A scarf soaked in chaos.The mist, white as milk, bulges and slowly floats around. It gives off a coolness and a rotten smell, as if I were again in a swamp. In height, it rises to the waist. So dense that under it you can’t see the earth or what is hidden in it.The feeling of danger like a sticky, slimy lump enveloped the frantically beating heart and squeezes it every time any faint rustle touches the hearing. Covered in a cold sweat, peering into the white haze in the hope of at least seeing something and expecting some kind of reptile to jump out of there, I moved forward. Fear constrains movement and only by an effort of will can one force oneself to go. After all, to remain in place means to die. The counter in the corner under the hit points and mana is counting down.The pale moon pours light around the area, somehow dispersing the darkness. All the windows are closed with massive iron shutters, and the light penetrates only through small, barely noticeable cracks. Moans and

Finally, I crawled to the roof, began to convulsively climb down the stairs, which at the last moment slid slightly down, which made my insides shrink. My feet touched the tiles, and the tension that had never left me eased a little. I wanted to drag the ladder in the usual way, but remembered my capabilities, mentally called up the menu and ordered it to be put into inventory. She was engulfed in light and in a moment the stairs disappeared.Climbing to the top of the roof, he looked into the distance. There are forty more houses to the outskirts of the city.I took a couple of breaths in and out and moved on.There are 2 hours and 40 minutes left before death.* * *A shiver runs through my body, the stairs creak under my weight, and look, either the steps will break, or the stairs themselves will break.To my surprise, the distance between the houses turned out to be different everywhere. Somewhere half a meter and you could just step over from one roof to another, but somewhere th

From fatigue, he sways from side to side and in order not to fall, he has to grab onto tree branches."Faster, faster, gotta go faster!"I want to fall and at least rest a little, but if I do this, I won’t have time for the break, and then I’m definitely finished.A branch snapped to the left. I froze, pumped mana into my hand, began to form a gravity gap, and at the same time slowly turned around. A few meters away from me, a silhouette resembling a bear froze between the trees. Only a few tentacles protrude from the back, and the eyes glow green in the dark.A bear stricken by chaos.Only this was not enough! I have a lot of problems without it. Even if his name is written in white, it will still take time to kill.In the hope that he did not notice me, I wanted to move on, but the bear, having guessed my intentions, roared and, standing on all fours, darted in my direction. I cast a spell towards. The bear braked sharply and jumped to the side. The ball flew past. The bear, meanwhi

But Yura, our hero was there, in real life, which is the school, going to the store past the annoying grandmothers and communicating with all sorts of people who are not in the subjec

On the move of the mother of noobs and merchants, from whom it was always impossible to push through in the capital of the mainland, Yurig made his way to the NPC responsible for teleportation. Realistic physics - it's certainly cool, but annoying in places. Hurrying to the right place, he remembered the description of the boss and whether it was worth picking up some quest related to this boss."Feathered" bore the proud name "Bird of Primordial Fire - Sin-Anger" and from it there was a chance to "knock out" a bow that was very unchildish in terms of characteristics. And not even an adult, but the most bow that shakes Mount Fuji! Of course, in practice it was much easier to count the sleepers of the Trans-Siberian Railway than to drop this weapon from the mentioned monster, but these are already particulars. The main thing is that the "carrot" loomed somewhere ahead, warming with an alluring "what if". And there were enough other, more likely trophies from this boss.Using teleports,

"Fly-ha-ha!" - Yurig roared in his soul, imagining what a bummer awaits the overslept tops.“They will debuff, healers get ready! Let's finish off the boss, raise the nishtyaki and only then PVP, ”the summoner scribbled things that are obvious in principle in the group chat.The advantage in the selection of trophies was given to the group of players that dealt the most damage to the boss, so there is clearly nothing for the guests to catch. No, they, of course, can attack or even merge into the PC, but damn it, the game is not worth the candle - it's checked. The moment is lost: Feathered's health flashes alarmingly at the end of the XP bar.And here the unexpected happened. The ground shook, the textures in front of his eyes turned red, disturbing sounds filled his headphones. All of the above unambiguously hinted at the beginning of a local, seasonal apocalypse. Immediately, the knife of the "Angels" jumped behind the healer's back and made a hole in it for all the health that he h

It was dark, cold and damp all around. I really wanted to puke. But why would you want...- B-v-e-e-e-e, - with painfully unpleasant spasms, the stomach threw out its contents."It stinks ... And how, damn it, bad," Yura groaned in his mind with a burning consciousness.Then he tried to get up, but the body, which at first seemed to obey, treacherously suddenly lost strength. Head spinning, after which the young man fell exhausted to the cold floor, sprawled with a slap in a puddle of his own vomit.Panic thoughts swirled in my head."Abomination! Lipko. Am I naked!? And why is it dark in here?Yura tried to get up again, but there was absolutely no strength in his body. And no matter how disgusting it was to lie in a stinking puddle on cold stones, he could do nothing about it. And in the meantime, something should have been done."Wait, where am I? Why is it dark? Is this a morgue? Terrible thoughts flashed through my head. - Oh, yes, I felt bad, my heart ached. Maybe she was taken

The young man looked once more at the wiry men and the girl leaning against the wall. The logic of the past life hinted demandingly that if there is a naked woman and two men, then something indecent must definitely happen. And yet, something told the unlucky gamer that nothing like this happened here and could not happen.“How many wonderful discoveries this cruel world will bring to us, how much it will give and take away,” Vladimir whistled, clearly catching the train of thought of the young man.With a sour chuckle, he explained:- Even if the opportunity to poke a member in this world is not taken away, it will not work to poke it anywhere. Unless, of course, you plan to get out of here ... - the man commented somehow sadly and very incomprehensibly, looking at Yura along the way.From the ceiling came the muffled voices of people, the sounds of blows and the creaking of stone slabs. With a creak, an expanding joint strip appeared on the ceiling, and then part of the stone ceilin

- 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

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.

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
