Introduction

.hack// and SAO fans welcome

In the year of 2022, the entire world is now connected by the network and largely turned to a new OS known as Infinit O.S. which is known. With this new O.S. came new ideas bringing companies both gaming and professional alike on ahead of any professions in the world. Coming 2026 announcement exclaiming the world's to be newest sensation "The Infinit World", a virtual reality massive multiplayer role-playing game was made. This stirred many people up, especially when it came to the fact that Inifinit O.S. was the creators of this sensation bringing the merchandise of "Infinit Nerve" which was said to connect you with the game and its network, allowing you to feel, hear, smell. (Although pain of course was by no means real). It wasn't long when the company released Alpha information which only allowed 500 people enjoy the game at that time sending the chosen there "Free" gear. This was a successful test for Infinit which began in 2028 and ended early 2029. It was only half a year later when the beta which allowed 2000 (alpha testers included) players to enjoy and test the new content only allowing the last session which lasted 2 weeks the ability for characters to save progress. This test once again proved to be a world success!

Everything seemed to be going extremely well, especially when those who were not selected chose to read player reviews and the infinit site. Finally 2030, Omaida Kyori gave the announcement in an email giving the long awaited news saying "The Infinit World" is released and on the shelves.

It had been only but a month in the game and everyone is having fun exploring, leveling, or achieving goals. Yet suddenly on a midnight, A patch had come out known as 1.20X... People were unaware of the situation occurring yet they did find it odd for such a time. As asked they ran and installed they soon found there fate locked in the game. As soon as the patch finished the usual message "Patch Complete" appeared before them and soon after a message was given with the patch notes from the “System”. It all started like the normal letter that any patch gave for their games explaining new content but it turned to be something darker.

Patch: 1.20X

Enhanced your senses in the game.

Given balance to all races' stats

8 New Dungeons placed..

UI settings updated.....

Log out button/function removed...

NPC interaction increased...

A note from the admin: “Thank you subscribers for taking part in "The Infinit World". I do apologize any inconvenience this may cause but I have removed your function to log out, As you may have read this patch has increased your senses … to the point to where you will die outside if you die here. The new dungeons I have placed will be your only escape, 8 keys are at the end of each dungeon... know they will not reset yet... and they will not be easy... Once all 8 keys are collected, You must go to the holy cathedral and place them among the statue and only then will you finally be able to escape the world... My motives are simple yet I will not explain it to you unless you make it out…”

After players logged in to read this message, they found the words to be true only to try to log out and fail. Some committed suicide, some decided to take on the challenge yet others plan to stay in the city. Knowing Pkers are out there, its a lot easier getting away with murder... What will you do... Many people in town are banding together raising their guilds to begin conquering the 8 dungeons of the game. Solo players are doing there best as well, some have gotten further then guilds have but theirs only so much you can do as a solo especially as the game progresses and gets to be dangerous....

Roleplayers... Know that GM communications have been cut off (due to the Gms being disabled upon patch release).

Level 20 - [b]Ability Name[/b] [b]Type:[/b]Active or Passive [b]Spell:[/b] Yes or No [b]SP:[/b] The SP to cast the ability/spell Description – Be sure to be specific and know how to balance characters this is something I will be looking over before accepting your character. Abilities are what define your character's type/class. Know I will be reviewing your character to make sure he or she is balanced in skills. Although you can choose to any abilities that may define your character, it still needs to keep a good balance. I highly suggest you get a skill set that fits your character's play style. Also you can use an ability slot to raise your racial maximum(s). However know you can only raise your maximum by a total of 10 points. This means if you want to raise ALL of your maximums then it will be only a 2 point upgrade. Other such you'll need to divide the points to how you wish them to be. If you wish to dual-wield then it will cost a ability slot. Spells are of course abilities that have to do with using Magic! That much is obvious so if your shooting fireballs from your hand or are using any elements then thats a spell. Enhancing a weapon for an elemental attack.. thats a spell. Spell's SP cost is by percentage. [b][u]Character History[/b][/u] If you're new unless you want to give a brief explanation of what you have done thus far for the first time logging in - you can leave it blank. If you're a beta tester I expect a full character history with details if you're a beta tester/player... Remember you had six weeks of playing, “DO NOT” say you got a high level or something like that. Just explain your process and progress of what you did during the beta phase and the month in detail. That will determine your level I give you... If your not a beta tester, say how long you have been playing whether it be one day up to four weeks. Remember I'll be expecting a good summary. As for others with some durations I also expect a good summary. Other then that known I reward "SOME" extra levels and gold for what i feel are good summaries.

If you need a reference please be sure to check my character.

