《Taming Master》Chapter 26: (7). Goblins' Campsite -2
Advertisement
Pang-! Pang-!
With a light sound, the clubs of the Goblins that were attacking Harin bounced off. It was because of
the Shield of Brilliance that surrounded her.
“Harin, how much Holy Power do you still have?”
Ian asked as he blocked the Goblins’ attacks.
“I think I can hold out 10 more minutes! Don’t worry about me!”
Harin did better than Ian had thought, therefore, his plan was turning out to be successful.
‘She’s doing well! Was I worrying too much? After all, she’s a Lv. 45 player’
Actually, Ian was not too worried about Harin. It was because her part was just too simple.
Apart from using the enhancing skills on Ian and Ly once in a while, she just needed to check her
Health and use everything on herself, shield, healing and all. Even a player who was using the Priest
for the first time could do it.
However, the Priest was quite famous for being one of the most difficult fighting classes.
In fact, the class didn’t require delicate control, however, you needed to carefully check the whole
battlefield. Therefore short-eyed people would not be able to use the class efficiently.
‘Harin is doing well.’
Ian finished the Goblin he had been fighting and glanced at Ly.
Of course, Ly was hunting like crazy.
Goblin Warriors were stronger than Goblin Scouts, in fact, they turned grey and disappeared after
getting bitten by Ly three or four times.
Ly had a weak Defense Force and Health. Therefore, its was going up and down like a roller
coaster. However, thanks to Harin who had a Defense Force Enhancing skill, Ly was fine.
– You killed a Goblin Warrior. You gained 910 EP.
…
– You killed a Goblin Warrior. You gained 925 EP.
The EP was divided among Ian, Harin and Ly. Still, they got a tremendous amount of EP.
– You have leveled-up. You have reached Lv. 27.

Ian gained another level just after three hours of fighting.
‘This feels good!’
Ian felt his stress for hunting going away immediately.
The Goblins’ Campsite quest consisted of three parts.
The first part was the fight between Goblins and vigilantes. This part alone took 5~7 hours.
If it took longer than that, then it meant the you failed the quest.
In spite of its great EP, the Goblins’ Campsite quest was not popular because of this very first part.
The time spent fighting was endless!
Most users avoided the quest, except for lunatics like Ian who loved labor and endless hunting.
The second part was slightly easier.
It was to find and kill all the Goblin Rangers who fired arrows at the leader of vigilantes while he
fought the Goblin Chief.
Additionally, the last part was to help him kill the Goblin Chief.
The difficulty level of the second and third part of the quest depended on how many Goblin Warriors
they killed during the first part.
Ian clenched his fists.
“I will reach Lv. 30 here.”
He was determined to improve fast.
In addition, judging from Ly’s actions, it looked like a realistic goal.
However, Ian wasn’t satisfied even with this excellent environment: he wanted the EPs of the Goblin
Warrior that were hunted by the vigilantes.
‘I wish Ly had some kind of wide-range attacking skill…’
Wide-range attacking skills had great advantages, when using them, he would be able to get a portion
of the EP given by the monsters he attacked, even those he attacked only once.
Then, Ian remembered a monster.
‘Ah, why couldn’t I think of this earlier?’
There was this place, which wasn’t a hunting ground, but Sorcerers had to go there before Lv. 40 to
learn Ice Magic.
The Lake of the Abyss.
It was a very large lake. When standing on one side of it, you wouldn’t be able to see the other side.

