Kiluia Seiko

She had been knowledgeable about him within the guild as he stood beside her for a moment. A slight smile crossed his face as the word Christmas party when they first met was mentioned. “It’s been quite some time since then. I wasn’t sure you would remember me. Quite frankly, if you aged, I think we wouldn’t of known about each other had we progressed. Yet here we are.” He looked her up and down. She looked exactly the same since they last met which would make it unnerving but he was also in the same predicament.

Ding.

The party noise popped up in front of him and with a quick motion, he swiped and accepted the request quickly to be a party member. “It’s just a fancy title for me to find things for the guild. I like to support them behind the scenes with materials and then go out to the front lines and knock some heads open.” He would smile slightly. It was a soft one but a smile none the less. “Seems you enjoy assault. I think I saw your name added recently.”
 

When they finished their small conversation, he listened to her conversation with the info broker. It was already hot enough and he was glad to have gotten that skill previously or he would be out of luck with the heat. With their list of enemies, he ingrained them in his mind making sure to ideally make a plan to counter. It wouldn’t be too hard but he always knew things could go wrong since Raidou always had a backup plan. He didn’t bring much as he expected this to be shorter. He would be better prepared for the next bout though.

Hand raised as he shook his head a bit motioning he was fine. “I’ll make sure to be ready for the next quest. I already questioned those people who completed this and it wasn’t too bad. I prefer to do research prior and then listen making sure there aren’t any inconsistencies.” He walked with her casually to their destination. “How have you been these past few years? I haven’t seen you in quite a bit so maybe we should catch up in the meantime.”

Lately, he found himself being messaged more frequently than usual from the guild. He had kept tabs on everyone for a time being until he gave up since Haine left. He stared at Freyd’s message before closing it. A slight sigh escaped his lips as he stood up from his chair in his shop. The lights were already off as he often just kept himself busy with baking. With that moment, he patted the penguin's head and sent her home. Amber eyes shifted to the gate and he selected the 27th floor. With a bright flash, he simply found himself surrounded by people who seemed to be going on with their daily lives without even bothering him. Strange NPC’s,he thought.

With that moment, he moved forward out of the teleport and headed to his destination with the map open. It had been quite some time since he stepped out into the world and this was all too new for him. Senses seemed to be overloaded with sensory data absorbing all of the new surroundings and how strange yet calm it felt. He continued south until he reached his destination of Freyd and the newcomer. One hand was removed from his pocket as he made a peace sign at the two. “Yo. Figured I’d check out this new place since ya brought it up.”

White hair settled and he brushed it from his eyes. “Ya look good Freyd… Names Kiluia or Kil for short.” He introduced himself to the other person.

Ping. Ping.

The alert notification went off as he lounged around at home. Having avoided his guildmates for some time, the alarm was from someone within the guild but he didn’t recognize them as a member. It was indeed a mystery at first until he read the message. He had a couple unopened ones but he noticed it was from someone he hadn’t spoken to in quite some time. When he was a rookie to say the least. Having sat up from his bed, he opened up the chat and started typing a message to her.

He had heard of the quest and all the details previously but never actually completed it. With a few motions of a button, he was fully dressed in his get up and he tightened the straps on his hands. Pingu was asleep on the floor as usual so he decided it was a good time for him not to bring the penguin this time. He stepped out of the house and was already on his way to the teleport gate. It wasn’t going to be a pleasant time as he disliked the heat. A bright light soon engulfed him and he was off to floor 9.

The heat struck him immediately as he entered the city. He sighed slightly and wondered who would make such a place. The devil? Body moved slowly through the area as he sought out his guildmate. The survival skill would work quite well as he passed through the surroundings only to catch a glimpse of Rebekah. She was still the same. He spoke to her as she seemed to be interrogating the broker. “Hey. Nice seein ya again”, he spoke to her as he neared her.

Shimmering light broke through the crack within the curtain shining down upon a slumbering man on the couch. Light snoring ceased as ocean eyes fluttered awake to the invading sunlight that pierced through the darkness within the abode. Across the way, a laying upside-down was spotted on the worn in padded chair. He took a deep breath and stretched staring at his surroundings. Empty. Void. If dust was such a thing in these houses, it would have been covered as he would just leave to go to work. He rustled his white hair and slipped open his menu to prepare his clothing for the day. With a mess of a few buttons, he was dressed and ready to go. The penguin was already up and ready to go as it was rolling to the door with its sword tucked away.

Right hand reached out opening the door and he spoke. “I’ll see y…” he paused a bit after getting that far. Habits. Some habits needed to be broken as he closed the door quietly shuffling away.

