THE GAMER

CHAPTER 4

Hayden nodded his head, admiring the stats and such. “Apparently I’m smart…. Unlike the author is writing this.”

(GODS FUCKING DAMN IT HAYDEN JR! NOT EVEN 18 WORDS IN AND YOUR ALREADY RUINING THIS STORY!)

Hayden ignored the yelling in his head, knowing it was just a bastard voice in his head. He rubbed his eyes, in thought. “Hm…. If I punched the tree repeatedly I could build up my strength and Physical Endurance right?” He murmured to himself.

+1 wisdom for thinking rationally

He cheered quietly before setting to work, punching the tree quickly. He did this for an hour, ignoring the constant dinging. He panted, finishing finally. He went through his notifications.

Leveled up x3! +4 strength! Physical Endurance is now Level 15!

Hayden smirked softly before hearing a low growl. He immediately reached into his inventory and grabbed his staff/axe that he had yet to name. His eyes trailed the tree line, searching for his enemy. He saw some red eyes, but it was already too late. The creature pounced on him, but he managed to swing his axe in time. The axe dug itself deep into its side, making it explode into black dust. He coughed as some got into his mouth, but he had no time to think as more pounced on him. He hissed in pain as some dug their claws, and teeth into his shoulder, arms, or wherever else they could get to.

Was this the end of the great Gamer Hayden? No, it was only the beginning of this terribly written story of a young teen. Hayden grabbed his pistol/sword, and shot some of the grim on him. He quickly emptied it’s rounds, and resorted to using his sword. His axe was useless in the tight, enclosed space he was in. He slashed at one grim, who exploded like the others had. He had at least 3 more to fight, and his health was at 50/300. He bit his lip before noting a red potion on the ground.

Without warning, he sprinted, lunging for the potion just as the grims went to pounce on him. The grims smacked into each other, making them slightly dizzy, which gave Hayden time to drink the health potion. He watched as his health bar slowly increased to 150/300. He smirked and took advantage of the dizzy grim and swiftly killed them with his jagged sword. He then collapsed on the ground, exhausted from the battle he had been thrown into.

Hayden stared at his weapons, which were dripping in black blood. “I need to name them…” He mumbled. “How about… The axe/staff, Eerie Demise? And the Pistol/Sword can be…. Mercy’s Cruelty.” He nodded, feeling satisfied as he began to look at his hoard of notifications.

Hayden looked indecisive at the skill choices, biting his lip to the point that it bled.
