Refa

"When the right time comes, I will fight..."

0 · 1,907 views · located in Chapter 5 - Stolen and united

a character in “Antiva Chronus Online”, as played by Ageha

Description

Image
Nickname: Refa
Real name: Reena Perlin
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Appearance: Refa is relatively short in size however her red, wavy hair reach down to her butt. Her skin is rather pale and golden eyes sparkle like two morning stars. She wears short black dress with silver armor, yellow coat with black fur on sides, white stocking and long black boots with silver ornament.
Image
However in real life she is completely different. She is short with bit tanned skin, green eyes and brown straight hair. Usually she is seen in her school uniform which is a blue and white dress and long brown strap boots.

Personality

In game Refa is very brave and fearless warrior. She is confident in her abilities and isn't afraid to take responsibility. Refa always protects her friends and will make any enemy regret that day when he/she crossed her path. She is also one of those rare players that managed to beat few bosses alone. Because of that she has gained quite few enemies in ACO, however she has gained valuable friends as well. During that fight Refa will launch a lot of fast and powerful attacks. She depends on her high speed and power to finish enemy before it even manages to attack her. However when enemies are stronger, Refa will use powerful spells and illusions to trick them.

In real life however Reena is a complete opposite. She is very shy and in school, she speaks only when she has to. Because of this shyness many misunderstand Reena for the type of girl that doesn't like being around people although she actually would really like to gain some friends. Reena is quite hard-working and always studies hard for tests to gain good marks. Usually she is the one who has the top grades, that's why some of her classmates often ask her to show them her homework. Reena also likes video games and even though many of her classmates like them too, Reena never dares to say that she actually plays ACO.

History

Reena started playing ACO because it was her chance to become strong. She wanted to try to be confident and forget the fact that she has no friends. At beginning she didn't play ACO for long, but once Insitus Gear got time upgrade she started spending more and more time in the game. She fought many monsters and met many new people, but even though in game she was strong and confident, she still wouldn't let anyone close enough to be her friend. Reena is afraid that once she starts trusting people, she will be betrayed and bullied again, just like she was bullied in kindergarten.

Reena is the only child in family and her parents are constantly at work that's why she doesn't quite know how to speak to people and how to trust them. Although her family is quite wealthy and she can get whatever she wants, Reena still isn't happy and hates that her parents are always absent.

Once she got trapped in game, Refa got really worried. Although she loved this world, she was afraid to stay in it forever. Seeing other players panic, Refa managed to gather her courage and fight in order to return to real life. She made a promise to herself that one day she will free everyone in ACO, even if it costs her life.

After spending almost a year trapped in ACO, Refa has become more like her real life self. She's confident when it comes to fights and her abilities, however her contact with other players is minimal. Usually Refa is found traveling alone with only companion being her pet Kyuu-chan. She has also become more reserved and speaks only when she needs to. However with each day Refa spends away from other people, she becomes emptier. Slowly old fear of always staying alone is returning to Refa's heart, only thing that keeps it away is presence of her pet.

Extra:
Image
Refa has a pet named Kyuu-chan. He is a little two-tailed fire fox that loyally follows Refa everywhere she goes. Only with Kyuu-chan's help Refa can perform fire magic.
Kyuu-chan's abilities:
-- Bite (bites enemy, may flinch it)
-- Slash (scratches enemy with powerful claws)
-- Flame burst (with master's 13 word chant, shoots a powerful flame at all enemies)

What a great weather!” Refa said and stretched her limbs in the air. Refa hasn't left ACO for 5 days already so she is in really great mood. In real life it now Saturday or maybe early Sunday, so she didn't have to worry about missing school. And her parents wouldn’t return until Monday so she enjoyed the free time to its fullest.
Yesterday Refa fought some pretty strong monsters in Subaqua and managed to get some rare ores she could use to make a sword. Today Refa decided to enjoy beautiful parts of Terra and rest. Luckily no player had invited her to boss fights, so she could relax.
Suddenly something strange happened. All her inventory, money, skills and abilities disappeared and she became level 1 again. At first she thought it was a hacker, but then she got forced to teleport to Nova City. Thousands of players, just as confused as her, surrounded Refa from all sides. Crowd was so thick it was impossible to move. After short while Game Master appeared and announced that everyone is trapped inside this game and that they all can actually die.
Once Game Master was gone, panic arose in the giant crowd. Everyone started to yell, run, swear thus making a giant mess in already stuffed Square. Refa was being tossed from one side to another and for moment she thought that she would get crushed by this crowd. The sudden message shocked Refa, however she was not the kind of stay dazed in panic for long.
I have to get out of this crowd,” Refa said and took out the only weapon she now had – beginner’s sword. Due to shock and fear of dying everyone around her instantly backed away from Refa giving her space to move. With her sword raised high up Refa ran through panicking crowd until finally she managed to break out of it. She could not stay here or else she’ll be one of first to die in this death game.

Canon's eyes opened. For a moment, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. However, this feeling of surprise didn't last long. Rather, it was replaced a few seconds later by confusion, and then a dawning sense of horror.

The moment before, she'd been fighting a group of trolls atop a high mountain peak, when her weapon had suddenly disappeared from her hand. Crying out in surprise, she'd looked up to see the gigantic enemies looming over her, already preparing to strike. The sheer, bleak cliff behind her left no route of escape, and, without her weapons, she was suddenly helpless. Shutting her eyes, she had braced for the impact, hoping to withstand it with some of her HP left.

To her confusion, when she opened them, she found herself suddenly standing somewhere completely different: Nova City. Specifically, the main square. While she supposed this was one of the game's main respawn points, she hadn't gotten the death message or had any respawn delay, which meant she hadn't died, had she? But stranger yet, as she looked down at herself, she found all of her familiar gear suddenly gone, replaced by a basic, form-fitting light armor suit which, although done in her usual burgundy and gold coloring, had never even been in her inventory to begin with. Besides, this was just level 1 gear. It would be useless to her! Opening her character screen and inventory with a small sweep of her hand, she had hoped to just find her old gear displayed there so she could re-equip it, but, she became further baffled when she saw her inventory - empty - and her stat display, which read that she was a level 1. All her hard-earned stats had suddenly been removed! She actually gave a small cry of surprise at this, but it was drowned out by the murmur of the equally confused crowd all around her. Opening a side-window, she decided she'd try to log out and back in in the hopes that whatever glitch had occurred would be negated, somehow. But when she opened the side-bar, all she found was a blank screen where the familiar, ever-present button had always been. Now her growing feeling of uneasiness turned to fear, and, in an instant, that fear became proven to be reality.