Races/Maximums

Code: Select all: Human - The balance of all races. The humans are able to withstand and adjust to any environment or situation. Many humans have different path and mindsets which makes them able to do nearly any type of job they train for. Strength - 20 Vitality - 20 Dexterity - 20 Agility - 20 Intelligence - 20 Mind - 20 Elf - They resemble humans quite close other then having pointed ears. They're also seen to be the most intelligent of the races having the best intelligence of the 5 in maximums. They however lack in speed and vitality making which can make them rather fragile in some cases. Strength - 20 Vitality - 16 Dexterity - 20 Agility - 16 Intelligence - 28 Mind - 20 Beast - Often seen as often hulking humanoids with animal traits and features. Good examples would be to relate to would be Vargr, or Final fantasy terms Cremiere, Half dragons do not exist. This race has is shown to be the strongest among the 5 races but they lack in speed and intelligence. Strength - 28 Vitality - 32 Dexterity - 20 Agility - 16 Intelligence - 12 Mind - 12 Dwarf - Small yet strong, the dwarves are shown to be a better balance of the 5 races although can still be shown to lack in the spell area in maximum wise. Strength - 24 Vitality - 24 Dexterity - 20 Agility - 24 Intelligence - 16 Mind - 12 Neko - Humanoids with cat like features of ears and tails. They the fastest race in maximums making most of the other stats weaker. They aren't too strong physically from what most have seen but there speed well makes up for it. Strength - 16 Vitality - 16 Dexterity - 28 Agility - 32 Intelligence - 16 Mind - 16

For those who come in after the Roleplay starts!

Current Dungeon/arc:: Dungeon 1
Current Week since release: 4(6 for beta Testers)
Currently Accepting Beta-Testers: (Will limit if there is more B.Ts then normal players/newbs)

If you're a late entry or finally decide to join the Roleplay, I first suggest you look at the "plot update" tab in the OOC so you know where we are and where we stand. I will be updating this information each time we beat a dungeon/complete a part of the story. Information that you will need to know is that your character WILL NOT have taken part in any dungeons/boss battles or a main guild that too. Sadly enough you will have to write a longer character history so your character can be caught up to the game this is only normal, you saying two weeks of history while the game has been out for 7 weeks (example) would be ridiculous because you're trapped here... there really is no breaks. HOWEVER, depending on the week will be an addition D6 roll for your level... for example if we're 6 weeks. I'll roll the die 6 times to get your starting level... In addition, I'll add a additional 3-6 levels if we completed a dungeon. Know those 6 rolls also will be addition gold money too.. One last thing is that know I will not always be accepting Beta testers... depending on what the ratio is.. I want normal players too...

Toggle Rules

- No Godmodding or Mary Sues (Obviously thats impossible in this RP especially when doing Dungeons)
- Give about three paragraphs... We should all be able to write that much. Sometimes dialogue has it's exceptions but even then you can add details to your conversation, expressing how your character feels, what he's doing when talking, posture, etc.
- Romance allowed (keep it pg-13).
- Keep up with the OOC.
- Please be nice and respect those you roleplay with.
- Take opportunities to roleplay with each other!!
- You're Only Allowed one character for this roleplay. However if you prove you can keep up and actually post as often as you can in the roleplay then I may accept it.
(Rules may be updated so keep a look out)

(Don't forget to read the OOC)

Hilde
Neko (36)
EXP:3/30
Gold:1770
Baldr - Town Square
12:05 A.M.

It was 12:05 when the patch kicked in and she suddenly faded in and out as the patch applied itself which was normal due to the fact that the game never logged you out when applying these new changes but only did minor phases to apply everything. Hilde had just arrived in Baldr teleporting from Baldr when she suddenly heard the message ping which had also been normal when patches had been completed. The woman sighed hoping that the new changes would possibly add more unexpected flavor to her eventful infinit life as her she extend her right arm slightly before extending her index finger outwards. The woman then rose the finger above dragging it down to make a menu appear. The neko had only given it a second before her eyes came into contact with the option "Message" and the icon blinking green. She grinned poking the icon which then made her message list appear. It was then when she was a little happy she didn't have too much connections but at the same time as she selected the message she had been surprised that over six months she didn't achieve to get only but one friend yet… a ton of enemies. Finally the message had appeared after waiting a couple of seconds. She had began to read the notes when she suddenly heard a scream of a female player who was possibly on the other side of town's square. Hilde's eyes went towards the direction surprised before reading further until she reached the end of "UI Settings updated…". This time it had been a male player.

"No way!!" He exclaimed this only made the woman turn completely with the message still in front of her. To examine the person. He didn't look happy in fact more so afraid. Hilde would've then looked back to the message to read everything else but the screams and exclamations rose. It wasn't long until she noticed bringing going back on there menu's. The neko blinked before finally decided to let every continue exclaiming before reading the rest. Her eyes widened to the rest as she read the grim message. She could feel her heartbeat racing as if her fear and adrenaline had been rushing. Suddenly her fist clinched only a few shakes had been going on before a subtle laugh that only grew louder. Suddenly people turned to see what it was all about.

"Hahahahaha!!… Is this some kind of sick joke, you really think the game can keep us in here!?" She asked and thought out loud. People then began speaking of her actions and questioned if she was the blind tempest. Hilde had loved the game but had no intentions of living a false life in here. The woman sighed walking passed a few people who was near by before walking off towards "Kingdom Square".

