《Zenith》3 - Pandora's Sword
Advertisement
After accepting the quest, i headed over to the farm and noticed a few purple-coloured weird rats. I got closer to them and read their stats.
Rat
Lvl: 0
Health: 50
Attack: 10
Skills: None
Without delaying further, i went ahead and started to kill them. These rats only attack every 5 seconds while i could finish one of them in 10 seconds. None of my attacks missed which was probably because of the luck attribute. After mercilessly killing them for another 5 minutes, i had finished the 30th rat and my lvl rose up to lvl 1.
"Ding!"
Oh? so one can get rewards for being the first person to do something, eh? Well, i better speed up then.
First of all, i walked up in a hurry to the old village chief to recieve my quest reward. "Bravo young man, you have not dissapointed me. I can see you becoming a great hero in the future. Here are your quest rewards"
I immediately equied my [Noob's sword] and checked its stats
[Noob's sword] :
Damage: 5-10
Special effect : None
Well its still better than the initial sword which added 1 damage.
I wanted to make sure that i would be the first player to reach lvl 2. So, to earn experience faster i decided to go to the lvl 3 training ground. As soon as reached there, i saw various packs of wolves staying in various regions. I decided not to confront them and to amush them one by one. I walked through the forest at the side and observed the behavior of the wolves. "Know yourself and your enemies and you will win" was something i believed in. Just as i was thinking on how to ambush them i noticed something breathing behind me. I looked back and saw a Huge wolf about 50 metres away from me. This wolf was standing on 2 legs and as i looked around, i noticed 2 female wolves 'entertaining' him.

Damn these developers, wtf is this. Well its all good for me, i can ambush him when he's distracted
I walked a little further and read the wolf's stats. Apparently, he was the king of the wolves.
Wolf King
Lvl: 5
Health: 5000
Attack: 100
Skill:
Woah, it's a black tier boss. I will probably get some sort of achievement reward if i manage to slay this
Bosses and equipments in Zenith were of 10 tiers: Noob, Black, Silver, Gold, Violet, Emperor, Saint, Divine, Demi-God and God. Open-world bosses in Zenith would not spawn again once slain which made the competition for them very tight. My luck attribute was starting to show it's importance. This boss even just being one tier above noob tier was still very difficult for me slay by myself. I had to take advantage of the terrain. I walked around and looked up to see if i could take advantage of the terrain. 20 meters to my left i found a 100 meter deep hole. If i could bait and drop the boss down the hole, it was possible to kill him. Then, i immediately covered the hole with some leaves until the hole could not be seen. Now, time to bait the boss. Since, the boss was still being 'entertained' it was super awkward for me go ahead. So, i picked up a stone and threw it at the boss.
"0" popped up in the boss's head but it was enough for me to again the aggro of the boss.
The boss looked up to me in fury and said "You dare disturb me while im having fun? Looks like you're tired of living." Then he pushed away the two female wolves and started to run towards me. I immediately started to run towards the trap i had created while maintaining the distance between me and the boss to be as minimum as possible to decrease the chance of the boss finding about the trap. When i was just a nipple hair away from the trap, i made a back turn, dashed towards the left, crouched and kicked the boss's leg towards the hole. The boss fell down the hole and number popped up in his head.

"3000"
Damn, it was not enough to kill him. Oh well, its not like the boss could do anything to me though. Next, i had to find a way to finish of the boss without goind down. I could not deal ranged damage since i was a swordman. So, i rolled the largest rock i could find and threw it down the hole. That was enough to kill the boss.
"Ding!"
"yes"
A system notification popped up throughout the server.
Hell yeah! a white light flashed through me and my level was raised to lvl 3.
"Ding!"
F*ck yeah! I was rich! I had a total of 3570 copper coins. I exchanged it for 3 gold coins and 5 silver coins and had 70 copper remaining. The only thing bad about this was that i could not pick the boss drops as it was down in the hole. Well, i could go down, collect everthing and kill myself to respawn but death results in -1 Lvl in Zenith and i decided that it was not worth it. I walked back to the town and went to the merchant to see if there was anything interesting. There was one item which gained my interest.
Pandora's sword
Damage : N/A
Special equip : Every time you draw a sword, the sword becomes another sword. You can draw the sword once every 3 minutes and the sword also automatically resets every 3 minutes. The chances of getting a sword of higher tier is 1/100^n where n is the number of tiers above. For example, the chance to draw a god tier sword is 1/100^8 = 1/10000000000000000 as god tier is 8 tiers above black tier. The drawn sowrd will never be of noob tier.
Cost: 2 Gold
It was a fine equipment for everyone but for me, with my max luck attribute, this was a gift from the heavens! My max luck would increase the chances drastically and would make it 10% chance to draw a god tier sword.
OP!, Super OP!

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
