Asen

I quickly drew out my sword and slashed through the vine. I dropped to the ground on my feet as the plant flinched from being damaged and at least ten vines were whipping around like crazy. I quickly scanned the monster to see if it was what I was looking for, but it turned out to be just a regular mob. Thankfully this thing is a solitary predator, but I held my sword in front of me with my free hand half opened and half closed.

Out of no where, a vine shot out from one of the branches and wrapped around my left leg and before I could react it slung me against the tree. The air was knocked out of me as I was lifted upside down and when I looked up (down cuz I'm upside down) I saw a plant with a huge mouth with razor sharp teeth that looked like it could slice through my sword. I could tell that it was getting me closer to it's mouth, in fact it even feels like it's playing with it's food a little. I know it's a risk, but I have to in order to survive in here.

3/4

About half and hour had passed and the sun is already at an acute angle from the eastern horizon. I got up to my feet and sheathed my sword and approached the Forest. I know I would probably have to search for the thing in order complete this quest, but I would have to venture through the Forest for a while. And so I walked through the Forest with not too much trouble, and the Forest was like it was breathing or something.

*Pant*... *Pant*... That skill sure took a number on me even though it did take them out... I remarked as I suddenly buckled to my knees. I stab the sword into the ground to keep me from falling on my face.

I looked through my inventory and got out some of the apples. leaving me with only two left before I'm out. I bit into the apple as I sat with my sword still in the ground.

The Augatis is a good skill with an probability to burn something, but it leaves me in a fatigued state...

So I guess I won't use that skill again unless I really want to risk it. I thought to myself as I bit into the apple.

Sword Skill! "Augatis!" ("Crimson Flame Dance)

I performed a number of slashes at the boars, however I still got scratched on my knee from their tusks. Each time they get struck by the Augatis, their bodies become like a ball of fire running along the field. The agonizing stench of burnt flesh and fur filled the air. The boars rubbed their bodies on the grass to get the flames off, but it would just add more fuel into it instead. Pretty soon, the boars' bodies were bundled into one giant crimson bonfire, and after a few minutes they disappeared into little particles of data.

As I walked, a small herd of boars was galloping across the field and it was pretty close to me. Maybe thirty feet at the most, and all of them were eyeing at me angrily. I could sense the malice and anger behind it's eyes, even though it was only a program, I can still tell when something wants to kill me or not. And these boars looked like they weren't going to invite me to a party and talk things over. So I drew out my sword and held it the tip up to the sky and my sword flashed red as they charged at me.

The morning winds started to kick up and the first rays of sunlight pierced the night's sky like a holy beam or something.

Memories started to come to me, of the time when I was still in middle school I would watch the sun rise above the tree tops as I would wait for the bus to come as late as usual.

I shook my head and got up on my feet. I'll admit I'm not as tired as I was earlier, but I know that if I was ambushed by a PKer right now I wouldn't be able to put much of a fight. So I continued on the journey, even though I was already half way up there, it was still at least two miles away. And not to mention I have to search for the plant as well, which it'll probably somewhere deep into the Forest.

It was still night when I came to, and the wind was blowing a lot lighter than it should've. I felt so empty and hollow that I could barely muster the strength to get on my feet. I smirked.

"Wow, I'm surprised I didn't get PKed while I was out..." I remarked. I wanted to continue on to the forest, but I don't think my feet are willing to walk another mile unless I take a break. I spotted an oak tree about thirty ft. away from where I was at. I half dragged and half walked up to the tree. When I got to it, I just laid my back against the tree and slid down on the soft grass. And once again sleep took over once more.

Hours had went by, and the sun was low on the western horizon. I was sore and my feet and calves were screaming at me for walking so long. I tried to cover some more ground before night had fallen, but I collapsed from exhaustion before I even realized it.

He scouted the place for a quest that was more of his specialty and with luck he managed to find the

of the Forest> quest.

"Heh, so I have to find this Little Nepent in the Forest eh?" I said to myself as I accepted the quest.

I went to the food boothe and got me some green apples to sustain me on the way up there. With everything set up, I started to make way to the forest.

