Chapter 28 - Level Up
Niko who gazed towards the hurt boar, turned his gaze towards the man as he spoke coldly, "And what would be our benefit? We could just wait for the boar to kill you and then kill it."
His tone was almost of pity and arrogance could be seen within it as well. This was extremely unlike Niko, however, he had his own plans.
The bald man's face turned dark as he knew he was in a disadvantageous position. The situation was already a lose-lose situation without any good outcome. If he continued to fight the boar like this, he had the confidence that he would be able to kill it, however, there would be too many consequences. He would definitely not leave this fight unharmed, and although he was confident in winning, there was still that lingering belief of loss which most likely meant death.
With these strangers around, the situation became even more complicated for him. As someone who has been in this strange world for a while, he knew how evil humans could be. It was like entering the world without laws caused their minds to be extremely strange, almost as if Hobbes was right all along. Human beings were truly evil in their core and the human society on Earth prevented their true feelings from erupting. The bald man himself had done various terrible things in this world, and a few human lives have been taken away by him both in this strange world and the on Earth. He was no stranger to these things, besides, he possessed his own plans towards this situation.
"Niko! So cool!" Zheng's voice could be heard in his mind. Niko's actions at the moment were completely unexpected, all Ivanic told them was to be wary of the other group and to not do anything disadvantageous to them, death was not unexpected and if those other people die they should leave unless they are able to take on the boar themselves.

Zheng was incapable of fighting at the moment, therefore, he did not make an appearance, while Ivanic watched from between the trees as he spoke to them.
"Be careful…" Ivanic spoke with worry as he knew how people in this world could be.
"Don't worry!" Niko spoke with confidence, but in truth he was worried. He was about to try something that he only saw in books and movies. All of this act he was trying to pull off made him completely nervous, however, he knew enough to not reveal it. Of course, he would never trust this man in front of them. He knew how evil and greedy humans were as he himself had his own experience with them, there was no way he would let his guard down. His heart was racing and his body getting sweaty, if he pulled this off he would thank those books which gave him various ideas as on how to act.
The bald muscled man was obviously stronger than them, but only by a level or two. This level difference wasn't enough to make him completely out of his league, and Niko wouldn't be doing something like this if he didn't have something under his sleeves.
The man looked towards Niko with an angry and helpless look and spoke, "I…"
Niko didn't want to waste time as he spoke seriously, "We take the drops, you take the body."
The man's face was extremely dark as he knew the position he was in. He couldn't afford to lose the beast he has been fighting and not only that but the body of this beast could be extremely useful as well.
"Fine." The man said with a grim expression.
Niko smiled and looked towards the boar and so did Candreva. The boar was getting ready to attack once more and as it was about to move.

"Roar!!" Candreva used the roar on the boar and everyone was quick to react.
The little spirit struck the face of the boar with force, however, the boar didn't fall over like the other normal boars. If they were able to make the boar fall on its side, they would be able to strike its belly which was extremely fragile.
The bald man also wasn't slow as he knew the importance of attacking fast. He used his skill once more and the serpent like aura struck the front leg of the boar and finally, it fell on its side as it was no longer able to support itself. Not only was it weak, but it was also lacking a leg and its huge body didn't help either.
"Bang!" The sound of the beast falling on its side echoed, waking up one of the guys who was knocked down earlier by the boar. The spirit once again moved and with power struck the exposed belly of the boar sending ripples throughout it. The strength of this little spirit was surprisingly strong and since Niko has begun to understand it much more the movements were much faster, especially since he had to control only one.
The strike was surprisingly strong as blood and other substances gushed out of the mouth. The eyes of the boar opened wide like it would pop out as it made a strange cry before it's death.
"The belly really is fragile! Too fragile!" Niko thought in his mind as it was almost too easy to kill such a beast. He understood that the boar was already weak and tired but still.
Suddenly a strange occurrence happened. Niko's body began to be enveloped by a white dazzling light, which made him look like an angel. He felt a strange power surge within his body whilst his mind cleared and a very comfortable and happy feeling was covering him.
"Level up!" Ivanic said with a happy tone as it turned out Zheng and Candreva have also been through the same thing. The watch on Niko's wrist buzzed, but he dismissed the thought of seeing what changes have occurred in his body due to the situation it was currently going on.
Items began to appear above the boar as his eyes turned towards the bald man, who no longer looked as grim as before.

Margrave's Divinity (Rewrite)
Power always comes with a price. Seventeen years ago, obsidian towers thousands of feet tall erupted from the earth near the world’s population centers. Strange magic accompanied their appearance—powerful and inexplicable abilities granted to lucky humans, called Embers for the burning in their eyes. Lyle isn’t lucky, though. When the recently-unemployed college dropout finally manages to get his hands on a Cinder, he is utterly disappointed to find that he will never be an Ember like his father or brother. Before he even has time to process his failure, a strange Ember shoves him through a tear in reality and into the cave of a dragon, where the titanic beast claims to be an ancient goddess of myth and legend. She has a gift for him, but it comes with a warning. War is coming. --- Posting Thursdays and Sundays at 8am Central. Confused about the rewrite? See my letter to previous readers here.

