《One Versus Destiny》Chapter 61: The Pothole
Advertisement
The only downside of the soul space was I could only go to Minsk. As I stepped out, I was fueled with rage at the human world for shunning gold-categories. I decided to make a point.
As a gold-category, a lot of abilities had dual functions. I knew using execute while slashing at the floor with a blade of death would be catastrophic. As the Bellarussian police came, I summoned a blade of death and my cloak.
“You will die,” I said, pointing at the ground. I slashed at the ground as I flew up.
I felt an earthquake coming on. A hole appeared in the ground. It started widening. After a few hours, it had swallowed up Minsk. After a couple days, it had swallowed Belarus.
“Authorities are dumbfounded at a self-expanding pothole that has swallowed Belarus and parts of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, and Ukraine. The pothole has also swallowed a small part of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, and Hungary. Ocean levels have sunk, owing to the pothole expanding into the Baltic sea. They think a gold-category has something to do with it.” I was watching the news.
“The pothole has flipped the tables. In 2022, Laviv was the Ukrainian refuge. Now, it’s Kyiv.”
I decided I would need to train before going back out into the world. I was in Poland. I felt some silver-categories searching for me. I flew out to meet them. “So, you are hunting me?” I said in Polish. It would take them a few seconds to understand. “You don’t need to die.” I continued in French. “Come with me.” “Never! You are a crazed, stupid loon who destroyed Tamil Nadu, Belarus, and parts of Poland, Lithuania, Lavita, Russia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, and the Baltic Sea.” “Are you sure?” I asked. “Yes, you loon.” “Well, so be it.” I picked up a garbage truck and threw it like a basketball. It clonked one on the head, knocking him unconscious. “Is that enough for you, silver-categories? You need to know a lost cause when you see one.” “Burning swords, come and reach the Sinner’s End.” “Oh, really? Your fate is to suffer. Rot away, dead body. Freeze, bloodless one.” There was one left, and he had the Soul, Cleanliness, Sword, Speed, and Bounty soul stones, to make the Hunter confluence.

All the sets with hunter were a tough match for me, so I charged. He parried my blow. We fought, for months, until I won out. I had one advantage. I had a higher VO2 max, so, I could go on a high burst of speed, and, at the end, he couldn't parry.
He had sneakily sent a recording of the fight to the UN and Anti-Monster Network, so I was in huge trouble.

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)
