《Curses》14. Some fun
Advertisement
My style of combat completely overwhelmed the goblins, who may or may not be able to move. Goblins have around 5 dexterity, when my {Hex of Slowness} is applied to them it may push their dexterity into the negatives making it impossible to move. From there I just poked them in vital spots. It was extremely easy, and after poking my way through the first floor, I ended up on a mini-boss.
The mini-boss was a five-foot hob-goblin, it had light orange skin with warts covering its face. Disgusting as always, but it would be a good test of my abilities right now. As I cast {Hex of Slowness} and I felt something I rarely ever felt while casting my spells, resistance. It took more mana than normal to hex the hob-goblin before taking hold on it.
The hob-goblin started to look around as fast as it could. It wasn’t very fast given the drop in dexterity. It found me after a couple of seconds due to my horrendous stealth skills. Even in my past life I never got the handle on stealth, I even had a skill for it and it never worked.
With a snort, the hob-goblin charged me or tried. It was super slow due to a certain hex placed on it. I walk over to it as casually as I could, holding my rapier I take some pokes at him. It barely does anything to the slow hob-goblin.
Upset that my low stats weren't allowing me to use the rapier effectively. Sighing, I dispelled {Hex of Slowness} and cast {Lesser Curse of Immolation}. Gasping as the mana cost was raised to 70 to cast it once. Why did a mini-boss at floor 1 have resistance to hexes and curses? It was a mystery for another day.
For now, I watched the hob-goblin slowly burn up on the inside with a smile on my face as I danced around the easily read attacks. It was always fun to watch my curses work their magic.

The hob-goblin was immolated after a short while, a warm feeling filled me up.

That felt good, now it was time to get to level 4 or 5, then fight the first boss. Before I left, I checked out the hob-goblins drops. It was a paintbrush? The drop I got is a paintbrush. I didn’t have an identifying skill so I would get it checked after I got out of the tower.
Skipping along while casting {Hex of Slowness} on every goblin I found before stabbing them in the heart and skipping away. I repeated this process until I found the next mini-boss. It went pretty much the same way. Low damage with a rapier, curse resistance, and the same paintbrush. Well, I could only hope it was expensive. I also got a level up.

I put the free points into wisdom and started to head for where I thought that the boss was located. It was time for my first boss fight in this life.

Thomas the Brawler
Thomas doesn't remember what his last name was, before it became Bluebrim, a name belonging to another universe. He's also pretty sure he wasn't this stupid before he arrived, but what can you do, when a day that was supposed to begin with an interview to set your life back on track instead begins in a universe that makes no sense, with rules you can't begin to understand? Maybe he should have paid more attention to the avatar creation screen ... Content warnings: All of them. Seriously. Expect lots of blue screens to begin with. Don't expect a power-leveling fantasy, in which the lone hero beats up all the bad guys, and gets a harem of women. There's just a guy who treats character creation like an annoying series of pop-up advertisements, and the story is basically the ramifications of that. The main character has to learn to take the world he's found himself in seriously, and he'll learn the way most of us do, by doing it wrong first. This is, insofar as it is successful, a dark comedy fantasy. Also a bit of horror, particularly but not exclusively body horror. I'm pretty sure I've earned those Content Warning tags, so, uh, yeah. This is practice. Hopefully things improve as I go, and figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I make no guarantees things will ever get better. I've already made mistakes, I'll make more, and I'm happy to notice them each time I make them. You don't improve unless you fail. (On the plus side, it probably won't get much worse.) Feel free to point out anything you think I'm doing wrong; I don't promise to change anything, particularly if it's a matter of taste, but I am looking to improve, and figuring out what I need to improve goes faster if I don't have to try to figure it out myself. I've updated the earlier chapters for formatting, in the hope that it would make everything easier to read on mobile devices. Hopefully things work slightly better now, but please let me know if there are any issues anywhere.
