《Indomitable Marvel》41 - Olik and Grak
Advertisement
Vott taking to heart what Muthos said ordered his men not to harm any trolls unless necessary. He had a soft spot for those who cared about their people even though he felt like their troll guides were unneeded at this point.
Theoric tightening his fists was more than ready to test his new strength as he barreled through the opposing force, punching out every troll in arm's length.
Vott recalling the corridors as they traveled through the streets and alleyways of the city increased the pressure as he urged them to finish it faster.
"No time to waste, we don't want to get surrounded again, finish them now and move on," he said dodging a strike as he used his newly acquired smaller ax backward to knock the troll on the head making him pass out cold.
Some of the more unskilled men though resorted to killings not to mention the ones who still held resentment deep down for the loss of their brothers.
Vott could only smile wryly hoping that Muthos didn't hold it against them as time was of the essence.
Muthos seeing most of the Asgardians try and keep true to his words made him feel a bit differently when thinking about how he was using them.
Leaving those thoughts behind he continued to lead them on towards the shipyard which was just a designated spot located on the far east side of the city.
The trolls have yet to build any significant structure in which to house them since they still had only a small number of ships that were either scavenged from wreckage or stolen from others. Very few of them were gotten in an upright manner and fewer still were made from the hidden machine that could create anything.
They reached the wall which had an open space before it so the troll men could gather before heading to the ships.

In front of the exit to the shipyard was the red armor troll, that they met at the supply depot, waiting for them with a troll squad of about 50 trolls. This was all he could scrounge up on such short notice when he arrived back at the city and heard the alarms.
The red armored troll grinned when he saw them arrive,- "Well, would you look at this, I was just about to go look for you and here you come delivering yourselves to me." It was a coincidence running into them here, he was just looking for a new ship to commender after his last one blew up back at the supply depot.
Vott enraged practically turned as red as his hair when he saw the troll who tried to backstab him only to kill Barath who pushed him out of the way, saving his life.
Vott yelled- "Don't fool yourself, I'll be sure to kill you this time, now that you're not sneaking around my back!"
Intending to rush him he was held up by Theoric who placed his hand on his shoulder to calm him.
Theoric- "Wait, someone else is coming." he said turning around to a loud banging and crashing coming from behind them.
A giant 8ft tall troll with wild brown hair and beard and large thick armor covering only his torso and nether regions, came smashing through the closest buildings letting out a fierce roar letting out a laugh- "Hahaha, I caught up with you maggots."
The red armored troll frowned at the new troll- "Olik, I see you're still running around without a leash."
Olik grinned back- "Grak, you best watch what you say or the Asgardians won't the only bones I grind between my teeth."

Grak grumbled in a low tone so he wasn't heard- "You're lucky to be related to our majesty, otherwise I would have killed a mad dog like you long ago."
Olik, brother of Ulik, was a wild troll who did as he pleased without fear of repercussions due to his immense size which gave him overwhelming confidence when dealing with all those smaller than him.
While his size did give him strength superior to most trolls, he was not as strong as his brother Ulik who was in a class of his own. This greatly displeased him, not understanding how someone smaller than him could be stronger.
This led to him acting out, trying to prove he should be feared and respected just as much as his brother Ulik.
This need for respect drove him to seek comfort with women and when he found one that was already taken he grew a taste for stealing what wasn't his. He made a name for himself by killing the husbands of troll women he wanted to sleep with quickly earning the name Olik the Widow Maker.
His attitude and actions growing far worst once Ulik took over the kingdom, the shadow of his brother now driving him mad with jealousy as he abused his status as a brother to his majesty to get away with even more despicable things, even reports of him eating other trolls were reported at one point.
Grak on the other hand, considered himself a noble warrior fighting for his brethren and the good of all trolls, doing whatever was necessary to see the rise of their species.
Theoric managed to hear Grak's grumble looking at the big troll who stood close to 2ft above him, not to mention his massive size from his bulging muscles. He wondered if this troll could be stronger then his brother Ulik, it would be a good benchmark regardless to see how far he's come.
Theoric- "I'll take the big one and leave the red one to you."
Vott snorted- "There is no way I'm letting anyone take him from me, he will pay for what he's done."
Olik looked around at the Asgardians licking his lips with anticipation,- "I can't wait to dig in." he said as he strolled forward only to be stopped by Theoric who stepped in front of him.
Olik thinking nothing of it grinned- "I guess you'll be first."
Meanwhile, Vott was leading the other men with Muthos and company included to charge over and take on the Grak, the red armored troll, and his men.

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *

Just a Game
“A great corruption is spreading. The people cry out for a savior. For a hero. For YOU! Come join the fight, as the chosen of World Tree! Receive the blessings of the gods, battle fierce monsters, and become the hero you were meant to be, in Arcanum Online!” It was the cheesiest commercial Ethan had ever heard, but the gameplay was enough to draw him - and thousands of others - to the fantasy world of Lazuros. It’s the sort of place that can really draw you in - a huge open world, a deep character customization system, and a feature that makes time pass slower inside the game, extending your limited playtime! It was a little strange, though. As if it was a bit too realistic for a game of swords and sorcery. The NPC’s seemed almost alive, most quests didn’t reset and monsters respawned slowly. Still, for all it’s quirks, it was a good game! Just a game. And nothing more. …right?

Reborn as a Dungeon Boss
If anyone were to take my actions, my feats, my influence on the world, and write them down as a story, there would be one point that needs to be raised before all else. This is not a song of redemption. This is not a tale of hope. This is not a parable of goodness. No. Mine is a warning of destruction. Slaughter. Death. For death brought me into this world...and death I shall bring to it. This will be my second attempt at writing a novel. For the fans of my first work, I'm sorry for disappearing for so long...life happened. I will continue that one at some point, but for now I want to try to get back into the groove of writing. Thank you for giving me a chance.
