《A Sleeping Dragon》Crisis
Advertisement
While Alfred was fighting one of the orc, the other four members were struggling against five orcs.
Jira took the front line while being support by the others.
The priest casted a protective spell to Jura and sometimes heal him.
Hina sneaked around and stabbed the orcs from behind.
The mage bombarded the orcs with Fireball.
Meanwhile, Keiman was throwing stone at the orcs.
It was better than nothing.
(The orc shaman hasn't come out yet.)
Keiman thought that while he kept throwing stone.
There was a situation like this before.
Because of wrong information, a party was wiped out by an orc horde controlled by orc shaman.
(Well I will feel bad if I let them die in front of me so maybe I'll help them when the time come.)
Jira was overwhelmed by the five orcs.
Wound started to appeared on him.
Thankfully there was a priest that could use healing spell.
However-
"Guaa!"
Healing spell couldn't replace stamina loss.
After attacked countless time, Jira felt tired.
And finally he took the club right on his stomach.
Jira was flying backward.
The priest quickly casted a healing spell on him.
But that couldn't save Jura from the approaching orcs.
When one of the orc raised its hand, suddenly there was a dagger that came out of nowhere.
The dagger slashed right at its wrist.
Puaaa!
The orc released the club on its hand roared loudly.
And it was at this moment that Alfred finally came.
He quickly positioned himself on the front line then shouted.
"We can win this! Take your position!"
""Yes!""
If they continued like this, they could win.
Right, they thought they could win.
However-
Kuaa!
Keiman, who was at the back, was hit by something.
He rolled on the ground for about five meters until he finally stopped.

"Hey, you okay?!"
When Blue Ocean looked closely, there was an orc there.
But more and more orc came out from behind the trees.
In the end, there were 20 orcs appeared.
The horde of orcs from before had caught up with them.
And not only that.
Behind them, there was on orc wearing tattered robe and holding a cane.
"What... the..."
"No way..."
Blue Ocean felt despair.
This was the biggest crisis in their life.
A crisis that decided their life and dead.
Keiman stood up slowly.
Wiping the blood from his mouth, he said-
"Leave this place to me. You all should escape."
These words shocked the member of Blue Ocean.
What can a rank E adventurer do when they, a rank D adventurer party couldn't do anything?
"Quickly go!"
"Bu, but..."
They hesitated.
If they escaped now, that means they would sacrifice a person life.
"Don't worry about me and just go!"
But no matter what, their life was more important.
Beside, the person himself said that, so they didn't hesitate anymore.
The member of Blue Ocean then run with all their might to the south.
Keiman was left alone.
Facing against 25 orcs and one orc shaman.
But Keiman still smiled.
Keiman didn't have Gift.
An ability given by god.
This ability was different from each person.
The ability of Gift varied from daily life to suitable for fighting.
The main point was that it was useful.
But, Keiman didn't have this ability.
A gift that should have been received by every people.
However, Keiman had a unique ability, or more like it was the fruit of his effort.
Keiman could copy the technique or skills of other peoples.
Even if it's from monster, Keiman could copy it.
As long as it could be used with human body, Keiman could copy it.

It was something that anyone could do if someone put effort into it.
However, most peoples usually learning their skills themselves and creating their own technique that was suitable with their Gift.
For example someone with sword related Gift would polish their sword technique.
But Keiman polished this ability to the next level.
He could copy the technique of his opponent while fighting.
And because Keiman observed his opponent carefully, he also knew the attack pattern of his enemy.
It was like killing two birds with one stone.
After taking his stance, Keiman kicked the ground.
He went to the nearest orc to him.
Keiman had seen a martial artist before, so he had copied his technique and skills.
Leaning to the side to avoid the club, Keiman sent a punch at the orc's solar plexus
The orc took a step back.
Just the Keiman heard the sound of air from his side.
He quickly jumped backward and then rotated his left foot to kick the second orc right on its head.
Not waiting for the orc to recovered, Keiman jumped again and twisted the neck of the second.
Krek!
With the sound of bone breaking, the orc stopped moving.
Meanwhile, the first orc swung its club diagonally from the left.
Keiman raised his right foot then kicked the hand that was holding the club.
The orc released the club but still tried to attack with its other hand.
With his right foot landed, Keiman rotated then raised his left foot this time.
Kicking right on the orc's face.
The orc fell backward facing the sky.
Not missing this opportunity, Keiman jumped then kicked the orc on its heart
"That's two down, come here all of you."
That all happened in an instant.
In reality, Keiman was stronger than what his adventurer rank suggest.
There was a reason that he stay at rank E.
Meanwhile, the other orcs quickly approached Keiman.

Leaves of Terranthir
DISCONTINUED - I won't be writing more of this fiction. Check out the latest post for a worlbuilding summary / final thoughts. Leaves of Terranthir is a gamelit blend of ARPG, action, fantasy, and slice of life. It's inspired in part by some of my favourite games, borrowing in themes, sense of exploration, and aesthetics from the Soulsborne and soulslike genre, mixed heavily with arpg itemization from Diablo/PoE style games. While many may remember their Soulslike experiences as nothing more than suffering, I personally loved the sense of progression, to prevail over challenges and monsters that seemed impossible to defeat at first. If any of that seems interesting to you, do check out the first chapter and let me know what you think. Cheers, and thanks for reading. Cover by Baconstrap.
