《Earth: The Gods' Playground》Chapter 18
Advertisement
Author note: Slightly shorter chapter, I felt the next events should be in chapter 19.
Seeing this strange black wolf with two other with similar looks ones at sides there's only one thing I can think of, the Direwolf pack leader.
Covered with black metallic looking fur, deadly claws and fangs, it speaks itself about it's strength.
It slowly steps and walks cautiously towards us.
I focus and check them.
Iron Fur Direwolf Pack Leader
Level 12
Direwolf leading it's own pack, higher intelligence, iron furred variant. good defense.
Iron Fur Direwolf
Level 8
Variant of Direwolf, greater defense thanks to metallic like fur.
Looks like final battle is coming. I slightly tilt my head stealing glance if First finished his fight.
"Good." I say as I slowly take fighting stance.
This will be a bit dangerous. I point in front.
"Third, move swiftly these bodies in front of us, and make simple cover." Thi will force them to take our sides or jumping above it, but it leaves them open to my attack.
That leader seeing Third touching dead wolves makes gurgling sounds indicating his anger.
After a moment we are covered from the front and I stand in the middle behind it and Third will kill anything from right side.
He will have support of First and co.
The wolf group is closer and closer. I step a bit on the cover of corpses and make my attack first surprising them.
"Dark bolt!"
"Dark bolt!"
"Dark bolt!"
"Dark bolt!"
"Dark bolt!"
I kill five wolves from right side to make it easier, my mental energy will make me unconscious in about 5-6 more spells.
Just before they charge madly I access new skeletons status and upgrade their status overally.
Direwolf pack leader and it's two bodyguards are just around a corner.

I swiftly cast three more spells, initiating the clash.
"Curse of Agility! x3" Slowing them down I ready to pierce the first wolf who avoids the cover and rushes from the left.
Crash! I hear from behind me that Third and the other have started fighting, I hope they will manage themselves.
Finally I see wolf, just as it sees me it opens it's mouth to rip me with sharp fangs.
In spike of deadly moment I keep my calm mind thanks to high spirit and mercilessly attack it's throat!
Stab!
My spear arrives faster striking and killing it.
"One done, many more to go." I turn behind to check the situation after fast clash.
Stab! Crash!
Third holds his own and kills one wolf while other strikes against his shield.
Turning further right I see First and archers sniping wolves while Second and another spear skeleton fight to keep 3 wolves at bay.
After an instant First pierces head of one of wolves besieging and loads another arrow not stopping.
Roar!
I turn swiftly and see Wolf leader finally making a move against me.
Thud!
I then hear what supposedly is one of the bodyguards striking Third.
Twang!
And just next instant voice of bowstring being released.
"Gruurglu!" Panicking cry escapes wolf as it becomes seriously wounded.
But not keeping me in suspension, one of body guards jumps above to ambush me!
Wolf leader then strikes from the left.
In crisis I hit ground with my spear while jumping, I then kick the wolf bodyguard before it reacts.
"Argh!" Even with my boots, my feet is in pain, what a hard fur!
No more time. As I'm above I can see at the end of my field of view, wolf leader crashes under me and hits my spear.

I loose hold of it and it flies away.
"Damn!" I curse.
While still being above I cast Dark bolt spell which makes a hole in Direwolf pack leader back but not enough from killing it, then falling at it. Where the knocked off bodyguard by me leaps to end my life.
Without a weapon, I can only send another Dark bolt.
But it anticipated that and dodges.
I manage to stand up to meet it, as I cannot escape.
Leap!
Wolf bodyguard leaps and strikes the hand I used to block the claw.
Blood spills as my flesh is sliced apart, but thankfully my bones hold on.
It crashes into me and covers me with it's body ready to bite my neck.
Powerless I can only use my other hand to block.
Stab!
"Grugh!" Just as my hand was blocking, arrow flies and beautifully strikes the head, piercing the brain!
After deadly moment fades, my mind remembers wounded arm.
"Aaaaah!" I scream and faint.

3rd POV
From side of Thomas you can hear clacking footsteps.

Lost In Translation
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things. And people have branded me a myth. But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone. My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen. These are what real myths are. And me? I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick. Discord link here. [Disclaimer: Book 1 of this story will likely be published in KU by around the start of 2022, so please keep that in mind. Book 2 and onwards will continue here until they are published as well.]

Mistbound: Eternity
The world is said to be formed out of duality of man. Good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark. And with duality, comes conflict. A meaningless clash of ideals results in pointless wars. Azlan is wanderer who doesn't falls in either category. Tired and done with the redundant world, he lives his secluded life, hunting monstrosites for coin in the crumbling province of Mountaliya, situated in the land of Forsa. The premise follows Azlan as he explores the province, experiencing the culture and its people as they try to stand unshaken amidst a cold and unforgiving world. The story is a dark fantasy that is a balance of action and world building but most importantly, it follows the people going about their daily lives. The world has entered a state of stasis, there are no high stakes, no glory to be had, only a decaying realm of ice remains. Everyone awaits for Heaven's descent, an event prophesied to bring the world out of stasis, by granting the champion of the event a wish. Heaven Shall Descend. I wanted to write a high fantasy story that doesn't focuses too much on Magic and Swordfights, but rather interactions between people, a bit of politics and ideals. This is my first attempt at writing something this huge, please let me know if you see mistakes or any problems in general, so I can learn from them. (The cover picture is from the year 1818, "Wanderer Above the Mist" by Caspar David Friedrich). I also write Short stories set in the same shared universe.

Lord of cauldrons
A man reincarnated to a world where cultivation ruled supreme. One were even practices like human cauldrons and dual cultivation was commonplace and a part of the culture. What was not commonplace was treating these cauldrons with any ounce of respect or affection. These cauldrons were like pills or potions to be used and consumed or thrown away. They were often just a stepping stone in one's immortal path. One man thought, "What if they were my immortal path." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My chinese knowledge is limited to wuxia/xianxia books and cultivator games and I will only follow it loosely, I have my own cultivation system which will be basis for this story The reason I am writing this is because I have yet to find a dual cultivation story that has something I really wanted to read. Using the 'cauldrons' like Pokémon and the 'cauldrons' being the main source of power. I will update this at a minimum of once per week.
