《The Man Kicked By the God》Seventh Kick - Emotional? I Don't Think So.
Advertisement
Have you ever heard a toddler working almost 16 hours in a day, without holidays? Probably not. At least before me, I suppose. It’s been nearly 1 year since I’ve kicked this world and I’m play- grinding every day. Although, I like play- ehem, the job I’ve, grinding for this long really taken it’s toll on me.
I don’t like nagging, but a vacation would be fine. Am I wrong, mate?
“What will you do, partner? Sleep all day? I think you’ll get bored in the middle of day and resume grinding. You’re that type of person. When you work, you want a break but when you get a break for too long you want to work again. Even I couldn’t predict what will you do. Since you’ve higher Intelligence and Wisdom than your baby phase, you may make better decisions.” – Metatron
Meh, you’re right. That’s what will I do, probably. I’ve literally transforming a workaholic, again. Well, at span of eight months I’ve almost grinded all my stats to 100. Since I’ve found more efficient training exercises my training speed increased, by far with Training Mastery. Training Mastery really did a work on my training speed, too. Fufufu, I should show it.
Training Mastery LV:30 %5.00PassiveWhile training from the day you've born, you've finally acquired respective ways to train your all stats. As the skills level increase you’ll able to decrease time to train gain stats.
Decrease time to gain a stat by %35
Training Mastery was really hard to train, but it’s worth it. At early levels it was relatively easy to increase its level but as it level up, shit hit the fan. I mean, right now I need to gain total 60 stat points for increasing its level. But as leveling up skill gets harder, rewards became better too. Till level 25 skill give me %1 decrease on time per level, but after level 25 it’s started to give %2 percent. When I asked Metatron about this he told me:
“You may say even skills has their levels like Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Master. At 25 levels considered Beginner, 25 to 50 considered Intermediate, 50 to 75 considered Advanced. Beyond 75 considered Master level.” - Metatron

This passive is totally broken. As I told you; “I’m soo gonna abuse this skill.”. While grinding, due to some accidents falling or something hurt me, I’ve somehow able to increase my other passive skills, too. But not this extend, obviously.
Pain Resistance LV:5 %25.00PassiveRight after you’ve born, you’ve exposed to pain. Since then you’ve been able to partly resist all sorts of pain. As the skills level increases you’ll able to decrease the amount of pain you feel.
Decrease pain by %5
Physical Resistance LV:5 %25.00PassiveRight after you’ve born, you’ve been exposed to physical damage. Since then you’ve been able to partly resist all sorts of physical damage. As the skills level increases you’ll be able to decrease the physical damage you take.
Decrease physical damage taken by %5
Crowd Control Resistance LV:3 %30.00PassiveRight after you’ve been born, you’ve exposed to crowd control. Since then you’ve able to partly resist stun, daze, maim, slow, fear. As the skills level increases you’ll able to decrease the duration of crowd control effects.
Decrease the duration of crowd control effects by %3
By the way my one and only active skill, Identify, yet to reach a point where I can learn a bit more about my parents.
Identify Lv:22 %5.72ActiveBy raising your Intelligence to a sufficient level you’ve unlocked ability to discern things. As the skills level increase you’ll able to acquire more info about target.
Well to tell the truth, besides Training Mastery and Identify, I don’t even know will I ever able to reach higher levels on another skills. I’m not fond of getting trashed around, stabbed etc. Well, since I’ve yet to be past “All 100” checkpoint I don’t want to bother. While I want to grind my other stat I’ve reached bottleneck called “Toddler Restriction”. Well, system didn’t want to give babies too much power. I mean if a baby have 1000 at Strength, there is almost no toys for him/her. I don’t want to talk about environmental damage. I mean if it’s not a catastrophe then what a catastrophe is? By the way, according to Metatron, there are two ways to by-bass Toddler Restriction. You’ve either need to be 3 years old or grind all stats to 100. It’s not like I’ll able to wait 2 years, of course I’ll grind my way out. For now, only Luck and Charisma yet to reach that checkpoint. They are at 99 both so not that far, actually. Actually I was a bit bothered my recent training schedule. I’m only eating, rolling dices and singing songs. It’s must look weird a bit from my parents perspective but they’re not bothered by it.

