Hey Guys it's me again. Yes I'm so awesome I'm going to do 2 chapters in 1 day.
Special thanks to addicted and maskedcerf for their awesome comments and feedback!
Especially addicted who wrote me a paragraph, I couldn't help but return the favor.
You have 2 tasks:
Write comments for faster uploads!
write recommendation and story ideas in the correct thread!
Also Although I was to lazy to write it in, the character has disabled stat gain tabs until he chooses to see it.
I have also decided that basic combat skills such as slashing will not become skills. Essentially unless it is a fireball or magic it will not become a skill, but it may become a passive.
Anyway enjoy this chapter!!!

The mountain was huge. I felt dwarfed by it's enormity. I was frankly quite intimidated by this mountain. It was substantially bigger than what I was used to (that's what she said... tee hee)
I started my ascent slowly, I was worried that I was about to be jumped again wile I was not paying attention. After a while I reached a point where you could no longer simply walk up the mountain. I had to begin a precarious climb up to the mountain summit. I was climbing for a while and his fingers felt numb. The cold from the mountain was getting to me and I shivered intensely. As I continued my ascent I began to notice how exposed I was. I could see hundreds of feet below the base of the mountain and I was petrified of falling to my death. I saw gruesome imagery of me crashing into the earth below, being shattered into tiny fragments.
Regardless I continued my ascent. i wasn't about to let some stupid mountain get in the way of my first quest. After a few more hours of perilous climbing I found a small grotto in mountain. I climbed up. I decided that I needed a break from climbing so I investigated. As I entered I received a notification.
You have entered dungeon: Grotto of the Fallen Samurai
As the first person to enter you will receive
- 200% EXP for 1 week.
- 10% better loot
Excited at the idea of easy grinding I rushed into the entrance of the grotto. The grotto had a very musky smell, and was very thin and narrow, which prevented too much horizontal movement. As I continued down the path I saw a clearing before me. As I looked down from the perch within the grotto I saw a horde of zombies, all armored and who appeared like ancient Japanese samurai. I decided this was a perfect way to test out my skill and hopped down. I rushed at them using my toes, and leaped towards them. In a single strike I brought down the first one.
The other 5 looked at me in surprise. They had not expected the sudden ambush. They turned to face me and drew their swords. Before they could attack I rushed another one, bringing down their numbers to only 4. They surrounded me. The situation looked quite bleak. I was only able to one shot the other 2 because of critical hits. In other words a mixture of luck and surprise had allowed me to take them out. I entered my battle stance, and lowered my sword to just below my shoulders. I waited for the first to attack and sidestepped, then i pivoted, jumped in the air and impaled it with my sword. I then turned and did a back flip to avoid a vicious strike from the other one. Meanwhile another one attacked me while I was in the air, I spun midair like a top and did a 360 sweep with my sword, knocking him off his feet. I then leaped onto the shoulders of one zombie, sliced of his head and jumped onto the the zombie still sprawled all over the floor and ended him with a swift and precise strike at the neck. The final zombie looked at me in fear and started sprinting away.
I chased the zombie through the dungeon. Surprisingly he or she (seeing as zombies don't really have genders) was quite fast. I finally decided to use my toe sprinting ability and dashed after it (finally decided to keep it genderless), and slashed it in the back. It sprawled on the floor and I swiftly ended it. Wiping the blood from my blade, I smiled cheerfully, I had defeated 5 enemies by myself without help. I went into my game settings and checked my status update log.

After checking out my stats I headed further into the dungeon. I continued to meet more zombie samurai, and continued killing them slaughtering them rapidly. Using my strategy I was able to make short work of them. As I continued into the tunnel I saw another zombie samurai. This time it appeared to be much stronger. Opposed to it's usual red rusty armor it had darker armor and it held a naginata instead.
I charged towards it fearlessly. It stabbed at me with it's spear, I stepped to the side and lunged with my toes, the effect of the 50% movement speed was substantial and I closed the 5 meter gap almost instantly (That's 16.4 inches for you crazy Yankees). I struck my sword at it, but it simply bounced off it's armor. Aghast at my inability to even dent his armor, I backed off, using my toes to separate us once again. I ran at it again, but this time I slid between it's leg as it tried to attack me and I struck it's private region, though since I am unsure about the anatomy of a zombie samurai, I cannot say that my statement is very accurate. Anyhow I managed to impale him from underneath.
Unfortunately my blade got stuck in that region and I was unable to pull it out. I used my sword as leverage and swung under his legs onto his back, kinda like a piggy back ride. I then grabbed the handle of his naginata and bashed it into his skull. I could see fragments of his head fall onto the ground. He merely shook me off and threw me onto the ground.
You have lost 50 hp
Annoyed I ran at it at full speed and jump kicked it in the face once again, at the same spot as the previous wound. It seemed to do heavy damage as it staggered back. After a few moments of staggering it collapsed onto the ground. I ripped by sword from it's nether region and ended it's life. After collecting my sword, I collected his armor which still remained after the fight. I inspected it to see if it was worth keeping.
Armor of Fallen Samurai

Attack: 0
Defense: 25
Additional Effects:
