The boar exploded into the air and left behind nothing more than a shattering of shards in its wake. A reminder of what had been there, that quickly drifted to the ground and disappeared – a more stark reminder of how quickly this world moved on once your existence ended. Aoi focused on the display of loot that appeared before her, signifying the collection of materials that she would need in order to return to Richard’s shop. Well, that’s much faster. She let out a sigh of relief as the wind whipped around her, causing parts of the field to dance slightly. The nearby boar that had been

<<POST ACTION: TRAVEL BACK: ID: 244628 LD:19 One of the wheels pops off the wagon. As you rush to fix it, you hear the sound of something giggling and scampering towards you. You never see what it is as you get back on the road.

A solitary figure stood in front of the monument of life, hand outstretched, delicate fingers running over the names of the fallen. Every time Mari came here… she came face to face with her past, again, and again - the several names etched onto the monument forever a testament to her failings. She failed to protect them. She failed to find any sort of peaceful resolution, and in turn had burned down so many lives. Just like that burning fire; an orange crystal silently floated above her. Tinged with the colours of her sins. Alerting other players. This person is not

The chime came at an odd time. Abellio was just milling about when all hell suddenly broke loose. There were weird knights and people running around like chickens with their heads cut off. He'd not had the time to fully wrap his head around the situation when Oscar messaged him. Floor 29? The man did know that Abellio was like level 14 right? They weren't even that close! But he did know enough about the man to understand that he wouldn't be calling if it wasn't an absolute necessity. And the man had saved Abellio's hide more times than he could count. So there was zero hesitation. Abelli

It was endless. Whatever had been unleashed when Oscar had found the Boss Room quite literally had taken the combined efforts of the Frontlines to even pretend to keep under control. Those feelings he felt while hunting had, much to his horror, proven to be true. There was something here that wanted out. Oscar didn't have time to kick himself for not listening to his gut. Everything was surging towards the Teleport Platform. It was all he could do to help stem the tide. As he ripped his blade out of one of those strange knights, he heard a chime. He wiped his face with the back of his han

The last time he faced Kumatetsu, his partner had gotten scared and teleported out. He hadn't managed a single hit before he begrudgingly followed after her. This was fine, of course, because tracking a monster you've seen before was much easier than searching for it blindly. Before, he had trekked through the forest all night before he finally found the giant bear. This time, it didn't take long at all. "Just imagine it's an evil bear," he said, listening to his guildmate ramble. He liked bears too. It stood tall in the thicket, scratching against a colossal tree. Claw marks sc

Mike began his trek from the inner wards within the Town of Beginnings to just outside the walls, to the Plains. There, even a level one such as himself could find the courage to level up. The thought of facing an enemy used to stir knots inside of Mike's stomach. Now, something had changed. A determination brewed within him that seemed so fierce, not even a hurricane could slow him down. With not a second to waste on doubt, Mike shoved past through NPC and Players alike. Pausing for only moments, to ensure he was heading in the correct direction. The Town of Beginnings was extremely

"I thought that was you." Lilik smirked down at the blonde. "Or some version of you. Had to come see if you'd been turned into one of those zombie things." Lessa, to her credit, didn't begin steaming from her ears. She looked like she came damn close though. "What the hell are you doing out here?" If Lilik was annoyed by Lessa's outburst, she gave no indication. Instead, she simply tilted her head, her voice light and mocking. "Oh, it's fantastic to see you too, Lessa! I've been great, thanks for asking. It's been really great to-" "Will you shut up?" This, it seemed, was enough

From the wreckage, wings spread, he fell. Flames singed his skin, but he didn't feel a thing. Metal shrieked and splintered, raining on the city below. The wind drowned the screams. The sky burned. Not a star in sight. His lungs squeezed. Knives hailed upon him—sticking, stabbing, shredding. He couldn't breathe. A ball fell fast. He tracked it until he no longer could, and then back to the ship. Rumbling. Rumbling, and cracking, and splitting, and fire—so much fire. He dipped in and out. Flames, and then nothing. Flames, and then nothing. He remembered fireworks, arci

This happens when the two of us combine (the timebomb's ticking, so). Oh, send reinforcements 'cause we'll cross the line (have mercy on our souls). All she heard was the rain. She couldn't say for sure if that was the only sound. Somehow, she knew it couldn't be - she was standing in the middle of a forest, for heavens sake. No doubt, there were other noises, like the creaking of trees as they bowed to the strong gusts of wind. Or the crunch of the leaves beneath her boots with each step that she took, her long strides carrying her deeper into the woods. Or the scurrying of little

