What The Luck!? Chapter 141

They were all in motion as Jackson Watched. He slowly stood up and say Jane using her footwork to dance around Art. He started to realize that this wasn't a game of actually taking your opponent down. It had the minor goal of doing so to test stability, but the real goal was to understand the body's movement.
Jane was still trying to move in to Arts' blind spot but he was turning without crossing his legs a single time. This was a strategy that Jane would often use due to her high speed. However, this was easy for Art to predict. He didn't mind having a lesser speed since he was able to keep up by making tight rotations. The only problem was this made him dizzy.
Within just a few minutes Art teetered a little and was pushed over by Jane. He had lost his balance and completely lost footing. Jane turned away to find a new target but Asher was there to her surprise. She had been too focused on Art to notice Asher sneaking up.
Jackosn witnessed this and saw the benefit in taking advantage of a situation. There were many more aspects of this shadow tag game than he had anticipated. Just watching was enough to make him learn, he needed to stand and keep on going even if he fell.
Jackson's eyes fell on Louis and Sammy who were going against each other. The two were in a stalemate, one not trying to tag the other because they dodged each others' moves. Jackson wanted to be the deciding factor and tried to move in slowly. But he was still new to footwork training and he gave away his intentions before he was even close.
Within a second he had Louis and Sammy on each of his sides. "Tricked you, we're actually a team." Louis and Sammy tried to lower their level and grab Jackson's legs. The two pushed up with all their force in an attempt to topple him. However, they did not expect him to be heavy enough to resist them.

The results were a confused looking Jackson who believed himself to be about to fall and two surprised looking cousins. "You weight like a million pounds! How did you gain so much muscle weight?" Louis only wished he was stronger and could be like Jackson.
"I got my evo shot and this is what I was like when I woke up. I used to be pretty skinny." Jackson said this as he used one hand to give them both a push away. Not realizing the force he had used the two fell backwards and rolled on to their butt.
"You two can already roll when you fall? You need to teach me." Jackson thought their rolls to be intentional.
Samy and Louis both gave each other knowing looks and pretended they had intended to do it. "We just went with how it felt." Sammy's explanation was lacking.
"Of course we can roll with it. I felt I was falling so I turned the energy in to a backwards summersault." Louis sounded worse as pretending, But Jackson was too impressed to hear him and process this.
"Since we are the same beginner kevel please show me how." This was the grave the two had dug. Asher who had overheard them while he tried to challenge Jane again just smirked. He had a feeling this was going to be tough on Sammy and Louis who had thought themselves safe before.
Sammy and Louis were about to attempt to continue their ruse than to save face when Art burst in. He managed to topple them both in a second. They had just stood up but were on their butts again. "They can't teach you. Come with me and I will give you a proper lesson."
Art had dragged Jackson farther away leaving Asher and Laura to take care of Louis and Sammy. Before Jackson knew what was happening he felt Art's full force on his chest. Att had turned around and tackled him mid-step.

"You need to be more focused. You couldn't even start your stance." Jackson was on his butt stunned by the sudden betrayal of Art.
"Now pull your knees up and roll on your back." Art watched Jackson like a hawk. "Try to roll more and more until you go all the way back and are on your hands and knee. Just remember that feeling because those are the skills that will save you in a fight."
Art pretended to fall then fell in to a roll he hurtled towards the ground but turned slightly and rolled on to his back. His perfect roll landed him on his feet and not his butt. He was back on his feet before anyone could even notice. "Once you are that good or better then you will be able to take pretty much any hit like Asher. Although he avoids a lot because he has his lucky super power. He has a knack for catching you off guard"
Jackson had the feeling that Art was helping him more because he thought that he could take down Asher instead of the fact that he wanted to be helpful. The problem with this was that Asher had taken this chance to again sneak up and caught Art around the back. The nearly flawless body lock Asher used completely trapped Art.
"This is a good body lock for you to learn Sammy." Asher yelled to Sammy who was already approaching him. She circled the two and took note of positioning.
The two thought Art was done for, but surprisingly he wasn't even red faced. Ge was calmly breathing and trying to escape. The example he was setting was well beyond what they had expected. "Duck your head to the left and you should be out of it." Asher even started to guide Art which sped up the process. The two worked together even though Art had just been grabbed.
Jackson couldn't help but think of how lucky he was to find friends like this. Class one was very lucky. The fact that they helped each other improve and didn't get angry at something like this was why they could improve so quickly. This sparked Jackson's inner fire, finally breathing life in to his own desire to be a hero.

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat, 10am Central/ 3pm GMT. ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
