Pick sighed, it was yet another normal day where there wasn't much to do. He was here, like usual, walking the safe zones to see if there were anything to eat. At this point, he had so much materials that it doesn't even matter what he spent it on. He could go buy the best things in Aincrad with the materials that he had... at least all the tier one items, and he would still have some left, and even so, he can use some of those materials to help him out with the material gathering - like the LD bonuses. Pick sighed, one of these days, he would have to get a familiar to help him scout and do damage, but he had no idea how to get one, as the no one seemed to have information, being that the quest was a rare one. It seemed to just show up for some people.

Pick sat down on a park bench and that was when a small old female walked up to him. Pick watched the woman walk slowly, using the cane as support for her weak legs that had worn out from age. She was elderly, and Pick could see that, so he would show his respect by standing up and allowing the woman to sit down on the bench to rest. Pick smiled in greetings before taking a few steps to leave the area. He would find another bench to sit on - after all, he was a young man and always full of energy, so it was only right that he gave the seat to the old woman. Although he had never been taught by anyone to respect your elders, he had observed from the rich that doing so was just another display of showing your class and gentlemanly traits. Pick snickered.

Before Pick had the chance to escape the area and leave the place, the woman began to say something. It was a faint sound since her vocal chords were weakening as each year went by. Of course, she would never die since no one dies from age in this game, and Pick could tell that she was an NPC as well. Still, Pick couldn't help but feel pity from the life that the woman had to live through. He hoped that once he got that old, someone could just end his life, but right now, he was perfectly fine being alive. Pick turned around, listening to the slow words of the woman who had begun to speak. His ears shook as he realized that the woman was currently giving information that he needed for a familiar. Indeed! He had been chosen! The NPC had chosen him to be the next to obtain a familiar!

Pick waited. The woman was beginning to speak, and even when mouths poured out from her mouth, she was speaking with utmost snail-like pace, and Pick was not the type to listen patiently to these things. Of course, he was definitely not the person to simply walk away from an old woman impolitely and pass off on getting himself a cool little familiar. Pick wanted an owl, and an owl would be what he would get, of course, he was sure of it. Finally, her words began to make some sense to Pick's ears.

"Greetings, young player," She coughed, "If you feed a monster, you may have the chance of taming it. Of course, these monsters are extremely rare and very difficult to tame, however, if you manage to do so, they will help you greatly in your adventuring needs depending on the ability that they have." The woman finished.

Pick nodded at the words of wisdom that had come from the old gypsy's mouth. Of course, Pick had known that this would be what he needed to do since the very beginning, as it was a widely taken quest and he had quite the information in his supply. Pick grinned, anticipating, and finally watching as the quest acceptance icon popped up in front of him. Pick sighed, clicking the accept button, the blue button lit up, becoming light blue before disappearing with the rest of the screen that had popped up.

"Very well. Brilliant from you, indeed." The old woman finished, standing up and walking away. "Good luck," He heard her say, and that would be the last time that he ever sees her. She would be busy dealing with other players who have yet to obtain a familiar, but it was his turn now, and an owl he comes for.

Now was a brilliant opportunity to pull out that cloak he would use as a method of testing out his new identity. Of course, he had always been like this, but it was time to let his dark side out. He needed to find the owl, and owls only appear during the night. They are creatures of the night time, just like Pick at times. Pick would head to the restaurant nearby to get some dinner in before he heads out at night, after getting the dinner, however, he would probably take a nap - at least he hoped. With a nap, he would have plenty of energy to do everything that he needed to do, including getting that familiar out the way, but also getting him or her used to the strange tastes and personality of Pick. Pick sighed, walking to the nearest restaurant that seemed to specialize in pizza.

Pick did not order as much as he would usually, because he had other things that he needed to consume as well. Pick had some things that would help him with getting this familiar, as he was well aware that the quest was not a very easy one to complete. Now, Pick would have to get the quest done in short time as he did not want to risk getting his identity exposed through the mask as he waits outside of the safe zone. Although he came out as an anonymous identity at night, he still doesn't like the night that much. It was just that it is crucial for him to do anything to get this quest done as easy as possible. Pick sighed, ordering a pepperoni pizza and beginning to feast on it. It didn't take that long before the half pizza was finished, and he was done with dinner.

