《Heroes of the Collapsing World》Chapter 8: Short trip
Advertisement
Author note: Aaaaaaahhh, failed to continue my once a day update. Got hooked into reading a Ln and unable to stop.
Just as planned they started moving toward the direction the Orc came from.
Since they came to this world around three hours had passed. Most of them already put aside their horrible experience and focus on finding a human settlement.
Everything was going just fine. The fighting group did their job greater than Yuu had expected.
At first they hesitated from fighting the monster. Fortunately that time the monster wasn’t Orc but a Goblin. Compare to Orc, Goblin was smaller and weaker but, it was faster.
It held a small club that and hit Huke few times but, after a while they got used to it the Goblin was beaten to dead by six of them.
From that battle they learnt that Huke wasn’t suited for this and handed down the stick to someone else. Unexpectedly it was handed down to a girl by Huke’s recommendation.
“Southern cross- style, 1st strike technique, Flash!”
A high speed strike was delivered and hit it target. That strike made a small lag to one’s eyes if not used to it. Making it looked like it disappeared momentary and reappeared once it hit the target.
The Goblin who was the target wasn’t able to reach in time and was hit right in the head, making it fly two meter to the right.
“Fuuuu…”
The one who delivered that high speed strike let out a breath and put the stick near her waist like a samurai who sheathed their sword.
“Good job, Selia. Do you think it can handle it?”(Yuu)
Selia turned around toward Yuu who asked her and answered.
“No problem. If I use it correctly it should handle around twenty strikes.”(Selia)
What were they talking about? It was about the durability of the stick.
Selia learned sword technique at her house since she was small. Present, she had quit but with her current level she should still be able to win a prefecture tournament.
Huke recommended her because he knew about it. However the person herself worried about the weapon condition.
Just like the previous strike, Southern cross- style was strong and fast. Therefore it needed the suitable weapon for it. According to her the stick will only hold for twenty strikes until it breaks.
“That’s good then. We’re counting on you from now on.”(Yuu)
Yuu lightly hit her shoulder and collected the small club from the Goblin. The club was once again given to someone else. Adding Mike and Boby their man power was eight people.

Although Selia had her dissatisfaction she held it for now. With this a temporary team they proceed once again.
“Pfew pfew, Selia, so cool!”(Huke)
Hearing that idiotic voice, Selia was pissed.
“Shut up before I split your head with this stick!”(Selia)
“……Yes”(Huke)
“Good grief…”(Selia)
Selia let out a sigh.
Huke being an idiot wasn’t anything new to her. The reason for her irritation was the other reason.
She had quit. From that fact people must have guessed that something must have happen. Especially for people on her level, if she continues she could win on national level.
The reason behind it was her reason why she was irritated.
*Ping*
Incidentally when she finished the Goblin she heard a notification sound.
“Status.”
She immediately said that and a blue panel appeared in front of her.

Her title changed and she got a skill. Unlike Feral’s status, her status had a +10 instead of becoming 110.
It was the effect of her status. Feral’s rabbit foot was a passive skill while Selia wasn’t. If she didn’t hold a weapon her status will drop again to 100.
“Yuu, may I have a moment.”(Selia)
She immediately reported that to Yuu.
“I see. So your status changed. Everyone, please check your status and report if there any change!”(Yuu)
The result was including the Feral, Selia and Mary; there were six people whose status changed.

