《AnotherWorld (hiatus)》 AnotherWorld: Prologue Dark was the night when it happened, i was walking down the street a cool summer breeze, i had short cut pants and a tanktop on while holding on to my grocery bag. Everything was fine until i entered a not so well lit street, left from me a truck was coming, i didnt see it at first because there was no lighting, but the person behind the wheel had fallen asleep with his cheeks red, which i presume came from his excesive drinking he had before.Stolen story; please report. Not a second later after noticing this a word esaped my mouth, "Shit..not another isekai story" BOOOOM! The truck crassed into me and everything became dark or so i thought. AnotherWorld : Chapter 1 The darkness that surrounded me faded as I woke up ¡°huh, where am I?¡± I wondered as I looked around. In front of me there was a white mural depicting a story of battle between gods and demons from another world of mine, next to it a woman sat in a chair made of vines and such, she looked beautiful, from the top all the way to the bottom. I walked towards her, before I could say anything she spoke ¡°Welcome chosen one, I am Gaia, goddess of Azaroth a world similar to yours.¡±Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. My brows furrowed I thought to myself *Goddess?* The woman named Gaia rose from her chair and spoke again ¡°Yes I am a goddess, in your world that is. in this world I am known as a enlightened being with the powers that have transcended my species, my world has fallen into chaos and so I and the other gods have decided to call upon brave warriors such as yourself to help us in our predicament, please touch the mural to gain my blessing oh brave warrior from earth¡± She motioned for me to touch the mural with her hand, I had a feeling that I would face certain death if I did not do such as asked for me so I moved to the mural willing to live rather than die. Then I raised my right hand, the mural started glowing with various lights wrapping themselves around my hand then my arm. The woman named Gaia merely smiled and nodded while all of this happened. Slowly the light started to wrap around my whole body and off I went to my happy go not so lucky Isekai adventure AnotherWorld : Chapter 2 When the light disappeared I was once again at a different place, it looked like a town square, around me there were other people who looked as confused as me or even more confused than me. Before I could gather my thoughts in mid air a man appeared in a dark medieval gown which looked like it had worn down a great deal over time, he faced me and the other people around me. ¡°Greetings oh great warriors¡± His voice sounded the exact opposite of what I expected, it sounded like the pleasant sound of birds chirping in the summer eve. ¡°Today you have all been gathered from a multitude of worlds and dimensions to fight for Anotherworld that is not yours, you can all call me Mr.Summoner the fifth¡± The man paused making sure everyone had enough time to take in the info Mr.Summoner had given out to us, he then started explaining that we first had to clear three trials before we could enter Azaroth and that we had specialized thing called a system, it was created by using the combined powers of several gods to help aid our growth, we would also receive new names to start anew. I, like everyone else called out to this system inside my mind, to show me my information *System* Name: Avion Blarefield Level: 1 Job: N/N Stats Strength:3 Agility:4 Intelligence:3 Wisdom:5 Luck:2 The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Blessing of Gaia: 20% increased growth While still checking the system, Mr.Summoner started talking again ¡°Now that you have all checked your Status through the system we will now proceed with the job raffle, this raffle will based on your highest stat and luck give you a suitable job that is fit for you, this does not mean you cannot change your job, it just means you get what would suit you best!¡± This time his voice sounded serious and slightly cold like a teacher informing his students, Mr.Summoner clapped his hands and infront of every participant a window appeared like a gacha menu with a button to press to start it spinning, the jobs were devided into Low-Medium-High. One by one participants from other worlds and dimensions got their jobs some got amazing jobs High jobs such as Draconian Spearman, Firelord and Thunderwalker, some others got Medium jobs such as Skinwearer, Tauntmaker, Puppet Keeper and then there were the low jobs, such as Light Swordsman, Priest Apostle and Flame Archer. I had not yet pressed the button, so I also like all others around me decided to press it and so it went, after several jobs it stopped on the job I would be stuck with for now, which turned out to