Strange

Chapter one

Charles heard a happy voice: Hey everyone! I just found an another scroll!!! Then he quickly rushed from where the voice came, he was a member of the (ST) Starvers clan, and everyone wanted to know what the next update is, and the scrolls contained information about the next update. Then he heard a scary hiss, from the same direction, and saw little Tom poking the spider with his wooden sword, but the spider was not alone... The wolf knocked Tom to the ground, while the spider ended being cut in half, wolf prepared to eat the little starver, but Charles drawed his sword and landed a strong blow on the wolf's back, saving Tom. Are you ok, Tommy? - asked Charles Yeah but... quick, save the scroll!!! Wolf's blood already soaked half of the scroll, Charles grabbed the scroll, but it was too late... Leader of the tribe, Simon, tried to read the scroll by exposing it to the sun from the empty side and reading it from the other side, but the most of the text was still unreadable. What did you read, great leader? - Charles Nah, just some bug fixes, garlic bread and fish sandwich - Simon Then the sunlight got brighter and Simon was able to read more... then Simon fainted. After a minute, when Simon recowered, the flood of questions began; What happened? Are you hurt? Why do you fainted? Simon answered: I can't believe what I just read, I probably got crazy, someone else read it please, I don't believe in what I just read! Charles grabbed the scroll, and his whole body started trembling when he read the same words, then he yelled loudly: Bow and Arrow was added!!!!!That's just what I read, said Simon. Everyone silenced.(edited)

Chapter two

The silence got longer and longer, no one wanted to speak, since that thing was too weird to be real. When finally the leader decided to speak, some loud thudding was heard near the main gate of the village. That definitely isn't knocking, it's much louder - said someone from the crowd Then the gate broke, and a mob of blood-thirsty warriors and rogues equipped with golden swords, spears, helmets, hammers, and golden "MG" initials gravered on their armor's chestplates rushed inside, while screaming: For the glory, loot, and our leader [MG]HARSH!!! Simon: Meeting ends right now, defend the village!!! Some warrior from the village: But we don't have enough weaponsSo use anything!For example? Pickaxes won't do much against spears!This! - Said Simon, while throwing a heavy, stone spiked ball, normally used for advanced fortifications, at one of the enemies heads, crushing his lance in the process. All of the other starvers started doing the same, and after a short time, not only a third of the attackers were dead, but there was also a barricade of spikes, separating the attackers from the defenders. But it was clear that [MG]HARSH don't wanted to give up so easy, although he lost so much people, he was raged that he lost so much people, and that's why he don't wanted to give up. He left, while leaving half of the people he had left from his elite squad, under the command of his trusted apprentice, Joker. A Siege had begun, on one side there were attackers, slamming the wooden walls and stone spikes with golden hammers, hoping to find weak and undefended spots, while the defenders were repairing the walls with spanners, not allowing the MG's to break inside. The situation seemed good, since all the walls and spikes kept having above half of the health all of the time, but there was one problem: The water and food were ending, and starvers, as their name implies, need a lot of food...(edited)

Chapter three

So what we'll do now? The supplies are ending! Anyone has some food for me? - yells like those were all around the surrounded village, with the noise of banging hammers all around, while the tribe's leader, Simon, kept analysing the scroll again and again, trying to craft a bow, or at least find it on the recipes list, and delicately scraping off the wolf's blood from the scroll, to read more of it, with nothing new discovered. Meanwhile, in the [AG] clan, there was a big quarrel: We need to help [MG]'s in the siege, that village is tough, but It's nothing for us, victorious [AG]'s!!! - [AG]Tangra Although Harsh promised that we will get all the loot from it, how we can be sure that he won't just betray us? - [AG] Die or run How dare you even suspect things like that! To the prison with him!Calm down leader, think about it, we are both fighting for domination in this world, and that siege will be an easy ocassion for him to backstab us, and kill our whole clan.Ok... so what do you propose? If we won't sent anyone, it will ruin our reputation "as the ones who don't fear anything"(edited)