For in the next moment, in the skies above, a hooded figure appeared, and delivered the death sentence of ten thousand people, amongst whom stood Canon, her violet eyes wide with shock and disbelief. As the skies suddenly became overcast and snow started to fall - the date on her menu changed suddenly to January 1st, but she didn't notice that at the moment - Canon simply stared upward toward where the message had just been delivered. This... this was a joke, right? So many people, trapped in a death game with little chance of surviving... Something like that could never happen, right? Someone would put a stop to it... right? They'd all be logged out soon, wouldn't they? Or maybe this was just some kind of practical joke? Yeah, that had to be it, didn't it...? But then... why couldn't she log out? And where was everyone else? This crowd was only a small fraction of the player base, so where did everybody else go? Maybe... was this reality after all? No. No. No no no no no no no no no no NO NO NO! This couldn't be happening, it couldn't be happening, this couldn't be REAL!

Canon stumbled weakly backward, and slowly turned her eyes upon her character screen with disbelief. All of this... she wanted it to go away. She was scared. She wanted to log out now. Why couldn't she just log out?! She'd rather have been pathetic than afraid, so why couldn't she just go back to reality...?

She was jarred out of her thoughts by shouting from behind her, but even then, she hardly perceived it. Yet, it continued to draw closer... until suddenly, a fast-moving object struck her from behind. Giving a slight cry, she found herself knocked to the ground as, in the next instant, a heavy weight briefly crushed her down, then vanished again as, stepping on top of her and continuing her frantic flight, a girl with vibrant red hair proceeded to dash through the crowd, brandishing a sword. Canon tried to rise, only to be caught by the stampede that followed as players frantically ran this way and that. The young warrior watched in horror as she actually started to take damage from the impact of countless feet treading over her. One HP gone, two, three, four, five, six... these numbers soon became dozens, and dozens became scores, until her hit points gauge was over half empty.

And then, all of the fear she'd felt until that point exploded. Panic took over. She didn't know if it was a prank or if this illusion had, in fact, become reality, but she knew one thing above all else. She didn't want to die. She wouldn't die, she was scared of dying. With all of her strength, she began to flail about, lashing out at everyone around her. People fell from atop her as slowly, she forced her way up. Then, taking off in a mad dash in a random direction, Canon began plowing her way frantically through the crowd. She would collide with someone, fall, then rise immediately and just keep on running. Never once did she look back. No, all that mattered to her was getting away, escaping from all this and going... somewhere. She didn't care. But she had to run, had to run or she'd die. She couldn't die. She was too afraid to die!

At last, the crowds around her thinned, and, she realized, she escaped the crushing press of bodies. Slowly, as her HP began its tedious and slow recovery cycle, her heart, too, began to calm. But that fear that welled up inside her hadn't changed. Now that she had accepted the possibility of her death, everything around her had suddenly become a threat. In that moment, she realized that, even if she couldn't prove it, she now also couldn't deny the potential danger she was in. If her HP reached zero, there was a chance that she, Suzaku Kanna... would cease to exist. And that chance, even if she had no way of knowing for sure whether or not it was in fact reality... was enough to terrify her. She wanted to run, wanted to escape from all of this. She wanted to hide somewhere, and pray that this would all end quickly. Suddenly, she realized, she wasn't so strong as she had thought. In fact, she'd never been strong at all. That's right... everything she was, everything she thought, it was all a lie. Deep down, she was the same terrified little wretch as before she had ever begun this game. She suddenly missed her family, her classmates - even the ones who bullied her. She missed being kicked down and called names. She missed her blurry vision and all the colds she caught out in the real world. She missed studying and the endless hours of schoolwork that would yield no successful results. She missed being alive, even though it had seemed like a hardship to her before. Canon was terrified, scared, and lonely... but even still, she didn't want to die.

Refa rushed through the streets and alleyways of Nova City to get further away from crowd. After she could see only few more players rushing out just like her, she opened her inventory and found one item which every newbie had - game manual. Quickly she pressed the button and book visualized in her hands. Refa had read manual many times bafore so she already knew what she needed. After flipping few pages she opened the map of Terra. Right now Refa had to get to other city where she could really start the game.

There were four cities connected to Nova - Silva, Dulre, Flos and Herba. Refa wouldn't go to Dulre and Herba because those two areas are well supplied and most likely when players realize that there are not enough resources, they're going to go there. The best choice was Silva, because around was Bear Forest which was quite a dangerous region for newbies, however since Refa already knew the game, it wouldn't be a problem surviving there even at low levels.

Without any more ado Refa put game manual back in inventory and turned south-west to get to Silva. She saw as other players headed north or east just like she had expected. As Refa ran through streets of Nova, she could hear the noise coming from players rampaging in the square. Most likely few lives were already lost at the stampede. It made Refa sad to think that some players will never meet their families and friends. They never had a chance to say goodbye or say sorry for their mistakes. That made Refa really irritated. She will make that crazy Game Master pay for what he has done.

As Refa made her way out of Nova, voices coming from square grew quieter until they completely vanished. She stopped running to see open Delta Plains and Nova City behind her. She was alone, but that's how it had to be. If she was to take anyone along, the other player would only slow her down. If Refa wants to free everyone she has to become stronger and play alone.

As gentle breeze combed Refa's fiery bangs, she slowly started marching towards Silva without looking back. The death game has began and she had to survive in order to save everyone. Although Refa was born only because of Reena's desire to become more open and gain new friends, she could not just sit and watch as people die. Refa herself had died during boss fights several times so now she had to be more careful and well prepared, because nobody knew what each of bosses might bring.

