《Ping Pong King》Chapter 2 - Class
Advertisement
"Alright. You guys can familiarize with each other more later on. For now, let's test our young Hero to see what class he will get." Grandine replied as he clapped his hands, signaling a priest to bring out the Testing Tablet.
When the priest brought out the Testing Tablet and hand it over to XiYang, he looked at the tablet and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"This is the Testing Tablet. Place your hand on the tablet and it will determine what class you have and what level you are at currently."
"Okay." XiYang replied as he placed his hand on the tablet. He too wanted to know what kind of class he will have.
The tablet shone a few seconds after XiYang placed his hand on the tablet. When the light disappeared, words appeared on the tablet.
Name: Wan XiYang
Title: Speed Berserker
Class: Ping Pong Master
Level: 100
"This...Ping Pong Master? What type of unique class is this?" Grandine said as he looked at the tablet.
"Ah...Ping Pong is a sport that I'm good at. It involves hitting a ball with a paddle at fast and powerful speeds towards your opponent in order to defeat them." XiYang embarrassingly replied while he scratched his temple. Why Ping Pong Master? Can he really defeat a demon with this class? Sounds implausible....
Grandine misunderstood XiYang and thought that Ping Pong was a powerful weapon technique. "Wow, sounds powerful. Speed Berserker is your title...and your level is 100?! That's terrific! You must be really strong. If given the chance, maybe you can demonstrate your ability and let us open our eyes."
"Haha...maybe some other time."
"Awww...why not now. Please?!" Risa said as she grabbed XiYang's arm. XiYang blushed and tried to get Risa to let go. However, she refused to let go until he displays some of his prowess. Finally, XiYang agreed.

XiYang took out his paddle and saw a note attached to his paddle. He looked at the note and realized it was from the White God. The note basically said that the White God gave him a few gifts to help him with his mission. The White God made it possible for him to bypass the language barrier. In addition, he made the paddle unbreakable with a special skill of increasing the power of an attack the faster he strikes an object with the paddle. XiYang smiled...at least he won't be entirely powerless.... He rummaged through his bag and pulled out a ball. He held it up for everyone to see before motioning the crowd to make some room. After the crowd gave way, XiYang looked around for a target. He saw a nearby tree.
"I will aim at that tree." XiYang replied as he pointed to the tree. The crowd looked over expectantly and waited patiently for his demonstration.
XiYang threw the ball into the air and waited for the ball to fall. At the moment where the ball fell to the ideal height, he whipped out his paddle and smashed the ball towards the ground. The ball hit the ground and bounced towards the tree...or not. Contrary to his expectations, the ball drilled into the ground instead and disappeared. Seconds later, a poof sounded out and the ball emerged from the ground a few feet away. The ball smashed into the tree and embedded itself into the tree. Everyone gasped in astonishment...including XiYang.
"Wow! What is the name of that move?" Janet asked in interest.
"Uh...that was...uh...the Tunneling Shot." XiYang said as he made up the name. The move he did was supposed to be a regular smash but because of the paddle's special ability, the move caused the ball to drill into the earth instead and became something like a special move.

"And you have more special moves like that? Amazing!" Risa praised.
"Ah...seeing that move, my worries are settled." Grandine replied. "Come, have a good rest and set out on your journey tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? So soon? What about preparations?" XiYang inquired.
"All have been taken care of...money...supplies...everything."
"Haha, so all that was missing was me."
"You are correct."
"I see...then...rest? I'm sure you have a feast prepared as well am I right?"
"Haha! Naturally, come this way." Grandine replied as he guided XiYang to the dining hall.

Touch O' Luck (The Old Realms)
A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war. The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something. The Old Realms series: Touch O' Luck (Finished) Lure O' War (Ongoing) Wings O' Fate First chapters will be uploaded immediately. After that there will be updates every 3-5 days. Cover artwork by @IntheBlackveil All tags are relevant but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.

Keter
They called him "Keter"; The Top-Most; The Crown. An unsurpassable, unstoppable, unkillable soldier. Etched with a twisted set of morals and studded by an impossible drive for lachesism, Keter terrorized the world for ages. But time, you see, is a most patient thing. As sure as it gives, so does it take. Even the Crown saw the eternal spindle drawing on him. He blinked, for the last time, and saw a world anew. Synopsis. So, basically, I’ve gotten tired of all these stale mcs that keep popping up left right and center. Either they are painstakingly good-natured or horribly written ‘evil’ characters. So, here’s my take on the concept of a Villain. Someone ruthless, cunning, and not shy of seeking darker means to an end. Hell, as long as it’s effective, he’ll prefer the blacker side of business. The new world will be, like many others, one in a medieval-type setting with traces of magic and the like; though I hope to make better use of this than most others who simply steal ideas from classical novels or other sources.

Contains Alcohol use, Drug use, Gore, Profanity, Smoking, Violence.Rated [D] for Drama. Contains emotional themes, interpersonal relationships, and character development. Author's note: You are reading a first draft, written mostly while drinking cheap whiskey. Expect it to read like hot garbage and I guarantee that it’ll meet your expectations. I’m a storyteller, not a writer - there’s a huge difference between the two professions. IMPORTANT! This story is told in a first-person limited, conversational style, with Emmett occasionally breaking the 4th wall and addressing the reader directly. This means that YOU and Emmett may have absolutely no idea why stuff is happening, because there will be little or no exposition or other POV's. Read the comments for spoilers, ask questions if you want to know something.This work incorporates blended aspects of Xianxia, Wuxia, Super powers, and Western Magic into a post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure. It is none of those things and all those things, mashed together. The MC is Over Powered, but so are many, many others. He just hasn't met them yet. Dear Student, What follows is an adaption of the diary of Emmett Carter before his Ascension. While the decades during and after the Aurora Apocalypse are lost to us, the Ascended himself has allowed us to publish this work so long as we warn the reader that it may not be entirely accurate or present an unbiased viewpoint of the events. One should also note that the Aurora was in flux during that time and some things that were possible in the early days are no longer possible, especially with the advent of the Akashic record. Editors have included footnotes when possible to explain pre-aurora technologies or concepts and how they relate to current magical technologies. The contents of this work may upset readers. If you’ve ever been in a natural disaster, had a house fire, witnessed a murder, lost a loved one to violence, or have a strong opinion on the sanctity of life, please do not read this. It contains dramatic scenes of a world in the throes of an apocalyptic event. There are no rainbows and unicorns, only loss, uncertainty, and death while the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives. Updates Thursdays and Sundays for now. Word count is about 2000 ~ 4000ish per chappie.
