Repost of The Game Of Divinity By ChildeOfWar

by Boundless Scholar

This is not a story by me, but strictly a story that I want to listen to while at work to avoid dealing with all the people crying or asking for sentenceing appeals. - "Our unfortunate MC get offed by truck-kun and is offered the gamer system as compensation. Unfortunately for him the system is kind of a dick. Now changed to M for gore and foul language. GenBend - femMC"

THE GAME OF DIVINITY

CHAPTER 3: LIFE ON THE ROAD (PART 1)

I have been running for hours. I don't have a watch with me but from the position of the sun I would say it is past 9 o'clock. I have to take the more rural roads in fear of the police finding me. Right now I am in the middle of fucking nowhere USA, with trees everywhere around me and I am fucking tired . The only good thing about this is the extra points in stats.

Because of rigorous exercise you have gained +3 VIT

The only thing I can do right now is to head straight east until I find New York and then Long Island. Hopefully I might find a satyr or a fellow demigod on the way because badass or not, gamer or not I am still only 6 and this surprisingly does not inspire confidence.

But before I go further its better if I organize my inventory and see what I have to work with.

Status Points: 10

So Lv3. My strength is awesome and considering I am only level 3 and it is already half-way to 50 and hence the extra perk I will never have to use status points for it, I can focus on raising the rest of my stats with extra focus on vitality because my health points suck and dexterity because I am a small target and speed and evasion is the only path to survival right now. The spare status points I will not use right now, I will wait until I really need them, I have read too many gamer fanfictions to know about the hell that is late game stats upgrade.

For making an intelligent decision +1WIS .

Oh wow whatever

Let's check the title I acquired from my quest. I click Title.

Street Rat: You are homeless and on the streets. Survival is paramount no matter what you have to do. +10% exp to all unlawful skills (pickpocketing, lockpicking, etc), increased chances for mortals to ignore you.

Damn that is not ominous at all. Well whatever the title is useful skill wise and don't you judge me it's important to have these kind of skills, just ask Hermes and the weak notice-me-not is gonna be really useful for getting away from "concerned" mortals so there is that.

Now. Inventory

INVENTORY

X10 sandwich

X2 packets of biscuit

X1 cheese brick

X2 loaf of bread

X3 chocolate bar

X5 bottles of water

X1 white blanket

X1 bag with clothes

X1 lighter

X2 pistol

X2 full bullet clips

Mother's corpse

X1 bronze short sword

X1 peacock feather pendant

CURRENCY: $= 2200, D=2

Food wise I am good for a few days, maybe a week if I pace it well enough and I have more than enough money to hold me over for a while. Let's see what I got from the quest.

Bronze short sword

DMG +20

+5 DMG against monsters

Info: A generic short sword made of bronze from the Hellenic era. It's professionally crafted but nothing to write home about. Capable of hurting monsters.

Okay at least I have a weapon to defend myself. It is not a good one but beggars can't be choosers and hopefully I can find something better later. Next

Peacock Feather Pendant

Info: Silver pendant in the shape of a peacock feather. It's manufacturing process is nothing special. What makes it unique is that it has been touched by the Goddess Hera and as a result has gained a minor blessing.( All females that wear this pendant can hide better from the supernatural, -20% to Godly scent)

+4 DEX

+4 WIS

Now this, this is fucking broken, the stat increase *snort* is a godsend and the scent suppressor even if partial will help keep me away from monsters to an extent. I can already feel a part of tension I didn't know I had leaving me. And without further adieu, Equip .

Now lets see about money, *crack*. I hear a twig snapping from my left and I instantly pulled out my sword in defense. What I saw was a beautiful girl looking no older than 13 with green skin and brown hair hiding halfway behind a tree.

"Who are you what do you want?" I knew she was a nymph and usually they are harmless but the key word here is "usually".

"My n-ame is Penny a-nd I am a nymph" she stuttered slightly, "You have been standing beside my tree for a while now and I got curious, what is your name?"

"I am Alex, and I didn't mean to bother you, I can leave if you want "

"N-no its okay there is no problem, I was just surprised you don't usually see a child so deep inside the woods alone, are you lost, do you want me to search for your parents?"

I flinched at the mention of my parents "No it's fine I never knew my father" the bastard, " and my mother is dead" I wanted to cry at that but I couldn't show weakness right now.

"O-oh, m-my condolences, do you want some help?" she asked, "There is grove a little bit further that -"

*Screeeee*

A loud scream was heard and you could see the birds flying away in alarm all around the forest

"What was that?' I exclaimed trying to pinpoint the location of the scream.

