《The Network》[Chapter 10] System

The host has fully recovered
A sharp intake of air was forcefully shoved down my throat.
Cough!
Cough!
I gasped and sat up in shock
I looked around, nothing seemed out of place...excluding the destruction and fire.
My whole body throbbed and stung.
"Fully recovered my ass..." I mumbled under my breath.
[Quest]: Survive in the [New world] for 2 days. This [Quest] has been completed.
I analyzed the message with anticipation.
"Wait for a second...has it been 2 days?!"
[Reward]: Selection between [Sword] [Spear] and [Bow and arrow]
"Anyway...this is cool...what should I choose?... I think I should go with-"
[Bonus] option has been unlocked for host due to [Martial arts] skill! The user has the chance to evolve [Martial arts] skill into [Combat Specialist].
After reading the new message I didn't even hesitate to choose the [Bonus].
I mean... it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance...I think. Plus my skill is going through a [evolution]! Most times that means that it's getting improved, and it was already helpful.
And somehow I feel that the weapons are not going to live up to my expectations...and even if they do this is an era where there are literal guns, tanks, and nukes. I don't think they will be extremely useful.
The moment I choose, a library's worth of combat information is driven into me.
[Combat Specialist]
[Passive skill]:
The host has an instinctively understanding of combat and innate encyclopedic knowledge in hand-to-hand fighting styles; therefore understanding and analyzing the opponent's style of combat and flaws in the opponent's attack and defense. They can use the strength of the opponent in their favor.
The host has an incredible perception of opponents and the users surrounding areas using it to his advantage and can copy or mix several types of martial arts and movements and understand how an attack works in a matter of minutes. This power can be enhanced by the user's experience and improvement of skill.

"ARRRRAAAAGH!"
I scream out in agony. My muscles twitch and are fed new types of muscle memory. My brain is overloaded with an unprecedented amount of information. Sirens sounding like nails on a chalkboard resound from every corner of my brain. The torture lasts for what feels like weeks.
And finally... it stops.
HACK!
HACK!
HACK!
I was gasping for air on the ground in pain. It took me several minutes after it stopped to calm down.
Instantly everything went dark. A light coming from the sky cast a circle spanning 3 meters around me.
I...I can see.
I can see!
In the 3 meters circle around me, I can "see" perfectly clearly. Every detail. Every grain of stone on the ground. I could feel the gas in the air, and the heat radiating around me. It was like all my 5 senses were added together into one-sixth sense.
So this is what it means by "the host has an incredible perception of opponents and the users surrounding areas".
I try casting my "gaze" further away, but it soon becomes blurry like looking through a thin wall of translucent glass and beyond 5 meters it becomes undetectable and I have to rely on my sight.
"Okay...I think maybe...just maybe...it was worth the pain."
Due to the [Combat Specialist] skill, the host has learned a new skill: [Energy Strike]
"It was definitely worth it."

Allocation
Character-driven action/fantasy/mystery/litrpg. The World is a cruel place. You must choose your Skills wisely to learn the truth that lies beyond the Five Territories of Man. The Territories are isolated areas shielded from a hostile environment known as the Mana Expanse. Humanity feels safe knowing that they are protected by the Boundaries from the horrors and monsters which dominate the world outside. Yet on this day, a Boundary fails. -------------------- Alan looked up through the crack in the wooden wall at a hazy sky. The morning sun was just peeking out over the horizon, lighting a world in which there was no longer balance. He watched thin wisps of clouds swirling in the breeze above his small town. The gentle mists moved with no intention, flowing in sweeping circles creating a thin veil yet to be burnt off by the red morning light. Taking a deep shaking breath, Alan shifted his gaze down towards the corpses of everyone he had known. His heart beat faster as his eyes adjusted, the red light above meeting the bloody red scene below. Was he the only one left alive? -------------------- Release Schedule: once a month (minimum)

Era: Dawn of the New Gods
Concise Synopsis: This is a post-apocalyptic story about the origins of various powerful figures that appeared after the apocalypse event. During the apocalypse monsters appeared possessing powers and constitution beyond the limits of human understanding. They ravaged the world and brought down all governments. The first part of the story follows Jade, a terrorist that was ravaging the world before the monsters arrived. Dramatic Synopsis: The New Gods, the most feared and revered beings on the planet. They are forces capable of absolute destruction and creation. The Council of Branches Hayley, the Living Lie (if that is her real name) Chao Feng, the Prince of Stars Lara, the Mother of Heroes The Great City of Tver Gog, the Ever Losing War The Unkillable Freak Dave, the Flow Demon Avatari, (only the name is known) Satoshi, the Gentle Hurricane As Impactful as they are no one knew their origin, they are called the New Gods so there must be Old Gods. I and my collegues dedicated our lives to finding their origins only to find out that the beings we fear and adore were once like us, average, mortal and weak... at least most of them were. *It is a sort of reverse RPG as no one knows anything either skills, abilities or how the system works but they find out on their own or develop their own skills or abilites. *The story has many protagonists and point of views but it paints a beatiful story of survival in a world of endless perils for both the humans and the monsters(some monsters are protagonists). *There is a system but it is very limited (not overpowered) and treats everyone equally, monster or human. The system is very different from regular systems; no exp, levels and system items. *The story is a world building story where overall, the world is the true main character. The cover image photo is credited to Angel David *For now it's one chapter a day

I will not be eaten
Litchi is your ordinary Royal Road addict. She can’t resist the call of a new chapter even when she needs to work. Because of too many new responsibilities she promises one week without reading. Sadly, she cracks in three days, because of an Azarinth Healer notification. Taking out her phone she starts avidly reading. It’s just a small promise, she will try it another time. Nothing should happen. Say that to the goblin that tries to eat your face, Litchi! You should keep your promise! She was used to food jokes on her name but it seems that this time her destiny is to be eaten. ---- Hello future reader! I didn’t find a new good isekai so why not create my own? I am an RR addict and amateur writer (in French) and today I decided to publish a story. You will have my eternal gratitude for any advice or constructive comments on the story! One of my objectives is to have developed characters, duo or trio make a fantastic way to character growth. So, I will try to create a deep relationship between a few of them. The first few chapters have a lot of combat, but other characters will soon arrive. Those first few chapters are made to build tension and create Litchi's first motivations. This story has the plot written to the end and important characters already shaped. This story is short in comparison to the majority of RR fantasy stories. Update every two days until I have no more chapters in my pocket. Average chapter length: 2200 words Warning: The grammar can be bad, IMPORTANT CHARACTERS CAN (Will) DIE, contain philosophical conversation as the characters stumble upon morals dilemmas. I hope I will see you soon in the comments and thank you in advance for reading Litchi’s journey. Have a nice day! :)
