But we can't leave the situation like this. This is a stupid enemy, but what will he be like in a year? What if, now that I'm leaving Crackhead behind me, one day I get hit hard in the back?Okay me. The immortality of the Hero saves. Even Auto-da-Fé or Feeding is not that scary, to be honest. But if I love Alliel... If she's still alive. Can I afford to leave behind someone who can get to her?How will I feel if, in the future, a loved one dies from my enemy?Looking at the bearded man, he involuntarily clenched his fist. So far, I'm not strong enough. Even if I return to Artiloche, I will still be a weakling. Jerome was killed in my presence, although for some reason he began to seem invulnerable. Confident, radiant, experienced and smart. He was gutted on a city street. Gutted because of me. Because I didn't resolve the issue with Rusk.Having made friends, I lost the right to leave enemies. The system came up with a world where everyone can take revenge on each other without restr

It was a lizard. Huge, but surprisingly ordinary. Four clawed feet, small scales, eyes merging with the dark green color of the body. Horny growths here and there, thorns...The creature stood in the middle of the clearing, clenching Rybka in its teeth. He yelled, brandishing his sword. Too long to stab a predator. Neri rushed around, howling, but not daring to attack.- Neri, go ahead! I barked, throwing myself into a series of jumps.Get there as soon as possible. While Rybka is still alive.Swinging, he struck. The ax blade entered the lizard's body. But not deep. This is not enough. The predator twitched with a jerk, turning around and already tearing the air with its clawed paw. The ax came out of the wound with ease, and I tried to jump back to break the distance. But the pain in my leg told me: slowly."Bitch," he hissed, not allowing himself to be distracted by the wound.Still standing - that means the limb is in place.- Fish, don't move! - shouted. - So only worse!- Get of

- Who said I got it? Since my childhood, I was given to the temple of Liressa. All treatment is her energy. From my side, only devotion to the goddess.- That's how ... - rubbing his chin, he frowned. - But how then to learn magic?- Through books.- And that's it?- No, not all, - Miriya smiled. - It's quite difficult. Spellbooks are dangerous. Not all Heroes decide to take on this.- What is the danger?- I think you'll see for yourself. It's pointless to describe in words.The sorceress finished her tea in a couple of large sips, which made me wince a little: it was probably still hot. She pushed the glass away, rustling the earthen bottom against the wooden table. Got up.- So. So, you completed the quest, and I can take all the mushrooms for myself?“Uh... Yes,” he shrugged uncertainly and looked at Miriya as she left the room.I took the glass. He took a sip of the strong-tasting drink. He winced as he felt the sediment on his tongue. Took another sip. In general, not bad. He ex

"You're right in front of him." Shaking his head imperturbably, the man narrowed his eyes in disbelief. - What do you think otherwise?- No, it's just ... I can hardly understand what is happening ...- Ah! It will pass with time, - Stribog spun in place and walked away from me. - You know, the best quality of the wind: it never surprises. Whatever happens, it either blows or it doesn't. And so he goes through life, bringing with him what he must bring. And taking what needs to be taken. That is my essence. This water is always adjusting, taking on a different form, trying to follow the path of least resistance ... But I - no. No one will say that old Stribog is very bothered. By no means! I just go where I want and do what I want.- Pretty... good philosophy? I muttered doubtfully.- A little. A little bit bad, a bit good, a bit crazy... By the way, speaking of madness. Do you know what it is?- Mm... I don't think so.- I'll tell you. I'll share my wisdom, since we're here anyway. M

Spinning around, feeling a tearing pain in his leg, he hit with an ax backhand. The raised sword was repulsed with a furious ringing. Overcoming the inertia of the weapon, he strained his left hand for a new blow. The guy in front of me was confused. A whistle was heard. Flash of chest pain.The extreme degree of activation of the Berserk.The blade went over his shoulder. Stuck in an unprotected body. Pulling up the stuck axe, he wrapped his stump around the screaming moron. Another arrow sang a song, but I felt no pain. Pushing the half-dead brat away from him, he released the weapon with a champ.Another soldier has already pulled himself together. His village hatchet looked ridiculously ridiculous in strong and large hands. Slipping to the side, he avoided the blow. The blade whistled through his temple, piercing his skull. Another one is ready.- What?! - barked, turning to the rest. - Are we fighting, bastards?!They have already risen from the ground. The blockhead was holding

