《Im a Kobold, So what》Chapter 21 The Great Stick ExcaliBam
Advertisement
We make our way down to the eleventh floor. Once we reach the bottom we find ourselves in a lush green forest. [How is a freaking forest growing in the dungeon]? {Magic}. [HOW DOES THAT EXPLAIN ANYTHING] While we argue a large ape about twice the size of me sarts eating a fruit. I decided to try out my new weapon. I sneak up behind it raising my staff.
[EXCALI]! -BAM- I smash my staff into the skull of the dire ape. {Why did you just shout Excali}? [Cause that's what I'm naming my weapon Excalibam] {Why Excalibam}? [For you see in the old days when gods walked the earth the god of magic tripped on a stick and brought Devine judgment upon it. However, it was proven innocent and obtained some of the god's powers. The stick than fell from the heavens and stuck into a nearby rock, but was found by a stupid slime and brought to this dungeon]. {Basically your mad that you got a stick instead of a sword right}. [Yeah pretty much].
(Title Acquired: Terrible Namer)
After a short rest, we continue as we're walking down a long corridor I let out a depressed sigh. {What's wrong master}. [It's just... I'm lonely]. {Wait what}? [YOU USELESS GODS WHERES THE HEROINE IN THIS STORY ALL THE HEROES IVE HEARD OF EVEN HAVE THEIR OWN HAREM WHAT DO I GET HUH]. I lean on the wall to calm my self down but as I do I accidentally push a stone in. -RUMBLE RUMBLE- The wall rises up revealing a secret passage. My heart speeds up. [What are we waiting for let's go]. {No patience as usual} Rushing in I come across a large golden chest. My eyes glimmer as I open it [what could it be what could it be wait.... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS]!?

(Name: Body Pillow from another world)
(Description: Some who never found love might satisfy their desires by using these)
-FWOOM- (Skill Activated: Fire Spark)
We stood there in silence for a good while. [We didn't see anything]. {Agreed}. After that traumatizing experience, we continue down the dungeon finally reaching the fifteenth floor.
We reached the fifteenth floor by now and we start looking around. We manage to find a couple of traps and ropers. I happily let Max do all the work. Then we encounter a Salamander, like the one I summoned earlier so I did what any person would do in this situation.
I proceeded to summon another Salamander and me and Max placed bets on who would win. Of course, I bet on my own Salamander. -SKRIRRR- [NOOOO]! My Salamander dispersed as the mini-boss let out a victory cry. {As agreed I get to spend half of your savings}. He had a proud and amused look on his face which pissed me off. [Yeah fine let's kill this thing]. It was a hard battle but we managed to take it out from Max's ice magic. [Wait what's this] I pick up an item strapped around the arm of the Salamander
(Name: Giants Bracer)
(Effect: Strength +50)
No wonder I lost it had this thing on. [This is now mine since it had this thing you cheated]. {What are you talking about that won't even fit you how about I give you back your savings for it}. [mmm fine]. After strapping it to Max he now has to boosts one for Vitality and the other for strength. *Why does he get all the cool items and I get nothing but this stick. {Why don't we stop here and get some sleep}? [YES PLEASE]!
We started setting up camp on the fifteenth floor. I take out some chicken out of the magic bag and start eating happily. {What's our plan going forward}? [You should be the vanguard and I'll be the support I guess]. {I don't like that idea}. [Why not it seems that's what we're best suited for]. {Because I am not about to be lit on fire again}. [Well at least I had fun]. [Alright how about this then I'll hold off on magic until it's necessary deal]? {You will use magic when I say it's necisarry}. *Crap he caught on*. [For now, I guess I'll fight with this staff than]. {Didn't it have a transformation feature why not try that out}? [Oh yeah might as well I guess a ranged weapon would be nice].

(Transformation skilled activated: Crossbow)
The staff changes morphs and changes shapes into a crossbow. [This is actually pretty cool now how to I use it]? {First, you pull back the string than load a bolt and finally pull the trigger}. [And if you don't have bolts what would happen]? {Than it's useless}. [Well that's disappointing I might as well give it a try anyway]. I pull back the string to the crossbow -Click- I heard the clicking sound and point it at the wall now all I got to do is pull the trigger]. As I put my finger on the trigger I could feel the Mana being pulled out of me. [Wait what's going on]? An arrow of fire appears in the crossbow ready to fire and it startled me. [WHAT THE HELL]! Accidentally pulling the trigger the arrow is let loose -CHING- it makes contact with the wall.
The wall on my right that is somehow it curved right for no reason. [Wait what]? {Wow, you're worse at this than you are at coming up with oneliners}. [Oh shut up]. I was mad because I knew he was right. [Let me try again while actually aiming this time]. Max carves a target into the wall for me to shoot at. [Alright let's do this]! Taking aim with my crossbow I let the air loose and it goes straight towards the target. For about five feet that is then it suddenly shot downwards.
[HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK]! Max is laughing his ass off while behind me. I transform the crossbow to a Dagger which I'm more used to. [Let's head on without wasting any more time here]. {HEHE aye-aye deadeye}. *I swear I'm going to get back at him for this*. We March to the sixteenth floor curious about what awaits us next.

8 120The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.

The Omnidragon is a legendary creature, equipped with untold power and mastery over all the elements, then paired with the might of a dragon and the wisdom of the ages. Only a single member of their kind can exist at the same time, and all of them share the same soul. Each time they incarnate, the world is warped with a significant shift in power between monsters and mortals, who both desire the power of this being for themselves... or to take it away from others by any means necessary. Nashariel is the latest incarnation of this incredible being. Born in the city of Andriel, devoted to Astill the Goddess of Compassion, she is torn between the teachings she received and her draconic instincts that push her to fight more and more dangerous beings to return to her old glory. Seen as either a threat or a resource, Nashariel will soon find herself playing pawn in the board of the strong. Will she be able to rise above it? Or will the omnidragon be chained to other's will, and need another incarnation to reach the top? A few notes: 1-This is my first ever novel, and English is not my main language. I'm open to corrections and suggestions! 2- This novel will have a slow start, for a few chapters. 3- The chapter's length varies between 3.500 and 5.000 words, every Monday. There may or may not be a bonus one on Thursdays. 4- Have fun reading!
