《Earth: The Gods' Playground》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Author note: Sorry for no release yesterday, I have guests in the house and can barely write this chapter with spare free time. I left some space between lines so I hope it's easier for eyes, please leave a comment if you like it.
After about 15 minutes, we arrive at her house.
"...So when goblins will have a great battle with the Troll you will use magic and create one each Fire wall at his sides, I then will charge and attack while you bombard him with fireballs. But remember to take action after both sides sustain injuries. Since I am no match for Troll in his perfect state."
I explain her my plan as we step upstairs, by the window I can see First standing guard faithfully.
"You know... I can't always say 'you' when talking with you. What is your name?"
"I'm Monic." Says middle aged lady.
"Okay Monic, so Village Chief is in his house?" I ask while looking at his house
.
"Yes I really saw him. I think he waits for rescue."
"I can't get to him from the front as there is 50 goblins and on the other side is steep cliff." I say with concern.
"I'd rather choose climbing."
"So you're going?" Asks Monic worriedly.
"Yes, you wait here Monic. I will return with Village Chief powered up." I reply as I step down the stairs and leave.
~~~~
"Now, to climb side of his house safely I should start from down there. It's a bit high, but I'm stronger now."
I carefully jump.
Swoosh...Slam!
"Ugh, even with this 1.5 vitality it's still painful, if I was normal I would already have broken something."
I look up at my skeletons.

"You two, guard the door to the house." I shout while running to place just under Chief house.
~~~~
I never climbed before, I hope it's easy. I leave my spear further away and check my equipment.
"Let's go!" I psyche myself up.
Carefully placing my limbs on stable positions and using 3 limb unmoved rule, I turn by turn use other hands and legs while slowly picking up height.
After a while, looking up I see that I'm halfway to my destination.
"Just a bit more."
I place right hand on rock.
Crack...
That doesn't sound good, I quickly try to move to side but loose rock hits me and causes me to fall.
Slam!
"Uhh, It's not that easy as I thought."
~~~~
Slam!
~~~~
"Ahh!"
Slam!
~~~~
After few more falls I learned how to climb the hard way, good thing my body was tougher than normal and I ended up with some light bruises.
After last meter I slowly push my body up while leaning to the front, and finally I climbed this damn cliff!
"Finally I did it!"
Looking around I see window not far away and with my powered jump I reach it neatly.
I open it and step inside.
"It's bathroom. Good thing it was empty or I would hear scream."
Walking out of room I start exploring the house of Village Chief.
While walking I eat some sandwich I prepared before at home.
"He really is well off, that Chief." I comment as I watch every corner I can.
~~~~
Finally after sightseeing Village Chief home I meet him crouching just below window from where you can see goblin forces.
"Hello" I walk to him.
"Ah? Ahh! Stay away!" He looks startled.
"I'm human, don't you see, I won't harm you." I assure.

"Nno! You must be in pact with those...monster outside!!!" He stands and leaps at me.
"Die monster!" He swings the knife in his right hand.
I dodge easily and catch his hand.
"Stop it!" I slap him lightly.
"Don't eat me!" He tries to punch me in the face.
"Oh, well." I punch him, knocking him out.
"Ough..." He falls.
"Maybe he will regain his mind after quick nap."
As he lays there I look around the room, looks like Chief moved his food supplies here and was observing the situation.
I sit near the window to rest a bit.
"Looks like it will take a bit of time. Let's check shop."
Looking at my status I see that I gathered a fair amount of money.
A whole 98 copper. I'm rich.
Now...let's check items of interest.
"Hmm, last magic of Death affinity is curse, how it works?"
I focus and screen appears.
Curse 60c
Low level spell using to weaken enemies. When casting user must add status he wants to weaken. Status of same leveled being is lowered by 10%, weaker being by 15%, stronger being by 5%.
"It should be useful when weakning strength of that troll."
I buy it, now I have 38 copper. Let's browse some helpful items.
Orb of Intelligence 5s
Grants undead intelligence/self-awareness. Undead keeps his memory of no-intelligence past, works only on weak undead, stronger undead starting from level 50 start forming intelligence little by little.
Ring of Recovery 2s
Increases wound recovery of the body by equivalent of 1 vitality.
Amulet of Fire Coat 1s
Coats user body in weak fire magic, causes enemies who touch user, burning slight damage.
Lesser Fire God Sacrificial Altar 25c
Altar used to sacrifice body of enemy to use as offering to God of Fire, can ask for one weak wish.
Amulet of Necromancy 50c
Increases mental control of undead, can rise 1 undead more.
Lesser Soul Prison 50c
Used to store soul of defeated enemy, can be used as offering to god, or used to strengthen spirit of user or undead granting them random trait at the level of stored soul.
A lot of expensive things...but just look at those uses!
Sadly I can buy only altar, I will use it to pray for some blessing for battle with troll.
Those other things will be very efficient in increasing my power.
I want to catch the soul of Troll boss, I'm sure it will be good.
Ring of recovery and fire coat would be nice for this fight, but too expensive.
After Lesser Soul Prison I should buy as fast as possible Amulet of Necromancy, new undead will surely help even at the cost of 30% experience divided by 4.
Lastly If I manage in incoming days to get a hold of 5 silver I will surely buy Orb of Intelligence, just thinking about talking undead makes me crack a smile, heh.
"Ugh? What's going on?" I hear a voice, looks like our new helper is waking up.
Another step toward my plans...