Pick had gone back to take a nap, and soon he woke up and the day had already turned into darkness. Before he had finished up the afternoon, he managed to go grab some bugs in a jar that would be required to help him with getting the owl tamed. Of course, he had some items to consume as well, and he would consume all of that now that he had prepared for everything else. Double checking everything once again just to make sure that he had every thing he needed before exiting for the night. Getting out his cake and getting a familiar calling song ready to listen, he made sure to get everything sorted and prepared. Soon, he exited the safe zone and into the wilderness of the first floor. It wouldn't be that long before he would spot an owl, but before then, he might as well take advantage and get some materials.

Pick looked around... it appeared that the day was not yet completely over, and the owls have yet to come out. The sun set was far, and it was about the be over - the day that is. Of course, the quest would take a while if he doesn't manage to get the familiar on his first try, and in order to get the owl on his first attempt of taming one, he calculated that the chances of him doing so would be approximately fifty percent after all the boosts that he gave to his luck. Perhaps he even needed more than that, maybe about 40% at the current moment. Still, Pick was the king of luck, and it would take a lot of beating down for him to lose confidence in the thing that he takes pride the most - his luck and material gathering. Although there were none near, he'll keep on going.

Pick, right then, saw a patch of grass that he could grab and uproot from the ground as materials. He did not know how it works - that grass could be used as materials, but you don't see him complaining at all. He never expected to be gathering materials at this time of the day, in the costume that he was wearing as well. He sighed, watching the materials pop up in his inventory. He smiled inside the mask, looking at the sky as he noticed that the sun was still in the same position at the same place of the sky. He would have to continue to gather materials as well until the time came when the owls would flourish the floors. Not only did Pick want an owl, he wanted the best owl - the best owl on this floor, and he knew that with his luck, he could get it.

When you are as lucky as Pick, sometimes materials literally come looking for you. Although this is not actually the case, it may seem like it when Pick is attempting to gather materials. With one smooth swipe, he was able to get a few fire flies into his inventory the moment that he spotted them. Actually, he didn't even expect them to be like that - he didn't expect them to count as materials, but when the path was suddenly iit up for him, he grabbed forwards with his prime instincts, adding to his collection of materials as the fire flies popped up in his inventory and also adding to his material count as he continued for the night. He had yet to spot any owls as it was not late enough for them to come out and hunt for the night. While they were hunting though, Pick would be their hunter.

Pick looked left and saw a blunt axe laying on the ground. Normally, he wouldn't have been able to see it in the dark but today was an exception. Today, he was definitely able to see exactly what was there - the fire flies lit them up, after all, and the searching skill he had today was exceptional. He picked up the axe slowly, wondering what to do with it before suddenly, through instincts, smashed it against the tree that it had been laying next to. Whoever left the axe here was probably doing the same thing before he left it and moved away. Whoever had left it here was probably in a huge rush though, since why leave it on the ground if you can just pick it up and put it in your inventory in like a second. He or she must have been in grave danger for him to escape like this.

Pick had saw that two wooden pieces came out of the tree and into his inventory. He was glad, because he had seen Sure do the same thing not that long ago, and his efforts were practically wasted as he did it. Perhaps it was just that he was unlucky and had been unable to gather any materials from chopping at the tree with an axe, but Pick showed him a better way to gather materials. Now, the two players were swithced, and Pick was chopping the tree instead of Sure, while Sure was doing whatever the heck he was doing - it didn't particularly matter to him. It was just the fact that Pick hadn't seen the man in a long time so he was feeling a tiny bit of memories rush back at him from that one particular day that the two had spent together. Shaking his head, he swung.

