《Inglorious Bastard》Chapter 15,5: Status Log #3
Advertisement
Sun is shining, birds are chirping, and the last of the annoying football nuts that have been driving me crazy for what felt like eternity have finally left the city. Yippity-doo-da!
With Ch15 done and over with, we make a smooth transition from "unnamed_story_arc_1" to "unnamed_story_arc_2": life on the run will finally come to an end, and with my godly authority of a writer John will soon meet many new friends to annoy and be a dick to. Isn't that just delightful?
Without further ado, onto Funkalicious Trivia we go!
XVI) Remember that final scene from Chapter 10? Well guess what, this is already the third timeline. In the original cut John never met Amelia and instead became pals with Medrek, it was a short story about two pals raising havoc across the world, gradually falling deeper into the madness and becoming an inhuman monster from sudden acquisition of power after being summoned into a new world. Both eventually get slain by those who got summoned afterwards, only for those heroes to get drunk on their power too and repeat the endless cycle of corruption. In the second timeline John indeed met Amelia, but got killed by the fall, thus leaving her to take over as a heroine without the special power John had, left to fend for herself with the teachings he imparted onto her over that short one week they knew each other. And yet, time and space got distorted again and the third cycle began. Will it be the last? Who knows. Not me. I've long lost control.♪
XVII) As was stated earlier, classes provide an increase to one or more stats and this increase...well...increases when the class reaches mastery level by reaching the cap of lvl.50. However, the quality of the class sharply affects the growth - Villager and Magic Knight many both increase user's physical strength and endurance, but bonus given by the former class will be dwarfed by the latter. It is considered unusual to have more than 3~4 classes, as there are similar classes with almost identical structure (such as Soldier/Mercenary), but most demand not only particular actions or events to trigger them, but also possessing the right mindset for the job.

XVIII) To breathe life into a golem, mana is a must. Amount varies greatly based on the golem's quality - golems made of clay or soil take next to none mana, but in exchange they are good-for-nothings with zero intelligence, weak, frail and unable to do anything but the simplest tasks without failing spectacularly; golems made of noble metals or alloys however, shall suck out enormous amounts of mana from their immediate surroundings. In exchange they can offer their creator a perfect servant that shall never age and complete even the nigh impossible requests even if it kills them in the process.
XIX) Long-long time ago it was a well known fact that elementals and golems have extreme aversion towards each other, to the point where they would attempt to kill each other on sight. The reasons for that are a mystery. When a certain archmage tried to question an elder earth elemental and an advanced earth golem on the matter, the only answers he got were "...bah, abnormal freaks." and "...". Cultural research of this bizarre conflict slowly came to a stop soon afterwards.
XX) Headhunter class is a bit of a...special case. Unknown to 99,99999% of the populace (in other words, to anyone but those in possession of said class), it is bestowed on disturbed people that for one reason or another developed a compulsion for collecting heads or skulls of those they've slain and putting them on display. This broken class doesn't gain experience like the others and cannot be trained. Instead it increases by one level every time the owner adds a new species of creature to his collection. The skills gained from the class are unknown due to secrecy and blatant paranoia of the wielders, our apologies.

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

Corrupted Guardian
The world was devastated by wars lasting for centuries. The glorious civilizations were crushed or succumbed to their own corruption. The society was plunged back into dark ages, knowledge was lost or forgotten. In this world full of gloom and doom a mysterious creature is weaving his own fate in hopes of prosperity. Within couple decades of his life he gathered a substantial knowledge and now is time to act. Yet he cannot act alone, his plans need allies and friends. He needs people he can trust and rely on. This is a story of his adventure towards his heart desires. Beasts and monsters, humans and elves, beastkin and others will stand in his way. Be advised: The fiction will feature smutty content, questionable morals, pointless violence and gore, cardboard characters and most off all poor English. Saying that please give it at least three chapters. I want to know what you think.
