[Battery on Battery]
Hesitates to give up, I aim my gun in the direction where the closest goblin will quickly appear, and as it appears, I immediately shot them until they are dead before the next appears. Like a gunman that was so excellent in sharpshooting, I fired the shot nonstop and taking away all the smaller goblins life as they appear. Then, the two Goblin Warrior soon appears from the side. Looking at so many goblins is lying dead on the ground, the two Goblin Warriors quickly get furious and immediately wield their weapon and charge over to where I am.
I pulled Yong Hang along with me as we take a few rolls down towards the edge where the ground begins to lower. For temporary, we are able to escape, but under the pursuit of two stronger goblins, we have no choice but to try our best to escape, or until some reinforcement had arrived from the Ling Hun Town. One of the Goblin Warrior is equipped with Flying Axe, while another is wielding a hammer, so along the way we are running, we make a curvy corner after a few minutes to remove the threat of the Goblin Warrior managed to get our line of path.
"We are going to die, we are going to die!!" Yong Han mental status started to become weaker as we are getting chased by the two Goblin Warrior, and as I am starting to have a baggage by my side, I have no choice but to force myself to push him forward as we keep running together. Not too long as we run, Yong Han already drops down on the ground, with his mental state become totally mess. In my opinion, he will be pointless to save now, as he started to goes through a mental distress damage because of all this stress.
If I wanted to survive, I only have two choices. Fight, or leave Yong Han and go. I could choose the second option anytime, but in my heart, this will cause an inner regret within myself in the future. Since I am not going through the path from the start, why would I stay away from that now? No matter what, I couldn't make the decision that initially would leave somebody dead while me myself remains alive.

"I JUST CANNOT MAKE THIS DECISION! IF YOU WANT, COME AND TAKE MY LIFE! BUT I AM NOT GOING TO DIE WITHOUT A FIGHT!"
I screamed and withdraws my weapon as I pointed at the direction where the two Goblin Warriors is giving me a chase. The moment one of them appears, I immediately emptied the 12 bullets within the magazine to take down the Goblin Warrior. But like it was protected with all the armour it wore, the bullet failed to even give it a deadly damage. The Goblin Warrior just swipe away all the damaged part of its armour away and reveals a few part of its inner flesh covered by that armour. Next moment, the remaining Goblin Warrior appears from the trees, and come into the battle as well.
I changed another Magazine and prepares to fire my shot. The second Goblin Warrior take a big action and throws the Flying Axe towards where I stand, but the moment I reload my weapon, I immediately aimed at the flying axe and emptied the magazine once again. The twelve bullet immediately counter the flying axe and leaving that axe halfway from where it was supposed to reach.
I quickly reload the weapon again, and without delay, I fired without any hesitation as the bullet immediately force the Goblin Warrior to goes on defensive. But no matter what, all my shots could only cause them to retreat slightly, and not being injured at all. But under this kind of near-death struggles, isn't this worth a slight praise? I did not bother about saving my bullets at all, as I continue to fire until the Demonic Air Shooter within my hand begins to felt slightly hotter than normal.
I know that the weapon is not going to continue holding itself anymore. When this Demonic Air Shooter is jammed, I am going to lose a weapon in my inventory. That moment, I will pull this Yong Han and escape. Not even a minute after I planned my next action, the Demonic Air Shooter immediately got jammed, with a metal slug is stuck between the hammer and the magazine. This also means that my Demonic Air Shooter is no longer usable unless it had been repaired or upgraded.
"Is this worth the exchange?" I think in my mind, as I pulled Yong Han and escape from the location. The two Goblin Warrior is slightly dazed by my repeatedly shooting attempt, but on their health, only about a third is reduced, so this still does not affect their fighting power by too much. But in exchange of my attempts, the armour on their body is more or less destroyed by me, where even with the slightest impact, will render their armour useless in protecting them.