Long legs ran to the teleporter trying to get the penguin hyped up for the day. The squealing penguin fell behind as it always did, but always continued to struggle to keep up. With a flash, they were gone into the realm, the snow region floor 4. He took a deep breath letting that crisp cold air invade his lungs. He started recently to skip going to the first floor for shopping along with the second floor as well. After Haine left, he avoided those spots most often as she tended to be shopping looped around his arms. 

Quite snowfall continued as the slight crunch of snow under his feet barely audible was seen as he made way toward his café. Door opened up and the café lit up as he entered. The peppermint smell still invading his nose from the previous night activities and baked items still sat in the glass. His works of art sat in the case undisturbed as he pressed by them. Apron wrapped around his waist as he began baking. Billows of smoke escaped his chimney for the full effect of a workshop. Ideally, this was a fun thing to do to pass the time. He had locked himself within the café for quite a while since Haine. Any guild members that were trying to check on in him were swiftly dealt with an “everything is okay” or he’d turn off the lights and sat in the dark.

Several creations were made within several minutes such as parfaits, cakes, snacks, and other assorted sweets within the timeframe of the morning. The work kept him busy from doing anything irrational though today was different. Frame pressed against the counter as he looked down at list of people who were on his friends list. At least her name was still lit meaning she was alive. A deep breath was taken as he placed a message. “Want something sweet to eat?” was the content of the message but he stared at the recipient which remained empty.  He tapped on Lessa’s name and soon sent the message without another thought. Inviting anyone from the guild would have been awkward since they knew Haine as well. Lessa was the only other person he could think of he could speak with that wasn’t a part of the guild.

The penguin made a noise that startled him as it was behind him waiting for its breakfast. An apologetic smile was given as he placed a fish in front of it and patted its head. At least the penguin still enjoyed his company for the most part. With that, he turned and flipped his sign on to open and waited patiently for anyone to stop in to pick up anything. Future orders were already prepped away and waiting.

 “And?” He inquired about her words. It was nice to imagine what she was thinking. It gave him another side to view her. Women usually plotted their own weddings in most cultures, but they had to make due with what they had. Their lives had been connected prior and now it was connected here. Their lives connected with a variety of people within the SAO community, but none more than their guild. The family they grew into as it expanded quite fast.

“Having them see your ring is a good thing. It’ll make them wonder if they should bring it up in conversation. Though I would have to say that they already know we were bound to marry one day.” He looked over at her gaze and followed it toward the familiars. They had gone through a lot and many more years to go through. He offered his hand until actually taking her hand without a second thought. “I don’t think Raidou is gonna be one bit surprised…”

Watching the man guard him was always impeccable to watch. It was a wall that could stop many a foe and it was funny to watch the candid behavior. While the steel connected with the creature, a sliver of health but all remained for it. With a leap into the air and the distraction of Raidou, he curved his body mid air while the distraction occurred and both knees came dropping down onto the Wargs head.

It was over. The massive collective of crystals shattered into a brilliant light. Eyes of amber met with his friend and spoke. “That sounds nice. Maybe a few sandwiches or just couple of sweets to compliment the tea” He stood up and dusted off the remnants of dust and other things off his clothing before glancing around. This quest would be concluded for the duo. He cleared his throat before looking back at him. “Was there anything else about the quest we needed to conclude?” He was always a long just to fight and beat down as much as he could. The mentality of ask questions later was always the attitude he arrived and left with.

“To be fair, you’d be correct.” The outstanding tandem and rush of the duo caused heinous damage to the Warg. It was to the point where it could not even react to the onslaught of the attacks. While the energy was hot, his white aura took off against Raidou’s attack which managed to subdue the Warg with a stun. Advantage was increased more as he grappled the large husks and bring its snout into the right rising knee cap. It was a flush and clean attack.

He backed off immediately as he made it to a clear safe distance to Raidou. The onslaught would continue with the red wanderer up for his strikes. He always knew that he would have a good time with the man. It showed with their strikes and their short but candid conversations. “At this rate, we should make it back to the guild for some grub.” He spoke eyeing the hp of the beast falling well blow the limit to the red. It was just a matter of time.

The trio had run into the larger wargs. It was not as bad as he had thought as there were other players around them attempting to subdue the beasts as well. Good thing they all had green icons over their heads indicating that they had been players who had kept the status of no PK. His eyes glanced over at the other blue haired lass. It was already interesting enough that he knew who Ruri was but here she was just as snarky if not more.

He felt a bit safer for the most part as he watched the spectacle of others dancing around and fighting. Off in the distance, he saw a familiar red-haired samurai. If he were in trouble, he could at least ask for help for the most part. “Guess it isn’t too bad. Luck is on our side today.” He would not attempt to poke the blue bear just yet. Yet. He wanted to at least attempt to make peace if there was peace to be made.

“Go ahead. It shouldn’t be too hard with this many people around.” He spoke to the both of them.

