《The Rise Of A Porter》First Mission (3)

"What the hell is wrong with you!" Arnold yelled at EL pushing him off himself.
"The hell you mean, what's wrong with me? What's wrong with you! I just saved you from a Direwolf damnit." EL snapped back at him, brushing the dust off his armour.
"So you did it to... save me? But who opened the door then?"
"How the f*ck am I suppose to know that. I thought you did it."
"If you didn't do it then who did it?"
Before they could talk more about what had happened, they heard someone's footsteps. They simultaneously looked at the far end.
"You got to be kidding me!"

MEANWHILE OUTSIDE THE BOSS ROOM
"I told those idiots to stand by, is it too much to ask!" Ricardo and the rest of the team just reached near the gate. All they could see was that the golem Arnold had summoned, was fighting against three direwolves at once. These were the wolves having grey fur and were tough to deal with. Lifeless body of one wolf was near the Golem's feet while the three remaining wolves were ferociously attacking the Golem. Seeing no other way around them, the team members charged at the wolves. The wolves were outnumbered and soon succumbed to the innumerable wounds. But the members weren't thinking about the wolves anymore, they were worried about the two idiots who were inside the boss room right now.
They had all the right reasons to be worried as well because the direwolves were rank B creatures, meaning the boss of the dungeon would at least be a rank A monster. Most of them were worried about EL because even if he was strong, he was still a B+ ranked warrior. They had almost no hope that Arnold would be able to survive.

Seeing this situation Ricardo ordered two of the fastest runners to go and inform the guild manager about the problem inside the dungeon as he doubted that the cameras were functioning anymore, because if they were the guild should have already sent the reinforcements.
"The gates aren't opening!" the mages felt helpless.
"Let's hope they are okay inside the room." At this point Ricardo could only hope and trust their strength.

INSIDE THE BOSS ROOM
"Do something!" EL shouted at Arnold, while dodging yet another blow from the monster's scythe.
"The hell you think I'm trying to do!" Arnold was frantically using his ice abilities at the monster.
When he had used the [PROBE] skill on the 7 feet tall, black skinned, humanoid creature. the result was something like this.

In short, fighting the [UNDEAD REAPER] head on was like chasing after death itself. But they didn't had a choice in the matter, they were locked inside the room and the only way to open the door was to somehow defeat the [UNDEAD REAPER], a task they were failing miserably. But the rewards for defeating the monster were very rich too.

"I need time to activate and use my abilities. I CAN'T DO IT WHEN THIS UGLY IDIOT IS CHASING MY A$$!" EL shouted at the top of his lungs. "I need someone to tank for me!"
"Just hold on for sometime!" Arnold already had a plan ready, he was waiting for the cooldown of his abilities to end so he could act on it. Just then the cooldown of his ability, [ELEMENTAL SUMMONING : FROST GOLEM] finished. He immediately summoned three Frost golems as he couldn't summon 4 as long as the previous all the previously summoned golems died, but that wasn't enough to tackle down the reaper, he had learnt his lesson after attacking the reaper using normal golems.
He touched the golems one after another, using his [ENHANCEMENT] ability to enhance their power.

_________________________
The results of enhancement were better than Arnold had expected. But he had no time to celebrate. He immediately ordered the golems to attack and distract the reaper.
•Current Mana : 810/1470•
"The golems will distract the reaper for a while. Use whatever ability and skill you want to!"
"Got it!" EL replied sheathing his sword.

[ PROGRESS ] : 580/2250 damage dealt.
_________________________
Suddenly the progress bar for the mission started increasing incredibly fast! He looked back at the towards where the reaper was. The golems were attacking the reaper in sync, they were planning and attacking on their own without a single order from Arnold. The B ranked golem was leading the strike on the reaper.
"We can do this!" Arnold could feel the adrenaline rushing through his veins.

Keys of the Endpoint
Keys of the Endpoint is an illustrated web serial about the re-birth of civilization in a fantastical world suffering from a recent apocalyptic event. Every day, people appear from the storms that ravage the Endpoint. Whisked away from their own time and place by storms in their homelands, these newcomers find themselves in a hostile place made up of ruins and people from every timeline imaginable. Stranger still, they all soon discover they're carrying silver keys that grant each holder incredible powers. On Earth, most people have mundane excuses for the disappearances, but not Isaac. Having lost his brother Finn to one of these storms, Isaac becomes obsessed with finding a pattern. Not to prevent more people disappearing, but rather to get taken by the storms himself in order to find his brother. While chasing Finn’s faint trail, Isaac soon discovers how little he really knew about himself, his brother and how much loss one person can take. In Keys of the Endpoint there's portal fantasy, personal drama, magic (useable by everyone), plenty of combat, power progression, mysteries, factions, feuds and eventually war (in that order). The magic system is well defined and modular with nigh infinite combinations. The story starts out with one of the two main characters looking for his lost brother but quickly expands in scope from that point on.

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
