The news had just been announced. "I... can't believe it..." The Grey Knight said, as he looked around seeing other players panic. "I need to go quickly...." He called to himself, walking off in his newbie armor. "Need to get better gear before the mobs come in..." He kep telling himself.

This was his tale, a tale of legends... the tale of the Grey knight needing to be told. His quest was just started as he started taking on the first dungeon himself, always stopping when he heard the clatters and commotions of the groups. He went back to town and ventured off each hour, mapping the whole of the dungeon. He needed to map it, needed to know if anything had changed.

Sword and shield in hand, the fighter was unkillable to the npcs. He walked around for hours getting loot to sell it back to the merchant to get some better armor. "I swear...." He said to himself. "It really is boring doing this alone." He said walking around... "I can't believe I get stuck in an rpg I really like and don't spend any time enoying it! Plus, with my face revealed, my helmet is the only thing I can keep on to stop anybody from seeing my identity." He said, after he slew another boar.

'LEVEL UP'

The text appeared. "Hmmmm... Level 10 no? Meh..." He said shrugging... then it happened.

"HELP ME!" Came a scream, Setsuko turned around, as he saw a player running away from killers... other players killing players for loot... this had to stop, he told himself.

Shield in hand, he ran as his sword lighted up from the charging energy. "GET BACK AWAY FROM HIM YOU BASTARDS!" He yelled, jumping on them, three versus one.

The blade already charged, he launched his attack, striking one down to his knees in the blow as the sword protruded from his chest. Setsuko kicked the guy off his sword, expertly flipped in back in his hand as he raised his shield, the guy falling over with barely enough HP to stand. "Who's next?" The knight asked as he grinned behind his helmet. "Who the hell are -you-!?" Screamed one of the attackers. "Just the defender... you can call me the Grey Knight." He said in a suave tone. "Oh yea? Well you're about to be the -DEAD- knight!" His opponent exclaimed.

Then, for no apperent reason, 'Tsuko slid down... and on closer look you could see a sword slashing up above his head. He expertly jumped over the guy, shield bashing him in the face and using it as a small boost to his backflip. "I swear, you guys need to start hiding your ping on the minimap." He said, slashing the guy behind his knees while he was still blacked out from the bash, the thuig falling down to his knees. He looked to the leader. "Are you the last one?" He asked, clearly amusing himself.

"H-H-How did you!?" He asked watching his buddy's health go down from the wound. "I'm not stupid, I was a beta tester and know alot of stuff about this game. Now I ask the game, are you the last?" He asked, a bit more threateningly. "I give you one chance to surrender a-" Before he could finish his sentence, the man was on him, sword slashing. He stopped the blade easily. "Sheesh, do you know how rude that is?" He asked, as the blade came back the other way around. Tsuko just deflected it, came in with his shield and bashed him upside the head, making him fall backwards. "Take your men and leave before I decide to kick your ass." He said, as he blocked another blow, this time deciding to stab the leader of the thugs through the knee.

He jumped back as he howled in pain, falling over. "I'm not a killer like you." He said, looking back to the man that was first
attacked. "Just follow the road back east you'll find the town there." He said, the man too bewildered to speak just shook his head and ran. Setsuko sighed, sheathing his sword and looting the bastards. "Oh, nice little sword you have here." He said, equipping it. He walked back to town that he said, the second town... he hoped all would be well there.

Setsuko Arthoren, level 15.

He walked through the bazaar, sighing. He caught glimpse of a Black haired girl walk past, but nothing more interesting then that. He had kept himself up and not rested for the whole knight, keeping onto his grinding of experience. "I can't believe nobody actually said thanks..." He said sighing. He had participated in the Front Lines and helped clear out most of the first dungeon, having finished mapping the things needed.

Then, he had seen the unthinkable. An orange player actually walking into the town... and being attacked. He had sighed, watching the fight go on and was very peculiar seeing a little red haired girl... the same that he saw earlier, defend the man. "What... are..." He asked, jumping down from his rooftop perch.

Then, he saw an even more unthinkable thing. The girl had actually gotten rid of the guards for the boy. "WHAT!?" He yelled out. He ran to the group, but before he could reach, the two had already gone. He growled, trying to keep onto them. He then decided to go by roof, easily keeping up with the black haired girl that had her hair turn red.... still not knowing what trickery that was. He jumped down as soon as they reached the inn. He saw them split apart, the girl getting in her own room. He bashed on the door. "Excuse me, Miss! We need to talk!" He called from the other side of the room.

He then looked at himself. "Fantastic... I look like a fucking guard right now..." He said, mumbling it under his breath as he kept bashing on the door.
