Reytac

Reytac knew he could call it here, and head inside and back to the alchemist. He had put in his good faith effort on finding the materials that the alchemist had requested, and had even managed to find one. So at the very least he wasn't coming back empty handed. But he felt like that was not good enough, that there was more he could do. And so even as the sun started to dip downwards, he kept searching, hunting for any more of the materials that he could use for the quest. At this point he didn't even know that he was looking in the right place for these things, for all he knew t

Reytac sat back and dusted off his hands, looking around as he did so. Finding the herb had been a stroke of good fortune, and he wanted to see if he could manage to find another. But he doubted it would be close by, if he could find another one, since that'd be too easy. It wasn't like he had stumbled on a field of herbs to just harvest a node or something, and he doubted it even worked like that in this game. He shook himself and stood up then started walking through the grasses again, using his hands to push the brush out of his way as he went. The entire time his eyes were pee

Debating on whether or not to accept the odd invitation that had gone out had taken Reytac nearly an hour to decide on. Getting some beach shorts and a loose shirt had been easier, if drawing odd looks from the vendors on the first floor where he still spent most of his time. But even that hasn't been what took the most time - no, that had been tracking down and getting two things to bring to the broil. It might have been a while since he went to a party like this, but he hadn't forgotten what it was like to go there. And since he wasn't directly invited - he'd been in more of a general '

The sun was beating down on Reytac and the world around him, filling his nose with the scent of sunbaked soil as he moved through the fields around the wall of the Town of Beginnings. Once upon a time the thought of having a vr game be so realistic that he could feel the heat of the sun had excited Reytac, the advancements in gaming technology luring him in like a moth to a flame. But that was before it became a new life to him, one where he didn't have sun screen or ac. Where he couldn't log out. He wiped the sleeve of one arm against his face, catching the salty droplets of swea

Getting out into the fields where some of the materials might be found didn't take Reytac long - getting past the gate guards was a simple matter, checking his player tag to make sure he wasn't wanted for anything, and then he was out, into the wilderness near town. But this was where he got concerned. While he had joined the game to get used to it before his wife joined, he hadn't actually finished getting everything ready before things turned sour. And he had no gear on him, at all - just the starter clothes that everyone had. Which meant that fighting anything right now would be an absolute

Getting to Zackariah's shop was more of an ordeal than Reytac had expected. The shop he had passed earlier was not the one he wanted - it had belonged to one of the man's former apprentices, who only half-remembered where his teacher was working now. But Reytac had eventually managed to find it, after two false starts, and he felt a slight headache behind his eyes that faded as a faintly sweet scent hit his nose. The store was filled with shelves with brightly colored jars, holding unguents and pastes all over. He paused, fascinated, looking over them as he stared around. The place was a bit j

Reytac ran his fingers through his hair, pushing some of the sweat-damp locks away from his face as he looked around. It was a bit surprising to him, even now, how many people were walking around the Town of Beginning. It seemed a lot of people still used it as a place to come back to, not to mention all the people who were like he had been until recently - lost, directionless. His jaw tightened as he shook his head, teeth grinding against each other for a moment. It would be all too easy to slip back into that hopelessness - to let that dark pit of despair wrap around him and pul
