《Deity's Fragments [Paused]》Chapter 14 - Battle
Advertisement
The cricket was the size of a grown man's leg. It leaped forward, attacking Zack.
Zack saw the cricket attack, so he moved to the left, dodging the cricket; in turn, it launched an attack that failed to connect.
This insect was relatively fast and agile, but it wasn't something he couldn't handle without using his powers. This battle would be great to better hone himself in combat against monsters.
The cricket reached another tree and jumped back towards Zack. This time, he didn't dodge but charged straight at the cricket connecting with a slash.
The cricket fell to the ground while voting green-colored blood.
"Criiii!"
He jumped into a tree, then another, and started moving faster as he jumped into different trees. When he reached a speed fast enough to leave a mirage of himself, he attacked.
Zack couldn't see where the blow came from, so he took it full on. The collision caused him to roll a few meters, but he quickly regained his composure, used the speed with which he was moving, and with his hands propelled himself into the air giving a spin and then landing on his feet, still falling backward and leaving marks of his feet on the ground.
Zack activated his ocular ability and waited for the cricket's next attack. The cricket had to slow down the speed at which it moved to make a new movement pattern in the area where Zack had fallen.
Zack was amazed at this monster's intelligence; it could do some essential tactics in the fight, making it more difficult to battle.
The cricket had already marked its area, so it decided to attack from Zack's left side. As he attacked, Zack turned his vision and saw the cricket coming towards him.
He ran electricity down his arm directing it towards his sword as he took a step backward to make a crescent moon attack towards the cricket.

The electricity coursed through the sword and shot out, forming a crescent moon slammed into the cricket.
"Bzzz" *Electrical sound*.
"Criiiii" The cricket fluttered to the ground as it was electrocuted. Zack wasted no time and charged with both of his swords towards the cricket's head.
The cricket's head came off as green blood spurted from its limbs.
[You have killed a level 1 medium giant cricket.]
(Note: For AI, you use "[* *]," and for system voice, you use "[ ]")
Zack sat for a moment as his body trembled. He couldn't deny that he was afraid; it was his first battle, and this might even kill him, but he couldn't let fear win him the battle before cricket.
His mentality from this moment on would get stronger as he fought. He still played video games on his computer and rarely trained until not too long ago, when he got his skill, and everything started to change.
Zack gently slapped both of his cheeks and pulled himself together. He walked over to the corpse and, with one of the swords, opened the corpse and picked up a core-shaped object that was still moving.
It was dirty with green blood, so the only thing he could do was to clean it and then eat it.
Zack finished cleaning the core, but he still looked at it with disgust. He swallowed and closed his eyes as he put the core in his mouth and ate it.
To his surprise, it didn't taste bad; he even felt he could become addicted to the taste.
[Medium level 1 Giant Cricket Core consumed]
[1 to 10 attributes will be gained]
[+10]
Zack was surprised. No wonder it was difficult for him to fight the cricket; it was medium level. But what surprised Zack the most was the power of the thunder. He only used 50 energy points in that attack and left the cricket paralyzed. He also felt that he had barely used less than 1% of the lightning ability, this was a powerful ability, but he didn't have enough power to use it to its total capacity.

Beasts in the hunting area are divided into: (Low, medium, high and elite). In the first area, you will find level one and level two beasts. Currently, Zack had fought a level 1 medium beast.
'I have 50 points assigned and 10 unassigned attributes. In order to ascend to the hunting dimension 2, I need 600 power points. This is going to take a while before I can advance any further.' He said to himself.
'I have powerful skills, and I think I can continue hunting with the capacity I have now, my biggest problem is the level of consumption that these skills have, I will designate the 5 points to resistance and 5 to Mind to have better control and less consumption over the ability]
[*5 attribute points assigned to Endurance*]
[*5 attribute points assigned to Mind*]
'Can you do this too?" asked Zack in surprise.
[*I can help the master to no waste time with these things, but I can only do it when the master is willing to do it.*]
Zack nodded and opened his database.

Zack looked to the side and sighed. His backpack was ripped when he rolled, and everything he had in it was spread on the floor.
He walked over to the backpack and picked it up. It only had a few scratches, but it wasn't unusable; the hit had just ripped it a little. He began to gather his supplies and pack them. He ate a few meals so they wouldn't go to waste since they couldn't be put away again.
When he finished, he looked at the cricket's body for a moment, then closed his eyes, took a breath, and started moving through the trees again.
He ran for about 30 minutes and then started walking. Although he was an awakened one, he still didn't have enough strength to run for hours without getting tired.
As he was walking, he suddenly stopped behind a tree and put down his backpack. There were five blue-colored crickets ahead. These were sure to be low class. He couldn't be that unlucky to run into five high-class crickets together, which was almost impossible in this part. He unsheathed his two swords, and after waiting a few minutes, he found the time to strike.
One of the crickets had moved away from the others and was on a tree branch near Zack. He used the electricity to boost and jumped to the low tree branch attacking in a spiral with his two swords.
[You have killed low level 1 giant cricket.]
Zack had slashed the cricket next to its branch, but this made a noise that allowed the other four crickets to hear.
This time, he wasn't scared; he realized that they were low-class crickets. If he was in trouble, he could shoot out there, and these crickets couldn't stop him.
'I like this feeling of adrenaline rushing through my veins,' he thought.
Smiling, he moved and attacked the first cricket of the four to make his attack ...

A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die.

For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.
