oppidum vitae (town of life)

GAME MASTER



It has been hours into the game, Every one started to notice the log out button was gone. Players that have lost in the game as not came back. The game master smirked as he forced teleport every player to Tower Domain. Has every player looks around confused a black mist appears as the mist starts to form something.






The mist then formed a shape of the Grim reaper. The game master looks at every one in the game as he started to give a speech.


"To every player still alive in TOFO. I am sure you all are aware that the log out button is gone. Don't panic, This is just a copy cat from SAO." He then gives out a chuckle as he lets what he said sink in. "The rulers are simple for you has not played in SAO. you mission. Is to live, clear every floors puzzle an defeat the boss. If you all die here, you shall die in reality. I wish you all luck an i shall await for you at the top floor." Just as he came the game maker left.

As wolfblade heard The Game maker make his speech. He sighs thinking on how this can happen again. He figured its best if tarted to make a guide as fast as he can. HE was thinking. Maybe a small guide to he doesn't have to deal with a lot of people. He then walked up to a couple of steps to the tower door as he turns to the crowed as he starts to shout. "My name is WolfBlade. I am a beta tester from the SAO and plus this game. As being a player from SAO, i know what we need to do. I a looking for player to follow me with out a question! If you thinking about joining me or hesitating, don't bother! I will only lead those who have the bravery to follow me in hell!" He sighs a little thinking he was to harsh, be he had to be hard. He doesn't want people that will get in the way or die on him. He then looked up as he fire in his eyes showing he can lead any one that chooses to follow him.

Blade Slizer, the self-proclaimed greatest swordsman in the combination of wielding a sword and a sheath, was out in the field, training himself. He had just started the game, and left reality as Dain Lance to become Blade Slizer. The boss before him, a Mammoth, was knocked down. "Blade" jumped up, and attempted to stab the downed enemy when suddenly, a his body was pixelated and broken down.

Next thing he knew, Blade was back in the city of Oppidum Vitae. "What now?! I had nearly gotten a level up!" His serious side, the one shown in battle, had dissolved and made way for a more laid back persona. When the Game Master had given his short speech, Dain facepalmed. Unlike last time, he was no longer surprised. A lot of people had theorized that this was going to happen, and Dain watched the whole even unfold in front of a TV screen. "Again with this shit?!" Dain threw his sword down in anger. "What the hell?!"

Just then, a boy shouted out that he was a beta tester for SAO, and said that he would lead the players back to real life. Blade picked up his sword. He's foolish, but brave... Dain thought. You have my respect. "I'll join!" Dain shouted out, coming out of the crowd. He then stuck his sword into the ground before the player WolfBlade, and looked him in the eye. "My blade is yours. There's strength in numbers, after all." Blade Slizer said to him, smiling. His serious side had gotten back, and there was no joking that shit's gonna happen after this day.

I finished checking the map around a small cave like dungeon. I looked around as I found a humongous snake in my path to a treasure chest. "This doesn't excite me one bit.", I thought as I slashed into mincemeat. The fallen carcass had shattered into bits. I walk casually torwards the chest and open it, reaching my hand in. My body began to dematerialize and i noticed this was like SAO. "Oh great. This'll be a drag. No homework at least and a shadow can always be hired..." I said to myself. I remained silent as the Game Master appeared. Several minutes after, I looked around the domain after the Game Master's Speech. I heard Wolfblade asking for someone to go command under him. I approached Wolfblade, automatically recognizing his method of talking. No doubt it was his classmate, Kyle. "I'll keep this knowledge to myself", I thought. I opened up my menu and message him. "A shadow never fails to illuminate his masters path.", I typed. I gradually walked forward Wolfblade. "This'll kill time. I, Thanatos, shadow of TOFO, will be the vanguard!" I messaged. I smirked behind my mask, my red bloodshot eyes twinkling. "This'll definitely amuse me" I thought. I looked around to see Wolfblade and another determined "shadow", Blade set his sword in the ground determined to work with WolfBlade.

Krystal looked around for supplies, to cook something delicious. She spotted and scavenged some mushrooms. "This'll do.", she thought to herself. She gradually put them in her basket. She continued to pick them as she was suddenly teleported to the Domain. "What now? Another game event?", she asked in her thoughts. After the creator had ended his speech, she remained calm like her mother would have wanted to. She quickly assessed the situation at hand along with the many cries of protest heard in the background. "The best thing is to find a guild of some sort.",I inquired. A few minutes later, a player, named Wolfblade had decided to make a guild under his leadership. "He has a certain unique charisma floating about him. Good enough for me!" , I thought to myself. I walked up to Wolfblade and said, "I'll be happy to assist you" with a cheerful smile. I looked at the two who had also signed up. A man with a sword of some sort who looked serious in a cute way. The other player who had a mask with red bloodshot eyes was intriguing yet mysterious. She wondered if she was too underpowered to assist them...

So caught up in fighting was Desmond, that when the game glitched he didn’t even notice. Thankfully he hadn’t killed anyone for real. From the moment he logged in, picked his class, and got his gear he set off. Seeking out other players and putting them in their place. With every challenger came another victory and within the first hours of the game he was already ranked seventh amongst PvPers. But that rank wasn’t to last.

“Back from more, Berserker!” Desmond mocked as his opponent approached for this third time already. Both times the man had tried didn’t tactics and still it ended with him being slaughtered. “I’ll make this quick…”

Suddenly the Berserker charged, sword raised, ready to come down. The other two times he had tried honorably engaging Desmond, this time he would try a far less honorable or predictable tactic.