At the inn, Marius plotted out his priorities so he could plan out his next moves. His biggest issues to deal with right now was his stats, and getting back his Gemini blade. The stats weren't so bad; he could earn the back over time with hard work. However, the Gemini blade was one of the games unique weapons. Only one of each existed in the game world at any given moment. If he didn't move fast enough, someone else could grab it first. Finding it was important, but he also needed to get its skill prerequisites first. Without them, the blade was as good as useless. To begin, Marius decided to head to the Bear Forest. He knew of a good quest in the nearby town of Silva to get a good starter sword called the Wind Flourisher. It would last a few levels of usefulness, and give him an agility boost as well, an added bonus to his fighting style. Noticing that the crowd outside was finally begining to desperse, to gain strength for themselves, Marius figured he should grab a delivery quest to Silva from the inn, and leave.

Out on the road, Marius jogged most of the way. He wanted to do everything he could to boost his agility. His entire style focused around high agility, so he needed it back up to full strength. Marius figured he would spend his time from now on alone. Before, he enjoyed partying up with others, but he wanted to be alone with his thoughts for now, to get things straight in his mind. While heading down the road, he noticed another player heading the same way, a girl with bright red hair. There also was a level 3 boar right behind her, trying to catch up and attack. Not one to abandon another player, Marius charged the boar. "Behind you!" he called out, and he launched a sword skill at the boar, dropping its HP to half. Using the recoil of the boar to is advantage, Marius turned on a dime after the hit, and finished it off with a few more. He turned to the girl and said "As cheesy as it might sound, it's dangerous to go alone. Normally, I would too, but without a safety margin at this point, it isn't the safest thing to do. Do you want to party up? At least until we get to Silva?" Realizing he had yet to introduce himself, he added "I'm Marius, by the way."

On the way to Silva Refa didn't rest. She fought any monster she found starting from level 1 weasels and ending with level 4 jackals. The effect was better then she expected. If previously she would lazily sort out the monsters and attack only ones she liked (though all of them were pretty much the same), then now she lashed at everyone without mercy. In the end she managed to reach level 5 in very short period of time. And thanks to these battles she managed to get new sword and better armor which were dropped by monsters.

Refa decided that for now, it was enough fighting and that she needed to fasten her pace to get to Silva before nightfall. As she continued her slow jog to the city she noticed with corner of eye as one of wild boars followed her intending to attack. A boar was not threat to her or anyone else so she just continued to jog. When boar will get closer she will kill it.

"Behind you!" Refa heard someone call from behind her back. She turned around and saw as some player attack the boar and kill it in few blows. "As cheesy as it might sound, it's dangerous to go alone. Normally, I would too, but without a safety margin at this point, it isn't the safest thing to do. Do you want to party up? At least until we get to Silva?" He asked and without waiting for her answer added: "I'm Marius, by the way."

"Refa. This area is only dangerous for those who haven't played this game before. That boar you just killed couldn't even lay real harm on level 1 player. If you want you can tag along, but I won't wait for you if you fall behind and I won't help you if you get in trouble," She coldly replied and resumed her slow jog to Silva. Refa was being cold and bit rude on purpose. With other players around it would be harder for her to advance so she needs to get rid of him. Only reason she didn't refuse him right away is because there's nothing but road and plains on way to Silva.

( I thought it was going to get quite boring if my character didn't interact till later so here I am! I can just explain during the 4 months time skip what happens to her later on.)

Leveling up was surprisingly easy when you knew exactly where to hunt. Kahlan had already leveled up significantly. Working on quests and fighting monsters all day really did pay off when you knew what you were doing. Soon, other players would gather their senses and begin leveling up and gathering money as she was doing. Though she was still extremely mad and frustrated that she was reduced to level one, the thrill of gaining experience points once again was still just as enjoyable. She had lost some very rare items that day and the skills she took so much time investing in were now all gone. Its was back to square one.

Kahlan suddenly felt a strange but very familiar sensation. A low grumble sounded from her stomach and she instantly knew what it was. That was strange. She had never felt hunger in this game before. Even though you could eat before, the food in ACO only tricked you into thinking you weren't hungry anymore thus making eating in the real world necessary. But now since they couldn't leave, Kahlan would have to pay more attention to these things. She had never bothered with eating here before. With her mind always on dungeons and leveling up, eating was the last thing on her mind.

"I guess I should take a break."

Plopping herself down on the grassy plains, Kahlan opened up her inventory. During her earlier break, she had taken that opportunity to venture back into Nova City after things calmed down to buy some supplies. A roast chicken leg, some bread, cream, and water, Kahlan sat in silence and tore a thin slice of meat off of the chicken. The scenery was beautiful here. Though she had seen these plains countless of times before, she could not help but admire the rolling hills of grass that seemed to go on for forever. If she looked hard enough, she could just make out a tiny dot that was the city of Silva, the next town over which was her final destination for the day. She had seen a few players here and there heading in the direction of the town but the main crowd was still occupying Nova City at the time and probably would be for the next few days. It was a safe place, and she couldn't blame them.

Something red caught her eye. Another player? Kahlan turned her head and sure enough a girl with fiery hair came walking down the path, Kahlan was sitting next to. She noticed something about her. She knew what she was doing. Surely she had been at a high level before this game turned flipside on them. The way she carried herself seemed to say "I know exactly what the hell I'm doing so don't slow me down!" Kahlan smiled instantly gaining the girl's respect. But then something strange happened. The girl was still a far ways away to spot Kahlan and apparently she was quite aware of the boar that was attempting a sneak attack. Breaking into a jog, the girl sped up. Kahlan knew exactly what she was doing. Planning on drawing the boar in closer to finish it off without wasting time to stop and kill it. Smart. Kahlan's eyes caught sight of another sight. Another player, probably thinking that the red head was in danger had sprinted forward, and killed the boar with a flurry of hits.

Kahlan finished off the rest of the bread and chicken and rose to her feet with a huff, dusting herself off. It was getting quite boring by herself so maybe some interaction would be nice. They were all headed in the same direction anyways. The red haired girl suddenly took off jogging, apparently leaving the boy to decide to follow her or not. Kahlan waited till the red head passed her and took off with her running beside her. Hopefully she wouldn't mind.

"Well, well. It seems we have at least a few players who know what they're doing."

