《Ping Pong King》Chapter 9 - Night Raid Final Part

But his response was several arrows flying towards his head. Tor rolled to his side and scrambled up. He seethed with anger and was about to charge forward when a rock smacked into his chest, exploding in the process. The power of the rock forced him back a few steps, his chest still stung from the damage. Tor rubbed his chest and growled. Nile was right, these intruders were strong.
"Nile! Help me out here!" Tor shouted as he looked behind him...but Nile was not there. "Nile! Bitch! You dare to abandon me! I'll skin you alive and make boots out of you!"
"Is it alright for you to look elsewhere?" Janet roared as she charged from the shadows and smashed her shield into Tor.
Tor grunted from the charge as he was knocked flying back and out of the castle. Janet positioned herself in front of the doors and held her shield and hammer up in a defensive stance. Tor looked at the armored woman, observing her every movement. Suddenly, water missiles shot from behind Janet. Tor jerked back at the sight of the water missiles. He was lucky enough to dodge the projectiles, but what he did not expect was that arrows were hiding behind the water missiles. Although the water missiles missed their target, the arrows however were able to penetrate Tor's legs and thighs.
Tor grunted as he tried to stand, his legs trembling violently as his strength seeped out from under him. Blood trickled out from his wounds. He knew that he can't pull the arrows out for fear of faster blood loss. Bearing through the pain, Tor tried to walk forward. But, unexpectedly, his legs went numb and he collapsed. He couldn't feel his legs...this sensation...poison!
"Cowards! Using poison...kuh!" Tor shouted in frustration and pain.

"That's right. Pine here can use poison, but it's not like he isn't allowed to use them. After all, there is no cowardly moves in battle only cunning strategies." XiYang replied as he walked out from the shadows and towards the fallen demon. Pine, Risa, and Janet followed close behind.
Tor eyed the approaching XiYang. He hoped this human would continue walking towards him...after all, he had a trump card up his sleeve. To be defeated like this, it seemed he was investigated thoroughly. However, no matter how thorough, these intruders definitely do not know of his most secret skill that he did not show anyone even in the demon army. Tor continued to stare intensely at the human...until finally, he looked straight into the eyes of the human and smirked.
When XiYang was approaching the collapsed demon leader, he noticed the demon was staring hard at him...could he have something up his sleeve? Or was he scared? As he continued walking towards the demon, the demon suddenly looked straight at him...a sneer appeared on his face. Not good! This demon must have a trick up his sleeve. XiYang reached for his paddle and prepared for an incoming attack of some sort.
A fireball shot out from Tor's mouth. This was Tor's secret move...and most dangerous move. The fireball uses the flames of his life...in other words, it uses his life force to power up and form the fireball. The fireball blasted towards the human. Tor grinned in victory as he saw the other intruders' panicked eyes...but when he saw the human in front of him...he frowned. XiYang was calm...there was no panic or shock...as if he expected Tor to do something. What XiYang did next caused Tor to grimace in resignation.

As the fireball flew towards XiYang, his party all tried to warn him but they were not fast enough. However, XiYang anticipated this surprised attack and swung his paddle at the fireball. Given his paddle's special attributes, he was able to smash the fireball back towards Tor. The fireball smashed into Tor, sending him in flames and pain. Soon, the fire subsided, leaving a burnt corpse
"Wow! Didn't know you could do that." Pine said in shock and wonder.
"Me neither." XiYang replied in agreement.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

Yuusha Isekai! Youjo Suki!
When Elijah, thirty year old civil servant, open lolicon, and anime otaku finds himself in a new world rather than snuggled up to his Flan-chan Dakimakura, whatever will he do? Will his genre savvy and surprisingly unspectacular cheat be able to save the kingdom, and its cute (if dumb) juvenile princess? Or will he go down in a blaze of foolish glory like the ikemen before him?>> This novel is now dead. It will no longer receive updates. [This is a crazy parody novel, by the way. The goal is a good isekai harem story minus the beta JP MC, but adding unique girls that outgrow their stereotypes, whilst making fun of the genre and popular anime and game culture at large.]
