Asen

After Asen toggled on his Hiding & Moving Silently skill his stealth was unseen by the monsters that dwelled in the dungeon, as he was able to run past them without them even looking much at his direction. Although there was a group of Treants blocking the way as they were all bunched up. That wasn't to Asen as without stopping he jumps to the side at the wall where he plants his foot on the wooden wall that quickly leapt again the moment his foot touched the wall which sent him soaring over the treants over to the next wall. He pretty much repeated the same process until he finally reached the end of them was when he purposely slid down on the wall to the ground as he continues on running.

When he finally officially gets down to the Third Floor he doesn't waste time to make his way through the tree walkways around the safe zones and such just to get to the dungeon that finally leads to the Second Floor. There really isn't any monsters on this floor except for one area but he's not planning on wasting time to go there. Plus he crossed this floor a bunch of times, guess that happens when it comes to wandering from floor to floor all the time.

Meanwhile out in the fields of the hunting grounds sitting on the grassbed was a young man who wore an all black mixture suit of leather and cloth. The only skin exposed is the sides of his temples and his crimson red eyes as he has his hood up as well as the cloth mask covering most of his face. Gnawing like a savage beast was an angered wolf as it tries tearing into Asen's armor. Unfortunately it seems to be doing nothing to him, literally his health isn't even moving as the wolf has a chunk of Asen's forearm in its mouth. Asen wasn't worried at all as these beasts can't hurt him out here. In a way he was pretty much invincible out here in this floor, not because that he's such a high level though. Then as if things couldn't have gotten more annoying, two more wolves charges at him. He let's out a sigh. "Man, can't get a peaceful day out here today huh?"

With a flash of onyx black steel that has a neon orange edge, the wolf gnawing on his forearm suddenly split into two right down in the middle before it shattered into pieces. Gripped in his hand was a curved sword of a scimitar who's blade was as dark as the night with a neon orange edge. Before Asen could blink one of the wolves that charged at him snapped its jaw on his throat. His health bar only went down by a speck before his healing kicked in.

This golem was simply pitiful as it raised its arm to come crashing down onto him. Only that didn't happen as Asen evaded it by taking a step forward and spin around the arm with his sword lashing out slicing him once on the arm and the second time was when he stopped as he had rammed his sword straight into its heart. He watched it shattered into multiple pieces of data fragments as it indicated that he won the fight. A shiver ran down his spine as he couldn't help but feel that something was afoot. Nonetheless he had to hurry up as he sprinted to where he found the mouth that leads to the Third Floor and quickly takes it.

That's where Asen made a huge mistake as he accidentally misjudged the direction that one of the Golem's direction as it suddenly changed course on him. It made an attempt to slam it's icy structure into him however he lucked out big time as he jumped over the Golem as it winds up slamming into the other one. However Asen winds up losing his balance as he fails to land on his feet and winds up laying on his back. It didn't hurt him but the impact knocked the wind out of him as he slowly rolled over to his hands and feet.

Asen's Health: 45/45

That was something Asen definitely could agree with about it's nice to have company. But once again he's quickly and painfully reminded the faces of his friends that died. All of them flashing in his mind almost in an instant as if playing a movie through that one horrible day. That was enough to cause him to wince as he placed his hand over his left eye as if trying to suppress those memories as he's been haunted by them for a year now. "Fine call me NightShade, it's my former name anyways so I doubt anyone aside from my two siblings would remember." He made it sound like he gave into submission even though she wasn't really pressing on the matter. It was just for him to brush away those memories for another time honestly, but at least he told her his former name even though its not his present name.

"Taking a swim huh?" Come to think of it if one wants to get somewhere comfy and enjoy something it would be unlikely that anyone would tread through such as the desert unless one really wants to. So in all technicality Zahra had the right idea here as she would be somewhat safe out here. It was mainly Asen's crazy mind that drove him out here in the first place due to that fact, and it kind of gave him a little more respect for Zahra. 'Do I dare let my mind go?' He thought to himself as his eyes looks from side to side a bit. "I honestly can't remember the last time that I've actually been swimming." That was a bluff of course as he does remember the times when he swam with Yukari and all of his friends both in SAO and in the real world. Still he swipes open his menu and puts back his sword in his inventory and takes off his shirt and sandals before he gets up only to sink into the water up to his chin. He still kept his distance from Zahra mainly staying at the edge of the water as he closed his eyes and smiled warmly as he remembered the good times. In a sense he's like an old man, and really he does feel like an empty shell as his heart felt like it's been smashed so many times that its irreparable. Though he does his best to feel, he still bears a huge guilt that was at first that started a year ago overwhelming. Now he's pretty calm as he tries to focus on the good memories and sinks his head below the surface to hide the unexpected tears swelling up in his eyes.