Before Refa even had the chance to restart her way to Silva, she heard a female voice come from aside:"Well, well. It seems we have at least a few players who know what they're doing."

Refa turned her face in direction of newcomer and saw a girl with short blond hair and stunningly green eyes. She seemed to confident and strong and somehow it made Refa gain instant respect for this girl.

"Well, it's not like we got stuck in this game because we didn't play it," Refa said with ironic smile on her face. She was bit surprised that she could even joke in situation like this. Then again, if Refa is going to be serious all the time she'll be stuck in this game, she'll turn into sour-faced woman children get scared of.

"I believe you came out to join the crue. Since we're headed in same direction we can stick together for now. It's not far from Silva now and we'll split up there anyway," Refa said to the girl. It was interesting how she didn't want Marius to tag along, because he thought that Refa wasn't strong enough to protect herself from a wild boar, but when this girl came along, Refa was ready to accept her, even if just for a while. She figured that it was because this girl was experienced player so they kind of understood each other's actions without explaining. Then again Marius wasn't exactly newbie either.

"I'm Refa, by the way, and that is Marius, whom I met like few minutes ago," Refa continued and chuckled a little. Although she was bit mad at Marius, it was bit comic to know that he wanted to save her as if she's a damsel in distress. This was now a death game, all girls are strong enough to defend themselves. Or at least Refa hoped that they could. She already knew that few players had lost their lives in the square and without a doubt more will die every day. Only those who are strong will remain, unless somebody beats this game quickly enough.

Marius was a little bit shocked by what he heard from Refa. He wasn't sure what could be a proper safety margin anymore, so he just wasn't taking chances. He wasn't trying to 'save the damsel in distress' if that's what she was worried about. If they were stuck in here for being in the game too long, they all likely had a good amount of skill with the system already. Since he spent most of his time before they were reset in parties taking out large groups of enemies, he didn't really have a good safety margin calculated out yet. "I wasn't expecting you to." he said. "I just don't want to take a chance when a freak critical hit could be our undoing." Something about Refa's tone was familiar though, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He decided that he would think about it later. He needed to fully focus on getting to Silva in one piece.

He started a bit behind Refa, watching the rear for enemies. He wasn't used to this either, as before the reset he was often the lead scout, pulling whatever he was facing towards the tanks in the group to be pulled off of him. This was until they ran into another player. Refa greeted her with more civility than she greeted him, which slightly frustrated Marius. Why was he given the cold shoulder just for playing it a bit safe. He decided to stick with the group for now, though he was still a bit put off by this. When Refa introduced him, Marius gave a quick wave and greeted the newcomer with a neutral "Good to meet you." Marius looked off back down the road, towards Silva. "Well, I'd love to sit around a chat, but we're burning daylight. There is work to be done, and if we are all headed away from the more easily accesable resources to the North, we probably all have something specific to find down there. We'd better get moving. We can talk as we go." With that, Marius took off into a run a bit short of top speed to give them a chance to keep up. He was level 5 after that last kill, and he had put all but a few of his stat points he earned from level ups into agility, which made him faster than most players at the moment.

Kahlan smiled and gave a polite nod as Refa introduced herself and her companion. Refa seemed like a pleasant person and even though their time together would be short, it would be enjoyable. Marius, her companion gave Kahlan a quick wave. He seemed frustrated and Kahlan could feel tension in the air. Did something happen between the two before she came? Well she did witness Marius "saving" Refa from the boar. Maybe it had something to do with that.

"I'm Kahlan. I'm very grateful you guys are letting me join you and I'll do my best not to slow you down."

Marius spoke up. "Well, I'd love to sit around a chat, but we're burning daylight. There is work to be done, and if we are all headed away from the more easily accesable resources to the North, we probably all have something specific to find down there. We'd better get moving. We can talk as we go."

And with that, the boy suddenly took off running in the direction of Silva. Well then.

"Your friend is quite in a hurry. But he's right. We should reach Silva before nightfall to rest up and stock up on supplies. I still haven't gotten used to the fact that we have to sleep and eat now." Kahlan shrugged. "Shall we go?"

"Yes, let's go. We don't have even a minute to lose. And when you mention eating and sleeping then I haven't even done it yet," Refa said and remembered how her stomach had growled while she was fighting wild boars.

"I'm going to get some food once I get to Silva," Refa said and started to run to catch up with Marius. He was running bit too fast for Refa's liking however she didn't complain. Increasing agility is one of her stategies as well, because she likes to strike fast so the opponent doesn't even get the time to respond.

On their way to Silva, road was rather safe. Few wild jackals and wolves tried to attack them however they were no match for 3 players. It only served to increase their power and levels slightly. Refa also noticed that monsters got more and more powerful as they got closer to Silva. If at beginning it was just level 1 weasels then now even level 6 wolves appeared. Most likely that's because Silva has quite a lot of rewarding quests that offer great armory, weapons and even some skills as prizes. However Refa knew that real bounty hunting will start in Bear Forest. Monsters there dropped quite valuable items which can be sold or used to make armory.

After 30 minutes of fast jogging the trio finally came close to Silva. It looked very gloomy and dark from the outside, but Refa knew that it was just a camouflage to keep players away. Actually inside city it was very beautiful, and even though areas around city were very dangerous the city itself was completely safe. Most likely it was safest place in whole Terra, because not many players came here. But there was some weird shadow lingering in front of the city. At first Refa thought it to be a wolf however as she got closer she realized it was something much bigger then that. 3-eyed tiger.

Refa has met this monster before when she started ACO for first time, but she had already forgotten all about it. She died 3 times before she managed to beat this moonster, because although it was just level 6, it actually put some strategy into attacks unlike boars who just randomly attacked player when they saw one. But on the other hand, then Refa was alone, but now she has two more players with her. The tiger shouldn't be a problem.

"Be careful around that tiger. It's stronger then wolves and boars. We'll have to work together to beat it," Refa explained and drew out her sword.