be *Sage* (Medium) ¡°One who posses great wisdom and guides his people through the way of the world, you are able to learn abilities by observing and training, it not unheard of to meet sages from time to time around Azaroth¡± After I saw my job even though I felt like I should be happy I was disappointed, but it was on the medium side so I left my disappointment and decided to see what Mr.Summoner had to say because it looked like he was about to say something again. ¡°Now that you have all received your jobs you will be sent to trials where you will have to face three trials each, if you look again you will see that there is a quest added to your system which you can accept or reject those who reject will be sent back to their last destination which they have encountered before they arrived here which Is highly most likely death, please have a look by saying or thinking system.¡± *System* Name: Avion Blarefield Level: 1 (beginner) Job: Sage Stats Strength:3 Agility:4 Intelligence:3 Wisdom:5 Luck:2 Blessing of Gaia: 20% increased growth Sage Skill -Sage vision (Active), able to observe and learn the skill and abilities of other creatures.

The idiot did not realize that using flame magic in a medium cave path could lead to him being taken along with the other skeleton warriors, me seeing all of this transpire waited for a couple of seconds before everything cleared, on the ground were several items and such that the skeletons dropped after dying.Reading on Amazon or a pirate site?

I approached closer and the guy who cast the magic was surprisingly still alive, it would be better to say he was almost dead in the state he was ¡°Please save me, help I don¡¯t want to die yet, my adventure hasn¡¯t even begun yet, please save me, please¡± The guy looked at me and pleaded, there was nothing I could do, I told and explained to him that I could either kill him with his sword or let the wandering skeletons take care of him, he opted for the first option, I took his sword and looked at him, the smell wafting off off him was simply nauseating so I wanted to finish this quickly. I took his blade and stood half atop him and jab it into his hart and he died without much trouble *Ding you have killed Participant Hyeon Chae-Won lvl.4 + Gaia blessing 20% increased growth* *Ding you have levelled up* *Ding you have levelled up* ¡°Damn pity he died but oh well, I guess better for me since I levelled up twice¡± I looked around and the body of Hyeon Chae-Won disappeared what stayed behind was his blade in which was in my hand and a small bag, the automatic scan showed me what it was Name: Space bag (20 slots) Description: Able to store up to 20 items, able to stack same items ¡°Neat¡± I said in a voice sounding just about as dead could be and headed to the other items dropped by the skeletons, before I left I thanked the guy for his offering. On the ground were several items boots which automatically fitted to my size, a common dark cloak which made me blend in better with the dark and a book with the spell of haste in it which increased my speed to a certain amount. *Detected possible spell which you can learn Haste, would you like to learn the spell Accept/Reject* I thought accept and it added it to my system, I could also feel certain knowledge being vaguely inside my brain which I hadn¡¯t known before. *System* Name: Avion Blarefield Level: 3 (beginner) Job: Sage Stats, Strength:5 Agility:6 Intelligence:5 Wisdom:7 Luck:3 Blessing of Gaia: 20% increased growth Sage Skill -Sage vision (Active), able to observe and learn the skill and abilities of other creatures -Sage thoughts (Passive), able to formulate new abilities slowly through combining two or more skills which are compatible -Swordsmanship basic (Passive) (1/8): Participant had been able to derive some moves from watching others fight once complete participant will be able to comprehend basic swordsmanship. -Haste (Active): Increase speed to a certain amount, could vary from 10 to 15% Quest -Trails (1/3) Enter Maroth dungeon and Defeat Acolyte Maroth the dark sorcerer*Accepted* *Nice if I continue this way I should be able to complete this mission in no time, for now I should leave this place since it might attract others* Thinking to this point I wore the boots and cloak and left the place with sword by my side just encase I might encounter someone with not so good intention After about a week of doing this type of sneaking around I learned several things, first that I was not alone as there were several other people killing and robbing each other for loot with certain intentions of their own and that had gradually gained the skills basic swordsmanship and sneak which allowed me to sneak and not be detected, the cloak was also a great treasure keeping me safe in the dark, I also learned that it is better to hide instead of trying stand out and get killed in the process, that is what I have learned for now Walking around the cave I was slightly familiar with I encountered a lonesome skeleton, it had a gray cloak with silver flames in its socket Name: Lonely Skeleton Dave, former bladesman Level: 4 Job: Decent Bladesman Stats Strength: 6 Agility: 4 Intelligence: 4 Wisdom: 4 Luck: 0 Description: Dave the lonely skeleton has been ditched by its friends and searches for new friends, Dave is very lonely and accept anyone *Ding Bladesman Dave has invited you to a party Accept/Reject* ¡°What?