The Curse of the UndeadI slept through school. The smart alarm clock assessed the extent of my lack of sleep and did not brutalize. The hard wake mode on it was turned off.Judging by the notes that I looked through, opening my eyes, my father returned home in the morning, and he was not on his feet, his clothes were in the mud, and it seems that he crawled from the flyer to the apartment. Mom didn't sleep all night, although when she herself disappeared for the night, Dad's experiences were before the light bulb.In general, they completely forgot about me, deciding that my son somehow flew unnoticed to school, but I was dead at this time. Killed once so five hundred.I woke up in the afternoon feeling completely overwhelmed. Eita was trampling on my chest, making a measured, contented rumbling. He is able to feel the mood and transforms into a cat, then into a dog. True, somehow he failed - the firmware update was incorrectly installed - and, remaining a cat, he ran around the hous
By evening, almost half of the mobs in this part of the forest were trying to get me. There were huge spiders, and black rats, and fetid corpses, and other deaths, and even one rare cursed bear with ribs out. All this brotherhood, actively interfering with each other, piled on me: biting, gnawing, scratching, trying to tear apart, plunging into an acid fog, enveloping me in cobwebs and spitting poison. And if immediately after the activation of the curse of the undead, the pain ceased to be felt, then with an increase in damage, it began to increase. There was no time to think about the reasons, but later I decided that this was some hidden negative effect of the skill.That's just the fatigue was accumulating. A couple of times I just sat on the ground, littered with a bunch of monsters, and rested. I waited for the cheerfulness indicator to recover, and then I got up and continued to methodically mow down their rows. Unarmed combat increased to level 30, improving the accuracy of st
CrusherI ran in the dark through the night forest, drenched in cold sweat. Complete regeneration was supposed to take seventeen minutes, and until that time I can't catch the eye of the "dementors". Otherwise, everything is in vain – split, identified as a "threat" and smashed. What a joy!The potential threat to L is not some pathetic Z-Class necromancy with potential Y. For the elimination of such a unit, Edu and company will be showered with as many buns as they could only dream of. And they will catch up with me easily, under such and such a buff of the priestess at the speed of movement. Hopefully something has delayed them.The trunks of dead trees flew by, and their dry branches peeled off the skin. Finally, I ran to a familiar red cockroach gully and lay there. Fortunately for me, not a single mob saged on the way, and my health gradually regenerated: 72% ... 81%... 97%...My heart, which was threatening to escape from my chest, calmed down. I even ventured out and immediatel
.Generating the agro, the warrior stuck the sword into the ground, and from this place a vibration passed, which took the glasses of life even from me. All the mobs pounced on him. Yew clenched her lips and focused only on the tank as a healing green discharge stretched from her outstretched arm to Hang.- Focus on Fire! Ed commanded.This is the first time I've seen it. Calm, confident, knowing what he is doing and what needs to be done next. He stuck a fiery bolt into the wool of one of the summoned wolves, and it caught fire. The infect with the Bomb Truck switched to it and took it out in a few seconds.- Next! Ed announced, throwing a fireball.In this manner, they cleaned up all the addas and switched again to the leader of the pack. His life points crept down confidently.At this point, I was spotted by Tissa swallowing a potion of mana. Dropping the empty vial, she shouted:- Alex! Idiot! Run from here to fig! Run...And I ran. We all ran because the Crusher howled terribly.
Validity: 10 seconds.Range: 10 meters.Glory to the hero!Would you like to make your name public? This will give +100 points to the reputation with the city of Tristad and +5 points to fame.No! As much as I would like an easy reputation with the city, but unnecessary attention? In fig, in fig. I gave up the honorary privilege.Global notification throughout the sandbox!A player who wished to remain anonymous committed the first murder of the local boss of the Crusher in Mrakolesya! Residents and guests of Tristad! Greet the player who wished to remain anonymous! Glory to the hero! Glory to the player who wished to remain anonymous!Not a second later, I was showered with offers of "friendship" from Krawler, Bomb Truck and Infect. From Tisza there were messages:- What the?- How?- Tell me it's not you!- Though no, you're better off!- We'll be soon!I accepted friendships with guys, and to the girl's contradictory messages were added straightforward ones from them:- What happen
Gunkers and "dementors"Myriad stars lit up the wasteland behind the city wall. The illegal traders left, and I didn't notice anyone who could come to the rescue.If the Cliff thought that my agreement to give up a rare Belt of distorted scales automatically meant that I would die at his hands without resistance, then he was mistaken. Moreover, now the point of giving him anything at all has completely disappeared.I didn't want to do it in a good way, we'll do it badly. All these thoughts swept through in an instant as I reached for the activation of the Terrible Howl. At the same time, I shifted toward Vista, dodging the air-dissecting sword of the Cliff. A wolf howl announced the surroundings from the city walls to the edge of the forest, but it was, to put it mildly, uninspiring.The cliff flinched, Rashidos' jaw dropped perplexedly, and only Vista's skill worked as it should. The girl squealed and in a panic rushed from her seat, opening the way for me. I gave a dera...... but d
