《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 Legendary Ghost Hunter
Thousands of years ago, the First Expungement came. The world changed, and humanity was nearly wiped out. Thankfully, with the paracausal power of Angelicas, humans was able to push back the Ghost tide and rebuild their civilization. Now, however, it was time for the Second.

Now, the third and final round was approaching — and this time, it's personal.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
