《My cheat skill sucks》Rainbows suck

Vision fading to black as I fall over unconscious
My eyes shoot open as pain overloads my senses AAAAAAHH
where am I? who is this? what happened?
I look around to get my bearings, scorched earth, night sky, the smell of roasted flesh and blood
Pain erupts throughout my entire body and I cough blood. This isn’t good.
Mind still groggy A blue box flashes in front of my face. Notifications? What is it this time Identify?

That's... new, there were a lot more things last time. did they combine? the whole layout is different now
''hey identify, tell me what changed''
Some skills merged, things got removed or updated and due to popular demand, identify became more user-friendly. find out the rest on your own
sigh as helpful and encouraging as always identify
I lean back to rest on my ar- flop
h-hey what the? looking down I notice the lack of a certain grasping appendage with only a nub of scorched flesh remaining
Advertisement
my mind sobers up instantly as I rotate the nub
whatwhatwhatwhatwhatwhatwhatwahtwahtwatwatwatwttttttt...
WHAT THE FLUFF HAPPENED TO MY ARM!?
the delayed shock and pain assaults my head...
Level up
clutching my head in the foetal position and breathing ragged breaths I try to assess the situation. ok. yes. I have one less arm. just breath in.. breathe out.
calm yourself, Su! this is no time to cry! think! think!
uuh. right! regeneration! ill have my arm back in no time! yup! I somewhat recall a message about limb regrowth so all is good. Ha. Ha. Ha.
Ha.
deluding myself from the pain and anxiety I turn my focus back to what little arm I have left and wince a little. ok, maybe a lot.
scorched closed from the intense heat and missing halfway down the humerus, it kind of reminds me of a burnt marshmallow. I flail around my nub hoping that somehow speeds up the regeneration, scattering charred chunks of flesh in the process and bringing back a wave of pain
wiping the tears away with my only free hand I assess what I have left
most of my body has regenerated back into working order save for my right arm and the constant ringing in my ears. my armour has seen better days but otherwise intact somehow with the cloak already mostly done regenerating.
I look up to the black sky to notice shades of red and orange peek over the horizon. how long have I been asleep for anyway? if feels like months
I climb out of the crater with great difficulty, breath straining from the effort and fogging up the cold air.
I emerge into some sort of plains, fit with wide grassy swaths of land I can only see thanks to my night vision.
atchoo~
I'm lonely, cold and everything hurts ~growwllll~
oh great, I'm also hungry...
plopping down on the ground I take out some take out from my inventory and nibble it with small bites.

bleh is this burnt taste from the food or the taste of my mouth?
Nevertheless, brushing away my absent thoughts and fallen crumbs I get up and resume my search, search for what? Oh well, my search for something
Is that a something?
Off in the distance in contrast to the back sky is some sort of bright light, I should go there to investigate.
Arriving at the anomaly, like a neon sign of five different colours announcing its presence to the world, a magnificent rainbow looming overhead. Shielding my eyes from its radiance, It's almost too bright.
I wonder if there’s a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow? Uuuh~ that way! New destination left leg of the rainbow! Yes, I know exactly what I’m doing.
It is strange though, this rainbow seems like some sort of physical thing instead of the usual light refraction of normal rainbows. That and how it forking GLOWS. Is this a magical phenomenon? I guess everything is a magical phenomenon technically…
Oh, I’m here! Now what do we have mister rainbow, what sorts of secrets are you hiding from me?
At the end of the rainbow sits a huge animal twice my height and four times longer. its thick barrel-shaped body of pure muscle glisten white atop comparatively stubby legs and armoured in plate-like skin.
It looks towards me craning its thick neck, small beady eyes glaring on the sides of its rectangular head, short ears and a large brutal horn sitting atop its forehead.
…
A rhino?
Unicorn of the rainbow lvl 55 – uses light and illusion magic, 60% threat. Beware of its powerful body and pointy horn. A generally docile monster that consumes the rainbows for sustenance
UNICORN? YOU CALL THAT A FUNHOUSE UNICORN?
The ground rumbles as the beast get up. Blinding light shines from its horn as its nostril’s flair up
**RUMBLE RUMBLE**
Is this an earthquake or something?
The rainbow darkens at a visible rate before turning black and disappearing altogether. The only light source in the dead of night snuffed out while I’m face to face with a massive rhino…
The creature turns around with heavy steps.
Is it running away?
**RUMBLE RUBLE**
Huh?
The unicorn raises its short tail and unleashes a torrent of glowing rainbow goop at me
Next thing I know I'm flying through the night sky with a caved-in chest and puking my guts out
Why does this always happen to me?
The world turns blurry through my tears and the foul stench hits me a second time.

Lost In Translation
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things. And people have branded me a myth. But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone. My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen. These are what real myths are. And me? I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick. Discord link here. [Disclaimer: Book 1 of this story will likely be published in KU by around the start of 2022, so please keep that in mind. Book 2 and onwards will continue here until they are published as well.]

The Rebirth of a Emperor
An Emperor reaches the end of his days, exiled and living in misery in a faraway land together with his entire dynasty and some friends from his time of rule. He regrets never being able to return to his beloved country and wonders if he made the right choice by leaving his throne to avoid a massive conflict but tries to comfort himself knowing many lives were spared. As he dies however, visions of a strange future appear as if to answer his doubt, making him shed tears of remorse, for his country's fate is not a good one after him, making his end truly a miserable one. However unexpectedly, his eyes open again to a place never seen before to a people he had no recollection of, in the embrace of a woman he at first has no idea of who it was. This strange, absurd situation quickly makes him realise what just happened, he does not know how he came to grasp the situation, but something made him understand this: This isnt his world and there is no turning back, no way to see his homeland again nor his family. In this horrible realisation, he cried, much like the infant he was now, marking his rebirth to this new world, which he saw as a punishment from God for his actions. ----------- Note from author: this story is the first i ever published, so please, to anyone who takes an interest in it, have a bit of patience with me and if you can, give me a bit of good old criticism. For now i will publish small chapters for i am not very confident in this, but as i write more and gain some experience i will release longer and better ones. Also English isn't my mother language so any advice or correction is welcomed.
