《The Network》[Chapter 11] Skill
Advertisement
Finally!
Lady luck has smiled down upon me!
I get up from the ground and dance around in my little victory dance.
"Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh y- OW!"
My aching body finally succumbs to my wounds and breaks down. I slump down to the ground in irritation.
"Maybe the world isn't ready for a dance like mine," I mumble under my breath
"Anyhow..." I stare back at my new notification.
Due to the [Combat Specialist] skill, the host has learned a new skill: [Energy Strike]
-This looks like one of those cool skills that the main characters have in stories."
"Should I give it a try?"
Despite the pain, I get up and start walking towards a sturdy-looking pile of rubble.
I stand in front of it and take a deep breath.Exhale.Deep breath. Exhale.
I position my body into stance.
...Deep breath. Exhale.
The instant I exhale, I activate [Energy Strike] and deliver a straight punch.
This is it...the moment where legends are made...the moment where the weak are separated from the strong...the moment where I begin my journey as the main character!!!
[Energy Strike] has been activated.
The flow of energy travels delicately in my body, from the feet to the legs, to the hips, torso, shoulders, arms, and finally the hands. When the flow reached my hands, a surge of power vibrates in my muscles and bursts out like thunder
YES!
My hands made an impact with the stone with a-
CRUNCH!
Wait for a second...that's not what it should sound like.
I examined the rubble. No damage. Only a slight gust of wind was generated by my punch.
That's... disgustingly underwhelming.
I slowly glanced down at my hand and sighed.
Typical.
My knuckles were somehow badly bruised and swollen. Maybe fractured.

How does that even work?!
I mean come on, I took so much damage but generated so little force.
Did [The Network] also screw up the laws of physics or what?!
On the bright side of things, I activated [Acute Mind] before I using this stupid new skill, so the pain felt more like a severely bad sting from a hornet.
It doesn't hurt at all.
...
Eventually, I got over the pain and I wrapped my hand (right) in a piece of cloth.
I was still kind of stingy after the pathetic performance of a cool-sounding skill. It didn't seem like a big problem, but if my theory about limited space for skills was correct, that meant that I wasted space for a useless skill instead of at least a mediocre one. That gave a huge advantage for any competitors.
"Hmmm...what to do...should I try to look for more food?...or maybe for other people?"
Congratulations Survivors! The first days of the [New world] are over! From now on a [Ranker system] will be put in place to distinguish the weak from the strong! The top [Rankers] will get better resources and [Quests], and not to mention more [Fans]! Scurry to the top of the board and gain [Fans]!
But most of all. Be good entertainment.

Bonespore
Harux Y'saanith is not your average elf. He is wild, untamed, and likes a good old cut of meat over a plate of vegetables. But what he does have in common is his love of fighting and magic. So when he gets the perfect opportunity to join an academy full of strong fighters, he couldn't resist. Journeying with an eccentric tech billionaire, a boy who's way too theatrical for his own good, a proud knightess and many others, Harux wonders if he'd finally found strong opponents, or even people he can call his friends. Bonespore is a shonen-inspired story set in an academy where students train and fight. There is also a blend of magic and SciFi as it is set in a post-modern world of sorts. If you like something that is a blend of both magical slice of life, and tense moments with battle, horror and other events, then it'll be to your liking. (This will be crossposted onto Scribblehub)
