《Vermin Lore》Clarifications and Justifications
Advertisement
Title :
My mum was being bossy one night and made me clean the bathroom. It was a very dirty but fortunate event. I had some insights to what I can write when I saw five cockroaches floating in the sink. (ewwww) lol
Synopsis:
I wanted my stuff to be original despite many elements I've gathered by reading most of the best rated here in RoyalRoadl So I didn't use the point of view of humans. I want to explore different concepts and came up with "The System"
It is basically the collective powers of the majority of Celestials, an artificial God. It was made so that the endless and pointless wars of the universe be stopped, or better yet, just be balanced. Eden (Earth's real name) is dying. Because of Deity politics (yes bitches, they have those as well, haha), the humans are blamed though we were just pawns for their games. Well, who can blame them as the humans with more power and influence don't help to make the world a better place.
(I will include this in the stories but that would be in chapters 100-200, I'm just giving ya a taste. wink)
I will not specify other information as not to spoil you guys of the plot twists and all that shit. this story is also about clashes of multiple points of view. About morality. About ambition. About what it means to be human. And most of all, about fuckloads of fighting scenes. hehe, hell yeah.
Narration:
It often will coincide with the MC's thoughts. And I have no intention of changing that because that is my style of writing. Crude, assertive, with inappropriate language. I'm trying to convey my thoughts the only way I know how. If that's not your cup of tea, them my bad. It will not be my fault if the readers are a bloody good shoes and bitch about it. It was written in the tags that my work will contain profanity. Expect all of my incoming chapters to be in that same style.

Deal with it (Damn it how do you put the emoticon with the sunglasses is it B) ? hahahaha)
AGAIN. this is just my opinion and should you criticize, please do so! to make my fiction more awesome, you readers and your criticisms are much needed hahaha please don't be offended in this highly triggered internet generation.
MC characteristics:
IT DEPENDS on who's point of view is active. I will not explain here his past, background, his personality, his family. Cuz it will spoil the story. I'll add it later on so please exercise patience, they will be mentioned. Don't Judge him yet after reading the Prologue. Guuuuuuuuys, the prologue is till chapter 10 hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
1-10 (the escape, planning and building anew) longest fucking prologue ever. the flow here is quite slow but will pick the pace up after chapter 10.
10-20 (the training, the deaths, the whatever comes to the author's mind)
20+ travelling
50+ the wars
100+ God Wars
Grammar and all other shit:
I'm not done editing! hahaha pls give me a leeway here T-T
STATS:
The stats are not intangible! they go up and down based on the person and his experiences.
children all have 1 to all stats which increases the more they mature. when they got sick, the vitality and endurance stats will decrease. This is also true when a dude gets amputated (-dex/ctrl -Atk speed or movement speed etc). When they got old, the stats decrease till 1 and then they die.
Bast's initial stats:
Str. 4 (+3+10) End. 4 (+3+5+10) Vit. 3 (+3+1-1+10) Def: 1 (+3+10) Agi. 7 (+3+1+10) Ctrl. 12 (+3+0.5+10) Int. 19 (+3+0.5+10) Wis. 5 (+3+0.5+10)
As you can see, his stats are so-so. To be blunt, he has high int cuz he's smart. it can't be more obvious than that. His stats are the normal stats of an athletic 15 y/o male.
You can see the additionals, right? That's due to his THREE titles. He killed a level 200 boss for hell's sake. He deserved those titles. You can see the [E] and [UE] equip and unequipped options. It means that even if unequipped, he will still receive the [UE] effects. if [E], he'll receive both.

Reckless Pioneer
[UE] +3 all stats -5 int wis -1 vit lck
[E] +0.001 to all regen
Slayer
[UE] +10 all stats
[E] +20% all stats and dmg +.05 all regen +resistance against divine influence
Idiot Opportunist
[UE] +5 int wis +2 lck -1 vit
[E] +50% drops +10% lck
Get it? He's not that OP at the start. He was just fucking lucky (that idiot, lol)
the other stats will have some increase or decrease based on the situation. For example, if Bast survives a death experience, his LUCK stat will be at its maximum points. but it can decrease if he finds himself in shitty situations and the points may stay that way for a while. This is also true for other stat. If He's Poisoned, his Ctrl, Agi, End and Str may decrease too. Titles are rare and must be earned, even Gods have at most 15 titles.
Vitality (1:10 hp) + (Ave. of Str.+End.+Def) divided by 3
ex.
