《The Egotistical Ruler [DROPPED]》Chapter 8:The Second Early Wave III
Advertisement
First off I can see whoever is reading my FF and how many and I'm honored to have over 500 views on some of my chapters and eccentric personas like xsomeblackjewx reading my FF. Also yes I use Oxford Commas, don't hate.
After opening the gate Kyle, Keith, and Katy ran out and were about to set out when they heard some cussing behind them.
Keith helped Emperor up while saying "Why didn't you tell us you were back?"
Kyle also helped Emperor up "Where were you?"
Katy said "Tom told us you were out in the forest playing with the monsters."
'Oh yeah there was these guys I forgot about them. More importantly the quest.'
-No time for questions, quick run ahead and warn everyone, there's another early wave coming that's even bigger than the last one.
Hearing Emperor's serious tone(mainly greed for the reward) the kids ran off assuming his tone meant the situation was grave.
Quest Complete, Reputation with Gerussia +50, Familiarity with the Village of Sicheren Untergang increased, LevelX2
Quest:Drunken Sprawl
Difficulty: D+
Time Limit: 1 week
Thanks to your prewarning the villagers will stop celebrating and become on guard to attacks. This will delay the early wave for 2 days and allow the villagers to hold out for a week. Convince the villagers to attack the wolves before they hit or help out in the village defence.
Reward: Based on contribution
Failure: You die or the time runs out
Effects of failure: Village of Sicheren Untergang falls and becomes a monster den
Extra: Attempting to crush the wave alone will increase the difficulty to B
'Wow the game really wants this to become a monster den but its mine.'
-I accept, I will not allow the start of my glorious empire to fall here.

Quest Accepted
'Now to prepare, if I time it right I can complete 2 quests at once. First off is my armour next is convincing the denizens to rally behind me.'
Emperor headed off to the blacksmith shack and found the partygoers sobering up and some of them taking up weapons. Schmied was laughing jovially seeing as his stock was saved from the party.
'Wait the people are still here and drunk so it should be easy to convince them now.'
Emperor climbed onto a pile of scrap and shouted over to the people.
"Listen here! Will all of just continue as you are now! Covered in dirt, disheveled and distraught little lambs waiting for the big bad wolf to gobble you up! Rise up bring the fight to them, take up your weapons, prepare them, and then cut down the enemy before they even come close! Will you forever just repair the walls and drink waiting for the day you die, or will you unite under me and fight back! My name is Emperor and I'm your future lord, follow me as I will strike down this puny wave then find the source!"
Skill use successful, Skill leveled upX2, Stat leadership created
The people cheered together and rallied together. Despite their lack of sobriety they began sharpening their weapons. Schmied also affected got up and was about to head into the forge.
-Wait Schmied, can you repair my armour.
Schmied responded "Dat's no problem 'ere we go. But it's covered with dirt n' grime especially dried blood. 'E could scrape it off but the armour is sh*t so instead e'll just melt down some scrap and patch 'er up. Should take about 4 hours 'ive or take."
'I think I'll go to sleep so I'll just recommend some adjustments'

-Well the wave won't happen for at least 2 days from the looks of things so do whatever you can. Also add on more jutting pieces because they cut up those wolves when they ganged up on me. I have a feeling I might end up in the same situation. Especially this crownlike part, it's good for my image so make it longer and shiny. People like shiny things.
"Well alwighty then, see ya later den."
Emperor was leaving when Schmied said his goodbyes so he waved in response and left the shack. The partygoers cleared out so the scrapyard was empty except for Tom who was still dancing and too drunk to be aware of what conspired there.
-Log out
Lynford got out of his Coma and thought of something.
'CLIFFHANGER'

From Nothing
Rejoice Humanity! You have been invited to join the Galactic Hegemon. It is time for our Centenary Caste Competition. The best 1% of humanity will be given a 1 cycle tutorial before the 5 cycle contest. Be brave, be bold, but most of all, be strong and earn your place and privileges. Burning red letters hung large in the vision of everyone on earth that knew a written language. At the same moment that smartest, fastest, and strongest people on the planet disappeared with nothing to mark their passing. After a cycle of training and growth they would compete to earn their place in their suddenly expanded galaxy. This is not their story. Joe did his best to take care of his parents house and stay healthy. He was the only one of the four family members not chosen. The societal upheaval made by the announcement made the inflation and purges of the 20's seem pleasant by comparison but he keeps his head down and survives. Once the next message arrives 11 months later about the contest starting, even that society broke down into city states around large population centers. Joe tightened his belt and looked forward to the day that his family returned. Two years later burning red letters once again filled his vision. Humanity, the last of your competitors have been eliminated. Your determined caste level is 13 of 13. As such your planet has been claimed and will be repurposed for ideal resource production. Rifts will be seeded across the planet to increase resources and mana density. Your orbit will be corrected to ideal Hegemon standard. Do not interfere with any Hegemon activity, as the bottom caste you have no rights. Rejoice that all castes receive at least the basic Hegemon Growth System. Better luck next century. Joe didn't comprehend any of it. His family was dead. Everything he cared about was gone.

Amethyst Phoenix
A sweet nectar drips before me. All other sources of sustenance have dried up. I’m afraid to drink it because I’ve seen the consequences of even a drop too much. It can be a poison, but we are nothing without it. I have been nothing without it. A husk. But once I drink this sap from the forbidden fruit, it cannot be undone, regardless of whether I take too much. I choose to take this leap through the void. And so I raise this ancient cup. I will not die a husk. A man without ambition is reborn in the body of Aegis Hyades Rastine to a world of fairy tales, only to find that it's as screwed up as any other. War, rape, pillaging, torture, starvation, slavery, genocide... You know, the good old stuff plaguing (Did I mention there were plagues too?) earth. How will he survive? Can he even? Note: This is the first story I've ever written, so I'd appreciate some cut throat critiques on my writing.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