Though no music played, and the bar was missing the trademark hum of other patrons talking, the steady drumming of the rain had provided a soundtrack of sorts. Their gentle back-and-forth, hazy at the edges with the help of the alcohol, also blanketed H.P.'s in a serene stillness at odds with the horrors they'd experienced all day. It was comforting, a tiny oasis in a barren wasteland. Of course, Lessa shattered that stillness as she slammed her glass atop the bar with a crack reminiscent of gunfire. "Are you kidding me?" she howled, swiveling on her stool so that she faced him. Without w

Routine. This had been what kept Sable somewhat sane. After all, what else would you do when you were trapped in a place like this? Ever since high school he had gotten up first thing in the morning and ran. It was hell at first. Sure he was fast, but there's a difference between running in short bursts, and running. With time it became easier, and he could go farther and longer. Joining the track club had helped immensely. By the time he graduated it had become a habit. And now here he was, imprisoned in a virtual world, and he was still getting up at dawn to run. It was almost easi

It was clear that Freyd was total and utterly confused at the point. Maybe Sam didn't say the right words or give enough information, regardless the man seemed lost. Sam takes a slow deep breath before looking up at him. "Lium lied to me about what happened that day to our friends and him, then lied again about my friends hating me. Lium most likely did this to save me from myself because he knew what I would do if I knew the truth." Sam gestures to all the paper hanging and laying around on the floors and walls. "Remember what Raidou always says, it's better to be fully prepared for anyt

Was she simply trying to make him feel better about his colossal fuck-up? It had been her neck on the line, after all. Oscar didn't much think that he deserved such a sweet reaction after almost getting her killed. But neither would he reject the gesture. He'd rather deal with the guilt than her the rejection. So he played along, but his heart wasn't exactly in it. "I'm glad you did," Oscar said. "Except for that bit right at the end there, it was a very enjoyable day." Her resting her head against his chest came as a shock, but it was a nice surprise. He breathed out a laugh and shook h

Whatever white granules that the friend of Freyd had spilled all over the ground seemed to cause the reflective thing from moving very much. In fact, the thing seemed to be very confused. It attempted to march its way in one direction before stopping at a line of the substance, then turning to go another direction. Hanami tilted her head in confusion, trying to compute the information at hand. She felt droplets of rain begin to fall, large droplets splattering against the back of her head and onto the ground below. One large drop fell onto a bit of the powder, seemingly dissolving it before he

厌倦你浪潮般涨落地爱我 当作莫名靠岸惶惑地来过 再说了从未幻想过你爱我 天马行空都埋没 At lunch with Morningstar, five more levels dropped into Yue Hua's lap. She gobbled them up indiscriminately. Stomach full and the eldritch speed of her leveling politely unaddressed by her dining partner, Yue Hua thought of messaging her benefactor a string of question marks but remembered they would prefer not to be contacted where Morningstar can easily see their name on her mail window. Guild leader and tracker were soon back on track, traipsing through the woods of Floor 8 to

Beaten roads through the miasma left in a pungent thick film, yellow and trailing. The stuff would even cling to him but not penetrate the leather adorning his own body, yet it would reek until pulled into a chemical bath. A rough tug of his sleeve would pull the dense gloves up tightly into place, causing the stuff to screech as its pulled taught. Sam was left inside the stuff, having stuck her nose into a matter she was ill equipped to be perusing around in. A section of tinfoil for the raccoon to get its hand stuck in a box for. Another black haired catastrophe, how many was that now? Tappi

The Skyrat Raider chased him to the back of the hull, where the escape pods were located. He could see Nari at the far end, waiting for Star before she set off in her pod. A single one remained. The rest had been taken by the surviving crew members, and perhaps some of the pirates who wished not to go down with someone else's ship. Another explosion. The airship groaned, and Morningstar swore he heard a cracking sound from above. He spun, digging his blade through the final pirate's torso and watching as he crumbled to blue dust. Nari called for him to hurry, but before he could tak

note: Nari-Lanreth has exited the thread due to inactivity; I will solo from here on. The creaking of the ship signaled them to evacuate. Regardless, the pirates fought on. Morningstar swayed from one end of the room to the other, wobbling like a child learning to skate. Flames erupted from the room next door, led by an explosion that shook the hull. He shouted at Nari to go on ahead; he would catch up to her when he could. In the meantime, he stayed behind and fended off the Skyrat Raiders. Their attention was stuck to Nari-Lanreth until a wide sword art from Morningstar stole it aw