The short journey was more of a breeze than she had realized. The three of them sped though numerous mid level monsters without even a scratch and experience points came flowing like nothing else. It seemed partying up boosted the exp gain by a slight margin which helped magnificently. Kahlan obtained many rare weapons and armor as a result and the three of them were exceptionally stronger by the time they were able to spot Silva which was only about 30 minutes or so. It was nearly nightfall and the setting sun cast a large shadow over the three as it began to set behind the tall towers of the city. It was quite a breathtaking sight and Kahlan found that she was actually getting quite hungry once again. It seemed that fatigue was even added to the game as well as sickness and death. What a hassle.

As the three approached the city, they soon found that their journey was not quite over yet. One more opponent blocked their path. A three eyed tiger, one of the stronger monsters of this route and it definitely needed to be approached with more caution than the rest of the monsters they had been fighting for they were still at pretty low levels regardless of the strength they had gained.

"Be careful around that tiger. It's stronger then wolves and boars. We'll have to work together to beat it," Refa explained and drew out her sword.

Kahlan nodded and drew her newly acquired reinforced long sword from its sheath from her back. With the three of them, this wouldn't be a problem if they worked together. She began devising a strategy. Since she had leveled up a bit, Kahlan invested the majority of her skill points into her stamina, upping her strength, defense and attack by a significant amount. She preferred overwhelming the enemy with pure power and force and that's exactly what she was going to do.

Kahlan took a step forward and leaned into stance. "Okay, Marius, Refa, here's what we are going to do. I'll keep the tiger occupied from the front. My attack and defense should keep him at bay for awhile. While I attack from the front, I want you two to keep attacking from the sides. I need you to be quick. Don't let it get a chance to attack once. If we are able to do that, then we can avoid anything from happening. Overwhelm it and eliminate. All drops will be at random so we don't have to worry about unfair distributing. Understood?

After Kahlan explained her strategy to them, Refa nooded, ready to take action. Fast and powerful attacks was her style. Previously she didn't manage to defeat the tiger simply because she couldn't beat it fast enough. After 5 slashes with her sword Refa managed to reduce tiger's health bar only by 1/5th while tiger with one hit did 1/3rd. Thus Refa died after reducing tiger's health bit over half. Only reason Refa managed to beat tiger in third try was because she raised her level to 10 which gave her obvious power advantage. Though she had it better then other player, as she has seen some players try up to 10 times and still with no luck of defeating powerful beast. It made Refa wonder how those players managed to beat even more powerful monsters, because three eyed tiger was just the beginning. Not only did the monster grow more powerful but they also developed a strategy which too became more and more complicated.

Last of the bosses Refa fought in Subaqua before the reset didn't even have any fighting pattern. It more felt like playing against very skilled player who adjusted himself according to situation. Refa never even managed to beat that boss and she hadn't even reached the half of the game at that point.

Refa was relieved that this time fighting the tiger wouldn't be a problem. Kahlan would take all the hits from tiger and counting that her defense is higher then Refa's defense back then, tiger should do less damage. Also since Refa and Marius would attack tiger together, they should finish it much faster.

"Let's do this!" Refa exclaimed and rushed straight-forward to attack the tiger. Lashing powerful blows at it, she attacked for as long as she could. Once red-head saw that tiger was going to attack, Refa backed away, letting Kahlan switch in. After that Refa rushed at tiger again and kept attacking him until it finally shattered into tiny pieces.

As Marius and the group ran down the road, they each leveled up several times. Marius had managed to boost his agility even more, and he now also had a nice sword that boosted strength a little, giving him a bit more of a bite to his sword. As they went, Marius found that he had become increasingly hungry and tired, something not in the game before. Marius decided he would address this after he arrived, and head out for the Wind Flourisher tomorrow. As they neared the city, Marius stopped, noticing the shape of a large monster. Focusing his vision, he noticed it was a Three Eyed Tiger. After Refa pointed it out, Marius couldn't help but groan "Not this thing again." Three eyed tigers had been the bane of his existance one he had first started ACO. They constantly killed him off, again and again and again. Once his agility had been raised greatly, they no longer posed a threat since they couldn't hit him, but he still remembered the time when one of these could easily kill him.

After Kahlan described her strategy, Marius couldn't help but agree. He had seen that she place most points into stamina, making her a good tank to start. With his agility, he could launch hit and run attacks with ease, and Refa would make a good frontal dps as well. "Sounds good." he commented. "I'll get into position to hit it from the side. I'll go after it once you have its attention." Marius made his way around to the tiger's side, preparing to strike. As Refa and Kahlan began there attack, Marius charged the tiger from the side, launching his strongest attack on it while its back was turned. The tiger turned to face him after his hit landed, but he was already running off past it to reposition himself. He did this for a few more times, until Refa got the final hit. "Nice kill" Marius said to the group. As the loot went out to the group, Marius found himself in possesion of a new piece of armor called Speedster's Cloak. It gave a nice bonus to agility and a small bonus to dexterity, so it was quite valuable to him. Marius equipped the new cloak, and ran off with the group to Silva.

Eventually, they arrived in the city. Since it was so close to the Bear Forest, it was nicely shaded amongst the tall trees. Marius honestly thought that this city rivaled some of the cities in Caelum in terms of beauty. "Well, this is where we part." Marius said to the group. A thought suddenly occured to him. He checked his friends list and noticed that the names on it were all faded out. This meant that all of his friends had either died, or were logged out. He hopped it was the latter. Regardless, his friends list was, by all means, now empty. He quickly added both Refa and Kahlan to it. "Just in case we need each other again." he told them. With that, Marius left the party and headed to the inn. He decided he would buy dinner, go to bed for the night, and find the sword he was after tomorrow.

As the trio fought tiger, Refa managed to land the final blow. All of them got some valuable items and Refa got a special one due to finishing blow bonus. It was a Fire Hair Pin that increased attack and agility by a little bit. At first it didn't seem like anything special but then Refa realized it was one of the "Evolving items". That means that you can power it up as you get better materials and higher blacksmith skill. "Evolving items" very rather rare because players could only get them from monsters, even quests didn't offer them.

After defeating tiger, they finally made their way to Silva. It was really beautiful city and since it was already dusk, lights that decorated the city started to take magical effect. Refa couldn't stop to amaze how lights illuminated the city and made it look as if normal stone walls were made of jewels.

