The branch i am on is only about two times my size off the ground and half as thick as the tree's trunk, horizontal, that's why i retreat and go further away form the trunk and, when i see the two others standing in the branch and nearing, i crouch slightly. Aaaand jump! I go directly off the branch towards the one-armed other that is gathering rocks. As i fall One-arm widens it's eyes and hurriedly throws the fist-sized rock it has at hand to me, i can't dodge in midair so i make a boxing block with my arms.
*Crack*"Haarg!" As it hits me i feel my left arm go numb but i am now directly in fron of it. Hit. A right sends it reeling just after it manages to pick another rock, and before it can recover... Hit. Again. Another to the gut and an elbow to the head makes it fall before i stomp it for good.
"GYAAAAH!" The ones above are just starting to come back so i pick up one of the rocks on the ground. I aim for the upper body of the one closest and "GYaaAh...*thump*" The other one sees me go for another rock and decides to let go and fall the rest of the distance. After it has fallen it manages to dodge it by crouching and drags it's friend behind the tree.
Damn it, i can't do this with only one arm. As i start thinking of running before they come out again i take a glance at my left arm. What the? My arm's fine, i take cover behind a tree and lift my arm to my face to try moving it. No pain, no numbness, hell, it isn't even sore! *Crack* They're moving! I stop breathing to focus on their steps, they get near then stop. The rocks. And then they start moving again, together. I move slowly circling the tree to keep standing in their blindspot, taking care to step when they do to mask any little noises they may hear so that they don't know which tree i'm behind of.

"GYAAAAH!" This game of hide-and-seek continues for a few minutes with me changing trees two times until one of them starts screaming in a rage,
"GYAAgH!" Friendly fire? I risk a peek and see them tumbling on top of one another, rocks in hands and aiming for the head. *Crack!* The one below gets a good hit and capitalizes on the other's pause. *Crack!**Crunch* Now! As it tries to get the body on it's top off i rush in and kick it in the side of it's head, as it reels from the hit i kneel before it and bring my rock in an overhead strike with both hands. *Crunch*. Well, that was anticlimatic...
"HAHAHA!, WELL DONE NEWBIE!"
When?
"WOAH! WHAT A SPECTACLE! WE HAVEN'T HAD A RUN SUCH AS THIS ONE IN A LONG TIME! HOW ABOUT AN OVATION FOR OUR LITTLE SIBLING!"
As my hand is raised by the one that brought me here i am suddenly greeted by a shout like a thousand bombs going off next to my head.
"GRRHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHA! WELL DONE NEWBIE! NOW TELL US! WHAT MAY WE CALL YOU FROM NOW ON?"
It can be the equivalent of my new brain still being rattled by that 'ovation', but the question has taken me by surprise, after all, everything i had done since i died had been done by order, with little choice, or without any regard to my opinion or knowledge, so now i need a few seconds to compose myself and think of an answer.
"Ahem! Hello fellow... siblings? I'm honored to be here today and i thank you for your ovation. I present myself to you as..." How do i call myself now? Perhaps? Nah, but... i may as well...

Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?