12:10

Hilde could still here the people cry out as she walked through the town. They sure had a reason, such information and proof was nothing to be calm about. Neko's tail moved side to side as she walked by the players. It was nice to a point since for once she didn't feel the eyes of other players for being a player given title. It wasn't long until she reached the center when she noticed "Silver" (Leader of Knights of Baldur) with a few of his knights above a crowd of people. Hilde's eyes squinted as she paused behind the crowd before suddenly hearing what this "knight" had to say.

"Worry not!! This is definitely a serious matter but the Knights of Baldur will not stand back and do nothing about it… no… everyone will have to work together now if this is serious. As of now the knights have a even bigger purpose that all should know. If the players can actually die, we swear we will not allow anyone to be murdered!" Silver exclaimed out as his knights saluted and bowed. Suddenly a player south east of him yelled out a question.

"What about Shi and The Blind Tempest? With those two out there, we may not survive long!"

Silver squinted looking at him before noticing in the corner of his eye Hilde standing in the background. He then smiled as did Hilde. "Times have changed… I do not know what Shi intends to do adjusting to such matters but The Blind Tempest is one who kills player killers. Of course her actions hopefully change because of this! Otherwise we will be forced to take her out as planned most likely jailing her" The knight replied as if he was speaking to her directly. Hilde smiled before licking her lips and yelled back as everyone turned towards her.

"You're right!! I'm just the person who kills others for there death. Knights of Baldur, you're just players in this world trying to keep things civil which I enjoy but I have my own way of keeping things safe in this world. If you or Shi get in my way, I have no intentions of sitting back, there are those who kill in this world and until it is safe I will not sit back. I am only but a player in this world, I do not hurt those innocent but.. I do enjoy what I do"

People gasped at how brave she had been but the knights had no intentions of acting quite yet. Silver was an understanding person but with eye contact he did warn her once more. Hilde shook her head walking away from the crowd towards the exit of Badlr when she suddenly looked up to see the first tower nearly blocking the sun. Her eyes squinted as she rose her hand to block the sun. "That… wasn't there before…" she thought to herself looking towards it before extending her arm out as her blood red lance appeared. She then licked her lips as she then headed towards the tower. Unexpected that she was being followed by 4 Shi members of level 28.

(For those who possibly stayed after "Hilde" Left)

Silver then yelled out to the people who were still listening which most were other then those who seemed to be in a panic state.

"If all we need to do is get the keys of these dungeons then that is just what we're going to do... I have no idea how powerful they are and what we'll go through from this point on but we can not give up!"

The man with his knights then walked off with a bit of seriousness.. He then pulled up his message tab and sent his "friend" a message about all of this and then sighed before continuing onwards with his guild.

12:25

Hilde had been running towards the tower she had her eyes locked on when she finally heard footsteps behind her. She then stopped and sighed looking behind her pulling her lance to direct at them. They suddenly stopped before holding there hands up.

"L-Listen, we're no longer in Shi. Us four are friends in reality and w-we just don't know about all of this. We don't want to be killed by you… s-so we're quitting this guild…" One said. She looked at there names and suddenly the "Shi" tag disappeared. Hilde sighed and personally couldn't believe they followed her for that. She only smiled obviously only her mouth being shown. They flinched before the Neko spoke.

"Now you listen… You didn't have to come all this way to tell me that. Just quit the guild and don't PK anyone from here on out. If what the message said is true which by no log out it may be… then it is now a game of life and death. A true game of survival, I have no idea what Shi's policies are and if they changed when you leave the guild but I suggest you be careful." Suddenly she turned from them and once again found herself dashing towards the tower once more. Hilde couldn't help but wonder how that guild was taking all of this and how it would all end up. Could they really live as murderers because they could get away with it? She licked her lips.

"For the right cause… I sure could" The neko giggled to herself. Finally she reached the the tower's entrance only to catch her breath propping herself again the lance before allowing herself to sit down to relax she didn't see anyone by this point but it did make her curious to see if anyone had been coming this way. She personally wouldn't have been too surprised if a few were they strong enough? Especially right now... was she even strong enough? How strong were the creatures inside? The neko couldn't help but think hard about all of these questions.

12:30

Strasza
Dwarf (34)
EXP:3/30
Gold:20
Ymir Mountain
12:05

Strasza had just faded back in feeling the wind blow passed her as she was on the mountains. The girl had just finished patching the game when she suddenly heard the message ping. First making sure no creatures were near by she then navigated through the menu and opened the menu where she read in a whisper. Everything seemed normal to her until she reached the logout function part. Her eyes widened from that and then came to the part where she could die. She gasped out with a surprised voice altered by her dwarf's childish voice.

