Быть Гладу и Хладу / There will be Hunger and Cold: 8. - 2

The first comment was stolen, I was offended, and now I'm quitting my job. That's it. Basta.

Okay, seriously, I'm not quitting, and not because of the first comment, but, alas, I'm taking a break. The next two or even three Thursdays will be NOT REAL, I REPEAT THE NEXT TWO OR THREE THURSDAYS WILL BE NOT REAL!!!

I need to seriously improve my health, and the overall workload for these weeks is such that I mostly keep swearing quietly. In my defense, I will say that this chapter has 20,000 words and 134,000 characters, already counting as three full chapters of the originally planned volume. Plus the last one was about the same. :)

Now to the chapter itself.

There, both in the real world and in the Broken world, those guns of problems that had been silent until now fired. The jealous man, whom Ilya had noticed back at the party named after the solemn self-immolation, finally revealed his bitchiness, turning out to be completely inadequate. He had initially been rolled like that, and had already installed cameras in Irina's apartment (and bathroom) back then. And then he simply saw on those cameras a joint shower of two lonely people and, jerking off and crying, decided that the insidious homewrecker, who had taken his beloved away from a cool guy, should be shut up.

Seriously, one of the most dangerous fights in the entire story, despite the complete lack of special effects. Only the fight with the three liquidators is more dangerous, but I can't say it's much more dangerous. Young, trained, armed, a very unpleasant opponent for Ilya, who is not an epic hero at all. He was saved by a successful, almost critical roll on disarmament (97), albeit taking into account the bonus, but he managed to knock the knife out. And also a lousy roll by Oleg himself, when he missed with his club and was unable to immediately kill the main character.

If he had been hit by a reinforced shock element, the main character would have died there, and the story would have moved entirely to the Broken. A considerable loss. I have many plans for Earth, and access to the Forum and its secrets is most often lost or severely limited for those who have migrated. And, in the case of "involuntary" migration through forced deformation of the skull, it is always desappeare.

Another funny thing is the story of Spellmancer, which, as you can easily guess, is another echo of the original hentai plans for the work. In the original, that plot arc with the militant granny (she looks thirty at most) and the forced Bender Gender could have happened to the main character, and the plot outline of it was an attempt to get his male dick back and not get caught by the mother of two not-quite-raped girls, as well as by himself. Because the Dreamer mother and her daughters would have tried extremely hard to diversify the life of the main character, who had done them harm.

Took a twenty-minute nap, woke up half a day later, and suddenly decided to do something very logical and correct. No slash was planned there anyway, but he would have apologized orally to those sisters, their girlfriends, and Mother Dreamer a lot. Well, the story didn't work out, so what, but for someone else it did. I had to change a lot in the original plan, change the characters, and slightly rework the whole plot of events, transferring them to the Broken, not the Hentai World. But these are just little things.

Camrad_RIP 26.07.25 в 07:48

The most critical crit in the chapter and the book is old Ryuk. Here, as for me, there is some kind of lag, because the program for throwing 1d100 lags (or my mouse lags), but there were five pure hundreds in a row without any bonuses - this is mathematically unrealistic. The roll was on the danger of old Ryuk, the candy master, and it turned out WOW.

Camrad_RIP 26.07.25 в 07:36

Making the grandfather the first officially encountered Six seemed excessive and idiotic to me, so I removed most of the laggy rolls, but left the first hundred, and then repeated the roll and got 95 - a strong Three. Later, when writing his backstory, a very funny combination of such and, in fact, character fell out, but I will not spoil it here. I will only say that the hero was simultaneously terribly unlucky and just as fantastically lucky with the chances of getting out of the nightmare without much loss.

Camrad_RIP 26.07.25 в 07:37

And yes, FaFo was not blamed for anything, but the hero was wrong to blame his one. I won't say more.

Camrad_RIP 26.07.25 в 07:06

What else is funny? Well, a crazy trader who decided to scam and rob a fool lost a couple of his best fixers. It's not the first time he's done this; it just worked before, and he started relatively recently, so his reputation hasn't had time to suffer. And he allowed himself to put pressure on individuals and small groups. He bought everything from normal squads fairly, even more fairly than some, which is why his popularity didn't fall. And here is a classic overestimation of himself and underestimation of events.

Camrad_RIP 26.07.25 в 07:22

Ironically, he was quite considering the option of handing over the main character to the guards, but he couldn't find where to find "witnesses". The guys themselves did everything so that there were no extra eyes. They scared away all the tramps, chose a dead-end alley, and Ilyusha successfully took advantage of all this; fortunately, he got rid of both of them quickly and cleanly. The first one died in the crowd, but there was almost no blood; everything flowed inside, the man simply felt sick and slid down the wall, and the second one didn't even have time to scream. The hero successfully got away from the scene of events before the first one with the awl-knife died.

Camrad_RIP 26.07.25 в 07:34

The fight with the bull went off like clockwork. Even taking into account the interference with the gingerbread (if it had ended there, then Ilya would have been sad, which is especially funny, considering his cold-bloodedness. If the reflex had not worked from Earth, then he simply would not have saved it, saving only himself). Actually, for his gifted type, the copper-skinned bull was not a dangerous enemy; the only difficulty was the need not to expose himself in the process. He did not expose himself. Even Gnessa did not uncover him. But the old man revealed him, and only the second time, not the first. When he looked more closely. :)

Camrad_RIP 26.07.25 в 07:02

This is actually very offensive for the main character - thirty units of Essence invested in disguise, practically guaranteed immunity from being discovered by anyone... and Candy Ryuk. Holy shit, yeah. -_-

Camrad_RIP 26.07.25 в 06:55

But the main character was lucky and figured out the old man in advance. A roll with bonuses, a dirty crit, but there are really more pluses from erudition, almost forty. And the grandfather also made a mistake with the comment about the blood, and then the main character, who had already looked closely, noticed the absurdity with his bandage. The eye under that bandage is not worse than Rinnegan, I tell you.

Camrad_RIP 26.07.25 в 06:54

Oh, here's another detail. I think many have noticed who exactly Svyatik the Redneck is referring to, and if you think you imagined it, then know that you did not imagine it. This didn't really work in the chapter, but if you asked the main character what farm he was from, he would have answered, like, from Tiny Mushrooms. :)

Camrad_RIP 26.07.25 в 06:53

That's all for now, everyone, this and that. I apologize for not responding to some (most) of the comments, but I simply didn't have the time, let alone the energy. I hope I was able to compensate for the lack of responses with the chapter.
