《Curses》16. Revelations

Tyler started his rant, “THEY WHEN TO THE SAME CLASSES AS ME, HOW CAN THEY BE SO BAD! They were never in position. Sara, the mage, tried to the front line to ‘hit more shots’. What the fuck, how can she be so dumb? She is just going to die if she does that. It was so hard to keep her alive. Then you have Tom, who kept getting hit when attacking. He just ignored the enemy's attacks and tried to whack them with a hammer. It was even harder to keep him alive. Finally, you have Jerry, who somehow managed to completely fail at scouting out enemies and always got into a fight, always. Somehow he brought TWO mini-bosses back one time. How can they be so bad.”
“In the end, we had to retreat from the boss. We barely did anything to it. It punched Tom three times before had to leave. Ugh, how did your day go.” Tyler says finishing his rant.
I grin, “My day went pretty well, got to have some fun with the goblins, took down two hob-goblins and the boss. I got three artifacts, two of which I plan to sell, a bunch of mana crystals, and got to level 5.”
Tyler looked at me with shock and pain. “You cleared the first floor by yourself. Fuck dude, don’t let people know that. As easy as this probably seems to you, almost everyone has to party up for the first floor. If it got out that you can casually clear the first floor at the appropriate level and in one afternoon, well let's just say you would be forcibly recruited into a guild.”
“You’re overthinking it, people aren't desperate and who would want a curser. In my past life, I was the only one who got past floor 50 as far I knew. I know I was the only one who made a curse, got a title for it. Wait, why didn’t I get one this time.”

“I’ve been meaning to tell you, curses are pretty common. They are considered one of the best debuffs. I’m guessing this is different from your past life, given how you talk about them.”
“What, how did that happen. There were basically no curses last time. I had to make all of the ones I really used.”
As we had just gotten back to Tyler’s house, Tyler pulls out his phone and looks something up on it. “Been meaning to ask you are you Scholar of the first curse Zain. Ever since you proved you had beaten the tower once I’ve had my suspicions.” Tyler tosses me his phone.
I grab the phone and check it. It was an auction site, it was pulled up on a skill page. It was one of mine.
{Zain’s Curse of Tripping - Target has a 1% chance each time it moves to trip - Created by Scholar of the first curse Zain - Level 1}
“But how it just copied my spells,” I say confused.
“My guess is that it copied your skills when you first won then only told you now. The point in this is that with your name being Zain and your extreme talent in spellcraft, guilds might make a mad dash if you show off too much.”
“Oh god no, I really didn’t want to deal with this kinda stuff this time.”
“Then don’t, we just need a small team of people who are somewhat like you. Talented people who don’t care for a guild.”
“How do you know all of this stuff anyway.”
“Do you not remember how I went to classes for two years on this kinda stuff? I guess I did lots of extra stuff too.

Era: Dawn of the New Gods
Concise Synopsis: This is a post-apocalyptic story about the origins of various powerful figures that appeared after the apocalypse event. During the apocalypse monsters appeared possessing powers and constitution beyond the limits of human understanding. They ravaged the world and brought down all governments. The first part of the story follows Jade, a terrorist that was ravaging the world before the monsters arrived. Dramatic Synopsis: The New Gods, the most feared and revered beings on the planet. They are forces capable of absolute destruction and creation. The Council of Branches Hayley, the Living Lie (if that is her real name) Chao Feng, the Prince of Stars Lara, the Mother of Heroes The Great City of Tver Gog, the Ever Losing War The Unkillable Freak Dave, the Flow Demon Avatari, (only the name is known) Satoshi, the Gentle Hurricane As Impactful as they are no one knew their origin, they are called the New Gods so there must be Old Gods. I and my collegues dedicated our lives to finding their origins only to find out that the beings we fear and adore were once like us, average, mortal and weak... at least most of them were. *It is a sort of reverse RPG as no one knows anything either skills, abilities or how the system works but they find out on their own or develop their own skills or abilites. *The story has many protagonists and point of views but it paints a beatiful story of survival in a world of endless perils for both the humans and the monsters(some monsters are protagonists). *There is a system but it is very limited (not overpowered) and treats everyone equally, monster or human. The system is very different from regular systems; no exp, levels and system items. *The story is a world building story where overall, the world is the true main character. The cover image photo is credited to Angel David *For now it's one chapter a day

The Humanity Initiative (discontinued)

Recent VR technology has a potential candidate for that something.Farah Al Farzha never plays online, she loathes the very idea of it. She is in love with reality, and competitive fencing is her way to prove it. But when she reluctantly went online, she couldn’t exit, or at least a copy of her consciousness couldn’t.Human, but juridically speaking no more, Farah struggles in a game that would’ve been illegal. To her only consolation, the game is modeled after reality, a place foreign to the gaming brats around her. But what demands do the UN put on potential ‘human’ survivor candidates, and how will natural selection be replaced, when reality is no more? _______________________________________________________________________
