《Re: Apocalypse Games (GAMELit)》026 - New Challange
Advertisement
The last 2 hours of the round were the moment where the game gave the players another challenge. When all thought the blizzard was over and tried to venture outside to gain a couple points, the game threw wolves at them.
The sound of howling that they had just heard was an indication that the wolves had come near.
Alan specifically lured these savage animals using the scent of blood. It's the universal sign that attracts predators, especially for wolves gifted with a receptive smell 14 times greater than human. They can smell blood from a mile away.
With the two hours countdown just arrived, Alan has lured all the wolves within half a dozen block radius of the Library.
Howwwlllll
As soon as Smiley heard the sound of howling, he quickly became terrified hysterically.
"Wolves!! In New York.. no, no.. this is crazy."
Immediately after that, Alan glanced at Nims, and the monk, as if he had already been aware of what he needed to do, pulled and dragged the poor man back into the library room through the large broken window, leaving Alan outside. Waiting for the wolves to arrive.
Howwwllll
Alan braced himself as the howling sound became more distinct, which meant that the group of beasts started to get closer to his current location. Alan focused his attention on the far-off location, and not long after that, his eyes could catch the appearance of the savage wild animals.
A pack of eight grey fur wolves,
Each of the wolves had a more incredible speed and strength than a regular human.
Added with their sharp fangs, claws, and the fact they always came in a pack made these creatures some of the mighty forces of nature that humans would ever need to face.
Truly magnificent creatures indeed. But this was not the right time to admire those beasts because today, they would be part of the stepping stones to achieve his success.

Alan was ready to walk back to the room. Just as he was about to do so, he heard a sound coming from the other side of the street.
"Two packs…"
Alan walked inside, saw Laura, and told her to quickly take Smiley to the other room and shut it close..
He then stood behind the barricades, one of the two narrow two meters corridor lines of book cabinets that he and Nims had prepared earlier.
Howwwwllll
Right at this moment, the wolves were already outside of the room. Their movement, smell, fangs, and the saliva that dripped from them all very real like.
As the wolves closed the distance between them, a piece of information arrived, both into the [Gamelink] and directly into his mind.
[Grey Wolves]
[Type: Beast]
[Rank: F+]
[Remarks: Everyone's Dream's Pet]
"Ok, Nims time for a fight!" Said Alan, giving the signal to the monk.
Nims had closed his eyes with one of his arms holding the [Sledgehammer] and placing the other on his chest, praying.
At this precise time, Alan heard little footsteps of the wolves as they entered the room. One walked into his lane, stared in front of him, growled for a second, and then jumped at him in speed.
ROOAARR
Alan swiftly made a sidestep and hard elbowed down at the jumping wolf, which caused it to fall to the ground. He then quickly pierced his knife at the back of its head.
[Impact: Inflicts 12 Damage]
[Stabbing: Lethal Attack. Inflicts 40 damage, Target dies…]
[You gained 80 XP and 40 survival points]
Without special skill, the system would not show the beast's total HP, but with his past experience, Alan knew that each of these wolves had a total of 50 HP. As a result, one normal attack and one that hits on its vital parts would create a Lethal Attacks bonus that would double the inflicted damage.

