《A Titan Tale》13. Conflict
Advertisement
After completing the mission, Rishabh was on his way back home, when he heard some sound. He wanted to leave the spot immediately when a dagger flew towards him.
Like a civilized citizen, he returned dagger back, only to hearing a cry few second later. Using the mana vision, he saw an archer in blue cloak fighting the gang in red attire, with skull imprinted on it.
He muttered, "In the novels, regressor usually have complete memories, but why don't I have one", after sighing he walked away. Later on, he fought against some beasts he encountered on the way. When he reached the gate, he found fifty to hundred players standing in the path.
"Can you give me the way, I wanted to…" Rishabh got cut off, by the player. "Do you think, I would let you go easily after what you did to me?"
"Who might you be?" Rishabh asked in confusion.
"YOU BASTARD.." shouted the player and said, "WE HAVE FIGHT IN MORNING…"
"Are you sure?" Rishabh asked to affirm everything. Instead of that, he was attacked by various spells, which he blocked easily. After the bombardment paused, Rishabh snapped his finger, when a roar could be heard from the city.
Julie landed behind him. Looking at the player in front of him, Rishabh said, "could you take care of them?"
"Why should I?" she asked with annoyed expression. Hearing this, Rishabh's mouth twitched, he said in low voice, "because I am your master."
She wanted to say something, but become silent looking at his impatient expression and attacked the gang in front of him. She only used two skills, [Fire breathe] and [Claw slash] to clear the ground without giving chance to react. Surprisingly enough except for the boy, everyone is dead.

"Why did you leave me alive?" he asked in confusion.
"Who are you?" Rishabh asked once again. Hearing that, veins started to appear on the boys face, replied, "I am Joseph Smith, from …."
"I don't care about your background. I will only say this, don't mess with me once again, otherwise death will be privilege for you", as soon as he completed a left him, to be eaten by Julie.

Outside the game
In a mansion, a youth walked out of his game capsule in anger. He walked towards the gym and started punching the sandbag in frustration.
"What happened young master", a man appeared in butler attire, which indicates the status of the boy, as with advancement of time many people opt to recruit bots as butler and maids.
"PINAKA" he said while gritting his teeth, and ordered, "FIND HIM?" While rubbing his face.
"Wait", taking the deep breathe, he calmed down, and ordered "I want you to find as much information regarding the game you could gather and create a strategy for us. From now on, this game will be priority for our organization, and there are two things which we needs to ensure."
"One, I want our organization to have marginal gap with other studio, while we remain the strongest and other is that you should gather information about PINAKA."

Rishabh walked towards his studio, most of the employees are inside the game. Looking at them, he smiled and entered his office, where he found several documents for him to check. Swiping the office table (a holographic display system), he found several documents indicating the information about players like there progress in game and in training.
After this he opened up the forum, and looked at various requests of the players. Some asked him to bring another player for streaming, some asked him to look for a party for dungeon dive while some wanted him to enter the unexplored area.

Next day
"Good Morning everyone", Rishabh said looking at the camera in front of him, with five players beside him, and pointed the camera at them, he said, "as per request I am going to dungeon diving today, and later on I will go for the dungeon exploration. They are Archer BlueLily, Tank BabuKatar, Swordsman Hunkarbhai, Mage Silvemoon and Healer Sherathun."
"We are going for recently found C-rank dungeon called Imp Labyrinth with imp as inhabitant…." and explained all the things he had found about.
From far away, a Joseph was staring at him in anger, when a low voice said, "if you follow me, you will gain strength, which you desire very much." Hearing it, Joseph nodded, and disappeared in the darkness.

Soon Rishabh and his company entered the dungeon. They appeared in a cave, full of darkness. After summoning the lamp, they made there way inside.
*Swoosh*
Lily shot an arrow, followed by shriek, looking at the camera, Rishabh said, "action time", while winking.
He watched from the sideline, and instructed, "Archer to the 5 o'clock. Mage please shoot fire ball towards the corridor in right side….."
After the fight was over, Silvermoon asked, "Why did you not join the fight?"
"Well, they aren't worth my time. Don't worry, I wouldn't take anything from the loot either, and if you wanted, I would make up for the exp I will get from here", Rishabh replied. Hearing this, Katar said, "Nope, you don't have to do that bhai. We are also gaining something from this", while dragging the Silvermoon away.

A Prose of Years
For decades, spiritualist Evert Kallstrom and his team have joined in humanity’s millennia-long fight against the beasts. Wielding their weapons and their ki, they fought and killed these great threats to civilization. And yet, despite their efforts, humanity was losing traction in the war. In the last fifty years alone, more cities had been overrun than in all of known history. While most thought the great beasts natural, a few knew the terrible truth. They were the product of a dark lord, who desired neither fame nor wealth nor power. Instead, his sole purpose was the genocide of humanity. While their peers dithered, a small faction of the strongest mankind had to offer—including Evert Kallstrom and his team—set out towards the Deadlands to find and confront this dark lord. After weeks of travel, twenty-one spiritualists found themselves approaching an ancient fortress wherein rested a being known only as the Eastern Guardian. All they found was death. But death has other plans for Evert. Evert bolts awake in his 16 year old body near his hometown, decades in the past. He is confused, poor and weak. But with grit, sweat, and years of experience, he won't let the future repeat itself. That level of strength won't be enough by itself (it wasn’t last time) and victory is hardly assured (he’ll need to reach farther and higher than he ever did), but Evert refuses to squander a second chance. [Other tags: First Person POV, Hard Magic, Faulty Memory] Volume 1 is complete and has been fully released. My current intention is not to write any sequel volumes. That said, I have also released appendices (SPOILERS) that cover the worldbuilding and future story-that-never-was. Comments suggesting fixes for grammar, misspellings, etc. appreciated. Note: If you came here from Candlelit Lives, these stories have nothing in common.
