《You're Mecha-ing Me Crazy!》Chapter 11: A World Event Unfolds
Advertisement
As more and more dragons descended from the sky, there was little I could do anymore. The tactics I used in the previous battles were obsolete in the face of all these dragons.
“Pull back Rama, I miscalculated this event. I didn’t think this would be a [World Event]. I thought this was just an [Event Boss]”
An [Event Boss] was a special monster that dropped a special loot box that has the chance of giving the player unique items and gears.
However, a [World Event] was an event that included an [Event Boss], that required massive amounts of players to work together and beat it. The minimum amount of players required to complete the [World Event] in a timely manner was 200 plus players.
Unlike a normal boss battle in a dungeon, a [World Event] was timed. The rewards for the event were rare item drops that were given to all the members who did damage to the [Event Boss]. However, whoever killed the boss would get a legendary one of a kind item.
The time limit for this [World Event] was one hour.
I drove the vehicle away from the heat of the battle.
“Man, we are clearly outclassed here Rama.”
“...yeah.”

As I was driving away, the dragons kept chasing us, there was no chance to rest. Sheena did her best to shoot at them, but the turret’s damage was laughable, like a fish trying to slap a bear. Jack provided us with backup cover. His shots were able to one shot the dragon minions.
“How...is that possible.”
Each player received 5 skills points every time they leveled up. Since the level cap of the game was 60, the total amount of skill points one can receive was 300 points. However, this game had a deep level of customization with over hundreds of skills to choose from. One skill needed 30 points to be maxed out.

A high level player would of course have a higher damage range and more skills, but to one shot these monsters was something out of this world.
“Are you curious Rama? Let me enlighten you on my greatness and why I am one of the Six Gears. First off, I maxed out the skills ‘Eagle Eye’, ‘Sniper Mastery’, ‘Expose Weakness’, ‘Piercing Bullet’, and ‘Bull’s Eye’ which unlocked the [Unique Skill] ‘Deadshot’”
Normal Skills Eagle Eye Level 30 (Passive) 50% in Critical Damage Sniper Mastery Level 30 (Passive) 50% increase in Damage when using a Sniper Expose Weakness Level 30 (Passive) Ignores 75% of the enemy’s defense Piercing Bullet Level 30 (Passive) Bullets do 25% more Damage Bull’s Eye Level 30 (Passive) 50% increase in Critical Chance Unique Skill Deadshot Level 10 (Active)
25% chance to one shot the enemy, doesn’t affect Boss monsters.
10 second cooldown
Unlike most RPGs that had a linear skill tree where the best skills had to be earned after putting points into the prerequisite skills, [Otomech Full Drive] let anyone choose which skill they wanted right off the bat, so the best skills were available at the very beginning.
What made this system so special was its [Unique Skill]. A [Unique Skill] could only be unlocked when the required skills were maxed out in the normal skill tree, almost like a recipe. These skills needed only 10 skills point to be maxed out.
“But the most important item I have is my weapon the [Phoenix’s Beak].”
He sent his item’s info over onto my interface.
In [Otomech Full Drive], item rarity was divided into five different color text for its name. The normal items had white colored text, above average items had green text, rare items had blue text, unique items had purple text and legendary grade items had dark orange text.

Jack’s weapon had dark crimson red text.
Dark crimson red text items can only be obtained after crafting and improving a legendary grade item. Crafted items were the best end game gear anyone could get their hands on, but required an insane amount of rare materials.
The [Phoenix Beak] had a special attribute attached to it, which set all sniper skills to only a .25 second cooldown, which was essentially 0 seconds.
“Holy shit...” I couldn’t help but just be in awe.
“Exactly and as the Crit King of this game, the 25% chance is essentially 100% chance for me.”
Jack was killing these monsters in seconds. It almost seemed like what we did was not even worth it.
“If you were this strong couldn’t you have done this yourself?”
“Technically yes, but my setup has a fatal flaw.”
“Which is?”
“You think I’d tell you so easily?”
As we reached safety, the amount of dragons being summoned was insane. The sky was flooded with dragons and not a single piece of the sky could be seen. It was clear that Jack was being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the monsters, but his quick rapid fire shots kept them at bay from advancing any further.
Twenty minutes have passed since the event started.
Jack was slowly losing the battle of attrition as his shots couldn’t keep up with the amount of waves that were forming. But as things seemed dire multiple explosions rang throughout the sky.
“Man...I couldn’t finish this in time...”
As I looked towards the sky I could see three other Otomechs appear. Each bringing a group of 50 Otomechs with them.
“You’re alone? No wonder you got here so fast.”
“Haha you’re way too greedy Jack.”
“Looks like your plan backfired Mr. Wilder. Now let the real players show you how it’s done.”

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend

Sorcerer, level 1
Alcar's life sucks. His days in the poor quarter of the city of Katresburg are long and tough, his parents treat him like garbage, and he doesn’t have a silver moon to his name. But Alcar knows that there is an exciting world of adventure out there. And when he sees a half-orc master sorcerer walking through his neighborhood, he decides to grab his chance. He approaches Master Maluhk to offer his services as an apprentice. And to his shock, the sorcerer agrees to let him come and try his luck along with several other applicants. Soon though, it is all too clear that Alcar, clumsy and lazy as he is, lacks any natural magical talent. It also becomes apparent that Master Maluhk is only interested in ’apprentices’ in order to get someone to do his laundry and tidy up his books. At best, Alcar and the others have signed up to do unpaid labor. Things go from bad to worse when his fellow applicants for the role of apprentice prove to be reckless in the extreme, and as Master Maluhk’s tower catches fire, Alcar soon finds himself being blamed for their misdemeanors. Can Alcar clear his name, gain another chance, and learn enough to show that he has the potential to be a proper sorcerer’s apprentice? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
