《The World Of Divinity》Assassination
Advertisement
Focusing on the closest Lizardman, Alex gauged the possibility of eliminating him without drawing the attention of the other 11 Lizardmen.
Noticing that he was better off going to the other side to start assassinating them he activated [Stealth] then got himself into position cloaking his presence behind a strip of tree's.
Assassination in game was a peculiar system. The target had to be in a state of 'non battle ready' for extra damage to take place. This caused the assassins to have to be experienced in drawing targets and mobs out into the open and away from their packs to utilize their skills to the best.
As for Alex he was in grained with this to the point were he was almost programmed to operate in the smartest way for his class and tactics.
Picking up a pebble he muttered "This should do the job."
Whoosh* buh* bum*
As the rock hit the floor and bounced till it topped the closest Lizardman perked it's ears to the noise as it was munching on a raw rabbit with skin attached.
Standing to it's feet it neared the opposing tree to Alex as it went to checked behind the bush.
Alex monitored the rest of the Lizardmen and after noticing the rest of them weren't bothered he sneered before moving into the Lizardman's blind spot.
Positioning his body purposefully lower to the ground he approached the Lizardman with a steadied yet unhurried pace. Lifting his dagger [Nature's Wrath] grabbed the Lizardman's mouth before pulling it down towards his chest with force.
At the same time he took his dagger and sliced the Lizardman's throat in between the parting of scales and head.
-4200
Due to the 'non battle ready' state Alex was able to draw the multiplier from his dagger of x10 damage and due to it being a critical hit across the throat he caused a x15 [Bleed] to be applied.

Assassination drew every bit of strength from his dagger as he was guaranteed a critical hit from his approach to battle.
To finish of the Lizardman he followed up the slice to the throat by thrusting his dagger into the back of the Lizardman. Once again minding the spots for scales on the body to cause maximum damage and limited sound.
-867
[You have killed LVL 18 Draconic Lizardman. Gained 9500 XP.]
[You have gained x2 Green Scales.]
.
.
Tucking the body into the bush he made sure it wasn't sticking out.
"So it begins."
Alex knew from this point on he was on a timer. If the Lizardmen noticed a problem from the time their first teammate disappeared to present then Alex was going to have to fight all of them at the same time. Or possible worse they'd alert the rest of the hideout.
Moving to his next target Alex was already prepared for battle but his still didn't mess up his tempo. Throwing a pebble once again against the tree causing a dull sound to enter the Lizardman's ears.
In a almost repeated action he once again brought down the Lizardman in a professional fashion. Before hiding the body behind a tree. Although it wasn't completely hidden it was enough for now.
[You have killed Draconic Lizardman LvL 21. Gained 11000 XP.]
[Gained x3 Green Scales.]
[You have Levelled up!]
.
.
He repeated his actions two more times killing a level 19 Lizardman and a level 20. All before hiding there bodies.
Unfortunately for him his luck ran out as one of the higher level Lizardmen decided to spoil his plan and mess it up completely.
"Kyaaa" It called out in anger in it's draconic tongue.
Immediately the remaining 8 all came from different directions to the first body of the Lizardman. Seeing the body of their comrade cause them all to radiate intense killing intent.

"Kyaaah"
"kyaaaaaaah"
Roar after roar sounded out which caused Alex to act.
"I can't let them cry any longer otherwise it wont be 8 lizards I have to deal with it'll be 300."
Putting his hand into his bag he pulled a smoke bomb before throwing it from behind a tree towards the body.
Following it up he dashed towards the closest Lizardman.
Preforming [Flash Steps] like a phantom of death he appeared out of nowhere. Slashing down with his full force he activated the motion for [Backslash].
Shing*
Unfortunately he didn't have the time or advantage of perfectly being able to bypass the green scales on the Lizardman causing a screeching sound to alert the enemy.
Either way he applied a huge amount of damage with [Nature's wrath].
-3600
He was lucky enough to inflict his skill [Bleed] due to how big the cut was. -21 ticked per second but Alex didn't slow his speed for a second. He immediately used [Flash Steps] again as this time he had to dodge the onslaught of 2 Lizardmen coming to the aid of the Lizardman that he originally attacked.
Whoosh* whoosh*
As the Lizardmen attacked the air Alex took the opportunity to enter the smoke he threw down.
Finding a Lizardman solo he engaged him with his skill [Chop] in a frontal engagement.
Although it was hard to see for the Lizardman, he was a creature of intelligence and high adaptability. Noticing the air currents around him part at a rapid speed he raised his arms into a 'X' to block Alex's skill.
"Shit" Alex muttered not expecting the change from the Lizardman. He still didn't panic like others possibly would instead he slashed out again this time he subconsciously attacked with his breath technique in pair.
A small sliver of Mana appeared on his blade. Tinting his blade in a blue hue he slashed with a quicker more vicious speed.
-4000
A bone deep slice caused the Lizardman to cry out as his blockage that slowed down his attacker was ripped to shreds.
'Huh?' Not noticing what he did Alex was in disbelief before he heard a system notification.
[You have created a Hidden Skill 'Mana Blade']
[Congratulations! You have received +100 World Reputation for being the first to create a Hidden Skill].

Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.
8 218The Atropos Schema
Book 1 is now complete! NOTE: I'm adding the "Traumatising Content" tag because important characters are mind-controlled in this story. If you dislike reading about mind control, then this story is not for you. Summary: Tutorials. Monster invasions. Fantasy towns in a post-apocalyptic world. Follow Jarek Novak as he fights for survival with the “help” of his personal A.I. “To recap,” I said, trying to ignore my growing headache. “I have a mind-controlling parasite in my brain. The Atropos Schema is facilitating the destruction of my world as I know it, and if it discovers this parasite, then I’m as good as dead. Currently, my world is being overrun by monsters and soon other sapient species will fight for control over my world—unless they already control my world from the shadows.” Samantha said.
