FAULT ; ARTIFACT Thirteen: END GAME
The first desire was to run. Run anywhere. But I quickly suppressed it. It is clear that in our world you can escape from a drunken bum, but not from a large criminal organization. They have hackers who can hack into CCTV systems and control where I went. They can quickly intercept me. The only way is by some miracle to make it to the walls surrounding the super city and get out into the wilds, only life is not sugar there and death will find me pretty soon. But you still need to get to the exit from the supercity, and getting out is not so easy.I remembered that artifacts, and indeed any magical items brought from the rift, can work in our world. Simply put, you can initiate death, and then be reborn. But he dismissed that thought as well. I remember, according to the description, there were words that the dead person is reborn in a minute. Yes, I will buy time, but very quickly everyone will understand that there was a staging, and I am actually alive. The last option is to change

- What... who...? And it's you, Tim. What are you calling? Alex's grumpy voice rang out. I looked into my friend's face. - Alex, what are you doing there? – breathed on the verge of audibility female voice. “Wait,” he said nervously, then in one motion launched the noise cut-off program, turned to me and asked: “Well, what did you want, Tim?” - Tell me, how do tunnelers earn money by ordinary hunting for monsters? - Why do you need it? You've only just begun. Second level. First, go up to the sixth and how you can hunt monsters of the third or fourth level alone - that's when we'll talk. - No, tell me anyway. He narrowed his eyes. - Tim, you haven't gathered for an hour again in the rift? You didn’t rest, but you have a simple virtcapsule. - I'm not very tired, so I drank a geyza, took an hour's nap and can go again. Well, like this? Alex chewed his lips, then exhaled and said: - Okay. As you wish. In general, they usually make money by finding rare items. If you are a colle

Hit points decreased to 340. Yes, I have a rebirth, but I would not want to spend it on such a thing.I twirled, screamed in pain, drenched in sweat and launched one clot of flame after another at the creatures.Chaos Wolf slain.Experience Gained: 60 experience + 12 for killing a monster above your level.Reward received: 60 zen.Okay, three left. I got up almost in the center of the mini camp, behind the fire. The wolves came in from three directions, growling, angrily flashing red eyes. Everyone's fur is scorched in different places, but this did not weaken their desire to tear me apart.The lungs are burning, the heart is beating, and the blood is pulsing in the temples. Slightly to the right, next to the bar of hit points, the inscription “bleeding” appeared, due to which every second stamina decreases by 1%, and hit points by 5. In total, I have a little more than two hundred left.- Well, come here! I roared, casting a fire spell.The wolves jumped at once, I abruptly jumped ba

He disappeared, and I thought hard. In general, selling a guide is a profitable business, but only in my case it will be incomplete. Still, the artifact was a considerable merit of yesterday's pumping, but I think some secrets will have to be revealed. For then people will have suspicions - how did this newcomer level up so quickly? It will be necessary to ask Alex later if it is possible, instead of a detailed guide, to give out some of the secrets that I learned. Probably, the price of a collection of tips will not be as high as that of a detailed guide, but safety is more important.* * *The first thing I saw when I arrived at the camp was yesterday's beauty. She stood in line to get out of the rift. Red hair, like a flame, falls on her shoulders, a calm look of green eyes does not express emotions.She turned around as if sensing my gaze. A smile flickered across his lips.- Weasel, come in, - Alex said, leaning out of the warehouse.He saw me, smiled, waving his hand. I waved ba
FAULT ; ARTIFACT Seventeen
As soon as I raised my spiritual strength to five, the numbers in the line opposite the magic damage modifier and magic defense changed:Magic damage modifier - 10%.Magic defense modifier - 10%.So, a modifier of magical damage and protection. What does it mean?As soon as I asked this question, a hint immediately appeared.Magic Damage Modifier - Increases spell damage.Magic Defense Modifier - Increases magic defense against items.It turns out that now the lightning strike will deal not 35 damage, but 10% more, like a small fire strike. 38 and 11 damage respectively. Given that I don't have items that give magical protection, this modifier is useless for now.While thinking about everything, I made my way to the town hall. The guard glanced at me, but didn't move to block the way. I greeted him with a smile, but he just snorted and turned away. I wonder if he did not interfere because he already knows me or because my reputation in the city has increased a little?Be that as it ma

Who are you and why did you bother me? he asked coldly.- I'm Tim. Battle mage and adventurer. The head of the city sent me to you, saying that you might have a job for me.- Oh, so you're the smart guy that helped Alast? Heard, heard. Yes, I think you can help a little. Come on in, there is nothing to stand on the threshold.Inside the mansion is some kind of library. A lot of bookcases, ladders attached to them, chests with scrolls and other paper utensils."I'm in a bit of a mess here, it's because I've been rummaging through everything looking for weak magic paper." Alas, I did not find it.On the right, on the wall between the cabinets, I saw a hanging picture. It depicts Normar himself, standing to his full height, and in front of him on a chair sits a smiling, freckled girl, the one who sold me the scroll with the spell.“You have a beautiful daughter,” I said, remembering that she asked me not to tell her father about her inappropriate behavior.- Yes, - he said, sighed, looke

Weasel. A huge castar rises in the middle of the field, the “flower” is bent in our direction, the mouth is slightly open, a sharp row of teeth is visible, which ordinary castars do not have. Even its color has changed, the leaves and stem have darkened, purple streaks are visible, entangling the castar like a network of blood vessels. - Listen here, I won't repeat it twice. It is a level 5 monster, but because it is a boss, it is many times more dangerous than normal level 5 monsters. He has one and a half thousand health points. It uses two types of attacks - a root strike and a bite. When it takes 500 damage, it starts spitting gastric juice and releases a corrosive mist. Got it? - Yes. - Then attack. As soon as he's distracted, I'll come up from behind and land a few hits. When he over aggresses on me, attack intensively again, let him be distracted by you again. Here, grab three life restoration potions. That is all I have. I don't want you to die after a couple of attacks. Ev

- Hello, I would like to learn spells, did I come right?- Oh, are you a mage?I frowned, she smiled guiltily.- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, and please don't tell my father about my behavior.- Let's forget about it. So what about spells?- Oh sure. We can sell spell scrolls. There is everything but the entry level.Hmm, entry level?- Do you mean spells of this type? I asked, creating a flame in my hand.- Yes Yes! This is a fire strike, if I'm not mistaken? Entry level spell. We do not sell these. But there are spells of the first level, a fireball, a lightning strike, an ice spear, a bog. These are elemental spells, are you a combat mage or a healer?- Battle Mage.- Well, then elemental spells should be available to you, but do you have enough money?"And how much do first-level spells cost?" I asked.- Five thousand zen.Well, just like Alex said.- Then I have one.- Which? she said with a smile, placing four scrolls on the counter.I rubbed my chin, frowning and try
