《NPC Code: Red Riding Hood》Chapter 143 - End Of The Line
Advertisement
Captain Hook faced Wolf, while I faced the kid wearing a hat with a feather attached on top. It was the same battle sequence we had before. But the only difference we had was…. It was our last battle.
"Look, matey. Me don't want to fight or kill you," Captain Hook pleaded, while hesitantly pulling off his ceremonial sword from his scabbard.
"I wouldn't fight me either," Wolf gave a rejoinder, while summoning his claws. "But if you get in our way, I have no choice but to fight you."
After overhearing Wolf's and Hook's conversation, Peter Pan threw a ball-like pixie dust towards me. And that projectile would be enough to kill a low-levelled player. If that hit me, the pixie dust stone would have left a mark around my shoulders, burning it like a roasted boar.
"Look, I don't want to hit a kid," I bickered, while playfully revealed my penitent's dagger in my hands.
"But I am no kid. I am even older than you."
After our exchange, our battle finally began. Peter Pan dove at me with his fist raised forward. I rolled to the side and dodged his attack, only to witness Peter changing his course. I, who had a flexible reaction time, swiftly evaded the second strike. I finally seized my chance and struck him on the back, using the pommel of my sword.
I did not want to use my blade, fearing that I would kill him. Our team had an agreement that we would kill no one who stood in our way, including these pirates.
My attack launched Peter Pan on the ground, but that damage was not enough to render him unconscious. It would probably take him more than a strike before he could crawl to me.
"Why aren't ye hitting me with that blade of yers?" Peter Pan asked, with his eyes glued on my blade.
"I don't have to, since this is hardly even a fight," I confessed, and charged straight at the kid.
I fought hundreds of players, soldiers, and enhanced breasts with overwhelming powers and abilities. A low-levelled pirate who could fly was nothing but an insect for me. And even if Peter had something inside his sleeves, I would always out-power him using my system, which the NPCs never received.

The pirate's dialects only hit me right now. It was confusing to understand, if it were not for the lessons we had from Ryoshi. Those pirates always used "ye" and "yers" as their words, with all the goofy things they spoke. Fortunately, that did not matter for now, since we already had the upper hand.
(Author's notes: I have nothing against pirates. That's Red's thinking. If you're a pirate or aspiring to become one, that's fine! You're still exceptional, and I hope you have a good day!)
I finally disarmed Peter Pan's dagger from him and pinned the pirate kid on the ground. Despite his ferocious actions, Peter could not escape my wrath. He could spit if he wanted to, but he can never defeat me in a duel.
The same went with Captain Hook and Wolf. That player already finished his fight first before I defeated Peter Pan. He even stood on top of Hook's back as if he was a sofa meant for his bottom.
Upon noticing my fight, Wolf waved his hand and greeted me, "Took you long enough, Red."
"I don't have overpowered abilities like you. But I can kill you anytime I want, especially your friend."
That man only chuckled to himself without giving me a reply.
"Anyway, now that we defeated these two pirates and the rest of their mates, why don't we…. let them walk the plank!" Wolf exclaimed, with his eyes glued to the lone wooden board.
"Haven't you moved on about that part!" Ryoshi intervened.
"It was a joke, a joke! We can't kill them, so I wasn't saying it seriously," Wolf retorted, while scratching the back of his head. "We place them on a remote island filled with trees and herbs as their meal. Since they already confessed to us about their bad habits, we can't let them roam around freely in the wild, especially with those soldiers hunting the NPCs," Wolf explained, while tapping his foot on the wooden floor. "And I wouldn't let them join Kouran's organization, since they're freaking pirates! I would never trust a pirate, except squeezing them for the treasure's location."
"And me told you the location! Ye should free us from this rope! We want parley!" Captain Hook pleaded.