It just lets you move in only one direction. You can't be a well-rounded prodigy, mate, you have to focus on something. You now have well-developed Fisticuffs and Butcher. And most likely, the class will be formed on the basis of these skills. Of course, the System will take into account all your activities as a whole. But don't expect too much.- And what then with what I have already pumped?- Most will freeze and disappear from the list of skills. You won't lose what you've developed, but you won't be able to succeed on your own either." Jerome put the Diary back in his pocket. - Nobody says that you will become a helpless little dwarf who only knows how to fight with his fists and carve meat. Just getting new skills and developing them will become a paid pleasure. And you will need to find someone who can teach. Spend a lot of time studying and practicing.So you didn't develop yourself?- Of course not. When I got the Musketeer class, there were only three skills left: Speed Ch

- Water depends on emotions. Many spells won't work if you don't control yourself.“Tell me more,” I asked. - Don't poke around bit by bit.- Oh ... - the elf with a heavy sigh hugged me, lightly hitting her forehead on the forehead. - Young and inexperienced. I do not like to chew such details.- Okay, what's wrong with that?My hand went to the girl's waist, and I pulled her to me.- Tell me, Alliel. This is all important to know.- Well, okay, - the elf laid her head on my shoulder. - In short, I will say that each creature has a predisposition to a certain element. It depends on the character, and on the mindset, and even on the physique often. Tehrae have been studying various mages for a long time. As a result, we came to the conclusion that each of us has a certain element or several. And success in studying the elements is based precisely on this. on physiological laws.Are there magicians among the elves?- There is. We usually study water and earth spells. Someone more, some

The square gradually filled with people. I sat on the edge of a well dug conveniently in the center, looking boredly at the roaming people. I reflected only briefly on the peculiarities of their simple clothes, daily behavior and manner of bargaining for goods. Yesterday's dialogue left an unpleasant aftertaste inside. And no, it's not that Alliel is unpleasant. Quite the opposite. But I could do nothing with the involuntary outbursts of emotion, which I myself tried to suppress so as not to inadvertently exacerbate anything.And yet, she is right. I can't help but consider myself human. Even if someone gave me sharp ears and big eyes, I would still habitually classify myself as a tho'elle. But this did not mean that I was unable to understand Alliel's feelings. The issue is acceptance, perhaps?Can I afford to look at people with disdain? See them as only enemies? I said I'm ready to drown in hatred for thoe if need be. Yes, there, I’m already kind of drowning. If you think about it,

The blacksmith's apprentice looks on with interest. In a small town, such things are rare, so the merchant immediately called the artisan, and he grabbed the apprentice ... And so the four of them stood, crowding around the dagger of the Angel.- The metal is good, - the blacksmith said quietly, pointing with his finger; the apprentice listened attentively. - They call it the steel of the titans. Almost impossible to break, only melted at a very high temperature ...- Are you squeezing? - asked the merchant, looking at the craftsman.“Of course,” the broad-shouldered man replied. - I'll have to kill for this time, but I can.- Why do you want to sell it? - the apprentice asked me.And for this question he was rewarded with looks full of horror. The blacksmith had already raised his hand to slap the back of the head, and the young man dodged aside.“I don’t need expensive things,” he answered, moving the stiletto closer to the merchant. - Noticeable - even more so. I'm just a hunter.-

Touching the crossbow, he took it in his hands, tried to pull the bowstring. She cut into her fingers. She walked reluctantly, bending her wooden shoulders.- Come on ... - I asked, pushing it to the limit with the last of my strength. - Ready.It will be inconvenient to use a crossbow at such a pace. It is worth keeping it charged and at hand.Bolt lay in his hand. Turning the tip in the dim light of the stove, he put it into the socket. Pointed at the wall. Narrowed his eyes. Who knows. Will have to check how it shoots. A crossbow is a powerful thing, but very inconvenient for a traveler. Low rate of fire, and most of the creatures are mobile and poorly protected. Except that…I was reminded of Heroes dressed in armor. Which neither sword nor arrow usually pierce. I smiled wickedly. Get a bolt in the chest, which you can also pull out the hell, because it's stuck in steel. Why not joy for a lousy little man? From this point of view, the crossbow can be left.- Well, let's be friends

They were waiting for me in the dark. The purest darkness swirled with the vapors of the night, and they were pierced by the fire of the fire. Empty mouths of streets going nowhere. Too hard ground, as for the feet of such a lost one. But they waited, leaving a secret among the corpses.- You still killed Beam.I stopped. Pain pounded through my nerves, fatigue huddled in every muscle, lost thoughts were replaced by clear realizations.- Killed - impassively answered, not even trying to see the invisible.- Do you know what you did?- It was revenge.Words of recognition that took on a new meaning. Not just revenge - it was pleasure.- We had an agreement with Beam. Now it's broken.- And now what?- This city is ours.The rats didn't show up, but I was sure I really heard their voice. Despite the death fever bubbling in the body. It was not delusion, hallucination, imagination.- You broke the contract that held us ten years. Now it's our turn to pay for the service.