And who was the one who was escaping from one single piranha yesterday, Tangra? Who? It was you xD - [AG]qwertyuiop Shut up!!! Yelled Tangra while slicing his clan member in half, with a sharp amethyst sword. Ok, Die or run... Let's get back to the discussion... So what do you propose? Sent someone with a 1/4 of our people, the ones who don't had been in any sieges or battles yet, so we won't risk too much, plus they will get some free training Someone... Someone... Hmmm... I probably know who will be this "someone"... Said Tangra, while looking at [AG]Die or Run, with a suspiciously evil smile. Umm... You don't mean me leader, right?Yes, I mean you, [AG]Die or Run, you will sure fit as a commander there, since you never were in a siege, and you will get some "free training"Please don't do this to me, great Leader, I'm proud of that task, but from what I heard, sieges are extremally boring...You also need some hammering skills, so you will go there, now we just need people. Who wants to join [AG]Die or run in a siege? Everyone was silent Seriously, absolutely no volunteers? Some starvers were kicked out of the line, as "forced volunteers". For honor? For glory? We need 21 more people. Still silence For Loot? Almost everyone started running towards [AG]Die or run, yelling I'll join the siege! Me too!!! How much will I get? Ok guys, I know most of you, some of you, some of you are new here, that I don't already know, I will choose some of you - [AG] Die or run(edited)

Chapter four

Simon kept delicately cleaning the scroll, and soon more text was visible... it was about crossbows, cannons, and other stuff from starver's worst nightmares, only whe title was still under a thick layer of wolf's blood, making it unreadable. The [MG]'s were already tired frop slamming the village walls with heavy, golden hammers, and villagers don't seemed to want to give up with repairing the walls, so they stopped banging, and were just surrounding the village, making sure that no one will escape. Meanwhile, at the AG's... The trip is so long... may we attack some random village to loot some supplies? - [AG] Yolo Sure, but I don't see even a single house... - [AG]Die or Run Why is Yolo even with us? I saw him with amethyst once, and often with diamond gear... - [AG] team pls Um... Don't tell Tangra... But... I did it for your good, we need at least one experienced warrior - [AG] Die or Run Ah ok... I won't tell Tangra if you will instantly get some food for us, I'm starving - [AG] team pls Wait... I see some house over there! ...Nevermind, it was a rockI guess that We must try to get to the MG's siege camp as soon as possible, maybe they have some foodNo need for that, I see some house! And it's for sure not a rock this time! No, it's a whole village! Attack!!!After [AG] Die or run yelled out those words, the whole horde o AG's rushed on the village, but soon they stopped.Why the heck do you stopped, you were such "hungry" and desperate to find some village three seconds ago! Thrornbushes, boss, some unedible thornbushes are blocking the way. So cut threw them, what are you waiting for? Ag's started cutting threw the only defense of that tiny village, and villagers soon realized that they are being attacked, so they started to escape threw the secret exit, but one person remained inside, wielding a diamond spear in his hand.

Why you won't escape? They had heavily outnumbered us, there are probably more than one hundred of them! - Old Farmer Bruce I won't just let them take my farm for free, they will pay for it! - Rik Are you crazy or stupid? Come on, escape with us!Nope, I'm for sure more skilled in fights than themThat's why everyone around calls you stupid, you overestimate yourself too much, but ok, it's your choice. Said Bruce, while entering the secret, underground tunnel. Soon, AG's cutted threw the thornbushes, and rushed towards the small group of houses, It looks like it's abadoned, somehow, but keep an eye on everything - [AG] Die or run No, it's not abadoned, first deal with me, fools! - Rik Who was that!Someone smarter than youWhere are you, stupidSomewhereGo out and fight like a manFind me first, you mindless killers AG's started searching for Rik, and suddenly, a sharp, diamond spear jumped out heap of hay, and pierced threw 3 agressors at once, then Rik jumped out of the hay, and waited for the enemy's next move. So there you are! Come here and fight us now!No, you should try to kill me, you are the attackers here, right? 3 Ag's rushed with their golden swords towards Rik, but all of them ended with heavy wounds on their bellies, from the sharp spear's tip.

Ok, who's next? Come on, attack me, kill me for no reason, you dumb savages! Someone tried attacking Rik with a spear, without any result, Rik just dodged the hit, then catched the wooden part of the opponent's spear and broke it in half, then pierced his forehead with his spear. Burn him down! - [AG] Yolo Ag's started throwing flaming pieces of wood at Rik, succeeding to set his back on fire, then Rik rushed at the Ag's with his spear, piercing threw 4 of them at once, dropping his spear, and hoping to get to the well before he burns down, getting some sword hits in the process, he made it to the well, jumped inside, extinguished the fire and then... drowned. How much people we lost? - [AG] Die or run Seven are dead, and three have heavy wounds... but we at least have food and water - [AG] team pls I'm now sure about the water, that crazy man jumped inside of the well, and now the water is dirtyWho cares? I'm really thirsty.Um... I'd rather not dring that mix of water, mud and blood, so find something else to drink for me.