"Well, this is where we part." Marius said breaking Refa from amazement. She had almost forgotten that they would have to part in Silva. Then Marius looked at something in his character panel and soon a little message appeared saying "Marius wants to add you to their friend list: Approve or Decline". "Just in case we need each other again," he told to both girls and Refa let out a small smile and pressed button Approve.

"I wish both of you good luck. Make sure you survive so we can meet again some day," Refa said and each one of them headed their own direction. First Refa went to buy food, medicine and all the other necessary stuff for surviving. After that she decided to visit armory shop to buy better weapons and armor. Although loots from monsters weren't bad, but they already fell behind her level (except the hair pin) so they wouldn't help her much.

After Refa was done with shopping, she went to the closest inn and booked one room in it. Innkeeper (NPC) said that Refa was first one to visit this inn so she received a discount and free breakfast next morning. Refa thanked Innkeeper and went straight to her room to rest. Only now she realized how tired and hungry she was. Her mind even created illusion of sore muscles although in ACO nobody was so unfit to have sore muscles, nor did the game actually produce such feeling. Quickly Refa took some bread and water out of her inventory and ate them in one swipe. They didn't taste too good, but they surely made her feel better. After that she unequipped her armor and snuggled into her blanket soon to be found sound asleep.

The battle went better than Kahlan expected. As she had planned, the tiger never even had a chance to raise a claw against them. As Refa landed the final blow, Kahlan's heart was racing. This is what she played the game for. This is what she lived for. Sword in hand, she could do anything, be anything, go anywhere. And with the new addition to the game, Kahlan felt as if the game had gotten more exciting. What she didn't know was that this was all still a "game" in her mind. The reality of it had not even begun to make itself known in her mind yet. And this is what would lead to her downfall and soon after, her rise to be one of the most respected players in the game. But that story would have to wait.

The three players, finally entering Silva's massive gates, found themselves transfixed by the dazzling sight of the city lights. It truly was a sight to behold and since they were of the few players who had made it to the next town, the streets were almost empty as other players wandered here and there, trying to find a place for the night. They should be doing the same.

Marius was the first to break the silence. "Well, this is where we part." A friend request notification blinked in front of Kahlan. "Marius wants to add you to their friend list: Approve or Decline".

Kahlan nodded and accepted. These were the first of her friends since she had entered the death game. Already feeling like they would meet again Kahlan could only offer words of encouragement as her newly made friends went their separate ways leaving Kahlan standing there in the quiet center square. She was alone again. A small sigh escaped from her lips. She really enjoyed playing with others. There were benefits of going solo but the thrill of fighting beside your comrades was nothing in comparison. But..... They would meet again. Kahlan was sure of it.

Making her way to an inn just a few streets down, Kahlan decided she would stock up on supplies in the morning. She was exhausted and wanted to find a bed fast. Paying for the room, Kahlan strode up the stairs where a warm bed awaited her. Unequipping her armor, the blonde warrior tugged at the blue ribbon tied in her hair and her golden locks fell over her shoulders. As she slipped under the covers, another strange feeling arose inside her. Not knowing what it was, she dismissed it, closed her eyes and drifted to sleep. But deep down, she knew exactly what it was. It was the dull ache of homesickness.

4 months have passed since the death game started, 12 days in real life. Refa was now hunting Giant Ice Bears in Northen Pine Forest not too far from Pruina city. Once she'll finish the quests she should level up to level 23 thus being strong enough to take on first boss. The only problem was that nobody knew where first boss was. At first Refa though they would be in same place as before so Refa went to check the previous location first. However the dungeon wasn't there meaning they were relocated.

After first day when Refa met Marius and Kahlan, she hasn't partied up with any other player. However for about two weeks now, she has joined some group that was searching for the first boss, however they never managed to find it. Leader of this group was very experienced player, even more experienced then Refa and Kahlan combined. Why? He was a beta tester, so he had gotten quite far in the game before reset. Under his command players went to search different locations in Terra which they had access to. Refa feared that the boss might be hidden somewhere in Tornado Desert or Frozen Plains where no player could survive for longer then a day due to extreme climate, lack of food and powerful monsters.

Suddenly Kyuu-chan appeared and let out a squeal, warning that a group of 10 Giant Ice Bears had surrounded her. From aside it would look as if she would become lunch for these monsters, but it wasn't like that at all. Refa had expected the bears to surround her to make an easy and fast kill.

"Let's do this, Kyuu-chan! Fire burn down the enemies to melting ashes!" Refa chanted the intermediate spell and a rain of fire burned up all the bears in an instant. With this her level rose up and now she could calmly return to Pruina to claim her reward for the completed quests - Locator. It is a very rare item that players could get only from quests. With Locator one could find any monster or player in the game, however it would break after one use.

After returning to Pruina, Refa, followed by her loyal pet Kyuu-chan, went straight to Quest Giver (NPC) to receive <<The Locator>>. That was the only prize for this quests although she had to fight like 50 <<Giant Ice Bears>>. However the prize was worth it because with it Refa would be able to find anything in this game. It's a shame this item has one time use. Excited Refa took out <<The Locator>> out of her inventory. It looked odd, bit like a mobile phone with tiny screen and giant keyboard below with all possible letters. Only then she understood the "catch" of this item. One needed to know the name of what they were searching for however Refa had no idea what was 1st bosses name.

"Argg!!! All that fighting for nothing!" Refa angrily growled and was about to smash <<The Locator>> against the ground, but Kyuu-chan stopped her in time. Suddenly a new message screen appeared in front of Refa. Of course it was from no one else then Game Master who constantly sent news about game upgrades, survivors and special events. Half-heartily she opened the mail and with no interest she read it until one phrase caught her sight. "Information about 1st Major Boss". The message didn't say where it was hidden however it showed that it looked like a giant werewolf with sword, had specific fighting pattern and that its name was <<The Moolit Deathwolf>>.

A smirk appeared on Refa's face. Quickly she wrote in "The Moonlit Deathwolf" in <<The Locator>>. For a while nothing happened but then map of Terra appeared in front of Refa and she saw a red dot flashed in The Frozen Plains. As Refa remembered spot on map, <<The Locator>> turned into tiny pixels and disappeared.

