FAULT ; ARTIFACT ONE
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

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

Goosebumps ran down my back and arms. Wow. Why am I so excited? Where does this excitement come from? I'm scared and curious at the same time! So, then, what is the romance of adventure. This is how travelers felt in the past, discovering uncharted lands, finding new animals and other civilizations. Breathing in full, I continued on my way. I came to the habitat of the mucus half an hour later. Mana has already been regenerated, but I am in no hurry to kill simple mucus - it is not enough how much it will take for a large one. All that's left is to find it. Belatedly, I realized that I should have asked Alasta what kind of hunters ran into a huge slime, and then they would find out the most specific place where they saw it. It is too late to return, and laziness, but for the future it is necessary to take as a rule better to learn the details of the task. In general, you need to learn at least from your mistakes. I moved across the fields, carefully going around the slime. They do

- 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.

- Zheka, Chechens in the city! 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

Your mother's time in this world is coming to an end.Guardians offer you a task:Reach Ozatorga in the company of the lost ones who will leave the city in the near future, and we, the Guardians, will ensure your meeting with your mother.The consequence accompanying the acceptance of the task is the acquisition of a special status, the temporary inclusion of lost souls in the system.1) Accept the task.2) Reject the job.**Of course, she should have consulted with her father, but Erita immediately realized that all this was superfluous, since she made her choice at the moment when she read the text to the end. 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
