《Contract: Restart》Chapter 11
Advertisement
a year has passed when I fell in the ravine and my injuries seems like will take about healed now. The village actually has no healers since all of them have high affinity for darkness yet there affinity to light is non-existence. Ever since the incident the elder visited on a regularly basis. Even the instructor what was her name again? Erm… Esh…Eshvia? Noo um…. Ah! Right Eshkia! She visited on a weekly basis watching me if I’m now fully healed.
Over the course of those 15 months I wasn’t able to move much and my body has grew accustomed to the darkness and now I could see their faces and features in detail. Eshkia the instructor was a beautiful female around the height of 5’9 the average height of an elf. She had jet black hair as well as dark eyes she had a fine slim and curvaceous body. She also had looks of a woman in her early thirties though I doubt that’s her real age, she could probably be over a hundred years old for all we know.
Regardless this past twelve months without anything to do I just meditated practiced my mana channeling skill. Mana channeling leveled up to advance level 5 while meditation leveled up to level 4. My lesser night vision as well changed to night vision once it hit past advance. It then restarted to beginner after that.
Well continuing on I was now practically healed and finally had the privilege to get out of the house. I wasn’t allowed to go out saying that it would be dangerous since the other elves still doesn’t know my existence and would probably attack me on sight. I actually asked him why he didn’t say about it but it was actually pretty simple why the elder didn’t disclose information about me to the public. He said that since I was still pretty weak the villagers wouldn’t probably believe that I was the prophesized hero plus the fact that I was injured didn’t help at all. So that’s why he forced me on a training with that woman called Eshkia.
So here I am outside of the village and literally outside. I was forced out of the village and even made to pass through the secret passage so that the other villagers won’t see me. I was pretty far off from the village about 15 kilometers and I am currently being forced to fight countless of freaking monsters or what they like to call burrowers.
Why am I fighting them you say? Let’s take a walk through memory lane specifically about three months ago. I was outside the village along with my new instructor called Eshkia. She quickly gave a halt and turned around to face me. She took a searched inside her leather shoulder bag and quickly took out two vambraces. As well as leg bracers.
“This bracers and vambraces are imbued with advance gravity magic that only the wearer can feel. Each one is around 10 kilos” She said
“You will wear each one of these and over time we will add 10 kilos to each every day.”
What! Is she out of her fucking mind! 40 kilos! WTF! I screamed in my mind and was about to run when she noticed this and quickly grabs me. I was then force to wear each one on my arm and legs although the total weight wasn’t actually that bad. With my stats I could handle all of them.

“Wait! I forgot two more things for you to wear.” She quickly takes out a belt and a collar and attaches the collar on my neck first. I felt my strength draining as she attached it and when it was fully equipped a notification came to my view.
Ding!
You have equipped collar of restriction all stats have been changed to 5
My legs and arms was like jelly and my arms hang droopily while It seems like I couldn’t move my legs. What the hell! And then she attached the belt to my waist as well. Once it was equipped a notification popped up again.
Ding!
You have equipped Belt of restraint. Bodily Movement has been decreased by 98%.
“Those two things that I attached to you are called the collar of restriction and belt of restraint. The collar takes all of your stats and absorbs it and will leave you with 5 as your base stats. All of your stats that you gain as well will be stored in the collar as well.”
“Next is that belt will impair your movement and you’ll feel like in rigor mortis or probably worse.” She started to smirk.
Oh great this is torture. No! this is worse than torture! I couldn’t move my arms nor legs. They were so stiff that You’ll probably thought I was frozen solid. I couldn’t lift my hand as well Goddamn it! Fuck you bitch! I screamed in my mind although I didn’t let it leak out of my mouth instead I asked.
“Wait um…Master Eshkia, after these have been equip, what should I do?” I asked her with a full condensed voice.
“Oh that we’ll work on strengthening your body. First you’ll climb the ravine up to the top and then get back down. You’ll do this twice during the month” She said
“But what if I don’t come back and just escape?” I asked her. After this question she gave me a smile.
“Oh don’t worry. His ravine is magically imbued where once you reached the top You’ll be forced to go back down contrary to your thoughts.” She said.
I see so the top has a mind control spell where you couldn’t disobey it eh?
“Also even if you do manage to get out, you’ll be forced to suffer for the rest of your life. That items your wearing is magically imbued where without my permission you won’t be able to take them off no matter how hard you try. You wouldn’t want where your stats will forever remain in the 5’s right?” she asked.
Oh great no way out of this huh. I guess I’ll just have to do it huh? I looked at the items and identified each one. I focused my eyesight and gave a hard thought. Imagine its history it’s durability, its rarity. Imagine everything it went through.
Ding!
You have learned the skill Identify
Identify lvl.1(beginner)

I then took a stern look at each one.
“Identify!”

