《Cyberblade Plasma》Chapter 8: Special Dungeon! The Snake Pit! I
Advertisement
“Geez its smells horrible in here!” Ken said. He wiped the disgusting snake drip off of his clothes rising to his feet.
He looked down the huge tunnel that was the snake's stomach. There were multiple pathways, moats and even bridges inside of it with strange looking snake creatures meandering around. He could see a large door at the end of the room with a lock on it. From what he could see, it looked less like a stomach of a snake and more like, a dungeon.
“You just had to race that girl didn’t you?” Maya yelled smacking him in the head.
“Huuhh? How is this my fault! You’re the one who decided why we should go to a place with a level 99 snake! Just what were you thinking?”
“Don’t put this on me you perv! You’ll do anything to see a woman won’t you! Anything at all!”
“That’s… not true!” Ken said, crossing his arms. “I’ll do anything to see a naked “Juicy” Woman!” He said curling his fingers.
A screen popped up in fron tof them

“What, we’re in a dungeon? Who the hell is brain?”
“I don’t know but we better figure something out.” Maya said
“Our hp bars are slowly dropping.”
“Wait… what!”
Ken HP 1800/1890 Maya HP 6300/6482
“We’ve got no time to waste! Let's move!” Maya instructed.
Grabbing Ken's hand she ran down one of the multiple corridors that branched from the snake’s stomach. As they rounded the corner a huge venomous snake latched out at them.
“AHHHHH!!!!!” Maya yelled
LVL 45 Crystalis Serpent Health Resistances Mob level Instakill moves 10,000 Elemental 30 0
”Cyber slash!” Ken yelled, slicing at the snake.
The snake was knocked back crashing into a wall. It got up shooting a venomous attack at Ken.
Ken waited for the attack to reach him, and the last second he dashed avoiding the attack.
HP 500/1890
“WHAT WHAT THE HELL! I totally dodged that!” He yelled.
“That was a targeted attack! It’s not dodgeable!” Maya yelled. Hiding in a corner.
“What? There are undodgeable attacks in this game?”

