Legacy Firing
Also, I'm writing this book called 'Legacy Firing'. Please read it. Its in the novel section but under a different author. If that book reaches 100 collections, I am going to post 2 extra chapters here. Seeing that we have 5700 readers here at this book I see that an okay accomplishment. But don't do it just for the chapters. I put a lot of effort into it.
I am putting the first 5 chapter in this chapter. Feel free to ignore it if you aren't interested.
_______________________________________________
SYNOPSIS -
Charlus was just living his normal life. But one random day he saw a huge ass star just appear in the sky for a split second.
From then on he found that his world turned into a game. He could earn Exp and upgrade his Stats. But Charlus didn't think that it would make too much of a difference.
But wait. What? There are monsters in this world? When did that happen? Were they always there and were the government hiding them or were they a new addition that accompanied Charlus' power?
And most importantly, was he the only one who had a power? Was it safe for him to just goof off?
Charlus, equipped with his natural sense of humor and a strangely prevalent combat instinct now has to finish quests that might seem interesting to him, but change the world, one small step at a time.
Read on as Charlus' legacy in the world fires off.
________________________________________________________________________________
Charlus woke up. He went out of the house. He looked up and saw a huge star. Huge enough that it almost blinded him. He shielded his eyes. When he looked up again, he did not find anything odd. But he felt something strange happened.
Charlus shrugged and went back into his house. He had better things to do. Like getting to school. It was the start of school after the winter vacation and Charlus didn't want to be late on his first day.
If he was, his mother would know and she would kill him. His mother stayed with him most of the time but decided that he could live by himself since he entered the senior year of high school at the beginning of the year. So she went to live with his father who was in Europe. So he was stuck in the States.
Charlus grabbed a pair of bread and smeared some jam. He finished that and a glass of juice.
[Satiation Level 100%]
"What the hell?!"
Charlus was so surprised he dropped the jar in his hand. In front of him was a white box with this written on it. The jar shattered and one of the pieces of glass pierced through his pant.
"Ow!"
[-1 HP]
"HP?"
A window suddenly appeared in front of Charlus.

Charlus' curiosity was peaked and he closely examined the window in front of him. He poked it but his finger went right through it.
"Its just like a game. Wait, if its like a game, do I have a level or something?"
"Status!"
A similar but bigger looking bar appeared in front of Charlus.

"Wow!"
Charlus suddenly remembered he needed to be somewhere.
"Oh Shit! School!"
Charlus raced out of the house. He was in a single floor independent house that was seemingly in the middle of nowhere. The school was only a mile away though. Charlus had a scooter so he got there in a few minutes.
However, by the time he got to his classroom, half the class was finished.
"I'm sorry I am late Mr Smith. I promise it won't happen again."
"Why is it that I can't accept this as a reason for you being half-an-hour late to my class Mr Black?"
"Cause it isn't one?"
Mr Smith raised his eyebrows. Charlus nervously though of an excuse. Suddenly he remembered the pain in his leg.
"I broke a jar in my house so I took some time tending to my injury Sir."
Charlus pointed to his pant which had a blood stain on it.
"Fine. Don't be late next time. Go and sit."
Charlus sat in the end with a grin on his face. He was relieved that he was excused. he didn't want to get into trouble.
Charlus tried to pay attention but it was Math. When one had an option between Math and anything else in the world except Physics, that person would take the latter option. Instead of listening to Mr Smith, Charlus started exploring the phenomenon he discovered that morning.
[Jamie Mathews Lvl 3]
[Jenson Bell Lvl 2]
[Nia Soto Lvl 1]
[Marcus Steins Lvl 5]
Charlus was relieved that he wasn't that far from his classmates. As far as he knew, levels were an accurate representation to some extent of one's strength. He was only one or two levels away from the majority of his classmates.
"Mr Black! Could you please solve this problem?"
Mr Smith called out to Charlus. Charlus looked at his teacher. There was a trigonometry problem on the board. Charlus barely knew trigonometry and had no idea on how to solve the problem. He was planning on standing up and saying that he didn't know when another hand stood up, saving him.
