《New World: The path of an avenger》Chapter 5: Party
Advertisement
Finally, fifth and last floor, this school have in total 5 floors, my sis' classroom is on this one, mine on first, I'll firstly look for her, hopefully she's still alive, then proceed to the the first floor, look for this hell's exit, although I'm not sure if out there is any better, probably not.
"huu... Hey."
'Oh yeah, the Lolita is here, I almost forgot about her existence, although she is pretty, she doesn't really have a strong presence, maybe it's a problem with her small stature?'
"So, wha... What's your name?" - The Lolita asked me a quite dumb question, she's probably pretty nervous.
"You can just use "Identification" on me, if you want to know my name, aren't you a player yet?" - I think I was a little rude, oh well, what can I do, my social's skills have never been any good.
"So, sorry, Kosuke."
"My sister used to study on this floor, I'll be looking for her from now on." - A little rude again, oh well, she'll get used to this anyway, I don't have time to play the gentleman role after all.
"Oh, do you have a sister? How's is she like?"
"A troublesome girl."
Title Acquired! - Antisocial
You have proven yourself to be a total failure in human
relationship.
+ 5% Wisdom while not in a party
'Wha!! What the fuck, I know I'm no good, but isn't this a little too far? Is this game mocking me? Oh wait, this thing has a party system? Indeed amazing, but how can I use it?' I suddenly felt information gathering in my mind.
"Invite Kaiya Inoue to party." - I said while looking at her, waiting for her response, her face was showing a surprise reaction.
"I accept it."
I couldn't really feel any difference, but according to the system, we'll be sharing exp from monsters now, although the exp will still be proportional to the contribution done, better than nothing I guess.
"You are just level 2 right now, I'll be doing the killing, stay at the rear for now, when you are strong enough, you'll try kill some monsters too, for battle experience, ok?"
"All right, thanks!" - She was smiling at me, such I beautiful smile, I wouldn't mind look at this scene forever.
"Let's go" - I started walking left, moving closer to my sister's classroom, that was about 50 m away from me. When I was half way, I saw a weird thing that resembles a ratman walking in my direction, hey hey, please, go back to the sewers.
"uuuuugh" - I'm not sure if this Lolita named Kaiya is scared or found it gross, not that it really matters, it'll be hard to transform this little girl in a warrior.
Ratman - Level 7
140/140
I threw a Fireball then ran to him, closing our 7 m distance in a flash, slashing his torso with my katana, ending his life, what an insane damage, my Fireball alone did almost 70% damage on his Hp, really incredible, Kaiya jaw was almost on the floor.
"Woooow, so strong!"
"Don't come too close, this classroom must be their spawn point." - As I turned right I saw so many ratmen that I simply could not count! Oh my god! rat's reproduction capabilities are not to be underestimated!
I ran away, grabbed the Lolita that was still surprise with the turn of events, running to the stairs while throwing all my available skills at the ten or so ratmen that were chasing me, I could see real fear stick in her face. I couldn't run anymore, going downstairs wouldn't really do any good, since I could end up at attracting their attention to the newbies over there, they would just end up dying, and going to the right side could lead me to another monster's spawn, and I'd be sandwiched between monsters, that would be certain death, at least the Lolita would certanly die.

I placed Kaiya on the stairs, she was trembling too much, sorry, I can't comfort you right now. I faced the ratman group and counted 7, 3 died from my little desperate attack, the closer monster was 5 m away from us, I couldn't drag this on, since Kaiya is right behind me
I cast 2 Arcane arrows at him, his HP went down to 0, just 6 more to go. I threw myself on the next ratman, I was holding my sword on my chest line, it pierced his heart, he started screaming but I didn't stop there, I slashed my sword vertically, his body wasn't able to resist my immense strength and he end up cut in half from the chest to the genital organ (urgh), his blood splashed all over me, yucks.
I had no time to waste, I pushed his body backwards, colliding with the ratmen close to him, he lost his balance and I didn't let the chance go, casting 2 Arcane Bolts on him and ending his life.
A ratman was able to get pretty close to me and swung its claws direct on my face, but I was too fast for him, and easily dodged it, then cut his hand off, he didn't stop and decided to kill me using his other good hand, but I cut his neck open before he could even get half-way from me.
3 more, the remaining ratmen started showing fear signals, sometimes I can feel human feelings from them. I didn't think too much about it, and cast another Fireball, that damaged 2 at once, throwing them off balance, I cast 1 Arcane Bolt for each, and their HP disappeared, the last one didn't seem to have any fighting will left, I simply beheaded him and finished the job, proceeding to collect my rewards.
"Sooo strong" - The Lolita was looking at me with those amazing peaks and sparking eyes, her innocent face was quite arousing, hey, this way I won't be able to resist you know.
"I leveled up, went from level 2 to 4, wow, so amazing, hey, how should I distribute my status points?"
"depends how you want to fight from now on, if you want to strengthen our party, something to tank or a healer would be better, but I don't recommend them, since you'd be useless alone." - I didn't want to trick her, and decided to say what I really thought would be better for her future, not that any of us had something so nice to call a future.
"We, well, if we make a party forever, maybe I could be a healer, if you could protect me from now on." - Wha, What, that sounded like a proposal, I'm like starting to imagine things, anyway, a priest to heal me would be pretty good, since I have high damage, but non-existent defense, if we were to fight together, it would benefice both of us.
"Ok, so you should prioritize upgrading you wisdom, secondly your intelligence, agility and vitality. Higher wisdom will let you be able to cast heals more often, I don't have enough money right now to buy you a heal spell from the shop, try using it, when I buy it for you, try use it on me during a fight, you'll probably receive more exp.
"Thanks, Kosuke" - Said Kaiya while blushing.
"N, no problem, just put 6 point in wisdom, 4 in intelligence and vitality and 2 in agility okay?"
"All right! I'll do my best from now on, to get stronger and survive."