"Kyuu-chan, get ready, we're going on a cold trip!" Refa exclaimed and without any ado rushed out of Pruina. Although it was quite a distance from Pruina to the location of first boss, red-head knew how to get there fast. Outside Pruina City, in Northen Pine Forest was a hidden reindeer farm. Player could go and rent one of these reindeer, but it wasn't cheap. Refa however didn't care how expensive it was. She wanted to kill that werewolf with her own sword.

Way to the farm seemed annoyingly long, but once she got there she instantly paid to get the fastest reindeer and hopped on its back. It let out a low growl and then rushed towards the direction Refa commanded. In meantime, Kyuu-chan had safely stuck under Refa's clothes, squealing every time reindeer made a crazy turn. It was amazing how well made pets in ACO were. They were just like real cats and dogs, asking for food, playing around and caring for their owner. The second amazing thing about pets was that they grew more powerful alongside their owners. If at first Kyuu-chan had only one tail and gave Refa ability to do weak fire magic, then now it he has two-tails and Refa can perform more powerful fire magic. During higher levels Kyuu-chan will be able to join battle.

As Refa rode out of Pine Forest and into Northen Plains, Kyuu-chan signalized that there was something going on not to far from where they were. Curious Refa turned the reindeer in direction where it should be. As she got closer she could see some giant white figure with flashing green eyes and something smaller not too far from it. By looks of it, it was some Field Boss and a player who got into trouble while fighting it. As Refa got even closer she could see that name of monster was <<Frozen Emperor>> and it was level 30. That guy must be crazy to take on such powerful Field Boss. Normally Refa wouldn't involve herself in fight like this, however she had element advantage. Fire attacks did double the damage against ice monsters, so this shouldn't be a problem.

"Fire burn down the enemies to melting ashes!" Refa chanted as she got closer to the monster. A rain of fire fell upon the giant making him roar. But because of her fire, snow around monster evaporated creating a thick mist so Refa couldn't tell was the monster dead or not.

"Fire burn down the enemies to melting ashes!" Shineda heard a girl's voice yell. A rain of fire fell upon the giant making him roar. The snow around monster evaporated creating a thick mist which enveloped both participants of the fight. Instantly, this was his chance. Without having <<Frozen Emperor>> breathing down his neck constantly, Shineda was able to wait for a few seconds for the <<Frostbite>> status to disappear. Once that happened, Shineda charged straight for his adversary.

The player's small longsword clashed against the giant's huge greatsword, the force of their collision clearing the mist away. With a vicious roar, <<Frozen Emperor>> lashed out again, only this time to be fully parried by Shineda. Taking advantage of the delayed recovery from a parry, Shineda delivered a blinding mix of <<Triple Slash>>, <<Rising Slash>> and <<Crescent>> combo in one go. The flashes produced by the <<Sword Skills>> seemed to dance around in unison with the player's movement. The <<Frozen Emperor>> emitted a roar and stepped backwards, deep scratches etched upon it's frozen form. That was a pretty strong defense there, however, it seemed that the fire spell that attacked it earlier had softened the frozen form quite alot.

"I pierce through all armor with mighty strength! Piercing UP!" Shineda used his most frequent spell against defensive units. As runes began to circle around his sword, Shineda charged, leaping into the air to deliver a powerful strike straight towards the giant's head. The sword charged up with light again, the runes glowed gold and was brought straight towards the <<Frozen Emperor's>> face like a shining lance.

The <<Frozen Emperor>> never had a chance to react.

The powerful stab crushed through it's target's armor and dealt direct damage to the being underneath. An unearthly roar, far louder than before and slightly different. Without mercy, Shineda kept his assault, chipping off every layer of ice on the <<Frozen Emperor>>. The <<Boss's>> HP bar was slowly decreasing until it was dangerously low and eventually, it was empty. A showcase of Shineda's strength was displayed, betraying the truth of his current <<Level>>. Shineda received the normal Congratulations, <<Spoils>> of shockingly rare items and <<EXP>> which he apparently shared with the girl that helped him just now. Oh well.

He took another glance at the <<Frozen Emperor's>> foggy figure before glancing at his savior. Through the distance, using his <<Detect>>, he saw a red-haired girl on a reindeer. Through his senses, apparently some kind of pet was under her clothes. She must've been rich in order to afford a reindeer... or just desperate. He tugged at his <<Traveler's Rags>> and re-wrapped it around his neck, shielding him from the chill. He raised a hand in the air and called out to her.

"Hey! Thanks!" he did a square motion with his hands. ""You should have received the <<Spoils>> and <<EXP>> screen. Enjoy!"

'Hmmm~' he thought with a small smile. 'This is the first time someone's helping me instead of the other way around.'

He heard the unearthly roar yet again and turned around slowly. But wasn't the <<Frozen Emperor>> taken down?

What he saw was a totally different thing. It wasn't the <<Frozen Emperor>> that was standing. It was a giant werewolf about the same size, wearing armor...wielding the exact same sword the <<Frozen Emperor>> had. A few pieces of ice were still stuck onto the werewolf's fur, it shook them off then roared again, it's eyes flashing red, a sign of awakening. Bewildered, Shineda took a look at the monster's name.

<<Major Boss: The Moonlit Deathwolf>>

Shineda's eyes widened as the <<Boss>> swung it's sword around with ease, moving faster than the <<Frozen Emperor>> ever could. Each swing seemed to add a new appearance to the sword until eventually, the greatsword seemed larger and there were skull engravings on the hilt and pommel. The armor it wore also bore the same insignia.

Shineda's feelings had been right... The 1st <<Boss>> had been nearby all the time. But he had never dreamed it would've been the same monster he fought a while ago. <<The Moonlit Deathwolf>> exuded complete difference from the <<Frozen Emperor>>, as if it had awakened all of it's true powers...

'Perhaps that's what happened...<<Frozen Emperor>> might've just been it's slumbering state...' he thought, before readying himself.

<<Boss Battle Begin>>

<<The Moonlit Deathwolf>> shifted it's focus towards Shineda and swung it's sword at frightening speed. With similar speed, Shineda brought his sword up for a block and found himself flying far. Collapsing, he blinked quickly and got up, his HP slowly reducing. He saw his sword emitting frost.