¡± The skeleton named Dave came closer, standing just five meters away from and looked and me, its silver flames looked very lonely and asked for compassion and understanding, me being the soft-hearted and kind man found it an interesting thought to have a skeleton as my friend so I said fuck it why not. *Accept* *Ding you have joined a party with Dave the Lonely Skeleton, to see party function say or think party* ¡°Party¡± Name: The lonely group Members -Dave (Party Leader) -Avion (Party Member) Loot Division: (100% to party member) AnotherWorld : Chapter 4 After joining Dave Lonely group I found that he could talk in the chat, In short it went something like this [Dave: Hi I¡¯m Dave] [Avion: Hi Dave] [Dave: we are friends <3] [Avion: Yes Dave, we are big friends, so you best protect and take care real good of me, okay?] [Dave: Yes friends ??] [Avion: How did you use emoji?] And that is how Dave and me started adventuring, as we walked Dave explained his situation. At the cost of saving his daughter from illness he willingly gave his body to the acolyte Maroth the dark sorcerer, who in turn kept his promise to save his daughter from her illness, but in a slide handed manner, Maroth murdered the whole village Dave was in, including Dave daughter. This freed her from the chains of mortality, Maroth explained it in such manner to Dave, Dave silver coloured light in his eyes dimmed slightly, Dave wanted to rip apart Maroth because of this but could not because the magical contract stated that he may not harm him if anything went wrong, since there was a real possibility the ¡°Curing process¡± could go wrong. While walking together Avion looked over his system once again, *System* Name: Avion Blarefield Level: 6 (beginner) Job: Sage Stats Strength:7 Agility:8 Intelligence:7 Wisdom:9 Luck:4 Blessing of Gaia: 20% increased growth Sage Skill -Sage vision (Active): able to observe and learn the skill and abilities of other creatures -Sage thoughts (Passive): able to formulate new abilities slowly through combining two or more skills which are compatible -Way of the sage (Active): Able to teach someone inferior to you in terms of all stats something from your skill list, Job skills not included. -Swordsmanship basic : Participant is able to use basic swordsmanship as extension of himself -Sneak (Passive): Able to sneak around the dark with light footsteps -Haste (Active): Increase speed to a certain amount, could vary from 10 to 15% Quest -Trails (1/3) Enter Maroth dungeon and Defeat Acolyte Maroth the dark sorcerer*Accepted* Looking at his stats Avion had a idea,This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. [Avion: Dave, is it possible to show me your whole stats and skill through the party function] Dave nodded *Ding, would you like to inspect Dave the not so lonely skeleton? Accept/Reject¡± ¡°Accept¡± Name: Dave the not so lonely skeleton, former bladesman Level: 4 Job: Decent Bladesman Stats Strength: 6 Agility: 4 Intelligence: 4 Wisdom: 4 Luck: 0 Skill -Medium Bladesmanship (Passive): Former bladesmanship has honed this blade user, now he is but a small thing of the past, able to use the blade to a medium degree. -Tempest Blade (Active): Able to consecutively attack with his blade making it feel like a tempest -Mirror (Passive): able to copy a style to certain degree. Description: Dave the not so lonely skeleton has a friend! [Avion: Dave do you want to learn sneak, basic swordsmanship and haste?] While asking this Avion had air of generosity to him, in his thoughts he was nothing but someone who thought about surviving himself *If he learns haste and sneak and basic swordsmanship, he will get stronger just like me and if I learn his skills then I too will get stronger!