"Rise and shine kids" Hera's delicate yet commanding voice resounded in the room performing the function of an alarm and waking them up. It was a bright new day and it was also the day that they would start the move to the North base, it was almost time for them to get moving as they had a long journey ahead of them.Roshan opened his eyes immediately and sat up on his bed, he could barely catch some shut eye last night, he was so excited that he had finally levelled up and he wanted to test out his new strength. Anytime he levelled up, the system always gave him free stats and it was the usage of these stats that he was looking forward to.Suddenly Roshan felt like a terrible thing was going to happen right now and soon enough, Hera's voice reached his ears. "Roshan, where were you last night?" Hera immediately asked as she was about to step out of the door.Roshan immediately felt a sudden drop in the temperature of the room, his throat felt parched, his hands became sweaty. The r
“Lieutenant, activate the ship's cloaking device, we will be back in six days, and I trust you all can take care till we return.” Hera voice leaked with command, confidence, and trust, she knew that leaving the ship in his hand would be the right thing to do because she had faith in him and his abilities. The Lieutenant nodded in understanding, the look on his face filled a resolve that silently passed across the message that he would defend the ship with his life and he marches back into the ship, determined to please his commander.Hera turned to her platoon* of soldiers who were arranged in a disciplined construction directly waiting for the order that would flow from her mouth. The Ship came alive with a low hum signifying the activation of the cloaking device, it was immediately shrouded in a veil of invisibility preventing it to be seen from any direction.The Princess’s voice boomed reaching every soldier, she had moved to the front of the formation facing the dense forest that
Roshan knew he had two options, which was either to tell the truth or to fabricate some sort of lie, with each having their own consequences but of course, rather than exposing the lie he had told the princess, he could just make up more lies to cover it up, lying never hurt anyone, did it? And it was definitely not going to hurt him unless Hera somehow found the truth in the future that didn’t mean the lie would hurt him, just that Hera would skin him alive or rain down those heavy light rods on him, pulverizing his body, breaking his bones, unless the system was able to heal him fast enough to match the speed at which the light rods were landing on him, he was going to be seeing his parents very soon.All these thoughts passed through Roshan’s head as he looked at the amount of people that had gathered around him, eager to hear how a kid like him was able to pass through the security.Roshan could feel a bitter taste in his mouth, either way; truth or lie, he was going to suffer in t
He was moving away from the campsite at an inhuman speed, whatever was pulling him had immense strength, he felt like he was just a rag doll to the creature. Roshan immediately activated his fire abilities causing the appearance of a red glow on his hands then he placed it on whatever had its hold on his leg, a burning scent filled the air as the fire burnt the skin of the limb which had its grip on him, but the creature did not let him go. “Damn!” Roshan cursed seeing that his plan had not worked, as if to retaliate, the creature made a whip lash with its limbs and suddenly he was thrown against a tree knocking out the air out of his lungs with a loud gasp. Nevertheless, he was determined to not get eaten alive and he was going to kill this thing whatever it was or at least try to fulfil the system quest. He immediately reached out his hands and grabbed the next tree he saw; he slowly wrapped his hands around the sturdy tree and tried pulling himself forward. It was a conquest of s
Roshan picked himself up and wiped the blood that flowed from the corner of his lips. “Where are they? I can’t keep this up” His face twisted in agony as he gripped his side. “System, inspect me” *Host has a total of six inner injuries*Roshan wondered if he wanted to know about them or if he was better off not knowing, “I just need to slice and dice this thing then” Roshan said to himself as he took another stance, he knew his HP was getting lower, that annoying branch must have broken a rib or two when it slammed into him. Roshan put all his agility and strength to use, he was faster and more efficient than before, he kept leaving afterimages but he knew that as he was pushing himself to the limits, he was also bringing more harm to his body but still he had to survive, a single hit from this monster was enough to give him some internal injuries, so he had to escape all hits. Thick branches came at him with amazing speed, Roshan twisted and turned with his fire sword in his han
Hera immediately rushed to the campsite, and at same time, the sun fully came up casting a luminous glow which brightened her path and made her journey a bit easier. Roshan needed her as soon as possible, apart from the true magic, only light magic was enough to pass off as a healing element. She could help purify the poison from his body and ensure he was in a good shape, hopefully they would find a mage when they arrived at the base they were headed to. Hera arrived at the campsite to see everyone gathered around the boy, he was heavily bruised, the roots had cut through his skin leaving scratches and tears on his body. He was not losing blood anymore as his body had been fully wrapped with bandages. Anyone could see that the person who wrapped him up had done a bad job at it, because every part of Roshan’s body had been fully covered with those bandages even the unaffected part. Hera rushed to where the boy laid and she gently ripped open the bandages on his abdomen, the poison
Roshan read through the panel again, wasn’t it too harsh? As if hearing his thoughts, the system brought out another panel. *Host is allowed to decide the fate of a higher ranked crew member* “There are ranks?” Roshan asked in surprise *Host is allowed to increase the ranks of his crew members when they have done a spectacular deed or fulfilled an important task. **A crew of ten members is called a faction. **Each faction is granted special rights or powers depending on their rank. **Host is advised to start gathering his first crew. **Increase in faction number can lead to addition of some perks to host. **Time limit for side quest is endless, but the system advises host to create a crew as soon as possible. * Roshan scratched his chin, everything the system had said was understandable, but how would he be sure of his crew member’s trust in him. *A blood oath can be considered but a word of affirmation is also an option* The System answered again performing its duty of readi
They made their way through the forest; the forest path was not as thick as when they had entered and if was easier for them to move freely. The path was strangely filled with corpses of dead beasts, they all had their gems taken out of them, and it was done by a human due to the way it was expertly carved out. Kade was busy playing with his element, he had wrapped a ring of fire around his finger and he kept on swirling it around, twisting it into different shapes, he was concentrating hard enough that he didn’t look ahead and bumped into a hard figure. Kade had fallen down to the floor, his concentration broken, and his ring of fire extinguished.“Watch what you are going. You…” Kade raised his head, and he was shaken to the core. A man stood before him, he looked he had just crawled out of the belly of a huge animal, with blood staining him from head to toe, he had some strange looking thing, and Kade was sure that it was probably part of the intestinal organs of a beast.He jolte
