The Arcane Archer

The way I"ll be doing this is by just extending the details of everything, adding more jokes. and allowing more words and stuff into the mix. Kinda like what I"m doing now to hit my work count... Yup.

But anyways, if this chapter doesn"t work out that well, I"ll go back to my old writing style and try finding another way to extend the pace of it or something.

I also wonder if people still read these because of how often I do them and everything...

~~~~~~~~~~

A few weeks pa.s.sed by as I trained constantly with the group and the General. Everyday was pretty much the same thing over and over with me being beaten up, slightly raising my skills, getting blackout drunk thanks to the group, and getting a daily increase of 8 points in my weakest stat score which I feel like is very OP (A/N- It is ;-; Curse my stupidity.)

First, let"s talk about my skills and what happened to them over the last 3 weeks. First my {Alcohol Resistance} became level 8 and has seemed to have stagnated even though I constantly get drunk. {Quick Improvisational Thinking} increased only by a singular level and still didn"t seem to do that much.

{Taekwondo} became level 6 after constantly kicking people and things over and over. h.e.l.l, I even kicked myself in the face once and leveled it up. {Basic Earth Attunement} increased by one bringing it to 4 even though I did nothing but live underground for a while... Still have no clue why it leveled up though.

{Knife Throwing} increased by two bringing it to level 7 and allowing me to throw a knife pretty well. {Meditation} increased by two as well, brining it to level 6 after I realized how useful it was after every spar I had with the general and the group. {Quick Draw} leveled up once bringing it to level 6 and allowing me to draw an arrow 12 times faster than usual which still felt incredibly slow against everyone unless I was using {Super Speed} and even then it still felt slow. Makes you wonder what their stats are like right?

{Intermediate Regeneration} leveled up once bringing it to level 5 and that only happened because of how bad I was doing when faced against someone who wasn"t purely melle based and had to get close to me allowing me to fire arrows back. {Pain Numbing} also leveled up once bringing it to level 6 as well probably for the same exact reason. And finally, the last skill that leveled up during my 3 weeks of training with the dwarves was, drum roll please...

{Slight Fall Resistance}! Probably forgot I had that skill didn"t ya? It leveled up only once but the way I leveled it up was incredibly stupid. I was walking down to training one day and sneezed from the dust in the air or something and the momentum of the sneeze and me walking caused me to somehow fall face first into the wall before I backed up and fell on my b.u.t.t causing the skill to level up.

If you"ve been keeping track as well, you probably noticed that no magic skills leveled up. That was because I was told not to and even when I attempted to do it in secret, the somehow figured it out and sent me to train with the General.

Ever since that day, I would try here and there to work on my magic but some f.u.c.king how they always found out and would send me to the General who had a face of pure rage every single time.

I have nightmares about that face.

Now that you"re caught up with all the skills and stuff, let me tell you what"s happening right now. Currently, I am waiting in line to talk to the Queen because I was told by a guard that she wanted to speak to me and sadly I wasn"t given a fast pa.s.s to skip this wonderful line and talk to her directly.

I spend a solid hour or so pa.s.sing the time with my new friend Ashanti something something. Forgot what her last name was but she was a very nice old dwarf who said that I reminded her of her grandson. She also attempted to pat me on my head but failed miserably so I just knelt down and hugged her instead.

After the nice talk and encounter with my now Dwarf Grandma, I finally got to the end of the line and was able to walk through the doors guarded by the Queen"s guards and talk to the Queen.

The Queen herself sat in a throne made of solid gold with diamonds, emeralds, rubys, and various other fancy gems embedded into it. In front of her throne was stairs leading up to her with two brazier at the very top which were also both lit and making the only light in the room.

"Leo!" The Queen called out upon seeing me come through the doors. "It"s so nice to see you again. Though I wonder what took you so long. Did the Guard just talk to you a few minutes ago or did you wait in that dreadfully awful line outside the doors?"

I looked behind me to the doors before turning back.

"I waited in line. Asked one of the guards if I should wait or if they knew what I needed to do. They just pointed to the line with a dead look before turning back to face something off in the distance." I replied before shrugging.

She shook her head.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk, it seems like I"ll have to talk to that guard once I get some free time. But that"s not what I summoned you here for today. I"ve heard from the General that you"ve finally reached the strength of one of our own!"

"Really?!" I asked both in surprise and question.

"Yes! A dwarven child." She said while smiling as if what she just said was a compliment. "While this may not seem like much to you, it means you"ve finally reached the strength required to do a mission or two for me and gain some much needed experience on how to do somethings."

"Ok but what kind of missions would you allow someone with the strength of a child to do?"

"Oh very simple and easy ones of course! What you"ll be doing is delivering things that I need delivered and stick around that person who"ll teach you a few things. This should hopefully give you some experience. Including if they"re about to fight something and request your help, though you may still be incredibly weak."

I covered my face with my hands and screamed internally. I was originally hoping that I would be able to do something cool like become part of the fight and show how much I learned or something. But nope, I"m going to be a delivery boy for the Queen.

"Reginald, would you kindly bring over Leo"s new gear and stuff please?" She asked one of the guards before turning back to me. "I had some equipment handmade just for you. I hope they fit and that they allow people to understand your new job a.s.signed to me."

By this time, the guards who the Queen called Reginald had came up to me with some regular looking clothing and a satchel which seemed to have something in it already.

"Go find a place to get dressed and then visit the General, he will be your first delivery for the day before he sends you off to your next one who will then do the same and so forth. Once I get word from other people about certain things, we"ll see about what you"ll do next after this job. Now run off and do your job to the best of your abilities! Toodaloo~."

A guard put their hand on their back and slightly pushed me to the doors. I quickly left before going to the room where the group and I slept and happily found that they weren"t there.

Gently placing the satchel on my bed to not destroy whatever was in it, I held the clothes in hand before spiking it into the ground with disdain over what just happened. Doing this a few more times, I alleviated the anger in my system of the stupidity of what I was just a.s.signed to do and everything.

All I could imagine was a young post boy back on earth who ran an errand or two for their parents and got repaid with like a dollar or two. It felt morally degrading and I hated that I was still somehow incredibly weak even though I trained for a while with a bunch of cheats, increasing all my scores to be above 80 which means they pretty much doubled, and even then still couldn"t hold a finger against even Grel who"s entire thing about combat was running away and my thing about shooting people who were running away.

I continued to grumble and mumble to n.o.body but myself about how stupid this was while I started getting dressed in the clothing that I was given after a quick spending of 3 System points to clean it. After getting dressed fully, I looked in my handheld mirror and could only look at how stupid I looked.

I could feel my self confidence dropping to the negatives as seconds pa.s.sed. Breathing in deeply in hopes that I would be able to think of something to regain some self confidence, I went to the satchel before quickly looking inside to see what I was going to be delivering.

Inside was a simple white scroll with a red wax seal keeping it closed. There was no heavy signifer about what it was about so I simply put the scroll back into the satchel, put the satchel on, and the left my room while hoping that I didn"t actually look as stupid that I thought I did.