- What? - The crawler choked on such arrogance."What kind of heresy are you carrying, Scythian?! Bomb Truck asked, picking up his jaw. "Did the Cliff hit you on the head, or what?"Yew silently grabbed the air with her mouth, but her eyes laughed. I realized that the best way to hide the main thing is to reveal the secondary. The abyss with him, maybe it will roll.- In short, dementors, let's do that! I gestured to call them closer. - I prove that I could have knocked down the rarnik myself, I explain how it happened, and you are lagging behind me. And you don't claim loot from the boss. That's a bargain?The crawler looked mockingly at my outstretched hand. Hang shoved him in the shoulder:- Come on!- Okay, Scythian. - The crawler shook hands, and the rest of the "dementors" put theirs on top. - At the same time, you can explain to us how you took three levels in less than three days.- OK. Then stand here, I'll be back now.They didn't have time to answer, only Infect murmured so
- The Abyss, Alex! Ed cracked his fist against the wall next to my head. - What the fuck?"God, guys, Tisza, do you even realize you're suffering from?" Who taught you how to negotiate like that? I can complete this dungeon myself when I level up. That's the first thing. And secondly, you can't drag me in by force! Let's say I joined a group, we went to Inst, you died. I can just not use the Rebirth Stone! Have you not been taught that cooperation implies mutual benefit? You will get what you want. And me? Why would I share my experience and loot with you?- I said he won't sign! Malik shouted. - Yew, it was always clear that he was cunning! What about the fact that he started playing? He remained the same Alex on his mind Sheppard, whom we have known since the first grade!Ed played with jellybeans and then frowned and said:"Hang, let him go." Let it fall.- In vain we helped him yesterday! Malik continued to be angry. - It wasn't worth it!"Not a damn thing for nothing," Ed disagre
- I see! God interrupted me. "When you came for the first time, I took a cast of the weaves and did the same now. You've gotten stronger. Now you control the manifestation of the infection... Well, well, well... Strikingly! This is the primitive, crude, but effective magic of the flesh, multiplied by the infinity of the Abyss. And, unsurprisingly, she only works with aliens to this world like you. Any local curse would devour in a matter of days, transforming it into a thoughtless creature and completely subordinating it to the Plague Pestilence. But not you! Your natural capacity to regenerate is stronger than a curse...And if I lose that primitive ability, it's going to get a lot harder for me."You won't lose it," Hippopotamus said. "Rebuild the temple, and I will have enough strength to give you something like this.I'm not going to get there in the next three months, Sleeper. The island you were talking about is outside the territory where I, an alien, can be. And the plague pla
However, we did not manage to bite into it. Leach surrounded himself with an impenetrable veil of orange marev and howled long. The sound that announced the surroundings chilled the blood in my veins. The call was answered: the dead and skeletons crawled out of the ground, and in the forest a piercing banshee assured. Ed was wrong, the boss had add-ons.- Bom, take it away! Yew, join the boss for now! Krawler shouted. - You have extra damage to the undead! Scythian, what can you do?- Don't let the Bomb Truck get distracted, I'll take the adds on myself! Yissa, I'm not sick!I activated the curse of the undead again and ran in a spiral, pulling the dead onto myself. Levels 14-15, regular mobs, but a lot. I crushed the bones and punched the gaping holes in their bodies, tearing off the skulls of skeletons with a hammer and blowing the rotting flesh of zombies to shreds. The Cretes laid them down immediately, after the usual blows they had to finish them off, but I did not stop. A minut
At the sight of Nagual, the guys were not confused. Killing the non-resisting "threat", they had to tinker, but the liquidation procedure went as it should. "I banish you from Disgardium forever!" exclaimed Hang pathetically, sticking a dagger into the heart of the dead Nagual in those few seconds before the corpse was yet incarnate.Crawler, Ed's new character, named after the endless crawling of caves and tunnels, received some money from the developers, an epic cape and a constant bonus of + 10% to the speed of gaining experience. But the involuntary preventions Infect and Bomb Carrier took bonuses more seriously: a folio of fire magic, a folio of light magic, ten thousand gold, a scalable epic sword and a similar dagger.As a result, this became the starting capital of the Dementora clan, which Tissa soon joined. Krawler became a fire mage, Tissa became a light mage, and the future classes of Infect and Bomb Carrier were affected by the epic blades divided between them.- Amazing