"Oh no that is Amy she must be hunting again?" said the nymph fearfully

"Who is Amy?" I shouted in alarm

"She is a harpy, she has declared these parts of the forest as her territory and has been terrorizing everyone. When some older nymphs tried to chase her away, she scratched their barks so much that they couldn't leave their trees for weeks in order to heal them" she said fearfully,

"you have to run if she finds you she will eat you" and instntly hid inside her tree.

"Damnit", I exclaimed and I made a run for it. Hopefully with the pendant and my small age my scent is not strong enough to get a whiff of and I can get away.

As I was running I saw a shadow around me getting bigger. If it wasn't for my ADHD that made roll left at the last second I would have been a demigod fillet right now, because in front of me was the fucking harpy I was trying to escape from. So much for not getting noticed.

By measuring up an enemy you have gained the skill Observe

'Thanks game I am sure I will destroy the monster that wants to sis kebab me by observing it to death' I knew it was no time for snark but I was stressed sue me.

"Observe"

Amy "Queen"

Race: Harpy

Gender: Female

Level: 12

Info: Amy is a Harpy that was abandoned by her flock, enraged by their betrayal she takes out her anger on anyone that pisses her off or undermines her authority as "Queen" of the grove. She smelled the scent of a half-ling and is looking forward to a tasty meal.

Now is not the fucking time, stupid game !

"FOOD" she screeched

" Fuck you, you overgrown pigeon I aint your bloody food!" I shouted and promptly dodged to the right as she attacked me.

I had to run between the trees to not give her the opportunity to charge me from above. I have no ranged ability, I have to bring her to the ground to lessen her mobility, but how?

As I run between two trees I got an idea, it wasn't the best idea and its stupid to experiment mid-battle but in the immortal word of Percy-sempai, it is better than no idea at all. So I pulled out one of my mother's guns and tried to imbue the bullet with the flames of war. I know it was a pretty out there leap of faith but I was desperate.

I saw the harpy 50 meters away from me and closing fast, so I focused on the flame, "cmon cmon you can do this" and suddenly I saw the pistol getting covered in a red flamy aura, so I pointed the pistol to the harpy and fired *BANG* . I felt my hands getting rattled from the pistols kickback but I held firm.

*Screeee*

I saw her fall to the ground, the bullet luckily enough hit the top of one of her wings and made a whole the size of a girl scouts cookie, the burn scars from the warfyre (I am calling it warfyre for the sake of speed, flames of war is a mouthful) made some extra damage as well. Her screeches of pain are so loud I can feel my eardrums vibrating.

HP: 500/800

Critical hit

Nice, time for something to go right for me today. Now that she is down I can fill her full of lead and be done with it.

Ping*

MP: 0/423

*Warfyre (lv1): 20dmg /sec cost: 30mp/sec

I talked too soon, I have been keeping the warfyre active all this time that it ate all my fucking Mana. There goes the safe option, but I had no time for second guessing so I put my pistol back into the inventory, pulled out my sword and charged.

I bow once again to my battle reflexes perk because the moment I went into striking distance the shity bird swiped at me with her good wing. If I hadn't jumped back she would have ripped me in half, now I only got a scratch in my abdomen ruining one of my few shirts and staining it with blood, and it pissed me off.

HP: 110/142

"You fucking freak show I am gonna kill you "and with that declaration I felt power filling my whole body and I charged.

PING*

Rage Booster +2 strength

Mortal Combat +10 to all physical stats

STR: 24 (36)

VIT :7 (17)

DEX: 6(20)

I dodged to the left from a stumbling swipe and I cut het twice to the side.

HP: 400/800

She tried to lunge at me to take a bite out but I jumped above her and I stabbed her from behind in her spine.

HP: 250/800

Critical hit, Crippled

She screeched in agony and fell to the ground but I didn't give a shit, she should have left me well enough alone, she tried to bite more than she could chew *ha get it* and now she is going to pay for it.

She tried to crawl away to escape but I wasn't feeling merciful so I stepped on top of her and I stabbed twice, one in the neck the second in the skull and just like that she turned to golden dust.

For using strategy in battle even though you pulled it out of your ass +2WIS, +2 LUC

+50xp

Well that's that I guess. I sit down resting my back against a tree as I feel the adrenaline leaving my body. I think I will rest here for a little while, I earned it. It didn't even take me 3 minutes to fall asleep. Considering I watched my mother get murdered, run to escape the cops for 6 hours straight and then fought to the death against a Harpy Diva it was no wonder really.
