《Return of Another End》Chapter 15: R&R Battle 2
Advertisement
Of course, Alexander was going to chase them. However, his action contradicted his desire.
He was rushing towards the closest skeleton, a melee. He ran whilst covering his soft spots under the hail of attacks of the range skeletons.
As the melee skeleton arrived in front of Alexander, he immediately de-limbed it. He didn't want a repeat of the previous meatless shield that kept attacking him.
With a new shield, he quickly dashed towards the closest cluster of range skeletons.
Like the knight of old, Alexander charged and impaled them on his Spellblade.
As the meatless shield crumbled, Alexander grabbed a skeleton stuck to his sword as a replacement.
***
As the last melee skeleton arrived, The scene of Alexander brutalizing its brethren greeted its black firey eyes.
Alexander dropped a mangled skeleton and looked toward the last survivor.
As the skeleton valiantly charged at him, Alexander grabbed it by the skull and lifted it. It shrieked and continuously struck his arms. Alexander ignored it as he caved its chest in with his hand. Grabbing onto its fragile crystal ore heart, Alexander pulled it out.
Tar-like spiderweb snapped as the skeleton motion slowed. Alexander glanced at his trophy, still beating and radiating with unholy energy.
After a second, he crushed it, ending the undead scourge before wiping his hands.

The soundtrack of war slowed to a stop, replaced by a quiet bow of a violin. The tranquil sound of a maiden masterfully playing her violin on a meadow, a meadow filled with swords and corpses.
The result of war. A war of supremacy, of ideology, of conquest. A war that the maiden and the soldiers died there know nought.
Hearing the soothing melody laced with sorrow that signalled the end of the battle, the exhausted Alexander collapsed on the boney ground. He inspected his gain.

Chibi Cillian appeared next to him on a Go-Cart.
Noticing his arrival, Alexander spoke without moving his body.
“Are you here to tell me that I should have killed those rangers first?”
However, Chibi Cillian shook his head.
“Nah, I’m here to congratulate you for thinking on your feet. After all, sometimes there is no best option. It’s how you deal with the hand you were dealt that’s important.”
Alexander tilted his head towards the Chibi.
Before he could ask about his garbage weapons, Chibi Cillian pulled out a unicorn onesie and dropped it on top of Alexander.
“What is this for?” Alexander lifted the pink coloured onesie in confusion.
Alexander attempted to scan it.

Alexander’s face instantly twisted. He glanced ominously towards Chibi Cillian.
“Ahem!” Trying to hold his laughter, Chibi Cillian replied. “The main body forbids me from giving you anything but cosmetic items that don't improve stats and only have party related passive.”

Chibi Cillian then hovered his Go-Cart by Alexander’s side and pointed at the onesie.
“That is one of many items the main body hasn’t used yet.”
Alexander squinted his eyes.
“Well, are you going to walk around like that?”
Alexander looked down to find himself mostly naked. His cheap tunic was torn apart in the fight.
“Don’t worry. The onesie was designed for mobility in mind.” Chibi Cillian pointed at the onesie’s belt. “You can hang your remaining flasks there.”
Knowing that he couldn’t continue naked, Alexander reluctantly wore the costume.
“Try and move around,” Chibi Cillian gestured.
Surprisingly, the outfit was extremely comfortable. It can even keep up with him at max speed.
“Test out its active too,” Chibi Cillian giggled whilst Alexander dashed around.
Fireflies like light balls emerged from his onesie. They hovered around, lighting up the area around them. They remained in place even when Alexander moved.
“Don’t stand in the same place for too long. They will accumulate and blind your eyes.”

[Gitter]
[Description]: I am Fabulous [Level]: Max [Toggle]: Light balls will emerge at the user’s location. They will hover in place for 30 minutes. [Cost]: 0.1 Mana/minute

Seeing that Alexander had familiarised himself with the outfit, Chibi Cillian gave him one last remark before disappearing.
“Use your free points. You will need it.”
Alexander noticed something was wrong. Chibi Cillian actually helped him.
He concluded that his next quest would be at least ten times harder.
Alexander decided to spend his free points.
+3 to Strength.
+6 to Agility.
+6 to Stamina.

As he clicked confirm, a rush of energy blasted out from his heart, enveloping the rest of Alexander’s body. He could feel that his body was improving to his new [Stats].
He reasoned that if the quest enemies are at least 10 times stronger. Endurance won’t do much for him. Agility and Stamina were more crucial.
He also noticed that Mana grew by itself, and he couldn’t edit it.
However, the arrival of the third quest soon broke his train of thoughts.

Before Alexander could plan out a strategy,
*BOOOM*
Something had landed near him.

{The Dragon Within} (Completed)
Meeting his fate at the hands of seven great heroes, the wicked drake now stands in Death's hall. Met with the Grim Reaper itself. Defeated and its pride broken, the drake doesn’t beg or grovel, it simply awaits judgement. It waits for the God of the afterlife to send it on its way, to either the heights of bliss and peace or where it knew it would be sent. The depths of agony and torture, the halls of Tartarus, the father of monsters. Grim looked up from its oaken desk and down at the creature that would have otherwise, if grown wiser and older, matched the reaper itself in power. Its faceless guise, hidden by a black hood and whirling shadows, it briefly stared at the drake. “You are unfit for the sky yet also too fit for the abyss,” Grim spoke, its voice a cracking whisper. “Your time came too soon, the actions you have taken will lead your world to ruin…Be reborn, pitiful serpent. Yet remember what you have done, see what your actions have made that realm into. Let me show you, how your greed and gluttony have warped such a wonderful place and time.” Grim raised its black-feathered pen towards the beast “Be reborn, as the weak pitiful creature you should have been born as. Take this both as a punishment and…a learning experience. For failure, can be the best teacher.” The drake took a step back, hoping to escape this cruel fate. Yet none escaped Death, less so its embodiment. Screaming shadows engulfed his form, ripping away at his body and shape. Fangs of darkness sinking deep into his draconic flesh, warping it, changing him into something else… Opening his eyes, the wicked drake felt none of its power, none of its magic and none of its might. As it stood at the edge of a cliff, looking down upon a ruined valley of rot and miasma. It glanced down at itself, seeing none of its sturdy scales or sharp claws. The drake had been reborn... As a Human. Will also be posting on CreativeNovels found here; CrN Where chapters will be posted earlier than RRL.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).

The Weaver's Wrath
Millennia have passed since the end of the God Wars. Mankind's heroes of these wars, the powerful Luminescents, have since become the rulers of the lands, relying on their ancestors' deeds to fuel their own ambitions. The Church itself has fractured since the death of their Goddess. Now it has shifted its focus to a new power - the descendents of the men and women who had received her blessing in the past - the Luminescents. However, with the death of the Goddess Selene, their own abilities began to lessen in quality with each successive generation, leaving them grasping desperately at whatever they can; money, lands, power. Sevrath was born in a time far different than that of ages past. Much of the continent was under the rule of the powerful Luminescent rulers. The Gods were dead and gone; the age of man had begun. Only the Desolate Lands lay unconquered and resolute, a relic of the power of Deimos, the God of Death and Destruction. So when he is found near the borders of the Desolate Lands, what does it mean? Is he some spawn of demon, like many of the townsfolk of Carthal believe, or something else altogether? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will not necessarily be something that is updated often. Book 1: The Weaver's Wrath Book 2: The Berserker's Burden Book 3: The Artificer's Absolution Book 4: The Guardian's Grace