Desmond just calmly waited for the Berserker, readying himself for what was to come. As the two were about to clash, their swords inches apart, they dematerialized. Teleported to Tower Domain, they stood silently next to each other in the mass of players. Silently they listened, horrified by what the Game Master was telling them. For minutes afterwards, Desmond just stood there, a blank expression on his face. Was this really happening?

Than someone’s voice called him back. It was a male character, a beta tester from SAO. He was seeking followers for a guild, their mission to end this craziness. “I’ll consider joining!” He shouted out over the crowd. “But this “without question” part, I refuse.” Coming closer to the man he stared him down. “I will gladly go to hell on my own accord, not because someone tells me I must, and not without a say.”

Wolf blade looks at the crowed, wondering if his voice was heard, or were people panicking so much that can't hear him. Just when he was gonna repeat his self he heard. "I'll join!" Just when a man stepped in front of wolf blade. Sticking his blades into the ground. "My blade is yours. There's strength in numbers, after all." Wolfblade nods as he had a serious face on. "Your right, in this game being a solo player will get you killed. You can't do everything on your own." He then looks up towards the crowd waiting for me, just when he received a message. He opened it to read, "A shadow never fails to illuminate his masters path." He looked up in the corner of his eye to see another mask man walk up to him just when he received another message from him. "This'll kill time. I, Thanatos, shadow of TOFO, will be the vanguard!" Wolfblade under stood who message him right away as he then nodded towards the man with the mask. Just then a girl walks up to the group saying, "I'll be happy to assist you" Wolfblade looks toward the girl as he nods as he then looks at all three members, wondering is this it. Just when he heard one last man voice, “I’ll consider joining!But this “without question” part, I refuse.” Wolf blade looked toward the man walking up the group as he stated. “I will gladly go to hell on my own accord, not because someone tells me I must, and not without a say.” Wolfblade looks at the man. "Do you take what is happening here as a game. We it be stuck in one, but putting our lifes on the line in a game in't a game no more." He then turns to look at the tower. "Following me into the tower is following me into hell it elf. You don't ave a say to that." He then turns back to the group. "I a the leader of this group and my command must be followed, If any one you goes against me, an your choice costed of something big. Be ready to take action for what you decide. I am not treating this guide as a game."


Wolf blade then opens up his menu screen.

((((O.O.C" this will be how it looks, to let you all get a idea))))





He then sends out a friend request and to join his party. "If you will agree to my terms then accept, If you have something to argue against. look for another guide." HE looks at ever one serous letting them he isn't messing around. He then looks back at the tower clearing his mind thinking of what to say, if they still consider to join him.

He then starts to talk more, "If your new to the game, the game is basic to understand. There's 100 floors. Each floor as a puzzle to solve and a boss after it. The puzzle as many traps that will surely want to kill us. If we work together an fight as one, we can beat the bosses and clear the puzzle's without a problem." HE then turns to the group as he pulls over his huge blade on his back, As he sticks it to the ground. "I will lay down my blade to help all of you! If i must i will even lay my life to make sure you have a chance to live yours. If you shall follow me, place your hand on the hilt of my blade." He looks at his group to see there reactions.

Desmond just smirked, as if he hadn’t already realized this was no longer a game. But still something compelled him to stay there awhile longer and hear out what the man had to say. But what was said he didn’t quite like, so with the words “look for another guild”, he took his leave.

All around people were scared. It showed on their faces as they huddled with friends, seeking some sort of comfort. No one wanted to die and certainly not in a video game, not for real anyways. Here and there other players were forming guilds, some were going to take on the towers and others were going to continue playing the game. So casually he walked around, listening to what people had to say.

“So all we need is a chef and we’ll be set.” Desmond overheard a man saying. He just happened to be a chef and found himself wondering what they needed a chef for. “I’m a chef!” He called out.

The group just looked at him for a few seconds, than nodded. “Good, then we can begin.” The leader of the guild said.

“Begin what?” He asked, confused and a bit unsure of these people.

“Playing the game of course, how else are we going to get the proper gear to face the challenges the tower hold?” The man said. “By the way, I’m John, a Berserker, and these are the rest of our guild-mates. You’ll have plenty of time to get to know them, but as of right now, we are late for adventure!”

Krystal listened intently as Wolf's speech. She smiled, "I'm in. I hope I don't get in your guys' way! I managed to pull off a smile as I touched Wolf's blade. Krystal tapped "Accept" knowing what she got herself into. "Hey guys, I'm a chef, so I'll cook when we're at camp." She tapped the basket of vegetables, materializing it in front of Wolf,Thanatos, and Blade. "Let's cook this before it spoils rotten. I may look weak but my cooking stat is nearly mastered." She looked hesitantly around, waiting for everyone's response.

Thanatos understood Kyle knew who he was. No use keeping his identity a secret to Kyle. "It's been a while, Kyle. I will serve you as vice commander of this guild and a servant who hides in the shadows...." I messaged. I quickly accepted my master's friend request but denied the party request, touching the hilt of blade to show a sign of good faith. I message Wolf, "I'll be back, Master. Let me take care of scouting the best possible area to farm experience. I have incredible speed. As for the party invite, invite me later." I look at the girl, Krystal holding a basket of vegetables. She seemed to want to be accepted by this guild. I hug her turned around revealing my face so only she can see,"It's okay. I won't let anything happen to you." I whisper smiling as I slide my mask back on. I turn back to Wolf and Blade. "I don't need food although thank you for the offer." I say out loud for everyone to hear. I message Wolf, "I'll be back. I'm already a high level for starting. I'll find a few spots to make camp and to use the best of our resources." I form a ninjutsu handsign as I teleport letting black leaves fall to the ground. I appear near a grassy area, unpopulated by players, filled with Siberian Tigers (Level 7). "Perfect..." I say as I smirk...
