《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.
•••••
SAVAGERY
Type: Innate - Passive
Description:
Berserkrs of the North are known to being brute and ill-tempered. As masters of rage, they can trigger their unstable mana to empower their bodies when they are mad.
Automatically switch to RAGE MODE If health drops below 21%.
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.

The Werewolf Cheerleader
Being a cheerleader is easier than being a werewolf. Jessica Tumbleleague is a typical teenage girl who loves being a cheerleader at Moondale High. But after an encounter with a werewolf in the woods, Jessica discovers a frightening world she never thought is real. Dangerous magic, deadly fierce spirits, and other malevolent creatures. Now Jessica must fight the forces of darkness to protect her hometown while balancing her supernatural life with her high school life. But can she control the beast within herself? Note: This is a rewrite of the original with the same name. I decided to change the third-person style to first-person because I liked Jessica's voice better. She is funny and very strong. With the story only focusing on her, I can keep the mystery suspenseful and the reader can experience what Jessica is experiencing. It is a typical YA style, but it is fun to write as your main character. There are changes, but the first and second books will be similar to the third-person chapters. Let me know what you think and I hope you will enjoy this new version of the Werewolf Cheerleader. I will post the chapters every Friday in the afternoon. P.S, there is a Werewolf Cheerleader short story published in the Tales of Dungeons, All Hallows book. Titled The Werewolf Cheerleader: Castle and Ghouls. The short is also in first-person, which made me decide to change the book series into first-person. The link is below if you want to check it out. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B08MCS82R5

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
