Setting
Nobody seems to be exiting for now, wonder if they even want to, or can...
Wait, who is that, someone I know maybe?
No, couldn't be, I was the only Raven online, I shouldn't be so hopeful. I wonder if I could get her to party...
The hell am I saying, shit just got real, anyone without experience will only hold me back, best not get involved with the general population until I get to a higher level. Still, who am I to say she's inexperienced, maybe she really is hardcore...
Hell, he half expected the built in audio and visual translation software, the program that translated every piece of writing and sound from the games default Japanese to his naive English, to be disabled. Alas, as much as it seemed that...well, he could never remember his name (he had taken to calling him "GeneralMcFuckFace") had wanted to make this game a living hell for him and the other 10,000 players, he at least wanted them to understand each other.
So, after the announcement, he took one looked around and spoke a few words. "I recommend, and this is coming from "The Black Centurion", that you party up to stay alive" with that, he turned, drew his Gladius, and walked out in to the now dark wilderness.
"That announcement probably has something to do with this. Miyumi came up with the only explanation she could think of. Because the thought of the admin locking them inside this game because the admin wouldn't do that, right?
Miyumi looked at the players around her, some were still staring up at the place where the admin would've been, others seem to have a blank look on their face while staring up into the virtual skies and some people were crying and even had looks of horror and shock on their faces. Miyumi wasnt getting any of this at all. Was the admin going to die soon and leave them trapped in this game? Nah, that sounds too illogical and too irresponsible of him. He wouldn't do such a thing Miyumi thought to herself.
Well, while she was sitting here wondering why everything and everyone are reacting the way are, she might as well go grind or something and maybe as a passing player a few questions for some much needed answers.
How ever, the dire wolf still represented a fight. Drawing his dagger, he shoved it in to the side of the dire wolves neck and heaved it off of him. he sprung up and drew his Gladius. "Come one you over grown poodle!" he charged the beast and it leaped towards him. Bringing the Gladius down, he sliced the beast in half, but he was not with out his own wounds. His HP was below 50 and his armor was in tatters. He sighed and picked up the 300 kol and the wolf pelt.
He just hast to gt to Talbanna or what ever the hell it was called.
As he was walking his way to Tolbana, he had come across an NPC trader who was under attack. After dispatching the boars and wolves, the trader offered a unique level 5 set of heavy armor for him. To his complete surprise, he was able to customize the look of the armor set,which came with helmet and boots. Smiling as he did so, he paced through the options before coming to what he believed to be the closest to Roman Legion armor, complete with Centurion helm, and topped it off with a black color set as well.
To his dismay, being only a level 4, he could not equip the new armor, but the vendor would let him carry it with him. So fast forward 20 minuets, and Desius was looking for one last Dire wolf to bridge the 14 XP needed for level 5.
One could only imagine his surprise when he came across a seemingly random girl sitting there in the middle of the field. He couldn't say what drew him to her, but seeing her like that tugged at his heart strings. He began to walk to her when he spotted the dire wolf sneaking up on her. Drawing his Gladius, he leaped forward just as the wolf pounced on the girl....
.....and blocking it with his shield. Pushing back on the shield, he threw the beast off and sliced down with his sword. the beast took the hit and staggered back. Desius took this moment to slice at the wolf again, draining its HP to 0 and killing it. picking up the 15 xp, 100 Kol, and dire wolf pelt. He would sheath his Gladius and turn tot he girl. "You know, you really should get your detection skill up higher, saw him from 30 feet away." as he said this, he was swiping in to this menu and tapped on the icon for his new armor set. He couldn't help but smile as the set of black centurion armor materialized around him.
Desius was pissed. Again. He had stayed in Tolo...talobana....what ever the hell is was called, just long enough to spend the night.
He had missed all of the quests..which he really didn't care about. Glory through trial by combat awaited him, and the mobs were not worth the time.
So this is how our dear Roman ended up getting ambushed by a pack of level 7 wolves. He was too skilled for them to take him 1v1, but they had numbers and he had only him self. The sounds of snarling wolves and a single, roaring voice could be heard from a fair distance away.
If god, if there was one, decided to send help, now would be it. His health was down to 34% and dropped with each attack. His shield was so badly degraded he had un-equipped it and and been fighting them off with his Gladius alone. His helmet had also been torn off, and lay just out of reach.
which he needed. Badly. He poped them both open and downed them in a few gulps. What struck him was Her .
Seeing his HP start to rise from the 30% he was at felt good. Readying his sword, he spoke, "Many thanks, who ever you are.." Taking stock of their situation as the wolves recovered from the kickback of her ability, he spoke again, "You take the three in front, Il take the three behind"
Not really waiting for her to answer, he leaped out and brought his sword down on the wolf. It hit as a critical and the wold derezzed in to light. turning to the next wolf, he sliced twice at it as it attacked him, scoring a hit that took off 12% of his HP.
The last wolf pounced on him as he turned. Knocking him to the ground and making Desius drop his sword. Bearing keeping it at bay with one arm, he reached and drew his dagger. Stabbing it multiple times int he neck and head, the beast finally died and derezzed.
He jumped up and picked up his blade. Turning back to her...
