This is a very good story. It shows how the horrors that took place as the world transformed, a perfect example. I like how it ends too, we can all bet that he is horribly slaughtered, but that does not stop him from defending himself.

Overdose wrote a great short story, and I think it is fair to say it's one of the best I've seen on the THG theme. It is still something I see when I read a lot of the stories on here, past and present, about how people view the monsters.
People play the game and slaughter monsters left, right, and center. That's a game. In the actual story of how people progressed through the hunting grounds, travellers made a good deal of effort NOT to get into confrontations. People did not "level up". Fighting Vallatio was not a choice.
Overdose made about as close to what the spreading of the hunting grounds was really like. I think another story could be made to translate that for a city, like Dainaria. Much bigger scale, though.

Hey guys...long time no see. Might as well just say hi in this topic and say I'm back. I have a lot of catching up to do it seems. I'm flattered that you would keep my story. Really. But...I don't see it though..?

It was real...that's what got me. It wasn't "Dragoon does super jump and cuts imp in half, kills Vallatio, becomes prince.." No...It was humble, freaky, and fit the theme. So I kept it.  -Dagolar |

The story should be on the "Story from an old player" thread. Which is a bit lower down from this one. The story and comments are kept separate.
