《Empyreal War; MOBA reimagined》Skirmish 4: Power of Rage
Advertisement
Damn you! I wanted to spit the words in his face but I was stunned.
How the heck does he even dodge my HEAVE?
My combat skill HEAVE HO has the strongest damage among the others but its bad when it doesn't hit.
The Chaplain freely landed his blows on my face as I openly stood for a few seconds.
[ Health 33% ]
It was vexing. But at the same time, it was fine. I need him to deal me some damage for me to build up RAGE.
I swung to retaliate wounding his arm which he used to block my axe. The thin paper wrapped around his hands is useless against my weapon.
It was just a dumb way to block an attack. His feeble limb wont last if he keeps on doing this.
Alas, he was not the dumbest enemy I have encountered. He was fast and a little dodgy.
Man, I hate it when my attacks are dodged. When did Chaplains became this fast?
Must be the items he was wearing. Well, a pair of SABATON and a SILPHITE gem. These cheap items are greatly focused on increasing SPEED.
Is he planning to craft TALAREON?
Whatever. I'll kill him first before he could.
I swung again but he evaded it. He powered up his fist and punched me. It was fast but it felt like the weakest punch I have ever recieved.
[ Health 30% ]
The Chaplain's damage does not increase by investing in SPEED. Its innate skill does help a bit but if we're talking about damage, there's no argument its gotta be MIGHT!
I swung my axe with all my strength. If only it connected it would have taken a big portion of his Health.
It doesn't matter. I'll just let him hit me a few more times and my skill will eventually kick in.

He threw small spheres of light as he backed off. Punched me as I chased him then dodged as I chopped.
[ Health 22% ]
I eyed on my Health and as soon as I saw him power up his fist, I beamed a smile letting him hit my jaw.

RAGE MODE: For 21seconds, Nullify all forms of ailments and afflictions and increase MIGHT by 60%, SPEED by 15% and reduce overall damage taken by 20%.
•••••
I felt the fire burning up in me as I let out a roar. I was feeling faster and stronger. Fiercer. Even the tips of my axe felt sharper as I sliced into the wind.
RAGE.
Rage is like a drug. It numbs my senses from pain and fills my brain with rush.
RAGE MODE lasts for a long duration and it cannot be cancelled unless my health is replenished above fifty percent An upgrade even doubles the effect when my health hits below ten.
It was such a great skill that it was given a setback. It becomes hard to think clearly in this state and my judgment becomes clouded by death and destruction.
It doesn't matter. I'll just focus on beating this puny little Chaplain.
Right! And after him I'll go crush their Golem. My colleague Rotuel won't even need to rally the pawns behind us.
Well, what's up with him? He stopped shooting arrows at some point.
Not that I care though. I don't need his fire support anymore. My weapon is a lot better than his arrows. Its more than enough to kill this brat.

My axe found its way to finally graze the Chaplain's face.
Ooh. I felt that.
He was knocked back but he flipped and threw a couple of energy balls before moving away.
Meh. He was running away but I'm not letting him.
Nobody runs off from me when I'm in RAGE.
Nobody can escape.
Nobody can survive.
I swung my axe as I chased him almost hitting his back. I lunged forward but he rolled away.
Damn, so dodgy as always. Imma chop those legs so you can't run anymore!
As I noticed him about to stop, I made a grin. I held my axe out and heaved.
FRSH
I was able to slash his back. He tumbled down from the impact. I swung again as he stood cutting his shoulder and knocking him back to the ground. As I came above him I raised my axe.
A single chop and he will disintegrate.
He's been dodgy all this time but my RAGE is better than his speed.
A single chop is all I need.
Just. A single chop.
I smirked as he laid helpless.
His face.. Ah his face... A slight expression of panic.
Delightful.
I'll slice it.
Let me slice it!
There's no way he can dodge.
But then he smiled.
It was late for me to notice the huge shadow that has loomed above us.

8 147Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
8 613Tabula Rasa : An Unbound Adventure
It starts as many things do: a clean slate, an empty page. What once was set in stone and wholly writ is gone, and all that's left is the vague notion of absence, a fullness lacking.The feeling of being tetherless, pathless, without direction or responsibility is something many would find terrifying. Others might find it freeing - an opportunity to strike out on new adventures and explore the unknown.Either way, first they have to figure out where they are and how they leave. ====== My first novel on this platform! An avid GameLit/LitRPG fan, I decided to start writing this when I seemed to exhaust all of my options for well reviewed content on the site! Inspiration for the world/general feeling is a mix of Azarinth Healer, Abyssal Road Trip, Winterborn, and the Power of Ten series, with a strong reliance on 3.5 and PF1 frameworks as a scaffold for the world. I see Arc 1 as a Robinson Crusoe style coming to terms scenario, lots of exploration of the System, the MC's options, the island and encounters with the denizens and visitors of the Timeless Isle, with a non-zero amount of introspection around their long term goals. I'll publish as frequently as I'm able but don't have a regular cadence planned at the moment.
