《Battlefield NYC (LitRPG Apocalypse)》Chapter 33: Discussion and Stat Reflections
Advertisement
Lance felt like a weight had suddenly been lifted off his shoulders as he raised his hand and pointed at Jacob, Grace and Sophie with a smile on his face.
"Good job, guys," he said as all three of them smiled back at him in response. A wave of relief washed over his mind as the adrenaline rush finally faded and left behind just that: peace. It wasn't as if they had won anything or found any sort of treasure lying around here in New York; far from it. Still, they'd survived the fight, and Lance had gained a level.
"It wasn't just us," Sophie said, her smile fading. "What was that effect at the end?"
Grace shrugged before she looked away from the remains of the monster—the fire-covered ice ball combined with the mysterious effects had smashed it into a hundred pieces—and into the distance again while Sophie still stared at it intently. After a moment, the blonde girl seemed to accept what had happened though, since she turned away from Lance's group with a nod to herself before moving forward towards another building.
Lance watched her go for a second before following after her himself. He wanted to know more about this mysterious ability—especially whether it could be used on people like he did against monsters--but there wasn't anything he could do about it right now.
"[Assess] doesn't work on it," Jacob said after a moment. "I'm pretty sure my [Assess] skill is decently high level, but I'm returning a blank."
Lance tried his own skill.
[???-level ???]
Okay, that was a dead end. Could he improve Assess?
No, upgrading his attacking abilities was his top priority. He'd seen just now how helpless he was against a monster he couldn't [Mind Attack].

Alright. Last time, boosting Magic had helped increase his Special Abilities menu, but he still didn't know how strong his own abilities were.
Could his power be boosted like that? He hadn't noticed much of a change from boosting his Magic stat, though maybe he just hadn't noticed.
There was more work to be done.

The Helena Chronicles
Espers are really no different than humans; they look like any normal human and in general behave like any normal human. However, there are a few key differences. The max life expectancy of espers ranges from forty-five to fifty. They naturally have a knack for mathematics and are extremely intelligent in general, this is because their abilities rely on the subconscious and conscious calculations. They also have a mysterious energy source they call Focus that is generated naturally by all espers. The continent of Elestveeve is populated by three major factions, each a governing force. On the west of the continent, there is the Noble Houses that subscribe to the Deity Faith. The Houses ruling with the Deity Faith as council since the religion's founding four-hundred years previous. Controlling most of the northeast is WITCH, an organization ruled by powerful espers; claiming the mysterious Genesis as their capital, they are a whispered myth among much of the continent's less technically advanced residents. In the southeast you have Tech City, a towering monolith of a capital with four sky layers and metropolis' leveled deep underground; it is a city brimming with technical advancement and cyber integration. Each faction contends with one another for their evolutionary ideology, by devout religious worship to receive miraculous gifts, unique genetic lineage to obtain ESP, and technological integration to become something more than human. Helena, a young genius and esper, awakes in a dark room with only fuzzy memories and the company of seven other children. She must determine how she got there and how to get back to where she came from. Warning: Due to time constraints, I don't have the time to keep up on my three stories; therefore, Helena will need to go in a stasis chamber until I can find more time to write between work and life. I love my first girl so much! however, it seems she is the least popular among the fans (the poor girl T_T). This world is much bigger than my other two novels and I'm not giving up on it, but simply having to put her on ice.

8 261Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. Book 1 is complete. Book 2 is complete and coming out M-W-F. The complete book 2 is available on Patreon
