《Subordination system》Twin Adventures
Advertisement
Arjuna and Perseus had met outside of the village getting ready to grind. The rabbits in the field faced another time of slaughter. While Jason was alone and had to rely on his own skills Arjuna and Perseus had excellent teamwork and were able to crush large amounts of rabbit in one go.
With real-time information coming to them about the rabbit guards in the forest they moved in cautiously always ready to see one pop up in their surroundings.
If Jason were in the same beginner's village as them, things would have been so much more convenient, but sadly that was not the case and most of Jason's friends were also spread out across different beginner villages.
Arjuna and Perseus were discussing their plans after getting into the real game when 4 rabbit guards came into view. Perseus motioned to Arjuna, who nodded in confirmation.
Perseus started to circle around the rabbit to get to a good spot while Arjuna retreated a bit back to find a place farther away from the rabbits, yet close enough to see them and subsequently snipe them.
Perseus found a small hollow hole in a tree that he could squeeze into that was between Arjuna's position and the rabbit guards. He lay in wait for Arjuna's signal.
Arjuna drew his bow in an intense motion without making a noise, his arrow pointed toward the rabbit guard closest to him and with a soft motion he let go of the arrow.
The arrow flew true and hit one of the rabbit's head. The rabbit instantly fell to the ground dead, the other 3 guards ran to get cover. After a few seconds, Arjuna could hear the bushes rustling under the intense charge the rabbits made in Arjuna's direction.
The rabbits were ready for any attacks and any attempt by Arjuna to hit them was only met by the rabbits crazy strafing and dodging.

But Perseus was there, the moment the rabbits passed by his little hollow hiding place he jumped out stabbing at one of the rabbits. Unfortunately, the rabbit was already alert and managed to divert the stab to its hindleg instead of its back. The rabbit's speed was hindered but the other two rabbits charged at Perseus intending to make quick work of him and then return to chasing after the person who had killed their brethren. At that moment they stopped to look at Perseus and stare at him with their beady red eyes and ferocious horns.
That was the moment the twins were waiting for 2 arrows imbedded with some sort of magic bought from one of the stores flew toward the rabbits one hit a rabbit on its head and it fell dead, while the other one managed to deflect it with its horns.
Perseus was now facing 2 rabbits, an injured one and a perfectly healthy one.
He dashed toward the smallest one intending to kill it first and used his skill spirit, at the cost of some mana his lower body started to emit a small glow and Perseus's speed increased to the point where he could see the rabbits. He jumped up and used strike on the injured rabbit killing it and then immediately used dodge to evade the last rabbit's attack.
Perseus's sprint skill had run out so he was desperately moving around trying to evade the rabbit's attack. Out of the corner of his eye, Perseus had a glimpse of Arjuna on the left of the rabbit, he promptly turned around and charged the rabbit much to the rabbit's confusion.
The confusion did not last long as an arrow hit him on the back and then a sword swung directly onto his head.
Similar battles like this happened when Arjuna and Perseus were fighting sometimes they would have Arjuna walk up and practice his acrobatics skills and other times they spent time practicing their dodging skills. Eventually, they leveled up 3 times, and their skills all hit level 2.

After getting the third level up the twins decided to take a break. Perseus address the new bow and quiver he had noticed a while back.
"Hey nice quiver, where did you get it?"
Arjuna smiled and caressed it while answering
"mhm first clear on the training center"
"ah lucky I wanted good gear too, I guess master beat me to it than"
Arjuna asked Perseus again
"by the way what did master want us to look out for again?"
Perseus threw his head back and after a few seconds he remembered and answered
"ah yeah, that thing, he told us it was a thing called mc he also said to not tell anyone else unless he told us we could"
Arjuna asked
"thing? isn't it a person"
Perseus scratched his head
"uh I guess so, well he said we would figure it out when we see it and to recruit the person at all costs"
The twin's conversation regressed to comfortable silence, the twins were virtually born together and didn't feel any sort of discomfort around each other. Perseus broke the silence
"So what are you going to name your group of elites?"
Arjuna answered with a proud smile
"I'm thinking of naming it Phantasy"
"really, is there a reason?"
"nope it sounds cool"
"yeah I figured"
"how about your guild?"
now it was Perseus's turn to be proud of his naming sense
"ah I read a cool book from master's world he bought it for me as a gift the guild name in it was really cool so I'm calling it Silver wings"
"hmm I guess it'll work"
Perseus got a bit excited
"Yeah, it will! it's going to be the coolest thing ever!"
Arjuna skilled at his brother getting excited over his guild but then looked at the sun
"We should get going"
Perseus who was in the middle of raving about his guild stopped in midsentence to also look at the sun.
"Alright fine, let's hurry up and make our guilds and be awesome!"
Suddenly they stopped to look around cautiously. The twins had both heard a noise in the distance. Their alert eyes probed the entire hunting ground looking for any indicator.
After a few minutes, nothing could be found and they went on their way but not without their hands on their sword hilt and arrow.

Zombies
This is one of three stories that I am offering as a test run. If you like it, then I'll choose to continue working on it. I have a whole plot line ready to explore! What can I say, I'm a sucker for rebirth, regression, and transmigration stories. This one is a regression story. The main character get's yeeted back in the past, to where the end began. Read on tortured souls as I do my best to break the weak, and sooth those who don't have a soul to break. I spent some time trying to make a story that explores all the gritty situations a resident of the apocalypse would encounter. Unfortunately, I do struggle with pace. I get just as impatient as you when I can't get to the next bloody encounter. But I despise OP characters, and I really wanna stop and explore the fascinating death of civilization. I write this in hopes of making a main character who get's to be the bad-ass I can't be, without, you know, skipping the good stuff.
