《Emperor's Reign》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Most of the day had already had already passed when Aeron stumbled across a small squad of human soldiers.
They were topless, with tattoos scrawled across their skin. They spoke in the Heaven Domain's native language and carried oval-shaped wooden shields and light spears.
They stood a head taller than the average man, and muscles bulged whenever they moved.
Aeron followed them stealthily on their hunt until they returned to their village when night fell.
Aeron made sure to remember where it was and scouted around it for a bit, counting their numbers and weapons.
When he returned, it was around midnight in the Heaven Domain.
He returned to Earth for 3 hours to work out, get something to eat, and take care of his body.
When he returned to the Heaven Domain at 11 PM Earth Time, it was already morning there.
As Aeron looked around, he was greeted by an exhausted but satisfied tailor.
"Your Majesty. I would be honoured to present you with my proudest work, the [King Boar Hide Armour]."
The tailor guided him to the [Tailor] building where 6 sets of armour stood out from the rest.
"I made 6 pieces of [King Boar Hide Armour], but only one of them can be worthy of my Lord."
The tailor gestured towards the armour in the centre of the workshop that looked grander than all the rest.
Superior King Boar Hide Armour (Bronze)
Tough armour that cannot be pierced by any attacks of Stage 1 or bellow.
Grants the wearer +3 Strength and Constitution.
It was well worth waiting the day and a half it took for this to be made, Aeron thought as he replaced his old armour with this one.
He then turned his gaze towards the other 5.
King Boar Hide Armour (Iron)

Tough armour that cannot be pierced by attacks of Stage 1 or bellow.
Grants the wearer +2 to Strength and Constitution.
Truly worthy of being an S rank tailor, Aeron thought.
Equipment was graded based on the stats it provided, not on any extra effects it may have. That was the reason the armour was graded at the Iron and Bronze grades despite being able to resist all attacks from Stage 1 or lower opponents.
With these, Aeron saw hope of defeating the village he saw earlier.
"Good job. Get some rest."
Aeron said towards the tailor.
The tailor nodded and left towards the houses.
Aeron looked around at the rest of the armour in the room. There were two more types: System provided normal grade armour that only offered basic protection from attacks, and some armours made of boar hides.
There were 50 system provided armours if you counted the ones the current military were wearing, and there was eight boar hide armours that seemed to have been made as a warm up or practice before the King Boar Hide ones.
Boar Hide Armour (Copper)
Grants the wearer +1 Strength and Constitution.
These looked like they could be mass produced since the materials were relatively easy to get and they already had a stockpile of them in the [Tailor].
After looking around, Aeron went to visit the [Blacksmith].
There, he found the blacksmith collapsed in front of the cooling bucket.
After checking the blacksmith was okay and moving him to a more comfortable resting place, Aeron looked to the bucket.
The water inside the bucket was frozen and two swords were embedded in the ice. The items were as follows:
Twin Frozen Swords of the Boar King (Silver)
Twin swords made of the tusks of a King Boar and imbued with the ice attribute.

Grants the wielder +4 Strength and Agility per sword
Grants the wielder an additional +2 Strength and Agility if wielding both swords.
Aeron grabbed both blades, sliding them out if the ice that sheathed them, and replaced his sword with these two.
Itching to test them out, Aeron made sure the blacksmith was moved to his bed before setting off into the forest.
He bounded forwards in great strides, weaving around trunks and roots as he did.
His enhanced stats allowed him to speed through the forest with ease.
The noise of his dash attracted the beasts from the surroundings. Not many of them would catch up if he continued running at this speed so he slowed down to a light jog.
Aeron located a clearing and went to it, standing in the centre and waiting for the beasts to arrive.
A pack of wolves prowled out from the tree line, having chased off the other pursuing animals.
They circled him, intending to seal off all his escape routes. Aeron smirked when he saw this, he wouldn't need them.
The alpha stalked forwards and the other wolves closed the circle in on Aeron and got ready to pounce.
The alpha wolf and Aeron locked eyes and sized each other up.
Perhaps sensing the danger Aeron presented, the Alpha backed off to behind its subordinates and barked out an order to attack.
Two blue arcs met the leaping wolves mid-air and then both sides collided.
Aeron protected his head and neck so he came out unscathed, but the same couldn't be said for the wolves.
Two of them had been cut cleanly in half, and another had its paws frozen from where it had made contact with Aeron's swords.
Out of the five that leapt at him, three had been removed from the fight. New wolves stepped up to take their fallen comrades' place in the encirclement.
The alpha commanded them to keep attacking to exhaust the human. Such a strong human would undoubtedly nourish it enough to break through to Stage 1 from its current Stage 0-9 cultivation.
They fought several rounds like this, the wolves always coming out with losses and Aeron unscathed.
His armour was just too tough for such low cultivation beasts to harm him. He only needed to defend his neck and head and they wouldn't be able to harm a hair on his body.
Having exhausted his minions for very little effect, the alpha turned tail and ran.
Aeron finished off the injured wolves before pursuing their fleeing leader.

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK ONE: The Job)
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Then thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed – its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they’re still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They’re also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn’t yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn’t even know is coming … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
