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 overaggresses 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. Everyo

I was already approaching Normar's house when the call chirped. I allowed the connection. Alex's happy face appeared in front of his eyes.- Hi Tim. How are things progressing?- Fine. Swinging slowly, - I said, trying to drive away the gloomy expression from my face.- This is good. Knocked out something?- No, not really.“Well, don’t worry, now you just need to level up, pick up equipment and gain experience in fighting monsters, and then when you join any group or clan, that’s when the earnings will go,” he said. “Wow, are you level five already?” Solid! There should have been as many as five points of characteristics. I hope you didn't throw everything into the spirit?- No, of course, I added one point to the physique and agility.- Well done, when you start to master the professions in parallel, then they will be needed. And then, let's go to the mines - the work is not dusty, but you can get something sensible - you will immediately get a good profit?- Not until the miners do

I entered the room, the smell of engine oil and melted plastic tickling my nose. - And you're not really encrypted, - I said, looking at the shelves. You think the police don't know what I'm doing here? They just turn a blind eye for ten thousand credits a month. Okay, tell me what you need. “SMT-79 pistol,” I said. The man chuckled and walked over to the left wall. He pressed a barely noticeable key. There was a buzz, the wall lowered, and behind it opened a row with a hundred different pistols, submachine guns and automatic rifles. "Good weapon," the man said. “But, as you know, I have everything modified here. - That's why I came to you. I need a stealth version. Slightly shortened barrel and built-in deceiver detectors. - A homing bullets you do not need in addition? he asked, smiling. No, I can manage without them. - I see you are well aware of what toys and modifications I make. There is such a pistol - it is especially popular, so you often have to buy original pistols

Abaddon.2069 year. The 4th of October. 11:55 am.Here I am again in the rift. A warm wind blows in your face, you smell of pine needles, you can hear the singing of birds and the distant murmur of a stream. Clouds of dust are knocked out from under the soles, which settle in yellow spots on dark bows. They are uncomfortable, old and fresh seams are visible in several places, which means that they have recently been repaired. Moreover, I have a feeling that the right shoe will soon “request porridge”, at least the sole is already slightly bent. And my clothes are also not new: there are small holes, the fabric is worn, there are patches in a couple of places. Not to mention the fact that the pants are torn in several places, as well as the sleeves of the shirt - thanks to the wolves. In general, the wardrobe should be changed, but not now, but tomorrow. As soon as the changes in reputation take effect, and I will have a discount on goods in the city, then I need to update. Now it is w

“Sorry Tim, I can’t talk. I’m here among my own people, it won’t be cool if some checkpoint checker is not only familiar with some player, but also friends with him. Okay, we'll talk later when I'm free."It's clear. Well, later means later.I was about to move past the city, but I remembered the spell shop. I'm sure my gob of flame works on skeletons, but it's pretty weak. But how does lightning work? I suspect that the dead are immune to it.With these thoughts, I made a sharp turn, and soon a small shop building appeared in front of me."Welcome," a familiar perky voice rang out as I stepped inside.Behind the counter is the same girl with freckles, dressed in a hoodie and a dark, wide-brimmed and pointed hat.“Hello,” the girl said and smiled. Thank you for not telling dad.“Nothing, Shilna,” I said, waving my hand. - I'm Tim, by the way.“Nice to meet you,” she said, narrowing her curious gray eyes with a smile.Attention, the level of friendship with Shilna has been increased.Y

Even so, assuming ten points of mana was regenerated every six minutes, I was able to deplete it pretty quickly. So I had to drink a large can of mana recovery.Meanwhile, another skeleton came out from behind a tree. Raising his cudgel, he hobbled towards me, hissing like a leaky car tire.- Well, come, come here, - I said, creating another block.* * *I walked around the cemetery once again, but the dead are not visible. I looked at the experience points.Experience to next level: 1573 out of 3000Considering that I received "knowledge", and with it twenty experience points, it turns out that I killed about 33 dead people. Just thirty-three heroes.Smiling at this thought, he moved through the cemetery to the exit. The clouds thickened even more, a heavy thunder is heard, as if mountains are collapsing in the sky, now and then blinding discharges of lightning spread through the clouds like a river. They seem to be waiting impatiently when I leave the shelter to fall down in streams

- And if you just give the crossbow? Yura murmured.- On the one hand, the possession of this crossbow is really a big hemorrhoids, - Genghis Khan nodded, - and on the other hand, incredible luck and a chance to get out of this world twenty years earlier. But in order to take advantage of this chance, you don’t have to “wait for the weather by the sea”, but take “hands in feet” and go, as these boobies say - swing.“But it doesn’t seem so bad here,” Zhenya said thoughtfully. “At least as long as the said Guardians are pleased with you.Genghis Khan shook his head.- You know, I envy you a little: the first ten years in this world are in many ways a happy time, albeit full of severe trials. But man is a complex creature, not only pain and suffering move us forward. With every year spent in this place, indescribable nostalgia, longing, longing for the place lying there ahead will grow stronger in you.