The crackle of energy that the red wanderer displayed left nothing of the creature he had struck down remain. The words of Raidou speaking of finishing off Bane caused him to give a slight glint of a smile. Going off the spectacle of what he witnessed, he followed up with his leader and friend in arms against the massive warg. The rapid footsteps would lead straight to the snout of the warg as his fist slapped into the bridge of it. “Of course. Any day of the week!” He grinned slightly.

The sight of the duo fighting was refreshing and exhilarating. He was one of the rare few that the white haired wonder would trust his life with. To die was no option but it would be okay if he was in good company. Leg drifted slightly to the left and kicked back once more to his comrade. “Now that we have it all by its lonesome, it really doesn’t have much of a chance. “

The final bar of health was in sight. The tunnel at the end of the road was coming to them. He wanted to sigh in relief but, you should never count your chickens before they have hatched as they spoke in messages. They were all indeed tired. More tired than usual as he dashed off to the shadow. Mental fatigue or whatever they had incorporated sure took its toll on them here still. His hands were raised as pressed forward with energy. His eyes were still on the health bar trying to at least see the final edge of the fight.

His right hand clenched as he swung for the fences with this blow. His fist had overcompensated as he swung deep into that attack. While in mid motion, he corrected his footing and lunged with his left hand to correct the trajectory of his attack. He wasn’t going to allow himself to not get a hit on this sucker as it was time for them to finish this and go back to their lives before anything else happened. He was plotting to go home to where Haine and Asmura would be there to come back to even though his fiancée was right beside him. He corrected his footing once again to dash back with the group of people awaiting their strikes. 

Right back to you bud

IVORY GOLD LEAF RING>> (T1 DEMONIC TRINKET)

Time was starting to slow down. It was almost a dreadful type of slow as the onslaught of decrepit creatures continued to be summoned. Each time they were brought to their knees, more would come forth and introduce a whole new level of horror. As the horrors began to devour their way into the rest of the other party member groups, he kept his eyes trained upon their health and stats. It seemed that they had been inflicted with a DoT for each member. A frown slightly crossed his features as he noticed also that their tanks had been stunned.

A click of his tongue as it seemed when it rained it poured tremendously. He listened to the shadow. It seemed that its ego was unscathed, but its heath seemed to dwindle. It was something to latch onto with a tiny bit of hope. He took off again running at the shadow and ignoring everything else around him. It was painful not to assist the others, but he had to believe in his Captains orders.

Both legs dug deep into the ground before he finally reached the shadow. As it paid no mind to him personally, he hoped that it was annoying it perhaps. Hand extended again as he struck forward with all his might into the strike. When it connected, he took off once more avoiding any type of real danger if it were to come after him at least.

What a farce. Knowing full well that bosses were the test of will power and strength, the shadowlings being able to chain them down just added another moment to where he didn’t appreciate how desperate the game was readily made to kill them. The chains that wrapped up Raidou made him shudder a moment. The fact that they were entangling him and prohibiting the movements of the red wanderer caused him to have a slight flashback of when he was encased and prohibited too. But despite the shivers, it enraged him more that the one who he was indebted with was being held down.

Blood boiled as he spoke nothing but tearing across the ground reaching full speed in a mere moment to the shadow. His hand pulled back quickly and executed a textbook right palm strike into the shadows chest thrusting all his might into it.

“Don’t touch him.” He uttered softly at the shadow. His amber eyes glared into the shadows form. With a click of his tongue, he skipped away from the boss.

The relentless attacks ensued raining down upon the shadow. The issue he was having was that he noticed the bar of health wasn’t dropping as quickly as he thought it would with the amount of damage dealers in the crowd. If that wasn’t worrying, the next issue would be the shadowlings that spawned. Tougher ones that seemed to resemble the spiders he had dreamed of one time. As he reminisced about the horrifying creatures, the one he was looking at had vanished before his eyes. All the hair on his neck stood up as felt flush, the blood from his face rushing out of it immediately.

The breath of hot air that touched the back of his neck confirmed his suspicions of the creature and where it had made its way to. The sensation of the maw clamping down upon his neck gave the same reaction as if it would be like he had felt the intense pain. He winced and pulled away immediately. Hands rose up immediately to strike back the shadowling until the words of his Guild Master echoed to disengage. His amber eyes shot to Raidou as he clicked his tongue. As much as he wanted to pummel down the creature, he knew that the business with it would not be concluded unless the main shadow would be dispatched.

His foot pivoted and off he went in a straight dash toward the shadow who seemed to enjoy the fact had caused panic in him. His brows furrowed slightly as he seemed to evade all those around him and made way to the shadow in a direct lin. It wasn’t easy as he had been startled by the shadowling but it wasn’t enough for him to be unnerved. Hand pulled back and his fist touched the right cheek of the shadow connecting the sword skill All Might. The rocket punch cross checked the being in a harsh way. Pay back for what his minions did to him and it was a statement that he was not going to be shaken that easily.

