《Curses》26. Second Times the charm
Advertisement
[CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE REACHED LEVEL TEN AND ARE READY TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP ON YOUR JOURNEY]
[PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR NEW CLASS]
[1. Student Curser - Start your path to power as a Curser - +2 INT per level, +1 Free stat per level - Curses are 10% more powerful]
[2. Student Bard - Start your path to power as a Bard - +1 DEX per level, +1 WIS per level, +1 Free stat per level - Bardic spells are 10% easier to cast]
[3. Lesser Cursed Bard - Your path is twisted by having a large talent into more than one path, though a force of will you try to merge them - +1 DEX per level, +1 INT per level, +1 Free stat per level - You can cast curses using Bardic methods]
[4. Cursed Winner - You’ve proven that you can beat the tower, but at what cost - +4 INT per level - You can cast curses of one tier higher]
[5. Pure magic genius - You’ve proven that almost no one can match you in any type of magic - +3 INT per level, +2 WIS per level - All spells cost 10% less mana]
Looking at the options numbers one and two are a nope. Number three is fine, just a nice mix of one and two. Four is a winner, pun intended, with +4 to INT per level I would be unstoppable. The downside of this Class was the lack of free stats. The real upside was the ability to cast curses of one tier higher. With that, I could literally be the best curser alive.
Number 5 though was legendary, I could be the best at every type of magic. If its first class ability is a flat 10% less mana to all spells, its next one would be amazing. The amount of mana that could be saved, was staggering. The effect would also stack with enchanted items and other skills.

Picking between [Cursed Winner] and [Pure magic genius] was an impossible challenge, but I decided on [Pure magic genius]. Just as I was going to pick it, a new one popped up.
[6. Path of the Immortal step one - You’ve embarked on the Path of the Immortal, even taking one step on the path marks your spot in history - +4 CON per level, +4 Free stats per level - You heal one health per second]
I chose [Pure magic genius]. I won’t walk that path ever again. I could only bear it last time because I couldn't change. Being immortal is a lonely broken path. Even with that kind of power, it wasn’t worth choosing. I won’t be alone again.
Then the class choice took control and I felt the power swim within me, changing me. After a minute it stopped and I opened up my stat screen.

Just as I was seeing my glorious stat sheet Tyler calls over to me. “Hey, I’ve got some weird classes. Here let me just show you.” A list of classes pops up in my view.

[1. Student Warrior - Start your path to power as a warrior - +1 STR per level, +1 CON per level, +1 Free point per level - 10% more health]
This one was expected given his current class and was a very standard one at that.
[2. Student Spellblade - Your path is twisted by having a large talent into more than one path, though a force of will you try to merge them - +1 STR per level, +1 INT per level, +1 Free point per level - Gain the ability to learn self-buff spells from skill pages]
This was the one that I hoped Tyler would get, but why did he say he got some weird ones?
[3. Follower of the Curse King - You follow in the footsteps of the Curse King - +3 Free point per level - Gain the ability to learn curses for skill pages]
This one was probably due to the system still recognizing my previous feats. Flattering but no thank you.
[4. Wake of the Giant first step - History will be shaped by your steps - +1 STR per level, +1 DEX per level, +2 CON per level - Gain skill {First Step of The Giant}]
I don’t think this class is talking about an actual giant as they are only on floors 70-79 but more of a historical giant like the founder of a nation. This is the confirmation I need to continue on my path. I am going to make history, again, and bring Tyler along. While I was ruminating over how awesome I am Tyler calls my name. “Earth to Zain,” I look at him, “Oh, there you are. Should I take the class? The giant one.” Tyler asks while looking at his screen.
“Absolutely you should, did you see those stats and you get a skill. I got 5 stats per level and I got it for being the best magic user ever. You should remember though that once you start that train stopping is ill-advised.”
“I’ll take that under consideration,” Tyler says before a golden light consumes him.
“Ah to be young,” I say to no one.

The Dangers of a Double Life
Arthur Tracz is an IT technician, a loving husband and excellent friend. Aoife Brosnan is a courier, good daughter, and a volunteer. Gary White is a detective, ex-husband, and a father. They appear to be your average citizens, yet they harbour secrets some of which are so dark that if they were to be revealed they would end up on the top of the news on the international level. These people have no connection to each other, yet their double lives will lead to their fates interweaving. Their lives will never be the same. That is... if they survive. This story was originally supposed to be game, but due to me working on more important project and because most likely I would never have time and funds to do it. I decided to write it as a book which gives me more options in pursuing its narrative. Chapters will be released one a week, Sunday, 14 am CET.

Those Zombies Again
One day Sam wakes up in a world full of zombies and tries to survive.PSFirst of all i would not recommend this novel if you haven't read like hundred of novels already. Its pretty weird and depressing novel.This story is told almost completely from MC point of view. Third person.MC is a pretty ugly random guy with different psychological problems. He is antisocial and limited person.Lore - Since MC is limited and barely interested in people or just surroundings, you will get pretty limited descriptions on stuff, it was meant to be like that.Characters - Obviously for the same reason, you will not see much characters, usually you wont get their description or even names.Fights - I personally hate those fights in novels which take like few chapters to describe some shitty encounters. For example MC is making his "move" and then you get half chapter of description of his thoughts and the ways his face is looking, and the way like his opponent surprised and the way crowd is reacting and so on. I really hate all that shit so fights in this novel will be described not that often, only if an equal or a new opponent, and only in a strict and straightforward way, no bullshit.Now this novel is not exactly fantasy, its more like grim realistic-fantasy.But i will have to explain what i mean. Lets take rape in most novels as an example. Usually MC will be justified to rape a girl one way or another. Common example is aphrodisiac. Or the girl were trying to kill him so he had to "punish" her. Or she just happened to jump on his thing and then after rape she become his girlfriend etc, Those are examples of "fan service" in novel. So MC would be justified and readers woun't feel too uncomfortable to read something like that.So there is no "fan service" in this novel, like at all. You will have to read some stuff that will make you feel uncomfortable and you woun't like it.Common sense also means that there is barely gonna be any "random" events which MC is gonna be part of. No treasures and superpowers he founds because he is "special". He will not meet antagonists on his way.This novels world will not spin around MC in any way. He will usually sit in his deep cave and no one around will give a damn about him or even know of his existence.So this novel is not for you to have fun and enjoy reading. Not to make you feel comfortable, satisfied or happy.Its probably the opposite.There are some standards which novel usually sticks to in order to become popular. Obviously i did not meet those standards at all.