Well she is telling the truth about them you won’t be able to take themoff.
“All right one last thing those vambraces will double their weight the first week and then double after the next week and then double the week after that and so on.” She said with a great no casual expression face.
“Wait what?”
“That’s right so If I were you I’d get to training fast. Also the stats you earn won’t be siphoned by the collar so now get to climbing cause you’ll need all the time you can!” She shouted at me.
I quickly dashed at the wall… Well at least that’s what I’m trying to do. I grabbed my leg and tried to take a step. I made a large grunt as I took steps towards the wall. Unexpectedly a notification popped in front of me.
Willpower has increased by 1
Wow so my lower stats made it easier to increase them plus the strain on my body as well made it tougher but it could probably give me better gains later on.
I took another step and a couple steps later I got another notification.
Strength has increased by 1
I gained another stat at strength and willpower when I finally reached the wall. I started climbing the steep ravine. Grabbing the protruding parts I started my ascent. The first couple minutes I was still fine but then an hour passed and my arms were already giving way to exhaustion. I was ready to fall any minute now but I kept on my perseverance. I grabbed a ledge and hauled myself up.
What greeted me was a small and narrow cavern that could probably house my body. I quickly fell down on the corner and rested myself. I analyzed the points I gained on different stats like Willpower, Strength, Vitality, Endurance, and Dexterity.
I rested myself for an hour and judging by myself I was decently rested started my ascent once again. Another hour passed and this time I felt exhausted but not like the first hour of my climb but still I’m pretty exhausted and I don’t think I’ll find any cavern soon so I tried to find a ledge to rest at least. Another 30 minutes past and I still continued my ascent but still no resting place sighted. Then a few more climb and a ledge finally I found one.
I tried to speed up my space to quickly reached it but when I went to grab another protruding rock my initial step hold crumbled and I fell. Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! I can’t die! Not this way! I quickly used my body tried to control my myself midair. I neared the side of the wall and quickly plunged my arm into it and dust came from the wall as my hand was submerged in it.
I initially stopped but not at the cost of my hand. I couldn’t even describe what it looked like after the dust cleared off. It was fucking bloody. The skin was totally torn and Blood was dripping everywhere. Pain was coming from my hand and it definitely hurt especially once your stats was like that of a child’s
Ding!Ding!
For wise decision making skills while on the verge of death spared your life earning you plus 15 points to wisdom.
For totally enduring the painful experience you just went through has earned you a plus 15 points to endurance.
For being able to gracefully control your body in midair, has given you an additional plus 10 points to dexterity.
I was happy with the added stats but no way in hell am I happy with a bloody arm. I reached out and grab for a part to climb on and pain continued to tingle on my bloodied hand. Oh great this fucking training is the fucking worse! I stared up and assessed on how far I’ve fallen. It seems like I fell pretty far It’ll take me a while to get back to my initial place that I fell from.
The recent fall has pushed my adrenaline to the extreme thus I could hardly feel my exhaustion right now. I for one am not stupid as to not take this chance for granted. So I quickly set out to climb back up. It was one hell of a mess, my climb back up that is. Every time I moved my right hand and touched the wall pain quickly carries itself to my brain. It constantly racked myself but still the adrenaline dulled my senses so I can only feel a little bit of pain.
I finally reached a ledge again and hauled myself up. Oh great it was the narrow cavern from before, which means I really did fell far if I probably didn’t stop I would have hit the ground hard and died. So I quickly fell on my back and rested. Suddenly my eyes started to fell heavy and it slowly closed as darkness embraced me.

A Sith? During The Fall
Darth Zaros was the Empire’s Wrath; the greatest Sith Warrior and a man feared across the galaxy. He was also just my Old Republic game character until I somehow woke up as him. If that wasn’t bad enough, I was sent thousands of years into the future to the eve of the Great Jedi Purge. Alone and surrounded by enemies, can Zaros survive long enough to figure out how he got there? Can he ever find his way back? Follow along as Zaros uses his powers and more importantly, the knowledge of a fan, to navigate his way through a dangerous Universe. I'm working with a mixture of canon and legends stuff. If it hasn't been written over in canon then it will probably be free game. Because I’m reconciling various different sources, power levels won’t be blown out of proportion to the point that force users become the only relevant people in the Galaxy. I added the gore tag just in case. This is Star Wars, so there won’t be any needless blood spatters, but lightsaber duels often end with some body part cut off.

Teddy Bear
As it would stand, the truth of the matter was that aliens had visited Earth before. Roswell was neither a hoax nor unique. It was simply a consequence of a world growing smaller as communication systems became more and more advanced, partly a result of said visitations. For the most part, past interactions between one of the planet Earth's more intelligent species of lifeform and the alien visitors were along the lines of obscure scientific surveys and tests disturbingly similar to attempts by some human scientists to estimate the intelligence of simians.For any species capable of travelling the stars. Visiting planet Earth made about as much sense as backpacking through the Ural Mountains of Siberia with nothing but a flint and a compass. That is to say, most people would prefer to stay close to someplace within walking distance of a mall or a population density slightly higher than four sapient beings per parsec. Still, statistically speaking, there are bound to be some weirdos who find joy rides though a nowhere solar system fun. Just buzzing a frantic farmer or two and playing chicken with an F-16 for the heck of it. Maybe even bring home a bovine to show off to the guys at the office.
