《Eclipse Online》Chapter 3
Advertisement
A flash of light blinded me before I got sent to a simple desk that had a sword, bow, staff. Ariel appeared next to the counter with a gentle smile.
"In this room, you can do anything you like without having to worry about dying, mana, or physical exhaustion."
"so I get to train?" I asked her
"Yes," Ariel responded.
"Can I spend however much time I want here?"
"Yes?" she responds with a questioning tone
I had read my fair share of litrpg and thought of an idea, but I sure it wouldn't work, would it? I got down on the ground and started doing a set of 10 pushups before changing my position to plank. I repeated this for ten to fifteen min before I receive the message I wanted to see,
STR +1
"holy shit, it works" I said to myself
I kept going with my training for two hours straight rotating what I was doing to increase my overall stats.
STR +8 VIT+6 AGI+9 DEX+10
I felt amazing as I the new power surge through my body. I used to read this and think that it exploited that probably would have been handled, but the fact it didn't just amaze me.
"Status," I said
Status Window
Name Zero Level 1 Gender Male Class - Race Human Profession - Titles - Health 160/160 Health Regen 5.5/min Mana 50/50 Mana Regen 5/min Stamina 240/240 Stamina Regen 15/min --- Strength 19 Vitality 16 Agility 24 Dexterity 26 Intelligence 6 Wisdom 5 Luck 9
I couldn't help but smile while looking at my stats, they were to that for a level five. luck probably wouldn't be affected by any training that I know of, but I need a way to raise intelligence and wisdom. Letting it go, for now, I went over to the desk with the weapons before grabbing the sword.

"Hey, can I get a practice dummy?" I asked Ariel
"Huh? Oh yeah sure, here" Ariel said after been dazed off for so long.
A practice dummy appeared, and I went to stand in front of the dummy. I swung the sword and hit the inanimate object, recoiling from the holding the sword wrong. I readjusted my grip and went forward with my strikes at the dummy for half an hour until something broke my concentration.
New Skill Obtained
Sword Mastery (Novice) Level 1
Description: Increases damage and proficiency with Swords (1-handed only)
STR+3
I gawked in happiness over the new skill and stats decided to move on to the next weapon the bow and once again got with shooting at the dummy. I missed every shot for the first ten minutes before I finally hit it. I was glad and was able to keep hitting the dummy every three-shot until I was able to get it down to hit it every time, not anywhere deadly, but still hitting.
New Skill Obtained
Bow Mastery (Novice) Level 1
Description: Increases damage with Bows
DEX+2
I repeated the process with the magic staff, but instead of receiving a magic spell magic stat boost, I received nothing.
"Okay Ariel, I think I'm done," I told her
Ariel had long ago fallen asleep and was laying her head down against a desk snoring. I walked over to her and poked her forehead a few times until she reacted.
"No mom, I don't want food," She said quickly getting up quickly
She looked around before finally remember what she was doing
"oh you're finally done? good, cause I'm tired of having you here" She said looking annoyed "I will now send you to the starting point"
With another flash, I was teleported to the middle of a city which I happened to read online was the capital, Selene city.

In the myriad realms, legends rise and fall in the countless eras.
8 194Echoes of Valhalla
(Currently Updates at about 3 chapters a week, generally on Tues, Wend, Thur if I can swing it. 2k average words per chapter) As a cashier at Trollhålans combined corner store and gas station, Saga is stuck out in nowhere, Sweden. Having recently lost their mother, they are at their wit's end as they are pushing close to 30 with a dead-end job and only a few friends that they hold semi-reasonable contact with. Most of them have families, jobs, and lives that they do not. In what is a stroke of extraordinarily bad luck, they come face to face with a being not from their world. A creature not supposed to be there. A being that kills them over a bag of sliced bread. Only for Saga to reincarnate in another world. Armed with nothing but a poor temperament and a strange magical guide, they find themselves in a strange, yet oddly familiar new world, surrounded by runic magic, undead, magical beasts, half-giants, and more. Now Saga must find a way to make a new life for themselves while also figuring out how to not end up dead, again. Journey alongside Saga as they find themselves and grow, both as a warrior and as a person. Note: The author has English as their second language and has ADD. Grammatical errors are continuously fixed throughout as they are noticed or pointed out.

She took his soul and put it in the body of someone from a different world. A world without any cultivators, superheroes, or magic. A world called Earth. Eric won't let that stop him though. No matter how long it takes him he will get his revenge and reclaim the throne of his empire. But first he needs to regain his cultivation and escape Earth.
8 166Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
