Ocular Menace: Misadventures of a Man with many Eyes

Johnathan Reed had just finished celebrating his 18 birthday, when like any self-respecting novel protagonist, died to the hands of Truck-Kun. He laments in his last moments the fact he never made it past 24 hours of adulthood, and should have looked before crossing the road. Next thing he knows he's in a old medieval style house. After successfully running away from the house, and whatever problems might come from meeting people, he's in the middle of nowhere until he hears the classic *Ding* any gamer would be familiar with. The Art Is Not Mine. If you are the owner of the art and want it down. let me know and I'll oblige. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --Do I have you interested? please do let me know of any feedback you have, as again, this is solely for my own enjoyment and to improve my literary skills. I'm the only person proofreading this, and the grammar is probably killing you, so just bear with me, because English was never my best subject Also my jokes could be unfunny, let me know. Also I will do my best for compelling characters, but again first time writing. so stuff like romance might flop and be underwhelming for people and is probably gonna be a side bit, not the main focus and later on.

He sees most of his magical resistances are gone. But in exchange, he feels the effect of all his eyes at once in full capacity. Making him feel twice as strong. It's a shame that he can't cast magic of other elements, but he wasn't even expecting to have the passive's always active, so this was a major win in his books.

He then spends the day hunting goblins. It was pretty uneventful. He just tried out different things with his eyes. he didn't bother with his wings today because he was adjusting to the new eyes. His creation and manipulation skills were incomparable to last time. He could make a 10 foot western style dragon of any element with little difficulty. He could make said dragon about 70 times before his Mana felt low. By that time they were walking home. He had killed only 15 goblins today. Getting him 300 exp, leaving about 600 exp left till level 6. He assumed the goblins roaming outside had drastically decreased because of the massacre yesterday. While they still were stupid. There little bit of intelligence wasn't for nothing.

Entering their room, the Ruby's eyes start to gleam. "Can I have it now?" The desperation in her voice is clear, making him wonder how someone taking this out of listening to this would feel about the situation. But he soon takes out the manga and tosses it to her. After that he lies down on the bed and closes his eyes, and wonders what path he's going to take.

Should be noted my usual goal of 2 chaps a day may not be fulfilled, as family issues are coming up. The change in exp is me fixing my math errors. Forgot to put it there last time. please help, since I didn't finish 2 chaps yesterday, I'm doing the stats on my phone. Words cannot describe the pain I feel.
