Earth: An RPG

Chapter 4: Final Floor

The fifth floor, it was just like all the previous rooms except of course for the enemy on this level. There was a single man standing on this floor, he had a rapier on his right hand and a dagger in his left, he wore a suit of metal plated armor with a blue cape.

He slowly walked towards me as I equipped my spear. He picked up the speed and I attempted to thrust the spear into him, he parried it away with his dagger and attempted to stab me with the rapier. I tried moving out of the way, but his blade still found its way to my body. Luckily, my armor reduces slashing and piercing damage quite well.

I backed away and equipped my sword and shield, "Okay. New plan!"

I walked slowly towards him making sure to cover my body well with my shield. It was a medium sized shield that, when my arm was extended, would cover most of my body.  I got close and as soon as I saw the opponent make a move, I extended my arm, and his dagger clashed against my shield. I twisted my hand a bit and push his dagger aside while slightly opening my guard allowing me to thrust the sword into the opponen. Hee too was wearing armor, so he barely lost any health.

I got rid of the shield and held only my sword in my right hand. "God I hope this works." I knew his attack would not deal too much damage, so I flipped my sword around and grabbed it by it's edge as carefully yet tightly as I could. As he stabbed me with his rapier I brought my sword down and smashed his helmet in with the guard. He fell on the ground with a groan and stopped moving though still alive. "Huh, better than I thought."

"Special Skill Unlocked! Half Swording: grab your sword by the blade and attack your opponent with the guard or pommel to deal bludgeoning damage."

The Knight groaned as he slowly tried to stand back up, but I smashed his head in once more with the guard of my sword.

I spat on his body as it slowly faded away. "Get wrecked. Noob." I smiled at my own victory, exited the floor and ventured to the next.

The sixth floor was infested by giant spiders. They were all the size of a small dog like a chihuahua. This is such a video game cliché and I hate these wretched creatures. I don't even want to describe what happened. Summary: I wielded a spear to make sure I did not have to come within 3 feet of those horrifying creatures and stabbed them from afar. That said, let's move on to the next floor.

Pyromancers ruled the seventh floor. They wore black robes that covered most of their bodies, their eyes barely visible, their mouths and hands left uncovered by their robes. As soon as I got here they started throwing fireballs and breathing fire at me. I equipped my bloodlust buff once more, I was gonna test a few things.

I dodged the fireballs and streams of their fire breath as best as I could. When I got to the pyromancer, I landed several strikes targeting the chin. I did not kill him outright, but he walked wobbily and fell down.

"Special Skill Unlocked! Concussion Blow: Strike your opponent's chin harshly to make them groggy and make them fall. Applies status effect confusion and knock down to players."

I stepped away from the pryomancer's fading body and looked for my next victim. "Alright, my little guinea pig, you're gonna help me test out the double roundhouse kick."

From the knowledge I gained about roundhouse kicks when I unlocked the skill, I learned that roundhouse kicks can be chained together. I got behind the flame sorcerer and chained together two roundhouse kicks, he stumbled to the side opposite of where the second kick came from. He tried to correct his balance and put his feet under him, but he tripped over himself and fell.
