《The Bartender at the End of the Universe》Ch 177: Lying Just Beneath the Surface
Advertisement
Nugget pressed her foot against the wolf's nose as he flew into the air after her with his mouth wide open. Her leg shook under the pressure as she managed to keep just out of his reach.
Sparks erupted in the distance as the wolf's teeth flashed in the light. His eyes stared down at the chicken that refused to be eaten.
But he wasn't able to stare long as Nugget spun up over his head. Right behind her was the glowing green dagger as it traced circles in the air. The wolf closed its maw around the weapon while still in the air.
Nugget was still over his back as fresh sparks of electricity danced across the blade's edge.
"Fool! Leave that creature be and defend me!"
Soon after the voice rang out, the wolf landed on the ground. More sparks erupted into the sky in the distance, but the wolf's eyes focused on Nugget who was still floating in the air.
The wolf's mechanical parts glowed red as electricity arced over his body. Reluctantly, he turned his gaze away from the hen.
Bakade shredded through the metal of a pylon. It was nothing more than the bare bones of a metal tower and proved no problem to her vicious claws.
There were four large metal spires into the sky. Between them in a circle, were dozens of smaller ones that all had electricity arc from their tips between each other.
In the center of the circle was a metal oval. It looked like a pill that had been spray painted metal, but it was big enough that Bakade could have lied down on top of it no problem.
One of the Pylons had been destroyed so much by Bakade that it was tilting to the side and had nearly fallen down away from the center of the circle.

Bakade lifted her claw into the air and twisted her body to strike again. But then her body twitched just slightly.
She brought her claw down as quickly as she could but missed the metal tower entirely. Instead, her hand sped its way to the floor itself. She pressed it against the ground and used it to help her move to the side as she jumped with her legs.
A moment later, the giant wolf landed with its mechanical paw pushing down on the ground where she had been.
The ground around the pylon she had been attacking cracked and splintered which caused the pylon to come crashing down.
Red and electricity flew across the wolf.
"Be more careful you fool!"
The wolf snarled, but instead of looking towards Bakade, he looked in at the center of the circle. HIs fury seemed to shift from the two girls to something else, even if just for a brief moment.

Golden Age
In the latter half of the 21st century fully immersive virtual reality has finally become mainstream; a brand new game company called Aurum Productions promises to bring about the most realistic fantasy MMORPG ever created with their flagship title, Golden Age. A new player who goes by the name, D0n, loads into the world of virtual reality for the first time in his life thanks to these promises. But what catches his attention isn’t the wild monsters, the in-depth quest lines, or the ability to perform superhuman feats — what draws D0n at first is a bit more… mundane. Sure he’ll put in the time to level up his character… just as soon as he can finish applying the last layer of paint on his new coffee table… and after he lands that triple backflip he’s been trying to do all day… not to mention the lady next door was talking about a new horned rabbit stew recipe she was working on… Sure a world of swords and magic in virtual reality means a whole slew of fantastical experiences you can’t get anywhere else, but it’s not like those are going anywhere. And virtual or not, D0n is determined to live out his reality with a pace and vision that suits him best. It’s just a shame that his habit of a personalized play style has some far reaching consequences even Golden Age’s dev team could have never predicted. New Chapters uploaded every Wednesday.

Limits
Have you ever considered, what is a Limit? Well, I have. I’ve seen people who were as strong, as wild animals. Those that were faster than the wind. Some that shined with intellect. Yet, what are the Limits of mankind’s strength, or intelligence? No one seems to know. We develop more and more, seemingly without an end. What if, someone was the smartest in the world? Would that suggest the Limit? What if, someone was the strongest in the world? Would that be the Limit? Would that make that someone, more than a Human? These are just questions, but what if I saw people reach their Limits? What if I know what happens, when you break the Limits? What if I were to tell you about it, would you believe me? (This novel is no longer published on royal road. If you wish to read more than 1st volume, head to webnovel. That is all)
