Bored Gamer In Other Worlds Chapter 52

"No system can ever best you, Nancy!"
"You were made perfect to begin with!"
"Together, you and I, shall set forth and make our legends be hea..." Clark was unstoppable in his gusto!
A minute and some spare breaths passed, the gamer's mirth finally subsided.
"Next, let me check on my Death Magic Talent Tree." Clark decided. He then opened the interface to his skills once more. He reread the first skill he'd known of this mastery.
Bone Plate – creates a full body armor upon activation which affords meager defense to its caster.
"How much points in power can this skill add to my own, Nancy?"
"Bone Plate gives 20 percent bonus to your power stat, host."
"I see. So that would make my power rise to more or less, 121 points also. Barely passable." Clark murmured.
He did not dwell upon it for long though because his attention continued to scour on the next level skills that were now unlocked for his taking.
* * *
Life Siphon – steals the life of another creature to heal any wound or minor afflictions on the user's body. (negative buffs can be transferred, can be upgraded)
Life After Death – grants 5 second invulnerability when the user takes a fatal attack. (passive, gives 1 hp after the skill ends, can be upgraded)
* * *
"Another safety insurance is never a bad thing to have. And it's my first passive skill also. Very very useful." Clark said and waited no further.
"Unlock Bone Plate, Life Siphon and Life After Death Skills, Nancy."
"Affirmative, host."
"You now have only 3 skill points left, host. Please choose wisely on how to spend them next." Nancy advised like the caring system spirit she embodied.

"Thank you, Nancy."
"Now onto the last, The Cursed Words Talent Tree." Clark muttered and began his inspection once more. There were three skills available on the talent tree.
Curse: Itch – make the target experience an unbearable itch.
Since he had already seen this one before, Clark moved on swiftly to the other two.
* * *
Curse: Enfeeble – weaken a target's overall power. (starts at 10% strength corruption, can be upgraded)
Curse: Isolation – encase a target in a shroud of unbreakable illusion. (limits the five basic senses, can be upgraded)
* * *
"It would have been better if I could skip upgrading Curse: Itch entirely but it seems like I really have to spend at least 1 point to it before I can unlock the rest of the better ones above."
Clark said while trying to click at the curses Enfeeble and Isolation. Unfortunately, his efforts were proven in vain time and time again.
'Guess there's no helping it. I just have to accept it as fact.' Clark took a deep breath and clicked three times at the transparent screen directly in front of him.
+1 for Curse: Itch
+1 for Curse: Enfeeble
+1 for Curse: Isolation
"You have no more skill points left, host." Nancy stated the obvious.
"SIGH!"
"Time to go take a bath and freshen up."
"I still have an engagement party to finish."

Gina the goblin, Dungeon Extraordinaire
Goburi was a goblin, a very poor goblin and now that she was dying that meant one thing, she could not even pay the toll to cross into the afterlife. Goblins worshipped gold, gold watched over them and Goburi had never earned or lost a mote, finding herself to be something of a heritic. Like most descisions in life it had felt like the nobler pursuit at the time, but with the darkness closing in, she realized how terrified she was. Even if she had died in debt, the great elusive glimmer in the depths would have put her soul in a new body, bringing with her the debt and some vague memories. Another chance to die in the black. Goburi's last thoughts were dark specters of regret chasing themselves in circles of thought until she prayed for it to be done. She really had no idea where the souls of goblin heritics went, it had never really happened before. A new dungeon was born, a crystal of pure magic containing a soul that failed to pass to the afterlife. As it gained awareness something else came through that was never supposed to be there. Memories of a workshop, and an uncomfortable need to earn gold.

Beyond the Bridge
There are many worlds, many multiverses, and you can move between them via the Federation's Bridge network - magical gateways to other worlds. The world dubbed "C'thon" by its inhabitants - or Gamma-Theta-Nu-649, if you ask the Federation's bureaucracy - was deserted when the Federation found it. The "civilized" races had all died out centuries prior, and the wilderness had grown downright feral in their absence. Now, the lonely Federation outpost of Bridgetown is under constant threat from the hungry wildlife, malicious fey, territorial goblins, and wandering undead that surround it. The town's distance from the Federation's centers of power means that it gets precious few of the resources that it needs to stay safe and afloat. Enter the Guild of Adventurers, a plucky and disparate crew who do the Federation's dirty work in exchange for coin. One team, the first of many, crosses the Bridge to C'thon looking for fame, fortune, and (if they're lucky) the answer to a newly-discovered Prophecy. They'll get much more than they bargained for, although first they need to avoid being eaten by the local wildlife. Updates weekly on Wednesday. Chapters will be as long as they need to be for them to work, which means they can vary. If anything drops below 2500 words, I'll post an extra chapter if I have one ready. [PS: This is not a litRPG, but I do borrow heavily from TTRPGs for inspiration, and the general setting and storyline is from a TTRPG campaign I'm running.] [PPS: This is my first attempt at writing long-form fiction. I'm not trying to make a great piece of literature or have a multi-novel overarching plot, but hopefully it'll still be a fun story - let me know what you think in the comments.] [PPPS: Cover image is from a free-download wallpaper by Tyler Edlin; I do not own it, and will take it down immediately if requested.]
