《Curses》14. Some fun
Advertisement
My style of combat completely overwhelmed the goblins, who may or may not be able to move. Goblins have around 5 dexterity, when my {Hex of Slowness} is applied to them it may push their dexterity into the negatives making it impossible to move. From there I just poked them in vital spots. It was extremely easy, and after poking my way through the first floor, I ended up on a mini-boss.
The mini-boss was a five-foot hob-goblin, it had light orange skin with warts covering its face. Disgusting as always, but it would be a good test of my abilities right now. As I cast {Hex of Slowness} and I felt something I rarely ever felt while casting my spells, resistance. It took more mana than normal to hex the hob-goblin before taking hold on it.
The hob-goblin started to look around as fast as it could. It wasn’t very fast given the drop in dexterity. It found me after a couple of seconds due to my horrendous stealth skills. Even in my past life I never got the handle on stealth, I even had a skill for it and it never worked.
With a snort, the hob-goblin charged me or tried. It was super slow due to a certain hex placed on it. I walk over to it as casually as I could, holding my rapier I take some pokes at him. It barely does anything to the slow hob-goblin.
Upset that my low stats weren't allowing me to use the rapier effectively. Sighing, I dispelled {Hex of Slowness} and cast {Lesser Curse of Immolation}. Gasping as the mana cost was raised to 70 to cast it once. Why did a mini-boss at floor 1 have resistance to hexes and curses? It was a mystery for another day.
For now, I watched the hob-goblin slowly burn up on the inside with a smile on my face as I danced around the easily read attacks. It was always fun to watch my curses work their magic.

The hob-goblin was immolated after a short while, a warm feeling filled me up.
[LEVEL UP]
[+1 TO INTELLIGENCE]
[+1 FREE POINT]
That felt good, now it was time to get to level 4 or 5, then fight the first boss. Before I left, I checked out the hob-goblins drops. It was a paintbrush? The drop I got is a paintbrush. I didn’t have an identifying skill so I would get it checked after I got out of the tower.
Skipping along while casting {Hex of Slowness} on every goblin I found before stabbing them in the heart and skipping away. I repeated this process until I found the next mini-boss. It went pretty much the same way. Low damage with a rapier, curse resistance, and the same paintbrush. Well, I could only hope it was expensive. I also got a level up.

I put the free points into wisdom and started to head for where I thought that the boss was located. It was time for my first boss fight in this life.

Tales of the Old World Demon Lord
1984 had indeed come, however it was 100 years late. In 2084 a man named [Sovereign] had taken control of the entire globe and the destiny of Humanity itself was in his hands. Many called him evil, perhaps he was, but Sovereign believed that he was cultivating the future of humanity; he knew that if Humanity continued on its current trajectory it would not last. However his plans came to an abrupt end when he was tragically murdered by his closest confidante. For a time after that the world finally found peace as their evil overlord had been overthrown but as Sovereign had predicted the world indeed came to an end. Humanity had returned to its old ways, they reconstructed borders, created separations known as 'countries' and in the end without unification and a single future, war had once again engulfed the world. Slowly as it choked on its own ineptitude the humans killed themselves off as their resources depleted and the planet was made uninhabitable. However this was not the end of the story for Sovereign, but a new beginning. Born again in a world of swords and sorcery he quietly evaluates the mettle of these new humans. Should they not come to meet his standards then 'Sovereign' would also be reborn. "To the primitive fools who believe magic reigns supreme, allow me to demonstrate the might of the old world technology."Arc 1: Kenesis Enhancement Project/SovereignArc 2: Human Immortalization Project/Nemesis Arc 3: The Skyfall Project/Gungnir

Limits
Have you ever considered, what is a Limit? Well, I have. I’ve seen people who were as strong, as wild animals. Those that were faster than the wind. Some that shined with intellect. Yet, what are the Limits of mankind’s strength, or intelligence? No one seems to know. We develop more and more, seemingly without an end. What if, someone was the smartest in the world? Would that suggest the Limit? What if, someone was the strongest in the world? Would that be the Limit? Would that make that someone, more than a Human? These are just questions, but what if I saw people reach their Limits? What if I know what happens, when you break the Limits? What if I were to tell you about it, would you believe me? (This novel is no longer published on royal road. If you wish to read more than 1st volume, head to webnovel. That is all)

Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