Eyes of Amber looked over at his beloved nodding to her. “Knock him out!”

The quest was everything that was described by the broker.  The fisherman had seen better days and was perfectly depicted by the games system. Every NPC had their own unique style and it showed in the detail. Eyes of amber wound glance over the downtrodden lake. It seemed it hadn’t seen business with the rampaging fish taking over the aqua life. “We will do what we can.” He spoke to him. The business concluded with him agreeing to the terms of the salamander. This was something he dreaded ever since this whole thing was discovered, but the quest had to be done.

He moved over to Haine and whispered in her ear. “Ready?” As she seemed spaced out looking at the lake. The forest wasn’t too far from the area as he moved to it. Once they would get there, the chase was on to find the salamander and then to catch the damn thing. He groaned slightly before looking back at her. “The memories frighten me.”

Eyes would glance over the fisherman and the area that was needed to fish out the monster. Their footsteps shuffled toward the fisherman’s hut and he cleared his throat. The NPC was clearly preoccupied with their daily routine. He found it strange that the area seemed more deserted than usual. At least they didn’t have many others to compete with. “I’ll do what I can.” He looked over to Haine before speaking to the NPC.

“Excuse me sir?” His voice was soft as to not cause the man distress. The man had deep coal eyes as he spoke to him. “Can I assist you?” The rugged man’s voice was low and raspy. He clearly eyed them up and down with his one eye. It seemed the NPC had seen better days.

“Yes. The two of us would like to undertake the fishing quest. Dispatching the King of Fish.” He looked over at Haine. “Mind if undertake this quest?” The quest was immediately flagged as soon as he asked about it. His eyes flashed at the icon coming up and the acceptance was keyed in. “Pretty quick.” He noted as he stretched.

Before he could react to the situation, the other blue haired wonder already dashed off to the herd. While moving up the chain of command of fighting, he wanted to be sure that they were able to continue with their mechanics of being an all-rounder team. They had been successful in some situations and others they faltered. This seemed like it was going to falter as the herd was a larger pack and they had to pull out one from the group before it had alerted the rest of the monsters.

A grunt was given as he took off running without another thought. The fact that anything could happen would entirely be left up to the gamer gods.  “Be aware of the surroundings! We should talk about traps and luring!” He was trying desperately to shout over the running and stumbling.

The larger wargs came into view and he was anxious. They were a popular monster to target because their drop items were better, and they sold for a higher price. “Look out for others trying to take them out too!” The three of them could intimidate anyone but it was a bluff at this level.

A month had passed since the initial announcement of the game being misled to becoming a horror movie brought to life. He had met a few adventurers that seemed interesting. A particular one named Miku had stuck beside him. She had been helpful a handful of times and was able to keep up with him. But it was not the same. Not even close when she was around. Haine made it feel like the game was just a game to him and the stress melted away. Perhaps it was because she was new? Or maybe she needed some of his guidance. Whatever the case may be, she was with him most of the time.

Today’s destination was outside floor 1. The wargs were just their starter type til they were able to master the fluid of battle. Between Ruri, Haine, and him, the monsters were cake walk until they ran into the greater wargs. They were slightly bigger in size and a bit more on the heavy hitter.

He was standing there gazing upon the dynamic sisters. They hadn’t agreed to proceed with fighting these monsters, so a consensus was needed among the group to either go or not. “I don’t think we are suitable to fight something that we know nothing of yet. I think taking on one would be dangerous as I think they travel in packs. It’s not like I’m scared of them but more cautious.” He glanced at Ruri and Haine. He didn’t know what they thought of the matter and would at least listen to his reasoning before taking a chance. After all, all three were still greenhorns.

He side-glanced her as they moved on. His eyes squinted slightly as they headed toward the base of the mountain that was needed to proceed to the next stage. That part would be easy for the most part. Contact with the fisherman was already in progress. Breeze passed by caressing their skin as they made the trek across the terrain. It was as beautiful as he remembered it as they had been here not too long ago. The cabins were still for rent per usual, but he would have to take her here again.

“A little crazy? It does serve its purpose though…” He thought as he had taken a hiatus from the bakery for a bit. He would soon return and use those items to continue his merry way in making food once more. “Well, the details are pretty straight forward. But they kinda remind me when we had to get our familiar.” There was still trauma from him for doing those things that landed him not just a familiar but a child as well. “Once we flag the quest soon, we have to head over to catch a red salamander. We only have a limited amount of time to catch him before he disappears, and we start over again.” A light sigh escaped his lips.

“Then you come in with your amazing fishing skills so we can smash it into next year. Sound good?”
