Barely recovering from the blow, he, naked and miserable, gathered his courage and, leaving the cemetery, went aimlessly wandering in the tremiteli area where the river calmed down and carried its waters quietly and measuredly. He loved to watch the flow of water. It appeased him.By the river, he saw how it was not clear why a group of newcomers wandered there in a crowd slaughtered a wild boar of the 3rd level. He squealed wildly and resisted, killed two, but he himself was almost killed.Tobias, suddenly for himself, yelled something wildly and with bare fists pounced on the players from behind. In the confusion, the noobs didn't even realize what was going on. He successfully laid down one, two, then a third, after which it was the turn of the boar.Towering over the pile of corpses and trying to catch his breath, he stared happily at the riches that had fallen. One of the dead was well dressed - then Tobias realized that he was a donater. But then he was simply stunned by the sim

The idyll began to crumble when he crossed paths with the Scythians. Tobias forgot about their first meeting, the one at which he met Vista. Noob tore her dress, and Tobias made the right impression on the girl.But the next day, what is usually called the beginning of the end began, but trying to bargain for a blue belt from a noob, the Cliff did not even suspect it. Of course, it was worth doing smarter - to track and select the shoes where the Scythian would have been defenseless. But seeing a frail thing that would have gone great to Rashidos - and he at that moment thought only about strengthening the ward - the Cliff lost his head.Scythian was a crank who sat for almost a year and a half at the "Wild Flask", and an unexpected refusal unpleasantly surprised Tobias. The noob made him look like some kind of moron! From a very early age, as soon as the boy learned to make out speech, his parents called him a moron, and to hear this from someone else?! And Scythian, he was sure, tha

Alliance of PreventionsSeven hours ago, my character Scythian became a "threat" with the highest possible potential. "Threat" A-class! It happened during an encounter with the Sleeping God Hippopotamus, whose fading avatar I found in Bolotin.When the Hippopotamus disappeared, instructing me to build the first temple of the Sleepers, I came out of Dis, climbed out of the capsule and, barely moving my legs, collapsed into bed. Sleep was restless, and three hours later I woke up from a nightmare.Waking up angry and broken, the top "threat" began to furiously put the apartment and herself in order. This also applied to studies. The number of missed days at school reached a critical point, and I had no doubt that parents had already been notified. A few calls I didn't respond to and an angry message from my mom were proof of that.So I hurriedly made up for lost time by studying the textbooks. At this time, my classmate Tissa called to find out how I was doing and where I was after the

He was right. The high civic status of my parents can give me points and make the commission more favorable. Or maybe not, these are only rumors, but persistent, and statistics confirm them.Although, probably, the whole thing is that high-status families have more opportunities to give their offspring better health, social skills and training from childhood, if not to say from the moment of conception. Genetic adjustments cost a lot of money, but they are possible and available to almost everyone, just pay.Mr. Kovacs stared at me for a long time, but finally the wrinkle between his eyebrows smoothed out, his nostrils stopped swelling menacingly, and he sat down on a chair and continued in his usual tone, as if there had not been that flash:An hour ago, I filed a petition with the Department of Education for a temporary ban on your character in Disgardium. He gave all the formal justifications, including taking into account your potential value to society... this world, not Dis. The

The letter from Snowstorm came while I was still spending time with Ed's "dementors." No matter how much I clouded my brain with strong alcohol, I was smart enough not to read the letter right away.Closing the screen, I looked at the notification in the communicator, extracted the name of the corporation from the floating text and immediately closed it until the curious Tisza read. She sat between me and Ed, occasionally touching me with her shoulder and hair, and put her hand on my knee a couple of times. To be fair, the other palm was lying on Ed's knee at the same time, as if our legs were replacing her missing chair handles.Soon I felt that I had swam and my tongue was about to finally untie – not so much from the unusual alcohol, but from the soulfulness of the gatherings and friendly warmth.I said goodbye crumpled, but they wouldn't let me leave alone. The whole company came out to walk to the flyer, Hang made sure that I had named the destination correctly, then they hugged

Who wants to be a billionaire?The islet where I met the Hippopotamus increased in the two weeks of my absence due to lower water levels and overgrown with grass. Nothing reminded me of the Sleeping God – he apparently poured the remnants of the accumulated energy into me, giving strength to new skills, and now he was dozing off in anticipation of new adepts and the temple.At the moment of immersion, I managed to think about how the richness and brightness of life change the perception of time: after the news of my parents' divorce, I spent a week in Dis, and after the ban from Greg, I did not come here two, but it seemed different. It's like I've lived in a world of "might and magic" all my life, been banished from it, and am finally coming back. It's a strange feeling, especially considering how bored I used to be at Disa.For a while, I pondered where to start. Burnt envelope icons notifying of new letters, system messages about unselected class and unallocated characterization po

In that part of the "Wild Flask", where Big Po and his fighters are freely located, the space seems to have died out. People, moving around the hall, bypassed the free tables around the "Axiom".The reason became clear when I got closer and hit an invisible veil. Under my pressure, she succumbed, but it felt as if I was back in the quagmire of the Swamp - the body was pressuring from all sides, my ears were laid, and it became harder to breathe. What was said at the table of the top clan was not audible, but I saw how Big Po moved his lips, the veil disappeared, and I fell into the "bubble" by inertia.At the same time, almost all the axioms stood up and, pushing my shoulders a couple of times, headed for the exit of the tavern. I noticed the name of one of those who left us, JJ, a level 19 bard, the former leader of the Night Stalkers clan, who became the deputy of Big Poe after unification.Only two remained - next to Wesley Chow sat a girl with huge blue eyes, shaved temples and a