- I don't understand why he's going to? Could have come to me, Crowler muttered as he followed the Bomb Truck. - Or to the guys, if you don't want to go to me."First of all, your grandmother doesn't love me," Tissa began to make excuses. - Secondly, her father will start calling her first, as she did that time. Thirdly, Malik has a full house of relatives, and in such bedlam only people like Infect can survive. Hang, by the way, is no better, only the still smelly spices all smelly!- Easier, Sister! Bomb Truck rebuked. - When you devoured dim sum and pork in honey sauce, something I did not hear from you such complaints!"Oh well, you," Tissa shrugged off. "And most importantly, I have already promised Alex's parents that I will return. Uncle Mark wanted to talk about Dis, and Aunt Helen said she would cook a special dinner and an abyss of stories about the little Sheppard. So the choice here is unequivocal!We walked out to an abandoned hut. According to Bombovoz, it periodically t
- A lot, Mr. Whitaker. The fight was not easy.- Oh, believe me, I have the information. It is no coincidence that the reward has been waiting for its heroes for so long! But let me conclude, as I said, I am in a hurry, and I still have another briefing with the guests who first came to Tristad. Take the reward for the ogre man-eater. He spoiled the nerves of our farmers and collectors of unusual healing herbs, which, as luck would have it, grow only in those parts where Wat'al fished.The bags evaporated from the palm of my hand as soon as I poured the gold coins into my backpack. I've never felt so rich here or in the real world."Thank you very much for participating in the life of the city, Scythian," the adviser said goodbye. - Keep up the good work, and I'll find you more entertaining if you're interested in becoming even more useful.At the entrance to the building, "dementors" were already waiting for me. The crawler quietly uttered:-Extend your hand. I'll put in an epic, rem
"You're as adventurous as your father," mom liked to say. - If you are seriously interested in something, then you give yourself to it with your head and for a long time ... until the next hobby."Now I'm very interested in Dysgardium. Enthusiasm and courage were superimposed on the anger of Wesley Chow's cheeky behavior, multiplied by an innate heightened sense of justice, warmth felt for the "dementors", and affection for Tisza. But still, before letting my heart make a decision, I calculated everything. At least, I tried, based on the available data and logical conclusions.What I had in mind about big po was based on a lot of "ifs." Too big. For success, many factors must converge, and some of them were so far only hypotheses. Nevertheless, the idea of competing with the Axiom was breathtaking.After school, Tisza and I flew to the guys at the regional hospital. We met in a park full of centuries-old oak trees, on a serene alley by the fountain, which, unfortunately, did not work
- Possibly."Have you been with them?"- The thing is, no! Tissa said as if she could have prevented the attack. "They flew alone because my father took me. Above the dump, their flyer suddenly went off the route and landed.- How so?- Manual control was blocked, and someone intercepted the automatic control... Alex, these are either free or those who reflashed the chip, because if they can seize control of the flyer, these are definitely not ordinary bullies!Her words stunned me. Where there is automation, there will always be vulnerabilities and hackers who are ready to crack it, but in ordinary life rarely anyone has encountered this. The network is now much more transparent than in the early years of development, and complete anonymity has become something unattainable. All commes, both integrated into the body and external, were personified and were tied only to their owner. Without a comm, you will not go online, an unauthorized attempt at the same time will be stopped!The Vi
"Where's your brother?" I asked in between, pointing to his empty spot."Chris?" Went upstairs with Raven, I guess Rita shrugged. - As usual.- Do they meet?- Who is "they"? She marveled. - No, what are you! Rey barely broke up with her boyfriend, and they just met Chris today!While Rita got distracted, answering someone's question, the blonde Croaker touched my sleeve:"Hey Alex, can we dance?"The girl seemed pretty to me, and I saw no reason to refuse. But I didn't have time to answer."Krya, can I take you for a minute?" Leaning back in her chair, Rita asked sneakily.The girls moved away, talked about something, and Rita Wood came back alone."The mallard suddenly needed to come out," she said. - So I'll replace it.- Uh... will you replace in what? I blunted." Let's go, Scythian, let's dance. Can?I could. Since childhood, at all family celebrations, Eva invited me to a white dance. The musicians on stage just charged something romantic and, I would say, dull, but there is no
The ogre's legs buckled, and he collapsed with a thud shaking the cave. His grip loosened and I slid over his torso and found myself on my feet. I reached out to watch the loot...A moment later, the tip of a sword protruded from my chest, which immediately disappeared, replaced by a hail of blows. Even though they were very sensitive, they were very sensitive.Turning sharply, I intercepted Utes' arm to take advantage of the power advantage, but the unbelievable happened: the gunker easily freed himself and kicked me in the stomach so that I flew to the far wall of the cave – right into the fire.Player Utes (Tobias Asser) inflicted damage on you: 42.Life points: 865 / 936.Surprise was replaced by understanding – well, of course! He's a warrior, he has more power! For me, it, given the plague energy, does not play a critical role, but for a warrior ... But... There was no time to think about why Stability didn't work or why this guy had such a frenzied, overlapping damage.The clif
