So I wandered into the gun shop to appreciate and quickly walked out, mentally swearing and cursing the greedy merchant. The most wretched knife with a "2-3" damage was worth six silver coins.Hoping to quickly earn some weapons, I walked back to the city council building. There was a bulletin board with current "dailys," that is, paid community service that was repeated day after day:Cleaning of city streetsFull-time.Requirements: None.Reward: 1 copper coin, 1 experience point.Delivery of postal correspondenceFull-time.Requirements: dexterity 5+.Reward: 2 copper coins, 2 experience points.WeedingFull-time.Requirements: the craft of herbology.Reward: 2 copper coins, 2 experience points.Protection of the border with MrakolesyeFull-time.Requirements: level 10+.Reward: participation in the division of loot, 10 silver coins, 30 experience points.In total, I counted a couple of dozen tasks, but on each there was a stamp: "Not available. Come tomorrow!" well, logically. The

A new task is available: "Hunting for Rats".Tristad's archivist Jean-Louis Thoran wants you to destroy the 10 rats that have taken root in the basement of the city's archives.Rewards: 1 silver coin, 20 experience points.I gladly accepted the quest, but deep down I shuddered. After yesterday's rabbits, rats could be real monsters...- Be careful, Scythian! Thoran told me and shook his head sadly. - Recently, an Ursai wild cat was brought in to get rid of rats...- So what?"They tore the cat apart," the archivist sobbed.Carefully going down to the basement, I froze in front of the door, the premonition was very bad. He gathered a full chest of air and, growling, broke inside, ready to tear and kill...And after a dozen deaths, without killing anyone, he abandoned the task. Nimble Level 1 Basement Rats laid me down with a few bites. I had to do a bunch of punches, constantly missing to shoot at least a unit of life. With a screech, the wounded rodent hid behind the backs of comrades

- Understood. I just thought... What if you want to...- I want what? - It is better to break off immediately, before the impulse has led to unjustified hopes.- Maybe... Maybe we'll see it together? She blurted out in one breath. - Well... materials of the expedition...- Sorry, not today. Parents are engaged in a new project, I do not want them to be distracted because of us.I tactfully said "us", although I meant only her. Father and mother finally received some simple order, but the client is capricious, and it is better to reduce all risks to a minimum. We've been very tight with money lately.Dad suspects that Mom has shashni on the side, which is why he is increasingly attached to the bottle, and after drinking, he becomes paranoidly suspicious and aggressive. Mom, of course, is not satisfied with this: she silently leaves the house and returns in the morning. She definitely has someone.Their constant showdowns spoil the mood so much that you do not even want to do homework.

- Definitely clever. Yeah, guys?"All he can do is crack his tongue, Crawler," Bomb Truck replied. "Do you want me to slap it without any moral remorse?" I can also..."Leave it," Tisza interrupted. - We're wasting time!She turned around to leave, but Rodriguez still got her way. No matter what I said, their words hurt me, and I wanted to answer."Hey Ed," I called out to him. - You know what?- What? He reacted, trembling.At the end of the day, it's just a game. Nothing more! No matter how much you guys here make of yourself cool, who is worth what, real life will show ...They listened intently, everyone, even Tisza, but remained silent, and I continued:And you know that no matter how hard you try, you live in the real world. And then, if you're lucky enough to take a citizenship test. Otherwise... Virtual mines? Work on plantations? Street cleaning? Is that life?Not a single muscle trembled on the faces of the "dementors". Only a slight shadow ran down Tisza's cheeks: she lost

Return to the gameThere was no mood to watch the materials of the Martian expedition, given that my way there is closed, and maybe even forever. After all, I will not receive a scholarship, for this you need to be an outstanding student within the framework of at least your city, and we have enough guys and smarter ones. Ed Rodriguez may think I'm a "smart guy," but I've never been so passionate about studying as to go beyond the mandatory program.I don't know how much I failed, staring aimlessly at the ceiling. I did not pay attention to the parental scandal in the living room, which broke out with renewed vigor, nor to the signals of the communicator.The familiar world was crumbling, and I was frantically thinking about how to put it back together, refusing to accept the new reality and hoping that everything could be fixed. I even tried to talk to my mom and dad again, but I got under the hot hand, and things got even worse. They seemed to hate each other so much that they didn

- And before that time was wasted?- It wasn't interesting. I shrugged, not knowing what else to say about my inaction in Dis.- It happens. But it's sad. And you know why? Because we don't lend! For some reason, smiling, the girl announced. - Hear, Ned! Retreat! The client is cashless! It's empty!- What? He yelled, throwing back some shoulder pads in his hearts and raising his head. "Why are you fooling me and wasting my time, slacker?"Underweight finished with the selection of equipment and was not going to continue. He stood up from behind the makeshift counter and looked angrily, swelling his nostrils. A head shorter than the girl, although a man, not a dwarf, which looked funny.- And it wasn't in my mind, dear Nedoves. I immediately said that I was pricing, not going to buy. So can you tell me what you wanted to sell me?He looked incredulously, figured something out and blurted out in a smile:- I apologize for this... Flash. It's because of a misunderstanding. Our small but

- The Abyss!He slammed his brass glove against the wall and wrinkled his forehead, thinking he would squeeze me out of me."Dragging myself to the judge, Gail?" One of the guards asked disgruntledly. - Maybe, well, his...- Into the Abyss! Gail said the verdict. "Come on, guys. And you, Scythian, stay away from Tristad. You're not officially welcome here!Your reputation with the city of Tristad is downgraded: −5.Current reputation: distrust.The guards left, instantly forgetting about me. In their minds, they were already drinking with friends and playing cards at the tavern table.I looked at the reputation progress bar with the city: not hostility yet, but it's near. I can't bring it to this in any case, otherwise I will not get into the city.Okay, that's okay. Due to social quests, you can restore and increase the level of turnips at least to friendliness. This will increase trading discounts, I will be given more interesting tasks, and in general will make life in Tristad more

- Cliff? Tissa laughed. - Did that loser stand up for some skirt?- Exactly.- Don't take it in mind, he's a jerk, of which there are few. That's why without a clan it goes, that it is thrown out of everywhere. He's so...- And the abyss is with him! I interrupted. It dawned on me. "Listen, it's great that I met you, maybe you can help?" I have a quest in the temple. Something out there in...- Yours? Quest? Her eyes rounded in amazement, but Tissa was even more surprised when she saw Eve. - And this princess has forgotten here?"Not 'this princess,' but Eve," I corrected, hoping that the lagging friend wouldn't hear.- Ah, I don't care. What did you want to ask?- First Counsellor Whitaker said something was going on in the basement of the temple. I need to check what's out there.- Pf-f... I'll tell you so. There's an undead! Well, you know, the skeletons, the zombies and the boss there are petty but extremely unpleasant faces. I recently went through this assignment with my friends

- 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
