《Zenith》9 - Saved by a Necromancer
Advertisement
My heart sank as i checked the city rankings.
1. Lemonade Lvl 13
2. Enryuu Lvl 12
3. Mahzino Lvl 9
4. Sorrow Lvl 9
5. Not noob Lvl 9
Damn, i had to win my place back to 1st. Well, first let's check the boss's loots. I bent down and saw a black helmet and a pair of shoes. I checked their attributes.
Helmet of Space
Type: Heavy Armour
HP +100
Defense + 15
Description : The helmet that Edwin Aldrin used in Space.
I immediately equpped it since my head was bare and then looked at the boots.
Boots of Darkness
Type: Heavy Armour
Defense + 20
Description : The boots used by Edwin Aldrin in Space.
I equipped it immediately. My defense rose by quite a bit so, my solo survival skills got better. I saved the SP i got and just as i was about to leave through the portal, i saw a white translucent figure that looked like Edwin Aldrin. It was probably his soul. The white figure spoke:
"I thank you, young one for releasing me from this cycle of hatred. Now, i can continue on and rest in peace. Since, you helped me, ill give you a blessing before i go."
"Ding!"
Well, that was certainly useful. Since the notification did'nt mention about me being the first, i guessed that everyone who completed the dungeon would get this boost. Well, time to get out of here. I went through the portal and was teleported to the entrance of the dungeon. I went to the city and went straight to the bank. I exchanged the 100 gold i got. The current Gold to Dollar ratio was 1:10, so i recieved 10,000$. Feeling immense happiness at my profit, i logged out of the game since i had been playing for 7 hours straight and i was ahead of most of the players anyway. It was 3 pm already and i did'nt even had had breakfast so i was feeling very hungry. I wore a black jacket which i bought last year and headed down to the grocery store. I bought a cup of instant ramen and asked the employee to cook it for me. I sat at the table outside the grocery store and ate it. I then jogged around the neighbourhood for an hour and headed back to my room. If i was able to make profit like that everyday then my dream was not impossible. The gold to dollar ratio would slowly decrease in time so now was the best time to farm gold. Filled with determination, i logged back into the game

Just as i entered the game, i saw a group of players talking. I heard them saying my name and immediately hid behind a building. I heard them talking.
"He's definiitely a hacker, there's no way a player could solo a dungeon."
"Then what about you? You also did slay a gold tier boss which is supposed to be impossible during this stage of the game. Enryuu had only killed a black tier boss. I don't think he's a hacker, he must just be really pro."
"I only managed to slay the gold tier boss due to the special reward i got for being among the first 10k people to register in the game."
"Then it is quite possible for Enryuu to also have a special reward, no?"
I peeked and found out that the player supporting me was called "Mahzino" and the other girl player was "Lemonade". Judging by the way they talked, they probably knew each other in real life. Well, i had no buisness with them anyway so i walked across the back of the buildings and entered another street. Then, i exited the city and went to a nearby hunting area. The monsters in the area were of around lvl 10 and had low damage but high HP. They posed no threat to me so, i i went to slay them. My [Pandora's Sword] reset to gold and silver tier swords back and forth and i managed to slay 400 of these monsters in an hour of merciless grinding.
Suddenly, something hit me and i was stunned. I rolled my eye balls to find a beautiful assasin striking me with her dagger. Her id was "Sorrow". I had finally grinded my way to almost lvl 13 and i didnt want to lose another lvl. I desperately tried to break the stun, all in vain. Just as the stun ended, she stunned me again, making me immobile for another 3 seconds. He dagger strikes were lethal and my health was degrading steadily. After the stun period ended, i only had 100 HP left. I was desperately trying dodge the attacks but still got hit a few times. I was equipped with a silver tier sword and it still had 2 minutes to reset. There was no way i could make it like this. I slashed the assasin once dealing about 500 damage instantly dropping the assasin's health by 50%. The assasin looked very surprise at my high damage and retreated backwards with 2 huge leaps. Then, i saw another male swordsman beside her. His Id was "Not noob". Another enemy shit! i gulped down a health potion i had saved and increased my health back to 50%. [Glory of sword] was my trump card and i did'nt want to use it unless it was absolutely required. The swordsman charged at me with a ridiculously high speed. I figured that it was a probably a skill. I leapt backwards and noticed another presence there. It was a female elementalist - Lemonade. These motherf*ckers were really persistent. The mage was casting a skill, the swordsman was charging at high speed and the assasin had gone to stealth mode. Just when i decided to use the [Glory of Sword] skill, a Necromancer appeared in front of me. It was Mahzino! He cast an unknown skill and everything in front me went dark. I saw Mahzino in front of me. He said:

"Don't worry mate, im on your side. These motherf*ckers's jealousy really has no bounds. Ganging up on a single player just because they could'nt beat you. This space is in an alternative dimension created by my original skill. The place here is related to the original world, so if you run here, you are actually also running in the original world. Cmon let's run."
I smiled and nodded my head. Both of us ran as far as we could. After a minute, we reappeared in the original world but we were already inside the city where pk was impossible. I decided to make Mahzino an ally for he was kind and helped me in need. Because of him, my [Glory of Sword] skill was not revealed and i was saved. I reached out my hand for a handshake and said, "Mahzino, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help. I will be sure to repay this debt."
He shook my hand and replied," Cmon dude, no need to be so cheesy and formal. And im not someone who asks a friend to repay a debt."
I smiled. I had gained an ally from almost dying. It was worth it. I said:
"Bro, how about we team up and play together? We can ensure each other's safety and our grinding will also become easier."
"Hmm, okay. Let's do that."

Blue Hills
Nothing had ever felt quite right for Alexander Adamson. He'd worked his way up to a job he could tolerate, a few casual friends, and even a nice little apartment that he could call his own, though it really wasn't. The problem was that none of it was satisfying. It was as though he were going through the motions of a life, rather than having one of his own. Of course, it didn't exactly feel right when he woke up in a strange bed in the middle of nowhere. Nor when he was told that he was now the proud owner and operator of a local farm. A farm that had belonged to a late uncle he'd never known. But with the first train out of town a full 'season' away, he had plenty of time to get used to the idea. Plenty of time, perhaps, to even get to like the strange little town of Blue Hills. I have a discord now. Marvel at my ability to somehow still be antisocial on the other side of a screen! Back from hiatus along with my other fiction. Chapters are on a Thurs/Sun schedule until book 3 of that fiction is completed, at which point I'll be updating this daily. At which point uh.... I dunno what I'm going to do.

Walking home one evening after school, Devin was attacked by a monster straight out of a horror movie.

Now she must figure out how to survive when everything seems to want to eat her, all while feeling the threat of that ancient eldritch looming ever closer.

The Meaning of Life
It all started with that voice. One day, a slightly psychopathic teenager named Krey heard a voice in his dream. A goddess's request, a new world, the legacies of the Divine realms, the never-ending storms in the world of Salratia. With the carefree thought of "I shall live as I please~!", Krey sets out to begin his 'otaku' dream. But it is not smooth sailing. Troublesome divine entities, mortal politics and the relationship with his new companions. How could he, a former assassin and former odd-jobs part-time high school student worker (not to mention an otaku), a perfect example of a loner (though he himself doesn't seem to realize it) be able to handle this problem? "Ei! Whatever, there's still a few more centuries! I'll go travel the world in peace!" [Author here. This is my first time writing a story in RRL. Criticism is very welcome as long as it is educational and has some tips and bits of advice for me. I am still learning]
