《He Who Slays by Stevenoth: Discontinued》Chapter 1.2.5 - Amanda
Advertisement
Amanda didn't have classes today, so of course she would be stuffing herself in the capsule for four days game time.
In game time, she had just finished her first month and was looking to enter the fray! She headed to the hunting grounds, but then realized she forgot something very important. Amanda was squishy, and had no combat ability. She had spent her first month cooped up in the library reading. She was so enticed with the history of this world that she could not stop. She became good friends with the librarian and ran a couple of tasks for her. This allowed her to buy food, and provided two level ups. The library was quite useful actually. She had managed to gain an impressive twenty five INT and twenty two WIS, not to mention the identification skill.This was great! However, it did not give her any value in combat.
Essentially...Amanda was a leech. Her avatar, Vera, looked exactly as she did in real life. That was the one thing that made her life a little easier. Every noob and his brother was offering to recruit her into hunting parties, and even going so far as to try and invite her to their guilds. As they hunted, they would always attempt to show off to Amanda in various ways, and it was quite annoying.
"They're just slaughtering rabbits and foxes." Thought Amanda, as she was wondering why they would go to such lengths to try and impress her.
"Oh well, I just stand here and still get my share of experience and loot." Shrugged Amanda.
Upon finally reaching level ten, Amanda headed to the intelligence guild to receive insight on which class she should convert to.
When Amanda reached the guild, she saw a huge marble building covered with ornate decorations. There were two guards standing at the front gate, and a slew of vines crawling their way around the marble pillars. It was a grand building.

Amanda entered, and walked to the clerk attending the front desk. The man looked up and said, " Ah, Vera. We have been expecting you. Please take a seat at table thirteen and someone will be right with you."
Amanda looked around to see if she was on camera or bugged, and then did what the man had said.
Five minutes later, a rather plump man with a pig nose ambled his way over to her. He smelled...unique, and had a high pitched, raspy voice which did not fit his body at all. The man began to speak again, and Amanda blushed and started to pay attention.
"Well Vera, we have checked your progress and found two classes which would fit your current level and abilities. The first would be a mage, and the second is an enchanter." Said the man.
"I'm sure you know what a mage is, but an enchanter is special. Enchanters have magical abilities which are weaker than a mage's, but they can confer temporary and permanent abilities and stats to items by channeling magic energies into them." Squeaked the man.
Amanda was immediately sold on the idea of being an enchanter. Who would not want to make their own epic loot! Also, she could make a fortune...
"Enchanter! I want to be an enchanter!" She exclaimed loudly before the pudgy man could finish. He tried to retain his composure as he said, "Right then, here are the directions to the Enchanter's Guild. I will inform them you are on your way." Stated the man.
"Thank you sir! Also, I don't believe I ever got your name." Said Amanda.
"Darp, my name is Darp." Stated "Darp" proudly.
"Darp...Yes, a fine name...Quite fitting. Eh...Have a good day." Said Amanda, trying to stifle her laughter as she proceeded to walk out.

"You as well." Said Darp, lethargically.
Amanda hurriedly followed the map straight to the Enchanter's guild. When inside, she immediately sought out the guild master. Upon finding him, he said, "Ah, good of you to come with such haste, Vera. My name is Erratus, and I am the guild master. Now, you seem to have all the necessary qualities to become an enchanter, but you must pass the customary test. Do you accept?" Said Erratus.

"I accept!" Yelled Amanda excitedly.

After perusing the book for about an hour and dabbling on some junk she had, Amanda finally managed to enchant the helmet. Upon bringing it to Erratus, he was thoroughly impressed with the speed in which she completed the task. It usually took a lot longer to grasp the intricacies of enchanting.
"Very good, I see much promise in you." Said Erratus.
Quest Complete!

Would you like to change class to Enchanter?
"Yes!" Yelled Amanda.

Amanda was ecstatic. Just then, Erratus said, " You begin your enchanting classes tomorrow morning. You will be staying in the girl's dorm, room number two hundred twelve. Welcome aboard."
Erratus then returned to studying, and Amanda logged out to process everything.

Synapsis (Liber Telluris Book 2)
Ancient biotechnologies, psychotic satellites, and incomprehensible enemies… The weaponized strain of the genophage—the disease that ravaged the world, turned men into monsters, and ended the Last Era—is in remission, but the effects of its attack on the genes of the Nethress family linger… Tvorh, an adopted Nethress biomage with everything to prove, is tasked by his liege Dorsin to invent a permanent inoculation against infection.

So are her psychoses and power-hunger.

Because while fractious bloodlines war across Tellus’s surface, the true threat glides unrecognized through the void of space… Heading straight toward Tellus. *** Synapsis is the second book of a biopunk science-fantasy epic inspired by the altered philosophies and weird technologies of Dune, the ever-present familial machinations present in Exalted's Scarlet Empire, and the endless conflict of Warhammer 40K.