Gather brother!True, what does the philosopher have to do with it and where to take the mentioned lads, the gopnik did not specify.Genghis Khan sighed, snapped a cunning crossbow from his belt, put the weapon on the bed next to Tuen, and he himself took a free chair, of which there were several in the room, put it next to the bed, sat down and, raising his hand, waved to everyone:- Hi.Kolya, meanwhile, was blushing like cancer, realizing that he was slightly frostbitten.- Valuable advice "on the track", - Genghis Khan continued, - if the Guardians offer something, it is better to agree. But do not rush to do what is proposed according to their scenario: these guys will definitely try to drag you into the very ass. Try to work with your head and go to your goal in your own way. Which, of course, will not always succeed.What are martial skills? - Zhenya immediately clarified the information on the reward for the quest.Genghis Khan, without getting u

Having experimented a little, she chose the desired menu item:**1) Accept the task.**In vain did the girl think that her misadventures were over, the event that happened a moment later divided her whole life into before and after. And although the Guardians made every effort available to them to facilitate the process of transformation, the lousy experience was far beyond

Dietrich, having analyzed his part of the work, was frankly depressed. Since Paul and Genghis Khan got formidable, but, in fact, single targets, and his opponents "spread" over a very large area. Fortunately, this square was constantly squeezed by the city guard, but they also added new hemorrhoids - as if not to knock down someone outside and not to spoil valuable property.Without hindrance, passing the place of deployment of the defenders of the city, the German hurriedly walked out to the port facilities. Stopping in the middle of a dark port street, he assessed the situation. At the moment, the "front line" between the pirates and the defenders of the city passed in a place where hangars and warehouses tightly adjacent to each other ended and residential buildings began. The port was a semi-closed territory, into which several wide streets led, but at the same time, various small streets and lanes were completely absent. At night, guards were stationed at the exits of the port, w

Genghis Khan was rapidly approaching the western coast. Having parted with his comrades, he did not want to go down to the ground and was now moving towards his goal using exclusively the city roofs. In practice, jumping on tiles had two subtleties: first, it was necessary not to ruin the roof during repulsion, and second, it was necessary not to ruin it when landing. The one mentioned was bad. And the man consoled himself with the hope that for the sake of a great cause, a mountain of broken tiles would be forgiven him. Having shortened the path in this way and at the same time assessed the situation in the city, he very soon found himself on the coast.Here, standing by the embankment, Genghis Khan pulled back his sleeve from his wrist, revealing to the night an elegant silver bracelet covered with dense rows of reddish runes. Giving the artifact a mental command, he began to patiently peer into the darkness of the sea. Finally, the pirate ship snapped back with another salvo, revea

Fizruk disappeared. In his place, another, already middle-aged actor from a film about a sophisticated cannibal appeared, who ate other actors and especially loved gelatinous brains. And Yura was afraid of this actor.- Why not? The task of the Final Set is to help you get through the path to the end, to give strength that is inaccessible at the current level of development. Our meeting was not without fate, but if she drags you, then she only gives me strong advice, so don’t be arrogant. There was a place and commonality: it's funny - you and I are similar in a certain set of emanations, as a lion and a kitten are similar. And the last of the weighty ones - for some reason I wanted to play on the nerves of Vega and Zegero. Vega is the bearded man who gave the green light to your possession of the Fourth Treasure of Darkness. He and Zegero run the show here. Vega is nothing less than a galaxy, but not the one you think of. Zegero is the largest black hole in observable space. And a ra

- Good question, bad answer. Your shattered head will provoke her into attacking the blackbeard. She will snatch out a cunning stiletto that is hidden in her belt and try to drive twenty centimeters of death under the shoulder blade of the leader of the pirates. But, alas, the weight categories are too different: a short blow, and after the third bullet today. Trite, sad, but true.- Can I do something?!The "actor" thoughtfully touched his chin with his hand, and then issued:- And why, maybe it's better to go home, at the computer ...- How is it, home? Yura didn't understand.- Yes, it's very simple. Here you are, and here you are at home, celebrating your luck from the bow knocked out of the boss, lazily brushing off offers to sell it, or join a new community of players more worthy of you. What is it called, “flock” it seems, but no, in another way - “clan”. Well, what a mess in your Sharapov head, - and Kukuruz looked at the hitman with a look, as if he was going to sew a shirt f

Pondering the plan of action, Yura became despondent. The reason for despondency, as is often the case, lay in the details. First, the current fence turned out to be quite high, about the height of a man, and metal spiers stuck out on top of this fence, not very sharp, but a piece of hoodie can easily be left. Secondly, the road between the residence and the territory of the garden, in which the “guerrilla-scout” sat down, was very well lit. And now, carefully parting the branches of the bush, the young man clearly saw the bustle of armed men in the courtyard of the building he needed.“What did I get here at all! Although no, it’s clear what’s useful: it’s likely that Erita really has problems. The question is, how can I, a fool, solve these problems ... ”the hit man groaned to himself and began to think about how, if not to solve the problems, then at least not to produce new ones.Alas, the thinker did not generate anything worthwhile.

In a pant, another kilometer and a half flew by, during which it became clear that there was not so much left of the former Yura in him, at least bodily. He couldn’t run more than a kilometer before, and “run” is not quite the right word, “puff” was more suitable. However, the current Yura was far from the condition of a super hero, which is why he was incredibly out of breath.Suddenly, "the scenery changed" and the young man ended up in the area of posh mansions of wealthy citizens. The mansions were located in even rows, which were separated from the road by low bars. The road itself was illuminated by frequent, but not very bright gas lamps. A sort of holiday village of extra-class. And now, only two hundred meters separated from the beginning of the nobility district to the residence of the lord of the hitman. Just run a little forward, turn left and go out to the large ornate gates of the monastery of the local ruler. What Yura immediately decided to do. And he almost fell i
