《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 2 - Boss Fight (RW)
Advertisement
I look out of the window and see a huge dragon, I then proceed to turn around and run, in this academy there has to be something that can kill a dragon right? the library! I can just steel a book and use a skill on the dragon. I hope it works out like that... I notice the dragon that is about 10 stories tall and 40 stories long starts clawing its way through the building, I just keep running.
"I am not tasty, I taste like pixels and lag, it is not a good feeling in your stomach" I shouted at it as I continued running down the stairs to the first floor with a door to the library on it, I reach the door I am after and look, the dragon is right behind me. do I go to the Dragon Slayer section? or the Blue Mist section?
"GROOOOOOO" The dragon answered for me by making me run to the dragon slayer section, it was not closer but the Blue Mist section was recently renovated by a dragons claw. making me run over and pick up a book.
[Dragon Slayer Aura: You are now resistant to a dragons presence and you can weaken a dragon by 20% of its stats and your own stats increase by 5%]
that is helpful, I picked up another 2 books before I found something more useful.
[Dragon Claw: for 100 MP and 100 HP you can deal 1000 points of damage through a Dragon Claw. deals 2000 points of damage on a dragon]
[Dragon Leg: Using the power of a dragon you can move 50% faster and deal 50% more damage with a kick, deals 100% more damage on a dragon]
oh lucky me, I turn around to see big and ugly in the flesh, he no longer feels so terrifying, maybe it was that presence the Aura told me about, I am now wrapped in a dark green flaming aura, it is incredible, I look at the dragon and it is still a huge opponent but I don't fear it as much. I charge at it and jumping over its head that was about to incinerate me I use Dragon Claw on its back from head to tail removing 10% of its health. it then claws its way out the library and starts flying away, to late for that now, I use Dragon Claw to hang on and start kicking it with Dragon Leg. slowly its health goes down until it is near 0. I then Jump into the air and use Dragon Claw one more time slicing the big blue dragon in half. I then realise how high I am in the air, I am not surviving that fall. I guess this is the end? no,

[Boss fight has ended: Zone Transfer has been cancelled]
I then start to fall to the ground, hey my stamina bar is getting low. I guess I pushed it to hard for today. I start to fall unconscious but I feel a warm aura around me, it feels familiar however I am to tired to guess at the moment, I did not expect a boss fight on my first day. even for the Three Fists Academy that was to much...
[Saving..... the game has been saved]
oh well, I am back to the void of sleep. only one thing to do now since I cant dream...
Row row row your boat gently down the.....
"John" Said a familiar voice.
"Michael" I said getting up to see my brother. my brother is an 8 Bit Gamer. kind of like me, but retro games. don't be fooled, he has a lot of good abilities. "What did I do to deserve this" I said to him and he thought.
"I don't think anyone could predict a dragon attack" Michael said but I shook my head.
"Not that" I said while looking at my blue box.
[Detect Bloodlust had reached level 99, a new skill set has been added]
[Bloodlust Aura: Affects Unknown]
[Bloodlust Projection: Affects Unknown]
[Bloodlust Sight: You can now see the shape of bloodlust and its origin without needing to look at it]
"That" I said while handing him the Blue Boxes, he started to laugh at me. "What is it?" I asked.
"You got these because you are a forgetful idiot" Michael said to me before heading off, I noticed I was in a hospital bed in the medical office. I also noticed Kate was sitting on a chair next to me, head on the mattress sleeping. did she fall asleep after giving me so much bloodlust, or was she just tired? I shake her awake and she looks around, it is only 5 o'clock so she must have been tired from training I guess,

"John?" Kate says in a sleepy voice before jumping up out the seat. "I.. I was just tired from training" Kate said woth a panicked expression before calming down realising I did not care and she sat down. "So John... Unlucky fighting a dragon on your first day... how did you win?" Kate asked with curiosity.
"I used Dragon Slayer Abilities" I said simply and Kate looked confused before she went shocked.
"I can't believe you" Kate said seriously and I just looked around before I got an idea.
[Aura: Dragon Slayer]
I then looked at my own aura and it looked awesome, but anyway Kate looked at it for a moment. "You... how?" Kate asked full of curiosity,
"I am a MMO Gamer" I said with pride and she looked even more confused.
"A what?" Kate asked admittedly not knowing what one was.
"Have you ever played a game?" I asked and she shook her head... "This will take a while" I said with my palm planted firmly on my face
