《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 83: The Angel of Death: Trial (3)

"How long can we last against these monsters?" Elena White, leader of the White Family spoke first.
The heads of the twelve elite families were discussing the matter of the S ranked dungeon break that happened a couple of days before. It was a matter of national emergency and thus even the President of United States of America was in attendance, not that he was given much importance as the family heads already had their hands full with current crisis.
Every warrior who was active in the States had been summoned to take a part in the all out war that was happening right now, not that all of them were useful as their ranks were low and it was not a low ranked dungeon break, but an S ranked one but still they could provide help in one way or the other.
"We should ask for help from the 'Mage of conscience' and the 'Eternal Warrior'. Together with Johnny Black, they would be able to utilise their strengths in a better way...' Madam Roosevelt, leader is the Roosevelt Family suggested to call, Brazil's Nicolas Fernandez, the 'Mage of conscience' and China's Yu Zhung, the 'Eternal Warrior', to help them in the moment of crisis.
"Our forces are sufficiently strong to fend off the monsters! We don't need to depend on the Chinese for help, not like those bastards would help us for free either way." Andrex Lash, another family leader spoke up.
He had a special grudge against the Chinese as his wife, who was Chinese, had cheated on him with another man. It was a petty reason to hate the entire nation because of his wife's infidelity but as the saying goes, 'It was, what it was.'
"Just because your partner cheated on you didn't mean that the entire nation is damned. But you're right they wouldn't do it for free but we're no different than them in that case don't you think?" Alicia Marcelo, the leader of Marcelo family asked the others. Nathaniel was about reply when the President of the USA spoke up for the first time since the meeting began.
"I think asking Chinese for help is a sensitive subject so I will not give a permission to do so." The ginger headed person smacked his lips and raised a finger, "America is, has, and always will be a global leader. Even in this moment of crisis! God bless America!"

All the others present in the meeting room mentally smacked their heads after hearing the words which came out of Dobald Tramp's mouth. (Author's note : I guess we all know who this is).
Nathaniel ignored the president's comments and turned his face towards Alicia before continuing, "We already contacted both China and Brazil. Apparently there was a dungeon break in China as well thus Yu Zhang is busy dealing with it at the moment while Brazil is going through a 'civil war' themselves, so it's a waste of time to think that they will be of any help but-"
"The thing that worries me is the fact that we know very little about the 'boss' of the dungeon. The warriors who went inside the dungeon were killed in an instan-" Andrex got interrupted by Alicia.
"Not only that, this outbreak is particularly weird. Generally it's the dungeon 'boss' who leads the outbreak but so far no one even knows who or what the boss even is." Alicia said.
"So it's a lost cause?" Elena asked, but no one had an answer to her question.
"Not at all. As I wanted to say before Sir Andrex interrupted me, we still have a ray of hope. We have her, after all Johnny is no longer America's only defender." Nathaniel's confident reply gave some relief to the others. But still all they could do was to sit in their bunker and hope that the warriors would be able to handle the situation.
***
Johnny, Kolt, Aydan and the rest of the members of twelve families were busy fending the monsters off. They were killing beasts left and right but their overall numbers were so large that even after going all out against the monsters. Moreover their numbers only dwindled for moment before more monsters got poured out of the dungeon and status quo was restored.
Johnny had once seen such a scenario before, when Arnold lost his cool and summoned a portal while he was fighting with the 'inhuman' known as Bob, and he knew it that no matter what they do, their situation wasn't going to improve just like it didn't improve for Bob.

