《THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP》THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP - Chapter 12 : The Battle of the Arch Devil
Advertisement
We were cautious.
We didn't know what kind of magic this demon has. it could have curse magic, or fire, or dark. eve thou i would never die because of my my stats being all infinite, i was still scared somehow. i knew that i could kill this demon in one punch, kick, slash, or even touch, so i let Elizabeth fight this. but, being the helpful person i am, i appraised him.

He has Dark, Fire, and curse. damn this demon has talent. and he's about the only one that I've seen that has all 3-digit stats except for luck.
"Hey, Elizabeth. you'll be fighting on your own." [Henry]
"Huh? why?" [Elizabeth]
"Since i'll just one-shot the demon, i'll just join in if something happens." [Henry]
"Fine." [Elizabeth]
So Elizabeth engages battle with the arch devil. the arch devil makes an enraged face, but it only scared Elizabeth a little.
(I wonder why Elizabeth is so fearless.)
The demon opens the purple book and begins to chant. Elizabeth saw this as a chance and charged at the arch devil. but she was to late, the devil was already finished with his chant and a ball of darkness was formed. the demon grabbed the ball and crushed it to the ground. then suddenly a shadow of Elizabeth was formed, but in 3D. then a shadow of me appeared as well.
(Is it like the the shadow from the myth of Zelda?)
It has the same figure, but completely black, and has red eyes. my shadow's attacks were weak, it was just punches and kicks over and over. i think the shadow's stats comes from the stats of appraisal. i punched the shadow and it disappeared into black smoke. meanwhile, Elizabeth stopped and had a stance. the shadow copied her stance.

Elizabeth attacked the shadow, the shadow parries the attack, and attacks as well. then she parries, then the shadow parries, then just a massive amounts of time, wasted on parries. Elizabeth finally killed the shadow. and charges to the arch devil again. the arch devil charges as well, and it slashes Elizabeth in the shoulder. Elizabeth attacks again, but it was useless. just slash after slash, and she finally fell on her knee, but had the rapier as a crutch. the devil was only lightly scratched.
"I must not lose!" [Elizabeth]
"Who told you to win?" [Henry]
"My pride!" [Elizabeth]
"So you're one of those girls..." [Henry]
"What do you mean!?" [Elizabeth]
"Nothing." [Henry]
"I'll just take it from here before you die." [Henry]
"Fine! but i'll get the next one, okay!" [Elizabeth]
"Okay." [Henry]
I stepped in the devils way, and the devil stopped. it was giggling, then chuckling, the finally laughing out loud. wow, even a demon has a sense of humor.
The demon charged at me, then slashes at me with full force. the demon thought that i have died, but i was only behind him. i tapped his shoulder, and he looked behind him. he saw me still alive and breathing. the demon became confused, but soon after, he slashes at me. i stopped it with my hand, then i punched him in the gut. and his gut blew up. just pieces of him everywhere, my clothes completely covered in blood, his lower body falling down on the ground, and an ear again on my hair.
(Why always an ear on my hair?)
'You have leveled up!'
'You have leveled up!'
'You have leveled up!'
'You have leveled up!'
'You have leveled up!'
'You have leveled up!'
'You have leveled up!'
'You have leveled up!'
Eight levels huh. Well my strength doesn't really equal to my level.

