FAULT ; ARTIFACT chapter 157
- 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. I don't want to say that every day will eventually turn into something bad, no. But th

A huge game complex-bar floated by. Here you can have a drink, and a striptease watch, and there is a game room, both with gambling and with old billiards. It's the day, so it's closed for now. The residential mega complex has moved, overhanging: huge, mighty, reaching to the lead clouds that block the light of the sun, lowering a shadow on the city, turning the surrounding space into a picture drawn with a simple pencil. Only neon signs of various establishments, clubs, tattoo parlors, small implant clinics and small shops dilute this gray picture with paints. The door opened with a hiss, letting us into the spacious hall. Ahead you can see the stairs leading to the next floor, on the right there are dozens of elevators. In this residential mega complex there are a thousand floors and each has a hundred apartments. In fact, a small town located in one building. The most interesting thing is that the entrance to it is not only on the first floor. There is an exit from higher transpo

Realizing that I could not turn away, that if I did not answer now, then in a couple of minutes a couple of muzzles would break into the apartment, and then really would not be well, I accepted the call, transferring it directly to the projector, which immediately changed the image of the studio from the announcer continuing to tarator to a dark room. Most of the screen was occupied by a dark face with clearly Mexican features, with a black oblong mustache and a smoothly shaven chin. He has long black hair gathered on the back of his head in a ponytail, an elongated dark face covered with scars and wrinkles. Dark as a pair of olives, the eyes looked out from under the thick eyebrows that converged over the bridge of the nose."Well, hello, Tim," the man said in a hoarse voice as he leaned back in his chair.He is dressed in a white plaid shirt, the unbuttoned top of which exposes the chest and neck, covered with tattoos.- Hello Yuji.The man stared for a few moments, pursing his lips

- Yes. Not without it, Alex agreed with his lips pursed. - But think about it. If luck smiles, then in one raid, albeit through the checkpoints of the corporation, you can earn up to forty thousand credits.I froze when I heard this amount. Forty thousand credits. Quite a lot. Twelve such raids and, consider it, a debt as never before. Just to fit in the allotted two weeks.I felt the warmth spilling in my chest. My situation doesn't seem to be entirely hopeless"That's if I'm lucky," Alex added, seeing the fire of excitement in my eyes. - Usually they get two or three thousand for a raid - but also not bad, albeit at the risk of life.Two or three thousand? Little. And yet better than nothing. In general, even if you receive so much, then in a couple of weeks you can give part of the money to Yuji and try to convince him to increase the term. Of course, in this case, he will put me on the counter, and I will have to pay not only the amount of debt, but also interest, but this is bett

So. So what to choose? More logical than a healer - he stands behind his backs, heels, buffaets and does not fight monsters. The lightness of being, as they say. Only here is a strong dependence on allies. I will not be able to extract anything myself in solo, and I will receive production on a residual basis, because others are at risk, and I am just support. If it weren't for the limited time and huge debt, I probably would still choose a healer, but for some reason I have to take a battle mage.Make sure you select correctly, distribute the characteristics, enter a name, and confirm Battle Mage:Life points – 100Mana points – 20Physique – 1Agility – 1Spiritual Power – 1Skills: None.Magic Damage Modifier – 0.Physical damage modifier – 0.Magic Protection Modifier – 0.Evasion modifier – 0.The chance of a critical attack is 0.Experience up to the next level of 0 out of 200.Available points features: 1So, then you can throw one point of the characteristic.

The manual was really small. While I was wandering along the road to the Launch, or rather to the place where the weakest monsters should be, I managed to read it several times.First, the characteristics:Physique – responsible for the number of life points, for your physical parameters, such as endurance or strength, which is responsible for the damage of melee weapons.Agility – for the speed of movement, as well as reaction and accuracy. As it turns out, this parameter is important not only for "archers", but also for "killers", who may wield daggers, but speed and evasion are important to them.Spiritual Power – Responsible for the power of spells, for protection from magic, the speed of spell creation, and is also required to study higher levels of spells.Other than that, I have a small magic vault. Let things in it fold into a certain space, but its weight is reflected in me. Simply put, if I put an anvil weighing under 70 kg in a magical space, then I will simply be crushed t

The locals, neatly dressed, squint at me with suspicion, but no one shows open hostility. It's understandable, I have zero reputation in the city. Of course, you can make a negative one, but it is better to raise it to a good one. With a good reputation, discounts in stores will be available to you and people will be more welcoming. At least that was the case in a lion.I went to the town hall, but they wouldn't let me in. I was climbing the stairs when a guard standing still stepped to the side, blocking the entrance to the building.- Stop! Where do you go? He said without malice, but there were clearly notes of wariness and mistrust in his voice."I'm going to the head of the city," I said.- Any beggars are not allowed to disturb Mr. Walf.I froze. In a lion, the dialogues took place automatically, or some with pop-up answers. Here, as expected, there is nothing of the sort. Well, let's try to improvise. Of course, I don't remember the dialogue in the game when visiting the town h
FAULT ; ARTIFACT SEVEN
Yes, there are game laws, but this world is real. This is really some kind of parallel reality, the passage to which has opened up in a quantum network. To be honest, it looks like some kind of surrealism, but in fact, ore, rare metals, gold and other valuables are mined from here, which are already in short supply, in our world, which has depleted the resources of the planet due to a policy of unrestrained and endless increase in consumption."Well done," he wheezed. - Looks like you can really help me.Quest: kill two slimes, bring Alast 2 pieces of remains.Solved.Award received: : 40 experience points. 2 small mana potions.Thin, wrinkled skin-covered fingers, like a chicken's foot, quickly pushed back the latch, the loops creaked obnoxiously.- Let's put the remains here.I handed them to the alchemist."Take it, since you're a magician, you must have spent mana," he said, holding out 2 small glass bubbles filled with a blue ink-like liquid in response.As soon as I picked them