One down, and the next one was already charging at him. Alan was a bit unprepared for this sudden attack, making the wolf manage to tackle him down this time. However, his [Hunting Knife] readily pierced through its jaw straight to the wolf's brain.
[Stabbing: Lethal Attack. Inflicts 45 damage]
The wolf howled in pain. He swiftly pulled out the knife, stood up, and stared at the whimpering beast. Following that, he threw a kick to its head and crushed it.
[Impact: Lethal Attack. Inflicts 20 damage, Target dies…]
[You gained 80 XP and 40 survival points]
Alan managed to defeat two wolves in a row. It wasn't that the wolves were weak. Rather, it was just because Alan was so experienced in fighting that made it look easy. The attributes and skills just given a player adds to their strength, speed, or damage, but the craft was all up to the players.
Splatt!! Splatt!!
[You gained 80 XP and 40 survival points]
The main strategy he prepared was to lure the creature into the room, where multiple barricades had been set up to limit the wolves' movement. This was made to keep the attack in two direct lines, preventing Alan and Nims from being surrounded by the pack.
BAMM!!!!
The loud sound attracted Alan's attention. On the other side, Alan could see that Nim managed to crash the beast with his hammer. The monk had turned into a frenzy to the point where he was able to break a wolf's neck even with his bare hand. Indeed, Nims was a figure Alan didn't want to make an enemy of.
As of this moment, Alan had successfully killed four wolves, and as soon as he did so, he checked on his stats immediately.
[Alan D Angello, Male, 25 years]
[Level 3: 820/1000]
[HP: 129/140]
[Stamina: 78%]
[Survival Points: 460]
[Status: Cold Level 2 - 30% reduces stamina regeneration]
Although he didn't even get hurt for a bit, the main problem of this game was the Stamina. A prolonged battle would kill a strong player, especially with the negative status he had right now.
Alan was gasping for air, and after noticing that none of the wolves were charging at him for the time being, he quickly took [Chocolate] from his bag and consumed it.
[You Received: 10 HP and 35% stamina generation in 15 minutes]
With his cold level 2 status, consuming the chocolate gave him 5% positive stamina regenerations.
With his stamina regained, Alan was ready to engage in a fight again. At this moment, he heard another howling from afar, which meant more wolves had arrived.
"Keep them coming!"

Spellcraft
This is the revised and rewritten version of Spellcraft! Explore the world, meet new and interesting monsters, and kill them for their loot. It was a tale as old as gaming, and it bored Conlan to death. He always had more fun finding little chinks in a game’s systems. He loved figuring out how to exploit those systems and turn them to his advantage. And ever since the release of Lotus, revolutionary hardware that finally delivered the dream of stepping into a fully immersive VR world, he'd had more items on his game breaking agenda than ever before! Lately he’d been using those skills to mess with Horizon Online Entertainment. He figured screwing those bastards over was the least he owed the corporate pricks for killing his sister in one of their Lotus VR modules. They had too much money to face justice from the courts, but he was hellbent on destroying them in the court of public opinion! Only there’s only so much he can do to fight Horizon from inside their games, and a whole new digital battlefield is opening up: Lotus Online. The greatest and most immersive VRMMO ever created, the ultimate expression of the Lotus hardware made by the masters who created that hardware, and Horizon is trying to invade that new world and take it over the same as they’ve taken over everything else! Yeah, not if Conlan and his best gaming buddy Kris have anything to say about it. Because Conlan has a secret weapon. He’s discovered something in Lotus no one else has: Spellcrafting. The chink in Lotus’s armor. He's always loved crafting, and he's discovered a system that might just allow him to take over the game world, kick Horizon out, and hit them right in the bottom line in the real world. Assuming he can survive all the invading Horizon bootlickers trying to kill him long enough to pull off the greatest exploit of his infamous game breaking career! Spellcraft is a 225,000 word GameLit novel that is totally finished. New chapters are released every other day!

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK TWO: One Cold Trail)
After their fateful misadventure in the mountainous Norther Reaches of RUNDAO, a dark new threat to all of RUNDAO has been revealed to the mercenary band of THE CREEPING BAM and their newest member, half-orc bandit SHAYLINE SWIFT-KILL. Returning their hard-won cargo to THE SILVER ORDER in their city stronghold in BAVAT, they find their well-deserved rest will have to rest – half-elf wizard GAEL FOXTAIL’s father has disappeared while performing an investigation in the coastal city of UNTERMER, and it’s up to our motley crew to find him. As a son of Untermer, wily bakaneko thief ART OF SHADOWS is the perfect choice to lead the way, but he has ghosts of his own to face as their investigation brings them into the orbit of the THIEVES GUILD. But there are daker forces at work here, and as they uncover a dark conspiracy and form an uneasy alliance with a trio of tough sellswords with their own stake in the game, led by dwarven warrior THELGAEWYNN FROSTFORGE, the Creeping Bam begin to suspect this may be connected to that unfinished business they started back up north … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