But there is one important thing I am bothered by. It’s been two days since my rights to enter saloon and kitchen revoked. I don’t know why, but something is fishy. It’ll show up sooner or later so I think it’s not that big of a problem.
By the way while reading books about Nesili alphabet I learned there is only one continent named Cubilia. As far as I can tell, there are quite a few different races. For example elves, dwarves, heck even dragons exist. Things like that excited me for real. I smell adventure. While I was unable to learn more things about other races, I have learned a thing or two about humanity. Like all humans countries being united under name of Weiwuer United Nations. While I want to learn more I was unable to acquire more information with reading books. If only I can jump higher… Another thing is my parents refused to give me books I can’t reach. When I asked them why they replied in sync;
“Too early for you to learn politics.” – Magnolia & Hohen.
Ugh, politics… If there is a thing I won’t like ever, its politics and politicians. I’m really tried my best to stay away from both of them in my first life and I don’t want to change my policy on this topic. But a weird feeling tells me otherwise.
In those months there are a few things I did confirm. First of all, our home is three story house. Second, my parents have a really big sum of money. I don’t know how they did acquire but it doesn’t look like inheritance money. You may ask why but I according to what I evasedr-heard father of my father and mother of mom is still alive. I don’t know anything about my possible uncles/aunts or even cousins. Third, our home is a few kilometers away from nearest settlement. When I asked dad I want to go there by myself I was outright rejected. He said;
“You’re not even 1 year old. Grow up, sonny.” – Hohen
Even remembering make me bitter about that. Grrrr. Just wait a bit. I’ll leave you in my dust, dad.
“Come here, to saloon , sonny.” Hohen
Did my detention end? I run towards to saloon with my fastest speed. But somehow dad catch from my waist with his left, turned me around and closed my eyes with his right hand. What’s going on, dad? You finally decided to train me? He slowly pull out his hand and let me open my eyes. I was literally dazed. Not physically, but mentally. Why did you decorate saloon and why there is a cake with a candle on?
“Happy birthday, Micha!” – Magnolia & Hohen
Aww, it’s my birthday? I totally forgot about that when I immersed training. Mom brings out a grey necklace which has a similar shape like arrowhead with a design look like an eye on middle. I wear it immediately.
(Author note: Although I don’t like giving image on writing I need to clarify it. So just imagine grey version of something like this. http://i.imgur.com/H7uGnYq.png)

Hehe, they even brought me a gift which give me a Charisma. I will definitely treasure this. I’m really feeling lucky to have such good parents.

Fuck you, system! You’ve totally ruined it. This supposed to be an emotional time!

The Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!

8 183The Tower of Opportunity - Rewrite
Criminals from around the world are summoned by a mysterious being who informs them that they only have 3 months left to live unless they climb the mysterious tower that lies before them, through which they can gain another two weeks added to their lifespan for every floor conquered. They soon discover that they can harness powers that have been granted to them by this mysterious being to not only achieve victory against the enemies that they will face in the tower, but also attain their deepest and darkest desires as well. Watch our protagonist's journey through the tower as he struggles to endure the curse he bears, one which damns him to ever-repeat his climb to the top of the tower, until he succeeds. *** This is a rewrite of a story I started writing about 3 months ago which was written in the third person, and this rewrite shifts the story perspective to the first person. There will be occasional user polls to decide how the story progresses, interspersed throughout the story, and the polls that were done in the original version will still apply to the current version. Also if you have any suggestions for story ideas that you would like to see incorporated, leave a comment about it, and they might show up in the future. Lastly, I hope you enjoy the story, and thanks for reading. P.S. Thanks to gej302 for the cover art.
