《The Egotistical Ruler [DROPPED]》Chapter 10: The Second Early Wave V

Chapter 10, don't feel like saying anything else
-About time you finished getting ready, that was an extra hour longer than you said
Overseer said "I'm sorry but morale has started to drop as the time to act comes near."
'Maybe another peptalk will suffice'
Emperor stood on top of a bench that was being used to set supplies on but now was empty since everyone was packed up and ready. Then he noticed something a bit off, there was someone wearing beginner's garb in the crowd.
'Haha another player, time to make him seethe with jealousy.'
-Everyone listen to me. Today is a day that will go down in history. Some people may say this is just a small scale battle and just a spec passing time. But we will use this chance to be reborn. This isn't the end, it's just the beginning. First we shall destroy this puny wave of monsters, next we'll discover and route the source, then we'll begin to build ourselves into a world power. DO YOU HEAR ME!
The player(or champion as the NPCs call them) started laughing but stopped as the crowd began to cheer loudly.
-Everyone be it villagers or champions shall fight. Young champion what is your name?
"My name is Stagola" said Stagola
'Interesting name'
-Well then Stagola take up a weapon and help us fight.
Stagola tried not to laugh then started making hand motions as a window invisible to Emperor appeared in front of him.
"I accept this quest" responded Stagola
'He actually accepted with that difficulty?! Oh well he'll make for some good fodder'
"Hero when do we set out?" said Tom who was now sober.
-Now of course
Emperor, Stagola, the 3 kids, and the militia set out towards the horde of monsters. Stagola decided to gather info from the villagers and then asked Emperor "So boss,what the hell are we facing here?"

-Wolves, big ones, Their numbers were close to 150 when I saw them, but we should expect even more now. They were waiting to attack so they must've been waiting for more to gather.
"Oh wow, that's impressive, I've heard you've fought against these wolves before." said Stagola smugly
'Is he... trying to raise familiarity with me. Does he honestly believe that I'm an NPC with an appearance like this?'
-Yes well as a champion I expect you to pull your own weight, don't expect me to babysit you
Stagola showed an irritated face thinking 'D*mn my attempts to raise familiarity backfired. Are event NPCs less vulnerable to kissa**ing?'
Soon enough the group tensed up as they were deep in the forest and there was sounds of wolves howling in the distance. All the members cringed with fear debuffs except Emperor.
-The enemy is just ahead, don't falter charge
Leadership increased by 1
Emperor started running and the rest of the group followed. Stagola thought 'This event NPC managed to remove that debuff, maybe he's better than I thought.'
Soon wolves started running towards the group from all directions. The villagers with their high morale from being well equiped and lead by a Hero began to attack the wolves with makeshift spears, glaives, pikes, swords, farming equipment, swords, and a few were just swinging around scrap metal. Stagola was hiding in the center while the group shared exp., allowing him to quickly level and allocate points.
Emperor shouted "Bull Charge" and charge at the enemies in front. His charge hit one of the wolves and killed it despite it not being a crit hit nor did he launch it.
'I'm so OP right now'
Emperor then noticed a wolf fall over near him after a villager cut its leg. It didn't die but there was so many wolves that the villager changed his focus rather than finishing it off. Emperor took advantage of this.

-Crush
Critical hit, skill leveled up
He crushed the wolf with his body and his weight caused the wolf to hurl blood into the air. A brutal Wolf Blood Fountain sprayed all over his body. He started laughing jovially and then set his sights on his next target.
Leadership increased by 1
'How'd that happen, does it increase automatically in battle?'
Emperor didn't realize that his display of brutality towards the wolves and even laughing on the battlefield made the villagers morale surge. The villagers became more desensitized due to this to and began performing brutal acts themselves as the leader influences the group. Stagola was shocked to see even kids on the battlefield ganging up on one wolf and bludgeoning it to death.
Stagola thought 'This event is amazing, I'm so glad I chose such a remote place and turned on mature content.'
Emperor then began to experiment new moves to try and create new skills since his current skill set was lacking and the villagers seemed fine.
New skill created: Impale
This skill was created after he stabbed a few wolves with the spikes all over him. He started using it to prevent the wolves from pouncing on him and creating a dog pile.
New skill created: Heavy punch
This skill was created after he went into a Bull Charge like stance but punched the enemy instead of headbutting/crashing into them. He hit one of the wolves with this directly on the forehead and it bleed from every hole it had and its eyes popped out. After dissipating the eyes were left over so he scooped them up.
New passive skill created: Goremeister
This skill was created due to him continually using and creating skills that cause gruesome damage to the enemy.
Soon afterwards an especially large growl reverberated throughout the battlefield causing both man and beast to pause. Emperor seemingly belonging to neither group killed one more wolf before a giant wolf came into view.
Seems sorta generic with the Alpha Wolf appearing but trust me I've got some original content coming within five chapters. I'm pumping out chapters so fast because I already decided what to do. Executing it is much harder though plus I add in things along the way that's why it takes so long. Also Stagola the new character is also an intelligent character. Think of him as those crazy b*stards that hack into games just for bragging rights and find ways around in-game filters hence his name. P.S. don't look up Stagola on Google Images, you'll regret it. Don't be a victim of the internet.

Renewal and Rebirth
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Interstellar travel. Life extension medicines. Advanced AI's All of these meant nothing to Jayden, she had been born too soon, her body unable to process the new technology. She was approaching the end of her life and had a choice to make. Deep Dive VR had progressed and real digitization and uploading was now an option for those unable to use life-extension treatments. For all the science the Human race had developed, Jayden was forced to take a different path. She would be digitized and explore a new world. One where cultivation and dinosaurs blended together. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!