“Yes! Not by human players but there are many monsters that have abilities that can’t be dodged they must be blocked! And you know how to block right?”
“Yeh I just raise my sword right? That's what I've been doing so far.”
“It's more complicated than that, in this game to block all you have to do is stop moving for example put the sword down and let that snake attack you! Just don't move or you'll die?
Ken did as she instructed, standing in place as the snake attacked him.
“Wait then what have I been doing this whole time?” Ken asked
“Blocking reduces an attacks damage by 90%, the second type of block, called weapon block, is done by holding your blade towards an attack, the amount of damage it absorbs changes from weapon to weapon! I think your cyber blade does 90% mitigation!”
“No way!”
“There’s more! You can combine the two blocks together and become invincible! If you don’t move and also sword block you will reduce damage even further!”
“Wow! That’s crazy!”
“Why doesn’t everyone just stand still then?” Ken asked. “Well for three reasons, first a normal block cannot block special attacks! Only a weapon block can! Second, your weapon block must match the direction of the attack! And third, you cannot perform a weapon block after using a special attack! There is a cooldown! Even if you manage to weapon block, it will be counted as a regular one!”
“I see!” Ken said facing the snake. So basically I need to weapon block all of this things special attacks and stand still for its normals, all while countering in between!” Ken said
“You got it!” Now show the snake who is boss!”
The snake slithered over to Ken its hp bar began to flash red.
“That’s a special attack! Weapon guard!” Maya yelled
The snake bit down as Ken blocked it with his sword.
“Now it’s my turn!” Ken said. “Cyber slash!” He yelled, slashing the snake across the room.
“I wonder” Ken thought
“Cyber slicer!” Ken yelled, following up his attack with the Slice.
“Amazing!” Maya said. “After you use a special ability on someone, they become staggered! The only way they can block your next attack is if they perform a just guard! In other words they have to time their guard just as your second attack is coming!”
“I see!” Ken said upper cutting the snake into the ceiling. “So it’s just like when I was grabbed!”
Advertisement
“Yes! Grabbing someone puts them in a stagger state except its much worse! You have to perform a just dash after it! In other words you cannot guard it! Also the stagger effect can be chained endlessly! So one grab could turn into 10!”
“I see…” Ken said. Ken said “Actually there’s something else I want to try!”
“Activate duo blade mode!”
“You don’t have to say that! You can go into that mode without shouting that!”
“I know it’s Juicier this way” Ken laughed
The snake spit another venomous shot at Ken that drifted towards him.
Ken ran towards the snake, without batting an eye.
“Wait what you are doing!” Maya said “You can’t block that!”
The blob flew towards Ken coming inches away from contact. With a swish of his sword he sliced through the attack clearing his path to the snake.
“Hehe Juicy”
“What?” Maya said, confused.
“Just like I did with the missile! If you have good enough sword skills a basic attack can actually cut and through a special one!”
“But that’s so risky! If you miss you essentially die!” Maya said
“Who cares about that? It’s just a game Maya!” Ken said laughing
“Now that I’m in close range I can use the new skill!” Ken yelled “The ability usable only in dual blade mode!”
“Eraser!” Ken yelled.
Nothing happened
The snake whipped its tail at Ken sending fallen backwards.
HP 75/1890
"Sexy Babe!" Ken yelled
"Yes master!"
"Why didnt my attack work! I activated dual blade mode just like the description said!"
"Master did you read the rest of the descryption?"
"Huuhh?"
"Eraser is amove that erases any enemy with less than 25% health, if they opponent is over 25% or is out of the range of the attack it has no effect."
"WHATTTT!" Ken yelled
"You idiot!" Maya yelled "You need to pay attention to the game! Now your about to die!
“Hehe, now that you mention it my health’s getting kind of low, can you give me a healing item?” Ken asked
“Ken in Cyberspace there is no healing in dungeons! The only way to heal is to defeat a monster!”
“What!”
“So if you don't defeat that thing soon! You're going to lose the Cyberblade!”
"WHHHAAAATTTT!!!"
“Hehehe man that little shit went runnin didn’t he!” Baad said laughing. Evil sat beside him at the top of the restaurant that was covered in flames. Laughing softly they eached cracked open a bear bathing in the chaos.
“Hehaaa yeh he did! He’s lucky his buddy showed up or I would have…”Eviill began
The two were interrupted by a blue glow of light that landed at their location. A man with long dreadlocks, stepped out of th elight with a pistol in each hand.
“You two seem to having a good time… I didn’t interrupt did I?” The man said

“....J...Joey!!” Baad said “Wha...what are you doing here!” Eviil said stuttering
“Heh, hiring you two bozos may have been a mistake?” He said. "Maybe I should collect the bouunty on your heads and call it a night" He said pointing his guns at them.
“IT... it wasn’t out fault it was Jin! Yeh Jin showed up and protected him!” Baad pleaded
“Well, I don't see Jin anywhere around here? What are you two idiots doing now?”
“Uhhh” Eviil said putting away his beer
“If I'm not back in my milloin dollar apartment, sippin on whiskey and sun chips by the end of the day, You two are gonna go from baad and eviil to dead” He said quickly switching his guns. The change was so fast it was impossible to even see the movement of his hands.
"And deader"
“But sir we have no idea where he is?”
“Tsk! You two are useless! Haven’t you been reading the group chat?”
Message from Bison I just saw the kid get swallowed by a snake. I didnt see the report for a death so it looks like he's still alive. I'll mark my location. Looks like I'm going into the belly of the beast.
“No way! Bison is going after that kid! He’s as good as dead!”
“I need you two to follow up, I can’t have any mistakes understand?
“Yes Joey!”
"Ken Oroboros" Bison said. He looked into the eyes of the giant serpant as it devoured him.
"My ticket out of this hell."

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