"What do you mean ye told them the Black Pearl! Me thought we have the rule 'dead men tell no tales'. And yet ye told them the treasure! What kind of pirate are ye!"
All the pirates who heard the conversation glared at Captain Hook. That motto that they had between pirates must be their lifeline as a group. But Captain Hook, the leader of their pack, threw it all away.
"What do you mean you told us? I already knew it from the very beginning!" Wolf reacted, creating chaos between the pirate's factions.
"What do you mean, matey? Me was the one who told you the Black Pearl! All of ye knew it because of me!" Captain Hook retorted, making himself the target of the pirates.
"Nope. I only tested you, since you guys are pirates. I've heard about you before. But do you have any idea who you're dealing with, pirates?"
As soon as Wolof asked that question, all the pirates raised question marks above their heads. They kept guessing Wolf's identity, since he claimed these pirates already knew him before.
If I had to guess it right, Wolf kicked these pirate's assess while he was still Fenrir. Now that Okami used his smurf account, these pirates did not have a clue who he was right now.
"You fool! It was me who took the Black Pearl from you! Have you remembered, Captain Hook?!" Wolf shouted, while laughing to himself.
His chuckle had a similar tone when Wolf was still using his main account. I could still remember the time he laughed like that while saving our village.
It was a villainous laugh, not from any hero I have remembered.
"Yer…. Fenrir? Shiver me timbers, Peter Pan! We shall not fight this man, despite our circumstances!" Captain Hook suggested.
"What's the matter, Captain Hook? Yer afraid of a skinny man who becomes a dog?" Peter Pan replied.
"Yer idiot! Fenrir is the strongest man in this world! He crushed my mates into pieces! Me can still remember that day when he killed most of the pirates competing for the Black Pearl! It was the reason me haven't gotten it! It was all because of him!"
"The Black Pearl will forever be the greatest treasure for a pirate! And yes, I stole it from you guys! And I have that Black Pearl inside my account! But you made a mistake! There is still another Black Pearl lurking around the ocean. I saw it with my own eyes! It was even more massive than the ones you expected it to look like!" Wolf claimed, while grinning to himself. "I can help you achieve that goal if you could help us first!"
As soon as Wolf ended his speech, every pirate had their mouths gaped wide open, thirsting for that prize. After a few seconds, they all went feral, stomping their feet on the ground. These pirates eventually escaped their ropes and returned to their former selves as if nothing had happened.
"Captain Hook, did ye hear that?! We can get the bigger Black Pearl from Fenrir!" Peter Pan recited, as he slammed his hand on Captain Hook's shoulder. "This calls for a celebration! Mateys, release the barrel filled with ale!"
"Ye bet me did!" Captain Hook replied. "But we need to listen to what Fenrir has got to say."
As soon as Captain Hook spoiled the fun, every pirate offered their ears for me. They all narrowed their eyes and continued watching my every movement.
Within a few seconds, I cleared my throat and announced, "All of you must join our cause! I know that treasure is something important to you. Which is why I will give you the first Black Pearl to you, guys! It's"
"Where is it?" Captain Hook and Peter Pan asked simultaneously.
"It's at the bottom of the ocean... I mean, where we're at, obviously," I answered.
"Nonsense! Ye can't fool us with your petty gimmicks!" Peter Pan retorted, while raising his fist in the air.
"Oh, really?" I asked. "Then why don't you look below you?"
As soon as I said that, those pirates went to the ship's edge and peaked at the ocean. Within a few moments, they already found a black gem dazzling around the ocean's depths. These pirates immediately realised that the gem they looked at was the Black Pearl.
"Shiver me timbers, Captain Hook! We found the damn treasure!" All the pirates shouted, as they danced around the deck, humming their favourite tunes.

The Grey Realm, an Erebus Story.
Written by: Staugroan and The Inklets. Edited by: Claudia Adams. In the beginning there was a god, who watched over and made one world his own. Soon after the god grew restless, but happened to stumble on a small world filled with life. This world was named Erebus by its peoples; humanity. The god was so fascinated with this new world that he started to copy it back home, creating oceans, forests, deserts, and so forth. Then the god created life and eventually his favored creations who would be immortals and be the better of mankind in every way-the elves. So often the god had traveled to Erebus that the two worlds became linked by magic and their inhabitants could cross at will. Relations between the races flourished, and a great empire was born in the Grey Realm, home of the elves. But the god once again grew restless, and set loose great beasts that stood at the top of any food chain, the apex. At first the elves met the challenge and fought them head on. But mankind was not so lucky, they died in droves to push back even a single apex. Something had to be done. Elves and man worked together to begin sealing off the worlds to protect mankind, to limit the ways in and out to better fight the apex off and keep their fellows safe. The ritual had adverse effects the likes of which neither the elves nor man could predict; the sealing of the worlds started slow, but the magic had never been done before, and in their ignorance it spread to completely cut the two worlds off from one another. It ejected the apex, and other magical being back into the Grey Realm, saving Erebus. At first the elves were content, they would find a way back once the apex were dead and gone. But the seal had done more than keep Erebus locked away. The powersource of the seal was magic itself, from both worlds, and it consumed it all greedily. The elves, weakened without their magic, crumbled into ruin, and the apex were free to hunt the other races of the Grey Realm. Two-thousand years later a strange phenomena is occurring and magic is slowly returning to the Grey Realm, and tears open that allow passage to Erebus. Thu'lain and a few elves must make the journey to fallen kingdom of the elves Anosora, in the hopes of reclaiming what was once theirs. They must face their nemesis the apex, and survive not only the species that have turned against them, but a terrible being left behind by the god to kill even the apex. Uch'l'thein, the faceless terror.

Divine Intervention Online
Vin is an ex-slave who wields sacred knowledge to demand freedom for his people. Seth is a reluctant player stuck in a game that is set to last 200 more years. When their paths converge, even the false gods will take notice. * * * Hello and thank you for giving Divine Intervention Online a chance. This is not my first book (that honor belongs to The Flock by Chris Sauter- available on Amazon). This is hopefully going to become my second book, the first of a planned LITRPG trilogy. This is a labor of love, dedicated to my absolute obsession with the LITRPG genre that has held me in its grasp for over 3 years. There will be dark situations that perhaps only adults should read including: slavery, violence and the results of war. There will be no harems, little profanity, but possibly some triggers for people who don’t like torture, violence, and other dark stuff.

The Zodians - Book 1: The Outlander
"The past is written by the future. The king shall fall off his throne by thirteen men who have not been born." He is the mad king who tears a whole continent into two pieces without mercy. He wielded the dark magic from an arcane source, from just no one to The Supreme Emperor. His reign lasts for nearly two hundred years, and no one knows exactly how many dead bodies are lying under his throne. But this is not the story of him. His reign is over, and now comes an epic of The Thirteen Knights, who sent the death sentence to the Emperor. Who are they? And above all, what they have lost to become such a symbol? Blood. Love. Duty. Comes power, comes responsibility, a wise man used to say. Victory does not create a man, tragedy does. Each chapter is around 700 - 2000 words to make the reading more efficient. The main timeline takes place in 2000 years later from the battle in beginning chapters, when magic is no longer available.