"No way!" Strasza said as she quickly closed the menu and went to see if her log out button was really gone. Just as the message had said, it was. The dwarf had been shaking before collapsing on the ground looking down. Suddenly she heard a growl and turned to see a "Mountain Ogre". It was then when the quote that she could die and pain could be sensed even further was in her mind. The girl had been fighting here and killing while having fun but in this moment as the ogre walked with his club ready she could only think of death. "What if I mess up…? what if this ogre throws me off the cliff… I may die today!" She thought before shaking off getting in her stance as her hands began to glow.

Mountain Ogre
HP: 495
SP: 165
P.ATK/DEF: 66/33
M.ATK/DEF: 66/33

The ogre growled he locked onto Strasza and got into his own stance with his club ready. Strasza went wide eyed, she could feel her heart racing in fear. With this battle she could very well die here and because of that she was prepared to fight it, even though she was scared. The dwarf didn't waste any time yet nor did she think in the moment of overkilling she began chanting in that moment. She could feel the ground begin to shake as the black book appeared with arcane energy around it. (69) Her as her eyes then begin to glow purple. Suddenly 5 visible and dark purple arcane energy streams swirls around Strasza only to shake the ground near her even harder. These sudden streams of energy locked onto her the ogre and flows straight to them burning them in the process before bursting. Every stream may feel as if its a large blade cutting into there opponent. The ogre screamed in pain before splitting into four parts. The dwarf slid down to her knees panting in exhaustion as she used the spell. Was this normal? did it always feel as if she had just ran when casting spells? She didn't understand so she decided to make her way back down the mountain to get to Kvasir, she'd be safe there.

12:20

While doing this she once again heard the ping of a message and opened her menu to see it was from "Silver" asking if she was alright which she could only reply with a "Yes, want to meet up somewhere… this is freaking me out…?". She then wondered how the rest of the world was taking this.

Sparow
Human(1)
EXP:3/15
Gold:20
Baldr- town square
12:05

A yawn escaped Sparows lips as he laid back against the wall of the town center. He had just recently signed up and logged in just in time for the patch. At the time he had already been scrolling through the menu inspecting all the options it had. “Items, messages, friends list, guild, party, seems simple enough.” He spoke out softly to himself. The world faded in and out for him. It took him a moment to figure out what had just happened, but upon studying the crowd he notices allot of people checking their messages now. He looked at his own and sure enough there was a single message in his inbox. He pressed his finger against the icon and opened up the message. Patch info was the title of course and quickly glanced over it one paying no real mind to any of it, the game was already new to him so what did he care if there was a path? It was still new and he would figure it out in time. At least that was his thought process at the time. He then heard the first scream; he looked out to where the sound had come from with a raised brow, then in an instant panic broke out. His expression gave of nothing but confusion as he looked back to the message and actually read it this time. “No log out… what the hell?” he closed the message and scrolled down to where the log out button used to be. Nothing, an event maybe? Weird event, he thought to himself. It was then that the knights started to talk to the crowd all something he was half listening to as he was trying to come up with his own explanation but found nothing that made logical sense. There was a neko woman who was yelling back and forth with the knights but again he was only paying half attention. He did how ever take notice to the woman see something outside of town and head off that way. Sparow pushed off the wall and looked to what was now a tower sticking out in the distance. “That wasn’t there before right?” he shrugged and closed the menu and head off towards it, he was never one to sit around doing nothing any way, live or die.

12:15

Sparow walked through the town gates only to be meet by a breeze that came off more than weird to him. Last thing he expected was to actually feel the weather like this. The creator sue was brilliant to get this to work, to bad he's insane. Pity they really had something here. He took a moment to gather himself and continued on towards the tower. His mind wandered as he walked, just trying to piece together what was happening and why, no log out so then what? If it was an event this was horrible planning. No that wasn't the reason, so why? He couldn't find the answer he wanted. "Guess I’ll just play the game." he spoke out with a sigh. A group of higher level players passed him by that looked rather shady but he paid no mind to them. Must of been investigating the tower as well, wasn't his business.

12:30

He walked on for a few more minutes and came face to face with the neko character from before, waiting in front of the tower. He looked at her for only a moment but didn’t speak out. His gave turned back to the tower as he looked up trying to see the top. He stood there in awkward silence for a while before he looked back to her and pointed his right hand at the tower facing towards the neko. “Don’t suppose you know what this thing is do you?” he spoke out to her without a hint of concern in his voice. “I know it’s a tower but uh… was that thee earlier? Or did I just miss it?” he didn’t wait for an answer as he turned back to the tower itself looking at the entrance.

Piko
Beast(20)
EXP:2/20
Gold:5510
Baldr – Town Square
12:05 A.M.