Project G00
|Nanopunk |Crafting | Detailed Science and experiments | Inner thoughts | Bio-Robots | Evolution | Infodumps | Tell not Show | Insane to Sane | Slow and Detailed Pace | Puddle to Unknown | Artificial Intelligence | Trans-humanism | Bad Jokes | Moving 'Dungeon' Core | Hi! I am G00. I am a project made by some weirdo. Some may refer to me as the wobbly thing in the fridge or the slimy thing in the ceiling. Others might tell you about that sticky thing inside your nose. In the end, they called me the Seed of Life, yet didn’t tell me what I was supposed to become. Furthermore, it just happens that this stage was the most miserable place to reincarnate... Reincarnate as in… What the hell did I become?! (Whispers) You are a puddle. A puddle? (Whispers) Yes. C’mon little guy, say your lines! You’re live right now! Welcome to puddle-springs aka the afterlife of a puddle. CUT! Eh? Why?! No edition or photoshop needed?! We’re short on puddle-staff. The camera is broken, I am broken, and you are broken. Wait! How can a puddle be broken? You are not a puddle, you are frozen yogurt. NOOOOOOOOOO! Additional summary: Spoiler: Spoiler Humanity has finally made the second step towards space. Many developments were taking place at the time this happened. All of them accomplished thanks to nanotechnology. Inventions regarding Artificial Intelligence and nanorobotics created the opportunity, a way to terraform planets by sending nanorobots to space. Their orders? Colonizing and preparing the new worlds before humanity's arrival, aka terraforming. Meet G00, a weird agglomeration of nanomachines. A bit stupid, but it's not because he was like that. The little guy... 'He' is really broken. The hardest start of a story is when language is oddly misunderstood, when you know nothing of the place you just arrived; when your companion is a buggy system, and when you have to repair yourself with whatever trash you can scavenge from your surroundings. All of this while you fight your worst enemy: potatoes? What will you do in an unfamiliar circumstance where nothing is what it seems and where you won't even understand the boring ramblings of a confused main character? Well, patience will... probably have a reward? Additional tags and disclaimers: Read before starting the story: Harem: Not included for the moment, depends on characters added, votes by readers, and things that happen on the go. Magic: Far away chapters maybe... as part of high level or non-understandable things by science. Slice of life: Probably some parts will include it. Disclaimer #1: Crazy amount of content about high-tech info-dumps, slow pace, starts with biology and nanotechnology. Might have some weird jokes and puns. Game bugs are also possible. Disclaimer #2: No puddles were harmed during the making of this story. No character is real, no real puddle was used as part of the cast. Character is stupid at the start on purpose but he will get beta and beta. All written content follows a logical approach no matter how stupid it appears to be, maybe… Because it’s just a raccoon splashing some cotton-candy over a puddle after it was thrown. Yup, a bully raccoon with rabies or so it seems.

Alternate Worlds
This is actually a group of short stories I did some time ago. The first group are 3 stories, all starring the same Protagonist but with different foes and ways of how the stories play out. Past this I have other story lines that I have done this with and will likely use this heading to put them out there. - Note: The Book Picture is the location of the Portal the car went through. There are 4 such statues set across from each other and then two of the large pillars, set across the street from one another. New Story Line: Lost is about a man lost in a world that Used to have summoned hero's, ones where the mages who did the summonings did not close the pathways properly, so sometimes people from all across time, space, and dimension end up falling in to their world. Some become heroes, some 'Demon Lords' and some something else. I have 3 versions of this story which I will put here, one chapter a day. 2cd version was massively flawed, which I only realized while sharing it. As such I am skipping it and moving on to the 3rd version. The 3rd Story of Lost is about a man who mysteriously fell in to a world based on video games, complete with leveled zones, levels of skills, professions and so forth. Being from a world like ours, with the knowledge of these things, gives him a decided edge and better potential than normal. --------------------------------------- New story - New Life, Old Soul is the story of a man who used desperate experimental magic to grant himself a new life in a new world. This is an Iseki story with a single twist as no outside force dropped or summoned this soul to its new life. Come and see what sort of world and life this willing traveler of Realities unknown experiences. I will try and post once a day, though times may vary depending on my the wierdness that is my life. ^-^ ------------------------------ Cosmic Chaos A Void Maker tried to destroy several realities, by forcing their crystal shells in to each other. The AOs of those realms fought back the best they could, including a desperate play of opening random portals between the divergent universes and the void. Several things, peoples, and animals fell through these portals. In the grand scheme of things very little of this had long reaching consequences. However, Some of these universes gained new time lines from these events.This is a story of one such event, of one very lost traveler dropped in to a very different world than the one he came from. Tags: Isekai, Gender Change (Male to Female), Magic, Drama (lets face it most of my stories have a bit of this in them even when I don't tag them thus, though I don't know how 'Realistic' the characters are.) -------------------------------
