《love or hate it (optional title)》 v1c1 jump out or leap in Every great person seems to have passed a great ordeal to became what they are now. To that, I will give standing applause! But I have been wondering what methods did they use? Because we always get the clean-cut version of the story and not the complete one. Did they use the bad method and do a bad thing? Or they just simply struggling? Well, maybe the reader is not interested with numbing things like a boring event that happens in daily life or the failure things of trial and skip it to more worth mentioning, blood boiling, and heart thumping moment. In short, people just want the good part. I admit it that I too am the same. Don''t judge me a hypocrite. "Hey, pal. Don''t just spacing out and bite in your turn!" Oh right for the information now I am in a shitty predicament. *bam!* "Damn it! I said not the face!" A punch is landing on my left eye. It is gonna make me have a blue eye for days! "Then just do not be idle fools! It is a fight after all!" In front of me is a tall and robust man. The one that you will meet in the harbour or the exit door of cabaret with you sprawling in the floor. Just what I do wrong to get him as my opponent this time?! Why didn''t I get a scrawny guy as an opponent instead?! That will be awesome. "Really? I mean really? You even not let me get a little monologue to myself?!" Oops. Did I say that? Well looks like I did from his expression looking at me like that. But the spectator is amused at least. Oh, he surprised btw, here a kick to the balls. *crunch!* Uhh, he collapse and the surrounding is becoming silent. did I hear something gets crushed? No? Well, maybe just my imagination. Now if I hear wrong I still have something to do with this gentleman we have over here. I walking to his side and begin kicking his face with my steel boots. "This!" *Whack!" "FOR!" This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. *Whack!" "The!" *Whack!" "FACE!" *CRUNCH!* Phew! That is refreshing! This feeling is like when you step on a bug! Looking at our gentlemen here he seems unwell and maybe cannot get laid ever and if he does get laid I doubt he can leave behind an offspring. Hum, maybe I did the society a great deed? I actually reducing a trash here!! The spectator got out from their surprised slash wincing slash stuppor state and started booing at me. "Thank you, people, for all the support! I don''t know what to do with your booing even just for one day!" Oh silly me. Looks like theirs booing is getting louder with what I said earlier. "Really Venny? It''s the third time you do this thing! Why not fight the normal way and not using these underhanded tactics?!" When I still basking in my glorious moment an unpleasant voice is coming from my back. Turning my body a bald muscular chubby man with tanned skin is standing there. He is using aloha shirt that unbuttoned showing his tattoo at the chest that written money and bulging but rather a muscular stomach. A beige short pants and a sandal to complete it. Btw this monstrosity is the one that runs this betting fight arena and I tell you this, he not the type that using a bouncer. He the type that pummels the troublemaker barehanded. "You the one that said it sam. ''Tactics'' or ''Tictacs'' or whatever. And don''t call me venny! It''s insulting. The important thing is this man is a winner today! Now give me my money!" He makes a gesture to follow him and we sit at a tavern sofa. Some sam employe is taking the sprawled gentlemen to someplace, maybe to the healer, they can restore his tata to normal again, they are that good with the flashy flying light and their choir reject sing or mantra. Spell? What''re the differences? (i play tanker and never get a healer in my party...orz potion is lonely tanker best friend~ (~ToT)~ ) "Whatever you said venny! As long as you make me get rich with the bet I put on you with the odd winning! Btw the odd you get kicked is is bigger like usual, 1:23 this time." "Agrh. Nothing news there." Sam throwing a roll of cash at me. Of course, I failed to catch it. What? "Sigh... I keep wondering why you able fight let alone to win the fight. Like usual 1,000 archiens for participating, 2,300 for winning the fight and 2,700 is cut for healing fee for your opponent." I my hands stopped from counting the money instantly and staring at him. "Oh. Not again." I slam the table and looking at him in the eyes. "Samuel Frederick. Why you cut my prize to pay for the healer bills? It is your fighting casino as long as remember it and not mine. So I think it is your *point* responsibility to pay for the bills *squinted* right?" Sam just raise one of his eyebrows and looking at me amused. Then he standing up towering at me and crossing his arm. "Well, my friendz Ven celtbarty. It iz not ay thatz cruzh a manz mandiblez correctz? And my fightingz caesino iz have fightingz in itz notz killingz. You know thatz you actually brokze the rule aye? So do notz make ruckuz capiche?" *gulp..* He really scary when he uses that weird accent of his. It just felt wrong. And he is even smiling saintly when he said that! "Capiche don sam." Looking at me pushing my self-deeper against the sofa sam just smirking and then sitting again at the sofa "You better go now. I know you want to join the test for Arche. Chopchop does not be a late champion and be safe. I do not want my unregular lost somewhere. Hurhur." "*sigh* there is nothing that you do not know huh. Well, I indeed joining there but I still need to do some preparation first. That why I keep fighting this past month and gather the money to buy necesity." Arche an organization of humanity that consist of remains of government that functioning more like a adventure guild slash mercenary than a goverment unit. Arche will test each participant in a kind of test that has a mortality rate of dying, incapated, permanent injury, traumatic, body member lost and die more than 90%. If you not die then you pass safely or became pirate wannabe and mental hospital loyal patient. But the reward is rewarding indeed. The Arche membership will give you a discount for 20% for everything that sold in every human settlement such as merchant ware or dark market and allowing you to acces status bestowal stone. The stone is