Finally, it is done. The story is over.
Not my story, of course, the old man’s life story is finally over.
You can not believe the feeling of the unimaginable amount of relief that washes over me.
People will say that it isn’t that bad.
However, it is.
Think about the day you feel not wanting to do something, like for example, going outside.
But then an emergency phone call related to work, or simply a family trip was in that day.
Now I can say the same, stepping out of the house? It is not that bad. For me that is.
For you, it is an entirely different story and that is why I am relief that this is over with because I am not in the mood for it.
” Ok son just stands there and I’ll do the rest. ”, the old man name ford said.
I kinda like his name, ford. Reminded me of a car brand in my previous world, send a wave of nostalgia through me.
After the hour-long session, as you can see from his address toward me, I apparently become his son. The hours strengthen our bond together. Him telling his story and me listening to it.
Now I guess he treats me like his own son?
Walking over to the spot Ford point, I waited.
” Before you go, here’s a bag of gold, it has 100 gold inside it. I couldn’t give you more than this because of the academy regulation about treatment and fairness but I hope it will help you. ”, Ford said kindly.
Reaching out, I hold the bag of gold in my hand, stripping it on my belt.
” Thank you, ford. I will be back again sometimes. ” I said to him.
” You better meet this old man sometimes as well, your philosophy is clever though, in Romes do what the Romans do? I do not know what kingdom is that but it does give a certain point that this old man agrees. ”
By the way, I did kinda break my façade and he caught it in a mere moment, asking me about it. I answer truthfully and he seems to appreciate the philosophy so I am off the hook. Not everything works as it supposes to I guess, especially in this world where people can be mind rape and what not.
Waiting for three seconds, a clink sounded under me. A trap door open under my door shocking me and before falling down I left behind the following word, ” Damn you old man! ”
Falling down I heard a quiet reply from the top, ” Good luck son. ” and then the trapdoor closes, taking away my only sources of light leaving me deep in the dark falling.
There is no way I could survive this fall, it looks like a four second or more drop. Damn the old man, he could have given me some light but no, he went and closes the door. I guess he thinks I could use magic to solve this dilemma, but sorry to break it to you, I have no idea about magic!
…..
It’s been about what? Five seconds now? If I said I will not survive the fall before, then now I am sure about it. I hope at least someone can make me a funeral and put my name on it. Tough luck that it will happen.
Hmm… I hear water down below me. Please be a body of water! If it is then maybe I don’t need a funeral after all.
After that Sen just kept chanting ” Plot armor is with me, I am with it ” for two seconds before hitting the water with a splash.
Now the reader may be confused as for why seconds last that long but it actually is proven that when falling a long distance, your sense of time distorted. That is why anyone who commits suicide by way of falling for a quick death isn’t going to get what they wanted. The distorted sense of time can make you feel the moment your bone is crushed and pulverize moving slowly on to your brain.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
You get it. A painful experience.
” Puhaa, * cough *. Good thing that there is water below me, otherwise I will just die. ”, Sen said out loud.
Now, where am I? It looks to be a cave with gems and ore hanging from the ceiling. It also has a.. What is it called? Stalc.. Stalactites, yea.
Ughh, even if that fall doesn’t kill me, I still feel dizzy from it.
Getting up and pat his leg, Sen looks around and randomly chose a location.
Walking for an undefined number of time, he met a dead end.
( A dead end? I guess I am not that lucky. Wait, maybe I am. )
Looking at the dead end that is made of rock, it seems to be nature work from the unnatural rough edges it has. But that is not what sen wanted, he looks around the water seeing floating pieces of ore and debris. He looks around more until his eye lit up.
On the water is a floating unnatural shape wood. How does it get here? Sen didn’t know but he speculates that it may have a relation to the wooden house. It would have been no surprise is someone panic when the trap door open, taking it with them.
( I should have taken the trap door with me. At least, a little compensation and revenge will do good for the old man to not do any sort of prank on me ever again. )
Picking the wood up, he put it in his inventory but then suddenly an untimely sound spoken.
” Host of Minecraft system has detected a bug. ” $&@& said.
” Reward the host with Over boundary Perk x1 ”
” What this perk does, in a simple context, will give the host chosen power the ability to realize any overcome. ”
” ability that is realized can do much more than it is otherwise able to. For example, the ability fireball can shoot a ball of flame at the enemy. Using this perk, it would be able to shoot out an invisible air that constantly absorbs oxygen, wearing down your enemy without them noticing. ”
” Now we will reboot the system please wait ten seconds. ”

..
” The system has been updated ”
( Umm. No more? I guess that is it. I wanted to try the perk though, but I still don’t see it in my inventory or on the ground. What is going on?)
Sen then got a clue and open his inventory.
( There it is, It is hard to find because there is no texture, but if you hover your finger over it then its name became visible. )
The name is called $&PermPerk&$
Poking it with his finger an option appear.
Do you want to upgrade your abilities?
Yes or no
Pressing on yes, a list appears. All empty but one.
List
1. Master of smell
2. .
3. .
4. .
…
( Ok, so only my smell ability? Well, that is fine either way, just want to know what it does. )
Pressing on the only abilities Sen currently had, a confirmation box pop up.
Are you sure?
Yes or no
Pressing on yes, Sen waited for something to happen. Nothing dramatic happens, leaving Sen majorly disappointed.
Opening his inventory on habit, Sen notices something that makes his face lit up ten times brighter.
On the top, where there is nothing before, now there is an option to click left or right, looking like an arrow where you press to change pages but this one in grey, blending in with the inventory.
Pressing on the button that is not faded, he moves to a new domain.
A new tab pops up, size wise it is just like the inventory but function wise it is not an inventory.
In this page, it explains the uses of his newly evolve ability ” Master of smell”.
Sen becomes speechless after looking on at what this ability could do.
He mumbled clearly distress, ” Why is all my ability broken? Especially if it is supposed to be a support and nothing else? Can someone please explain to me what is happening? ”
What broke Sen to such a degree is the explanation of his ” supposedly ” supporting ability.
It read:
The master of smell ( Over-PermPerk )
Example of what it can do:
- Eat any delicacy or food from just smelling it
- Your ability fed you. Just smelling a hint of food can make you full.
- Delete presence of smell from the host or others. An active ability.
- Radar. Track people, determine allies or enemy, tree or object through smell and form a map in host mind.
- Receive help from the smell. You are the master of smell, even if the smell is not a conscious being. Through it existing everywhere, you can perceive something from it when in trouble that can help you.
- The smell of danger is applied. You can smell danger before it is even there.
- The smell of victory and failure apply. Don’t worry about the probability of succeeding because metaphorically you will know the chances before even committing to it.
- The smell of emotion such as despair, fear is applied. Know what others feel about you, from just smelling.
- You can smell from any of your body part. The skin, the heart, etc.
- Mastering the smell means that you master chemistry. Create a smell formula that could paralyze, poison, heal or kill your enemy.
- Being able to intensify the smell or gather the intensify smell in one place. Can instantly overload the smell senses of an enemy and act as a death spell AOE.
- Control the impurities from the air, solidifying it into solid. The smell comes from impurities, so you can indirectly control it since you are the master of smell.
- Control all the smell to change to a certain smell or add a certain smell to it. This changes the impurities in the air by replacing it with something else, solidifying it can create a new material from the smell ratio or find the material you wanted to get.
- Create a chemical never found before, from the different combination ratio of smell. Combining this with the smell of victory, what will happen?
End of example.
P.s. Please find more bug and glitches.
By yours truly, System.
