《Zenith》3 - Pandora's Sword
Advertisement
After accepting the quest, i headed over to the farm and noticed a few purple-coloured weird rats. I got closer to them and read their stats.
Rat
Lvl: 0
Health: 50
Attack: 10
Skills: None
Without delaying further, i went ahead and started to kill them. These rats only attack every 5 seconds while i could finish one of them in 10 seconds. None of my attacks missed which was probably because of the luck attribute. After mercilessly killing them for another 5 minutes, i had finished the 30th rat and my lvl rose up to lvl 1.
"Ding!"
Oh? so one can get rewards for being the first person to do something, eh? Well, i better speed up then.
First of all, i walked up in a hurry to the old village chief to recieve my quest reward. "Bravo young man, you have not dissapointed me. I can see you becoming a great hero in the future. Here are your quest rewards"
I immediately equied my [Noob's sword] and checked its stats
[Noob's sword] :
Damage: 5-10
Special effect : None
Well its still better than the initial sword which added 1 damage.
I wanted to make sure that i would be the first player to reach lvl 2. So, to earn experience faster i decided to go to the lvl 3 training ground. As soon as reached there, i saw various packs of wolves staying in various regions. I decided not to confront them and to amush them one by one. I walked through the forest at the side and observed the behavior of the wolves. "Know yourself and your enemies and you will win" was something i believed in. Just as i was thinking on how to ambush them i noticed something breathing behind me. I looked back and saw a Huge wolf about 50 metres away from me. This wolf was standing on 2 legs and as i looked around, i noticed 2 female wolves 'entertaining' him.

Damn these developers, wtf is this. Well its all good for me, i can ambush him when he's distracted
I walked a little further and read the wolf's stats. Apparently, he was the king of the wolves.
Wolf King
Lvl: 5
Health: 5000
Attack: 100
Skill:
Woah, it's a black tier boss. I will probably get some sort of achievement reward if i manage to slay this
Bosses and equipments in Zenith were of 10 tiers: Noob, Black, Silver, Gold, Violet, Emperor, Saint, Divine, Demi-God and God. Open-world bosses in Zenith would not spawn again once slain which made the competition for them very tight. My luck attribute was starting to show it's importance. This boss even just being one tier above noob tier was still very difficult for me slay by myself. I had to take advantage of the terrain. I walked around and looked up to see if i could take advantage of the terrain. 20 meters to my left i found a 100 meter deep hole. If i could bait and drop the boss down the hole, it was possible to kill him. Then, i immediately covered the hole with some leaves until the hole could not be seen. Now, time to bait the boss. Since, the boss was still being 'entertained' it was super awkward for me go ahead. So, i picked up a stone and threw it at the boss.
"0" popped up in the boss's head but it was enough for me to again the aggro of the boss.
The boss looked up to me in fury and said "You dare disturb me while im having fun? Looks like you're tired of living." Then he pushed away the two female wolves and started to run towards me. I immediately started to run towards the trap i had created while maintaining the distance between me and the boss to be as minimum as possible to decrease the chance of the boss finding about the trap. When i was just a nipple hair away from the trap, i made a back turn, dashed towards the left, crouched and kicked the boss's leg towards the hole. The boss fell down the hole and number popped up in his head.

"3000"
Damn, it was not enough to kill him. Oh well, its not like the boss could do anything to me though. Next, i had to find a way to finish of the boss without goind down. I could not deal ranged damage since i was a swordman. So, i rolled the largest rock i could find and threw it down the hole. That was enough to kill the boss.
"Ding!"
"yes"
A system notification popped up throughout the server.
Hell yeah! a white light flashed through me and my level was raised to lvl 3.
"Ding!"
F*ck yeah! I was rich! I had a total of 3570 copper coins. I exchanged it for 3 gold coins and 5 silver coins and had 70 copper remaining. The only thing bad about this was that i could not pick the boss drops as it was down in the hole. Well, i could go down, collect everthing and kill myself to respawn but death results in -1 Lvl in Zenith and i decided that it was not worth it. I walked back to the town and went to the merchant to see if there was anything interesting. There was one item which gained my interest.
Pandora's sword
Damage : N/A
Special equip : Every time you draw a sword, the sword becomes another sword. You can draw the sword once every 3 minutes and the sword also automatically resets every 3 minutes. The chances of getting a sword of higher tier is 1/100^n where n is the number of tiers above. For example, the chance to draw a god tier sword is 1/100^8 = 1/10000000000000000 as god tier is 8 tiers above black tier. The drawn sowrd will never be of noob tier.
Cost: 2 Gold
It was a fine equipment for everyone but for me, with my max luck attribute, this was a gift from the heavens! My max luck would increase the chances drastically and would make it 10% chance to draw a god tier sword.
OP!, Super OP!

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
