Chapter 6

Skills. Track. Strike with the most terrible weapon.

I woke up already in the morning. A moment later, I was filled with pop-up windows, which were impossible to brush aside, and they very quickly blocked my view.

The Observation skill is increased. Current level: 2

Description: Now you can see a little more than before. Perhaps you will be able to spot such a cute bear early.

Note: Although… not likely.

So, turn off this explanation. And at the same time significantly reduce the message that pops up at a critical level of hitpoints.

Achievement earned: "Tom and Jerry Ι"

Description: Like the ancient immortals, you managed to get out alive from a fight with an enemy whose level is more than 10 times yours, with a critical health bar that you restored without using potions.

Reward: The ability to become invulnerable for one second.

Class: Epic

Achievement earned: Marathon Runner Ι

Description: Running at the limit of your abilities can bring not only good, but also harm. However, there are situations in which a long run is simply necessary. 

Reward: 

+ 5% run duration; -1 health every second while running at full capacity, for more than ten seconds.

Class: Ordinary

A new property of Amanita Pantherny "Death Corrosive" has been discovered!

The skill "Cognition of the essence" has been studied.

Description: Using a random item in an unexpected situation can lead to many new discoveries. But it is much better to use an inquisitive mind and a tenacious eye, which, when studied, are able to reveal new properties of something.

Note: But people like you do not understand this ...

Class: Fancy

Skill level: 1

It seems that the game overestimated me a little, although the notes should be turned off somehow. Would like to know how to do it. I didn't even notice this feature...

You dealt 1 damage to the bone bear. damage, health 898/1000!

You dealt 1 damage to the bone bear. damage, health 1/1000!

Bone Bear ignores damage.

Wow! This mushroom was doing 1 damage all night long! So the effect can do this to any undead, lowering their health to a minimum. It is necessary to check this.

Acquired the skill "Athletics".

Description: Running, jumping and rolling allowed you to get on the path to strengthening your own body.

Skill Class: Normal

Skill level: 1

How many things, already in the eyes ripples! A lot of interesting things, especially invulnerability for one second. Maybe someone will think that all this is nonsense, but only the short-sighted think like that. After all, such an opportunity will allow you to block one attack of the enemy, regardless of its strength! 

That is, now I can survive one divine slap in the face. Inspires, give two such achievements, and preferably three. The marathon runner is also not bad, but the decrease in health during a long run is not encouraging. 

Athletics will allow you to move better in this world and become stronger. But with the fly agaric was lucky. Okay, okay, I'm damn lucky! It is thanks to the fly agaric that I was able to survive and deserve these achievements. So, sir, we should get up and gain experience for the fifth level.

- Crunch! There was a rather familiar sound.

The hand was holding something sharp and cold, and I even knew what it was. But I didn’t want to look in that direction as horror. Yes, but my curiosity had a different opinion.

Elk-Tar of the Bone Bear

Description: The bone bear  is  a very creepy creature that collects bones in any available places in order to strengthen its body. Because of this, you will never meet two identical individuals. However, there is one thing that unites them all. 

When key levels are reached, these monsters will have spikes on their backs, which are long vertebrae. Skulls can be very different, it all depends on the size of the bear and his luck in the search, because they themselves do not grow.

Note: This Elk-Tar has a human skull, which is quite rare. Moreover, he was able to partially retain his mind, so he should be very careful with him, especially inexperienced necromancers.

Item class: Very Rare. 

Class Restrictions: Necromancer.

This is what came up. I was very happy with this turn of events and already imagined how I would beat every creature I met with this skull, earning almost free experience. However, all my dreams were shattered into dust.

Elktar deals 12 damage to you. damage, your health is 18/30!

- You bastard!!! I cried out in pain and tried to tear the skull from my hand.

It hurts like an infection! Why did such an evil skull surrender to me ?! Well, go to your inventory! You will lie there until better times, a figment of the imagination of sick game designers. Yes, and they called it somehow tricky. Interestingly, is there some kind of trick in the name too? Will have to find out more. 

Now nothing prevented him from relaxing and finishing off the bear. The main thing is that the damage should pass, otherwise I didn’t strike him directly. What to steam?! It is also necessary not directly to finish him off. Or will they not give you experience? Although ... the damage was counted, so the experience should be given. 

When I left the house, the question popped up in front of me - where to look for this bear? Crap! I didn't think of that, am I stupid? You've got the new achievement "Fool", your thoughts are jumping like dumplings in a boiling pot, and your actions are devoid of logic. If there was such an achievement, I would have received it even before the creation of the character. 