The morning sun shined brightly through the glass window as I woke up from the bed. I stretched my aching muscles from

yesterday and hurried up to get ready and eat breakfast downstairs. After I ate, I went around town to sell off the

loot that I had gathered from the mobs. Unfortunately, I wasn't the only one who thought of that and there was at least a thousand players selling off their loot. I managed to get what I'm guessing an item shop? But anyway I managed to get a

decent amount of Kol from it, but it was barely enough to cover me for the night at the Inn. So I figured if I do a quest I can get some more Kol and possible get some new equipment.

Okay thx

OK, yeah I have to agree with you there. Oh BTW do you know about the Sword Skill set up? Or are you guys already working soon it?

» About: Asen is pretty much an easy going type person and can be fun to hang around with. He follows what his heart tells him, and you can even say that he puts his heart and soul into everything he does. He's pretty loyal and always does his best to keep his word. Plus if anyone has a personal problem and is driven to the point of insanity. He always listens to everything they say and tries to help them out as best as he can. I'll do more of his character building after a few rps go well enough, but this is the start up of what he's like. However, there might be a part of him that some might say that he has a Bipolar disorder only he can willingly change his personality from easy going to a mass murderer type even though deep down he's still aware and controls his actions. He never finds killing to be satisfactory, but in his mind in order to prevent more deaths or even possible deaths he had to become the monster he promised he wouldn't be.

He was a big time gamer yet at the same time was a antisocial as he still is and does almost anything to avoid people if he can help it. He doesn't go to the extremes though since he can never find the heart to actually turn someone away. Now he did dated this one girl who went by the name of Yukari Sarutori at the beginning of middle school and they were pretty much stuck together all throughout middle school and almost through highschool. However Jin, or Asen for that matter, was a gamer and come to find out that Yukari was a gamer as well and even introduced him to three of her friends. Rin Orimura, Yukari's best friend and also a bit of a tsundere as she always talk cold to everyone she meets at first. Lee Kantitori, pretty much the computer geek of the group but was always timid and afraid to speak. Took Asen, the antisocial guy in the world, a week to get Lee to be more confident. Then lastly there was Yuki Koyu, she was quite the mystery one as she kept mostly to herself. Come to find out that they were all gamers as well and they would even throw slumber parties at one of the group's houses mainly Yukari's house or sometimes even Rin's house when she makes up her mind about it.

Then they wind up hearing the announcement about the famous game SAO being officially released. Including his two siblings which both go by the names in the game as Zaius and Aoife. Zaius is the guy everybody knows, if you can't see him just follow his voice. Then there's his sister, Aoife which he treats rather kindly and kind of spoils her too. Though she has been rather quiet, she was also a big gamer like he was and Zaius was sort of into games at the time. They, especially Aoife, bugged him into getting the game for them to play it together for the first time so eventually while he along with Yukari and the gang waited at the line he got the three games along with the hardware all from his allowance.

» Virtues:
. Relaxed- He's mostly relaxed in any situation he's in, giving him the cool-head to plan his next idea before anyone knows it.

. Observant- He likes to observe each situation in every angle that's possible.

. Loyalist- If he promises to someone to something, he'll do everything he can to keep and uphold his promise.

. Absent-Minded- Sometimes his mind wanders to his past and all sorts of memories from the past come flooding into him.

. Sadist- Nothing is more thrilling except for those who can take a beating and still stand on their feet.

Story Thus Far (optional)
» Before defeating the F1 boss, he encountered a group of PKers that threatened to kill him, but Thirag the leader of the group decided to use him as bait. Asen fought the boss with the aid of the PKers and when it was defeated they left him alone to go up higher. After miraculously surviving the F1 boss battle, he was falsely accused for attempting murder, and after confronting the victim his name got cleared up, but now he's being hunted by PKers. Asen kept to himself and practically used the safe zones as resting points from being chased. Then the unexpected happens, on the 3rd floor guess who he encountered? You may have already guess it, but he winds up meeting Yukari and the others while strolling the Delilah Village and they actually found him as he wasn't paying attention before he got tackled by Yukari since they haven't seen each other for the past month. They talked about how great they were looking and were catching up on what happened to each and everyone of them. Least to say that they were almost back to their normal selves and Asen's soul felt right at home being around them. At the time, Asen wasn't even aware that he had a dark part of him that he was now willing to tap into in order to slay all of the foes standing before him. They stick together and proceeded on through the Third Floor's dungeon to clear the area and to level each other up a bit as well. They were really happy and acted like they didn't have the care in the world, they had each other's backs and stood up for each other if one gets knocked down.