Charlus was going to his gym class. He was looking for someone when someone hit him in the back.
[-1 HP]
"What the hell Milo!"
"Why so serious man?"
Charlus was suddenly afraid. If this was really a game like world, wouldn't he die if his HP went down to 0? If one simple 'pat' in the back took out 1 HP, how was he supposed to stay alive?
Charlus looked at Milo's level.
[Milo Stanley Lvl 21]
Lvl 21? What did his friend do to get to that level? Farm? Wait, how would someone farm on Earth? There aren't monsters. Right?
Charlus was losing his mind.
"What's wrong man? Why are you acting so weird?"
"Nothing. What are we supposed to do again? I didn't listen to the fat guy."
"He told us to do some sit-ups. You first."
Charlus got down on his back while Milo stood on his feet.
"One, two, three....."
Charlus was exhausted by the time he got to 19.
"One more man. You can do it!"
"Twenty!"
Charlus fell back. A notification appeared before him.
[+1 Str]
What? A point in Str? Isn't that strength? Charlus suddenly got a motivation to do more sit-ups.
"Wait. I think I can do more. 21, 22..."
Charlus stopped at 30. He was truly exhausted.
[+ 1 Str]
"Wow! That's the first time I've seen you do this much. Who caught your eye? Was it Julia?"
"Shut up man. Your turn."
_____
After gym Charlus and Milo had American History.
"Hey Julia, Charlus has a th-"
Charlus shoved Milo aside.
"Don't mind him. Something happened to him."
Charlus dragged Milo to the back of the classroom.
"That hurt man. I'm just setting things up for you."
"Yeah right, you can have for if you want."
"Her? No way!"
"Could you stop talking Mr Stanley? I have a class to start."
"Sorry sir."
Charlus didn't know what to do so he listened to the class.
"Abraham Lincoln ran for president under the republican party, which shows how much a party can change. The party's ideals are based on the people controlling it and not the party itself....."
[+1 Wis]
A point in Wisdom? But what did I do?
Charlus was confused at the addition of stat points he received. What was it for? Was it because he was listening in class? Damn! He should have listened more.
Charlus paid attention in all of the classes he had that day but no new stats were awarded.
"What was that man? Why did you listen to class today? You seem so different today."
"I'm sorry man, I got to go. Maybe we can talk later. Discord?"
"Nah. I have something on my plate. I'll be really busy for a week. Won't be coming to school either. I think I'll be back by Monday. Don't mess with Marcus again. I won't be there to bail you out."
"Yes daddy. Get me something when you come back."
Milo laughed and got into his car.
"Need a lift?"
"I have my scooter. See you around."
Charlus got into his scooter and drove to his house. He entered the house and got into the kitchen to get a glass of juice.
"Ow!"
[-3 HP]
A couple of glass shards were on the floor and Charlus had stepped on them.
"I forgot about this god damn it! Wait, did I already lose 5 HP till now? Status!"

"Only 3 HP gone? Did the other HP recover? Thank go."
Charlus was relieved that his HP recovered. He first took out the glass shards on his feet. Then he cleaned the kitchen. The carpet was torn up though.
"Need to get one now. Might as well eat outside too."
Charlus grabbed a jacket from the hanger above the shoe rack beside the front door. He took out his scooter and started towards Lewisville German Carpets.
Charlus went to the carpet store and ordered a similar looking rug that was in the kitchen. He wanted to make sure that his mother wouldn't notice when she came back. After finding a good rug he gave them an address to deliver it to. He then went to get dinner.
He went to the nearest burger stop. It was a small joint which wasn't famous but he had found their burgers to be exceptional.
"Irda! How do you do?"
"My man Charles! Where were you man? We was missing you."
"It's Charlus. Anyways, give me a loaded steak burger."
"Togo?"
Charlus nodded. A few minutes later, he left the joint with a bag in his hands.