Vit= 4 (40 hp) Str= 6 End= 4 Def= 2
6+4+2= 12
[1st ave.]12/3= 4
[ave. of vit and 1st ave.] (4+4)/2 = 4
Total : 40 HP
Int.= 19 (190 IQ) but can be capped
putting points in Intelligence gets difficult per cap
first Int. cap: 10 (1:1 point)
10 (100 IQ, 1:1 point) 15 (150 IQ, 1:5 points) 20 (200 IQ approaching Max Cap 1:10 points)
so here, you can see that the Mc is quite intelligent but acts stupid because his worldly views are shattered, unexplainable things are happening and only due to the narrator (yours truly) that he is still sane and functioning. lmao
MP: average of Wis. + Int
Stamina:
(Ave. of Str+Vit) added to Endurance, then get the ave of that as well so divided by 2
(((str+vit)/2) + End)
Regeneration:
HP:
initial: (holds true for all humans) 0.0001 per second
in short, a normal human can regenerate 8.64 Health points (per 24 hours) in a day.
regen can increase per 2 Vit. by 0.0001
regen can also increase per .5 End hp by 0.0001
MP:
initial: (holds true for all humans) 0.0001 per second
STM:
initial: (holds true for all humans) 0.0001 per second
same with mp and stm., Bast has many additional regenerations from skills and titles.
Note* when computing for Bast's regen of stats, please also include his title and passives from his skills. don't just compute it based on what is there. I haven't put enough information to all his skills did i?
The MC is not OP. He doesn't have any offensive one hit kill skills. His Weapon is the one that's OP. The weapon is from a level 200 monster. the only way he's able to wield it is because he created it. All his skills are escape skills that need a fuckload of mana or stamina. His skill sets are not meant for him. he can't use one of his legendary skill set that is meant for a female with a good voice. And from some of his legendary skill sets, he can only use 1 of each.
What makes Bast Monstrous is that he can teleport and swing his glaive so fast, you'll be riddled with poison, corrosion, and curses in a blink of an eye. His teleport skill consumes mana based on the distance. so he can only use them a couple of times, maybe only 3x a day. yep. the blink spell has no cooldown. that's why it's a legendary tier.
there maybe more that I haven't mentioned or just forgotten. feel free to comment them on the comment section so that i can justify it
Good day!

8 206Issekai Mockery
The story begins with Alvaro Brad, a genius young man in his teens. Alvaro excels at every subject of his school, chemistry, physics, mathematics and programming are some subjects that he enjoys the most. That seems to be the first impression that people have about him though. Alvaro has another side to him, he is addicted to gambling. Since nothing seems to challenge him anymore, he has taken upon himself to beat luck itself. The only moment he feels any kind of joy is when he takes risks and gambling has given him exactly that. After skipping class to gamble yet again, he sees something on the way to the club. After looking closer he finds a small coin on the ground and as soon as he picks it up he is transported to another world. -Issekai Mockery is exactly as the title suggests, a satire fiction novel making fun of the Issekai genre in subtle and not so subtle ways with the sole purpose of putting a smile on the readers' faces, the novel will feature a lot of Issekai and mmorpg jokes. Don't forget to comment and rate the fiction as I want to listen to some feedback.

Book 4: The Unravelling World Synopsis: Time is not on Gaius' side. Everyday life, already disturbed by the flames of mortal war, falls apart entirely as beings of legend once again appear on Orb. Forced to a foreign land to treat his injuries, the boy must confront the outcomes of his actions, directly and indirectly. But the tide is rising. Countless enemies are throwing themselves against the nations of Orb, cleaving a path of blood wherever they go. Gaius has to hurry...or drown with the rest. Book 5: World's End, Divines' Rondo Synopsis: The great gods of Orb have staked their claim on the world itself, killing all in their way. Each of the Cardinal Continents are fighting their own battles and making their own peace, but none are aware of the growing threat from the Wildlands, where a self-exiled legend continues to gather strength. Meanwhile, a new threat stalks the whole of Orb, killing whatever remains of the Constellation Heroes. Against such a chaotic backdrop, a boy continues to protect a semblance of daily life for his loved ones, but will he be successful when the curtains finally open? Book 6: The Frenzied Tide Synopsis: A sword hangs above the Eastern Territories. The Human God, progenitor of all life, the direct cause of the beastfolk genocide, has made his will known to the rulers of the East — make peace with the God of Water, or be destroyed in three months. Gaius, who has left the battlefield to return home, is once again called to fight, to support a do-or-die offensive upon their foe's territory. But in the background, the threads of destiny are beginning to come together. Plots set in motion long ago are coming to fruition... Book 7: Limina of Ruin Synopsis: The chalice has broken. The East is beset with turmoil, as factions turn on each other. The Great Divide, however, brims with a setting radiance, ensuring a final, transient peace. And in the