I quickly found the place where I fought, or rather ran away from the bear. Finding traces of such a giant turned out to be quite problematic, no matter how ridiculous it may sound. Of course, deep furrows were everywhere: in the trees, and on the ground, and even on a few stones. But where to go was absolutely not clear. 

You have discovered the hidden!

Indeed, among the heap of leaves on the ground, a lilac droplet of some liquid was barely visible. Yeah, most likely this is the poison left over from the fly agaric. Well, well, maybe there's another one somewhere? And as if on cue, his gaze caught on another drop nearby.

You have discovered the hidden! 

Great, now it will be possible to pump observation and find a trace. And so it happened. 

I followed the trail for at least an hour. Strong bastard, managed to go far. Somewhere along the way the trees were turned into heaps of wood chips. There were deep scratches everywhere from giant claws, and the ground had also been dug up. 

It seems that the poison, although it took away few hit points, caused truly terrible pain. It’s just not clear how a pile of bones can feel this very pain? After a while, a message popped up in front of my eyes.

You have learned the Pathfinder skill.

Description: Using your powers of observation and excellent eyesight, you were able to spot the trail and managed to successfully follow it for a long time. This path was quite difficult and as a result, it will become much easier for you to get on the next track.

Skill Class: Uncommon

Skill level: 1

Now let's live! Such a skill in the forest is the most, and not only in the forest. It can be used everywhere. Find a trail that will help you safely pass the dungeon, find lost allies in a big city, and even a thief, of whom there are a lot in the crowd. In general, a lot of opportunities, but all this is probably at high levels, so you need to diligently pump this skill, however, like the others. 

Then I heard a strong roar and a powerful blow. The bone monster fought against the stone with all its carcass, then tried to split its skull by hitting a tree, but its health did not decrease. 

It's a pity, because from a similar blow, when he ran after me, his health bar sank by more than five percent, and now at least henna. Maybe he has some kind of ability that prevents final death? In general, it is strange that the poison affects the undead, however, this is a game, so why not.

So, how to kill this bear? Can I bang him with that skull that lies in my inventory? Nah, it will be of no use, and even this infection will bite me. And there's really nothing more. Hell, I didn't even think to take any weapon, even a stick! Before that, he fought with anything. This unfortunate omission needs to be corrected. 

Moving away from this place, I looked at one snag, something like a paw with sharp claws. Without thinking twice, I tore this very paw from the driftwood and looked at my new weapon.

Rotten oak stick

Description: An ordinary stick, broken off by someone short-sighted from an oak that fell many years ago. Very fragile due to long exposure to time. Completely useless in fights with monsters, except that it will do as a toothpick for some types of undead.

Item class: Common. Durability 4/10. Damage: 2-3.

How did this system get me! Woo-gh! Okay, no need to get angry, you need to calm down. Interestingly, all this needs to be studied and checked. And I didn’t care about such a description, it’s enough for one attack. 

I'll hit this bear in the teeth and everything will be all right. Gathering all his determination, he moved towards the bear. When there were twenty steps to the monster, I ran to this monster. 

The bear turned around and got hit in the teeth with such force that the stick in my hands was covered with cracks, and its strength was halved. I managed to note that my fly agaric flew out of the monster’s mouth, I will have to pick it up if I don’t die now.

    Chapter 8Echo of the Gardens of Death. Bear target. Cunning Guardian.I stood near the stone for a good half an hour, or rather evil, because I did not understand at all what the bear needed from the stone. Any bone fleas tortured him, and he decided to scratch himself? Somehow, I highly doubt it. If I had an extra stick of dynamite, I would gladly blow up this obstacle. I sat down on this ill-fated stone and continued to think. Slightly dozed off, after which I almost fell, so I decided to lie down and rest right here. You never know what I can do, or maybe my luck will work. I did not rest for long, until from a rather comfortable position I bumped sideways into something sharp. It was a piece of bone, barely peeking out from under the stone. An attempt to move him away was unsuccessful. Even the lever from the first shaft that came across did not help much, there was a catastrophic lack of strength. Forgive me, conscience, but you have to invest a little in this parameter. Ther

Old coin.“Just wait, I would like to ask you something,” I stopped the goblin, who was about to disappear spectacularly. “I met a creature called a bone bear here. Do you happen to know anything about this?The guardian of the forest and the fox looked at each other meaningfully, as a result of which it immediately became clear that there was information. Still, well done, these developers, how nice it is to see true emotions on people's faces ... and ahem ... in general, it's understandable.– Stranger, have you already seen this monster? The fox's voice was surprised, and after I nodded, she continued. – This is another unusual creature that lives here, but unlike other monsters, it is straight from the Gardens of Death. Try to avoid such creatures by any means, as you cannot defeat them.“Um… but me.” Words won’t be enough, so I took out the elk-tar from my bag. “Killed one recently.- How?! How did you do this?! the fox exclaimed. – No mat