Charlus munched on his burger while sitting on a bench in the nearest park. He liked sitting outside than in restaurants because he felt that they were too stuffy. He was happily eating his burger when he heard a weird sound.
He looked behind him. The park was right beside an artificial forest so Charlus could only see some trees. Charlus took out his phone and switched on the flash lights. He saw the bushes ruffling a few meters out. Then he saw a small humanoid figure rushing back into the woods.
"What's a kid doing here?!"
Charlus ran after the figure. He followed the figure until he found himself deep in the forest. He looked around but didn't find any indication of where he came from.
"Shit! What's wrong with this kid?"
Suddenly, a figure came from the nearby bushes.
"There you are. Why were you running?"
The figure came closer and Charlus finally got a good look on it. It had green skin and had no hair. It was dressed in a loin cloth covering it's privates. There was nothing in it's hands.
"What the hell is that?!"
Charlus instinctively backed away from the creature that was drawing near him. He looked above it and saw a bar.
[Goblin Lvl 1]
Lvl 1? Would he be able to defeat it? No, what if he died instead? His life was more precious.
-->Fight
-->Stall
-->Run
Before Charlus could evaluate his options the goblin jumped onto him. It was trying to scratch Charlus' neck but he caught its hands and flung him away.
"It's really light. I was able to fling it away easily. If I had a weapon I could fight it."
Charlus looked around and only found a huge rock.
-->Fight
Charlus charged towards the creature, as did it towards him. Charlus locked hands with the goblin. He started spinning it around. The goblin was lifted into the air. Charlus slowly moved towards the huge rock that he had seen earlier. He got near it and finally rammed the goblin into it.
[You have defeated a Goblin]
[10 Exp Awarded]
[You have received Common Material: Goblin Tooth]
The goblin disappeared before Charlus could take a good look to see if it was alive. Charlus' hand was still numb from the impact from the stone. He wanted to let go of the goblin but didn't want to risk it.
Now Charlus had to think. What was a Goblin doing in this park? Why was there something like a goblin in this world itself? Why hadn't some scientist discovered it? The goblin seemed very stupid, so it couldn't have been hiding itself.
Was the country aware of this and simply hiding it from the common citizens. If so, was this actually real? Was this not a hallucination?
Charlus was still not convinced that he had some sort of game system but this cemented his belief. Either his life had really turned into a game or he was dreaming. He was okay with both. If it was a dream, he wanted to live to the fullest, since he had nothing better to do.
Charlus looked around and found a stick. The stick was a foot long and wide. It wasn't sharp but Charlus could use it to push people away. Charlus picked it up and went towards his back.
Charlus didn't know where to go, but he knew that he was in danger. If there was one goblin, there was a chance that there were more than one goblin. Charlus didn't want to take the risk. He would get out as quickly as possible and give the police an anonymous tip that there were some tiny people in the forest that were dangerous.
Charlus going in the direction he picked and he arrived at a lake.
"Of all the directions to pick, why did I have to pick the only wrong one?!"
His scream drew some attention. Two Goblins appeared before him. Charlus sighed and pointed his stick at them. This did nothing to stop their advance.
Charlus checked their levels.
[Goblin Lvl 1]
[Goblin Lvl 1]
Thank god they were still level ones. They would probably be just like the goblin he encountered in the forest. Charlus got ready for them to jump.
They jumped together, but Charlus was ready for it. He caught the first one and started moving wildly. This caused the second one to lose hold of him. In this time he plunged the goblin into the water and knocked him out. Since the goblin was smaller, it lost consciousness quickly. The second goblin faced the same fate when it jumped at Charlus.
Charlus found a sharp rock by the lake and killed the unconscious goblins with it.

"What happened to my first tooth?"
Suddenly, a huge grid filled box appeared in front of Charlus.
"Holy shit! An inventory?!"
The inventory had 10 boxes coloured white while the others were all gray. The Goblin Tooth was in one of the boxes, and the number three was to the bottom right.
