《The World Of Divinity》The Creek!
Advertisement
One youth danced through the harsh terrain as if it was his home to begin with. Using the shadows to his advantage, Alex appeared and disappeared from tree to tree. Using the branches to thrust himself forward.
Alex wasn't trying to draw attention to himself in the creek as although his combat skills were top notch the danger here currently for his level and current strength was undeniable. Still Alex was without a doubt unafraid.
Why you might ask, well that is simple. In his past life Alex learned multiple different routes to effectively level himself up as in his early years of playing the game he used to boost peoples accounts for money. Although this method was frowned upon and quite frankly Alex too despised it, Alex was forced too make money one way or another.
This route he was currently taking he had taken many times in the past. That was because the end result would allow him too open a chest if done properly. Depending on his luck he could boost himself to a higher level faster if he got something good.
Avoiding the different beasts from wild boar's to Monkeys. Alex continued to make his way deeper into the forest all the way up until he reached the inner region of the creak's hunting ground. You could tell that the danger level increased as the surroundings seemed to be marked with territorial warnings.
Tree's seemed to be marked by bear claws and different other kinds of scratches. Alex picked up on all of this as he focused himself on controlling his breathing and keeping his presence masked. As for his stealth skill it was currently activated and increasing the proficiency rapidly as Alex's usage of the skill were top tier. In fact it was nearing level 2.

ROARRR
In the close distance a brown bear appeared of large stator. Alex expected this of course as he had to overcome this obstacle to get too where the quest object was. Instead of being afraid of the incoming danger he seemly smiled before shouting "Come!"
The bear enraged at the arrogance of the youth charge on all fours before standing on it's hind legs and slashing both claws towards Alex's direction. Alex did not panic in front of the incoming danger and instead stayed deathly still. The claws came thrashing down and just before they made contact with the body of Alex, he vanished.
The bear somewhat confused at how weak the youth was thought he was instantly dead. However, before it realised it hadn't made contact with the youth and what's worse disappeared. Alex reappeared to the left side of the bear. Taking his dagger from his side he used [Chop] on the bears neck before slashing twice more once on the shoulder of the bear and the next of the back as Alex descended from a higher elevation after jumping.
-92 -42 -62
The bear roared out in pain and anger before turning and once more slashing towards Alex. This time at a much faster and vicious speed than prior. Not that that it mattered as Alex waited for the claw to come closer to him before he accelerated his movements suddenly breaking away from the bear then closed in once more.
Using the new found space he once more slashed at the bear twice leaving a huge 'X' mark across the bears front.
-66 -74
Still the bear did not fall as he moved once more to the side of the bear cutting at the bears thigh with killing intent.
-78
Circling towards the bears back once more the cool down for [Chop] finished and Alex thrust out with all his current strength.

[You have killed Great Brown Bear lvl 7. Gained 2000 xp.]
[You have have gained x2 Bear Hide.]
"Not bad, onwards."
Storing away the bear hide, Alex carried on into the depths of the forest. Although there seemed to be an eerie feeling of danger leaking from the surrounding's of the forest. Alex journeyed on stealing his nerves as he focused on blending in with the terrain.
Skills worked differently to what one might think. In The World Of Divinity skills could be raised through continuous usage yes. However, for the experts skills were mainly raised through understanding of principle. This meant that the user had to truly understand how and when to use a certain skill if they wanted to correctly increase their skills level.
A skill had certain brackets as level 1-3 where for novice usage. Level 4-6 where for beginner usage. Level 7-10 where for apprentice level usage. Past that level 11-20 where for Experts.
The different brackets gave the user hidden advantages like higher damage if it was a attack skill for example. Or for stealth it reduced presence as well as cloaked the player in a invisible layer of reflection that allowed players to mask into surroundings easier. At a high level they where basically invisible if you didn't know what you were looking for.
Alex who had the experience of a max out basic stealth skill was utilising this outing to raise the skill fast. Steading his breath with the wind, calming his heart, using the shadow's to his advantage and cloaking his sounds to a minimal. All hidden requirements to raise his skill level fast.
[You have levelled up basic Stealth skill to Lvl 2.]
With a sudden warmth Alex felt his presence decrease as his smell seemed to vanish. Now when moving forward he'd be unnoticed to those beasts that specialised in detection.
Feeling much better about his current situation Alex quickened his pace as he closed in on the area where the hidden quest was located. As he reached an opening in the midst of the forest a parting of trees was cut out. A huge rock laid in wait with a single treasure chest sat atop. Guarding the chest was a sleeping panther.
The size of a adult male with define muscles and teeth made to kill. Alex looked on watching as it yawned and licked its paws in boredom. This beast right here was without a doubt a natural born predator.

Unfortunately the awesome loot, and powerful magics that came from him drew the attention of many nations. During a brutal siege in which the elven nation tried to defend against the Southern dwarven kingdom, a rogue human faction snuck in and shattered RJ's core. Now the dungeon town is a burned ruin, the magnificent hundred level dungeon has colapsed, and in a tiny lonely crack, a shard of RJ remains. Lacking access to any of his old monsters or abilities, can he ressurect the dead dungeon? more importantly, can he stop the sentient races from discovering and fighting over him once again if he does?

8 145Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. Book 1 is complete. Book 2 is complete and coming out M-W-F. The complete book 2 is available on Patreon
