《Luck is a Charm》Testing Out
Advertisement
Although Zhen said about fighting Aaron for a servant, in reality, he simply wanted a training dummy so he could test his new moves out.
After studying from the book a bit, Zhen wants to try out a new possible application of magic such as making his body transparent to avoid incoming attacks and then counterattack right away.
Zhen was thinking about testing this theory out and right when he wants to find a person to train.
A fool appeared in front of him in the perfect timing when Zhen was thinking about it.
It's like everything is fated and destined for Aaron Flare to have this honor and duty to get beat up by Zhen.
Therefore, Zhen intentionally provoked him to not disappoint fate in pulling this string, and since Aaron Flare also pursues his Sara before.
It gives him more excuse to beat him up and his face is the kind that's asking for a thrashing to top it off.
This will be Zhen's warning for him while getting a free servant who has a powerful figure behind.
Aaron Flare didn't know about Zhen's intention at all and simply wanted to beat him up for disrespecting him.
Not only that, his crush is now taken which stabbed his heart deep. However, if Aaron came to know that the person who stole his crush is the person in front of him.
His reaction would have been priceless but it's a shame that he was away from town and only got back now.
Thus, Aaron is completely in the dark while everyone else in town knows about Zhen's facial features since he was in multiple spotlights due to recent events.
"Let's start!"
Aaron voiced out loud as he began to cast his magic only to be interrupted by Zhen.
"Wait, before we start fighting, are there any rules or restrictions?" Zhen remained calm when he spoke those words.
"There's no restriction and you can use any ability to win and for a victory to happen, either one of us surrender or unable to battle."
"Ok, let's swear to heaven on the bet so we cannot renegade on it," Zhen replied as he heard Aaron's word that they could use any ability.

Zhen has so many cards and tricks to get Aaron Flare under his feet.
Not to mention, the book he read has mentioned about swearing to heaven is an extremely serious promise of one's honor as they would be ruined if they failed to fulfill the commitment.
Zhen can't help but smile like a devil in his mind at how beautiful the next scene would occur.
'Getting to test my moves out and a free servant as the icing on the cake. Can't I be any luckier than that?'
Meanwhile, Aaron Flare was shocked by Zhen's mention of swearing to heaven but didn't care much as he believed he would win.
Once they both swore to heaven, Zhen knew the fight was about to begin.
As soon as someone shouted "Start", Aaron instantly cast multiple chains of magic while Zhen continued to stand still.
Zhen was analyzing Aaron's magic and determined the mana it's producing is around a peak-rank 3, it's close to becoming a rank low-rank 4 magic if he had concentrated harder.
As the flame combusted and was approaching near Zhen.
Zhen manipulated the mana in his body to turn transparent and completely focused as he closed his eyes to increase his concentration since failure means a direct hit on him.
*Whooosh*
The flame that Aaron launched passed through Zhen's body like it was air and not concrete.
*Kabooooom*
The flame that passed through Zhen's body continued to move at a fast speed and collided with a wall behind Zhen, which blasted the wall into tiny pieces of debris.
"What just happened?"
"I don't know, I just saw Aaron's flame passed through that kid's body."
"How is that even possible?"
The bootlickers that were spectating couldn't comprehend what just happened. They were all in disbelief at how Aaron's flame just went through Zhen without the impact of the combustion.
Meanwhile, Aaron was shocked and confused about how his magic didn't even hit on Zhen.
"Wait, it can't be the transparent body armor where you have to attain proficiency in the water element to transform your body."
"Oh, but I just did that so unless you want to be in denial then I can't help you."

