Anticlimactic

I get to work smashing the rubedo I was working on yesterday, I continue beating out the slab even though rock is getting my weapon done, the whole break a big chunk out strategy will get my debt done quicker so I am sticking with it.

The slab is starting to visibly sag down from the rest of the rubedo crystals, I can now fit my whole pickaxe head behind it when I smash it.

I continue wittling it down, taking breaks and swigs of water along the way.

The workers and I sing My Queens told me and we all lift together in unison and the invigorating music made us all work extra fast.

*THUD BOOM*

The huge slab of rubedo falls to the ground and I load it into my basket, it overflows out of the container.

I pack it on my back and head up the lift, I turn in the slab for 3000 credits off my debt.

Rock aproaches me after I get out of the line.

He hands me a crude disc. The middle has a large hole for me to grip it.

"Thanks buddy."

"Anytime fwind!"

I give him a pat on the back and we part ways.

[Ragged Rubedo chakram acquired]

Yosh!

I sit down in my usual spot and open the scenario tab.

[START THE GOBLIN {LVL 2} Encounter?!]

[Rewards:

1 common+ skill

2 common items. ]

[Yes] [No]

I click on yes.

When I close my eyes I reappear in a grassy plain.

I look up and see a green goblin with white cloth clothing, it has a singular horn coming out its forehead and it wields a small handaxe.

It roars and a hp bar appears.

[THE GOBLIN 2] [HP 22/22]

I ready my chakram and throw it at the goblin.

[Good Frisbee throw activated!]

The chakram slings through the air, it twirls and a gust of wind pushes off of it as it rages towards the unexpecting goblin.

The chakram slices the the goblins arm, it lands with a thud, it had also sliced the goblin belly open, his little intestines burst out.

[CRITICAL HIT]

[HP 9/22 Hemorrhaging!]

The goblin pushes his bleeding stub against the wound and holds his intestines in place.

I take my pickaxe out of my inventory and wait.

The goblin charges at me, as he runs blood seeps out of his mouth.

I side step a desperate slash and step on the gobs foot, he dances back and in the excitement his stub falls out of his wound.

I slam my hand down and into his tummy, I graps whatever organ I can find and squeeze, the goblin screams in agony. Welp there goes his liver.

It falls over onto the grass.

I sit on him and pound his face with the underside of my fist until he stops making noise.

[THE GOBLIN LVL 2 SLAIN!]

[CONGRATS]

Wow, finally something useful.

<?>

"Has thoust come to kill me?"

A gigantic man in full brass plate armor sits upon a gigantic throne as a red sky sets behind him, he stands up and in a magnificent flash of purple 2 humongous black blades appear in his hand.

Across from him stands a tall woman in cloth armor, she has a golden arm and a winged gold helm.

"I am Melania, blade of Miquella. I will never taste defeat."

The giant gestures at Melania braggartly.

"Then come, blade of Miquella."

A small horse appears underfoot the war king and the horse charges forward, a purple aura pulsates off of the starscourge.

Melania leaps forth and slashes her naginata out, Radahn parries the attacks she makes easily.

Melania rolls back and clutches her hand out, a burst of rot shoots out and squarely strikes the redmane kings horse.

The horse lets out a mighty gasp and falls over, becoming completely unresponsive.

"Now thou cannot move swift-"

Melania is cut off as a ginormous hand grabs her and slams her into the ground.

"MY DEAR LEONARD IS SLAIN, HAST THOU CHOSEN THE WRATH OF GRACE!?"

Radahns skin turns red and the sky itself begins quaking.

The only thing important to Radahn had died, the reason he grew powerful, the reason he learned gravity magic, it was all for his mighty horse.

"Why should mineself hold the stars for this humanity within wich forsakes me, now fall to mine own might, rot queen."

Radahn holds his swords above the incapacitated godess, the sky falls around him and the red desert is struck by meteors.

With a mighty boom and a bright fluorescent rainbow flash the full force of Radahns strike slams the ground of the lands between.

But something is awry.

There is no boom, no death.

Radahn had simply disappeared in a blip of light.

Melania sits up and fixes her arm.

"What."

She utters, before falling unconscious.

Meanwhile Radahns eyes go wide as he is sent down a slip stream of brilliant light, millions of eons pass in a moment and thousands of dimensions die within his eyes as he falls down a never ending tunnel.

For the first time in his life Radahn screams like a girl.

With a force that feels like he headbutted a dragon god Radahn is knocked out.

....

"Get him up, another adventurer passed out drunk in the pub."

2 stocky dwarves approach a tall man in heavy armor of unknown metallurgical origin.

Radahns eyes open and his arm snaps to the throat of the unassuming dwarf.

"THOU DARES LAY THINE HAND ON A GOD?"

The dwarf breaks free and falls back on his ass.

"Your a god? No wonder your in some cuckoo crazy armor."

"What does thou know of the gods small mortal?"

Radahn stands up. He has been reduced to a measly 7 feet tall. He clutches his hand over and over. He scans his surroundings and sees he is in a merry hall or tavern of sorts.

"Where am thyself."

Radahn is confused by this strange place.

"Limgrave most perhaps, I must continue my battle."

Radahn marches off but the dwarves stop him.

"You aint continuing nothin' ya drunk, call your familia to take you home."

The war god glares down at the dwarf.

"You speak funny words short man."

Radahn punts the dwarf through the wall.

He walks out onto the street and his jaw drops, He is seeing the most advanced technology he has ever witnessed, paved stone road, lanterns, houses. And a gigantic tower in the middle of the city.

"WHERE IN THE SHATTERING AM I!"

Radahn once more, screams like a little girl.
