《Skelly Boy》Chapter 7 : Orc vs Humans
Advertisement
Rally Cry Increase the stats of nearby surrounding minions by (1) Grade for 90 seconds. Cooldown resets when a minion dies, however Rally Cry doesn’t stack. 30 Minute Cooldown.
The Orc Boss roars a challenge, and the sound is almost twice as hefty as the aspiring (now dead) Orc hunter and carries with it a tinge of mana infused ferocity. The Big Boss is ready. But The undead skeleton warrior? Well…
For Greg, this is his third death. The first time was an accident. The second time he didn’t know what he was doing, but the third time…
He remembers charging in, being brave with a sword raised and wind whipping over his skull. He remembers casting Rally Cry. He remembers getting faster. He remembers getting skewered by a 2x4, which doesn’t make sense, but that’s the only way his mind can explain it. The force of something wide and heavy, cracking his ribcage and exploding out his spine, instantly turning off thought and reason.
And when reason disappeared there was only the void. Empty and cold. Greg’s mind only dwelt there briefly the two times he’s died, but this time, with the void stretching out before him… this time the void is there and something smiles in it. At that point, Greg realizes that this isn’t some game, that this world isn’t just letting him come back over and over again. That death only has to stick a little longer…
So, Greg runs. Which is a good idea for Greg, but not for Matt, who upon seeing skeleton revive momentarily, forgets that that his undead friend isn’t a minion under his influence, but has thoughts and feelings of his own. So, instead of waiting, literally 60 seconds, he decides to charge up a Level 3 Acid Arrow.
“AW FUCK!” screams the skeleton as he dives out of the way. The giant emerald arrow whizzes over the skelly and misses the Orc Boss by several inches. The giant Orc smiles, as the puny human magician is too pathetic to hit him. He starts to laugh in a haughty taunt before he’s interrupted by a shrill scream.

Orc Scout has taken Critical Acid Damage.
Orc Scout is in agonizing pain!
Orc Scout's face is melting.
Orc Scout’s screams are filling his lungs with Acid.
Orc Scout has been slain.
Party has received 275 EXP
Matt the Necromancer has Leveled Up.
The Orc Boss watches as his Scout falls to the ground, the acid chewing through the meaty flesh and revealing the white bone underneath. The grizzly sight, with acid mixing in with blood and ichor from the melted eyes and brain matter turned to slush, makes the gathered orcs’ stomachs churn. But as the body lays twitching and very much dead, the Orcs simply grunt, because there is a human here. And they only need to find him.

The taverns edge is a fiction that centers around a pair of unusual friends. A mercenary that happens to be a princess of fae, but prefers to stay in a well-known établissement instead of staying in the Sidhe. Moira. Being half a dragon doesn't really help getting along with snobbish elitists at her mother's court. Like all sidhe she likes to strike a good deal... Which has led into many a disaster... Though she always tends to get by, especially when she gets home to the Tavern on the edge. The mentioned établissement is run by the formidable Barkeeper and jack of all trades Tora, who happens to have a very interesting past. Which involves more than one sinister secret... Now add to the mix a totally clueless elven girl - a mortal, not a fae- on the run. Lunara. She has unknowingly struck a deal with the devil - quite literally. Now unable to handle the consequences on her own she enters the tavern on the edge. An epicenter for magic and the only place where she might find help. She talks Moira into helping her out. A race against time begins as the deal's symbols appear on Lunara's skin. The journey leads to the dwarven empire, the sidhe and wherever the crossing leylines under the tavern may lead. This fiction belongs to the same universe as Ancient Blood. English is not my native language, so please don't be harsh. This story is an adaption of an idea, that we, a friend of mine and me, have developed over a few months while taking a break from learning. Some parts were written by Emberspark. Thank you for allowing me to work with your ideas and letting me publish this as a whole. Updates... I will try to frequently update both of my fictions... Well in case you are interested I post it on Scribble hub, too. I really don't steal from myself 😂

And that's only the first day. What will he do? How will he survive?Releases will be every weekday, and times are 7:15 PM Eastern Time. This is a serial that will never be taken down. If you read the first few chapters and think I copied He Who Fights With Monsters, the first three chapters are similar to the start of He Who Fights With Monsters, but it branches out in Chapter 4. [Participant in the Royalroad writathon challenge].The content warnings are more for minor things, minor enough that a fourth-or maybe third grader could read.A lot of chapters, particularly in the first 3 books, are unedited, and I'll try to get more edited soon.Covers credit to Asviloka.NOTE: I only publish this on Royalroad.com, and if you read it somewhere else, it is pirated and you suck.