Only a while did they understand the process but Zhen didn't care about their reaction as he started his counterattack.
'Only a fool would wait for his opponent to regain his composure.'
Zhen flashed right in front of Aaron and combusted his palm with the wind and water to churn on his stomach to make him vomit and disabled for the time being.
*Bam*
Aaron was sent flying as he couldn't block the attack in time.
"Arghhh," Aaron couldn't help but hold his stomach with both hands while clenching his tummy real hard because of the impact from Zhen.
Alas, he couldn't control the power being agitated inside of his stomach and Aaron barfed a huge disgusting load.
*Blaaaaarggghhh*
The crowd watching Aaron's vomit couldn't help but close their eyes and turn around as they feel the urge to vomit as well.
The scene was extremely disgusting that made one nauseous and the bootlickers regret watching it and wished to erase that from their memory.
While Aaron continues to vomit, Zhen doesn't care as he chants another spell which is around the high-rank 5 category on him.
"Will you admit defeat or shall I continue to launch this attack onto you." Zhen calmly spoke with a smile hanging on his face.
Even so, the crowd could only think of it as the 'devil smile' and noted to themselves to not mess with Zhen or offend him.
They don't want to feel what Aaron has experienced and looked like a fool in front of everyone.
Aaron's eye turned bloodshot after Zhen's sarcastic remark but he couldn't do anything. He had overestimated himself while underestimating his opponent.
"I-I admit defeat."
Aaron clenched his teeth and his hand turned into a fist despite how unwilling he was. He was arrogant and cocky because he has the capability to be.
It was only until now that he finally recalled his father's word.
'There's always a higher mountain in this world so never underestimate a person by their appearance. But through their conduct.'
Although Zhen doesn't know what Aaron's thinking except that he has indeed admitted defeat despite being unwilling to accept the results.
Zhen can't help but note this to himself as he has judged him far too quickly.
'Unlike Situ Sheng who is completely hopeless, this Aaron Flare knew when to admit defeat and could be saved.'
Zhen nodded his head and said, "Good, don't forget you're my servant now and don't worry, I won't make you do anything outrageous and it will be something within your capabilities."
Aaron didn't reply and simply nodded as there was no way he could get away since he swore to heaven.
"Anyway, how much gold you have on you now," Zhen asked him once Aaron got up to get away from that vomit area.
"I have around 70 gold as I didn't bring much today since I want to study at the Holy Library today," Aaron replied without knowing why Zhen asked him this question.
"Good, hand me 50 golds as I'm broke."
Zhen decided to take around 80% of his money and as he believed Aaron should be a wealthy kid since Aaron said he only brought around 70 golds.
Aaron didn't say anything and handed the gold before leaving.
He didn't want to stay here any longer as he was embarrassed about his vomiting which ruined his entire image as a prodigy.
'Sweet, this servant of mine is indeed worthy. I shall forgive your past in pursuing my Sara as who in their right mind wouldn't try to win her heart.'
Zhen happily thought about this before thinking about meeting up with Sara later on.
With the money he just took from his victory battle, Zhen preferred this kind of earning method.
'Hopefully, I get to meet more of Aaron's kind in this town. Earning money would become so easy.'
Being rich now, Zhen can treat Sara to Lily's Mirage since he promised to bring her there when he has the money.
Zhen always keeps his promise to a beautiful woman and always reneges on his promise to males.
'Don't call me shameless since I'm only staying faithful to my heart belief.' Zhen happily starts to skip in his step to meet up with Sara for some lunch.

Tales of the Implock - A LitRPG Monster Evolution Story
Nyx - A demon, weak and small, too fleeting of a creature to survive the infernal wastes in which he was born - but after multiple brushes with death, the otherwise inconsequential demon experiences a destiny-changing encounter with an unknown and eccentric god, foreign to this world. Cast from the domains of old and conspiring gods to a land of which is sheltered from the divine, beyond the reach of whence they scheme, the impling who soon would come to be known far and wide as Nyx will find a new purpose. Born of Pride, with the fires of ambition fanned and burning deep within, Nyx will grow, learn, and evolve. From a weak and pathetic impling, to that of a mighty arch demon of untold demonic power, nothing would stand in the way of his ascent. Yet, the yearn of power might not be the only thing the power-manic demon will come to desire as he will encounter others who might just matter as much to him as the ecstasy of power does. [Info]This story features a wide breadth of characters with unconventional views, morals, and actions. There is no black and white - there is only grey. In a world where strength rules, notions of good and evil blur. The protagonist of this story is not a hero. He is not human. He is a megalomaniac demon trying to find his place in the world of which he has been discarded. This novel is my first crack at making something serious, a piece of work I can be proud of. It is a part of a bigger universe that I am creating, The Aethos, and I fully intend for this story to be professionally edited, then self-published on Amazon. The novel will continue on for a long adventure, as each arc will be made into a proper book. Therefore I heavily encourage feedback and interaction. Anything to improve my story and my writing is greatly appreciated. Thank you, and welcome to the Aethos. [Schedule] - Five chapters a week. [Discord] - Here