    Introduction from the authorThoughts about the world of Warcraft and its heroes will be expressed here, and therefore it is absolutely not necessary to read these lines, however, it is here that I will state the reasons why the characters of my book behaved in this way and not otherwise, and the events took such a turn.To begin with, the world of Warcraft is unusually bright and colorful, filled with many races, types of magic and heroes, and I really respect those people who created it. Deciding to write a fanfic about this world, I took care to read a book about it, fortunately, I chose the period from the very beginning of history - the time of the existence of the Well of Eternity, which means that all I needed was to read Richard Knaack's trilogy "War of the Ancients". And here I realized that we were not on the same path with the canon ...Why so? Will explain. The fact is that I am quite normal about the existence of a division into dark and light side in books and I don’t ev

This land knew no worries, was primordial and seemed to have existed unchanged since the beginning of time.But this pacification did not touch me at all, for several minutes now I had been looking at the miserable bush, which, on the instructions of the teacher, was supposed to grow in breadth and up, and with every minute I was losing patience more and more. Because this crappy plant was completely unwilling to do what was asked of it. It ate the provided energy with pleasure and joy, but at the same time it almost did not change."Well done, Malfurion, you're doing a great job," Cenarius said in his usual wise and satisfied voice, and the irritation in my soul jumped to new heights.Of course, Malfurion ma

However, I used to get up early before, so this did not frighten me.“You see, from time to time, our dear government seeks to send me, a highly respected magician, into another hole, the hottest place at the moment on the border of our lands. However, I, like some other magicians of my level, always have an alternative.

    From that day on, my life became a series of recurring events. I would get up in the morning and spend two hours practicing Rush, usually enough to drain my reserve by three-quarters. Following this, I practiced passing the obstacle course. Do not think that this band was one and the same. Kerantil was still an experienced mentor and therefore created a complex that almost instantly changed its parameters, and every time it seemed to the magician that his student passed obstacles too easily, the conditions of the strip became more complicated.Did I get stronger? To be frank, I could not give an exact answer to this question for a very long time, but on the twentieth night, Kerantil greeted me with unexpected news.“Student, tell me, what is the most important thing in mastering magic?”All sorts of answers came to mind, mostly based on the words of the teacher, but then I decided to discard them all and say what I think:- A wish.— Ha!

    Fifty-two years had passed since that day, and now I stood before Soeril once again, activating "Protection" on my swords. The weapon glowed with a bright, almost blinding light from the force invested in it, capable of cutting through even the skin of a dragon. True, just cut through, to kill these lizards it would be necessary to concentrate even more energy in the swords, but they simply would not withstand such a concentration.The final fight will have to show what I have achieved during the training. The blood boils in my veins, my consciousness is ready to flood with rage, but these feelings do not bother me anymore, but make the world around me clearer and speed up my consciousness.Teleport activation, and my opponent appears from behind, the blow of his sword meets the void, and I already deliver a series of quick blows, so much so that for myself they almost merge into an indistinguishable whirlwind of steel.

    As a result, Sayuki gave Saeko her poster, and she left, saying again that she would be glad to see me in her club.I got a lesson in calligraphy, making sure in the process that I didn’t get any talent in this area. The kanji came out crooked and completely unattractive. And even two hours of practice could not change the final result. As soon as I corrected one error, another immediately got out, which did not exist before. It seemed as if I was trying to drag the sofa through a narrow doorway, into which, in any case, only two corners could pass, while I stubbornly tried to shove the unpushable, stupidly alternating the corners.I would call my situation not just a lack of talent, but rather the presence of an anti-talent.

    After meeting with Shizuka, the rest of the day flew by unnoticed and the next one came. In addition to the usual trip to school, today Meiko and I have a trip to the gym planned.Although the girl cannot be called pleasant in communication, for some reason she is more attractive to me than the same Yuika Koga.

    The weekend ended earlier than I, or any other student, would have liked.It's not that I don't like school, no, I have to admit that there are many advantages to such a pastime. However, I would like some variety. At the math lesson, I again thought about the need to find a source of income. Up to this point, I have only spent coins, but do not forget about the possibility of exchanging the real world currency for the system one.The main difficulty is that, due to my age, only part-time jobs are available to me in all kinds of conbinis and cafes. However, the salary for such jobs does not exceed 150,000 yen. It is not difficult to calculate that the time and effort spent will not pay off. Well, in fact, a whole month of work is equivalent to one successful sexual act. No, this definitely doesn't suit me.I can't even register a business. But then what?