'I bet he'd do something reckless is he was here.' Johnny remembered Arnold and smiled.
"Quit spacing out big guy!" Kolt yelled as he smashed the giant scorpion that was about to use it's stinger on Johnny's back.
"Thanks. I owe you one." Johnny mindlessly thanked him.
"Yeah you will. Now FOCUS YOU MOTHERFU*KER!" Kolt bellowed once again, but didn't push it as he understood what Johnny was going through.
After all, all of them had been fighting on the front lines ever since this outbreak happened. It was obvious that they were exhausted and unlike the monsters, they didn't have an endless supply of warriors that could help them fend off the attack. The only way they could put an end to this was to defeat and kill the boss but unfortunately no one was able to reach near the dungeon portal.
The monsters were concentrated near the portal and it wasn't easy to get rid of that many monsters, even Johnny had failed when he tried to push through the monsters.
"Damn they just keep coming!" Aydan panicked after he saw goblins, ogres, and orcs that were making their way towards them through the army of monsters.
"Just how many asshol*s are inside that thing!" Someone from Roosevelt family gritted her teeth.
Just as it looked like all was lost, Johnny got a message from the intelligence unit through his earpiece, "She's awake now. Fall back before she arrives there."
"Copy that. We're moving out now. Tell her no matter what happens, she doesn't need to hold back." Johnny replied and ordered his team to fall back.
"Is she the one everyone's been talking about lately?" The same girl from Roosevelt family asked, "The fourth SS ranked warrior in the history?"
"Actually she might be stronger than the rest of us SS ranked warriors. Last time when I sparred with her, I ended up in hospital, even though it was a hand to hand combat session and I'm a brawler." Johnny smiled as he boasted about his defeat.
"You're really weird you know that right? I mean most of the people would feel uncomfortable after being beaten by a girl, but here you are all smiles about someone who could potentially take your spot as 'America's defender'." the girl replied, "by the way-"
The girl wanted to say something else but the loud noise coming from a helicopter interrupted her thoughts, as she saw a teenager, dressed in a black combat suit stepped out of it and fearlessly started walking towards the horde of monsters.
"You're not going to say that 'she's' the fourth warrior now, are you? She's just a teenager for GOD'S SAKE!" The girl exclaimed, and she wasn't the only one to feel that way.
Everyone one except those from the Black Family were both surprised and confused by this teenager's appearance on the battlefield. Even the monsters were confused by the daring of this young girl. The ogre who looked like he was the in-charge of the battle force of monsters, sniggered and said something to the goblins in monster tongue after which five goblins rushed towards the girl with daggers and clubs in their hands, ready to maw down the teenager, but even before they could touch her... they got disintegrated into dust. Nothing was left behind... now even their bones.
The monsters were shocked by what they saw and instinctively backed down. Even Johnny was surprised at the behavior of the monsters. Soon a few more monsters came out of the dungeon. Even so, after appearance of the teenager on the battlefield, things such as status quo were no longer valid and wouldn't get restored even if a hundred monsters came out of the dungeon, because the moment their gaze met the teenager's, they got turned into dust.
This was the power of the world's fourth SS ranked, who was nicknamed as 'The angel of death' by the Black Family, and was none other than Nicole Ling.

**IMPORTANT: Because I am trying to reconcile some of the consistancy issues due to unexpected changes in how I've decided to write the story, this story is to be renamed/reordered. I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) is now to be concidered as Book One of Tatterskin. Tatterskin will contiune without real inturruption, though "Book Two" is really going to be the rest of the series with multiple volumes. Sorry guys!

But while she wanted to escape her mundane reality, she quickly discovers that her life there – with the exception of all the crazy aliens and the unusual setting – was no different than her life on Earth had been. After spending a couple of months getting used to the place, she finally got the chance to play the popular new VRMMORPG, TheirWorld. As she is drawn deeper and deeper into the game, however, she begins to realize that her in-game life is far more connected to the happenings of reality than she could have imagined. Finding herself in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens her life and the lives of the people around her, Dassah must decide whether she allows herself to be a puppet, or she finds the determination to become the master of her own fate.

The White Rabbit
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is highly advised.

Medieval Terror
[Trickle! Trickle!] Blood… Pure unfiltered blood. Thick wetness of inhumane variety was drowning the contours of my defiled countenance with crimson slick. My warrior’s mien was brutally decorated with the vile viscera and entrails of the dead. Scattered all around me was a large pile of corpses floating in the bloodthirsty puddle of the afterlife. Accompanying my rest within this detestable domain was a rapacious array of lord Beelzebub’s kin. A swarm of black motile embodiment capable of aerial drifts made my bloody appearance barely visible. [Buzz! Buzz!] I was dead yet living, I could travel between the broken realms of existence and meddle with the vengeful souls. Such was possible by virtue of my life that had succumbed to the Lure of Enigma. The bizarre events that unfolded which brought me to this destitute phase of utter dysphoria was a mixture of tales that will leave a distasteful flavour of doleful buds on your tongue. If you wish to know more about my apocalyptic journey then feel free to turn the pages of my undying path. However, I must warn you, inquisitive readers. My legendary tale might cause your weak constitution to become cripple, hence read at your own peril.

Meaning: The End of the Starless Century
Magic was once a reality of everyday life, shaping the lives of the gifted and ungifted alike since the dawn of humanity. That all changed in the fires of World War I. Seeking to avoid catastrophe, humanity’s leaders enacted the Masquerade Order and segregated the magical community while also forming The Congregation to enforce the separation. As time passed, the awesome power of magic was forgotten by the world outside. This held true for a little over a century, but things begin to change when three individuals intersect in the peaceful town of Ithaca, New York. Noelle Sellers, a newly minted policewoman searching for her place in the world. Levi Wright, a mage living in Ithaca who is far more than he lets on. Lorelei Himmel, a juvenile witch in hiding out of fear of what people would do to her, and what she may do to them. As forces slithering in the darkness emerge from the murky depths of the world, the timeless battle for magic and for the future itself begins once again.