'Well, it seems I just got the healer I was looking for.' "I don't have money right now to equip you and give you a skill book from the system's shop, but I'll do it when I'm done with this respawn point, continue following me from a safe distance, all right? I'll be killing the remaining rats as soon as possible."
"Ok." With everything decided, I continued walking till the ratman spawn point, but before I could get there, some ratmen decided to leave their place and saw me. They looked at me and their friends corpses, I'm sure they are not happy about this, since they started yelling at me with angry faces.
I looked behind, checking on kaiya, she was much better than last time, maybe she'll get used to it faster than I thought. 2 ratmen were about 7 m away from me, I cast 2 Arcane Bolts on the closer one, killed him and proceeded to kill the next one, a slash right on his neck made his head roll.
Seeing their friends almost insta-killed, the ratmen halted their advance, I didn't let the opportunity slip away from my hands, and cast a Fireball, hitting 2 ratmen and pushing them backwards, colliding with the others, and setting them off balance.
I ran to them, my speed is already double of what it used to be, really incredible, I wouldn't even thing about running so fast before this system showing up. I closed a 9 m distance in less than a second, and cut 2 ratmen in half with a single horizontal slash, I couldn't use a my full strength, since this corridor wasn't exactly large, so I was able to cut the first one's torso in half, the second one was able to survive my attack, but it was still in critical condition, I pierced his heart, finishing his already low HP.
4 ratmen were looking at me with fear, it's possible that they have pissed their pants, anyway, not letting this chance go, I was able to cast 2 Fireball in the time they were day-dreaming, killing more 2 ratmen, only 2 left, but they didn't pose a threat to me at all, finishing them with my sword, I collected the loot and went straight to the ratman's room once again.
Their numbers were quite few compared to last time. I could count about 15 ratmen, all were weaponless but one that was behind them, that seemed to be a Elite monster, using a magic hat, robe, gloves, shoes and staff, hopefully he'll drop nice items to me ~~
The mage was the first one to attack, he cast a red circle with 1 m diameter below me, I wasn't going to wait on it to see what it is able to do, principally because of my low defense. It took less than a second from the time the mage cast the red circle till the time I could see flames erupting from it, I probably wouldn't die just from that, but thanks god I wasn't there, because I'm pretty sure I would lose at least 30% HP.
Wizard Rafi - Level 20
700/700
'What the fuck?! What's with this dammit rat, isn't it suppose to be a mage? why is this thing HP so ridiculous high? Serious~~' I didn't have time to think about this, since 3 ratmen were already moving close to me, but they were just small fries, better to finish them off before killing the big boss, since he will give me quite some trouble.
I killed the 3 ratmen in less than 7 seconds only using the sword, they weren't my opponents at all, but served as a good distraction, the wizard was already casting another spell, a Fireball was coming right at me, but it was almost twice as big as mine! What the hell!
I hastily moved my sword, in an failed attempt to block its attack, but, although I reduced the Fireball attack and speed, I wasn't able to block it completely, losing 18% HP, what the fuck, such high damage, it wasn't even a clean attack! My 228 HP seems like nothing right now, I decided to active my Arcane Barrier, but it wouldn't last long, since right now I have about 250 remaining MP, and each lost point in health will be equivalent to 3 points in my MP, so I have less than 100 additional HP, if I don't use anymore spells.
I went left, madly swinging my katana, I instant killed more 5 ratmen, the wizard shot another fireball at me, but I was expecting it this time, and gracefully dodge it rolling to the side. There were only 5 ratmen left, 2 ratmen tried to swing their claws on my back, but I was protected by my Arcane Barrier, too bad, I lost fucking 150 MP! Such dammit low defense is really a heavy toll on me.
I beheaded the ratmen that just attacked me, than dodged another spell from the wizard, when I brutally killed the remaining 3 ratmen, the Wizard Rufi was looking with blood-red eyes at me, scaring~~
He started channeling something using both hands, this sound bad, better try to interrupt his casting. When I was just a meter away from him, he finished his spell and aimed his hand at me, I wouldn't be able to dodge it anymore, so I just put my sword in his path, I saw a 1 m diameter blue fireball leaving his hand and coming in my direction, it collided with my sword, than engulfed it and came direct at me, I was pushed until my back hit the wall.
I could feel that my blade was pretty hot, but I didn't want to let it go, so I just endured it, my back was aching all over and my front was really dammit hot, I don't even know how I am still alive, only 22% HP left, but with no mana to use any skills, this is getting really complicated, I'm not sure if I'll be able to survive this, no, I WILL DEFINITELY SURVIVE THIS, I WILL NOT DIE HERE. Concentrate, I need to think straight.
I could feel my body and mind getting sharper, I could 'see' everything that was happening around me, I think I'm in the so called zone, my life is on the line, the wizard once again cast a Fireball on me, but It was too slow this time! I easily moved to the side and went straight at him, in an attempt to pierce his heart, that was pretty much successful, but weirdly enough, it didn't die, and just lost 35% HP, no, actually, it was pretty good, if his defense wasn't so low, and that attack haven't hit a vital point, I would never do such a high damage on this boss, good thing, my attack damage is really a cheat.
The wizard cast a Fireball at me, but my senses were still sharp, I removed my sword and dodged to the side, than slashed him 3 times, too bad, the first attack was a success, separating his right arm from his body, but he dodged my 2 last attacks, I'm not sure anymore if this thing is still a rat, maybe it's a monkey in disguise.
He created a distance of 2 m between us, and cast a Fireball right at me, I was slightly off balance and wasn't able to dodge it, with just my sword blocking it, I lost more 18% HP, leaving me with only 4% and no mana while the wizard still had I-Don't-Know how many MP and 38% HP left, this is indeed a shit situation.
I forced myself to calm, I could feel power surging with me, my senses were getting sharper and sharper, I'll overcome this life-and-death situation.

