《Ascension Game》13th Entry - Fight
Advertisement
We take the path and reach the top; here is the cage that I saw earlier, and inside is a teleporter, just like the one we took to come here. Ashley and I get really excited, but we quickly realize that the only door leading inside is locked. The large bars are made of metal, and there is no opening at the top. I guess the Black Knight probably has the key. I lie down and wonder how I could defeat such a strong foe. Neither my ax nor Ashley’s arrows could pass that heavy armor. I stay on the ground, demoralized. We eat our lunch at the top of the rock, and I suddenly get an idea. I finish my sandwich and ask Ashley to wait here. I find the heaviest rock I can lift in the forest and carry it to the top. Here I place it right on the edge and ask Ashley to give it a push; it falls directly on the ramp. I mark the impact point and carry the rock back on edge. I tell Ashley about my plan, and after a few questions, she agrees to it. I look for a dead tree in the forest to make a rudimentary shield. I use my ax on one that seems suitable.
When done, I tell Ashley to get ready. I place myself not very far from the rock and scream the louder I can. I repeat the process for a few minutes when I finally hear some noise; that’s a wolf. The beast is barking and growling at me but stays at range. I hear no other wolf coming. After another minute, the Black Knight emerges from the bushes. I slowly retreat toward the rock while remaining alert; The Knight orders its dog to attack by pointing at me. I slash the beast dead as it jumps; it seems that I mastered the timing. It angers the Black Knight, who raises his spears above his shoulder. I immediately flee out of its range; when I reach the ramp, I let go of my ax to pick up the wooden shield. The Knight followed. I slowly move back while holding the shield, the enemy advance toward me, ready to throw his weapon. When he reaches the mark, I step forward to be in its range. The Knight throws his spear; it cleaves my wooden protection and pushes me down. Before I can look up, I hear a loud collision noise. The foe has taken the rock right on the head, and it broke his neck. The Black Knight falls dead on the ground; our plan worked.

Ashley takes a peak from above: “Is he dead?” After a few seconds, the body of the Black Knight dissolves into black smoke, leaving an empty armor on the ground. At that moment, a bunch of text appears in front of my eyes: “Boss defeated,” “Augmented Vision Unlocked,” “Inventory Unlocked.” I guess from Ashley’s screams that the same thing happens to her. I say: “I think it’s definitely dead.” Ashley joins me, and we hug with excitement; I lift her while rotating. After I put her down, we exchange a sensual kiss. Her face turns red, and she looks away. I try to pick up the spear, but a strange thing happens; my hand passes through it as if it was an illusion. A small text appears: “Reserved loot: time remaining 30 minutes.” Ashley manages to pick up the spear; I understand that the system has split the Black Knight’s items. I can touch the armor and get a different text: “Heavy Black Armor – Pick Up / Equip.” I select the “Pick Up” option with my hand, and the piece of equipment illuminates, then disappears. A black key is left on the ground; I grab the tool and show it to Ashley. We walk up the ramp and use it on the cage’s door; it disappears inside the lock. The door opens shortly after; we have access to the teleporter. I ask Ashley: “Where do you think it leads ?” She responds: “It better send us back so I can take a god damn shower.” We quickly grab our stuff and prepare to enter the cage. We hold each other hands and step inside the teleporter.

If she loses, she’ll be consigned to a mundane life, but more importantly, banned from the arena forever. Kiriai can't let that happen. Combat Origin is the first book in the World of Combat, young adult, dystopia series. If you like strong heroines, gamelit/litrpg and a good brawl, keep reading. Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters. (non-Gamelit - because the gaming AI hasn't been found yet) Now, Book 5 has been finished and posted on Amazon, which allows me to leave a 10% sample here. The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi. I'm hoping to connect with readers and improve my storytelling. -- Misty :) https://www.amazon.com/author/mistyzaugg https://mistyzaugg.com/