Then he couldn't help but grin as he comes back over the surface and with a wave of his hand sends a weak splash that doesn't reach her as it stops short maybe a foot or so away from her. "So what did you do when you were in Egypt?" He asked her more cheerful now as he was trying to think of something else besides his scarred past. Plus he was curious about how she grew up and more interested about her time in Egypt.

"It's actually pretty easy, all you have to do is keep note of your surrroundings and use whatever you can to your advantage. I mean it would be kind of pointless if I was to just tell you I suppose. Here let me show you." Asen tucks his hand back in his pocket as he approached the boar and wolf who soon looks up at him approaching them. "Using the sword is easy as all you have to do is either stick them with the pointy end or hack and slash at them. However that's not where the Swordsmanship lies. Sure having a sword is a recommendation for being a swordsman, but it'll be like putting a cart before the horse and expect it to know what to do when it has no training or idea at all. The main goal in this game is to stay on your toes and do your best on not getting hit at least that's in my opinion. For example."

Asen doesn't draw his sword or the like as the boar goes to charge at Asen only to strike nothing but the air as Asen spins around it entirely. The boar tries to stop but with it's built up momentum it winds up toppling over its front legs and flips forward. With the boar lost its balance, the wolf snarls at Asen who still seemed way too calm as he knows their damage and how these things fight. Even if they did hit him thanks to his skill in armor they couldn't hurt him let alone hope to do just one point of damage. "As long as you stay on your toes you can evade and counter in many ways, at least that's how I view fighting in my eyes."

Asen raised his brow when Shulk asked where the cuties at. To be honest he would've suggested Mari but she would more likely just get annoyed by Shulk. So he simply kept his mouth shut on that subject. When Asen heard that Shulk asked him if Asen could help Shulk raise a few levels and get the hang on fighting Asen didn't see anything wrong with that. "I suppose I could spare some time, though I wouldn't suggest fighting players just yet if you're just starting out. Something like that thing over there would be more up in your level." Asen takes his hand out from his pocket to use a stinger of sorts that's being held like a pen almost at the boar not far from them accompanied by a pair of wolves. "What kind of weapon do you use?" 

A faint smile crept on Asen's face though it was hidden underneath the mask. It's not that he hasn't tried to change, for if he hasn't then he wouldn't have tried to join a guild in the first place. Instead he's pretty much just bidding time until he's called up once again. Though it's not really much of a guild anymore since there's really only three of them if one of them hadn't left yet. But even on that low amount they still managed to participate in Monthly bosses and Floor Bosses. Granted Asen hasn't done any Floor Bosses since he helped Shark and a few other people out on taking the Fourth Floor dragon down. After that was when Asen disappeared in the shadows and left the Knights of Christ to do what he thought he was best at.

"I'm well aware of that, as for my guild that is something I cannot discuss either other than i'm currently on break per say until I've been called on." He stated bluntly once more though his smile never faded despite how faint it was. "But... I suppose I should say thank you for the lecture anyways." That was probably the closest thing to the part that sounds human at least as Asen could ever show to Shulk. Still at least the man said thank you even though he does dismiss the fact on how the guy's personality changed.

This guy talked a lot for someone who is near a player killer which is like signaling a red flag that he could easily slice the man in half without batting an eye really. Thankfully though Asen is the patient guy and to boot another good trait is that he doesn't kill for no legit reason. Though Asen here gazed at Shulk's excited face and his ears listened to the excitement in Shulk's tone. It makes Asen wonder if this guy was one of those people who just talks a lot or if this guy just doesn't get company very often. Seeing as this guy was still a green player one would think this guy would be in a group already. If not then either this guy just gets with the wrong people or does some other act that'll drive him out from the groups.

"I'm afraid I can't give that information to you, its just business. Nothing personal." Asen stated rather bluntly when Shulk asked for his name, it's not that he's worried that Shulk would attack him which would be rather asking for a death wish. It's also the fact that the mere mention of his name anywhere would only attract hunters that's after his head since the price is ridiculously large. "Plans?" He looked a bit confused as he just wanted to beat this game. Though he never really gave it much of a thought so he shrugged his shoulders. "I suppose wherever the wind carries me i'll go. If it takes me up to the 100th Floor and complete it then I won't have a problem with that. This game already has been one hell of a nightmare in more ways than one."

