《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 59 - Fighting Lessons (Diablo III)
Advertisement
As Shang and his group continues to move close to the gates, they can see four figures fighting.
One of the four figures is a bald bearded man in yellow robes using nothing but his fist and kicks to destroy the incoming zombies.
Second figure is a orange haired muscular woman who wields an axe in her hand. She looks like she is injured but her expression shows joy while fighting the zombies.
Third figure is a black armored woman whose side buzz hairstyle looks modern. She wields a crusader shield in one hand and a flail on another. Each swing of her fail brings heavy blows to the zombies, turning them into bits of flesh and bone.
Last figure is just a fully clothed knight that wields one sword. He seems to be match for the attacking zombies without requiring assistance from the other three.
While watching the scene, Shang calls Ale to his side.
Shang: Ale, take a good look at how they fight.
Ale: Yes, teacher.
Ale looks carefully to make sure he does not miss a detail.
After a while, Shang asks Ale.
Shang: What do you think of them?
Ale: The two women look strong but the uncle and the knight look weak.
Shang: They look weak but they have the skills to defend themselves, don’t they?
Ale: Yes, teacher.
Shang: Remember this well. Don't judge a book by its cover. Appearances can be deceiving.
Ale: Got it.
Ale later notices something.
Ale: Teacher, the uncle seems to have the same fighting skills like yours.
Shang: That’s right. My fighting style is similar to his style. To learn my fighting style, you still have to go through my training. Do you still want to continue?
Ale: Of course. I will become the strongest man in the world.

Shang smiles at the answer.
Shang then asks Ale.
Shang: Here’s my question, if you can no longer fit to continue my training and there are other types of fighting style in front of you, which one will you choose?
Ale: Who says I am not fit! I will show you what I am made of!
Ale feels insulted.
Shang: Ha ha, relax, Ale, I was only asking.
Ale: I don’t know.
Ale does not know as he has little knowledge in the outside world.
Shang: What do you know about magic?
Ale: Magic? I only hear stories about mage academy in Caldeum from mother. She says it is where only the rich and clever people can go. I don’t think I have the brains or coin for that kind of thing.
Shang: There are places where you can learn without coin but if you really don’t have the brains, I don’t see why I should continue your training.
Ale: Eh? Why?
Ale is startled by Shang’s reply.
Shang: Always think before, when and after you fight. This is what happen if you fight without thinking.
Shang points to the scene which the group has been watching.
It seems the zombies have temporarily stopped their advancement and The four people feel relieved. The muscular female falls flat on her back exhausted, not noticing there is still a zombie which is crawling slowly towards her. If it’s not for the bearded man’s high alert of his surroundings, the female would have been bitten. The three later entered the gates of New Tristram.
Ale: Woah! That was scary.
Shang: Scary indeed. Let’s go then, we discuss this later.

Soulmancer
A fantasy LitRPG filled to the brim with soul summoning and all things soulmancy. Mat couldn't have known he'd wake up with a full suit of armor. He was half expecting a crippling hangover, and the other half a face full of drawn penises. He got neither, which was good, but not enough to justify him being out in the middle of nowhere under the pouring rain with very heavy metal armor on. When he saw the dead bodies on the ground, it finally dawned on him he wasn't anywhere close to home. Not one bit. Things happened after the next, and after hours on end he found himself facing off against a giant of a beast out in the middle of the woods. And if that wasn't enough, he then got held at knifepoint by three naked bunny girls in a nearby river. Things were getting weirder and weirder by the day, but he was determined to make it through and hold on in this new world he magically found himself in. Still, a strong will and magic powers aren't the only things he needed to survive. He'll also need souls- a lot of them, and a trio of bunny girls to help him with magic algebra and basic physical fitness. 6 chapters per week. Image taken from shutterstock.

Falling from Earth
He won. He defeated Fate. He took his life into his own hands, the only way he knew how. He killed himself. ......................... He cheated. Fate cheated too. He didnt die. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a amateur writer. English is my first language. I appreciate it when people point out grammar issues. I also appreciate constructive critiques. I'm writing this mostly because I've read so many novels on here that i feel that I should give back to the community. Will be at least a chapter a week. Every Friday. I keep a buffer of 3 chapters, so if i get on a roll and write more chapters, there will be more updates. My chapters will be at least 3000 words, prologue excluded. I'm shooting for more like 6000 words a chapter, mostly because i never like how small the chapters are in most novels on here. Not enough MEAT. Oh and comments that touch my heart get me excited to write. Just figured that out.

A World Beyond
Every century Arkadia is faced with a trial as the Demon King returns to wreak havoc upon the lands, and thus each century a Hero rises to take up the mantle of the Heroes of old as they pass on their strength and knowledge to the new Heroes so that they may defeat this ancient threat. But as the ninth Hero had defeated the Demon King once again after the sacrifice of his friends, and he too was ready to pass on he found himself inexplicably reborn as the tenth Hero with all his memories intact. However the birth of the Hero signfies one thing, the rise of a stronger more frightening Demon King. Perhaps now with these memories, there was hope of defeating the Demon King and releasing the world of this curse once and for all.

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.
