Mind break

After the magic experiment of fireball i got myself a lighter which only last for 1 second and had to throw a skill point on it but i think it will grow in the due course i wonder did mc get his magic still i took the sword and started to walk towards the town and then one thought struck my mind does the thing i collect have descriptions i had to check it so i took the sword in my hand and fixed my eyes on it and concentrated to see.its descriptions there was none so the next thing i tried was pick up the phone and search for some description and i found a scanner that gave its description :


                                       damage : 1-20


                                      Combined skill : none 


                                       Durability :  5/100


Now the weapon is almost unsuable and i trust the description but i have my own doubts what is a combined skill do i have to buy it will skill points or what and last question how do i return there is no map so no fast travel and without the map i am lost when suddenly the phone rings and announces the bonus quest : 


Take your ascendence as a hero no matter what


failure : electrocution leading to death 


i definately don't want that but i think it is going to be hectic but for it to issue the bonus quest like that it means there has to be a reason as i was thinking that an arrow went across my shoulders with an archer holding the bow steady


I was very startled with that arrow but i knew he missed on purpose i should begin negotiations 


"What do you want, i don't have any money on me all i have is this rusted sword on me "


well i had bullets fly by me this is nothing but still the archer had competance so i had to take him seriously 


"i want something that you have the jewel  give it.to me.or die " that was like the line of a villian 


i had to get out of this situation so i got an idea i picked up a rock and threw it towards him and it caught him of guard and i ran towards him with my sword and threw it at him  


the hilt touched his forehead and he was seeing a long dream while i picked up his bow and arrows and i picked up his armor it was a leather one there were 5 parts one for chest 


2 for legs  2 for both shoulders and leather boots 


He also had a pouch of coins so i did what any gentleman would do snatch it gracefully 


I would have to hide for how long oh my god i don't know but i have to hide for the night