* [Dave: Yes, I want!] [Avion: okay, but you have to show me your skills first okay?] Dave nodded and proceeded to show Avion his skills for the rest of the day, while being busy the both of them sometimes encountered monster and other times participants who avoided them like the plague and so a rumour spread among the participants, that a skeleton slave and his master were traveling around the dungeon, they were the vile beast of the dungeon of Maroth who killed and brought destruction as they want. After three days Avion checked his skills again, medium bladesmandship and tempest blade were added this time. Avion then thought Dave his skills and together they grew stronger and faster, after just week together Avion finally hit level 10 after that shortly after Dave also hit level 10. When Avion and Dave had been traveling for another two days they encountered 5 people waiting them up they were mainly level 7 and 8 but their jobs showed that they were a force to be wrecked with, in front stood a young man with blond hair which was put back sleekly, he had decent equipment on him and looked to be the leader of the bunch. Through the system scan Avion could see their names and job Name: Silvia Chester Job: Light archer - Name: Wario Valchini job: Defender - Name: Eliot Ray Job: Elemental Priest - Name: Sarya von Ehrenman Job: Mage And lastly the leader of the bunch Name: Varus Maro Job: Magic Manipulator Eventhough the group stood in front of me, the ones behind the boss of the crew all looked like they were being manipulated by him. There was only one thing running through my mind, *Shit, I need to get out of here* [Avion: we need to get out of here!] [Dave: Right!] And so I did what any sane man would do, I will let him try to speak and have Dave attack, while I do a tactical retreat He opened his mouth and said ¡°I had bee-¡° [Avion: Now Dave!] BOOOOOOOOOOM [Avion: TACTICAL RETREAT, DAVE RUN!!!!!!!] And so together we ran away, or should I say I escaped and Dave was close behind me The group that got attacked by Dave was shocked and prepared with a battle ready stance all of them looked exquisitely heroic, but by the time the dust cleared out they were gone No Avion or Dave in sight...they looked like fools. This whole fiasco was a new thing for the both Avion and Dave, they swore to take revenge if they ever catch them alone. AnotherWorld : Chapter 5 Taking a look behind me from running i saw Dave. [Avion: Dave good job on plan C, code name Tactical Retreat] Dave nodded, his flames expanding and compressing as if he was out of breath. [Avion: Dave, do you breath and if so how do you breath?] Dave tilted his head a little, looking as if i said something silly, he pointed towards his eyes, [Dave: Life flame, it needs air] I nodded to myself having a, oh so thats how it works face, but after the smal distraction i thought back to how that gang of 5 people were waiting on me and Dave meaning that they wanted to kill us. Cold anger surfaced within me, thinking to myself, If that is how you want to play it then so be it, lets play this game I fell into deep thought afterwards i gave Dave a look and asked him if he wanted to go look for any other monster who could possibly join our group, Dave agreed thinking it would be fun to have more friends on the team. And so another week passes within that time we encountered the group again, we fought a bit after which Dave raised his cloak to block their view and i threw a dagger and we did a tactical retreat again. In between the week we also found two more compatriots willing to join our cause of joint friendship to prevail over the evil forces of this world. They were respectively, Name: Germo the pervy mustache slime Job: N/N Level: 7 Strenght: 3 Agility: 12 Intelligence: 1 Wisdom: 5 Skill -Glide: uses slime to glide fast on the floor increases speed by 20%, slows reaction time by 10% -Choke: able to choke enemy to death by using its slimy body to enter the orifices, painful death guaranteed. -Puddle: able to disperse its body a meter around itself. Description: A wise but slow to understand slime with a fabulous mustache named Germo. And Name: Kajiel the shady cat merchant Job: Shady Merchant Level: 8The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Strength: 4 Agility: 4 Intelligence: 8 Wisdom: 8 Luck: 8 Skill -Merchant piety(Active) : if used, enemy and ally alike will hesitate to do anything if level is lower the effect is greater , if the level is higher the effect will be reduced to a certain extent. -Tortures sadism (Active) : Able to injure enemy and gain health back slowly through stimulated senses. -Psuedo Hero Call (Passive): Able to encourages others on the outlook while being scared as shit on the inside. -Exchange: Able to swap items of same value with others, consent not needed. Description: A cat who has learned the way of a good hustle. Together the lonely group now looked less lonely and more pathetic than ever, having a skeleton with gray cloak walking infront as vanguard, shady cat strategist in the middle, a slime with a fabulous mustache on the side and a sagely looking young man at the back. Together they marched forward encountering evil after evil (monsters) They killed and plundered