However all of that changed when they reached up to the fourth floor. The group of five settled in Snowfrost Town for a bit before setting out once again. Or at least that's what they planned on doing anyway. However, Asen during one of his usual hunting schedule with Yukari and the others they wind up encountering something different than the regular monsters. Thirag from the 1rst floor appeared once again, this time alone though he had a battleaxe in his hands. At first the party was debating on whether they should run or take this guy on. But Asen made the mistake on trusting the bastard and they all lowered their guard. No sooner than that he and the party was knocked out. It didn't take long before he came conscious only to find himself having a boot on his knees restricting movement. Kneeling in front of him were Yukari, Rin, Lee, and Yuki as they were lined up before him. Thirag grabbed a dagger that had the enhancement to bleed upon certain strikes and purposely made Asen watch helplessly as Thirag takes the dagger and stabs Yuki right into the heart. Asen struggled as much as he could to try to help Yuki as she was being repeatedly stabbed over and over again. Each time she gasped as she watched with horror being bound by rope behind her as her health bar slowly went down to zero which Asen called out to her and for Thirag to stop. Only to watch in despair as she shatters into pieces right before his eyes. Then the same happened with Lee as Asen struggled even more with tears streaming from his eyes only to have the same results as last time. Then Thirag worked on Rin, who also had tears in her eyes, except that she made an effort to actually crawl up towards Asen as she was being stabbed. She slapped him and told him her last words to live, and to carry on being himself. Then Thirag dealt the final blow to her and she was gone... this time he was too stunned to think or move for that matter. The other Player Killers were getting a bit worried and told Thirag themselves to stop his madness, but he wasn't having it as Thirag started to kill off Asen's most precious, and prized memory and person that he cared for. Yep, you guessed it, Yukari was being killed right before his eyes which was worst than all three of the previous death's combined to him. Yukari was how he would look at his own wife, so you can probably imagine how heart broken and helpless and driven insane he was. Finally Asen managed to break free from the Players and managed to take the dagger and shoved the dagger down Thirag's throat. Literally. Unfortunately, Asen was too late as he now held Yukari in his arms and was fetching from his bag for the healing potion. While he was searching she whispered something to him that told him that time was up and she shatters right before his eyes, right on his arms. It was like someone took the sledgehammer and smashed his entire hope of life as he was soon filled with grief and angry. Least to say he was pissed, very pissed. Not going into detail on what happened other than he made the other Player Killer's death slow and painful as much as possible, and just thank to Kazuto that he didn't put blood in this game or else the cave they were in would've been flooded with at least a foot of blood with the walls and maybe even the ceiling would be covered in it. Afterwards, Asen went onto a killing spree out of revenge and hence is how he got his Nickname. Taking down numerous guilds filled with Player Killers single handedly, he made sure that no one under the Player Killer status lived to tell the tale. However that didn't stop them from sending messages for help before they were slaughtered. By the time he finally calmed down and got over his sense of revenge, rumor has it that he killed 159 Players total. But that rumor is of course false and is in fact worse than that. Instead of that many, as Asen can't remember the exact number, but he has killed for a total of 2,398 Players for a month. During this time, everyone he knew are now either dead or very, very few lives. Knowing this he isolated himself and seemingly to have disappeared for a long time. After being relentlessly hunted by random PKers left and right, a small group of PKers/Bounty Hunters came into play at the beginning of the 6th Floor. For a while Asen has been able to fend these hunters off, and when he ascended up to the 7th Floor he simply vanished it seemed. There was no word nor trace of him, and many thought he was dead. But that wasn't the case as Asen now returns after months of disappearance to show his face once more.
