《The Heavens System Subsidiary (I Was Chosen By The Word)》Chapter 4 - First Fight And Unexpected Adversaries
Advertisement
''No, no, no, no, no.''
I dashed through the forest pursuing the scent that I picked up from my quarters.
My mother in this world was like my mother in my first life, kind and ever bright.
I initially didn't want to be connected to her after regaining my memories, I had not moved on from my first mum.
But I could not erase 17 years of love, at the same time I couldn't forget my first mum so I just let it go.
I had all of this life's memories from the day I was born plus the emotions.
All the original feelings didn't disappear in the slightest.
''Dammit, forget that I need to go faster'' I thought in anger
''[Ether Burst]''
BOOM!
A burst of ether pushed me forward.
[Ether Burst: User can channel ether internally and propel it outwards from any part of the body.
Propelling ether from my legs grants the User extra speed according to how much ether is put into the skill.
Note the higher the ether puts the lesser the control of the speed.
Ether propelled from hands and legs can also be used to increase Attack Power and Speed.
At higher comprehension, the user gains the ability to infuse elements into the ether to create different effects.
Variations Unlocked
Lightning Mana Burst
Fire Mana Burst
Lightning Fire Mana Burst
Final Burst
Usage: 20EP/Burst, 100EP/Powered Burst, All/Final Burst.]
'Need to go faster!.
''[Lighting Burst]''
*Boom!* *Cackle*
"Tch!"
"[Consecutive Lightning Bursts]"
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
[-80 MP]
With the extra boost, I hurried through the forest carefully avoiding hitting the trees in my path.
This journey would have been even worse if there were a lot of [Dark Beasts] lurking around.
But Heaven's luck shined today, only a few Beasts can be found.
As I continued zooming across the paths I noticed an irregularity in the area.
Advertisement
Because of my heritage and innate ability, I am very sensitive to Illusions.
I can easily discern when an illusion is used or when something is out of place.
But now I didn't have time to check what the irregularity is all about, I had to find Mom but as I was about to move on
Someone called out to me.
"Vincent"
"Huh"
I was shocked when I heard someone call my name, I went on alert keen to use a burst to scatter the area.
But a small shimmer came off from the bark of a tree.
I saw my mother leaning against a tree with cuts on her body and blood dripping from her forehead.
"Mom!" I yelled as I ran to her
I quickly arrived at her side as I saw that she was wobbling.
I then cast one of my most useful skills.
[Cellular Enhancement]
[Cellular Enhancement: Channels Ether into the cells of the body, Empowering the cells making them able to duplicate faster, and also serves as a Form of Enhancement.
It grants an effect similar to Regeneration.
Note: Skill causes great hunger and tiredness.
Usage: 5MP/Seconds]
'Got to thank me for being a genius in this life.'
Ether was passed from me to my Mother to speed up the rate of her cells.
After a while, her condition stabilized.
I bent down and held her in a princess carry, I then sprinted out of the forest to avoid the kidnappers.
'For the kidnappers to have successfully caught my mom, They'll have to be quite strong, mother is on Sky-Borne Level.'
In this world, a person's power can be classified into levels.
The Earth-Tiered Level/The Low Level
The Sky-Borne Level/The Middle Level
The Sky-Layer Level/ The High Level
The Star-Path Level/ Ascended Level
My mother told me that there were some more levels, But I don't need to know about it now

[Cellular Enhancement]
[Lightning Burst]
*Cackle*
*Boom*
*Whoosh*
With the combination of both skills, My speed increased by 200%. The drawback is a lot but it's nothing I can't handle.
With my new speed, I raced to the end of the Forest.
But as I got closer something suddenly jumped in front of me and let out a roar
*RAAAAAARRRG*
"Dammit, Just my Luck"
I encountered a Dark Beast
''Shit!'' I cursed
'Judging from the Aura of this Beast, It's at least a Class-B beast borderline Class-A.'
Dark Beasts can be classified into 6 Ranks or Danger Levels
The Class-D Danger Level
The Class-C Danger Level
The Class-B Danger Level
The Class-A Danger Level
The Class-S Danger Level
And The Class-EX Danger Level.
A person can judge the Danger level of a Dark Beast by its Aura as the difference between the auras of a Class-D Danger Beast and a Class-C Danger Beast as it's stronger.
If a person cannot discern.
A scan function from the status system can be used to discern its traits, it only works for Dark Beasts
[Scan Complete
Name: ???
Innate Ability: Sharp Claws.
Danger Level: Low-A Rank Danger Level]
Observation: Dark Beast stands on its two feet and is shrouded in darkness, Beast has an enhanced sight and smell than other Danger Beasts and it also has long sharp claws.
Overall the Dark Beast shares similarities to that of a wolf ]
'Dammit, it's a Low- A-Rank Danger Level, Normally I should be able to deal with it albeit with mid-Injuries but I'm currently carrying mom'
'I can't win like this!'
'I have three choices, Run past this beast and get chased by both the beast and the kidnappers'
'Or quickly take care of it using Full Burst but it will alert the Attention of the Kidnappers.'
'Or the best choice, Create an explosion and alert the Kidnappers to my area then I'll lead the beast to the Kidnappers.'
''Only the third choice seems logical so, the third choice it is''
''ROAAAR''
The Beast ran towards me with intent to cut me in half but I easily dodged using a [Ether Burst] and jumped backward.
The beast seeing me run away got enraged and chased after me.
This led to the mouse and rat chase between me and the [Dark Beast].
"Tch, This beast is quite fast, Let's see where the Kidnappers are"
[Ether Enhancement]
I focused ether on my eyes and my range of vision increased to about 200 meters, I found four high-speed objects moving towards me.
'They will perhaps reach me in about three minutes, that gives me enough time'
[Lightning Fire Mix Burst!]
A huge explosion reverberated through the forest.
[Ether Enhancement]
I used the boost from the skill to dash swiftly behind the beast and at the same time attract the Kidnappers.
Then I used [Ether Enhancement] and punched it with its guard down.
The [Dark Beast] was shoved ahead by my punch towards the Kidnappers.
I scouted forward again to see that they were engaging the beast.
I used this chance to escape but someone appeared before me and slapped something on my wrist.
Suddenly I fell to the ground and couldn't draw upon my Ether anymore.
I bucked up to see that it was the 3rd Noble of the Fenrir Family
"Haha!, Now I have the chance to teach you little shit some manners'' He said with a smile full of disdain

The Werewolf Cheerleader
Being a cheerleader is easier than being a werewolf. Jessica Tumbleleague is a typical teenage girl who loves being a cheerleader at Moondale High. But after an encounter with a werewolf in the woods, Jessica discovers a frightening world she never thought is real. Dangerous magic, deadly fierce spirits, and other malevolent creatures. Now Jessica must fight the forces of darkness to protect her hometown while balancing her supernatural life with her high school life. But can she control the beast within herself? Note: This is a rewrite of the original with the same name. I decided to change the third-person style to first-person because I liked Jessica's voice better. She is funny and very strong. With the story only focusing on her, I can keep the mystery suspenseful and the reader can experience what Jessica is experiencing. It is a typical YA style, but it is fun to write as your main character. There are changes, but the first and second books will be similar to the third-person chapters. Let me know what you think and I hope you will enjoy this new version of the Werewolf Cheerleader. I will post the chapters every Friday in the afternoon. P.S, there is a Werewolf Cheerleader short story published in the Tales of Dungeons, All Hallows book. Titled The Werewolf Cheerleader: Castle and Ghouls. The short is also in first-person, which made me decide to change the book series into first-person. The link is below if you want to check it out. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B08MCS82R5

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
