《Gambled World》Chapter 19
Advertisement
Kal knew he didn't have a chance of taking on an army by himself. But did that mean he was going to run away?
This whole time Kal has been collecting stuff he thought was needed for survival now though it seems he is going to need it to kill.
Grabbing the Molotov arrows and activating spark Kal shot not the approaching army but the field in front of them! But he wasn't as delusional to think that would in itself work next he pulled out a can of gas and poked a hole in it then handed it to Onyx.
Kal-"Fly where I shot my arrows. After that fly over the army. We are going to burn as many of these fuckers as possible!"
Onyx decided to follow his directions and flew over to the line of arrows with the gas can. She made a quick pass and soon there was a blazing trail on the ground separating the army from Kal.
Kal only had a cruel smile on his face when he saw the approaching army stop.
When Onyx saw what the strange smelling liquid did she instantly understood Kal's plan and in the moment she felt sorry for the army that banded together to get rid of a common enemy. But even though she felt sorry for them she wasn't going to ignore Kal's orders after all she likes him.
So she flew over the army covering as many as she could in the gas and when she was out dropped the can and flew back toward Kal.
Kal's didn't bother firing on the one's she covered in gas as he had something far worse in store. The gas was to expand the damage of the next attack.
Reaching back into his inventory Kal pulled out 3 propane tanks. All of which were full.
Kal-"As guests to our world I feel I should enlighten you to one of the best parts that most Americans are quite fond of in movies. The explosions."
With that Kal tossed a tank over the army and took aim with his bow. When the tank was just above their heads he fired.

A ball of fire shot out and engulfed the tribes. The air was instantly filled with burning flesh and screams. Plus one teenager's smile.
But it didn't stop there due to the gas that Onyx poured over them the fire spread across a quarter of the army. Their howls of agony as they were trying to put out the fire that spread across them.
This was only the beginning in Kal's mind. Since they decided to all gang up on him he wasn't going to go easy. With fire on his mind Kal tossed the last two tanks and shot them as well. The damage wasn't as bad since the army knew what to expect now but quite a few were picked off.
The leadership of the army had ugly looking faces. All of them were enraged that one human could cause so much damage. So the magic users of the group got together and started a spell. There was no way they would let a human kill them all.
Onyx being of a dragons line had the ability to smell magic and when the group started their spell she immediately turned to Kal.
Onyx- "The shamans are preparing a spell be careful!"
Kal jumped a little. This would be his first time dealing with magic since the world changed and was honestly a bit worried. So he started up rapid fire and switched to normal arrows. His goal was to mow down a hole and take out the shamans.
But nothing is ever that easy. The shamans weren't the only threat Kal had to worry about. The stronger hobgoblins and Ogres took this chance to charge through the fire barely even slowing to wince and attacked Kal.
There was two Ogres and 30 Hobgoblins and they were closing in fast. Kal had to stop aiming at the shamans and switched his fire to them. However he only picked off a few hobs before the reached him and he had to dodge an Ogre's attack.
Kal-"Shit! Onyx take to the air and hit them with what you can!" Kal put away his bow and pulled out his Bloodling Daggers and slit the throat of a Hob who tried to take his arm.

