《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!"
Spectre of Edwin Aldrin Boss

Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.

Slime of Gluttony
_____ ___, a completely and utterly deplorable person. Lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. He spends his time as a shut-in, wasting his life away doing nothing of importance. This is the life of the man, a life of no importance. At the impulse of desiring food, he left his small and cramped apartment. Regretting his actions immediately, he was left with the prospect of a complete panic attack due to the numerous amount of people outside at that day. However, he pressed on, determined to find some sort of delicious food to consume. Life had other plans for him. He gets hit by a car, and after hearing strange words from an even stranger voice, he dies. However, minutes, hours, maybe even days later, he awakes, his senses of smell, sight, and hearing robbed of him. Author's Note: This is my first story on Royal Road, so it might not be the best. Although, I hope you enjoy! I'll probably write around 2000 words or more per chapter, but on average a bit more. If you're wondering, the cover art is drawn by me, just in case you thought I wasn't giving credit to the creator.This story might often times lean more into the comedy side of things, but stuff can still get pretty serious at times, especially in the later chapters. The story isn't super dark or anything, but character death is of course going to be a thing. Who? Well, you'll find out, eventually. Also, I'll upload chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope you enjoy reading this little hobby of mine!

Midori
The sea of stars. The momentaneous lifeforms that flicker far away. Our futures — a sea brimming with light. Each and every shimmer in the starry canvas serves as one’s infinite opportunities in the vast sea of the future. The world, however, is far from the ideals of such a mantra. Complacency is the enemy of progress, yet to the four known nations, each one sees enemies around their borders. An example: A village isolated from the nation of Alkai prevents the lives of many from progressing. It’ll take a society, a group, even a whipped together rag-tag team to jump start the quest for progress. An escape from a motionless home—in order to search for a greater future, Mira approaches her blade in a new light. Any illustrations I use for covers and chapters are illustrations I have drawn myself unless otherwise stated.