15% HP
Such a good skill, reflex will natural raise as I raise my agility, but it seems that I can gain it my skills, really nice, and right when I need it! The wizard cast another Fireball on me, but it was coming too slow, and I easily dodge it, moving to the side, then attack it with 3 slashes, my speed didn't improve at all, but my reflexes did, every time he tried to dodge it, I just had to adjust my sword's trajectory, leaving him no room to escape, and killed him on the spot.
Level up

Respawn Point destroyed
Such a nice sound, I went straight to level 15, that's just perfect, but I'm too tired, really dizzy right now. As I moved myself on the closest wall to rest, a little Lolita appeared and came close to me with a worried face, I'll just ignore her for now.
"Waaaaaaaa, What happend? Why is your life so low? I thought you were invincible. Hey Kosuke! Talk with me pleeeease, don't let me here alone" - 'Oh dammit what a talkative person, and here I thought she was shy.
"Calm down please, will you? I'm not dead, and I never said that I was invincible, I'm pretty far from that you know? Just go and take the monster's loot."
"O, ok."
'Some peace, thanks' - as She proceeded to claim the loot, I bought a Renew Potion I and used it, I could see lots of shinning golden pieces and items, I'm expecting a really nice harvest. When she finished, she sat down right beside me and leaned her head on my shoulder, we silently continued like that for the next hour, I think that maybe I had slept, I hope I didn't let her talking all alone.
"Hey, are you there Kaiya?" - The Lolita opened her big eyes and looked at me with a wonderful smile, so beautiful.
"Yes, I'm happy to know you are fine" - Hey, I'll end up attacking you like that, you know? I'm still a man after all.
"What level are you right now?" - I didn't want to do a lot of scene, and went direct to the point.
"I am level 8, I have already distributed the status points"
"That's good, I got 2500 gold for destroying this spawn point, what did you get from the monsters?"
"hu, about 10000 gold, 98% was from the boss, the small ratmen didn't let any item, but the boss dropped a full mage's set, with a magic staff and a skill book, here."
"Thanks" - Wow, what a nice boss, it dropped too many good items!

I decided to equip all the 4 new items, and give my gold 2 clothes armour to kaiya, since she will benefit the most from cloth armours as well. I stripped myself, and put my new clothes, I feel that I'm getting stronger and stronger, and I still have 40 status points to spend
"Wh, What are you doing?" - I looked on the sound's direction, Kaiya was really red-apple, oh yeah, I forgot, I had disposed of my old school uniform, and just had my underwear with me, anyway, I'll just continue and ignore her once again.
"Take it, these are your new armours, they should fit you, since this game's armours adjust to the person, and they are good to your chosen class." - I said as I threw the clothes over her.
"Th, thanks., huuu, can you look over there please?" - Oh, really, I'll go with it.
"Okay"
kaiya changed herself, it really suited her, so pretty, she was using the staff too, since I couldn't use it anyway.
"Hey, I equipped it, but I'm not getting anything from them, why is it?"
"Oh, yeah, I forgot you don't have enough level to use them, but don't worry, you'll soon have enough, I won't be gaining anything from my robe and hat for now too, just put up with it for now, till we level up some more."
"Okay."
"Here, take this, it is a skill book 'Heal' from the shop, it was 5000 gold coins, don't waste it please."
"Thanks, Kosuke" - Se said with a really pretty smile, and sweet voice.
"Let's go, my sis' classroom is just next door."

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.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