It was no longer after a bit of gameplay that he felt the need of getting out of the game. He was sure that his parents would freakout again if they learned that he is still playing on this game. Piko was about the log out as he suddenly faded in and out; a new patch just updated the game. He had reached the Baldr town right now, and he thought it would be a good place to stop. There is a message that popped up, but he felt that the need of reading it will be for tomorrow, but as his UI popped out to the menu screen, he gasped a bit. It was either of his bad vision, or it was a joke; the log out button wasn't there anymore. He looked over the message, only realizing that he might not be the only one finding out about it. His reptilian eyes. Not only that; what about his brother? Gosh, he really need to find him before some PK'er have the fun idea of starting to murder people – really murdering people.

Then it snapped him; he doesn't know what his brother's nickname is, nor does he know what he looks like. What if he couldn't recognize his own brother? All of this ran into his poor little mind as his heart rushed to give him adrenaline. No, he won't just fall like that, but he couldn't run around. It would alert people even more as he could already hear some of them mourning and crying. He just casually walk like if nothing happened. However... he hope that his brother either be obvious to find, or he didn't log in at that moment.

12:10 A.M.

Upon walking around, he saw a group of people seeming to ask one of the knight of the Knights of Baldur. He knew it was some kind of reunion that people just scheduled because of the recent and drastic events. Although, it wasn't any of his interest. Piko had the strange feeling that he'll be watched on both guilds; since of his most recent activities, it wouldn't be a surprise if he got interrupted by one of them. He just didn't care at that time... but due to the patch, he had to change his policy. Right now, he won't be accepting any challenge anymore. He is going to watch over his brother, and that is what is happening. If anything, he'll probably have to sacrifice himself for saving him.

Piko shook his head; not, everything will be fine. If they hide in the darkness, maybe they will not do anything about him and his sibling. If they just ignore them, they'll ignore them too, right? Unfortunately, that is not how the reptile thought. Of course, due to the nature of the game, and the new patch, it is easier for people to murder. He had to think why wouldn't you kill someone? After all, it will free of justice charge... unless if that admin had that in his or her mind. Come to think of it; why would the admin do such terrible thing? It just didn't hit in Piko's mind. Maybe it is something that is so obvious that he just overlooked it.

He just didn't understand....

12:25

Obliviously, it isn't easy to find someone in the crowds. It was concerning to know that there was maybe already people that are dead. He sighed softly. Maybe his brother was waiting him at the spawn? He doubt that is the case, but he pointed himself to where most people start that, leaning against a wall, crossing his arms. It was such a tragic and morbid turn of situation, but he closed his eyes, thinking. The lizard tried to calm himself down

Empyrean
Elf(11)
EXP: 3/15
Gold: 1160
Baldr - City Limits

12:05 A.M.

Empyrean checked her inventory as she awaited the reply from her friends. She was trying to conserve her gold, but she was running low on potions and with the increase of Shi activity in the areas surrounding Baldr, she didn't want to chance it. This "war" between the factions were getting out of hand. It was almost impossible to walk in the Town Center in Baldr without being recruited or attacked. Empyrean, despite her group mentality, found neither of the options attractive. She didn't want to police anyone, but she certainly didn't want to kill anyone. No, Empyrean decided that sitting out of this fight is in her best interest. Besides, some of her friends were thinking of creating a faction and she would probably choose to be with them. Speaking of her friends, she still hadn't received a reply.

Just as she opened her menu to check her messages, the elf noticed her hands flicker. A tad concerned, she racked her brain for a probable cause. Just as a wave of nausea overcame her, she remembered that a new patch was installing. She had read somewhere online that some of the beta testers had a similar experience as the patches activated. Thankfully, the ill feeling passed quickly as she became solid again. Blinking her eyes a few times in quick succession returned her vision to normal, well normal for the game. She heard a ping as the message icon began to glow.

Thinking her friends had finally replied with their location, she excitedly opened the message. To her disappointment, the message was about the changes caused by the patch. She didn't bother to open the message, she knew she wouldn't understand it. One of her brothers would explain it to her over breakfast in the morning. They always did. Sighing, she checked the time. Her friends were taking much longer to reply than she thought they would, but then again, they could be caught up in a battle.

12:10 A.M.

After waiting several minutes, Empyrean decided to begin her journey to Freya. She knew it was quite a journey, and a torturous one at that without a guide. The Enchanted Forest is regarded as one of the most difficult terrains to traverse. Hopefully, the maze like structure will give her a break as it's her race's homeland. She could only hope.

The beginning of her walk was a bit odd. There didn't seem any players around and the road was clear of Shi. Empyrean reasoned that they must have just logged off, but she couldn't help but feel an unidentified tension about the situation. Before long, she heard a few screeches in the distance. Disturbingly, the screams gave her a bit of relief. Now she knew that there were others still in the game and they were far away from her. As she gazed in the direction of the cries, she suddenly noticed a tower.

"I'm certain that wasn't here before..." She regarded the tower with curiosity. She had spent a lot of time in the Plains of Genesis over the last weeks. She knew the lands and skyline better than anyone. That tower must have appeared with the last patch. She sent sly looks at the tower as she continued on the path to Freya. Once she met with her group, she would see what they knew of this new, imposing feature.

12:30 A.M.

