《Realm of Learning: Adventures of Eternium》20 - Ladies first

*sigh*
I sighed to myself, I couldn’t stop myself thinking about him.
It’s not like he was even gone that long, and I would see him again.
He was my hero, my best friend and my mentor.
We met in the middle of a cold winter, just a week from Christmas
Other people might say I was selfish, but not him, he just understood
I was standing on a bridge, falling into the ice would end it all, I was a piece of shit
He didn’t say not to jump, he just asked me for my story, he said he wanted to know my side.
I dropped to my knees on that cold snowy night, I cried and bared my heart out
I was piece of shit, it’s not that bullies made me realize it, it was my own conclusion
For almost two years I endured it all, I couldn’t tell my parents, looking back I still don’t know why, but everything was so simple after he came into the picture, I just didn’t have anyone to tell, I thought if I didn’t give them any satisfaction they’d leave me alone, but I was wrong.
Somehow, in just existing, I managed to piss them off, it got worse and worse, until one day they stole my phone, yeah it was an expensive gift from my parents, but it was just material goods.
The worst bit was when they called out my best friend and tried to have her raped to spite me, thank god she escaped, but I didn’t know that then, when I tried to talk to her she cried and wouldn’t see me, she asked how I could betray her, naturally I asked what happened she told me how they lured her out, and that was how I ended up at that bridge trying to kill myself on my birthday.
Then he said he was a magician, he told me to try things his way, to close my eyes, I agreed, and when I opened them he made all my problems disappear.
Of course it took some time, but he really made everything better, it was like it never happened, the bullies were gone, the school knew everything, bullying might not be illegal but attempted rape was and we had evidence in her texts and ripped clothing, he reported the phone stolen so that was evidence too, he helped me with the mental scars and our school because of its neglect let him take us out of school every now and again, for counselling they called it, as long as we kept our grades up, everything was peachy, I even got my phone back.

“Oi!”
“Owww.”
She bit my ear, she was a good deal taller than me so she had to bend down, I guess I really was daydreaming hard there.
“You’re meant to be enjoying shopping with me, you’re not allowed to think about him now.”
She spun around showing me what she put on, smiling devilishly at me.
“Not when you’ve got to tell your super-hot, up-coming, model-journalist bff how she looks!”
I smiled at her, kissed her cheek and gave her a big hug.
“To me you’re the most beautiful, and talented girl, in the whole world.”
She really was, she smart, kind and beautiful, the best, VR games were out and we couldn’t afford it, well she could, but the situation with my parents got worse, they were having nothing to do with me, one had run off with someone half their age and the other was an abusive alcoholic, I think this was half the reason I was so scared to talk to them as a kid, they were close but so distant, but he just gave me the courage I needed, when they gave me no choice, I moved out and lived with him and his family for a while, but when he moved I didn’t feel like staying, so I was living with his best friend for the minute, his best friend was also a gentleman, I offered to pay rent, but Darien just said even if I didn’t pay rent it was all good, because he wasn’t paying it either, so we’re living together as good friends, he managed to get a pod too, something to with his job and cars, while I had many male interests, cars just wasn’t one of them, he tried telling me what happened but I nodded off.
Of course she wasn’t about to let this chance slip out of our hands, she applied to two contests and won both, one was an online beauty contest, winning a modelling contract and a VR gear, the other was a journalism contest in which she submitted an article she wrote, winning her an in game reporters contract, and you guessed it another VR gear, one of which she managed to get changed to my name.
It’s a shame though…
“as a part of winning the chance to reincarnate, the option to completely randomize your character has been made available, your race and appearance will be completely random, and this includes all races that are currently locked, you won’t receive any information about them, but I can say all will be at minimum on par with the unlocked races but some may have other advantages or be more powerful-“

“I want to be a human, I’ll never again doubt myself, if I’m weak I’ll embrace it and crawl, my way, to become stronger, but
I’ll never truly change who or what I am.”
The goddess then smiled.
… she had taken the option though, it seemed fun, or so she said, so it would be a while before we could group in game.
“Mm” She hugged me a bit tighter “I miss him just as much you know, don’t worry though, I was at his, having tea with his mum, I was gonna surprise him by giving him my competition gear and buying one for myself with my salary, but it seems he managed to win one, we’ll meet him in game soon enough.”