Charlus reached out to the Goblin Tooth and took it out. It was a very small tooth that was similar to a human tooth.
"Eww!"
Charlus threw away the tooth. It was slimy and did not feel good to touch. Charlus shook his head and closed the inventory.
Over the next few minutes, Charlus came across three more goblins. He gained three more teeth and 30 more Exp. The minute he killed the last goblin, a screen appeared in front of him.
[Quest: Goblin Colony]
[Difficulty E]
[Time limit - 3 Days]
[Goblins have spawned through out the Lewisville forest and have established a base near the Lewisville lake. Defeat their base.]
[20x Goblins]
[Goblin Chieftain]
[Rewards]
[100 Exp]
[Rusty Dagger]
[Accept/Reject]
Charlus though about it. He knew that if he went in the opposite direction he came from, he would be able to get to civilization. He would be able to get back to his normal life. He could forget all this ever happened. He could just go on with his life and ignore the weird bars above other people.
But could Charlus go back to his normal life. After having a taste of this life of killing Goblins, would Charlus be able to go back? And by receiving this power, didn't he also receive a responsibility.
"Responsibility my foot! I need to see what that Goblin Chieftain looks like. If this goblin is so small like a kid, how big could the Chieftain be?"
Charlus first went back to the park side of the forest. He went back the direction he came from. He didn't encounter any Goblins on the way.
"I must have killed all of them."
Charlus finally came out from the other side. Everyone noticed him coming and looked at him weirdly.
"Mommy! Caveman!"
Charlus heard a boy talk to his mother and looked at himself. His clothes were in tatters and barely covered him. While the goblins weren't able to kill him, or even scratch him, they were able to destroy his clothes.
"I will call all of those bastards."
"Mommy, the caveman became angry!"
The boy hugged his mother."
Charlus felt embarrassed. He mouthed a sorry to the mother and ran towards his scooter. Thankfully he hadn't lost his keys and mobile phone in the forest.
He quickly went to his house and threw his clothes in the dustbin.
"Mental Note to self - Don't take good clothes to forests when going after imaginary creatures.
Second Mental Note to self - Don't be too surprised if diagnosed with madness."
Charlus went to nearest supermarket and got a pocket knife. He wanted to get a hunting rifle but he would need a gun license. Getting one would be a hassle. He would have preferred a longer weapon like a spear or sword but he was in the modern age.
He couldn't go to a shop and ask if that person had a sword of good quality. This was not ancient times. Only mad men would carry things like those around. It was not like Charlus didn't want a better weapon. In fact, Charlus had also ordered a custom made dagger. He didn't want a spear because he didn't know how to use it.
Charlus took the pocket knife as well as a complete set of camping gear. He got it shipped to his house. Then he packed some supplies and stored everything in his inventory. He put a lot of stuff in a single bag pack for it to count as one item. It looks like even this game has bugs.
Finally, Charlus went to the park. He stood in front of the same bench he was sitting on that day. After reconsidering his decision, he finally went into the forest. On the way to the lake he also accepted the Quest. He didn't want to kill all the goblins and suddenly realize that he hadn't even accepted the quest.
Charlus went to the lake side and went to the other side. He hoped to encounter goblins. He didn't want to go to the Goblin Settlement to kill the goblins. That was too risky. Charlus cared too much about his life. Moreover, he didn't know how strong the Goblin Chieftain was.
Charlus finally came across a single goblin gathering berries while he was on his way to the other side of the lake. He took out his knife and crept towards it. By the time the goblin realized that there was a person behind it Charlus stabbed it.
[You have defeated a Goblin]
[10 Exp Awarded]
[You have received Common Material: Goblin Tooth]
"Why goblin teeth?! What will I do with that?"
Charlus became irritated. He showed this anger on the poor goblins that he encountered. Three goblins suffered his wrath before he calmed down. Of course, this had to do with the excitement he got from finally levelling up.