Chapter five

AG's already wanted to march towards the surrounded village, especially [AG] Die or run, but there was a powerful force that stopped almost all of them in their tents. Diaeherra. The leader of the squad, [AG] Die or run, was trying to force his soldiers to follow him, but with no effect. Come on, we're only one mile away from our prey - [AG]Die or run But my belly hurts So much!I can't go with you, sorryI can't too, blame the one who intoxidated the water with himselfCursed Rik! Yells like those were the only answer to the commander's orders. But how did they knew Rik's name? He never introduced himself to them. When the farmers were escaping with the secret tunnel, AG's from the flank guard heard whispers under their feet, one of them spashed the ground with a hammer, the tunnel collapsed, and all the farmers were captured, interrogated, and turned into slaves. Meanhile, at the surrounded village... Charles, that idea was briliant! It's stupid that I don't thouht about it... - Simon No problem, it's normal that older people somethimes forget things, fortunatelly we had some berry seeds left in our storage, and that berry farm can give us food forever! - Charles Now we must think how to defeat those pesky MG's, this siege is just boring...I'd rather not disdain them, they are way bigger in numbers, and we won't be able to spike them so easly next time.You are right, it should probably stay as it is for now, I hope that no one will come to support them, but that scroll... all of this OP stuff, I can't believe that Lapa and Mauve would do something like that... bows and arrows... ehh...Maybe someone forced them?

I don't think so... even 100 noobs with wooden pickaxes aren't a big threat for our kings, noobs can just steal food ant items from chestsNoobs don't have only wooden pickaxes.The ones with stone gear have some skills, and most of them don't want bow & arrow anymore... wait, I got it now, noobs have also wooden helmets and swords now!And 100 noobs with wooden gear are already something, maybe they captured Lapa and Mauve, and forced them to add it!We must sent someone to check it, but it's impossible during the siege... well, be must do something right now, or it may be too late. After a whole week, AG's already cured the disease, and were running towards the village as fast as possible, but they stopped as some person in a light peasant's tunic jumped on the road, and gesticulated like she had something important to say. Who are you, and why are you stopping our army. - said [AG] Yolo, now leader of the front guard I'm Softy, and I wanted to ask you all a very long and important question - said the girl in a peasant's tunic Ok, ask it, but quickly, we must hurryWhy are you even killing those all innocent people? I saw everything, you burned and robbed the whole farm, enslaved most of the farmers, and you killed the only person who was defending the farm, why did you do so? You could gather all the supplies in the nearby forest! Shame on you, EXPLAIN why you had even did so?Shut up, we are the kings here, so we do everything that we want, and you are blocking our path, we should had been at the front while the rest of the army is already waiting intil we move, kill this guy right now, soldiers!

No way, she's right, why we are even attacking innocent people, risking our lives for that, robbing their items? Just to "conquer the forest, and dominate"? That's such stupid, I'm out, go to that village yourself. - [AG] Ash You are totally right, Ash, we can just make a giant open berry farm, people will be thankful for free food, and there will be no need for domination! - [AG] Diana That's a crazy idea, we will discuss about it later, now kill this guy and go to support MG's! - [AG] Yolo Nope, we won't kill this peaceful person, she is right, why we should "domitate" the whole world? And why we are even rushing to support MG's? To kill innocents? No way we're going to talk about it later, explain yourselves now! - [AG] Daisy Ok guys, we really don't have time to talk now, those who don't want to fight go away, and try to convince Tangra, or else you will be decapitated - [AG] Die or Run One third of the AG's started moving in the opposite direction. But what about Softy? - [AG] Diana You will share her fate if you will try to save her, that peasant stopped our army, and we wasted our time, so according to the guidelines our leader, [AG] Tangra gave us, she deserves a death pentatly for that, catch her right now, my brave warriors! Softy was running as fast as she could, increasing the distanse from soldiers equipped with heavy, golden armor, but on the road, there was a stone, and Softy accidentally tripped on it, felling on the ground. Hah! Now we got you, you small bastard! - Said [AG] Yolo while running towards Softy with a sword in his hand. This is the end- Thought Softy, paralysed with fear Suddenly a Stranger with a Winter Hood, a dragon sword in his hand, and a ninja-like posture jumped off the tree. Stop right there, Yolo - Said the stranger

W-what are you doing here, who are you, and how to you even know my name?I spectated you for a really long time, [AG] Yolo, and It's clear that you are a ruthless savage, I won't allow anyone of you to touch this innocent peasant, first you must deal with me, I am... The Stranger took a deep breath. The Peace Keeper

Chapter six(edited)

Our lord, one of your farms got attacked and burned to the ground! - Roger What? Why our troops don't defended the village? - Golden-Lord It was lunch time... Heck, I'm sometimes way too kind for my servants... But things like those never happened before, I'm sure that they won't just let the whole farm to burn just because it's lunch time.Unfortunately they did so... I saw them far away, they were just sitting by the table while the farm was burning... gross...Their salary will be cut to half for things like those for sure, if they will do anything like that again. The soldier jumped inside of the room, carrying a scroll. Our lord, we're very sorry about that, I heard what you were suspecting... it surely wasn't what it looked like. - Soldier It wasn't what it looked like... yea, yea, I see the update scroll... but it isn't so important right now, you just had let those rogues to destroy my property, and kill innocent people, while you were just reading about the new update... Your salaries will be cut to half for that. - Golden-Lord But... but... we don't realized that the farm was under attack at firstAre you kidding me... It was impossible, you were just half a mile away.Let me explain: We were guarding nearby villages, when one of us found the update scroll, everyone was curious, we opened the scroll, but then we realized that the spider had layed eggs inside for some reason... everything was stuck in cobweb, and the only word we were able to read was "arrow"... we were sitting there stunned by that weird fact, discussing about this, and then we heard an agony scream, we turned around, and we saw a huge fight in one of the nearby farms, we wanted to kill those attackers, but those weren't just ordinary rogues... those were AG's, in way bigger amount than us. Golden-Lord grabbed the scroll from the soldier's hands, looked at it, then said:

That's probably just a fake scroll, made by our enemies just to fool us, this can't be true, the fact that AG's are near matters more... They aren't very skilled warriors, but they always come in large groups, If they will attack this castle, it's over.___ [AG] Yolo was laying on the ground, with a dragon sword above his head, while rest of the AG's stared in horror, wondering how it was possible for a single man to beat their most skilled warrior, while dodging their hits at the same time, without even a scratch. Please spare me, o great Peace Keeper, I won't kill even a moskit if you won't kill me, please! - [AG] Yolo I can't do this, you must get punishment for what you had did. I know that you are a person who shouldn't be trusted, but ok, if you release those poor farmers, I will give you one last chance, don't waste it. Yolo's friends quickly released the captured farmers, then, the peace keeper slashed Yolo's face with his sword, giving him a big wound on it. I gave you the chance, but also have this, to remember about what you said, every time when you will think about dealing any harm to innocents. After that, he slowly walked away, With him knowing that he won't be able to beat all of the AG's solo, and with AG's too feared to attack him. Some time later, at the village... Our great leader, it seems that MG's had received support from someone, we keep repairing the walls, but they are slowly loosing durability! - Some soldier from the surrounded village Do we have any more spikes? - Simon, the leader of the village NoFind some resources to craft them I searched for them already, we have some gold and wood, but there is absolutely no stone left So break the furnances!(edited)

But we will freeze to death at night! Leave only the one in the bunker This one, under your house? Yes! Half of the villagers grabbed their hammers, while the other half was repairing the walls, giving the others precious time to craft golden spikes and other weapons for defence. MG's united With AG's soon broke the wall, but the villagers were prepared, holding golden spears, swords, and spikes. The villagers were fighting bravely, especially charles, who was slicing enemies one by one with his trusty sword, made of pure gold, desperated to defend the village. AG's were dying like flies to the golden spikes, but MG's weren't such an easy task; they had some actual skill from previous battles, and exsceled at spear combat, and thus, the defenders started loosing. MG's and AG's deadly push killed almost half of the villagers, before they had time to hide into a bunker, that was rather a small cave quarried-out in a giant rock under the village. What will we do now? - Some person from the crowd I seriously don't know, we can't farm berries here, and the food that we stored here won't last even for a week... we will probably just die here, we don't even asked any of the nearby landlords for protection. - Simon So why we won't just go out and die proudly, killing some enemies before death, instead of staying here and waiting for death from starvation? - Charles Calm down bro, I know that it would be probably a better choice, but if we go out of the bunker now, we will just die one by one from enemy's spears, and here we have a slight chance to survive... we can still eat worms et celera when the supplies end...Um... It don't seems as a very intresting choice but ok, you are the leader here. Suddenly loud battle noises were heard, noises of clashing swords, swinging spears, and yells of agony, all around the bunker.