They were shocked by Benedictus useless skill. However they were shocker about Mary’s white mage. Being able to heal a wound is the most useful skill they can get right now.
“What did you do to get that title?”(Yuu)
“I- I don’t know.”(Mary)
“Please try to remember it. This will greatly affect our situation!”(Yuu)
“I- I will try!”(Mary)
However to Mary who was weak to pressure. Thing such as expectation will only make her agitated and making her unable to think straight.
“S- Sorry, nothing comes to mind.”(Mary)
“At least tell us what you did since come too this world. It shouldn’t be hard right?”(Yuu)
“E, U- Urm…”(Mary)
“Don’t worry, just calm down. Relax yourself, take a deep breath…”(Yuu)
Yuu was accustomed because of his experience when he was student council president. He easily perceived her and handle her.
After followed his direction Mary finally became calm and slowly recited what she did.
“Ah… After I asked Feral’s condition I think I heard a notification sound. I thought that was from my phone’s. My phone also gone before I know it…”(Mary)
The news about her disappeared phone wasn’t new. For modern kids it was natural to check their phone all the time.
So when they were transferred into this world most of them already noticed about this. Only people like Mary who doesn’t use phone much who didn’t realize about this.
Because phone was useless at this situation so they didn’t make a big deal out of it.
“Hey, hey, if you can heal wound, try healing me!”(Huke)
Huke suddenly but in between them and offered his hand that was slightly injured form the Goblin. Rather than injury it was more like a swelling.
“I- I will try!”(Mary)
Although she was calm her way of speaking didn’t change. It already became her habit.
“H- Heal!”(Mary)
Together with her word light appeared around her hands. The moment It made contact with injury the pain slowly disappearing so does he swelling.
“Amazing…”(Julie)
Julie who was next to her was unable to hide her astonishment.
“Uooo, it healed! It really healed!!!”(Huke)
Huke shout out like a religious fanatic who saw a miracle.
“While you at it can you please also heal this bump that Selia made?”(Huke)
Nearby you can see irritated Selia with a face that hope for Huke’s misfortune.
“O- Okay. Heal!”(Mary)
Once again light surround her hand and heal Huke’s bump.
“Alright! Now I’m fully healed! With this I will always in my best condition!”
Huke was good condition and start to laugh out loud because of the imaginary invincibility. On the other hand Mary started unsteadily swayed left and right.
“Are you alright?”(Yuu)
Just when she was about to fell, Yuu supported her.
Mary, who wasn’t accustomed to male, blushed because of the physical contact.
“I- I- I’m fine!!”(Mary)
Mary immediately got up and took few steps away from him. However her face still red.
“T- Thanks…”(Mary)
Mary said her gratitude and then she saw her status that she hadn’t close yet.

Her mentality had decreased by 20. She immediately realized the cause and came back to Yuu to report about this.
“It decreases? Not increases? That’s strange…”(Yuu)
The cause was clear however why it decreased the mentality bar was mystery.
By game knowledge status only decreases when player were attacked, used skill, or got debuffed. The closest case was used a skill however it usually decreases MP not the status itself.
By using common sense that this wasn’t a game and the fact that there wasn’t any HP or MP bar. Yuu draw out the conclusion that Mentality is MP.
“Then what about the number…”(Yuu)
Yuu began to mumble to himself. The number didn’t represent the actual strength, and all of them start with the same number.
“U- Urm… Y- Yuu.”(Mary)
“What is it?”(Yuu)
“T- The number slowly goes up again.”(Mary)
When Yuu was bust thinking Mary still hadn’t close her status panel and she saw the mentality increase a little by little.
Once every few second it will increase by one until it went back to 100 as if it go back to its previous condition.
“Wait, don’t tell me! It’s not in numeral but in percent?!”(Yuu)
Yuu realized that the number displayed there wasn’t in numeral but in percent. That also explained the different between the displayed number and real strength.
The status panel was something that displayed the user body state. Yuu concluded.
“Thanks Mary. With this we know more about this world.”(Yuu)
“I- It’s nothing.”(Mary)
Mary shyly replied.
Immediately Yuu shared this information with the other and then he found out that Feral already knew about this.
He wished that he shared about that from the start.
“GROOOOO!!!”
This was the second time they encountered Orc. Just like before it suddenly appeared and headed their way. However this time they were prepared for this.
“Everyone, get into position!”(Yuu)
They all gathered behind Hyodou and the fighter beside him. Although they still feel anxiety they weren’t afraid anymore. From the previous two battles with the Goblins they already got used to it.
With Hyodou as the tanker and Selia as the main attacker, they began the battle.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

The Discarded
The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again. But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close? The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace. Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit? Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra.