the real deal of the reward for every member of Arche because it will give you status assist that function like every normal game status panel but in real life. "You know the reason why I wanted to join right?" Sam looking at me with an understanding looks and nodded slowly. "Don''t we all have the same reason?" "Heh. Of course we all. Humanity is like that after all, we just need something common to pursuit." Sam gaze is getting sharper by the moment and every person at the tavern stilled and bring up their cup and heads up as if they can feel it and then... """"""""""""""""""""The survival of humanity!"""""""""""""""""""" v1c2 kaching slinger Archiens. The money that issued by arche to generalized money exchange rate of humanity. You might be ponder why human, the greedy folk, is agreeing and idling with the decisions of arche? Well they not agreeing at first actually. With the obviously reason like the lost exchange rate will make the superior money will lost it''s capital. Imagine euro pondsterling is the same with eutopia currency. That is same with death sentence for them. The human tycoon all over the world are rejecting the order obviously. Right i write order buddy not request or proposal. Because let be honest here, arche is made by the remnants of world goverment that survive the attack from otherwordly and survive. Ofcourse they have a certain edge and power than every human that time, and now they too have the advantage even with the politic and power strugling there. For a few years human is burdened with civilwars that looked more like chicken slaugther than fighting, not even reach to the point that can be said askirmish. The people from arche side is trampling the tycoon side completely and the tycoon side is so pitifull even the rock is coughing blood. After that the arche sweep all other power house and establish itself as the absolute authority of human race and making a few change here and there to help arche member in armed themself or when they need something.One of that is the discount that is given to every member of arche. I can strechthe story a bit and tell thecomplete and glorious version but i think it will be boring because i already give the summary. Just that will do. The money that i have been saving until nowis268.700 archiens in total. Minus 300 for asking sam to do something for me. The rest?Not enough in my opinion to buy everything that i will need at the test. Like mentioned before. There exist status panel for every human and the only way to assist it to use the status bestowal stone. When the person using the stone, that person can adding the status point as they pleased when they leveled up. Beside leveling up. The status point can be gained by working and training manually like, running and weightlifting. The action is coresponding with each status category. Likewith reaction speed and muscle density. Other way is the easy way and the costly one too. That is to buy the point directly from the dark market. The point is gained from forced extract from other beings and this method is forbiden act that morally wrong. In short it is the primadona on dark market. Even without the status every human have this number amd can add it. Except the onvious likee we can''t see it ourself,we can''t control and apointedthe point ourself. But the obvious problem can be solved with obvious way too and that is to let other peopleto apraisal your self. That where my 300 archiens i give to sam go. My stat is pretty avarage.
Intelligence(F): 115 Mental Capacity(F): 100
CellVitality(F): 100 Reaction speed(F): 120
Muscle Density(F): 109 Immunization Strength(F): 100
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. Now to improve this i need to buy a few statpoint. The exchange rate is 100 archeins for 1 stat. And i intend to spend 100.000 archeins on stat alone. So the math is i get 1000 stat point. At a glance it seems much. But for the next100 point it will change grade from F to E. And from E to D will need the 2 time of F, the requirment is 2 times from the last point, that means 200 point each stat, 400, 800and so on until rank A. Above grade Ahas difference grade system.The hard truth is the average stat is 100 for normal human. The explaination for each stat is this. Intelligence - memory and ability to think Mental capacity - increases power psyche force abilities Cell Vitality - recovery rate Reaction Speed -see and react to objects moving at high speed Muscle Density - strength and toughness Immunization Strength - resistance to virus and other paracitic lifeform The rest of the archiens will go to the equipment and miscellanious things like emergency good and the like that needed for survival. And if i have enough archiens i need to buy eggo. Eggo is an AI egg shaped machine,that created to assist human in anything simply trivial. Like assisting in catalouging the things we have or a functioning likepersonal secretary. It can function like an android too. But what i need is a custon eggo that named edgy that usually used in spionage. You can said it as silent egg. Now where is exactly is this dark market? Well in this area it located at the suburb and not the slum, right in the middle of an apartement in the middle od city. Gotta hide in plain sight eh? These people really takes that advice to the T. Taking a cab or something equivalent of cab that looks like golf caddy that move as fast s lambo, anyway, it''s a cab. I arrive at the apartment in 7 minute or so. "no matter how i see it, this place just doesn''t looks like a place for dark market.." Looking at 12 stories apartment with big ass name perched on front door that read ''moaning mirtle'' and painted neon pink the one that just can''t mix with any other colors, i just can''t help but shake ny head while standing. "This person just have to break my imagination of black market. Inside an apartment? In the middle of city? Questionable name? And top of it all... a glaring pink color." Shaking my head once again with wry smile i went to the doo- *ahem* my step froze from thecoughing noise then i turn around to face my cab driver looking at me with a double barrel shotgun in his hand pointing at me. "you haven''t pay young man." "..o-oh. I haven''t?" After i pay the cab first ofcourse. Fucking cab.