[You have gained 30 Exp]
[You have gained enough Exp]
[You are now Lvl 2]
[You have gained 5 AP]
Charlus was excited. He finally got some stats! If he put everything into Str, he would be almost twice as strong as he would be normally. Charlus wanted to test this immediately. This was because he wanted to test whether increasing his stats really made a difference.
Charlus put everything into Str. He actually felt the difference immediately. He went and found a goblin to fight. He was able too easily lift the goblin - easier than before. He whacked it to the ground and it fainted.
"Wow! Should I put everything into Str then? Wait, if I am a strength based fighter, wouldn't I have to battle monsters head on. Then if I become a mage, won't I be able to attack from far? Even better, if I become a summoner, wouldn't I be able to sit back and relax while my summoned beasts will do all the work?"
Charlus decided to not allot any stats unless necessary. He wanted to first choose a job. He didn't even know what jobs were available to him.
Charlus looked at his status for the amount of Exp for the next level up.

Charlus was able to find ten more Goblins before lunch. He found it hilarious when he thought about it. He was comparing killing Goblins to fishing and other casual activities. He was halfway to Lvl 3 and he was looking forward to it. He wanted to be at least Lvl 3 before looking for the boss.
Even if he found the boss, he wouldn't charge straight in. He wasn't the Hulk - he wasn't that strong and he wasn't that stupid. He would first scout to see if there were any strong subordinates and then see if the boss was stronger than him. While levels weren't a perfect assessment of one's strength, they were very accurate. Charlus was hoping they were.
Charlus was thinking of this plan to kill the entire Goblin colony while slowly enjoying a beef burger. Perhaps this was his nature - Psychopathic to the core.
Charlus finished his burger and got up. He took out his pocket knife and ventured out. He walked towards the wild end of the lake. He was confident that if there were any goblins, they would be there.
Charlus killed three goblins before reaching his destination. He only needed to kill seven more along with a chieftain.
Charlus heard a lot of sound coming from the inner parts of the forest. He went silently to check and see if it was the goblins.
Charlus had found the entire colony. He was very excited. He first counted the number of goblins.
There were 11 goblins wandering around. The colony was basically a fire and a hut. Charlus guessed that the goblin would be inside the hut. So that meant 11 enemies at the colony. Along with an unknown number of goblins who ventured out.
Charlus checked the levels of the goblins.
[Goblin Lvl 2]
All of them were level 2. So that meant that they were the strength of the tribe and sent the weaker goblins to gather food.
Charlus wasn't sure about the strength of these goblins. He wanted to be sure before he attacked. So he waited for one of them to separate from the others for some reason.
Luckily for him, one goblin had gotten a nature's call. Charlus followed him but didn't get too close to him. When he saw that the goblin was urinating, he was even tempted to leave that goblin. After all, these goblins had no sense of hygiene. Who would want to even touch them after knowing that they covered their hands with urine.
However, Charlus did not want to waste this opportunity either and crept towards the goblin. He stabbed it quickly before it could even turn around.
[You have defeated a Goblin]
[20 Exp Awarded]
[You have received Common Material: Loin Cloth]
What is with these disgusting Goblins?! Always dropping these disgusting things. Charlus was tempted to just leave this item but didn't. Who knew if it might be useful in the future.
Charlus decided that the goblins weren't that strong but it would still be reckless if he charged into the colony. So he decided to wait for the goblins to come out themselves. Like he expected, two goblins came to check why their companion hadn't returned yet.
Charlus sneaked behind one of the goblins and stabbed it. The other goblin noticed him but was too late. Charlus flipped the goblin to the ground and killed it. He found that the goblin was barely heavier than the Lvl 1 goblins.

Charlus was excited. He had finally received a skill. And the skill he received was the skill that would help him a lot. Charlus wasn't thinking about [Stab]. He was thinking about [Sneak]. He was imagining how it would be if no one heard him no matter how much noise he was making while moving. This skill was the best for running away.
Charlus was happy and didn't notice that a goblin had sneaked up on him. He heard a shrill noise from behind. The goblin was calling its colleagues. Or is it team mates? Similar looking things?
