《Zenith》7 - The Wrath of Edwin Aldrin
Advertisement
Once again, my vision darkened and the next time i opened my eyes i felt very uncomfortable. All i could see was a dark void and i could not breathe. Then, i noticed something touching my feet. I bent down to pick it up and found out that it was a dungeon item.
Astronaut's Vision
Description: Provies you with the ability to breathe and nightvision for 30 minutes.
Uses : 3 left
So, this dungeon should be completed within 30 minutes,eh? looks like if i fail to complete the dungeon within 3 tries, i will have to redo the whole thing.
I immediately used the item and gained vision. The place looked completely deserted, almost like in the midst of the Saraha desert but had a lot of holes in it. I figured that this place was probably a remake of the moon's surface and the 'holes' were craters. I also noticed a timer on the top-right of my vision which read [29:59]. That was the time left for [Astranaut's Vision]. Well, that would certainly be very convenient to keep an eye on the time left while fighting the boss. The previous part of the dungeon did not have any monster so i was sure that there would be some in this part. Far away, i saw a huge boulder with a hole in it. That hole was probably the entrance to a cave or something. I walked towards the hole while being aware of my surroundings. Suddenly, a creature popped up from one of the craters to my right. The creature had the typical movie-alien look with two oval eyes and green skin. I read it's stats:
Alien
HP: 1000
Damage: 500
Skills:
Damn, that damage is very high! Just 3 attacks are enough to kill me. I need to avoid every attack to survive this.

I looked around and noticed about 50 Aliens coming up through different craters. That's when i regretted my decision of not bringing any potions. Anyway, it was clear that i had to go through that hole and escape so i started to run towards it. I drew my [Pandora's sword] and a Emperor tier sword came up. This should make me able to survive this.
Sword of Attila
Attack: 10,000-12,000
Special effect: Increases damage dealt by 120%
Special function [Possesion]: The user becomes possesed by Attila the Hun for 30 seconds. When possesed, all stats increase by 150% and the sword's attack increases by 200%. Cooldown: 60 minutes
Description: The sword of Attila the Hun, said to have been sent by the gods.
It was a pity that this sword could not deal splash damage and there was only 3 minutes for me to use it. Otherwise, i could probably be able to kill all of these disgusting aliens. I charged forward and slashed an alien blocking my path. The slash was obviously able to insta-kill it. I applied the same tactic for remaining 2 minutes- Run forward and slash anything in my path. However, after 2 minutes i noticed a change in the alien's behaviour. Their mouths began to expand and get bigger. This was probably the [Green spit] skill. Shit, i needed to do something. I immediately activated [Glory of sword] and killed 10 aliens near me. There were still about 40 of them left! Just as they targeted me and activated the skill, i threw myself to lay flat on the ground. Looks like i was a bit late and one of the skills hit my leg. I heard a sizzling sound in my leg and found that it was burnt.
"-1000"
Damn, i only had 200 health left! Any of the aliens could insta-kill me. I needed to dodge every attack thrown at me or i would be as good as dead. I was only about 20 meters away from the hole but the increasing pain in my leg made it very hard to run forward. I still tried to run as fast as i could in the situation following a Zig-Zag pattern. Thank god that the aliens did not use [Green spit] again. I slashed and killed about 7 aliens blocking my path. Other aliens stopped pursuing me but there was still one alien which was following me. I was still 5 meters away from the hole and i noticed the alien's mouth starting to swell up.

Not good! i have to dodge or interrupt this skill.
I looked down and noticed a fist-sized rock towards my left. I picked it up and threw it aiming at the alien's belly. It hit and the alien threw up on himself. The acid burnt the alien himself, killing him instantly. The hole was just before me and i jumped dramatically through the hole. Just as i landed, i noticed that the environment was completely different. The place had lights and was full of modern equipments. There were several AI bots programmed to use computers. About 40 meters ahead, there was a man sitting in a blue glowing chair looking in the opposite direction. He seemed to have noticed my presence and turned around.
"A human dare invade my territory? Have you come to foil my plan to destroy earth? Do you humans have any idea how insulted i felt when i was also among the first people to land on the moon but no one cared about me? Today, ill let you feel my wrath!"

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
