Raven charged at one of the orcs, not giving it time to react he jumped up at it sending his fist backwards he charged up the punch ending up face to face with the orc. He sent his fist into the cheek of the orc he felt the orcs skin ripple under his fist as the orc went tumbling being thrown to the ground. It slowly rises as Raven catches up with the barreling orc. He put his fists together in a hammer pounding onto the orcs back making it hit the ground. Its body was left twitching in the dirt. Raven looked towards another victim. The orc yelled at Raven he couldn’t understand it but it seemed angry.. The orc rushed at Raven leaving heavy footprints in the dirt charging up its club. A new window appeared next to Raven.

The Skill[Wild Strikes]Has been activated!

Raven tilted his head he didn’t have that skill..Then he looked towards the orc sighing that's the orcs skill. The club glows a red aura as the orc swung at Raven rapidly. Raven started to dodge the attacks not wanting to see how he could end up if hit by it. Raven then moved behind the orc as it continued to swing seeming to not realize his target was behind him..or could it even stop? Raven decided not to question further as he once again aimed for the head jumping up he sent a kick into the neck of the orc

The Skill[Wild Strikes]Has been interrupted

The male sighed a bit as the orc stumbled to the side it turned to him charging up its attack again the club raising up and back. Raven dashed in he cocked his fist back and just plunged it into the orc. Ravens fist hit the orcs chest right where its heart would be. The orcs mouth opened blood spilling out of it as it collapsed against the weight of Ravens fist. Raven moved away cracking his knuckles he decided it was time to just finish this. He activated his cloning again to summon his second clone. The new clone appeared looking at Raven waiting for an assignment. Raven smirked pointing at one of the last orcs the clone looked over drawing its blade. Raven then shook his head quickly the clone looking at him it put the sword away holding its fists out looking at Raven. Raven nodded at the clone letting it charge at the orc now. While the clone was dealing with that orc Raven rushed at the last orc remaining thats when before he could get there the other orc he sent the clone after crashed into the one Raven was about to engage with. Both orcs hit the ground just for both of Ravens clones to appear and separate the orcs one having been kicked into the air while the other was kicked to the side. As if planned both orcs had a fist sent through their chest their hearts being destroyed instantly. A new window appeared for Raven to see.

Raven was a bit confused by this new system feature. If he read it correctly it said he could meet other players there. Which was referring to what he was doing right? Gaining immense power and fighting monsters? There were more of him..? Could he finally talk to an actual human being? Raven held his hand forward then slowly wind started to build up around his hair flowing through these strong winds as even grass was picked up from this empty field. Then it soon died down slowly but it was still slightly there as a portal appeared, the energy from it swirling within itself. Raven stepped forward still holding his hand out as he walked through the portal well, more of an awkward fall into it as he was not quite sure about this whole thing. Maybe it was a trick from the system. The gods might just be playing with him again. After stumbling through the portal it actually led somewhere he had closed his eyes feeling he was somewhere new and hearing new noise he slowly opened his eyes to see a fountain? In front of him a fountain flowed with crystal clear water with a statue of a woman at the very top of it. Looking up at he seemed confused. Turning around, a shock had hit him hard. There were people..many people..Raven had started to tear up why? It was hard to believe these are actual people and he's not just making up in his head. This what is known as a lobby seemed to be a town with bustling streets and many stalls and markets. Raven slowly walked forward making his way through the street just taking it all in that was until he moved towards a market stall looking at the items on display this stall seemed to be selling health potions and even mana potions the thing was they did not seem to have prices until he approached closer a screen appeared in his face showing the item and its description along with a price at the bottom right. Raven then backed up from the stall bumping into someone and then another person until he found himself walking through an alley behind a market. Popping out on the other side of the alley On this side he found what seemed to be a small arena well as much as an arena could be called an arena it seemed to be just a fenced in area with nothing really on the inside of the arena but in the arena two people where clashing one wielding a spear while the other held onto a shield and sword. Raven approached the fence leaning on it and watching the fight play out the female who wielded the spear had long red hair looking closer Raven could tell the spear was not just some regular spear. It definitely had some special effect or something as the shield was struggling to stay up after each hit. Maybe it had an increase of destroy guard? Raven could not really tell unless he fought her and her weapon. Soon the fight came to an end as the spear had broken through the man's defense being plunged into his chest seemingly killing him. Then the fence that Raven was leaning on disappeared, making him fall over hitting his head on the ground once grass was now a plain concrete area. He got up quickly holding his forehead looking to the sides he saw the two from the arena now both perfectly fine on opposite sides of where the arena once was. Raven would quickly approach the red haired girl smirking, “That was a pretty good fight..you got me intrigued” The way he spoke made it seem like knew what he was talking about until the girl raised an eyebrow saying, “hm so what are you asking to fight?” Raven paused for a moment laughing a little nodding, “yeah lets do that little fighting thing it seemed cool!” Now his cover was blown he had no idea what that whole thing was. She sighed, rubbing her face before seemingly tapping at something when a screen appeared in front of Raven shocking him a little.