Why on earth was Asen even wandering around the First Floor one might ask? Well it's where the monsters there simply don't even bother with he toggles on his Hiding Skill making him seeming to be invisible to the monsters as he was simply walking past them. Asen wore his armor of course as he had his hood down though his cloth still masked the bottom half of his face revealing only his crimson red eyes and his silvery white hair. Plus who knows? He might be lucky enough to find a Mat somewhere around here.

His casually blank face turned into a questionable frown when he was asked by a strange player who simply stated a question on "Freaking sick view isn't it?" Asen didn't know what the player meant by that as he never really paid much attention to this floor's beauty except for the monsters and the quests. Regardless Asen shrugged his shoulders as he really wasn't here for sights. "If you say so." That was all Asen said as he kept his hands in his pockets while walking a slow pace now near the player.

He shrugged his shoulders as his eyes briefly closed before opening themselves to reveal the same pair of crimson red eyes of his. Those same red eyes locked onto her golden eyes as he was more of an eye contact type of person anyways, mainly because he can get a better sense of one's soul so to speak by looking into their eyes. Usually in this game some had the eyes of a killer, others tend to have a pair of strong confidence and strength behind them or negatively have the weak and broken pair of eyes. He seemed relieved to find out that she was one of the strong ones, of course just about anyone can wear a mask to keep their true emotions hidden like himself.

"Zahra eh? Well it certainly is a first that I've seen anyone who has been in Egypt truth be told." He admits as a small smile cracks on his lips. Not a sinister one nor a hostile one at that. Just a friendly one just like any other people who considers other people as their friends. "Though i find it also rare that anyone would be taking a swim in this game, unless you prefer breaking the ice like yours truly accomplished once and almost fell in." He was referring to the heart shaped ring that was a frozen lake used for the Valentine's Festival down in the 4th Floor. "I suppose i should also introduce myself, though..." He raised his hand to his chin as his eyes seemed to tell that he was thinking about something else. "I think it would be wise for you not to know mine. Who knows what other fool would stoop low enough should you go muttering my name." He was doing that for her own safety as there are hunters who are players trying to claim the huge bounty on his head, and some would do anything to take his head off his shoulders even involving innocent people. They've done it before, and failed miserably.

A wave of players of exactly 25 of them while the others sat back and merely observed the battleground taking place. The first five of them with spears goes to try to thrust at him from a distance hoping that the extended reach of the spear would be good enough to pierce his skin. Unfortunate for them, it wasn't enough as Asen quickly jumps over the wooden shafts of the spears and had the intendancy to actually stab one of the five had he not seen the sword waiting for his heart to pierce into. So he had to redirect the direction of his blade to bat away the sword while kicking the face of one of the players and leaps straight up just in time as another set of blades accidentally sliced the poor player's helmet off reducing its durability to zero. The player's head was still in tact as Asen lands in between two others in a crouching position and as the two raised their swords they both tried to swing at him. Though they were surprisingly disarmed as Asen lashed out a single blow and winds up ripping their weapons free from their hands without dealing any damage to any of them as of yet.

"Yeah, well that's a bit easier said than done considering on how this thing operates. Perhaps the next round or so." Asen stated with a grin on his face even though he was pretty sure that he wouldn't make much of a difference other than the fact that he can take damage at least and be able to recover from it. "Though I suppose I should include my part in this to at least say that I tried." With that being said he charged at Cupid in a fast pace. He didn't trip like some people have done instead he leaps straight for Cupid's heart. Just when he was too close to change direction Cupid winds up evading his blade entirely. Before Cupid would be able to counter that however, Asen uses his momentum to flip and twist his body to land on his feet facing towards back at Cupid reducing the chance of Cupid getting on Asen's flank while quickly assuming a defensive position for any attacks. Least to say is that his crimson red eyes are locked onto Cupid.

