CHAPTER THIRTY
Was the world always so full of things that want us dead?
~
Achievement: Rushing to Adventure
Just a boy of ten, and you’re already on your way
You could still be faster, but I’ll send some strength your way
There are still a lot of monsters much stronger than you
The challenges that lay upon the road ahead aren’t few
Leaf had never left the village without his mother
Avoiding straying for at the advice of his brother
Now, despite being the youngest brother of the five
He would be the first to out and try to survive
He couldn’t ask them for their help since Twig was not their friend
Even if they may have agreed to help in the end
Just like his mother, who had raised them by herself for years
He would take care of his own, through any pain and tears
“Do you think he made it far, after all, he’s quite slow
I wonder how far the System told that guy to go”
Sky thought for a moment as she quickly led the way
“I’m more concerned with where he spent his first night yesterday”
Achievement: Uncertain Quest
Your tenacity is really something to behold
System gossip even makes the gods up here feel cold
I won’t help you disobey direct orders from it
But chasing answers takes more gumption than they would admit
She noticed her attack stat go up and gave a wry smile
“I hope my weird new god can calm himself after a while
I know I went a little crazy when Twig was injured
But a slightly nicer class change would have been preferred…”
From what she’d heard about the system since the other day
It seemed unusual for it to chase someone away
Legends told of villains and empires who disappeared

But the System had never been something which children feared
“I think it’s a big misunderstanding or a trick
Twig’s god always made even his brightest days tragic
Maybe he was shown a status screen that wasn’t real
Or imagined it after that whole portal ordeal”
“It really was weird how the adults all just went crazy
The details of that System talk were all really hazy
My mother said to listen if a System message came
But didn’t seem to worried much about it all the same”
As they spoke they tried to think of where Twig might have gone
Sometimes straying from the mountain path they walked upon
They started to enjoy the feeling of the adventure
Thinking of what they might run into in the future
Leaf was confident that if he faced bugs like back then
He would be much faster and would not be stung again
Sky was confident as well, but worried for her class
And soon enough their first portal encounter came to pass
It opened up right near the trail, not too big or too small
It was just about as wide as the young Leaf was tall
They waited to see what came out as they were trained to do
Hoping it was not more bugs, or at least just a few
“Don’t go running into things this time, please use your head
Todd isn’t here now, so safety falls on us instead”
“You’re sure one to talk, try not to lose your cool again
I was scared you’d kill us along with those bugs back then!”
Out of the portal soon came but a single monster
Not a weak looking one, but not strong looking either
It was like a rabbit that had grown up big and mean
The boar-sized rabbit didn’t have the strongest stats they’d seen
~ Name: Unnamed ~

Class: Fang Rabbit [cursed] [lv2]

From a distance it may look like a rabbit, but big
But this creature does a lot more than just jump and dig
It could rip a part a careless traveller or two
And there is a high chance it can run faster than you

Blair Nys: Blood and Benevolence
Blair is a young man and even of royal heritage. As such his life has followed a strict plan since birth. Only for it to suddenly, in the time span of a finger snipping, change. Connections to another world opened up. Humans with powers made of the wildest imaginations, stepped out of them, calling themselves cultivators. Naturally, earth’s population went into an uproar. One piece of information created an especially great stir. The cultivators were there to pick disciples. Millions rushed to them, and Blair wanted to be one of them. There was just one problem. His lord father was strictly against interaction with those magical beings. He always dreaded a foreign power gaining influence in his court. Well, the old man never changes, and now it was the same as ever. His sister wasn´t even allowed to study abroad. However, all his senses told Blair that the future lay in the cultivator's hands. His plan was to gain knowledge, power, and maybe influence. Then he would return. One night he simply vanished in the darkness, away from his father’s claws. Will he succeed? That is hard to tell. The immortal world is an unforgiving place, even worse than earth. It’s just that Blair doesn’t know that yet. Can he survive there, and gain a footing in the new era of qi and godly hermits? Only time will tell, and Blair has to fight for every minute. Authors note: Give the story a try. It’s my personal blend of qi, cultivation, and struggles of morality and power. If I can deliver on all that is another question, but I will give it my best. As a further note, I am not using any of the usual strict realms and extreme power differences. It’s more about gathering and refining qi. Whoever uses his chances, sneak attacks, intuitions, and skills in a better way wins. However, having more or better qi will help, but I am not at a point where I have written a lot of that, so I might promise too much. Thanks for reading so far and checking my synopsis out, now you might give the story a try. Have fun. The picture is from JCK5D (Pixabay)