After a good 20 minutes of strenuous navigation (she just tried to walk in the straightest line possible), Empyrean had breached the edge of the forest and finally caught sight of the beautiful elven city. The vast city had massive towers that reached into the bright night sky. The sky itself was a wonder to behold. The stars were so clear, the elf almost forgot she was in a video game. The city's shadows were mysterious and inviting. She could only imagine the things they had seen. Perhaps their enticing beauty called to her friends and swallowed them up.

Zeta
Human(29)
EXP: 3/20
Gold: 670
Baldr - Town Square

12:05

Zeta hardly had any time for himself since becoming a Trusted Member of the Knights of Baldur. He supposed that it was partially due to the recent influx in Shi activity. Honestly, he would be comfortable with his level in different games. It was low enough to keep him under the radar, yet high enough to warrant some respect. However, leveling wasn't really his concern. His concern was being able to protect the citizens of Baldr. With Shi growing in numbers and their members becoming higher levels, he would soon be left in the dust. He just didn't have any time to complete his own quests. His days were filled complaints about attacks and keeping the peace between players in Baldr. It was hardly difficult, just time consuming.

In addition to his lack of leveling, he hadn't really been able to get back to Taketo or Empyrean for the last few weeks, his message box was always flooded with complaints about another Shi attack or a merchant that cheated another player out of money. The problems that he faced on a day to day basis were just becoming boring. They were always the same, usually repeat offenders. Zeta was thinking about taking a little time off to increase his skill and party back up with his friends. He wasn't sure how well that would go over, seeing as he was barely promoted. Zeta didn't want to leave the guild, he just wanted something exciting to happen.

Zeta felt a sudden weightlessness about him as the scheduled patch dropped. He kept his composure, not phased by the peculiar feeling. Once the update finished, he felt himself return to normal. A shrill ping echoed in his ears causing his heart to drop into his stomach. "Please don't be a complaint, please don't be a complaint," he chanted in his head as he opened the menu. He sighed in relief when he saw it was the patch details. He glanced through, eyes catching on the words 'logout function removed.'

12:10

Zeta wasn't sure what to feel. He continued to stare at the words, hoping that it would help him understand what they meant. He could hear the citizens of Baldur crying all around him. His people needed him, but there he stood, in the middle of the Town Square staring at the message. His message box was pinging like crazy, it was flooding with messages from worried players.

"Dude, come on!" Zeta glanced up as one of his fellow knights grabbed his arm and began to pull him along. The pair climbed a short stair and took positions behind Silver as a crowd began to amass beneath them.

Zeta stood stoic, but lost in his own thoughts. He didn't quite listen to what was being said. There was obviously shouting, but that didn't steal him away from his inner turmoil. Where were Empyrean and Taketo? How are they taking the news? What will become of them? What will be come of him?

He only returned to "reality" when Silver and the other knights headed to the guild hall.

12:40

Zeta finally excused himself from the guild hall. Some of his fellow knights were having trouble keeping themselves in check. He sneaked out into the cool night air and opened his messages. He scrolled through all of the panicked messages from random players, searching for 2 names in particular. Finally finding a message from Empyrean, he read through.

Finally, he replied, "Hey Em. I'm in Baldur. I have been for a while now. Do you want to get together and talk about all this? Be careful, the trek from Freya can be really dangerous and we're playing for keeps now." He sent a similar message to Taketo, hoping to get responses soon. He wanted nothing more than for them to be alive.

Hilde
Neko (36)
EXP:6/30
Gold:1790
Baldr - Town Square
12:33 A.M.

It had been a quiet first three minutes for Hilde as she examined the tower that stood tall before her. The neko could feel the breeze of the wind flow by her as she sat cross legged with her fingers laced together in her lap. The white tail poked out from the back of her coat, only to sway back and forth peeking out of random spots. The neko could feel every movement of this which she had gotten used to after a while. Even in reality at times she would forget that she didn't have a tail although she felt as though she did which only brought her to giggle. The woman never focused so hard before especially now. Surely there may be a few other players willing to attempt this but was she going to seek them out? Of course not. This is a game of death now, why would she involve others? The neko stared at the door until she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. The lady looked back and blinked as the human warrior passed her and stood there awkwardly or what one would think. She found it normal just because she did the same thing not too long ago. Suddenly the man turned to her and pointed before speaking.

"Don't suppose you know what this thing is do you?" He asked without concern. The woman didn't speak since by the pause it was obvious he'd speak once more. Hilde only waited that second until he spoke again.

"I know it's a tower but uh… was that there earlier? Or did I just miss it?" He asked before turning back to the tower.

Hilde smirked before pressing her left hand on her knee as the right went to the ground before lifting herself up. The sound of her greaves and heavy armor sliding against each other and she stood up was made know before brushing herself off. The neko then felt as if she needed to adjust her visor before bring up the menu after holding her hand out to the man. Her finger then went to "Player Information" where she read off who exactly this man was in a whisper. Low rank., beginning equipment, and in completion a newbie. She sighed although she wasn't doing it in pity or to say he was weak. It was more so that she had a bit of concern for the player who seemed to follow her out in a dangerous field. This however didn't stop her from answering him.