Then i saw Elizabeth, with a shocked face, well that's pretty common i guess when you see a fat man just obliterate an arch devil.
"That was amazing!" [Elizabeth]
"Yes! praise me for my absolute destructive power!" [Henry]
"I shall praise thee, the ultimate cheater!" [Elizabeth]
"Ugh!" [Elizabeth]
"Oh yeah. give me a sec." [Henry]
giveHenryBlack Heal Max |
'Skill acquired: [Heal]'
'[Heal] has leveled up from LVL :1 to LVL :MAX'
I activated [Heal] and some light was surrounding my hand. i placed my hand on all of the injuries that Elizabeth had, it instantly healed the wound. just one touch, then completely healed. it was amazing! but i couldn't heal one place since it was, in a certain place.
Right after i finished healing Elizabeth, it seems that the other parties has arrived. so i quickly took the ear of the arch devil off my hair, and flew back to Fenrig. while flying, i was bored, so i started a conversation.
"What abilities do you want, Elizabeth?" [Henry]
"Nothing really. i only rely on my strength and my mastery of the sword." [Elizabeth]
"So... no cheats?" [Henry]
"Yes, no cheats." [Elizabeth]
"Except for this one, cause this is awesome!" [Elizabeth]
"Yeah flying is awesome." [Henry]
"Oh! we didn't take the skills of the arch devil." [Henry]
"Well, i didn't really needed to take it. because i have you." [Elizabeth]
"Wow. that's the best thing a girl has ever said to me." [Henry]
"Really?" [Elizabeth]
"Yeah." [Henry]
"..." [Henry]
"..." [Elizabeth]
"well, sorry for making this really awkward." [Henry]
"Yup." [Elizabeth]
After that awkward conversation, we finally arrived at fenrig. we landed at our wooden house. i used [Cleaning Magic] to clean the blood off of myself, and Elizabeth. after that, we went to fenrig. When we reached the gate, as always, the guard stopped us. we showed our id's and then we entered Fenrig.
We went straight to the adventurer's guild, opened the door and placed the piece of ear on the counter.
"Um... this is?" [Alisa]
"The body part of the arch devil in the mission to hunt down the arch devil." [Henry]
"I am terribly sorry, but that quest has already been finished."
"What?" [Henry]
"Really?" [Elizabeth]
"It was completed by the adventurer Cory Glifit." [Alisa]
I remember that f*cking name. that a*shole! he took my god damn reward! where did he even get the part?
"Excuse me, but may i see the body part that was submitted?" [Henry]
"certainly." [Alisa]
Alisa the put out an ear also. i obviously appraised it.
Body Part: Ear
From: Goblin
Killed from: Cory Glifit
It wasn't even a f*cking real one! oh he's so going to get in trouble.
"That Alisa, is fake." [Henry]
"Excuse me?" [Alisa]
"It is but, a goblin ear, that is meant to look like an ear from the Arch Devil." [Henry]
"I'm sorry, we have not yet confirmed if it's genuine. may i please take the ear in your possession? for the event of the first ear being fake." [Alisa]
"Here you go." [Henry]
"Thank you. please come back tomorrow for a response." [Alisa]
"Bye Alisa." [Henry]
"Goodbye Alisa." [Elizabeth]
"Goodbye." [Alisa]
Well, that takes care of that. Cory will be arrested for fraud, and i'll get back the reward. it was midnight, we decided to go to sleep. we then left Fenrig, and went to the the wooden house. Elizabeth went in first ans lied down on her bed. i lied down to, and just drifted away in my sleep.

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.

[Comics*] Season Of Destruction
Born as mortal sons to Napoleon Bonaparte's personal surgeon and forever altered by the sinister mentor who made them orphans, bloodsucking vampire brothers Lucien, Thibault and Marcel are less Lugosi, more dashing serial killers, sour and snobbish, fond of fine things. Not unlike a competitive clan of creepy Kennedy cousins. These nearly immortal all-stars of mayhem and murder lack talons, retractable fangs and vulnerability to garlic or sunshine. They cast shadows. They make reflections in mirrors, and when buried, our boys enter a state of metabolic suspension, "sleeping" until it's safe to rise and return to their work, harvesting heads. After more than 150 years in hibernation, the vampires are revived by the spilled blood of methamphetamine users killed in a gangland ambush. The trio are instantly and utterly addicted - not to the toxic drug itself, but to the blood of those who intravenously use meth. Soon the frankendrug's grip draws their destinies into a narrow spiral of addiction, and their plans to return to modern France are sidetracked, then forgotten as they become lost in the American empire-turned-nightmare of 2028. Season of Destruction is a story that runs on bodies. It's a swim meet in a shark tank, and very few make it out alive. It's a story about the beginning of the end of the world.
