《The Tales of Hammerfall》Chapter 3 -- Class
Advertisement
He could hear voices all around him and feel the physical protest from his injured body after the goblin attack. Raph wearily opened his eyes to see a huddle of people around him, the sun was already up in the sky and into the morning. He sat up and looked at the faces that were around him, he recognised Hamish as he helped him up.
“Hey kid, how ya feelin’?” Hamish asked.
“ugghhh” Raph groaned as he sat up, he looked around wearily and noticed the goblins corpse over to the side of him. As he was staring at the corpse of the goblin and trying to recall the events of the previous night Hamish interrupted.
“Here kid, you’re going to need this.” Hamish said as he passed Raph what looked to be a small vial containing a murky greenish liquid, which to Raph seemed anything but appetizing.
Raph took the vial of green stuff from Hamish and looked at it, confused.
“Drink it kid, you took a couple of big hits from that little bastard.” Hamish practically forced the vial up to Raphs mouth and tipped his head back.
“Hpplpll” Raph spluttered somewhat as he ingested the green stuff, it had a medicinal taste that was both immensely unpleasant and sweet.
“There you go kid, you’ll be right in no time.” Hamish slapped Raph on the back as he stood up and pulled Raph with him. Hamish basically carried Raph back through the fields and into the small settlement outside the city, he brought Raph to a small house that he owned and sat him down at a small dining table.
“Thanks Hamish,” said Raph as he sat down at the table. “I thought I was done for back there.”
“First time eh kid?” Hamish looked at Raph inquisitively.
“First time?” Raph said, confused.
“Monsters. That was your first one, wasn’t it?”

“Uhhh. yeah, I guess it was.”
“Well you should probably check your screens kid.” Hamish said
Raph looked over to Hamish in shock, it had only just occurred to him that he wasn't the only person to have the status screens, it seems like everyone else has them too.
“Huh. I guess I should, thanks Hamish.” Raph replied absentmindedly.

“Well this is interesting.” Raph said to himself. “Hey Hamish”
“Yeah kid?” Hamish replied.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure thing”
“Umm what class are you?” Raph asked. To which Haminsh turned sharply to look at him, his look was intense.
“I know you’re new to this kid, but be wary of who ya ask questions like that too. Some people don’t take kindly to intrusive questions.” Hamish said sternly and then replied straight after. “But seeing as I know you’re a good kid, I'm a Brawler Lv.72.”
“Oh, yeah I guess that makes sense, thank you Hamish” Raph added quickly. “I really appreciate you telling me that.”
Hamish continued “Generally kid, the classes you get are based on what you have done before you get the choice and there will usually be some standard ones thrown in there as well. The common ones are stuff like; Worker, Farmer, and even Warrior. If you are lucky you can get something more specific like a Fighter or a Heavy Warrior. So if you got anything interesting like that you should probably take it.”

“So kid. What did ya get?” Hamish asked, breaking Raph out of the trance he was in looking at his screens.
“Didn’t you just say you should ask people that?” Raph retorted.
“Well usually yeh, however the look on ya face is makin me curious. And don’t forget, I told you mine.” Hamish said with a sly grin.
“I got something called a Breaker,” Raph said.
“Hmmm, not heard o that one before,” Hamish replied curiously. ”Must be a good’un. You know kid, if ya want to make some money now ya got a combat class, ya can check out the Guild in the city.”
“The Guild?” Asked Raph, confused.
“The Adventurers Guild kid, it's just off the town square” Hamish added.
“Are you an adventurer Hamish?”
“I was. A long time ago I was a bronze rank adventurer but I'm retired now, kid.”
“Bronze rank?” Raph asked.
“The guild measures strength in ranks; you start at Iron, then at Lv.50 you go to Bronze, at 100 Silver, and 200+ is Gold.”
“Is there anything higher than Gold rank?”
“I think so, never seen one myself though.” Hamish replied as he pulled out the hammer that Raph used to kill the goblin the night before and plonked it on the table. “You should take this with ya if you plan on going to the guild.”
“Ummm, I don’t know Hamish.” Raph looked at the hammer on the table, feeling slightly queasy as he remembered the goblins head exploding when the hammer hit it.
“Just take it, better safe than sorry.” Hamish pushed it in front of Raph.
“Alright thanks Hamish, anyway I should head back, I think I need to get some sleep.” Raph said as he stood up and grabbed the hammer of the table. “Thanks for everything.”
“See ya round kid.” Hamish said as he waved Raph out the door.
Raph left Hamish’s house and managed to find his way to his room in a few minutes, once he was inside he laid down on his bed, the events of the day got to him and he quickly fell asleep.

Incursions
This blurb concerns Incursions book 1: Incarceration. If you could buy superhuman abilities, but they might kill you—or worse—would you do it? Ten years ago, in a world not so different from our own, people with powerful abilities appeared. The new powers were dangerous, dangerous to acquire—dangerous to have—dangerous to wield. World governments raced to find and eradicate the abilities and those who possess them while using the media to rule by fear. Whereas corporations sought to exploit the abilities for profit. Raz Owens was living the dream - a rising star at a job he enjoys, a girlfriend he loves, but it all comes crashing down when Raz disregards his late father's advice. He is pulled into a chaotic underworld of clandestine labs, shadow organizations, and super-powered criminals. Used as a human test subject in a place where few survive the day, he must last long enough to escape. His only advantage? A power that seems nearly useless—a heads-up display. Contains: monsters, violence, death, dismemberment, gamelit, superpowers, superpower consequences, good guys, bad guys, good guys who might be bad guys, bad guys who think they are good guys, good guys that might go bad, bad guys that might turn good, guns for hire, competence, incompetence, continence, incontinence, conspiracies, and some of what I just said wasn't true. This story is written in third person limited POV. That means you can expect to know many of the thoughts and inner dialog of one character, and only see the actions of other characters. This POV does include scenes without the main character, and thus the reader can and will know things the main character does not. Further, this means characters act on what they know, which is almost always less than the reader knows. Something else to know. These books do not hold your hand. If you're reading it and thinking "Gosh, why aren't 'they' doing some 'obvious' thing." Bad news. You probably missed something that explains exactly that. If you're seeking a light read that doesn't ask much of you as the reader, you're invited and very welcome to come on in, but this might not be the story for you.