"You read the patch notes? Eight dungeons… It's only a guess that this is the first and with that said, I suggest you make your way back to town or be safe out here. I don't know whats in there but whatever it is… I'm going in. Don't take me as being rude of course but a level 1, I don't think its too safe here. I think it'd be in your best interest to go back to Baldr or find a very remote area to level in. If however you do choose to follow me, I won't stop you but I won't be responsible for what lies ahead either" Hilde said before walking towards the entrance holding her right hand out slightly before making a red spear appear. The girl then noticed a menu appear before her asking if she wanted to enter. The girl hesitated at when the "yes or no" question asking if she wanted to enter or not appeared but clicked "Yes". Suddenly Hilde was encased in light before teleporting away.

12:35 A.M.

Tower Dungeon - 0%

When you enter the dungeon... you suddenly here a loud slam of the door behind you. Its obvious that you're in a separate zone and you figure its just game ambiance which it does for every party that joins. When your eyes open you are revealed to dark hallway at first, the ground is obviously stone as well as the walls which holds a torch every 5 foot. The hallway is about 8 foot wide yet the length that it goes to is relatively a short. At the end of the hallway you see a passage that reveals stairs that ascend. Its very quiet and a little warm inside this area. Other then a general idea... you will notices small spiders and your typical rats that scurry the floors.

As Hilde opened her eyes which are of course blindfolded to other players, she noticed a rat chirping near her foot only to be kicked off before taking a few footsteps. The woman examined her surroundings as she went through the hall. She noticed no monsters on this floor although to her the hallway was pretty small and didn't look as though monsters would be spawned there. The neko's tail moved as she walked hearing her foot steps echo every step of the way. Although it had been dark, it felt as though she personally could see better with having a blindfold it nearly felt normal other then the hall being candle lit. It wasn't long until the girl reached the stairs and smirked. Hilde could feel her heart begin to race curious to what could be up there. It was only seconds later when she began taking her first few steps up the stairs.

12:40 A.M.

Tower Dungeon - 15%

After walking up the steps being ahead Hilde suddenly froze seeing two unthinkable monsters as soon as she came onto the first floor. They stood blocking the way to the next set of stairs. Why she seemed so surprised was because the whispering plains never had undead in the normal area. Why were they here? In addition what she also wondered why they were so tall. None of the "GOBLINS" in the beginning field were ever so tall. She may have been a Neko but goblins in the world were often her size.(These goblins are about 5 ft each).

As Hilde stepped onto the base floor making it to the actual first floor. The two goblins noticed her but didn't actually move. It was more so as if they growled at her. They did a recognizable growl but it didn't phase Hilde. She merely rose a hand to target one of them and noticed there level which she gave a small chuckle until moving her eyes to there health which then made her go wide eyed. So much HP, nearly as much as a normal level 30 ogre in Ymir. Was this how the game would become harder? She could only wonder what the boss would be like but that thought was shaken off as she was about to fight. Although she had no idea what the damage would be. Once again she felt her heart begin to race but which lead to her giving heavy breaths to calm down. After doing such she had gave a small battle cry before dashing forward, extending her right arm out before summoning her lance.

<Hilde has engaged combat>

Tower Goblin #1
HP: 600
SP: 50
P.ATK/DEF: 40/10
M.ATK/DEF: 20/10

Tower Goblin #2
HP: 600
SP: 50

The goblins once she became close enough also began to charge and the clash began. With Hilde's left hand, she reached out attempting to grab the goblin's arm (51). In that moment she grabbed the goblin and Threw it towards the other (76). The goblin easily sees his friend being thrown and dodges it letting his companion fly passed him hitting the ground. Hilde didn't waste any time after that as she then found herself rushing up to the standing goblin before jumping into the air attempting to mid air jab the creature (08). The attack pierces the goblins chest, her spear nearly going all the way through. It merely screamed as virtual blood fell out the other end. The woman then leaped backwards pulling the spear out. Before screaming as she rose her spear as if it were a javelin. She then threw it with such power it went straight for the goblin (Tempest Spear) (67). The goblin screeches as it begins to rush Hilde but suddenly stops as the spear goes right through the fiend. The neko then lifts her right foot before placing it down as if she were to step, disappearing in the shadows. Only to reappear grabbing her spear as soon as it flies out of the goblin kicking it in the process (05). For her last action upon landing only 10 feet from the goblin, sliding against the ground. She rushed up to it only to spear it (48). The spear lands straight into the goblins arm as it screeches in pain.

