《Slade the Shade》Chapter 9: More wolves and new playstyle.
Advertisement
While on the way to the wolf area Slade decided to kill and loot everything he came across, the sheep, the deer, and even the slimes. He decided to aim to be the first person to reach level 10 hopefully there will be some kind of epic reward. By the time he reached the wolf area, he was 60% of the way to level 6. From what he saw there was a small clearing in the forest situated next to a river. From what he could gather from his observations were that there were about 200 mainstream players farming the wolves at any given time and a lot of big and small fights occasionally. Wanting to stay out of trouble he decided to be lowkey. He went deeper into the forest until he could not hear any players or fighting he happened to spot a few wolves patrolling around being led by a slightly bigger wolf.

Calming his mind Slade realized that while he has an overpowered weapon he himself is too weak. He would need a few strikes to kill one wolve and by then he would be surrounded. The wolves could probably him in a few strikes plus the fact that they are faster than him. He needed a game plan. He can use "Deadly strikes" but it has a cooldown. Looking around he found a tree before doing a meteor strike on a group of 4 wolves targeting the level 6 wolf. Pinning down the targeted wolf before hitting the other three wolves with "Deadly strikes" at the same time before finishing the downed target

With four wolves out of the way and two left Slade dodges out of the way of an enraged wolf before capitalizing by performing two quick attacks before it recovers.

And before Slade could react a huge chunk of his health disappeared leaving 3 large claw marks on his chest. Steading his grip on his scythe he looked into the intimidating eyes of the wolf and steeling his nerves he subconsciously let out a smile and went into a passive stance. deducing that he can't out strengthen or outpace he started allocating his points.

As the wolf attacked with its claws Slade could see everything it moving clearer allowing him to decide on the best time to dodge, he could feel that his response time was shorter as he sidestepped the attack and he could naturally move faster as he avoided the second set of claws by narrowly tilting his head. He slashed the canine as he dodged the saliva-filled teeth aimed for his throat, rolled away from the incoming claws, and while blocking the second set of claws he pulled back the scythe and watched it cleave through its paw. with a pained howl the wolf charged with everything it had before missing and got cut down.

[You have leveled up and are now level 6]
With the added agility Slade now found his playstyle and decided on an agility build as loved the feeling of narrowly dodging the enemy's attacks before silencing them. He was going to a 5-2-2-1 ratio for his attributes points on Agility, strength, intelligence, and vitality respectfully. As for endurance, well he is tired of enduring.

BattleField - A Never-Ending Nightmare
Twenty-Three million souls. It takes twenty-three million souls to feed the horrors of the Great Beyond for a soul to cross over and land amongst the living. And even then, it would only be a husk of its true self after the whimsical gods of the void got their claws on it. Still, after eons untold, its final crossing shall take place in blood-soaked lands, driving fear into the hearts of its inhabitants. Alistair finds little wrong with himself, that's not considering he somehow was the last living being to have taken part in a battle to decide the fate of the Human world. He remembers walking shoulder to shoulder with his brothers in arms, being showered in the viscera of his closest friends. He also remembers being stabbed by a twelve foot monstrosity as it picked him up with its sharpened blade of a hand, relishing his stunned expression and the soon to be blossoming of pain as it brought him closer to its putrid mouth. And yet, here he stood in a silent battlefield littered with bodies for acres of land. What the hell was he supposed to do now? And equally important, what the hell was he supposed to do with this orb of golden light?!

What was initially taken for a blessing by humanity with the appearance of new types of resources and a few people having developed incredible abilities later qualified as magic quickly turned into a nightmare.

Nicolaï was born nearly a century after the world had began to change, but his fate wasn't more enviable than the billions who died during that era. Living in more than miserable conditions for as long as he could remember, his destiny was to die before blowing out his tenth candle. But someone held out his hand to him for the first time in his life and decided to train him to become a Mage capable to impose himself in this dangerous and corrupt new world.