"Oh for the love of God, when did I become so popular?" Asen called out in the underground cavern of the 10th Floor as surrounding him on both ends were what seems like to be an army of Players and Player Killers in the mix. Asen pulled down his mask under his chin as well as pulling down his hood revealing his silvery white hair tipped with black on his bangs. There sure appeared to be a lot of them that was for sure as Asen's crimson red eyes wandered from man to woman that filled these corridors. One of the men equipped with decent looking equipment with a broad axe in his hands and was also a Green Player simply snarls at Asen. "Don't play all innocent! You've been around here doing nothing but killing this whole time with you and your maniac sense of humor! Do you know how many lives you've taken?! How many that we all swore to come back from?!" Asen simply shrugged his shoulders as he simply had the casual look yet his eyes were telling that he was trying to recall and his hands were not in his pockets however and were resting on the hilt of his sword. "Oh I don't know... a hundred or so maybe?" That only made the whole army cast frowns and glares of disgust and hatred that can be heavily felt in the rocky corridors.

Previously before all of this began, Asen decided while he was in Floor 9 that he should take a stroll in the 10th Floor as a way of exploring the new floor that was unlocked. Minding his own business as he usually is just memorizing the routes and taking notes about the areas. When he was in the midst of going through his menu and checking what he needs to do in order to get some things for his forge and before he knows it he was completely surrounded by what appears to be an angry mob of organized mix of Players and Player Killers. Asen merely let's out a sigh as he knows that a magnitude of this many Players at present is going to be pointless to try to talk them out of it as they all seem very set on killing. Since they're all directing their hatred towards him, he's guessing that he's their target as he later chuckles a bit. "Man, now I feel on how Cupid did when he saw a few players coming after him. I feel like i'm a Floor Boss around here or something like that with all of you blockheads here. But honestly..." A grin starts to spread across his face as he chuckled a bit again. "I welcome your request, as your intentions are clear enough on what you hoped to achieve. On the name and behalf of what you all must have known as the Terror of Death, and Death is what you shall receive."

With that being said, Asen draws out his sword to reveal the neon orange edge of his curved sword and the onyx black of the main body of the sword. He pops his neck and rolls his shoulders as if he's just warming himself which he really was as he was getting into the mindset of combat with his eyes focused on the army around him as they danced from one player to the next. "So, who's first to be on my Death List?" He asked with a wicked grin on his face as well. If anything he appeared to be ready to kill them all, when if anyone actually knew him would see that he was actually pretty sad on the inside.

All Asen heard was the rushing sound on the snow through the wind as his instincts almost immediately kicked in as jumped as high as over Zauis's head while flipping his body backwards as he catches a glimpse of a black medium sized cat. He wasn't thinking about anything really as his crimson red eyes were kind of having a glaze over them as the world seemed to be turning upside down as he was in mid flip only to set his eyes on something green. Sure if it was grass or even the trees in the early spring or something he would've overlooked it. Since things were moving pretty much at slow motion in his mind he was able to see that there was a green cursor over the head of player revealing spiky red hair. He didn't think much of it as he lands with grace in a crouching position with his hand falling on the hilt of his sword. Then he realized that the cat which was pouncing onto Zauis now as Asen had dodged out of the way looked familiar as Asen's hood came down to reveal his silvery white hair along with the red markings on his face. "Where have I seen you before big fella?" He asked the creature as if it possessed intelligence enough to respond back.

Asen prepares himself another doubtful good item as he was hoping, but with unfortunate it only ended up in disaster as the item was completely useless as it didn't even come near to the fact that it was supposed to be something else. Instead it was like a blob of metal as it was a failure but at least it molded into some other shape besides a bad weapon or armor for that matter.

Letting out a sigh as he enters the forge he had come to remember with unfortunate luck radiating from this place. Starting the forge into a fiery roar of flames as Asen, the one with the silver hair, picks up his hammer and prepares the ingots on the anvil before him in the medium sized chamber. His crimson red eyes lazily dazed at the fiery fires of the forge as he was just lost in his thoughts right now as he no longer finds it exciting on this job. Sure he's still a beginner in this, and it kind of makes him want to just stick with his sword and his skills as an assassin. However this is for the guild that he is in, and that fact alone was enough to drive him to at least do his part to work at this forge. He swings the hammer on the ingot about six times before it formed into shapes and unfortunately as this forge is known for the item turns out to be another bad item of a gladius. Letting out another sigh, he stores it in the stock pile and winds up shaking his head.

"Something like that yes, though I do my best to prevent needless deaths so I just utter my nickname and throw some threats and they usually run away. Some however are not so bright as you may have already seen." Asen stated as he raises his hand to Asen's face to tug the cloth lower to reveal his face towards his brother though he keeps the hood up for warmth mainly. The bangs of his stark white hair drops on the side of his cheeks as he was listening to Zauis on what he has to say and was rather quiet during the time Zauis was speaking. His crimson red eyes were pretty much locked onto the eyes of Zauis reading the emotions and feeling the aura about him.