The [Player]Jasmine

Has requested a duel!

In order to accept the duel you must put up one of your [Skills] as a bet

As your opponent has done the same!

Then another screen appeared it was the list of his skills and they all had a check box next to them

Please choose a [Skill] to put up as a bet

Raven sighed, scrolling through the skills he sorta forgot all the skills he had looking towards the female sorta dumbfounded, “we have to bet our skills?!” For a first interaction with someone he didn't expect having to deal with the chance of losing something that made him stronger he thought that was the system's job! Jasmine scoffed, rolling her eyes at him, “look you either put up a skill or stop wasting my time” She stood there staring at him waiting for him to pick a skill. Reluctantly Raven came to a decision selecting a skill letting a new window appear apparently for both players as they reacted simultaneously

Both players have put up a [Skill]

[Player]Raven has put up

[A Marksman's Eye] The user can now be more precise when aiming! Or when seeing far away vision is increased

Vision and Accuracy increases by 85%Requirement: 25 magicCooldown: 10 minutes

[Player]Jasmine has put up

[Precision Pierce]The user can unleash a deadly piercing blow by concentrating and hitting a vital part of the body

Piercing Damage increased by 75%Requirement: Accuracy and FocusCooldown: 15 minutes

The duel will begin shortly..

Raven looked at the skill she put up reading it closely. If he gets this skill with a marksman's eye it should be easier to fulfill the condition for the increase in piercing damage on the skill she put up. All he knows is that he won't lose this duel. In mid thought the screen disappeared leaving him in what he thought was going to be that smaller fenced area but suddenly he was in a huge grassy field two sides of it being split off by a shallow river flowing between them. Why was the area so small earlier? Was it a camera just following the fight? Is this the reality of the fight?! Then on the other side of the flowing river Jasmine appeared already spinning her spear around smirking at Raven. Raven pulled out his sword from its sheath and smiled at Jasmine as a screen appeared labeling a count down with a loud ticking noise then when it hit 0 counting down from 3 a loud blaring noise played and Jasmine took off running straight for Raven. He readied his sword watching her with full killing intent in her eyes. She then appeared in front of him out of nowhere seemingly he knew she was fast but when she appeared in front of him a huge gust of wind hit his entire body pushing him back a bit as she stabbed at him with her spear. He reacted quickly blocked it with his swords blunt edge just because she was fast does not mean he was not fast or just as fast as her. He pushed her back with his sword sending her back a bit she landed on her feet kicking up the grass she landed on. She smirked at him, “you're not as bad as I thought you would be!” She charged at him again she seemed really aggressive for the most part Raven was able to weave between her attacks some he would block and deflect back. Jasmine would pause for a moment staring Raven down she sighed before her demeanor seemed to change a window appeared next to Ravens face.

The [Player]Jasmine

Has activated her skill

[Windlash]Her speed has now increased

Wait was his own system warning him of her skill? This didnt feel like he was supposed to know this. Well whatever it was the message was surely correct as she was now vanishing and reappearing around him he suddenly could not keep up with her. It did not tell him how large of an increase but it seems he has to counteract the speed with his own skill. After a bit of concentration his skill was activated

The Gods hear your prayers

Your speed is doubled for an hour!

59:54

Now with his increased speed he could keep up with her movement quite easily. She seemed shocked, stopping in her tracks as he was keeping up with her now, “what?! How are you..” She groaned, shaking her head, “Of course you have a skill to increase your speed!” She disappeared, appearing behind him to try and stab him in the back. When she tried to stab at him he would disappear right before she could pierce him suddenly her weapon stopped firmly not budging she would look turn to see Raven again holding the end of her spear. She seemed terrified by his speed and power, “how..” Before she could utter another word Raven slammed her into the ground making her loose grip of the spear now holding it he stood over her smirking this was a true test of his power. One that showed just how he has become even over other players he can still come out on top!
