He turned sharply, trying to throw the girl off the back of her neck, but she put one ax into the magical space and clung to the armor. The hobgoblin spun around, tried to grab Weasel with his hand, but nothing happened, she deftly dodged. And then she slashed at the head. Thick skin and bone saved the hobgoblin, and the ax plunged barely a few millimeters into the head. A figure of 80 damage appeared above the goblin, he squealed.I stepped back, breathing heavily. The world shakes before my eyes. Pain ripples from the shoulder. I noticed a message that the hand was critically wounded and now I can’t move it for a hundred seconds.While the hobgoblin squeals and tries to throw Weasel off, I removed almost all the torches from magical space, dumped them in a pile. A strong flame shot up, illuminating the area. A black ball formed in the left hand, to which all space was drawn. The fire from the burning torches piled in a heap reached for the ball. I brought it closer. The flame seemed

- Yes. I have it marked on the map in the same way as the exits controlled by corporations, - I said, then stopped abruptly, looked at the girl. - Weasel.She also stopped and looked at me suspiciously.- What?- Thanks for helping.She looked away.- If you were a complete goat, then for any money I would not climb into that fortress to help you.- Why is this? Although I understand that life is more expensive ...- Tim. I am terminally ill. I have mimicking cancer. So I already have one foot in the grave. That's why I'm not interested in riches and other crap that ordinary people crave. My whole life here, in the rift, is an attempt to collect money in order to give them for treatment and live an extra day. This does not mean that I am ready for anything for the sake of money. But if there is a person who is also on the verge of life and death, instead of thinking about himself, goes and helps others, I cannot leave him alone. The reason why you decided to save those girls... I tota

New body.Nevertheless, the experience of battles, and with it the adoption of important and urgent decisions, made itself felt. Probably, an ordinary person who did not have my experience of fighting monsters would have panicked, started rushing around the apartment, thinking what had happened. I quickly got over my feelings. Now is not the time to be surprised. I’ll think about my current state later, now I need to bring down as quickly as possible, because in addition to Yuji’s bandits, we should also expect corporations. So the apartment should be left without delay.Looking down, I found myself standing naked. Well, it is understandable, from a powerful explosion all the clothes were torn to shreds. I mentally clicked on the inventory icon. To my relief, my first clothes remained in the magical vault - shoes, old trousers and a shirt. When I bought my first set, I put the starting clothes in the magical storage, and forgot about it. You don't know what will come in handy in life.

You should have seen the delivery man's face! Since I paid without using any visible device, which means that the logical conclusion is that I have an expensive chip implanted, only now I look like a bum.Once again, a couple of thugs rang at the door. I understand that these were Yuji's guys, who decided to walk around the neighbors, find out about the details of the explosion and if anyone saw a suspicious guy leaving the explosion site. I prepared a spell, but did not open it and generally somehow respond. I thought that they would decide to try to get into the apartment, but apparently they did not have an access key decoder, or there was an order to be careful, or the presence of police drones nearby stopped them from illegal actions.I also ordered delivery of clothes. I didn’t order something super cool for two reasons: firstly, I didn’t know if I could use it, and secondly, if I have to fight with someone again, it’s not a pity to ruin cheap clothes.Dressed in ordinary jeans

- Fuck you.- What?I didn't even waste the spell, I just punched him sharply from below in the jaw.- Bitch! he croaked.Flying away, I waved my knife, but the stone skin held out, and I didn’t even get hit.I ran up to him, fear appeared in the stranger's eyes, he hastily stabbed with a knife, but, like last time, nothing happened. And his blow was weak, and the quality of the steel of the knife left much to be desired. No, if I had ordinary flesh, his weapon would easily enter into it, but my skin became equal in strength to stone.His eyes widened in surprise as he realized that the knife hadn't even pierced the skin. He must have thought it was artificial. My fist hit hard on the nose. The enemy howled, dropped the knife, fell to the ground, covering his face with his palms, but even so he could not restrain the flow of blood, which rounded his lips in two red paths, accumulated on his chin and began to drip onto the ground.Crap! Some petty robber. I thought one of Yuuji's guys

Kingdom of Santon.I froze."Don't move," came a voice from behind. - Tell me, who are you? Ah, please forgive my manners, my name is Farust.- I'm Tim.- Tim? By chance not summoned by Sol? the stranger asked.- Yes. And by chance you are not studying this gap here. Are you a friend of Alast?I felt the tense gaze of an invisible interlocutor behind my back, but as soon as I called out the name of the alchemist, the tension hanging in the air eased. A weary exhalation reached his ears. Realizing that the immediate danger had passed, I slowly turned around.Three paces from me, near a small tree, stands a tall man in his fifties with a short white beard, in a dark robe and a pointed hat typical of a magician. It rests on a wooden staff, on top of which is attached a large shiny black stone with sharp edges.- So, you are the young man about whom Alast studied alchemy?- Yes.There was a short silence. Faroust studied me for a few moments, then turned his gaze to the rift.- So, you ge

We don't really know what it is either. All our knowledge is just guesswork. Sol tried to tell us, but we could not comprehend his great thought in full. But it is understandable - if an adult begins to explain the complexity of the world to a small child - will he understand much?Faroust turned around and started back through the woods.- They say that once the world was out of chaos...Suddenly his glory became muffled, as if Farust had moved away from me twenty meters. And memories of twenty years ago, when I read Alion's lore, surfaced in my head.Everywhere was chaos and only him. Thousands, millions, billions of years passed, when suddenly chaos became aware of itself as a personality. And this awareness was expressed in the birth of Sol - the first God of chaos. Not wanting to be a single mass anymore, Chaos wanted to change, and Sol was the embodiment of that desire. So from the God of chaos, he became the God of order. He condensed chaos and created matter, stars, as well as

"Mr. Faroust," I called.- Already gone?- Almost. I just wanted to ask what spell you used on that bear. It is powerful and at the same time created quickly. It seemed to me that the more powerful the spell, the more mana and time it required.- Oh, it's simple.With these words, Farust showed a ring on his right and left hands.- Epic Grandmaster Rings. Accelerate mana flow. Thanks to them, I can form any spell twice as fast. And the staff has the ability to increase the effectiveness of the mana used, so I need less mana to cast spells than a normal mage. The combination of these two factors allows you to cast spells three times faster and spend less mana. That's it, boy.Well, another advantage of the firearm, such as the rate of fire, has been lost. Only the target range remained. I wonder if there are long-range spells?- By the way, you don't take students? I asked.Farust chuckled.- I'm sorry, man, but no. You may be good, but I have neither the time nor, sorry, the desire.-
