《The Man With RPG》04 - Old Dude
Advertisement
John leaned back on his chair after searching through the internet and what he found was shocking.
“Damn, this world is wack,” said John.
He shook his head side to side not knowing how to respond to this discovery.
I should have expected this, to begin with, me being here is already ridiculous and doesn’t make sense.
“Man with capes, latex suits with alphabet, and last but not least, sexy leotard with ample of cleavage,” said John. Again he shook his head.
Having superpower in reality sounded like a dream, but in reality, John knew that with such people around there was bound to be a normal occurrence of world-ending events.
“am I safe being here?” said John. He sighed while staring at the ceiling. “I don’t really have a choice do I?”
A question that he knew the answer. To be fair, he was already dead, him being alive right now was already an utter miracle in a sense.
“Rather than complaining, might as well think about what to do with these points,” said John as he stared at his character menu.

For some reason, English wasn’t registered as a skill? Is it because I normally speak in English? Well, who cares, for now, that isn’t important. I’ve got five points and six attributes, so what should I do?
He pondered for a while before he finally decided something.
Let’s put it all into strength, mine being only three kinds of hurt my pride a bit.
He dumped all of his points into strength raising it up to eight.
I don’t feel anything.

He was expecting some kind of sign or something that would exhibit his rise in his attribute. But seeing nothing was happening, he threw that notion away.
Now I need to figure out how to level up. I definitely can’t kill monsters since they don’t exist or do they…
His eyes narrowed as his assumption might be possible. With superheroes flying around who knows what else existed in this world.
Hmm, to trigger a quest might be a hard thing to do considering it happened during a dangerous situation. I’m better off finding a way to obtain a skill since I did gain that Cheap Shot skill through busting that dude’s nuts.
John started typing on his keyboard as he searched through the net and he found something.
I better get dress.
Sneaking out from his house, he arrived at his destination. He looked upwards and saw the sign.
“Badger’s Gym, not the best kind of name but it’s the nearest,” said John.
He went inside and found a few people working out. Most of them were middle-aged men while a few already had their hair turned white. He couldn’t see any young one inside but that didn’t matter.
He walked around looking for a counter but the old school boxing gym didn’t actually have one. While he looked clueless, a man who was sweeping the floor approached John.
“You’re looking for something son?” John turned and noticed this old dude. White hair with a white beard, his dark brown complexion along with the pink Hawaiian shirt completed the overall look.
“I want to learn boxing,” said John as he didn’t mince his words.
The old man raised his eyebrows taken back a bit by John’s frankness.
“Then let’s see what you got,” said the old man.

“Your name sir?” John asked.
“You’re a polite one aren’t you, that’s a rare thing to see in here,” said the old man. “It’s Ray.”
The duo stepped inside the ring, John with the boxing gloves on and Ray wearing punching mitts.
“What you got there Ray?” one of the white hair men stopped exercising and came closer to the ring.
“Just some kid,” said Ray.
Ray ignored his customer as he paid attention to the kid across him.
“Come on, give me a jab,” Ray waved the punching mitt as John followed through.
“Faster,” said Ray.
“You need to snap it,” said Ray.
John followed through, and with his motion turning more fluid. He got what he wanted.
Skill: Jab acquired
He couldn’t help but smile. At least his theory seemed to be working.
“Stop smiling and give me a straight,” said Ray. “One-two,” Ray counted.
John followed Ray’s instruction without fail. He ignored a few mocking statements thrown by Ray as he only cared about those windows popping out.
Meanwhile, Ray was quite impressed by this sudden lad coming out of nowhere. At first, Ray wasn’t impressed seeing how amateurish John’s movement was but he had to admit that John packed quite a punch for someone at that height and with that thin body.
But as Ray spent time testing and training John a bit, he was getting more surprised by John’s progress.
This kid got quite a talent, and he’s a quick learner. Thought Ray.
The sound from John’s punching started resonating louder. Soon, the few people in the gym gathered around the ring.
John didn’t stop punching as his whole body was sweating like mad. He was in a trance feeling the euphoric sensation of success as he saw the constant leveled up of his skills.
In the end, Ray had to stop.
“Stop,” said Ray as he bent down on his knees gasping for air. For an old-timer, it was already a miracle for him to kept that boxing session for that long.
“Are we done?” John asked.
“You’ve got talent kid, come back tomorrow,” said Ray. The old-timer came down from the ring.
John got out and to his surprise, a lot of these middle-aged men kept pouring compliments on him. He only nodded to them and approached Ray.
“So how much should I pay?” John asked.
Ray looked at John in silence.
“Let’s talk about that at the end of the month, just make sure to come back tomorrow,” said Ray.
“Thank you,” said John.
“No, thank you boy,” Ray pointed at John.
John felt weird a bit by the reaction of Ray but he shrugged it off as it was already late, close to midnight.
He got out and jogged back to his house, along the way he couldn’t help but smile seeing the character window.

A cute duckling in an ugly world
A twist on an old story. A cute duckling in an ugly demon world. A cute demon that starts with nothing, fighting trough the world, the insults, laughter of others at her appearance and other demons making fun of her for being cute, for being different. But she doesn't grow into a monstrous swan. No, that's not how her story ends. ------------------------------- I didn't use any movies, books or series for inspiration the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain telling me what to write. I hope you liked it :) It’s just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn’t have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.

Killing Roar: Part 2: Mortal Mewling
Part 2 - Mortal Mewling: Perry's been living his dream in the guard, fighting spike feeders, proving himself to be a valuable member of the community, but his many concerns linger, weighing him down with more questions and regrets. The strange event within the dungeon. The rise of the prey-movement. The critical mass of spike feeders looming around the corner. Things have been going wrong for Titan City, and it feels like they're only going to get worse. Can he help save what he's worked for or will it all fall to ruin? Part 1 - Killing Roar: When Perry was blessed with a platypus beast soul, he thought his chances of joining the village guard were over. No one had every heard of a platypus. It seemed like an obvious prey soul, given it wasn't in the village's records. Only the strongest could be part of the village guard. He thought that would never get the chance to defend the village from the spike feeders, the deadly creatures jutting out with hazardous spikes haphazardly all over. Only predator beast souls were given the requisite training and allowed to join the village guard. Perry just didn't meet their criteria. He was also wrong.Soon Perry will live out his wildest dreams and more, as he scales the rankings of beast soul mastery, fights innumerable dangerous spike feeders and solves mysteries related to the origin of beast souls and spike feeders. And maybe, just maybe, he'll even get to join the city guard. Genre-wise, Mortal Mewling is a GameLit story (light on the GameLit) focused on action and adventure. The Gore tag is there more as a precaution, rather than a promise to keep producing gory words. Mortal Mewling is a bit of a slow burn in terms of start, scale and capacity of the protagonist. Book 2... has now begun! Updates Monday and Thursday