Anyway, Charlus quickly killed it. However, the damage was done. Goblins were going to come and Charlus needed to battle them. At this opportunistic time, Charlus saw a pleasing notification.
[You have defeated a Goblin]
[20 Exp Awarded]

Charlus looked at the direction of the colony. He was expecting multiple goblins to come. So he quickly hid in the bushes. If there weren't too many goblins, he would go in for the kills.
Charlus saw 7 goblins running towards his location. All of the goblins had come. Charlus guessed that the goblin had not called them with a war cry but a distress call. Charlus didn't want to fight them and stayed still.
The goblins came but didn't find their companions. They looked around until they looked at the bush that Charlus was hiding in. They quickly went towards it.
"How did they find out?"
Charlus still stayed still. He waited for the goblin to come close. The moment it came close, he stabbed it with his pocket knife. The goblin vanished. However, Charlus was exposed. he saw the 6 goblins turn towards him.
All of them jumped towards Charlus together. Charlus held his pocket knife tightly and tried to kill them first.
[-2 HP]
[-1 HP]
[-5 HP]
[-9 HP]
[-3 HP]
By the time Charlus killed just 4 goblins, 40 HP vanished. Charlus roared in anger.
"Damn you goblins!"
Charlus started stabbing the remaining goblins and killed them. He was finally left alone in the forest, but he wasn't happy.

Charlus was lucky that all the goblins he faced would die to a single hit, but he had still lost almost half his HP fighting them. He felt scared.
"What should I do? Can I heal quickly? Or increase my HP? How can I do that?"
He decided to put a point in Vit to check if it increased his HP. To his excitement, it increased by 10 points. Charlus put the rest of his points in Vit. After all, his life was the most important.
"Maybe I don't need to go after the Goblin Chieftain. The Quest did not specify any penalties for failure."
Charlus decided to go back to his house instead of risking his life and fighting the Goblin Chieftain. 6 goblins were deadly, who knew how strong a Goblin Chieftain was?
"Roar!!!"
Charlus heard a voice that seemed very similar to the shout of the goblin that called all the goblins. He looked and saw who it was.
It was a goblin that was dressed in a loin cloth. It had a necklace made of fangs and a club in its hand.
[Goblin Chieftain Lvl 4]
"Shit!"
--> Fight
--> Run
Charlus had no hesitation. He started running. However, the Goblin Chieftain was so agile that it was closing in on him. Charlus was able to notice this.
"If I run, I will lose energy. If I fight now, I won't be completely out of energy."
Charlus deliberately slowed down. The moment the Goblin Chieftain came near him, he stabbed it. he was stabbing from the front without looking, so he only grazed the chest.
[17 Damage]
Charlus rolled on the ground, coming to a stop. The Goblin Chieftain went too quickly and stopped a few meters away from him. Charlus looked at the Goblin Chieftain and found something new.
[Goblin Chieftain Lvl 4]
[HP - 83/100]
Charlus needed to hit the Goblin Chieftain 5 more times. Charlus charged towards the Goblin Chieftain. The Goblin Chieftain also charged towards Charlus. The goblin smacked Charlus' arm with the club in its hand while Charlus stabbed its other hand.
[17 Damage]
[-11 HP]
Charlus initially had 53 HP. After putting 5 points in Vit, that became 103. After this blow to his hand, his HP came down to 92. But the HP of the Goblin Chieftain went down to 66. Charlus was confident that as long as he hit the Goblin Chieftain as many times as he was hit, he would kill it without dying.
The goblin was slightly weaker but it charged. Charlus' could feel his hand becoming numb after the next exchange. However, Charlus ignored it and went in again.
When the Goblin Chieftain's HP became less than 20, it became afraid. It turned back to run away. Charlus didn't have the energy to chase it. So he threw the pocket knife in his hand at it.
"Thud!"
Charlus fainted. The adrenaline had wore down and he no longer had any more energy. So he collapsed in the forest.
