"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!

Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!

Daily life of a cultivation judge
Tired of those cultivators who think it is righteous to eliminate a sect or clan root and stem all in the name of revenge and avoiding future troubles, fights over treasures that end up destroying cities with no consequence whatsoever to the culprit, these psychos whose aim for the peak always involves a trail of carnage and bloodshed in its wake for some reason. Then look no further than the daily life of a cultivation judge. Yang Qing, is a young genius cultivator from a low-tier family whose only safe choice to get resources and hopefully lead an easy life led him to the courts of the Cultivation Order Society. Author’s disclaimer: Hey there this is my first novel so any criticism will be well taken though beware I’m a million-year-old monster who has cultivated the way of the sword to the peak. The daily life of a cultivation judge will be true to its name so it will be heavily on the slice of life lane with a bit of action here and there.Meaning we will see the life of Yang Qing when he clocks in and out. Hopefully, it will be one of those novels you read if you need to relax or are in a slacker mood like one of those otakus who listen to the noises of cicadas in the summer famously used in most animes. And it is in the slacker spirit that chapter release will be on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Sank yuuu Cover art by Conny Schneider on Unsplash