After running I eventually managed to catch her, grabbing her by the wrist I dragged her towards the castle, blushing the whole time she didn’t say a word.
Eventually we came towards the entrance, the three goblins were dispatched with haste, once again I took out the hunter with a backstab and then killed the two guarding goblins.
“So we just go into this castle then Zeke?”
“Not just yet.”
A creak was heard as the large wooden door opened, and out came what I had ran from.
Race: Minor Skeleton level 27
Health: 2503 Mana: 0
[(Racial) Slashing/Piercing Resistance]
It was just a skeleton, but its bones could be seen to be quite aged, grey and a bit cracked, the bare remnants of a cloth it once wore barely could conceal the upper part of its ribcage, in its hands was a rusted short sword, since victory belongs to the bold I struck first.
-394 HP
Decent damage, then suddenly, a disgustingly fast sword strike came at me.
-140HP
For some reason even though the skeleton was fumbling until that moment, the second it went to strike it’s sword came out way too fast, it didn’t do too much damage though.
*deadly hit*-440 HP
Target has been consecrated
Damn her damage was really nice, not going to lose this opportunity I took my sword into fire stance and pressed the attack
-394 HP
1
-394 HP
2
-394 HP
3
-394 HP
4
-140 HP
Four hits for every single hit I took, but it was that same strangely fast strike, perhaps that’s what happens if you have all strength and little dexterity, either way this fight wasn’t hard at all, especially with Alexis behind me, we’ll see what happens inside.
Deciding to go for a flourish and to practice sword drawing I sheathed my sword, when I get my class I might be able to get it as a skill if I practice enough, though for the minute I’ve maxed out on skills.
In one smooth motion I drew my sword and went for the skeleton’s neck.
-591 HP
Hmm, I was expecting that to be a fatal hit or perhaps a critical, it seems I couldn’t do either of these things to skeletons.
“Your castle awaits princess.”
I opened the door for her, ladies first after all, I was gonna miss it when she no longer blushed like a strawberry, oh that's a good one I'll use that, and followed her in.
You have entered a dungeon!

Wow did you guys see what happened to sephirah, like I knew the author was suspect when he started posting one chapter ahead on his own blog, but yeah it was like 3-4 stars imo.
If I really had to get my own site, or I started my own site and wanted to put it on there, I’d still submit chapters at the same rate, anything less is a bit off. But with one rival gone let’s get me into the top huhu!
Btw here’s the thing everyone really wanted (your bribe), breast size chart, no names yet though huhu!
1. 36F - ????
2. 32DD - ????
3. 32DD- ????
4. 32C -????

RE: Monarch
Cairn is a prince who is already tired of ruling. Faced with an imminent coronation and an overbearing father, he wants nothing more than to drown his responsibilities in cheap liquor and poor decisions. With the help of his sister, he hatches a plan to escape the clutches of the throne once and for all. It all goes terribly wrong, and Cairn finds his priorities shifting in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The change of heart comes too late, however, and Cairn dies. He reawakens to find himself transported ten years in the past. He immediately begins to plan for the future, only to discover his killer has somehow followed him. To succeed, Cairn must unite the kingdom and discover the motivation of his killer, using as many tries as it takes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I exhausted pretty much every time loop story ever written and decided to write my own. You'll see a few similarities here between this story and some existing stories, at least initially. There's a lot of inspiration drawn from both MoL and Re:Zero, though in terms of pathos and darkness, this story leans more towards the latter. Be warned, it is something of a slow burn. The main character will grow and become powerful, but a theme of this story is that power comes slowly and often at great cost.

At a young age his parents were killed, his friends slaughtered and family stolen. This had broken Julian completely, and hence he left on a journey to find strength to seek his revenge. But life was not yet done playing with his life, so it showed Julian that he had no talent to do anything that would lt him gain his revenge. It had become clear to Julian that the heavens did not favor him, so he left on one last journey when… ***** Ahhh I don't really know what else to add but ill write it here anyway, this is my first time writing a story, so I am still experimenting with things, so it is possible that you might find the beginning of the story to be a bit slow, but I assure you the later chapters and things I have in plan will not disappoint you. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I have taken inspiration from waaaay tooo many novels that I liked, and while there aren't any specific ones that I based this upon there are a few that I definitely took inspiration from like : the author's POV, chronicles of the heavenly demon [you can probably see where this inspired me ;)], etc.