He smiled again as Asen pats Zauis shoulder in a friendly manner to assure him of one thing. "Hey don't worry, i'm not going die in this game. If I am going to die i'd rather be bag of old bones laying on my bed." It's not that he wanted to die, but it was inevitable in any case and he was willing to fulfill his life with everything that comes his way. If he was going to die he'd rather die as an old man than anything else if he can help it. "Though the same can be said to you as well Zauis, if you died just think on how bad Aoife will cry. I believe that's more than enough to get you motivated in your case bro." Asen already knows about Zauis's sister complex with Aoife when Asen doesn't have that type of emotions towards her like Zauis does.

Asen places another ingot for the day as it is the last attempt he can make out of this as he raises his hammer and swings it down on the ingot with a loud clang. He was going at it for a good while and felt like he could finally make something useful out of it. But no such luck as it forms into a crudely made pair of metal gauntlets. Frowning upon it as it was a Bad Quality, he simply tosses it in the storage bin as he couldn't make anymore for the day as he just used his last attempt on the crafting career for the day.

Asen shook his head at the material even before he grabbed his hammer as all the previous items that he made were pretty bad. Good enough to take shape, but not so much when it comes to actual combat terms as they'll just break upon the first blow of any kind really. Nonetheless he needed the experience if anything else as he hesitantly begins to hammer away at the ingot laid out before him. Unfortunately as he was hammering it only twice this time before the ingot simply shattered into pieces. Asen scoffed at the failure he was at this. "Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't be doing Blacksmith?" He asked himself as he lets out a heavy sigh.

He was finding this situation rather funny as he was really glad to finally see at least one of his siblings as he lets out a chuckle as he simply lets go of his sword which slides back into the sheath. "Don't worry, its not that I think that i'm better than you I was just pointing out the fact. Nice try on that either way, though you might want to be a little quieter when you're attacking then you'll be perfect." Asen was giving his brother some advice that could very well save his life, of course Zauis has survived this long so he probably shouldn't be criticizing his own brother.

When Zauis asked if he was still into killing and also the fact on where Asen's been as he pretty much vanished from public eyes for a long time and only for the past month showed his face around again. His hidden smile faded to a blank one as the sorrow hidden deep inside his eyes started to shed some light. "I... Been busy, and as much as I like to get rid of this orange thing over my head I just can't. I'm pretty sure you've heard the rumors haven't you? And on my reputation as well which I will not bore you with how I obtain that nickname." Though he kind of doubts Zauis has heard of Asen's nickname since it was only muttered by other players in towns, but then again word has spread like wild fire on the first month Asen disappeared. Now though it's more of a myth now or a legend or whatever the players call him now.

Asen, clad in all black with only the sides of his temple and eyes were the only thing exposed. The rest was a mixture of black cloth and dark leather armor that makes him stick out like a sore thumb since he's wearing dark clothing in the midst of white snow. He has his hood up covering his silvery white hair and has a cloth mask over his face showing only his crimson red eyes that were wondering from side to side with his hands tucked in his pockets while his mind wonders off into space. God knows what he was thinking as his mind was simply blank, letting his body wonder wherever it takes him as his eyes only told of sorrow yet a icy stone cold aura about them that was kind of emo.

Then to his surprise he hears the one voice he thought he never would hear again, along with the sound of metal ringing against leather scabbards and the rushing sound of footsteps coming towards him from his left. He didn't need to really look as he simply unsheathed the brightly orange edge of Xilanvale with his left hand and winds up clashing blades with his sword facing the wrong way or upside down as Asen quickly spins around with a kick to the quick flash of the leg in order to knock the person down on one knee yet doesn't raise his blade against the man who attacked. A hidden smile spreads on Asen's face as his eyes comes to face the back of the head of his brother's who he thought disappeared a long time ago. "How am I supposed to know? I haven't seen her in over a year now, but according to the friend's list she's still around fortunately." Then Asen with his free right hand winds up flicking playfully on Zauis's forehead if he turns around or just the back of his head. "And its nice to see you too Little Brother, though you'll have to do better than that to get me."

