《Player Glitch *paused*》Chapter 3 - Slaying a mighty evil
Advertisement
I feel better about this one compared to the last. Enjoy!
The midday light of the sun came shining through a thick canopy of leaves lighting up a small patch of the forest floor below.
A noise could be heard and only moments later the culprit was found in a small cute rabbit like creature with ears longer than its body that it dragged across the floor delicately. The rabbit like creature looked like it was enjoying his lunch of some healthy looking leaves and carrot chunks that it had discovered earlier that day, when suddenly...
'Thunk', 'Yaaaaa!', 'oops!'
---
Five minutes earlier.
Ludius had only just set out on his journey when he noticed something. "Isn't this supposed to be a game filled to the brim with dangerous wildlife? Where is all the wildlife?", Ludius asked curiously to whoever was listening. Unbeknown to Ludius after assigning his modest amount of stat-points all of the animals in the forest were simply no match for him and using the animal senses animals generally pride themselves on they've managed to avoid certain doom in the shape of a long white haired, pointy eared Ludius.
---
In Quod Venetus there where such things as levels and unlike other games where doing almost anything will get you the experience needed to level up, in QV you needed fighting experience. Ludius was technically level:0 at this moment in time as a player could not gain a level without killing anything and since Ludius needed level ups to use the points store he needed to kill something.
---
After finally another four minutes of bored walking Ludius finally came across what he was looking for, a beast that he could kill. The beast in question was a weird animal with what seemed like ears that it dragged around.

Ludius was a natural. With only one look Ludius identified the beast, that was the size of a large kitten, as a threat to himself and any villages or towns near.
Hiding in a bush while peeking between the leaves Ludius saw the evil monstrosity drag what looked like some leaves with some sort of suspicious looking orange flesh into the more open area to start eating.
"My god! That... Thing has already killed something. I must kill it before it can do any more harm!", Ludius whispered heroically to himself.
Slowly and silently Ludius drew his short sword from its sheaf at his waist and got into a position similar to a sprinter before the start of the race (as best he could whilst trying to be silent in a bush☺️).
Instantly Ludius accelerated with the speed of a man with his agility stat in the 2000's (imagine a cheater on steroids with booster rockets) straight towards the evil beast intending to subjugate it in one well placed strike and that he did.
'Thunk', was the noise of the flat edge of the short sword colliding with the side of the beast.
'Yaaaa!', was the noise that could only be described as the noise a small furry rabbit shaped creature makes when hit with a flat object and explodes into a red mist of its innards!?
And,'oops!', was the reaction of Ludius.
"I think I may have increased my stats a tad too much.", Ludius said with a grim smile.
'DING'
------------
LEVEL UP

"...", Ludius was shocked into a daze for a few seconds. "What a way to rub it in. It's not like I knew it was a normal rabbit.", said the heartless Ludius trying to justify himself.
Trying to put the whole bunny incident behind him Ludius looked at the rest of the messages. He had knew that his infinite points time would go up to 40 so that didn't surprise him much. But what did surprise him was the explanation to his new title. "Is this Rad Rabbit a boss? Well if I need to fight it in the future I'll inquire into getting a blunt weapon. For now though let's try to find a way out of this forest.", Ludius said enthusiastically and just as he said he left in a straight direction hoping to find his way out of the forest...
After eating a small snack of conveniently place carrots.

Midthalion Saga
+++Working on new chapters. Share what I've posted with your friends and family! Be sure to build strong bonds with those who are important to you. We only have each other in this world for so long!+++ Can Roderick XXIII gather together and train a party of adventurers to clear out Madeon Caves and bring peace to the wildmarches of Midthalion? Sent from his home monastery in the west to the wildmarches of Midthalion, Roderick the Holy Avenger is devoted to living out his oath to bring the Holy Light to the dark corners of the world. He enlists the help of an old friend, Ulrich Vogelbrandt the dwarf druid, to train and prepare a fighting force capable of defending the west from the evil they both see gathering and growing in the east. Eoroth is an ode to Tolkienesque epic fantasy, Robert E Howard and H.P. Lovecraft's pulp fiction, and Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons. I like to write about serious topics because I think it's fun. I hope it makes for a fun read. Place: Eoroth, a vast, flat world with many continents set in oceans that reach out and mingle with the Celestial Sea. Our story takes place on the continent of Thalion in the middle, unsettled region called Midthalion. Peoples: Races in Eoroth aren't different species; the species of man is just incredibly diverse, consisting of many known races (and perhaps some unknown). There are no humans in Thalion. Thalion's races include variations of elves, dwarves, halflings (billowits), pierros (clownish men), bergeracs (long-nosed and swarthy men of honour), orcs, trolls, goblins, and hobgobs. The Church: There's one dominant religion in Westhalion. The faith of the elves is an analogue to Roman Catholicism while the dwarves practice an Eastern Orthodox analogue. (Forgive me for not having figured out names yet.) The practitioners worship a triune god (the All-Father, Son-of-All, and Holy Light). There are many powers in heaven, all created by God. These include the Twelve High Thrones, individual, created beings who take on the role of guiding mankind in different aspects, drawing them closer and closer to God. (That should be the essentials. I could write pages on the theology. Comment where something's unclear in the story.) Natural World: There are plants and animals in Eoroth, but the world is also inhabited by spirits called aeons. Aeons are transformative beings; in the wild, they'll change based on whatever is happening nearby. Pollute a pond? Expect to see toxic toad-men running around. Leave a bunch of dead bodies strewn across a battlefield? Expect the place to become haunted with ghouls and ghasts. Druids are important for making sure that the aeons are pacified; that their needs are met so that they don't become rampaging monsters. Where the wilderness becomes overgrown, so too do the aeons. Aeons and People: Long ago, men learned how to trap aeons in stone tablets and use them for war. Now, anyone can capture an aeon into a special staff made by a druid. Men train, raise, and bond with these aeons. Druids often build entire ranches devoted to raising healthy aeons as allies and companions. Aeons are divided into twelve known families, and the church sees these as corresponding with the Twelve Thrones in Heaven. Direction: My goal is to get the story to one million words by June next year. I have tons of content in mind for the world. I want to release novels set in different ages of the world depicting different historical events. I hope to expand the setting into a tabletop role-playing game as well as a series of old-school JRPGs. But, it all begins with writing some stories and publishing my novels.
