Scepticus looked at Nick. And Nick looked at him. Suddenly Scepticus chanted “Sword Style: Bold Strike”. Scepticus who was already quite low in terms of health and managed to hit Nick due to the sheer speed at which he hit Nick.
Bold Strike increases one’s overall stats by nearly double or triple and is used in a short burst(usually when one is about to die) to deal 99% of their health. But because of this it sets the users health to 1%. If the user manages to hit the enemy they deal 99% of their health as damage and heal back their health to 100%.
“One Final ‘Screw You’, I guess Nick” said Scepticus. After Nick was hit he was crawling on the ground. Since Nick was pretty much equal in terms of other stats apart from magic,(Which is much higher than Scepticus) Nick was low on health.
Suddenly Scepticus heard a rumbling coming from the direction in which he had come through. Scepticus didn’t want to know what it was so he tried to end Nick as soon as possible but Nick then just said “Screw you…”. He then pulled out a scroll. It floated and then disintegrated in the air. Suddenly Nick was gone.
“Darn, I never thought that he had a teleportation scroll,” said Scepticus. This part of the cave was a dead end. The rumbling became louder and louder until Scepticus saw what it was. Spiders. Thousands of them and they were all undead.
“Shit. So that’s why he liked this cave. He can screw anybody who comes in here with this… It’s cowardly, but it’s smart,” commented Scepticus. Scepticus didn’t like fighting necromancers since they were so cowardly when it came to battle, only relying on their summons.
Scepticus then said “When there is no path you just have to make one. If someone else made a path before you you can definitely make one”. Scepticus then chanted “Sword Style: Nebula”. Scepticus essentially made a horizontal whirlwind which cut the stone leading to the outside. Scepticus then had to run for a while before he slashed the top of the cave causing the rubble to seal all the spiders inside.

“Phew, that was a close one….” Scepticus said as he knocked out. Scepticus then had a dream. He was wearing that bag which he was wearing from earlier. But this time he wasn’t in the forest or anywhere random at all.
It was a building which he was standing in front of. It was quite a blocky building with more blocky segments extending out of it. It was quite unique in terms of architecture compared to what he was used to. I mean he wasn’t even used to the houses. At the top of the main section was a long clock tower which at the top had a bell.
Suddenly the bell started chiming and then a lot of kids started entering the building. As he walked through the doors he was pushed down by a kid with messy blonde hair. “Well well if it wasn’t my favourite wimp Devlin Asier,” the boy with messy blonde hair said. “Ummm… Who are you again?” Scepticus asked.
The boy with messy blonde hair replied “Huh… WHO aM I?! None other than the handsome,", "The elegant,” a pair of girls chimed in, “Rick Ross” the boy with messy blonde hair said. “Rick Ross… HAHAHAHA! WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT?” suddenly Scepticus was kicked in the face by the boy.
“I don’t know what happened to you while you were in your sleep, but remember that I am the King around here. Ya got that?” Rick stated. Scepticus just waved it off and got up. Then Rick tried to kick Scepticus but Scepticus grabbed him by his leg and flipped him over and in front of him, cracking the ground.
He started coughing blood. Suddenly a teacher came over and questioned the commotion. The students then shined Scepticus in a bad light. Scepticus was ordered to go for detention but just told the teacher to screw off. He also said he didn’t know what detention was.
The teacher then blackmailed Scepticus with the principal but he just told her to screw off again. All the other students were shocked that the timid and usually quite Devlin Asier would pull something like this. Then as Scepticus was about to enter the classroom he woke up.
He was sitting by a campfire and noticed a kid with olive green hair and eyes. “So, How was the dream?”. Scepticus was alarmed as he didn’t know who the kid was so he asked the kid bluntly, “Who are you?”.
“I am what people refer to me as The One. I shall take my leave for now,”. Then the boy and his cloak which had covered him completely vanished into thin air. “What was that dream even about?”. Scepticus felt as if his energy was completely restored. “Well, I better be wary of that kid. He seemed pretty strong. He even managed to completely erase his presence. I hope he is not ‘The One’ that I am thinking about”.