Additionally, in the middle of the Lake, there was an island made of ice. This island was famous
because there was a quest through which users could get the Scroll of Ice Magic.
Monsters in the island were Ice Golems who had similar levels to the Asiatic Black Bears. However,
there weren’t many of them as they were hard to hunt. So, no one used the island as a hunting
ground.
‘I will go to capture Ice Golem as soon as I am done with this quest.’
What Ian was thinking of was the Ice Golem’s unique skill.
‘Ice Wave’.
It was a relatively huge wide-range magic attack.
It was a shockwave skill. It didn’t inflict a huge amount of damage, however, it inflicted Ice type
damage in a wide range and sometimes it had a slowdown effect. Therefore, it was a very effective
skill.
Moreover, Ice Golem had great Health, so it would also be an excellent attacker as long as Ian was
careful against Fire Magic.
After deciding on what pet he was going to recruit next, Ian felt even more encouraged.
Thanks to Ian and Ly, the first part of the quest was done in only 4 hours.
…
Lukin was experiencing something that didn’t make sense.
‘What is he? A Summoner can’t have a level high enough to come here already…’
He forgot to fight and just stared at Ly.
He came to Somur Canyon today to do the quest so he could level-up. He had even paid two of his
guild’s members. However, a two-user party was hunting Goblin Warriors as fast as his own party,
even though he had two players in the early 50s in his team.
Lukin was enraged.
‘That wolf appears to be at least Lv. 60… what’s happening…’
He pondered on this for a while and came up with a conclusion.
‘He must have an artifact that can summon a certain pet!’
Lukin’s guess made sense!
In Kailan, there were some artifacts with Binding Magic that enabled the owner to control monsters.
Therefore, sometimes users had pets even before the Summoner class came out.
However, those artifacts were very rare, even ones with low-level monsters in it, so they were quite
expensive.
Most users had never seen them.
Lukin got greedy.
As the first part’s battle was about to end, Lukin called his two friends.
“Falcon, Milan, come here for a second?”
“Why, Lukin?”
Lukin whispered, “Have you seen the monster used by those users?”
“I have. You mean the red wolf?”
“Yes. What do you think?”
Milan looked puzzled at this and asked back.
“Think what? He must be a Summoner.”
Lukin shook his head and spoke again.
“No, have you seen it fight? Summoner hunting here must at least be above Lv. 40… but that wolf
alone looks above Lv. 60!”
Falcon and Milan said nothing and listened while Lukin continued to talk.
“The Summoner class had just been released. How can he be at Lv. 40 already? They may be able to
reach Lv. 20, at best.”
Falcon and Milan’s eyes widened at this. Unlike Lukin, they had been killing Goblins without thinking.
“Oh! That makes sense.”
“Yes, yes. I saw on the community that the highest-level Summoner who had posted an article in there
was Lv. 17 or 18!”
Lukin’s eyes sparkled.
“Then what is that red wolf?”
Falcon spoke cautiously, “Maybe… an artifact with monster summoning magic?”
Milan looked surprised while Lukin nodded.
“Yes, that’s what I was also thinking.”
Lukin then looked around.
The first part was about to end. Goblin Archers were running around to begin the second part.
“I’ve seen them fight. The girl doesn’t know how to do her Priest things. Moreover, apart from his wolf,
that guy with staff has no skills. He uses a staff, but he is still fighting in close combat. I don’t think he
has any dangerous skills.”
Falcon and Milan realized exactly what Lukin meant.

God Blade (Hiatus)
Theo, a prodigy of sword and an aspiring adventurer, lives in an RPG-like world where everyone has their own level and skill. However, his is a hardcore RPG world where more than half of its human never gets higher than level one. So who is Theo you ask? Was he a ninja trying to be a leader in his hidden village? Was he trying to be a pirate king? Maybe a teenager summoned from another world? A chosen one of the god? A man whose girlfriend is secretly the demon queen? A cook in a journey to make the greatest dish? Or maybe the reincarnation of an ancient Dark Lord? Well, No. Theo is a man born in that world. An NPC you might say. Not only that, he wasn't even the true hero or the main protagonist of his own world. But he does have to meet all those people during his journey to accomplish his dream. ----- 1 chapter every 2 or 3 days. I don't claim the MC of my story to be not cliched. With so many stories on the internet right now, It's almost impossible if not outright impossible to make an original MC. The best I can do is pick the kind of cliched MC I like the most and give it a twist of my own. English is not my first language, so there will be some mistakes in every chapter. Please notify me in the comment if you found one (Or some). I'm still an inexperienced writer, so feedbacks and reviews are very much appreciated.

Re: (Union//Incarnation)
Two years ago, a meteor fell and decimated the southeastern lands of Gaia, turning them into wastelands constantly shrouded in white fog. None of those who saw the blazing calamity with their own eyes lived to tell the tale, and those who attempted to venture in never came back. Since then, towers, caverns, and ruins have appeared and disappeared without a pattern. Those who were brave enough to venture in were rewarded with a partner capable of defying the natural laws as humanity knows it. People started to call them ‘Incarnation’, and before long, more and more Incarnation were gathered and sold as commodity, especially after a billionaire has sponsored a fighting tournament offering cash prizes to those possessing the strongest Incarnation, spurring the greedy and desperate to hunt for the fabled creatures at the cost of their lives. Claire Saphira wanted none of that. She simply wished for a life where she could live without worry of her own survival. As she ran from the debt collectors for the umpteenth time, she was swallowed by an errant tower, where she saw a frail, pale-skinned girl with ashen hair hung by chains. It was a chance, a chance to participate in the tournament and live without worrying about survival. Yet, something nagged in the back of her mind. Why did she look so familiar? Planned release schedule: One chapter every day for Mon-Fri, and a break on Sat-Sun. The release will slow down at some point, but most likely won't go under 3 chapters a week.