Continuing on with the same tree, he picked up his axe and began to take a wind up. Without thinking too much about it, he tore at it as hard as possible only for the axe to simply make a dent in the tree. Pick wasn't the strongest individual, and his figure was slim as well, so he really couldn't bring the whole tree down for all that materials that could be hidden within. However, Pick could manage to chop the tree just a little bit and get some materials out of it. Although his material gathering won't be as productive as a muscle man dealing damage to the tree, it wasn't bad at all and he hoped that he could manage to gather some more materials before the night ends and that he would be able to gather a familiar a well. Or rather, tame a familiar in better words.

The time was close. The night time had fallen, but it wasn't that dark outside, so owls would be rare. Pick walked up to a tree and that was when he saw it - a small owl with gray feathers. It wasn't what he wanted - he wanted brown feathers, perhaps even black if that was possible. He wanted something that would blend more with the trees during the night when he's out doing whatever he was doing. of course, he couldn't be too picky but the color was just off, and he would pass up on the owl. He wouldn't kill it - the creatures of the night were creatures that fit in with him. They were practically his friends at night, and they could prove to be useful at times. In fact, if he managed to tame the king or queen of the owls, he'll have a huge resource at hand.

Pick felt really sad that he hadn't been able to get a familiar yet, but he had to be patient. In order to get a good familiar, he must wait until it was the right one, the best one to be completely frank, and then he would approach it to pick it up. Sure, it won't be easy - familiars were rare after all, but an owl is crucial to him, as they were birds of the night. They could scout for him, and if he manages to find a way to communicate with him or her, Pick will be able to get a lot more information on his surroundings, which could be extremely useful when he is out to get riches or materials from unsuspecting players. Of course, he can't simply steal them, but he must find a method of robbing players through fear. Pick sighed, beginning to walk away from the tree.

Pick had managed to gather basically all the wood that he could manage to pick up from that exact tree, but he wanted more to be honest. He wanted a different type of material in order to increase the diversity in his inventory, so he decided to stroll around for a bit, keeping his eyes on both materials and an owl if one pops up. They were rare - at least, the ones that could actually help him. He was looking for a specific owl after all - one that he had seen a long time ago. Pick smirked underneath the mask - with an owl, he was unstoppable, and there was no denying it. Finally, he managed to spot something in the distance. It wasn't anything special, just some apples on the ground that he picked up. He was getting kind of bored of these apples - surely there were more types of materials.

Pick was looking out for more materials, and would've probably gotten some had he not been distracted by a shooting star that seemed to come out of no where. It was a beautiful thing, a ball with white trailing off it like some sort of mystical fire that had arrived from space. He remembered all those stories about how shooting stars could be used as a wish, and about how shooting stars could bring unimaginable things to the world. All those stories weren't necessarily lies, but they were practically made up. One day, though, he wouldn't be surprised if some of those stories came into reality. Pick smiled, what a foolish thing to think, right? But that's how it is. Stories were based off of some sort of human experience that someone has experienced once or twice in their life time. One person's experiences could be another's story, and that's it.

Pick sat down on the ground, taking a break for a few moments. It could turn out to be a long night since he hadn't seen an owl for a while. He thought these owls were a lot less rare than they actually were, and Pick didn't like that, however, with the night sky to accompany him and the quiet atmosphere, he found himself a peace when he stared up into the white moonlight that seemed to be talking to him when it shined its white rays upon his figure, lighting up both him and the grass around him. It was as if the moon was telling him that he was a special one - the one that fulfill a prophecy. He would take over this world, and then make it a better place, somehow, and then defeat the final boss with his axe in the front lines or something like that.

As Pick was imagining his future and the promises that he had made to both himself and some of the other players in the game, he felt a slight sense of nostalgia. It was unusual, that he would get lost in is own dreams like that, but there were no players around, no monsters, and it was just completely quiet except for those bugs that chirped in the moonlight, communicating and singing with one another. Fire flies flew in the air, and Pick could swing his arms at any moment to take them as materials, but they were actually more helpful than materials out here because they lit up the way for Pick to more effectively get materials. It was a good mutual relationship between him and the wildlife on this floor. Pick smiled, standing up once again and checking around to see if there were anything. Unfortunately, there were none.
