《From Max to Zero to God》Chapter 4- Creeping Caves
Advertisement
The first calamity brought upon the age of dungeons. They are… a strange phenomenon, they are a treasure for those who love adventure, a calamity for cowards, and an act of god for religions. But the several governments treated these dungeons as resources, countries like China and America dumped all their players into dungeons, promising them immense wealth.
It was why China and America became extremely powerful countries in the future. Meanwhile, Japan focused on stopping all dungeons from opening, making sure to keep the citizens safe before attempting a dive. A ‘dive’ it quite literally a dive into the dungeon, normally there would be a team of 5, all with different elements to back one another.
Classes would later be fit into four categories: Tank, Damage Dealer, Support, Mage, healer.
But there have been times when people solo dungeons, gaining bountiful rewards and an unknown title…
The moment Han Ling’s feet touches the hard, wet ground…
Tri-ring
Dungeon Quest: Wolf Slayer
Mission:
Slay 40 wolfman. (0/40) Slay 5 LVL 3 wolfman. (0/5) HP above 100. (145/150)
GRR….
A dozen wolfmen stood snarling at the human, showing beastly grins at their luck for a human to run right into their hunt.
12 wolfmen… 4 at LVL 2… 3 at LVL 1. Damn… Looks like I need to spend some money.
Han Ling hit the shop, dumping 500 drabs into a tome of experience.
Tome of experience (Miscellaneous)
Use: Grants player 500 XP once.
Remark: Basically, a cheat item for starters…
A golden glow bathed Han Ling, snaking around his limbs, nourishing the muscle, and hardening the skin. Golden texts form above his head, showing the words LVL 1 before vanishing and replaced with LVL 2.
Han Ling took a look at his stats.

Tri-ring
[Randomizing Class Specific reward…]
[You have obtained Class Specific skill: Sword Aura]
LVL 1 Sword Aura (Class Specific skill)
A sword is imbued with mana, increasing Attack Damage by 10% of Atk. Lasts for 30 Seconds. Cooldown is 60 seconds. Mana cost: 20
Han Ling smiled. Damn where the hell was this luck in my past life? Sword Aura is a top ranked skill for swordsman. There is a 10% chance to obtain the sword aura skill during the LVL 2 advancement. Even Han Ling got the skill after a year of living in Sovereign’s Battleground.
Now I have this skill, all I need is mana and I’ll be unbeatable for a week! The goddess of luck loves me!
Han Ling grinned stupidly at himself, causing the wolfmen to frown. Where did this mental human come from? The LVL 2 leader stepped forward with a growl and Han Ling’s grin vanished, replaced with a cold hard stare. He raised both swords, right arm in front, left over his head, legs bent, like a coiled snake ready to strike. Three wolfman howled, dashing forward with claws outstretched.
Cracks formed on the ground below Han Ling, his legs bulging. Like a loose bullet, Han Ling fired forward, slashing at the first wolfman.

[Slash]
-59 Critical
He took a step forward, and thrust his other sword forward , stabbing straight through the beast’s heart.
“ARGHHHH!!!”
With his LVL 2 strength, he threw the wolfman to the other two. The corpse slammed into the two wolfmen, staggering them for 2 seconds. The moment they regained their balance the human was a feet away from them, both swords raised, eyes gleaming. Panic filled their minds as they raised their claws. But it was too late…
[Slash] [Thrust]
-78 CRITICAL – 73 CRITICAL
His right sword buried into the wolfman’s throat while the left slashed across the other’s eyes. The wolfman on the right grasped his throat, guggling blood from his maw. The other howled as he covered his eyes, blood flowing out the gash.
[You have inflicted debuff BLEED. Enemies shall lose 5% hp every second]
It didn’t take long for both to become still, bodies turning to white dust.
A golden glow flowed over Han Ling once again as the word LVL 3 appeared above his head.
The weaker wolfmen shivered, involuntarily taking a step back, flinching as the human looked at them. His gaze was cold, calm, and calculative… like looking into the deep abyss…
“Who’s next?”

The Boss of Beginner’s Village
Accardi, the World of Chaos and Glory. A well-known virtual reality game, where players could enjoy a new life as magical beings, powerful heroes or even despicable villains. The game’s programmer, our protagonist, accepted a famous web novelist’s proposal and that’s how the story ‘The Rising of the Magic Swordsman’ was born. Counting with Accardi’s finely made world settings and the writer’s creativity on its peak, both the game and the novel became tremendously popular. But before our protagonist could enjoy this popularity or plot the writer’s murder for distorting the world of Accardi, she died. And then she reincarnated, in a place incredibly similar to her own game’s world. Well, it wasn’t. She didn’t know what god she offended, but the world she reincarnated into wasn’t her Accardi, but the novel’s. To make it even worse, she wasn’t just a mob character, but actually a future member of the protagonist’s harem. And although everything was ridiculously troublesome, there was one thing she couldn’t accept: the fact that in the novel, her precious beginner’s village would be destroyed! Since one of the game’s gold rules was ‘no death at the beginner’s village’, our protagonist takes her pride as the game’s programmer to protect the village! Along the way, several individuals join her to help her goal. But as time passes by, they realized... this lass isn’t normal, is she. So, welcome to Doveshire! Hmm? Are you a powerful master traveling around? An highly dangerous wanted criminal? This kingdom’s King? Well, it doesn’t matter! You are all welcome at our humble village! However... you know, right?

Living In Bleach ( Bleach x Reader)
I decided to make another bleach story since I had a great plot come to mind. Also this is an x Reader story, but I don't think you'll fall in love it's more like an adventure like a scenario for you.In this story you end up discovering more things about yourself and what you happen to be (not a soul reaper). This discovery not only helps you develop the truth about what you are, but it also brings new dangers.Posted in 2015, rewritten in 2021: I'm adding more detail to each chapter and fixing up the format. All the chapters will be posted eventually. So far 15 out of 26 are edited and posted.