In this moment Goblin #1 finally got up and growls pissed. He raises his small club and charges for Hilde who's spear is inside it's companion (45). The club hits the neko however being a low level it only felt like a push. Hilde grunted as the weapon hit. Her eyes looked to see this fiend behind her raising its weapon once more to attack. Her eyes went wide as the weapon comes down. She barely was able to move although the end scratched her (21). The goblin growled in frustration and used everything he hand in his next attack to lower the Neko's hp even slightly (09). Hilde once again grunts as she finally gets her spear out ready as if she's ready to counter any thing ready to attack her. The second goblin that was stabbed screeches as he uses his shield to bash her away (70). The woman notices this and immediately flips backwards. To follow up the goblin once again rushes with his shield putting all his strength in before hitting Hilde (01). The neko flies across the room hitting the wall rough. She screams feeling the damage go into her. Her eyes widened as she noticed this change.

"I…I can actually feel it…." She said as she noticed the goblin once again charging her. Although she got out of a minor shock. She was once again charged, this time being hit with the club (25). Hilde looked up winking as the club struck her over the head followed by another swing bashing her across the face. Although obviously hidden, Hilde had a bit of a angered look upon her face which was when she once again charged clashing weapons once more blocking both of the creatures at once.

Tower Goblin #1
HP: 535/600
SP: 50
P.ATK/DEF: 40/10
M.ATK/DEF: 20/10

Tower Goblin #2
HP: 228/600
SP: 50

Hilde takes 26 damage and uses

12:50 A.M.

Strasza
Dwarf (34)
EXP:6/30
Gold:40
Ymir Mountain
12:30

Strasza had been moving the mountain rather quickly avoiding any unnecessary battles. Especially since she just had used 1/4th of her mana in the last fight. The dwarf hopped down rock by rock and climbed down avoiding straight paths as she went down the large trail. The girl was at at the midpoint off the trail leading to Odin and ascending to the peak. She definitely had a run to go through and knew to a point that her friend had been waiting for her. The girl could only imagine what kind of chaos was happening in Kvasir and even more so in Baldr. This partially made the dwarf sweat a little for she did not want to encounter a pitiful but understandable sight.

Finally the city's gates were in sight as Strasza sprinted before noticing a Mountain wolf appeared running towards her as quick as it could. Her eyes went wide as she then nearly tripping began running faster. Not far now the girl once found herself engaged in battle but she didn't stop. In fact she didn't feel like fighting! Eventually reaching city grounds the npc's charged the wolf fending it off. The dwarf looked back sighing before wiping the sweat from her forehead. The girl never enjoyed fighting wolves with her character. Although she was powerful. If the girl wasn't accurate or fast enough, the wolf would have enough actions to rip destroy her. The girl placed her hands upon her knees catching her breath for a minute before inhaling.

"Time to go.."

Kvasir -
12:40

As Strasza walked towards the wave gate she noticed less people then normal but from those that remained she noticed they were devastated talking with friends about the patch which she would soon be doing herself when she managed to get to Baldr. People found themselves crowded near inns and in alley ways. Time to time she'd hear about an announcement for "KoB" that was placed twenty minutes ago. It didn't matter too much to her because she was sure she would hear about it from Silver. The girl expected as such from her friend however little did she know there would be an unexpected delay which the dwarf did not know about.

As she came to Kvasir's square where the wave gate was located suddenly a human called out to her before walking up to her. The man in character looked like an older person. Gray hair moved back, glasses, and some wrinkles. He possibly stood to twice as tall as the dwarf being 6 ft. Strasza's eyebrow crooked before turning around noticing the person looking in his book as he spoke to her.

"hey… don't get me wrong when I say this and do not think this is a bad time for such chatter either but do you know the game's lore and what it is actually based on?" He asked.

"W-what…? Not completely I'm still figuring it out… Names seem very family but what do you want? I need to be off somewhere soon" Strasza replied.

"Well… you just seem like someone who held there composure a little better then most and I figured I'd ask you what you thought. Becoming trapped in this game so suddenly… this lore… these names. You know the game is based off of a fantasized version of Norse mythology. In game terms this is the world that the gods created themselves and there was a struggle for power. Ultimately, it is to our downfall that ragnarok is the combination of 8 keys granted by Donar. Would lore of the game dictate what we do beyond this point?" He asked. Strasza blinked before scratching her head and then shrugged.

"Listen, you were definitely right… It doesn't matter at this point. However I do support you on thinking as such, In fact if things are true you may very well be on to something" Strasza said turning before running to the wave gate. She didn't care to hear for his reply because the man had wasted too much of her time already. Immediately she rose her hand to the gate and spoke out. "Teleport - Baldr!". Immediately the girl turned before waving off as she was covered in a flash of light before disappearing. The man looked wide eyed before holding out his hand as if he wasn't done but that wouldn't stop Strasza. She had more things to do then idle chatter.

When the girl opened her eyes to Baldr, it had calmed down from when the patch had began but people were still in quite an edgy state. The woman placed her hand to her forehead before shaking her head. It was only expected of her when she heard the news but she didn't bother to go and comfort others. It was then when she began walking through the city to finally meet up with Silver.