He merely shook his head as he kind of winced in doubt about her being depressive. "If you were trying to be depressed then you could've fooled me, though I already had endured my fair and long share of depression." He admits as he clearly wasn't hiding his opinions let alone his thoughts as he didn't think they necessarily need to be hidden. It's just his past is filled with too much hatred and sorrow. "So you basically live in Egypt or something?" That was the main sandy place he's read about in the world maps back in the real world where he had to learn about countries and what's in those countries. Some of his history included Egyptian people, and some science theories included them as well as possibilities of something scientific.

His crimson red eyes were now brought back to her though he was mainly trying to look into her eyes without leaning or anything of movement aside from his eyes wandering around her body. The dry and warm wind of the desert blows through his silvery white hair that was short yet comes just along the cheeks of his face where the marks on his cheeks the forehead can be seen. It was put there when he made his avatar and was stuck on him even when he looked in that mirror Kayaba told them to look into to reveal their true faces. Not that he had a problem with it as he did in fact got some laughs from the fact that some of the flirtatious girl avatars winds up being a guy and their dates flipped out because of it. That was the problem though, at that time he never took this game very seriously and was thus reckless in his decisions and didn't really think twice about his actions. It took some people that he truly cared about to break his mind and heart upon their deaths, and now bears the eternal guilt deep into his heart. Even though that was a year ago, it still aches.

(Sorry for the lateness, life is catching up on me)

"Thank you Mari, and I do agree with that type of motive to be driven by. At least you have something to keep you going with a goal in mind." Asen complimented though he was just pointing out facts as he accepted the trade. He wasn't the best blacksmith as of yet, but that doesn't mean he's not willing to try either. For he will definitely give it his best shot at it, though the red haired guy was right about one thing is that since there really wasn't any durability around here there's pretty much only a limited number of times that people come back to buy stuff unless they're just really good friends. Asen just might be tempted to maybe switch professions, but as of right now his presence is being called to the forge.

He listened to what Mari said about the new objective for the Cerulean Silence and he was liking it as he first intended to join this guild as a source of frontline material or better to do stealth operations since his Hiding is actually about average right now and very few players that he's seen invests their time in the Search and Detection skill. Could be used as a scout of sorts to find out what's up ahead or just sneak around to a device of some kind. Sure he's not much of a hitter, but he makes up for it in other areas at least. "I have no objections here, though I wouldn't be so hard on Ren here. There are bound to be times when some players in the guild would feel impatient about something since that can't really be helped. Besides..." He used his upper arms while placing his hands on the rock underneath him that he was laying while in an attempt to leap in order to flip his body backwards since the front of him just drops off to the ground as he plants his feet on the rock while in a crouching position. "If we're going to take on bosses such as the Monthly ones or even the Floor Bosses we're going to need a few more members, strong ones preferably to reduce the casualties. Of course Ren is always growing and leveling so he'll be up in our alley soon. Though I think it would be best to maybe get two more of decent levels to carry out these objectives that you declared. Do keep in mind however that this is only a suggestion, so its really up to you Mari if you wish to take up to it or not though I have a feeling you were already thinking of that." Asen was just stating his concerns and also his thoughts on the matter onto her ideas to help it become a reality. Naturally his presence is still hidden from viewers from far distance, and his tone was still rather casual as he was thinking strategic scenarios of upcoming events that could or may not happen. Some might call it a survivor's sense, which is quite natural to Asen since the environment he's endured for the past year now.

Asen shrugged his shoulders as he wouldn't doubt it, but he wouldn't have hopes for that chance either. "There could be treasure, or there couldn't be. Only way to find out is if we go check it out ourselves. Either way I think it'll be interesting to look into just in case if there is something in there that we wind up finding." He answered truthfully without debating on what to say or how to say certain words. Just plain and simple to understand. Though he felt like he could use this as an opportunity to get to know the guild he decided to take part in.

His crimson red eyes wandered from Mari to the sprites though they only appeared to be pale blue orbs of light dancing in the frozen wasteland. He thought about getting a familiar as he previously had one named Miliel. A pretty docile creature that was probably the weakest familiar since he found it on the first floor but it kept him being aware of other players and creatures. Unfortunately he let it go after he turned into a Player Killer since he felt like he couldn't treat it right with the way he was. A faint smile spread across his face, though it is hidden under the cloth that's over his face. "Familiars are a nice thing to have, especially for company if you ever need someone or something to talk to. Though they're useful in other areas as well depending on what creature you're taming."