The door shook from the impact. I just need a little time. Recover. No matter how serious the guard was, it was not possible to break in. Wait, freak, we'll see you.Taking back control of the muscles, he glanced at the indicators in the interface. Mana is enough. The berserk has long since died out, depriving me of part of my strength. Not that important.Rolling away from the door, he let it open with a kick. The guard smiles bloodthirstyly. Not afraid? In vain.Impulse Activation.4 mana spent.This time the hit is accurate.

Thoughts became even darker. Magic can't be used? You can come to terms with this. But what is this strange reaction of the body to a blow from a baton? After all, they hit the prosthesis. Yes, and the first blow was not so painful when the fingers flew. Sadden, of course. The skin was torn, it bled a little. But nothing terrible.The club looked normal. Wooden. The guards said that magic can't be used. Then why am I twisted?“Grid,” I called, casting aside my pride.- Listen, fox.- What kind of club do the guards have?- Who knows?- You do not know?- I know. She is wooden. Probably.- And that's it?Grid was silent. Grimacing, I buried my face in my knees. They took away my crown, weapon, smoking pipe, bag with the Diary. All have been taken. And now they're going to keep it here? What the heck? What is Beam thinking?- Watch out, it's almost night. The torches are almost out.Torches. They burn for quite a long time. Also weird.

And now we are standing in front of some thin guy. Bim is angrily pushing something. For some reason, I crumpled the collar of my shirt, bringing my frightened face closer to me. I punch a couple of times, cutting through the skin with the steel of the prosthesis. The guy screams plaintively, making excuses. As soon as I let him go, he tries to run away. Bim with laughter, like a crazy animal, rushes after him. Jumping! Catches the fugitive, pinning him to the ground. With a crunch, he breaks his hand. I laugh, leaning against the wall. Makes me sick. The ataman takes out a purse from the poor man's pocket. Hangs on his belt. Finally he kicks me and waves his hand to me: "Let's go."And then we broke into someone's house. Long disputes about debts. Powder is sprinkled on the countertop. Beam generously tightens his nostrils. Grabs the bag, pours out more. He invites me with his gaze. I lean. Shaking. I have a hard time taking a short puff. I scream, I shake my head. The system warns a

- Will you go? Lisa looked at me sadly.- Yes. Try not to worry and relax. Just close behind me.Picking up the bag, kissed the girl goodbye and left the room.***The streets of the city were lifeless. Beam and I are almost the only passers-by. You can't even see the patrols... The houses are standing, crooked and tired. The sun did not have time to flare up as it should, and around us there was a cool twilight. Everything is painted in soft blue. Frost is visible in places.“Everything didn’t go according to plan,” Beam began, dragging on his pipe. “The Recognized didn't go that far before.“They knew about you,” remembering, he suppressed a yawn with difficulty. - Apparently, the Heroes decided to take on the atamans.- Let them take it. You can’t get to the barons, and if they are alive, then there will always be atamans, - the man waved his hand casually. - In any case, we are not rebels. Our interest is in money, not in the killed "heroes". Let them search, sniff. Let's get by w

- I lost my horse.“Like many of us,” the chieftain chuckled. - Nothing, don't worry. Goldie immediately went to the stable to look after the horses for us. It is at the other end of the village, a little further away. Let's go to.Glancing at the dead Hero, whose body began to gradually crumble into ashes, he grimaced and picked up his sword. It was the only thing of any value. I won't wear metal armor.- Let's go, - with a sigh, he followed the Red Beam.You have successfully completed the quest "The Judgment of the Guilty". Hooray, long live the robbery of innocent souls.You receive a point of experience and a point of Abandonment.For a reward, contact the NPC.***Perhaps it was presumptuous of us. Maybe thoughtlessly. Or maybe ... initially impossible.“It’s someone strong,” Bim muttered.A thinned group of robbers, among whom was I, stood in front of the stable. We were united by one feeling - an animal fear that binds hands and feet. On the hay scattered in front of the stall

Grab the hilt of the sword.- Break off! - shouted, twisting the blade.Ribs stop movement.Impulse Activation.Mana spent.The wind became like steel cutting through the sternum. I tensed, planting my feet on the ground, arching, cutting my torso with a furious scream.Impulse Activation.Mana spent.The blade spun along the ribs, splitting the muscles… crippling the organs.
