《Breaking The Game》Quest 1: Kill A Slime
Advertisement
“This is such garbage!” Rex shouted at the top of his lungs while running in an open field. The tall grass fell over as he barrelled through the area at an alarming speed. Behind him was a large blue ball. Though translucent, its outer edges were much brighter compared to its center and seemed to hold a small wooden rod. The low-leveled monster continued to bounce as it followed its target with unwavering determination.
“Stop crying about it and just kill the stupid slime,” Nicholas replied with an apathetic tone. He was sitting underneath a large tree, resting in the delightful shade while his friend ran around like a mad man. The slime hadn’t noticed him, and he preferred to keep it that way. There was no point in rushing in to save the would-be knight. As a [Smart Peasant], Nicholas knew better than to get involved.
“Use your skill, dammit! Find a weak spot or something.” Rex yelled back as he continued his run. His background in athletics helped him during the chase, but his stamina was quickly diminishing. The situation needed to change quickly or else the slime would catch up to him.
“Fine. I’ll do it again. [Observe].” Nicholas said before using his skill. It was given to him upon his initial class change, along with another skill. [Observe] scanned anything the user desired and replied with information based on its level. Its current level of one meant that it only provided general knowledge, which Rex refused to accept.
“OBSERVATION COMPLETE. TARGET IS A SLIME. TARGET IS BLUE.”
“Genesis isn’t saying anything new. Just hit it with the stick.” Nicholas said before nustling against the tree. A quick nap was exactly what he needed. The day was beautiful, and his spot was perfect. Fighting could happen once the two understood how to better handle the current problem.

“It ate my stick!” Rex explained why he was unarmed. The weapon that he previously had was immediately ingested by the monster. Currently, the stick was freely floating within the slime, but it would soon be digested.
“Don’t stab it then. Smack it with your skill.” Nicholas rolled his eyes. His gaze followed the tree’s limbs, stopping at all the out-of-reach weapons. He silently wished they had better weapons, but the team’s funds were limited. Food and shelter were infinitely more important than any sword, especially for a couple of novices.
“I can’t use [Reckless Swing] until my stamina recovers. It’d be faster if I wasn’t running around like a lunatic. Plus, this stupid de-buff skill makes it even harder!” Rex shouted before focusing on the run. His sprint slowed as his path curved to stay within yelling range. The blue slime behind him continued to follow without showing any sign of exhaustion, and it was slowly gaining ground.
“Right. De-buff skill…” Nicholas mumbled as he thought about the recent chain of events.
Class changes came with new skills, so the two obtained a few recently. Those skills represented the classes they were given. As sub-classes of the general [Peasant] class, the two received skills befitting of such a title. Rex received [Malnourished] which reduced both his stamina and stamina regeneration. Meanwhile, Nicholas obtained the skill [Underdeveloped] which reduced his six stats by ten percent. Along with their general class was a unique title, due to their original requests. [Smart] came with the skill [Observe], and [Brave] came with [Reckless Swing].
Nicholas smirked as he thought about the humor in the situation. Had he been alone, he would have been frustrated. Starting from the bottom was always difficult, but he knew they’d be able to. Heavy eyes stared far beyond their target before slowly lowering to the ground. It was a peaceful moment. A chance to finally unwind after everything that had happened.

Unfortunately, it didn’t last.
Rex was racing toward him at an alarming speed. His swift approach left him with little time to alter his companion. Without a moment of hesitation, he dodged to the left as the slime lunged at him. The creature missed its intended target but landed on a new one. Nicholas immediately panicked at his airways clogged with a thick fluid. He rose to his feet and grasped at the monster that burned his skin. Frantic hands seeped through the slime, unable to pull it off.
“Hold on! I got this!” Rex screamed as he raised his newfound weapon. The mighty stick blocked out the sun before hurtling toward the earth. It swept through the air at an impressive speed, colliding with its target with a considerable amount of force.
The slime’s body rippled from the impact. Visible waves of force coursed through its exterior before echoing back to its origin. The multiple ripples pushed its enemy away with the same force that originally crashed into the body. Time seemed to slow as the stick rushed back. Rex had no chance to react to the odd sensation. He couldn’t stop his weapon.
In a single moment, the stick slammed into his face.
Nicholas fell to his knees before fully collapsing from lack of air. The slime popped the moment it touched the ground. Rex remained standing as silence engulfed the two. Neither man wanted to move both out of exhaustion and humiliation. Moments passed, though they felt like an eternity, before something new happened. The two thought it was another enemy but didn’t have the energy to react. Thankfully, it was a good message.
“LEVEL UP. NEW SKILLS ACQUIRED.”
“Hooray,” both Rex and Nicholas moaned in unison. They were one step closer to their original goal, but their current battle results kept them from celebrating. Of course, they assumed the new skills had to be great. The two suffered from an interesting encounter, so any skills should be related to what had just happened. Both asked for their skills out of morbid curiosity. Hopefully, it would be something to better handle slimes.
“[SMART PEASANT] HAS RECEIVED THE SKILL [PANIC RESISTANCE I]. [BRAVE PEASANT] HAS RECEIVED THE SKILL [SELF-HARM RESISTANCE I].”

Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy. Part 1: Chosen Few — A mundane visit to the local science museum starts off a series of worrying events for Austin Travis and his friends. They would like nothing more than to continue living their lives as they have, but the universe seems to have other plans… Part 2: Chosen Elite — CSF-1 and the Eximius Vir return to normal military operation and discover a clue to finding powerful ancient technology. However, they aren’t the only ones to discover this clue, and soon find themselves in a race against time to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands… Part 3: Chosen Hidden — As the summer comes to an end, Pierce Bradley and his friend prepare for their last few days studying abroad on an alien planet. Pierce would like nothing more than to return home and flaunt his new experiences in front of his friends and classmates, but the universe seems to have other plans… Chosen and its three parts begin the Key Saga, a new novel series that takes place 20 years after Rise — which tells the tale of the aforementioned evil. Reading Rise is not a prerequisite for reading Chosen, but it will help to understand the setting and the various conflicts within. Character art on cover by @quassihollic on twitter.

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