I pulled Yong Han and escape as fast as we could, and at last, we finally exit from the woods as we are about to saw the Rear Entrance of the Ling Hun Town. Looking at the sight in front of me, I saw a few guards are fighting against a few goblins, but with the Goblin Warrior chasing behind me, All I could do is try my best to warn them.
"Goblin Warrior! Goblin Warrior!" I shouted as loud as I could before the weapon on above the Town Wall is turned over to my direction. With the siege weapon on the wall is aiming at the direction I am coming from, I felt a slight feeling of peace because I am protected with a siege weapon that aims at the targets that soon to appear behind me. But then, two arrows are fired from below the wall, as the controller of the Ballista is drop dead.
"FU*K!" I looked at my distress situation once again. This moment, the two Goblin Warrior quickly appears from the woods and chasing me quickly from behind because there are no longer any trees and shrubs disrupting their sight and movements. I stare at the Ballista above the wall and screamed for the second time again.
"GOBLIN WARRIOR! There is two of them over here! Help!"
I shouted as hard as I could, but no matter how hard I tried, I can see nobody man the Ballista to handle the 2 Goblin Warrior chasing from behind me. I felt angry with my decision for a little because I actually remembered the advice given by Ling Tian Ming before I leave the house. "Only a slight mistakes would cost you your life if you rashly go into the fight against the Monsters." Ling Tian Ming's word appears within my mind.
But I am yet to felt giving in to the fate. I turned around and looked at the two Goblin Warrior, and pointed my hand towards the two as I jerk my finger for a few times. Just with this simple movement, I fired four sets of the hidden needle towards the Goblin Warrior, and luckily, two of the needles managed to get into one of the Goblin Warrior's eyes. The Goblin Warrior soon howls loudly to release the pain on his eyes, as the another one turned around and throws his hammer towards where I stand.
The hammer missed, but this doesn't mean that I have any other method to continue fighting either. I have only six more sets of needles in my inventory, and as the Hammer Goblin Warrior turned and tried to walk towards me, I fire another five sets of needles, and two managed to hurt the joint on its main arm, and disabling it for a moment. But the Flying Axe Goblin Warrior soon stands up and charge towards where myself and Yong Han is standing, and being pushed to no other choice, I decided to use my body to defend against this attack.
I lifted my arm up to protect my head, as the punches from the Flying Axe Goblin Warrior came towards me, I am being punched like a sandbag before he lifted me up and toss me over to the side closer to the Town Wall. "ROAR!!!!" the Goblin Warrior screamed loudly as it was going to kill me in front of all people.
I hated myself for putting my own life in this situation. Looking at the Ballista mounted on the wall, and nobody is there to fire the weapon, I felt like the life is actually making fun of me. I am looking for death when I am on earth. And now, the death actually looks for me even I wished to run away from it. How Ironic! Since no matter what I did, death is the only way it seems, I pointed my hand towards the Ballista and says...
"ACTIVATE!"
A selection soon appears before my eyes.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown. Release Schedule The schedule is subject to change, particularly if enough readers end up loving it. All chapters are already written, thus there is enough freedom to modify them.

The Faction Contributor [Sci-Fi LitRPG]
While casually studying for his upcoming university exam, Aven suddenly felt the world around him start warping. It started with flashes of light appearing from nowhere, quickly escalating into his whole world becoming an absolute mess of flickering pixels and chaotic color flows, as if reality had become a malfunctioning glitched screen. What he could recognize as numbers, letters, and strange symbols flew everywhere around him, obviously trying to form a coherent whole to be displayed before his eyes, but such attempts kept failing, again and again. Before he could even start thinking about how both mesmerizing and absurd this spectacle was, however, it all stopped, as suddenly as it had begun. Accompanying the end of this unique show, 2 things happened. First, knowledge had spontaneously appeared in his mind and he could perfectly understand it, as if it had always been there, just inaccessible. Second, a weird simultaneously hot and cold energy had made its apparition inside his body completely unannounced. Aven had just simply and purely awakened his innate ability and the energy potential of his cells, joining the world of the supers, a minority that had always controlled and protected the world since ancient times, by becoming one of them. *** Do you have a sci-fi itch to scratch? Maybe that story can help~ It’s not a comic story that doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s also not a grimdark story, going to the depth of making sure the environment is the worst one ever. It’s just a serious story, a rational one, one you can comfortably dive into, written by a guy who already got some writing experience by having seriously written more than 2 000 pages of another serious story prior to starting this one. Enjoy *** Update: 3 chapters every week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Chapters: Around 3 000 words each.