    When I got home, I found Mama and Mizuha sitting at the kitchen table. The piercing gazes scanned my body, giving me goosebumps. I felt as if I didn’t go home, but to the KGB major’s office.- Son, how long have you been playing tricks with older ladies? Mom was the first to break the silence, bursting into a rather unexpected question.“Could you clarify who exactly you mean?” I asked innocently, as if not capturing all the oppressive atmosphere emitted by the two frowning girls.So she's not alone yet? - Mom jumped to her feet with an angry look, - Who are these old purses who seduced my son? she demanded, surprising me with her reaction.“Big brother, that car… it belongs to Hiratsuka-sensei, doesn’t it?” “Pushed me closer to the edge of the Mizuha abyss.”- What? Did your teacher seduce you? - Mom came in shock, - Yes, tomorrow I will rip out all her curls! the woman exclaimed fiercely.Yes, that was her. And no, it’s me who seduces her,” I sighed wearily. “Mom, please calm down.

    Morning of the next daySaturday breakfast was extremely awkward. I don’t know why, but my mother was extremely laconic and blushed when our eyes met. I explained this by saying that she was ashamed of yesterday's behavior. Well, or she heard the moans of Mizuha. But I dismissed this option as unlikely. If that were the case, she would have already spoken out about it. I do not think that the disclosure of our relationship could remain without comment on her part.“Don't worry about yesterday, Mom. You were out of your mind,” I said, wanting to ease the woman’s anxiety.- What? Oh, what a shame! Mom said covering her face with her hands. It was as if she was just now remembering the events of the previous day. Am I wrong and the reason for her embarrassment is something else?- Okay, Mom. I don't know what you did, but brother didn't look upset. Quite the contrary, Mizuha joined the conversation.- Mizuha! - I pulled my sister, perfectly feeling where she was leading.- Truth? Ahem, I

    As I expected, when I entered the kitchen, I had a view of my naked sister bustling about near the stove. And if in front of her body was still covered with an apron, then from behind I could see absolutely everything.“Brother, how is your mother?” The girl couldn't help noticing my appearance.“It seems to have been put to bed,” I said, doubting that the woman had really fallen asleep.- Everything is fine? Mizuha asked in a worried voice, “Your face is all red.”“Ahem, my mother behaved a little unbridled,” I said embarrassedly.- OU! - the sister was impressed, - You didn’t do anything strange, did you?“No,” I shook my head, realizing where she was driving.“It’s a pity,” the sister said sadly, returning to cooking.- It's a pity? Are you out of your mind? — I did not share her feelings, having come into natural confusion.“It’s very hard for mom now and your love would not interfere with her,” Mizuha explained her thought, not looking up from the stove.And she will get it, but

    Chapter 27We still had lunch with Komi, but, unfortunately, she did not find the courage to utter at least one more word. That's why I didn't hear her charming voice. And even after my request, the girl, who tried to answer something, uttered only an inarticulate set of sounds, trembling all over with excitement. Realizing that this problem could not be solved so quickly, I did not press on it, relying on the fact that with time Comey would be able to overcome his fears.Despite the fact that we had to communicate through an intermediary in the form of a notebook, the girl was a very pleasant conversationalist, in many ways reminding me of Mizuha. Except that Comey was a little more modest and a lot more innocent. I doubt that there is even a hint of any vulgarity in her thoughts. However, I have more than once convinced myself that my judgments about the girls of this world are often erroneous. Who knows, maybe this cutie will outdo Mizuha and Sayuki combined in terms of perversion.

    The first thing I saw as I approached the school gates was a couple of lovers holding hands. They were my friend Shoma Akiyama and his girlfriend Kohara Otori.“Brother,” Mizuha, who was walking beside me, pulled my sleeve, “Should I call the police?” she asked, glancing at Koharu.“No, this girl is a year older than us, so everything is legal.- Truth? You're not covering for your lolicon friend, are you? My sister doubted the truth of my words.“If you don’t believe me, you can ask her yourself,” I played out a slight insult.- Sorry. I believe you, I'm just worried that your friend will not push you onto the wrong path, Mizuha apologized, hugging my arm.- It is unlikely that this will happen. Even when Koharu straddled me, I held back. Although I must admit that her miniature seductive body still managed to touch some strings in my soul,” I said in a soulful tone, deciding to joke a little.“I would believe you if you didn’t see the way you look at at least a little attractive mat
