《VR: Ascension》Chapter 28: Running
Advertisement
“Alright swordsman and anybody who can use sabers here roll for it,” Mango commands.
In a second or two they all materialize a dice in their hand and then they threw it. The dice flew and my time hits four minutes and fifty-four seconds. It means I can do an instant log out. While they all looked at what they rolled I pressed the log out button.
“Well I would love to stay and chat but I got to go so later,” I waved politely while my body dematerialize while my voice echoes out.
I did not have a problem with not being able to log back in for an hour. This was actually a great opportunity for me to take a nap for the rest of the night. I mean there is still 3 hours left in game before day time is over.
While I couldn't log into the game I could still log on to view my character’s stats and storage.

Intellect: 122
Strength: 47(-14)
Endurance: 21(-7)
Stamina: 21(-7)
My stats went up which wasn't bad. Then I looked into my storage and saw three new times that the bear dropped and my jaws literally dropped onto the table. This was because the bear didn't just drop one 1 iron tier item but 2!
One was a blade or better known as a saber.
[Black Iron Saber](Iron Tier)
Attack: +100-125
Strength: +15
Attack Speed: +10%

Then there was the armor.
[Black Bear Robe](Iron Tier)
Defense: +45
Stamina: +5

I wanted to run over to Dong right now and wake him up but I chose not to. Instead I moved on to my next item.
[Black Bear Leg Fur](Bronze Tier)
Defense: +18
Agility: +5
Shiii! I remember thinking to myself at that time. The only thing I could equip was the leg fur. Anything helped anyway.

I decided that I would level for a bit before I enter that Tomb since subconsciously I was afraid. For them to give you a warning that if you fail you will be at level one means something.
Since I couldn't log in for an hour I went down into Dong’s kitchen to grab a couple snacks to eat. Then I took a brief nap before I woke up at around 2am. I snoozed off for a couple extra hours. The good news is that it was night time. I get a 10 percent boost and I have 4 hours in game before the neutral time.
I figured it has been a couple hours in game and nobody would waste their precious time camping me in the beginning of the game. However I was still cautious and decided to ask Dong if he could check that certain location.
Dong said he could not but if I put in login view mode I could look around before I truly log in. This was extremely helpful by the way.
I put my head gear on and I was at the login page. Clicked the view button then input my username and password. It did an eye scan and a brainwave scan. Then I was in but in ghost mode.
I couldn't move from my login location but I can twist and turn to look around.
I looked around and saw that there was about 20 people guarding me. 5 archers, 5 mages, two knights, two assassins, two healers, and four warrior class players.
Wow they really over estimate me on this. Luckily everyone of those players were around level 17 and 18. Their equipments were all bronze and wood rank.
“Hey you think he is going to log back in?” the warrior asks the knight.
“If he does we will kill him. I doubt he will go 24 hours without playing.”
“Its been six hours since he logged off. He probable went to sleep already.”

“What you said is probable true but it doesn't matter we have to watch carefully. The boss have handed down their orders.”
“Ugh my levels gonna be so behind,” warrior complains.
“I don’t like it anymore than you do but he is giving us two gold coins per hour so it's not too bad. Also monsters sometimes wander over giving us some experience points,” the knight said trying to stay positive.
“True, true. How about we have one of the warriors go aggro some monsters over for us to kill. I mean seriously 20 people guarding one player is a bit over reacting don’t you think?”
The knight begins to rub his chin like he was thinking. “Alright you can go aggro some monsters and we will wait here.”
Wow what kind of luck do I have, I couldn't help but laugh. The moment that I log on and they present me with an opportunity to escape?
Then I message to Dong, “Hey Dong is Big Boom still around?”
“Yeah I think so. He said he and his party will farming there. Why?”
“Well I am being camped right now and could use his help to draw some attention away.”
“Alright give me a second I’ll message him.”
“Thanks.”
A couple minutes later. “Yo Bunny you need help?” Big Boom messages over.
“Yeah, I am being camped on right now. I was wonder if you can help me divert some attention away from me.”
“Sure no problem. We can’t help you kill but we can help distract.”
Then I sent him my coordinates and told him to wait for my signal. “Also I told him to get some monster aggro ready just incase.”
Couple minutes later I saw the warrior aggroing some monsters back. There were 2 bears, and 4 goblins. These were actually easy kill.
“Now!” I messaged Big Boom!
Then I saw Big Boom being at level 18 running into the middle of the crowd.
I saw all the player’s attention shifts to Big Boom and I revived right then and there when their attentions split.
The moment I materialized I sprinted like death was upon me. They heard the sound of my footsteps and their attention turns back to me. I instant equipped everything I could. A couple of the archers launches their skills.
Out of the corner’s of my eyes I saw the motions. I shifted my weight to the right and due to the distance I was able to dodge most of the arrows but in those couple of seconds the rest of the players guarding me got into formation.
They all began to activate their skills to attack. Thankfully I got those boots to boost my agility by 5 and defense by 18. Right now my agility hovers around 42.
I did a spin move to dodge two of the swords and a lance that was coming in. The warrior’s sword speed was a lot faster than the lance so I was able to dodge the lance and one sword but the third sword hit my rib cage.
-68
I took the damage and continued to run while another barrage of arrows rains in from the sky.
I got hit twice and managed to dodge the rest.
-32
-17
Another group came up to intercept me. It was two warriors, and a knight.
Right now I am very thankful for Big Boom and his companions for distracting the mages for me.
As I got near them I slam my fist to the ground as a stream of lightning surges out. They were stunned.
I ran passed them and was into the forest home free.
I continued to run but I could see that my stamina was dropping from 100 percent to 85 percent.
I slowed down my pace.
Then I opened the map and ran toward the Tomb of Emperor Azir Ashura.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!