'Oh shit, it's not just <<Frost Bite>> anymore...it's <<FROZEN>>.' he thought with dread.

<<Frozen>> was one of the worst conditions to end up with, it caused the inflicted unit to be immobile, encased in complete ice. The unit would be unable to be healed unless it was <<Defrosted>>. This made it worst than <<Stun>>, <<Paralyze>> or <<Sleep>>, as in all these inflicted statuses, the inflicted can be healed through items or spells, but <<Frozen>> did not allow all those privileges. It was literally a death sentence...

He rolled out of the way as the <<Boss>> leaped into the air with surprising speed and tried to stab him, seeing as how it was so slow and lumbering in it's <<Frozen Emperor>> form. After the evade he stood up just in time to block another blow from the giant, knocking him off his feet again.

"Damn... he packs quite the sword." he muttered before recovering from his fall. <<The Moonlit Deathwolf>> saw this and roared angrily before charging at him.

Unfortunately her fire rain didn't kill the giant however it weakened it enough for other player to finish it off. Refa was bit shocked by the big amount of EXP she received despite the fact that she shared it with other player, but then again it was level 30 field boss.

"Hey, thanks," said the guy and Refa could see a tiny smile on his face. Before she could say anything another ear shattering growl filled the empty plains. Refa looked around and horror appeared on her face. A wolf who stood at least 3 meters tall, his silver fur that was covered in snow at some places and eyes just as red as blood appeared right behind other player. Without a doubt it was <<The Moolit Deathwolf>>.

"What is it doing outside of the dungeon! It shouldn't be able to come outside!!!" Refa exclaimed in shock and saw as werewolf swung its sword at other player, thus sending him flying. Refa also noticed that werewolf's sword was emitting chilly aura. Without a doubt that sword had frost ability. That was really bad. Not only did this thing overpower both players by multiple levels, but it could also freeze them. With monster who has such high agility getting frozen is same as getting killed.

There was however one thing that could beat this beasts, but first she needed to get other player and herself out of its range. "Smoke appear!" Refa chanted spell and everything around them got covered in thick layer of smoke making anyone inside it blind. Anyone except those who can smell they're way out and Kyuu-chan had perfect smell. Refa grabbed the reindeer and pulled it with her until she with Kyuu-chan's help finally stumbled upon other player.

Without saying anything, she tossed him onto the reindeer, mounted it and at full speed charged out of smoke cloud. <<The Moonlit Deathwolf>> was angrily growling, unable to see anything. However the smoke won't remain for long, they need to create strategy and fast.

"Listen, we won't be able to beat this thing with power alone. It is higher level then us, it has very powerful weapon with frost ability and it's super fast! On top of that for some reason it is outside the dungeon which makes him even more dangerous. I've got an idea to beat him, but I'm not sure if it'll work. Before smoke clears I'm going to create a illusion ...." but Refa didn't get to finish as werewolf had already gotten out of smoke and charged right at them. Most likely it had really good hearing and he must have heard either Refa talking or reindeer's hooves.

There was no time to think so Refa acted on pure impulse. She jumped off the reindeer and faced the giant monster. As it was about to slash its sword at her, Refa chanted: "Shield protect my life!" thus creating unbreakable magical shield.

"Attack it, NOW!" Refa yelled hoping that other player would respond before magic stops working. If not then wolf will kill her in one slash.

A smokescreen appeared suddenly, blinding both Shineda and <<The Moonlit Deathwolf>>. Shineda heard the creature swinging it's sword around in confusion, a few narrowly missing Shineda. Out of nowhere, the red haired girl galloped over in her reindeer and tossed him wordlessly onto the reindeer before charging out quickly. From behind, Shineda saw the sword narrowly miss the reindeer's rear. <<The Moonlit Deathwolf>> growled angrily in it's blind position.

"Listen, we won't be able to beat this thing with power alone. It is higher level then us, it has very powerful weapon with frost ability and it's super fast! On top of that for some reason it is outside the dungeon which makes him even more dangerous. I've got an idea to beat him, but I'm not sure if it'll work. Before smoke clears I'm going to create a illusion ...." the girl didn't even manage to do anything before the giant came charging straight at them.

"Uh... the smoke didn't even clear yet." Shineda noted, pointing at the beast.

The girl jumped down from the reindeer just as the <<Boss>> swung it's sword at her. "Shield protect my life!" the girl yelled, forming an unbreakable barrier between them, stopping the sword. Shineda could see the frost forming around the barrier.

"Attack it, NOW!" she yelled and Shineda reacted instantly. He positioned himself for a stab and he leaped from the reindeer into the air, striking for <<The Moonlit Deathwolf's>> wrist. He connected, causing the beast to howl painfully and back off. Shineda landed in front of the girl, keeping his eyes firmly on the growling monster.

"...Two of us can't take it down." he muttered quietly, then opened his inventory, searching around it. A teleportation crystal formed in his free hand. Turning around, he placed the crystal into the girl's hand.

"Thanks for helping me...but for now you need to go." he said to her. "Go and form a party, bring them here and fight the <<Boss>>."

He pointed far off into the distance. "This entire field is its Dungeon. You won't be able to get out in time even with a reindeer. Use the crystal."

<<The Moonlit Deathwolf>> roared and charged at them.

"Go!" he yelled at the girl, just in case she didn't want to move. Then his eyes softened and he murmured very silently, "...the less that die in this game... the better."

Shineda moved his sword behind his back and blocked the <<Boss's>> attack, then smiled at the red haired girl.

"Go. Come back quickly, yea?" he said cheerfully, "I'll be waiting for your party to arrive."

With that, he turned around and pushed the sword back before diving into combat against <<The Moonlit Deathwolf>> and it's dreaded Frost ability greatsword. The beast blocked his <<Sword Skill>> along with a <<Sword Skill>> of it's own, causing Shineda's eyes to widen in shock. In the recovery delay, the beast struck him with a fist, sending Shineda flying.

'Tch...' Shineda rolled to break his fall and then prepared himself for the next attack.
