《Sadistic Player In A Fantasy Game World》Ruin of the legion (2)
Advertisement
"What the hell happened here?" questioned sister Eleanor as the group stepped through the portal into a seemingly different world.
The once morning blue sky was replaced by a dusty brown horizon, whose only redeeming quality was the way the setting sun reflected off the dust particles making it seem as if they were sparkling.
Remnants of a long and brutal war littered this new scene, the bodies of soldiers dressed in what seemed to be ancient roman attire lay haphazardly on the dusty battlefield.
Broken down chariots, shields, swords, and armors were buried underneath the sand, only visible due to the skeletons that seemed to be holding on to their former possessions as if their souls depended on it.
"It was probably some kind of war," replied Agent Ria as she stared into the distance.
A few hundred meters away stood a greek style temple with a burning pyre in the center, what was odd about it was the fact that instead of a reddish-orange glow, the fire was green.
"I know it was a war, what I mean is why isn't anyon-" before sister Eleanor could finish her sentence, the ground began rumbling.
"Attack force get ready!" ordered Duarte, and all his men stood at attention, drawing out their weapons and preparing for the imminent threat3.
As if on mark, all the other groups and their leaders did the same as well, waiting to see what horrors they would have to face.
After a few moments went by and nothing happened, the gentleman wearing a black suit with slicked back blonde hair lowered his guard. "It was probably just an-"
[The Legion awakens and seeks to add more to their ranks. Burn the remains of their general or join them in the eternal army.]
As the autonomous voice announced this, the skeletal remains of the dead soldiers rose from the ground, wielding their broken weaponry. Their eye sockets were filled with a blue aquamarine glow, devoid of all intelligence.

Although their movements were clumsy, they made up for it with their vast numbers. At least two thousand fully armed undead soldiers stood in front of the group of eighty. Behind the army standing right in front of the pyre was a skeletal figure on a rusted golden chariot, wearing a general's regalia.
The general's eyes turned from blue to green, and as if it were a war cry, so did all the skeletal soldiers'. The army of two thousand charged at the group, like a swarm ready to devour its prey.
"Looks like guns are out of the question," said Judith as she rushed off to face the incoming threat at an astounding speed.
"W-wait you can't just -" Agent Ria was about to say before sister Eleanor interrupted.
"I never quite liked the dead," as she said this her eyes began glowing yellow and a light flashed from the sky. A white figure floated down to the dusty battlefield and tore a hole in the skeletal army's offensive.
"Is that, a mecha?" asked Duarte as he watched Judith and a four-meter tall mechanical figure wreak havoc on the battlefield.
Judith lay waste to the skeletons that surrounded her, her super speed allowing her to prevent herself from getting caught up by the large army that was quickly advancing. However, as impressive as she was, the mecha adorned with holy symbols and made of a white glowing metal seemed to be destroying three times as many skeletons as she did with every swing of its two-meter long great sword.
"That's my Michael, though I have to say, if all of you just watch while the church takes the top contributor spot in this ruin, then it won't be worth the paperwork I'll have to fill in later." said sister Eleanor with a smirk on her face as the group watched the Holy Mecha draw most of the army's attention.

"Don't get ahead of yourself little girl, the fight has only just begun," said the man with slicked-back blonde hair as he loosened his tie and his eyes began glowing a fiery red.
"Arise Sarafina," shouted the man, and a fire spirit erupted from the ground, sending a few of the skeletons who had made it close to the group flying away.
The fire spirit stood at four meters tall as well and held two 1.5 meter long swords. It dashed through the battlefield at a terrifying speed, almost as fast as Judith was, and just like the Mecha Michael, it destroyed large numbers of skeletons at once,
"Kukk," snorted Judith as she saw the two summons wreak havoc. She quickly pulled out the item shop and spent all 4000 of the Arcanian points she had received from clearing two tower floors on two strength and two agility elixirs, drinking them immediately.
Right after she finished, her speed increased ever so slightly, however that made a big difference. Before where she could only cover 100 meters in five seconds, she could now do it half a second faster, where she could only overpower two skeletons, she could now fight three.
"Let's see you keep up now," said Judith with a smile on her face as she mowed down the skeletons.
'Two summoners huh?' thought Agent Ria, as a dozen skeletons finally arrived in front of the group. The officials within her group began engaging in combat, with most of them having some sort of armament ability that strengthened their normal physical capabilities, allowing them to give out a receive a larger beating.
"It seems all the leaders are showing off their powers, I might as well join in," said Agent Ria as she shot light bolts from her fingertips. The blasts were so powerful that they turned the brittle bones of the skeletons to dust, and left scorch marks where they once stood.
Agent Ria eliminated ten skeletons in the time it took Sarafina and Michael to take care of five.
'It seems we got lucky, this group is well equipped to fight against an army,' thought Duarte as he and his comrades engaged in battle as well.
'The hierarchy has been drawn out. Right now I'm at the top, followed by that disgusting sister and the blondey, Judith comes in fourth and this Daybreak leader guy comes in last,' thought Ria as she continued thinning down the enemy's numbers.

Reborn Into My Novel

Bewildered as she was, the first person that she met was the protagonist of her novel. To add salt to the wound, it was right before the tragedy that decimated his village as per his backstory. Will Ellie save the village (and herself) to risk changing the fundamentals of her novel? Will she instead let the story run its course and leave everyone in the village to their deaths? Disclaimer: This novel is a work in progress and will be updated hopefully at least once a week. Expect minor mistakes (maybe some typos and punctuation errors) since this is the very first draft. The author suffers from perfectionism and impostor syndrome and therefore attempts to use this as sort of a therapy to break away from perfectionism and self doubt. Basically, the author employs a “I don’t care anymore and screw this trash work” mindset just to get stuff rolling and not set any expectations. Basically, basically, the author just wants to write something and not care about planning and quality and all those nice things about writing a GOOD novel since it’s counterproductive. Kthxbye. ps: Thanks for even reading this trash work pps: You’re not trash for reading this trash work btw ppps: Thanks I love y’all so much Shout out!
