《Nihil》Chapter 2: To the Town
Advertisement
Huh, Champion of Umbra is repeated three times? "Hey girl" I move my gaze back to the one sharing my carriage.
"W-what is it?" She fidgets slightly, shrinking her body down and stares at her fingers. She has a blush forming on her cheeks showing even more through her brown hair.
"How do I learn about things on this status screen?" I have no idea about this Champion of Umbra class, title, and skill it would be better to learn about it.
"Er, well you don't know what they are?"
"Yes of course, if I knew what they were why would I ask how to learn about them? I stare at her with an obvious look on my face.
"Well uh if you think about the name it probably will tell you?" She mutters while interlocking her fingers.
"Uhuh okay" I stop looking at her as she loosens her tense body.
I decide to follow her "help" as I think about Champion of Umbra as a class.
Champion of Umbra(Class) As the champion chosen by the God Umbra you are able to use any skill regardless of class.
Oh! I see, so I have no class restrictions when it comes to skills. That will be very good, I do not have to worry about selecting a class. Then what does the title do for me? Actually I might as well see what the other two titles do as well.
Champion of Umbra(Title) You are the champion of Umbra, he watches everything you do and influences you. Others will not be able to see your status. Friend of Umbra(Title) You are someone who Umbra sees as a friend, being the friend of a god comes with many benefits. The One Who Tried(Title) You attempted to save a group that was destined to die, you did not succeed but at least you tried.

... The One Who Tried? Are you serious? I have to live with that stuck on me? Damnit I shouldn't have even tried to help those bastards they gave me this stupid title, they better have suffered before they died to that bastard wolf. Well, there is just the skill left.
Champion of Umbra(Skill)
Level: 1 As the Champion of Umbra you have no need for those dumb levels, instead all exp you get will be converted into stats with each stat taking turns in order of: Str, Agi, Vit, Int, Wis and Luck. The amount you get from the exp will be 10% of the exp you get.You will have the same % chance of obtaining a skill from the defeated enemy. The % will change based on the level of the Champion of Umbra Skill.
Okay, I still don't know whether that is a good thing or not but the absorb skill part sounds really nice. Well... I might as well take this carriage all the way to that town the oji-san was talking about, I can learn some more about this world I was thrown into, I wonder how the food in this world tastes? Wait there are dragons here aren't there? Big fire breathing ones or maybe something like a phoenix covered in flames!
Pointless thoughts filled his mind as his appearance attracts glances from the girl. The carriage tottered along the stone road following a direction unseen to the naked eye.
After 5 hours of constant rocking due to the horrible roads and rickety carriage the sky darkens turning the skies gray. The oji-san decided it was a good time to stop and rest for the night as he called to the passengers and pulled the reins, guiding the carriage off the road into a semi-clearing in the sea of trees. The oji-san pulled apart the drapes stepping into the carriage to fetch water and food for the horses that worked hard to pull the carriage. He stumbled into a very awkward mood that rested inside the carriage.

The girl was constantly on edge as she took sneaky glances at the white haired boy, she seemed to want conversation but she constantly stopped herself before a single word could leave her mouth. The boy on the other hand was staring off into oblivion completely oblivious to the girls glances.
"Ahem" The man cleared his throat trying to break up the weird atmosphere, he gained the attention of both people who were now looking his way.
"I pulled the carriage over into a clearing, it is getting dark fast and to continue riding the carriage would be unsafe. Ah you white hair can you pass that bag over here?"
"Instead of calling me white hair you can just call me Niv it would be easier this way." I said as I reached for the bag, I was starting to get annoyed about being called white hair.
"Oh, sorry about that, you can just keep calling me Oji-san this girl here on the other hand is my daughter, her name is Sophie."
"Nice to meet the both of you and once again thank you for the lift" I said with gratitude as I handed the bag over to him.
"No problem." He grabbed a container filled with water as he slung the bag over his shoulder carrying both out of the carriage. It seems he was going to feed the horses and my suspicions soon were proved right as sounds of eating too loud to be human sounded from outside. I grabbed my knees and stood up from my resting place giving my sore body a few shakes as I sauntered to the opening of the carriage pulling open the fabric and stepping onto dirt ground.
Off to the side two horses were eating out of a single container with the Oji-san watching and petting them. Looking around there was only enough space for around 20 carriages to fit with trees bordering the opening. The sky was beginning to darken. Soon the horses finished eating as the Oji-san left their side, he pulled some wood out of the carriage and had the makings of a fire. He pulled out a primitive flint and steel created several sparks that lit up twigs and small pieces of wood. Eventually they had a fire going and soon after that the Oji-san pulled out a couple food items and created something resembling a stew.
They spent the next moments in silence as the 3 of them sat around a fire eating stew out of wooden bowls, there was not a single word said the whole time they were eating. After they all finished eating the girl went back into the carriage to sleep whilst the Oji-san and I continued to sit around the fire.
"What were you doing in the forest all by yourself?"
"I was part of a group of 5, we got separated. Eventually I encountered them dead with a big black wolf standing over their bodies." I decided to make something up, it was suspicious that I was out here alone without any way of going back to the town.
"Oh, sorry about that it must have been awful"
"It is okay, we knew the risks."
Silence continued on until the Oji-san decided to get up and enter the carriage to sleep. I put out the fire and joyed them in the carriage. I sat with my back against the wall of the carriage and fell asleep soon after. Today was a nice day.

Legends of The Wesh: Lochley
The Universe is held together by something. It is an undisputable truth but nobody knows what that something is. People claim that it is connected by The Path of Legends, where Gods traversed trying to find the meaning of their own existence. Others claim that the universe is a Tree, connecting worlds with its extending branches and giving life-bearing fruits to its inhabitants. Several even claimed that the Universe is just a colony of ants, that this universe and the worlds in it are just as insignificant as insects. In one of the Worlds in it, the arrival of someone signaled great changes. Gods will die, Trees will Rot, Insects will burn. Those at the top had fallen and they will upend the worlds trying to claim what was theirs. Those at the bottom have had enough of scraps and they yearned to devour the fruits of the worlds. Those that were innocent and caught in between had no choice but to persist, lest they get erased by the surging tides. Nobody knows where will they end, but everybody knew where they started. They will not be judged, they will not be rebuked, they will not be curbed, they will not be vanquished. The universe is their canvas and it’s time — time to paint their truths upon it. Azrael was born as a prince in the warring world of Ost. Inheriting the title but not its privileges and oppressed by his siblings in every step of his life, he had no choice but to be subservient to their whims until circumstances spiraled him to the abyss, to a new world, and to more agreeable companions. But is he truly free from the past or will it continue to hound him to his new life? Elira had one wish… to be known more than as an offspring of the Great Phasol Family. Talented, hardworking, and stubborn, she struggled to break free from the influence of her family. Everything had been going well in her life but is she strong enough to resist the upheaval and truths of the world? William grew up in an orphanage with nothing to his name. Regaled by various tales of fantasy and greatness by his caretakers, he reached adulthood with the goal of having a legend of his own. Will he make his mark on the world or be forgotten like an ant; crushed by the boot of an unsuspecting traveler. The world of Lochley has been at peace for centuries and its undercurrents are growing restless from waiting… waiting for that spark of opportunity to ignite and swallow the world whole. Some will cause it, some will resist it, and some be drowned by it. Which one will you be?