Forging his own destiny
~~DROPPED~~Story Author: Anuel Proofreaders:Flubbykin (active)Chapters Proofread: 1-7; 28-39; 42-117; 120-133; 169-178; 197 - 211, 220-earliest) Ah, the world, the multi-universe made of perfect cycles. Cycles, which the only purpose is to purify soul – release it from the burden of its memories and experience, the process, that would let the soul be reincarnated again, to experience new life. The world is being born, it is being populated by souls, the smaller and bigger, the world would die and be reshaped anew. In a cycle. A never-ending process. Since the dawn of time, since the countless cycles, the pool of soul was closed, a soul that died could be reincarnated only within a System of its Administrator. Until now. Join us in our story of a single soul which because of certain events could no longer be reincarnated in its original world – being forced to be transferred into Universe ruled another Administrator – another God in world full of Fantasy and Magic, watch him casting aside his previous restriction and try living his life to the fullest… thought someone, somewhere, may have different plans for this weird, weird soul. Ps. There are game elements here Disclaimers and warnings: - This story uses clichés. Like, lots of it. - I am not a native English speaker, so my grammar may not be best (It actually is pretty horrible). First 80 or so chapters are a true butchery for eyes and I admit it. Shouldn’t I correct them then? I should. Why am I not doing it? Who knows. Maybe one day I will. - This story is pretty much an experiment. I try different perspectives, different styles, I can make some random Deus-ex-machina if I would consider that I made mistake in the story and decide to change it. - This story is written for pure fun, if you expect some mind-blowing plots and conspiracy of top-level authors – then you will be most likely disappointed. - Easter eggs. Easters eggs everywhere. Every now and then you will be able to spot single events, characters and lines of text that belong in different stories/mangas/movies/books and such. Of course, they do not belong to me but to the owners, though I am not listing them – I am sorry, but if you need to be told from where line comes, we won’t be friends. - And finally. The story is written for you and WITH YOU. If you have any suggestions, events, characters, skills, class… ANYTHING… you wish to see, please – tell me. In best case scenario I would use them, in worse – I would just not implement them, so what do you lose? Guyz I owe my thanks for their contribution: KenChi?

Thomas the Brawler
Thomas doesn't remember what his last name was, before it became Bluebrim, a name belonging to another universe. He's also pretty sure he wasn't this stupid before he arrived, but what can you do, when a day that was supposed to begin with an interview to set your life back on track instead begins in a universe that makes no sense, with rules you can't begin to understand? Maybe he should have paid more attention to the avatar creation screen ... Content warnings: All of them. Seriously. Expect lots of blue screens to begin with. Don't expect a power-leveling fantasy, in which the lone hero beats up all the bad guys, and gets a harem of women. There's just a guy who treats character creation like an annoying series of pop-up advertisements, and the story is basically the ramifications of that. The main character has to learn to take the world he's found himself in seriously, and he'll learn the way most of us do, by doing it wrong first. This is, insofar as it is successful, a dark comedy fantasy. Also a bit of horror, particularly but not exclusively body horror. I'm pretty sure I've earned those Content Warning tags, so, uh, yeah. This is practice. Hopefully things improve as I go, and figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I make no guarantees things will ever get better. I've already made mistakes, I'll make more, and I'm happy to notice them each time I make them. You don't improve unless you fail. (On the plus side, it probably won't get much worse.) Feel free to point out anything you think I'm doing wrong; I don't promise to change anything, particularly if it's a matter of taste, but I am looking to improve, and figuring out what I need to improve goes faster if I don't have to try to figure it out myself. I've updated the earlier chapters for formatting, in the hope that it would make everything easier to read on mobile devices. Hopefully things work slightly better now, but please let me know if there are any issues anywhere.
