Chapter 9 The Weirdo
Following the map, I've gotten to the forest before finding out that I had no weapon. "Craapp!! I forgot to bring a weapon" I screamed out in exclamation scaring away the animals and drawing attention from the players and NPC in the forests. (calm down calm down. You can fight them barehanded. It's going to be okay.) I thought soothingly to myself. ( Now to find some rabbits to hunt, that should be easy enough.) The sweet air, cool breeze, and the beautiful come together to make a picture-esque environment (let's do this).
30 minutes have passed
Canceling Bear Beastmen Transformation
Transforming into Gauntlet Form "Excel"
Excel : "Wait what" I exclaimed confused as my body once again transformed into a wispy like substance and transforming into a leather gauntlet with a dark blue outline with a dark as night color covering the rest of the gauntlet. Once the transformation was over I was laying on the grass not able to do anything. I simply laid there for 5 minutes before thinking to check my status screen to understand my character and if there were any changes.
Name Excel(Gauntlet Rarity unCommon Race Sentient Gauntlet Level 1 0.00 Req Level 1 Strength 3 Intelligence 5 State 2 Empty Empty Empty Empty Passive Skills Material Evolution Avatar Summon 25 min cool down Active Skills HandSmash Bond
( Guess the cool down is different, uncommon rarity, and the plus 1 to state. Wonder why I got uncommon rarity and when did I get plus 1 State ). While I was deep in thought thinking about the changes to my status screen and when I could've gotten that plus 1 state. A tall figure covered in a black cloak walk towards me unnoticed. (I must've gotten that boost in the tutorial but when did I get it). The figure Carried me up and said with clear voice resonating through the forest.

Cloaked Figure: "When I decided to find some animals to eat I did not expect to find spirit equipment lying on the floor, oh well saves me the time of doing it myself". Cloaked figure picked up me and equipped me and said murmured below his breath "quite low stats but should be able to work as an alchemy material". ( A WHAT) I thought long past surprise and simply curious but now scared for the life of me. ( If I had to die and respawn I'm not dying in a vat of crap, there's gotta be something that I can do. Wait a minute, that might actually work).
Excel : Send the Cloaked figure carrying me a Bond Request.
Are you sure
Y/N
Excel : "Yes!!!!" I exclaimed tension building up inside of me.
Request has been sent
The cloaked figure stood there stunned by the message appearing in front of him. Because of him suddenly loosening his hand I slipped out only to be caught by his other hand, I was close enough to hear him say yes an almost melancholic whisper.
NPC Draig Phiren has accepted your bond request
Draig : "So your name's excel huh," he said as a statement more than a question.
Excel: "Yeah" I answered weakly.
Draig: " I understand what you must be going through right now so I'll make this short if you listen to my story and you do a few small favors I will release you. By the way, if you try to escape you will regret it" He said in a bone chilling voice causing me to strain my ears to hear him.
Excel: " Yes " I answered just as weakly as before.
Good, he said walking the opposite direction from whence he came. Offering no words to be shared during the 15 min walk. Eventually, I see what must be a house on the horizon. By the time we get there, I could transform into my avatar but I'm not willing to test his patience. Call me a coward but I'm attached to my Health Points thank you. Viewing it in its full light the house looked quite shabby on the outside but inside it had marbled floors swords, shields, wands, and even some jewelry was on the walls. No doubt in my mind all of that stuff is real I could feel an aura of bloodlust from the swords, an aura of magic danced off the wands, and the jewelry had lights dancing around the room even though they were hit by barely any light. By the time he was situated he was sitting on a lavished.

Draig: You may transform now.
Alex: Avatar summon. My body turned once again into a wispy form it slowly enlarges into a big sphere of gas and then reformed into my avatar from. After my transformation, I sat on the chair in front of him.
Draig " Before We begin sign this contract that makes sure if this information ever got out you will be killed PERMANENTLY " he said presenting me with a contract and pen that came from god knows where.
Draig Phiren has given you a contract of secrecy to begin a quest
Success of this: will allow you to begin a quest chain
Failure of this: Will be deletion of your character
Y/Y
Excel: ( What kind of bullshit is this ) I fumed pressing Yes.

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *
