The Ruined City
An extract from a LitRPG tale
This is an extract from my web-novel, The Tooth and Claw Guild — A Shifter LitRPG Story. It’s easy from this scene to see here how it gets the subtitle! If you enjoy it, perhaps I can share the whole thing on Medium — let me know 😎
Slowly, stealthily, Ricky approached the ruined gateway of the city.
The wagon had long since disappeared out of sight now, trundling on towards the southern villages as Ricky walked towards his destination. He had also finished his beef jerky, with further gains to hit points as a result of this, as well as some sporadic increases which he assumed to be due to the passing of time:
*Healing report: You have gained 2 hit points (51 remain).
*Healing report: You have gained 2 hit points (53 remain).
*Healing report: You have gained 1 hit point (54 remain).
*Healing report: You have gained 1 hit point (55 remain).
*Healing report: You have gained 1 hit point (56 remain).
Pausing at the sign of movement from up ahead, Ricky stood still for a long spell, and then moving away slowly to some rocks that lay off to the side of the road.
