《The Farmer》Chapter 16
Advertisement
‘Something is definitely wrong here.’ He thought while staring at the farmer across from him.
He had just struck down the wolf that was fighting with him. His sword is coated in blood from the strike and it drips down to the ground staining the grass on his foot. He just saw his companion died in the hands of the man before him but it didn’t seem like it matters to him at all.
[Inspect]
Nothing happened. He stood confused while casually waving his right hand across the air in front him while the despondent farmer and grabs the wolf slowly caressing its’ fur.
The horizon is being colored by the almost setting sun. The moon can already be seen peeking from the clouds and the leaves rustles from the passing wind. Two corpses lies at the slope of the farmer’s hill along with his wounded wolves.
Without batting on eye on the corpse of his companion he walks over to her body and looks down at it before receiving a blow from the weeping farmer. The axe didn’t pierce his armor but it blows him back for quite a distance.
The farmer’s countenance darkens as he slowly walks towards the adventurer. Blood and dirt stain his clothes with some of are ripped to shreds from the earlier fight. His robust body becomes more apparent, showing the signs of his hard work, laboring in the farm every day. Grazed arms with blood dripping from his shoulder he shouted.
“You’re dead!”
‘Now you’re just being annoying’ he mused.
The adventurer positions himself and holds the sword with both hands.
[Drive]
A blue glow emanates from the sword and he began to slice the air in front of him, causing a blue wave to come out of it from every swing. The farmer is able to evade some of it by moving around him while trying to get closer. He stumbles and falls down the hills while doing so. Thinking that everything is over the adventurer sheathes his sword, sat down wave his hand.

“Let’s see…Status…Injury?”
He squints his eyes and slouch as his vision slowly drifts to the side.
‘Not even an EXP and he almost kills me.’ he mused.
He lies down and looks up the sky slowly being darkened by the setting sun. The grass surrounding him bends as a wind dashes against it making a soothing rustle for him to close his eyes. For a moment, everything seems peaceful. He wanted to sleep for the time being on the cold ground while wearing his sleeveless shirt.
In the same moment that he thought himself to be safe. Agta emerges from the shadow of one of the posts. Nightfall has begun but the place is lit by the moon. Creeping slowly from the shadows, Agta lunges towards the half-asleep adventurer. He was able to notice the wolf and was able to raise his arm and defended the attack that was aimed at his neck.
The wounded wolf is struggling to drag the adventurer around while gnawing at his arm. On the other hand, the adventurer couldn’t grab his sword due to it being sheathed to his right where the wolf is currently at.
Unable to grab his sword, he reaches to his inventory with his right hand and pulls out a wooden sword and hits Agta with it.
“How are you still alive!”
‘If only I could see their health points.’
He tries to stand up then puts his wooden sword away but was interrupted when Agta lunges again at him. He then drops the sword and reaches to his inventory again and pulls out a vial filled with a red liquid the same appearance the Yeeticus used during his fight with Bob. He drinks it while Agta is gnawing at his legs, deeming it more important than getting rid of the wolf causing his injuries.

After drinking the red fluid, the bite mark from his arm disappears, leaving his leg the only injured part. With some strength that he may have gained from the vial, he kicks of the wolf whose jaws have lock deeply in his legs.
The wolf whimpers as it hits one of the fences. It then glares at the adventurer before it slowly blends with the shadows that have now occupied the entire place.
“Come out!” His shout echoes throughout the farm. Turning his body round about guessing where the wolf might come out. He loosens his shoulders and goes into a stance, holding his sword with both of his hand then he took a deep breath. He swings his sword to his side where a blue vertical wave comes out of it but it hit nothing. Then Agta emerges from underneath him and tries to bite his neck off. Throwing him off balance and falling to the ground.
After the failed attempt the wolf returns back to the shadows before the adventurer could strike him with his sword. He once again stood up and prepared for another attack.
A howl from the top of the hill made him look. There stood the wolf with itss glowing yellow eyes. It is the same wolf that attacks him moments ago. He brandishes his sword and shouted at the wolf.
“Come on!”
Then from below the hill not far from him, an axe flew and hit him on his back, piercing it. Before succumbing to death, he was able to turn around and see the farmer that he thought he had already killed.
Wounded, Bob crawled back up the hill after stumbling. When he reaches the slope where he last saw the adventurer, he saw Agta gnawing at him. Without being discreet he moves slowly while maintaining the last ounce of strength that he has for a final blow. When Agta howled and completely distracted the adventurer leaving his back expose to an attack. Bob curls his arms, with both hands holding the axe. He throws it with the last of his strength.
Seeing the axe hit the adventurer and finally dying, his body began to fail and falls unconscious on the ground.

First Iteration
What is a soul ? Is it your true self ? Would you be the same if your soul kept traveling from life to life but your memories faded for each new life you had ? Your education would be different each time, your growing environment would be different, your personality might change. So what is the purpose of the soul ? Mortals never got an answer for this question. Finding an exact definition didn’t matter for them, what they knew was that a soul allowed reincarnation. Even if they lost some memories, getting glimpses of their past lives was more than enough. Getting the possibility of a new life, a better life was what they thrived for. This became an even greater truth as progenitors, the first of their cycle, became scarce. As hundreds of new progenitors were born each century, nowadays, no more than a handful of them appeared every 200 hundreds years. As they represent a new cycle, they embody new opportunities: some progenitors have made kingdoms, others have been their doom. So when four of them appeared at the same place, at the same time, how can it not be perceived as a sign ? A sign that things were about to change…

Glass Cannon
Mortal Coil is the best VRMMO in the market with millions of people playing it! In this game, two best friends made a bet with each other. Whoever becomes the #1 ranked would win. Such a simple bet, but to them, it was like a declaration of war. Being two of the most stubborn individuals on the planet that saw loss as a personal offense, they made this last bet before cutting off their friendship due to some... complicated matters(Don't worry It'll get explained in the book). The problem was, that one was super talented at the game, and the other was super shit. This story revolves around that player. No, not the talented one, the shit one. Hated by many for his rather "uncouth" strategies (one of which included hitting a guy in the back of the head with a wooden board, stealing all his stuff and leaving him stark naked in the middle of the woods), his name is Jack. Oh, and did I mention he's a min-Maxed for health which drives people insane? Unfortunately, as luck would have it, he stumbles upon the worst possible hidden class for him. Warrior of Glass. A class with insanely high attack power... and insanely low HP. He's also given a quest to retrieve a sword in the middle of the Ashen Forest (lovingly nicknamed "Suicide Woods" by the players) and another quest to kill 7 insanely powerful demon lords that roam the lands so he can fulfill his predecessor's legacy. Now, armed only with a veeery high damage output, an unbendable will of steel and his almost nonexistent sense of guilt (emphasis on almost), he still aims to become the #1 player. This time, with some serious handicaps.