midst of it all, one young boy follows the fettered winds and the unshackled waters, heading to a new land to uphold a promise. For him, the days of fighting will be a distant memory before long...and a daily event in the years to come. Uncovering ancient memories, putting to rest regrets, enjoying the last of a peaceful life...the people of the Five Lands will live to their fullest. Yet, this is but the calm before the storm. Book 8: Power Talks Synopsis: Fate. A curious word to most...and a frightening word to Gaius. Alongside the rulers of the North, Gaius witnesses frightening truths, proof of an inevitable future. Spurred by a myriad chilling revelations and urged by a god's killer, the Mortal Light Dynasty gathers both mortal rulers and divine sovereigns, covering past conflicts with a offer of cooperation of an unprecedented scale. However, can this unity, first of its kind, stand up to time, fate and mortal nature? Or will it burn, along with the Five Lands? Book 9: Homeland Song Synopsis: Gazing out at the Orb of old, Gaius ponders his destiny and the great stakes with it. Time and again, he has led a life of choices, making one after another for the sake of those he cares about. His latest choice, however, carries implications of an immeasurable scale. Charged with the protection of the future, all that awaits him is an eternal solitude... On the other side of the false world, a single star shines, one whose light is meant to protect. Gemini, who has long found a homeland in the form of Ark City, has spent years defending it with friends and family alike. However, an inexorable end is approaching. The day the Great Divide falls looms ever closer. At the crossroads of destiny, when the chains of fate bind him fully, what will the last Constellation choose? And what will his choice mean for the rest of the Five Lands? Book 10: Immortal Indignant Synopsis: As the Five Lands reel from an unexpected revelation, Gaius continues his struggle to accept his immortal destiny of eternal vigilance. Mortal fetters continue to tie him down, with the prospect of breaking them a heart-rending prospect. There is little light for him in the darkness; his emotions seemingly a poisoned apple. For him, the days ahead are one of balancing his emotions; his immortal destiny is antithetical to the aspects that make one mortal. However, he isn't the only immortal indignant at the current state of affairs. Behind the scenes, huge powers push and pull, tussling in an insane game of wrestling sanity. The Five Lands and the great gods prepare in the background, awaiting their time to strike... Book 11: Cause Convergent Synopsis: As Orb reels from an unexpected turn of events, the crumbling of the Great Divide speeds up. With time now at a premium, Gaius travels the world, addressing a particular personage's last will, while ensuring that he leaves no regrets behind. Revisiting the Five Lands with his beloved one last time, he casts his eyes to a new future, a world full of a peace forged by collective resistance. Far away from Gaius, at the very borders of the Southern Continent, soldiers train day and night, awaiting the day the rift between worlds crumble. But the battlefield there isn't just between the Five Lands and the Wildlands... Book 12: Boundary Belligerent Synopsis: The rift between worlds crumble. The moon, the sun and the sky shatter, revealing the vast expanse beyond. The cold light of the stars gaze down upon Orb, illuminating a bloody battlefield at World's End, where gods and mortals wrestle. Immortal troops charge the Five Lands, over and over again, only to be repelled by vast engines of war. For many, the moment of destiny has arrived. The Third Extermination has begun. However, Gaius gazes not at the present, but at the future beyond. What does he see there? And what will he do? Book 13: Destiny Divergent Synopsis: Bells ring, and destiny veers. Mortal miracles, having pierced a divine destiny, now turn their light of annihilation upon the legendary land of dangers and dark myth. A single being who should have slept forever reawakens, carrying out a inherited duty to protect. Under a dome of absolute law, the hulks that darken the skies are grounded, forcing the Five Lands to move ahead on foot. Hidden differences erupt, comrades turn upon comrades, and the alliance begins to crumble. What should have been a happy ending begins to fall apart. Watching from high above, the Abyss Sovereign laments his weakness, cursing the new destiny laid upon the world. And yet, he will never give up. Book 14: Abyss Ascendent Synopsis: As a future of never-ending conflict draws closer, Gaius stands at the centre of Orb, his will tempered and set. What the Wildlands has ceased to be, he will inherit. Divine Kingdoms and mortal nations clamour for peace to prepare for greater wars, but Gaius will no longer stand for that. For the sake of his dream, the Five Lands — and now, the Wildlands — must be unified against a common enemy. Gaius himself. Raising the flag of rebellion against mortal nature and destiny, the Abyss Sovereign commences a festival of creation for his new world, a paradise unimaginable to both mortal and divine minds. With his intentions made known now, there is no going back. He will succeed. Or die trying. Book 15: Terminus Transcendent Synopsis: ???