In the world of Terrae, there are infinite possibilities. Swords, bows, magic and more all exist on this world - complete with fantasy-esque races and monsters. In a RPG-like environment, James and the others from his world must grow and adapt fast or fall before the hordes of monsters infesting their new home.

Follow James in his journey to discover these things himself, as he has no clue either. After all, he has just been Taken from his world, and is expected to adapt and thrive in a whole new place. Good luck to him, anyway! All credit for the awesome cover goes to ssddx, who did a brilliant job putting it together, as I'm sure you can all see! I will note that, as pretty much all LitRPG novels have, that, to a certain extent, I have taken inspiration from other works I have read. This, however, is an original fiction. I hope any and all of you who read this fiction enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoy writing it, and please feel free to comment - I recognice that this will need work and will have things like typos - please feel free to point out any obvious things I forget about or miss out, as well as any typos. Also, feel free to lob suggestions my way if you have any - while I may not use them, they could very well inspire me in some way or another and help me improve this fiction, even if just by a little bit.
8 154Neos Online (Hiatus)
Every person has a tale. A story with which a person defines the world around them. Yet the question remains, is it the person who defines the world, or the tale itself? In the case of Elijiah Pierce, it is a question that many don’t really understand the answer to. His story was thought to have ended with the ending of the Third World War. A retired super-soldier who wished to live in peace is brought back into the worlds tale as his memories threaten to overwhelm him. With psionic individuals on the rise throughout humanity, the United Worlds Council asked for a company, any company, to help deal with them. With the turning of 2234, Corellec Inc introduces a new sort of entertainment for the billions within the Sol system. A game built upon DDVR, or Deep Dive Virtual Reality. A realm built within the net allowing the players to have their playground. This would, in essence, help solve the problem. With his friends and family wishing him to try something to deal with his problems, he finds himself venturing into the virtual realm of Neos Online. The very game that had been in the process of gathering players for its Beta. It would come to pass that not only would this game change him, but it would also be changed by him. For both machine and man harbor secrets that could change the course of human history, and not every secret should be brought to light. --------------------------- I'm shite at writing synopses, so just give it a try and see if you like it. I do not claim ownership of the cover art, it is just a stand in until I can commission a piece.
8 67Having a Common Game Ability In Normal Life
As long as i can remember, i can see something other people can't see Yes, on the top right of my vision, i have something that looks like a map, does it useful? how does something that blocks 1/32 of my vision to be useful? Does it have to be useful.. right? As i get older, this looks like "mini-map" in a video game that i played, so i decided to call this Mini-map at least I'm not the only one with this kind of thing.. from what I've found, everyone has different ability, for example my little sister can see another person status, there's a person that can heal wounds by eating meat, there's a person that once a day can spin roulette to get reward, there's a person that can jump twice in the air and there's a person that can throw fireballs..... wait a minute!? the story will be slow, since i just write this to train my english anyhow the idea of this story will be if someone can throw a fireball does their hand burns? if someone can jump for 30m can they survive the fall? if a bard play a song that can regen their allies, why’s the enemy isn’t regenerating? if a cleris creates a barrier can their allies attack from inside barrier? and About the first few chapter i know the grammar was really bad but it’ll help me if you guys read the first few chapter and go straight to the last and tell me have i improve or not P.S i hope The world has “common language” feature so everyone speak in the same tongue lol
