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.

Mountain Kings Domain

After teleporting back to the mountain, he remade his blood clones, because they were the lesser version, they could only go so long being away from him. It was something of a shame he couldn't just sit around and have his clones do it while he was in town, but he felt clones already made this too easy.

When the sun was halfway through the sky, the number stagnates. He was extremely confused, but he assumes that there nocturnal or something. He looks around until the sun sets and finds nothing. He's frustrated and somewhat hungry, so he heads over to Ruby.

He appears right where he left, and see Ruby on a bench with a cookie. He walks over and sits down she hands him a cookie, and they just sit there for a minute. After Johnathan finishes his cookie they start walking towards a building with a sign that reads "Silverwood inn"

"Well isn't that nice, an actual sign" Johnathan mutters

"Tell me about it." Ruby grumbles back.

"Just get a room with one bed, I'll be hunting for the night, and in about 3 days, I suspect someone will come over. There is no way this is being swept under the rug for longer than that."

After Ruby checks in, people can be seen glancing at Ruby with lecherous gazes. Not going unnoticed by Johnathan. They head up to their room 206. Soon after getting inside the room, Johnathan tosses Hell's Notebook to Ruby, but before he leaves he warns Ruby.

"I'm sure you noticed, but some people downstairs might get some ideas. So I'm leaving a clone here for now. It should last about 3 hours, and it's sense are linked with mine. So if anything happens I'll head over."

He then teleports away, leaving Ruby with a clone, and 9 unfinished volumes of manga.

After leaving the inn, Johnathan makes some more blood clones and starts hunting, but the only monsters he can find are golems. So after scouring around the mountains, he finds an odd little cave he'd never seen before. It was obviously more than it seemed, as he looked over the whole mountain, and didn't find this last night.

He walks inside, using his Silver Dragon and Vampire eyes in tandem, but he's equipped with 2 daggers, as it's to narrow from him to use other weapons without hitting the walls. He keeps walking for what feels like 15 minutes he hears roars in the distance. He then starts running at his top speed, sometimes he hits a wall, but he feels nothing.

He arrives to see a massive cavern filled with blood. On one side there's about 1000 Yetis, or he assumes those are. On the other side there's around 9000 goblins, 10 are standing around a 10 foot one sitting in a chair. He assumes it's a goblin emperor, the mutated version of goblin king, because they kings can only have around 3000 goblins.

After watching for a few minutes, he has good idea of the yetis powers. The use ice to launch massive ice spikes, or use them to defend, making ice walls. There was no fancy weaponry from them, just there fists and ice magic.

Johnathan then decides to join in the fray, there was no way he was letting all this free exp slip past him. So when he moves, he first takes out the goblin emperor. He appears in front of him and stabs him in the heart, and slits his throat. Before the guards can move towards him, he had already opened a portal under their feet, sending them from the top of the cave hurtling into the yetis. A loud crash can be heard as the goblin knights land. All the goblins start cheering, but then every being shudders as they feel an immense blood thirst above them. They all look up, and around 8000 goblins instantly faint upon seeing him, the rest are scared out of their wits. The yetis thinking this their chance, start a full blown offensive, but a wall flame 20 feet high suddenly appears before them. The yetis are all forced to bunch together to avoid burning, while Johnathan uses some of the corpse form before as blood bags, making the blood in them all bunch up in a giant sphere with a diameter of, which he then sends everywhere in a rain of spikes. He then lands and sees 12 yetis left and 200 goblins left standing. Not wanting this go on for much longer, he resummons his blood clones, and they start shredding through the remaining goblins, while he uses his blood manipulation to impale the remaining yetis while also shooting his feathers at them. After his little massacre, he goes to look at the number of monsters left when instead a quest window pops up instead.

Yeah, my discription for moutain king is pretty damn confusing, but bascaily, he is king, so mountain moves a bit for him if he needs it, and he knows where any presioucs resource it has is, he can see it like he has xray texture pack. No sentient mountain.
