《The King of Avarice》Chapter 5 : PWN3r420
Advertisement
"I'mmmmmm alive!!" I yell when I appear on a street.
Well, getting weird looks from everyone sucks, but I thought it was a perfect thing to say.
Alright so let's go explore first off.
"*whisper* haha look at that noob, walking around like a dope. Did you hear what he said?" I heard from a random guy while walking away from the spawning point.
So, of course, I yell back. "Hey you're a noob too, dumbass; at least I'm not some dolt like you!"
"What did you call me?" He yells back.
He looks to be one of those “hero” characters who made himself look better than average, I don't see a point in doing this.
"I called you a dumbass and a dolt, bitch, what you going to do about it?" I continue to yell back!.
"Ok, you wanna go bro!" He says this as he approaches, putting up his fists as he goes.
You have been requested to duel with PWn3r420. In a duel you cannot kill your opponent and neither side will be punished by law of the city, but watch your back. Your opponent may have friends. If you win you get 1/10 of the Rin on your opponent and 1 duel coin. For every duel coin, you earn will increase your rank. Right now you are Unranked with [0] wins.
Accept|Decline
"Fine I'll go, but once I beat your pansy ass don't go crawling to mamma!" I put my fists up as well after clicking accept.
And you may think this is the stupid or dumb thing to do, thinking the real enemies are the silent ones, and you would be right. He has friends and others are watching, two are in the shadows like sharks, and three others are already moving around like vultures. If I beat this guy, it shows I am stronger, and the vultures will back off. I may still be attacked by the Sharks, but my chances of 2 v 1 or 1 v 1 is better than a 3-5 v 1 situation.

"Alright let's see if you can back up what you got, you little punk!" I say, keeping an arm's reach away from him. I need to add, what's with his name pwn3r420, is he a little kid? I thought this game was R-18?
He throws a punch and I move out of the way. It’s so weak and easy to dodge it's kinda sad, that's how bad it is. I notice this because I have been dealing with troublemakers in my casino for the last 10 years.
I then throw a punch, hitting his gut and knocking him down.
-50 hp Crit
(Normally would be 30; base attack is 5 and strength adds a multiplier according to its value)
Which takes him down to half health surprisingly. Seems he only has 100hp, and the surprising part isn't I did that much damage, it's that he isn't knocked out. Usually, my punch takes anyone down! I learned from an old friend awhile back “Always win with one punch, and if not 1 then keep fucking hitting.”
He seems to be stumbling, so I go in again, connecting with his jaw this time.
-49 hp Crit
Two crits in one fight, not bad. This realism is great too, it feels like I'm actually fighting, the adrenaline also seems real but sadly.
Congratulations Nicholas Flamel you have beat PWn3r420 in a duel, you gain 2 gold and 1 duel coin. This places you in 10,124th place with [1] Win.
After I won, the vultures started to focus on pwn and his friends started to focus on me, lastly one shark left but there was still one hanging around, I didn't want to do this but…
"You all saw me beat pwn, but does anyone else challenge me? If not, I shall leave and continue on with my game."

One of the sharks approached, although I was hoped he wouldn't get too close.
"I don't want to fight you, I would like to invite you to my guild. The game has only been going for a few hours now, but we are an old group, would you like to join the [White Watchers]"
"Hahaha, I’m already being recruited..? Listen pal: I would like to, but I'm starting something bigger than a guild. If you want, you can join me, though."
"Hmm, that's interesting. We will watch you Nichols but sadly I am loyal. Have a good day."
That was a new experience, okay, then let's move on. "So anyone else has something to say?"
"No? good." By the time I left, There was already a crowd of 50-or-so people.
"Alright, let's go find a box and the center," I mutter as I walk off.

The Badger Dungeon
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Dungeons. Everyone's heard of them. Sprawling maze-like places where you can find special objects that can't be found anywhere else in the world, train to become a great warrior or wizard, and slay dozens of monsters. Drops! Loot! Glory! What more could you want? Dungeons are places of danger and adventure, full of thrills and maybe even romance, where people enter as your normal and everyday person but leave as a hero. Even a child knows what a dungeon is! A dungeon is controlled and ruled over by its Dungeon Core, a mana crystal that's gained sentience, and with it a mind just as twisted as the home that it makes for itself. Dungeon Cores all have very simple wants and needs: to expand and to devour, and to that end, they'll do absolutely everything and anything within their power. Everyone knows that. Sometimes, though? Sometimes the Dungeon Core doesn't know that. Sometimes they wake up all alone, confused and with no clue what they should do, and find themselves quickly becoming the home to a family of badgers and other creatures. The Dungeon Core can be left struggling to figure out their role in the world and how exactly they're supposed to achieve it. They're really doing their best, and you shouldn't judge them for it! The badger thing was a complete mistake but there's just no way they can turn back and fix it so they're just trying to make do, okay?! What would you do in their situation?! Cover art was made with pixel assets from Szadi art and 0x72.

Dungeon of the Dead [hiatus]
The dungeons in this realm usually do not develop truely sentient personalities until much later on in their life. As such they are unable to generate the power the Dungeon God needs to function. Plus when they do develop their personalities, they are usually sociopathic killing machines because...well...their dungeons. Because of this the Dungeon God isn't doing so hot, and in a latch ditch attempt to preserve his Godhood he creates one final dungeon that will have a personality immediately. Unfortunately this particular dungeons seems to be just a little.....incredibly stupid. Due to the dungeon not paying attention during its earliest moments it ends up being a dungeon of the undead. This dungeon is the Dungeons Gods last chance and if it fails he will be stripped of his power by the other deitys and his creations will be exterminated. As the sentient races throughout the land despise undead and seek to destroy them where possible, this could well mean the extinction of the dungeon race...

The fallen (?) hero and Aži Dahāka's soul fragment
I have to apologize.A certain real life problem that I thought I got rid of has caught up to me once again.I tried to continue writing, but my mind was not in the right track to do so and thus, as some people had said, the quality of the latest 2 chapters had turned from the usual "bad" to "worst". So, I reluctantly have to say that I will be away until I can sort things out.I can't say when, but I do intend to return to writing. I might lurk around to read other people's works though. I will be turning my attention to stories with "tragedy" and "despair". The five of us were summoned to this world from our clubroom two years ago to be made as heroes.Shouldn't forceful summoning like that be counted as kidnapping?Well, we chose to go with the heroes route.After harsh training and battles, not to mention all the killings, we finally defeated the demon lord.However, all those achievements literally became nothing, it wasn't just forgotten, it was erased to be totally nothing as even the written records were somehow being disposed of. I was too naive. Who would have thought that the side we have been fighting alongside with, the side we were fighting for, was the one to bring our demise?After I had to see everyone else turn into nothingness, somehow... I alone survived. Note: I will attempt to fix the grammar problem with the help of lieutenant colonel fletterman. This may delay the release of future chapter. Chapter 1 is fixed. Chapter 2 is fixed.