Kal tried to bounce back while fighting them off but they ended up circling him and he ended up being trapped. Onyx was too low level to do much against these guys she only an annoyance at least for now.
You see Kal killed quite a few with his fire tactics and Onyx helped so she of course was still gaining exp as the army was burning.
Her level was soaring and it quickly shot past Kal's.
While Kal was struggling to fight off the surrounding enemies the shamans finished their spell. The sky grew dark and black rain clouds filled the air. Rain started pouring down.
Kal-"All that for a bit of rain that's kinda sad."
But he was wrong it wasn't for just a bit of rain at the moment it started to rain the enemies surrounding Kal retreated. At that moment the sky shone with a bright light and a bolt of lighting shot down right at him.
Kal- "Fuck me!"
Having no defense against such an attack Kal closed his eyes and waited for the end. But it never came.
Confused he opened his eyes and saw he was in some kind of barrier and the lighting was striking it continuously.
Kal- "What the? Did I gain a new skill?" He asked in bewilderment.
Onyx- "No this is my doing." She says smugly.
Looking up he sees her in the air with a faint glow around her the same color as the barrier.
Kal-" You had this skill all along?"
Onyx-"Yes and no. The higher level I get to the more of my previous skills I get back and you taking out that large chunk of enemies there helped level me up to 22 which gave me quite the boost in abilities and I gained my barrier magic back. Although I can only do intermediate level spells it still better than what a bunch of two-bit shamans can do." Pride was thick in her voice.
Kal-"Huh. Nice work. Now if those shamans think a bit of rain and lighting is going to stop my fire plan then they have another thing coming."
Kal told her to keep the barrier up a little longer even after the rain and lightning stopped. From his inventory, he pulled out his last fire tactic.
From his inventory, he pulled out a large clear bin, 6 gallons of diesel, and styrofoam plates. His plan was simple he was going to napalm them.
Pouring the diesel into the container and tearing the styrofoam plates into pieces he threw them in and started to stir. After a bit a sticky looking substance started to form.
The tribes didn't know it but they were about to feel some of the worst deaths known. During the Vietnam war napalm was used quite a bit by U.S. troops and was quite effective against crowds. While its purpose was to burn out guerrillas that didn't mean other uses weren't as effective.
When he was finished Kal looked up at Onyx.
Kal-"Think you can pour this over the army?"
Onyx let out an amused snort, dropped the barrier and picked up the container of napalm.
Normally you drain out the excess diesel or gas but Kal wanted it to stay more liquid to pour easier. The army wasn't dumb When they saw Onyx heading toward them with another container they started to scatter. The shamans were taking potshots with random spells trying to bring her down but she just threw up another barrier and went right into the biggest cluster of enemies drenching them in as much napalm as possible.
Kal- "Good now use the rest to make another line in the field!"
Kal wanted to make sure the next time they charged a price would be paid. So pulling out his bow and taking aim at the group who was covered in his homemade napalm.
Kal-"Time for round two." Then he let his arrows fly.

In a world similar to the European Middle Ages, the feared yet powerful Gods seal the devil clan in order to keep the world in balance. The Gods became weak over time from fighting demons and keeping the seal shut. So they created a Tournament called 'The Tournament Of Gods,' where angels battle each other out in order to become a God. However, the tournament is no simple thing, and adversaries of terrifying strength stand in your way, every time you faced an opponent. After hearing that, do you think the main character will triumph over all odds, or suffer an ignominious defeat?
8 110The Legendary Ghost Hunter
Thousands of years ago, the First Expungement came. The world changed, and humanity was nearly wiped out. Thankfully, with the paracausal power of Angelicas, humans was able to push back the Ghost tide and rebuild their civilization. Now, however, it was time for the Second. Finn Thresher was just a normal university student at first. He, like the rest of the public world, had no idea what was coming for them — but sometimes, just because you don't know, doesn't mean you can't be harmed. His family... his sight... his purpose. All lost to the paranormal. It was time to abandon his beliefs. To throw away his morals. After all... if these creatures weren't human anyway, there was no point in showing them humanity. In the first battle of this war, the Ghosts won, nearly driving the human race to extinction. In the second, the humans fought back with the power of Angelicas and managed to secure a victory. Now, the third and final round was approaching — and this time, it's personal.
8 178HEIMDALLR
After his first life, Heimdallr felt he had lived a decent way; he wrote stories and lived a simple life, avoiding publicity and focused on promoting growth to the few who cherished his works. But after being reborn as Heimdallr Dagrsson, one of the many sons of Daesal's greatest warrior Dagr, he was put into a world devoid of wide-spread access to reading and writing. Instead, he was dropped into a world where fighting and death commonly reared their heads. Now, faced between his unsupported passion and his new life's innate talent and upbringing, he will have to find his new path. He will forge a new story that would make even himself dubious of whether or not it's fact or fable. HEIMDALLR is a story taking place in the setting created for another previous work of mine called KOBOLD. It follows a reincarnated person trying to wrestle between their old life and new life's wants and needs, all the while adapting to the situations that arise out of his control. Heimdallr starts out trying to survive and live a new life, all the while facing challenges and growth both fantastical and painfully real. Loosely inspired by Norse mythology and histories (names and some themes), spun into a fantasy, grit-rooted world. Skål! All content warning tags are applied so as to allow freedom of writing but there is no intent of excess or even regular use of these themes. Regardless of this, any and all uses will have dedicated warnings presented in the chapter whenever they are present! Reader beware!
