《Creation - The Path of a God》Chapter 54 (Book 2 - Zombie World)
Advertisement
The closer he got to the opposing team's Crowd Controllers' location, Han was able to get an unobstructed view of the situation of the other side. Just as he was hoping, the other side was fighting off a wave, though the number of monsters was decreasing to be able to deal with the oncoming onslaught that was behind Han.
It would be hard for him to get past this group without alerting the other team. Han thought about whether he should try and fight off the Crowd Controllers while they were occupied or try and sneak past. The issue was with the monsters and how they would respond to him. Getting close and fighting the enemy would be close enough where the monsters would react to him, as a reaction to the violence. This meant that he would have to weave between the monsters and the enemy, which didn't sound like a pleasant experience.
Getting into combat would just drag things out, considering his constraints of not overly using his powers. He grinned at an idea that came to mind that would solve both issues in his mind.
"I'll have you guys not desire to notice me," He said to himself at the two players, currently, fighting.
As he increased his speed, he made an attempt to steer clear of them, but this time he didn't consider it as necessary. Even though Han was making a decent amount of noise, the distance between him and the two players was sufficient on top of them being affected by his abilities.
He watched as the players would turn towards where he was but then continue to look past him and deal with the immediate threat. "I may be cheating, but at least I'm putting in a little bit of effort in not being noticed," He grinned. If the players didn't have their helmets on, Han could picture their eyes not focusing on him and any sounds he made would be put on the back burner of their minds to deal with the more pressing issue at hand.

Sometimes, it wasn't the existence of power that was important but how it was used was significant. It would have been easy for him to quickly kill the two people even without him touching them, but such an action would cause a chain reaction of problems he would have to handle. Suspicion wasn't an emotion that just went away when it entered into a person's mind, and him using his powers too much would make people wonder how he was so skilled. Eventually, the amount of suspicion would get to a level where the only option would be to reset reality, though even he didn't know if he had that ability. If he couldn't reset reality, then this new experience couldn't be salvage and cause him to abandon this world.
"Next time, I'll make sure to fight you guys properly, but you guys have beaten us too many times. Call me cheap, but I'm not fond of seeing my teammates looking depressed after losing a game." Han thought to himself as he was continuing towards the Guards.
Compared to the Crowd Controllers, the Guards would need to be fought head-on instead of using some type of cheat. He hoped that his immoral act, earlier, would give him enough time to fight the guards and touch the door.
The current scene around him was identical to his side, just being a straight line in a canyon towards the door. With the CCs doing their job at keeping the monsters occupied, he didn't need to worry about fighting them and focus on the guards. Being three against one, Han knew it was going to be challenging hence why his role as a Charger was reserved to the strongest member in the team. Guards had more gear on them to match their functions, to hold off the enemy and monsters at the same time but this caused them to move slower. Their weapons were also focused on defense instead of offense, making it not as daunting of a task for him.
"I'm going to have to rely on you again, partner," Han said to his sword. Compared to when he first picked out the weapon, his Jackknife was vastly different, with a lot of upgrades placed on it. Before the game started, he made decisions on how his weapon should be balanced which affected his attack method.

Up ahead, he could see the three guards standing in front of a glowing door. Just like their's, the door looked like a giant could fit through it. The glow was due to the Guards still being alive and would prevent him from reaching his objective.
Pulling out his weapon, Han opened it up to its full length and held it behind him. The three guards made arm motions to direct one another and prepared to engage with Han. One of the guards had giant drills on their hands, making him think of a specific video game. Another had two artillery cannons their shoulders and some type of energy weapon shield. The last one had a something that looked like a mixture of a tower shield and an energy weapon.
"They really have their close, mid, and long ranges covered, making things interesting for me." Han groaned. This team was just at good with strategy, meaning he would have to be careful how he dealt with this group.
Clamps fell down onto the ground, drilling into the ground, on either side of the player with the artillery cannons. Han could see the player slightly crouching and leaning forward while the barrels lifted up.
"Fuck!" Han said, just as he heard a concussive blast. With how close he was, he only had a few seconds to leap to one side as the ground where he was located was torn apart in a fiery blast. Quickly getting up, Han glanced at his prior location and just saw a giant hole in the ground. "Not even a crater... It's a fucking hole in the ground!" Han swore sweat could be felt on his forehead as he thought about how it would feel to take that attack. "You guys better appreciate how much I enjoy being in this world," He growled in frustration. In the back of his mind, he was picturing people either cheering or booing him on screens across the various locations where the teams were located.
"I guess I'm going to have to do something about that person first," Han looked around and ran towards the guards while listening for the telltale sound of artillery approaching him. "This wasn't something I wanted to show off so soon, but I guess I'll have to demonstrate the new upgrade I made to my partner!"
In his hand, his weapon began to glow, and Han spun his weapon until a whistling noise was heard, the sound was like the air around him was being torn apart. Making a slicing motion at the guards, an invisible blade seemed to cut ahead of him. As it traveled across the ground, the dirt was kicked up and made visibility almost impossible.
"Too bad it takes so long to use that new move I added to my weapon," Han muttered, though he appreciated the cone-shaped dust cloud in front of him. "I really lucked out at acquiring that item."
It was at that moment that he heard another loud blast from the cannons, cheating with his vision, he saw that the explosion would completely miss him. As he continued to race towards the guards, a lot of the dust was eliminated due to the impact.
There was a feeling in his mind, directing him to roll to one side.
At that moment, a beam of light tore through the dust cloud.
Looking ahead of him, he saw one of the guards holding their shield to one side and aiming directly at him. Out of the barrel, there were arcs of energy coming off of the weapon to indicate that it was recently fired.
"I guess I'm dealing with you?" Han said to himself, thinking that this was just going to get even more difficult.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