groups of singel monsters making themself quite loaded on gear and xp, by the time Avion and Dave reached level 16 and 15, Germo and Kajiel had finally reached level 12 making their stats less pathetic compared to the other two, like this they once again encountered Varus and his Gang of Manipulated minions. But this time Varus and his crew were the ones being stalked from the shadow, being inspected and looked upon like pray. When the lonely group attacked varus gang of misfits, Varus was suprised or so he acted in synchronization they jumped to the side making the lonely group enter into a whole then a magic shield and Varus laughed his as of telling them how he made them enter a hidden dungeon with a boss monster in it, to say it softly a lot of curses were thrown at the mentally unstable Varus, but he dint care and told them to have fun and walked away and so the crew stood there in complete silence... [Avion: shit, Kajiel you have any ideas?] Kajiel hit the shield a couple of times then licked it, thought and said [Kajiel: the only way to get out is by making someone of atleast level 20 perform magic break, i hate to be the bearer of bad news but we need to do this :/ ] Avion first looked at Kajiel with a understanding gaze and looked at the two others, Dave could not care less but stil gave a simple nod and Germo just jumped up and down making his bouncing mustache look quite dashing. Avion closed his eyes like a wise sage about to say something [Avion: All right, like all cliques i should probably say some things, its gonna be dangerous its gonna be epic, this is a once in a life time adventure together, he he lets go gang!] By the time he opened his eyes he could see Kajiel and Germo already walking and Dave stood halfway patiently waiting on Avion. "Great..." Avion and Dave caught up with the other two, together they marched on after some time they finally arrived at dome shaped cave, infront of them stood a 3 meter lizardman with slighty bulky body and sharp glare, at the front was Kajiel with his arms crossed looking unperturbed by the cold gaze of the lizardman, Kajiel gaze was also extremely calm and sharp as if could cut someone in two just by the glance of it, trully a shocking scene to behold, Cat and Lizardman what a glorious happening. At the back the three others looked on thinking how epic, but if they knew Kajiel thought right now they would not be looking on in admiration but shiting their pants from the laughter they would be having. Avion looked at the lizardman, its stats showed up to him Name: Calsion the Colosseum lizardman champion Job: Colosseum Champion, Boss monster of Maroth Dungeon Level 18 Stats Strenght:12 Agility:18 Intelligence:8 Wisdom:8 Luck: 0 Description: Captured and enslaved Calsion people were taken to be used, Calsion has been traded several times in his life time and eventually ended up in the Dungeon of Maroth as hidden boss. And so the battle started,Kajiel used merchant piety distracting the lizardman while Dave used Tempest Blade as usual, the lizardman has swift reflexes but even it did not expect to be hit with a burst of a combo, the blade swiftness coming at was already allot but coupled with the distracting gaze of the merchant cat it was deadly to say the least. The lizardman deflected the blade at the last second, while it was busy deflecting Dave blade, the perverted mustache slime Germo used this oppertunity to sneak up on it from behind and use his skill Puddle, Kajiel also dint sit still after shitting himself. Kajiel used Dave as jumping board and activated his skill tortures Sadism, this all happened within a short time, the lizardman was suprised and took a step back to collect himself, but when he did he stepped into his dooming end known as Germo Puddle of doom tactic. The lizardman known as Calsion slipped backwards while being able to just barely deflect Kajiel Claws but when he did, he had the shit luck of losing the grip on his blade, the blade plunged into the left side of the lizardman chest making him go into cardiac arrest. In the groupchat a message appeared for the first time in a while, [System: Ding, Kajiel the shady cat merchant activated luck mechanism] For the first time in a while everyone was silent just looking at the monster known as Kajiel and his luck of being able to make the opponent go into Cardiac Arrest. Avion also made a mental note (Don''t mess with Kajiel) [Avion: Germo use Choke!] Germo did as told and chocked him to death, afterwards we sat on the ground taking a breathing, eventhough it happened so fast it still drained all of us mentally and fiscally. After having gained enough rest we all noticed something in the party chat, [System: Ding, you have all defeated a high level enemy together, Dave party leader please choose reward