《Life is not a game: Ice》Chapter 02
Advertisement
When i started to become aware of my surroundings i started wishing i died i saw blood everywhere. On me, on the walls, on the windows, just…. everywhere and the disfigured body of my friend Nate his blond hair dyed blood red, and his milk white skin was in a pile next to him along with his nails and where his blue eyes used to be are just two dark holes. It did not take a genius to tell he was tortured to death. Kate and everyone else is missing but i do not think they survived just by looking at the building that only one window stayed intact and half a wall destroyed. After what felt like an hour i left the club house and followed the path to the main house. when i arrived only the front door was broken it seemed something was in here looking for something or….. prey. Searching the house room by room i saw that only the front door was broken and the back was opened. i went into my room to grab my wooden katana practice sword i was defenseless right now. That is when i remembered about the abilities i shouted “ability” to see if the screen would pop up and….. nothing i shouted it again and other words until “status”
complete ice manipulation⅓ slots filled
I decided to poke ice manipulation, and my suspicions were correct as the b;ue box switched to the one it showed me when i first read it. closed the box and wanted to try one last thing “inventory, items” oh that's it surprisingly.
Congratulations, due to being fast to understand the fundamentals, you will receive a random legendary class item [td4]
[td4]health potion x2spirit potion x4stone sword x1SPIRIT INCREASE RING x1
I poked the spirit ring since it was probably the legendary item for multiple reasons but that naming sense.
SPIRIT INCREASE RINGLegendaryPassively increase spirit gain by 20x while meditating (unnamed)Take outBack
well that's good i pressed the take out button as I did a golden ring with strange carvings on it appeared and i put it on and felt no change. I then decided i would try to meditate and as soon as i crossed my legs i felt the ball of energy in my chest began to grow at a steady rate. if this was twenty times faster I would hate to see the normal rate.

After i had time to think i decided to spend as much time as i can to increase my spirit since it is probably like mana in a game and my ability puts me into the mage category. The next thing is to learn how to use my ability so i can actually fight and protect myself….. no to be strong enough to protect people i may care about in the future if i'm weak i will be a burden and everyone will die again. I will not let that happen again. I will stay here hiding from monsters until the food runs out in the cabenant since i can't cook since the electricity is off and it might draw in something hungry.
It has been a week since then and i am almost out of food. I have also started to grasp my powers basics i can create a sharp shard of ice and con control it up to five feet around me, However, a problem… more like three. Three small greyish creatures that I am calling goblins are making camp in my living room and still unaware i'm here but are blocking me and the rest of my food. i have already decided that i would kill them since to get stronger i would need to get experience with fighting and killing to survive. I pulled out my ‘health potion’ to look at what it is. it was a small glass container about the size and width of an average pinky. Another interesting thing i have found out about is that I can not put it back to items no matter how much i tried i learned that with the stone sword that is heavy and dull and is more of a club than a sword.
I wait until a goblin to pass through my bedroom hall and as soon as I see one i hit it at the top of the head and knocked it out and drag the goblin into my room. By then i realized how sweaty and shaky I became since I was nervous and scared but I knew i could not stop now as I slam the stone sword into its face to make sure it was dead. the face was now horribly disfigured even more than it was in the first place. I took out some oak scented candles and lit them with the lighter in my dresser then placed them at the door in case the goblins can smell the blood. I then formed a small knife out of ice that was not as sharp as I wanted but will do. i lean the goblin against the wall look at the knife floating in the air that already started melting as i controlled it to pierce organs i believed were vital for practice. I know it is a sick thing to do but, the world of before is now destroyed, my friends are dead, and my family are probably dead also. I need to throw away the morals I have built up if i want to survive or protect no matter how much i throw up from sticking ice knives into a goblin. afterwards I noted the lethality of my power although it only lasts 30 seconds until it melts. So i decided to make them into thin needle like icicles that last ten seconds until it is unusable which is more than enough time sense i can cover a fifty foot radius with that much time since I can mentally make the needle fly fast. Then it struck me i created two needles and started to move them awkwardly at first but then they started to match since i figured to try to view them as limbs and i finally can control two.

I figured now is the time for them to start looking for their lost comrade so I opened the door and peeked outside and there was one of them holding a wooden club staring at me. I almost screamed from the surprise but when it started to run at me while screaming like a madman. I created 5 needles and threw them all out of fear with little control. The result i missed most of them due to the fear. One hit its arm and broke off while another got just above its nose hitting bone and quickly melted while the rest flew past and bounced off the wall and broke due to the lack of speed from controlling five. I quickly regained my senses since I knew i needed to calm down to fix my mistake and kill it quickly because the other one most likely heard and is coming.
I form another small needle and send it directly into the goblin's eye at about fifty miles per hour. As soon as it went into the goblin's eye it’s friend came around the corner seeing it’s friend died before it hit the ground it got scared and started running away.
“Not so fast fucker get back here!” I yelled running after it.
If it leaves there is a chance that it will bring more so i form two more needles and as soon as I seen it when I turned the corner I shot them at It’s legs to bring it down. I was able to hit it in it”s back of the knees to bring it down. I ran up to its crawling and screaming body trying to crawl towards safety. It made me sick but i have seen much worse so i just rammed an ice knife in its eye to kill it. I decided to bring it inside i will be staying here for two more days for shelter and to…. dissect the goblins to learn there weak points.

i would like feedback and for you guys to point out mistakes to better my writing I am planning to edit this and ch1 also i am probably not going to do tables for a while since i am using a laptop

But these relics of another time have been left well-defended and behind bewildering and impenetrable security measures.There are those who are compatible with the alien technology, who can augment themselves to face the evermore extreme protocols in the depths of the alien ruins, and by doing so attain greater power. And there are those who just want to sell what they find to the highest bidder.The rewards are high, but you have to be prepared to go further and risk more to discover the greatest secrets of a civilisation that vanished long before the first human walked upright.
