"Oooh!" That fight netted me three level ups! Wait why is my health full? Does it get refilled with each level up?
Correct
No reward for that one eh? Probably cause too many people figured out before me. But what happened to the injury on my chest?
It's gone! All praise Proficio Healing! Banzai!
Anyway, 25 unused stat points is pretty good. Alright, 'Add 15 to Agility and 10 to Dexterity'
I don't feel much different?
System are you cheating me?
-1 Wisdom
I am sorry oh wonderful system overlord.
Sarcasm aside so the system punishes back talk, quite the dictator there.
Now onto skills. 'Inspect skill Axe Mastery'
Axe MasteryA skill related to your proficiency with the AxePassiveLevel1 [12%]+15% damage while using an Axe
Minor correction on usage of Axe
That's pretty plain, but the minor correction will come in handy.
'Inspect Berserk'
BerserkA skill when activated makes you lose all reasoning for extra damageActiveLevel1 [0%]-90% to Wisdom and Intelligence
+60% to Strength, Agility and Dexterity
-20% to Fortification
That is pretty crippling for Warrior classes who don't have a lot of Int & Wis to begin with. Wis not so much for me.
Wait classes? Do they exist in the system?
Classes are unlocked from Level 10 onwards. Your class is decided from various factors including:TitlesStatsSkillsPersonality
Sweet classes! Personality? So if I'm cheerful I can't become an Assassin? That sucks.
Right. Upsie Daisy. Time to kill some Walkers. With that I can become level 10 and get my class.
The Walking Dead were even easier to kill than the Goblins especially with my 31 Agility. I made short work of them. I was now level 9 with 20% of the XP needed for the next level. I begin rooting through the apartments, I find a large hiking backpack which reminds me is there an inventory? 'Inventory'

InventorySpace Available: 30 Kilo's
So the Inventory is done by weight not slots. Bummer.
I throw preservable food into the inventory along with a pack of bottled water I found. Time for the next floor. My apartment is on the 3rd of 5 floors total. On the second floor I see two Goblin Scouts, 4 walkers, and two slightly thinner walkers.
'Inspect'
Running DeadLevel11Health80/80StatusN/AUnlike the Walking Dead these corpses are capable of running(duh). They don't hit as hard, but are faster.
So we have 8 enemies total. I would prefer to fight them in smaller groups. I take out a can of food from my inventory and crouch at the stair well. I quickly fling it towards the goblins. As they screech I'm glad the Zombies can't hear cause if they could I was screwed. Proving the Goblins were really retarded they ended up stumbling down the stairs in the anger for having food thrown at them. Now this is too easy. 1 chop. 2 chop.
Fatal Hit
Fatal Hit
The Runners and Walkers are too close to lure them so I guess I gotta bite the bullet, since I already know sneak attacks are worthless cause of my fucking aura. As one of the Gob scouts had a better axe than my current one I pick it up, while aiming my rusted one at a Runner.
*Ding*
Gained SkillAxe Throw
Pretty self explanatory, but the throw didn't kill the Runner. It did do sizable damage but now it was just pissed. It sprinted at me after alerting the other stiffs. Hayai! Before I knew it it was upon me flurrying hits on me.

Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! That thing took out more than a quarter of my health in 4 attacks! Fucking descriptions!
I can't keep up with it's speed I'm gonna have to use Berserk!

"[Berserk]!"
Once I shouted out the ability, everything seemed to become so simple. Blood, flesh, blades, murder, slaughter. All these things are just another necessity, another event on the road of life. All the while thinking this my body tore through the Walkers and runners while screaming for more slaughter. My body ran upstairs while leaking tremendous blood lust. On the third floor was the same as below, more corpses, more targets, more blood .
Before I knew it I had arrived before the stairs to the roof. Through the door I saw a monstrosity of flesh that put Frankensteins monster to shame, it had cracks in it's multicolored skin which oozed blood, it didn't seem bothered by it though. It's body oozed of slaughter and killing intent. My berserk self felt it's blood boiling. As it charged the monster finally took notice of my presence. It roared, angered at me for tainting it's presence, as if I was a lower being. My Berserk self had the bearing of a King like my title said, thus it couldn't tolerate being looked down upon as if it was a slap to it's face. It swung it's axe madly trying to remove the taint of it's pride while the Monster feeling the Aura swelled in size and blood flowed quicker and in vaster quantities through the cracks on it's body.
Thus it began, the axe with no thought behind it's direction swung as the thing was big enough to where aim didn't really matter.
The monster calmly took the hits, then casually swung it's fist down. The axe was raised to block the strike did little to stop it as it shattered under the force, which knocked my body into the wall. That was when my consciousness faded and Berserk properly took control.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ugh... *cough* *cough* *spurt*" What the fuck happened!? I pass out and I wake up sputtering blood!?
Blinking notifications flash across my view obnoxiously. I'll start with the oldest one I guess...
Level Up
Huh well that's probably from the stiffs I killed on my way here, no surprise there.
Class Selection has begunExamining Titles... Complete.Examining Stats... Complete.Examining Skills... Complete.Beginning analysis of Personality... Error.Because of Skill use Personality is in disarray.
Will make use of previous data on subjects personality and current personality.
Nani?
So obviously I reached Level 10 but does this mean they gave me a class based on my berserk self!?
I'm not gonna always be in berserk and to be perfectly honest I don't really have much blood lust.
I only kill because I need to. I hide behind a mask of cheerfulness like a fucking coward every day. Fuck! FUCK! FUCK! YOU THINK I WANT TO KILL!? YOU THINK I DIDN'T WANT TO GET MARRIED, HAVE KIDS, AND DIE OF A HEART ATTACK CAUSE OF MY BAD DIET!?
FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

Shoot on sight
Zone has no owner, it has its rules It shows no mercy, to both wise and fools. It has no God, it gives no hope It gives to kind, last rites and rope. It’s a Hell on Earth where demons thrive But people kill, to get inside. People kill, to leave this place People die, for a chance to stay. For those, outside, they dream of horrors We live inside, horrific borders. We live, we thrive, just like those demons. Here, our lives, they have a meaning. Zone has no God, it has no Devil But it has us and its enough We are in Hell or maybe Heaven Gates are here, in front of us. The Zone has many rules and none of them would make much sense to you, living on the Outside. For example here, you would never hear, “I’m sorry for your loss”. Only silence would be the answer. The most empathetic action you would receive, is an open flask and a nod. People here don’t expect to live long and happy lives and even the most optimistic person at most, would hope to die inside of a blender. It's the most painless and quickest way to die in The Zone, and the cleanest. Your body would be torn apart in a second by countless gravitational pulls, all centered on you, leaving nothing but a red circle outside of its perimeter.

The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.

The Fight We Chose
"No one starts a war—or rather, no one in his senses ought to do so—without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it."- Harold G. Moore November 22nd, 1963: The eyes of the world turn to the American city of Dallas, Texas, where normality has been forever shattered. An attack the likes of which the world has never seen before has turned the Cold War on its head as the new factor in the silent conflict threatens the balance. The world already teetering on the brink of war, the United States and those that lead it now have to balance a new threat, fantastical in origin, alongside the many others that come with the turbulent era of the 1960s. Eras collide. Values clash. The nature of war remains unchanged.