pack one, two or three] We talked about it for a bit and decided on pack two which three level up per party member it also has gear, skill book and Job book of lizardman which required 10 agility The distribution was as follows, the gear aka the shoes, chesplate, helmet and shoulder pads, Kajiel and Dave would share, the skill named iron fist i got, to teach it to everyone later on and Germo got the Job book which would allow him to finally gain a job. After doing all that we decided to camp the night in the cave to gain some rest and you never know if the enemy would be outside, so staying in was the safest option for now. AnotherWorld : Chapter 6 When we woke up we found that our buddy Germo had evolved into a Lizard Slime or should I say Slime lizard, the one thing that did not separate this form from his prior one is the fact that he still retained his overpowering mustache shining with even more gust than before.4 We all stood around Germo inspecting him, he had both the aspect of a slime and a lizardman, he had scales covering several sides of his body which he could harden or soften at his whim, he had ocean blue colored eyes having molded out of pure something resembling Safire, he looked all in all odd to say the least but Germo is still Germo so we dint pay it anymore heed than we should have. After the whole charade ended we marched towards the entrance way cautiously eventually reaching where we entered, we expected to see the group of no good bunch, but they left as we heard later on from some people we encountered, they explained that Varus and his gang had completed their first trial, since not everyone gained the same trial as one another. I looked at Dave asking him what to do next since he is the party leader, Dave decided to enter deeper into the cave, since were only half way into the cave being half way to Maroth dungeon boss room. And so we marched deeper and deeper into the dungeon having only taken our lack of manners and confidence with us, while on our travels we encountered other participant who had entered before me, they looked broken and like shells of their former selves, they stopped because of old age, fear or just plain insanity having been locked up in here because they failed the trial the gods set up for them or simply gave up on the trials hanging around here and there, every time tried to build something it got destroyed when the new participants arrived and every five years there would be a mass wipe out returning every participant who has remained for five years to their last point, which would result in death most of the time and in some rare cases it dint, but no one knows everything about each other past.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Having heard to this point the team mood was okay to say the best, they listened some more and found out that to enter Maroth boss room a minimum level of twenty was needed and a maximum level of thirty five was allowed, they also found out that those with higher levels suffered from a penalty the higher their levels were. Avion then asked out why not just use numbers to overwhelm Maroth, the elder participants snickered at him for having such obvious thoughts to them, they replied that the maximum amount of people allowed into the room was a team of six, they also needed to be party members, this was to weed out those relying on numbers to overwhelm others, overwhelming others with numbers is fine, but this would not work if the quality of the opponent is high, in the world of magic others will often times encounter a situation where only those of the same league were allowed to enter the battle field. The group gathered together in a circle to discuss this matter in detail, the first one to suggest something was Kajiel, Kajiel suggested they enter the dungeon at level twenty five giving them no apparent advantage or disadvantage over Maroth, this would allow them to exploit and express their raw talent to survive, Dave said that the higher the number, the more damage they deal so damage is good, Germo suggested assassination which was quickly rejected because there was no way to assassinate someone within a small environment, eventually the gang looked at me for guidance since I had the sage class they thought I might be wise, I suggested we take on Kajiel since it suited much more to our team, we could try to incorporate some aspect of Germo quick strike tactics and have Dave level up slightly more for that extra push of umpf needed for our team, me, I would keep tabs on everyone while also aiding them with learning new skills, while also learning new skills myself, I decided to focus on healing since needed it in the upcoming battle. With this we set out to accomplish our goal to beat the shit out of Maroth¡­eventually.
