《A Man and His Greatsword》Prologue
Advertisement
My name is Michael Adkins, and currently, I'm having tea with Eden, the god of another world. "This isn't a dream right?", I skeptically stated as I observed Eden. "Of course not, this is all real Mr. Adkins. Now please stop staring at me, it's getting a bit creepy.", said Eden. He then took a sip of his tea before switching his gaze back to me. "Consider my offer Mr. Adkins, I've heard that you would like to enjoy "fantasy" worlds like the one I manage." Eden was your typical fantasy god. He was handsome and hospitable, albeit very lazy and bored, hence my summoning. "Alright, I'll go. What will you do about my previous life on Earth?", I stated with a slightly worried tone. I had nice co-workers in that job, including a certain girl that I liked. I had planned to ask her out, but I was swiftly taken away to here. "Don't worry, any memory of you will be erased as if you never existed in the first place.", stated Eden with a slightly joyful tone. Slightly taken aback, I brushed it off as I put on a business smile and got serious. "What powers will I be able to choose from?" "Go wild, I'll grant the powers you want. Just nothing too powerful, alright?" Eden gave off a laid back attitude afterward. "1. The maximum possible greatsword mastery. 2. A 2x modifier to strength, agility, and dexterity. 3. The ability to gain experience at five times the normal rate." Eden had pondered for a while but ultimately decided to grant the powers. "Now for your class." "Grant me a strong one related to greatswords.", I said without a single bit of hesitation." Eden was slightly surprised at the instant answer but granted the class. "Check your status, you should be able to see it. It has the modifications granted to you." I thought about the status screen and it popped up in front of me. Name: Michael Adkins Class: Harbinger of the Greatsword Arts Race: Human, Male Level: 1 Titles: Greatsword Enthusiast, Gifted by God Stat Points: 0 Class Effects: +15 to Strength, Dexterity, Agility, and Vitality Health: 250 Mana: 100 Health Regen: 0.125/sec Mana Regen: 0.05/sec Strength: 25(+40) Agility: 20(+35) Dexterity: 15(+30) Vitality: 10(+15) Intelligence: 10 Wisdom: 10 Luck: 10 Leadership: 0 Skills: Greatsword Mastery Title Effects:

I stared at the status quivering in excitement for what seemed like 10 minutes until Eden broke the silence. "So, what do you think?" Eden lazily said. "I love it." I stated with no small amount of joy in my voice.

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Sitting Under a Torn Umbrella
Man is for man - this is an old slogan today. It has lost its uniqueness for the cause of self-centred mentality. Now we cannot hear the chorus songs of unity. Rather the sound of cacophony always do disturb our hearing organ by imposing acute disparity. We don't fly the flag of harmony, uncompromising corrupted selfish hands try to disconnect the rope of the flying flag to take undue advantage. Human being lacks of humane quality. Strangulation of faith is seen here and there. We are losing hope day by day. The act of deflowering is an art. The dignity of woman is mercilessly crushing under the wheel of gender inequality. Filial piety sinks into the ocean of disbelief. Every moment we do feel pangs of neglect sitting under a torn umbrella.
