 I hope...you would mourn my loss.

For a moment I couldn't say anything. That's the nicest thing I ever heard, it was so nice that I couldn't believed it was true. She isn't serious. She is lying, like everyone. "Yea right. I'm sure you will be there, it is help you feeling good about yourself right?" I know she was lying, it's time to put an end to this. My smile was twisted as I put my hand on the hilt. You are going to regrated it, I will cut you and make you wish for my ends in your darkness dream. My eyes shined as I pull of my sword of it's sheath "Well that's your mistake young lady. What are you going to do when your energy is almost empty. I will show you why you shouldn't trust others, because in the end, THEY ONLY BRING YOU MISERY!"

 

I leaned against the wall to pant, I ran a long distance and barely made it. Then I slowly collapsed to sitting, lowered my head and closed my eyes. The pictures became stronger in front of my eyes, I don't remember what happen but I'm terrified. Every Time, it remind me more faces of dead people, people that I never met before. I didn't know they are dead yet, I just felt it.  I looked around. So much players...they are so noisy. And they talked and talked, talked without end about how they gets here and how to get out. shut up. Just shut up!  They are going to dive me crazy, I puts my hands around the ears but it didn't help! they didn't stopped talking and my head was screaming in pain! 

"Do you need any any help" I heard another female voice come toward me in the cave. The voice sound like she is coming closer  "No....I'm ok. just leave me alone" I wasn't ok, and it's definitely didn't fools her. "Are you sure?" Jennet ask, I heard her coming closer. She is not letting go. THat was so annoying, I sweared  I will do anything to keep her off me.  "Yes, I'm sure just...leave me a.." she cut my sentence "You know, everyone of us lose someone. If you will just.." I didn't heard the next part, all want her is to leave me. Shut up. shut up shut up shut up. Just go back to your group and leave me be. I felt a soft hand on my shoulder "Leave me alone!"  

I pushed my hand forward, than I heard something hits the ground strongly. Her voice stopped. I didn't care what it was, as long as it made her stop talking.

That thorns again. It's time to put an end to this mess, After the queen passed me I followed her and attacked right after she hit the walking thorn bush. I used my sword skill to stub and quickly in the back. She began to fly in circles and tried to get me off her. I used my sword skill again and with two purple glows I removed her wings for good. She fall down on her four legs while I disconnect my sword from her back and flip right on the ground.

I didn't know why, but her worry made me feel more angry. "Nothing, I'm fine, I'm fine!" I surprisingly found myself raising my voice on the one who saved me, she didn't deserved that. I felt bad that I didn't felt bad about it, sound crazy right? "My head is [coursed] up, I don't know what's going on. I don't even remember half of our battle!". I couldn't lower my voice in that time, but at least I told her the true. I own her that one. "Look, thanks for help. But I'm dead anyway. It's only a matter of time until this play will over. I can't offer you anything, and I can't give you anything in return" than my voice fall to whisper "even not my gratitudes".

Really just go. You won't get anymore gratitudes, and the more you will spend with me the more you will hate me. We both don't want that. Next time I won't call you, because I hate the look on your face after you helped me, the look that glad to see that I'm fine.

It looks like I dodged the queen by a few millimeters, but the fact was that she wasn't even close to hit me. I believed that when evasion you should move more then the necessary, that's what I do, because I didn't have some stupid effect that will let me to eat it beating and get free damage without the need to dodge on the first place. I didn't understand why he ever do something! all he need is just to stand still and monster will die while he was a sleep. This effect make me feel so dead. I felt dead anyway, but fighting actually made me feels alive.

Thinking about all that, I missed my chance to attack the creature when she passed me.

A moment of silence pass between us, as I struggled with with my inner feelings to her. I want to shout at her and thanks her at the same time. She help me twice until now, and without her I wouldn't stand here now. But the other part of me want to shout at her: Do I look like I'm ok? I'm falling apart into nothingness and I can't do anything about it. No one would care and I don't need anyone. So just leave me alone!

"Yea...I'm fine. Thank you for coming...without" I mumbled, but pull it out of my mouth at last. The other part was stayed inside me, but my face couldn't hide it. She is smart, she will see my anger and confusion. But I had nothing to do about it.

That was the time! I could feel it! The troll launch his attack on Allania, but I couldn't move yet. When he hit her with his club my energy bar ticked up and I jump above him. Then, I land on him with my mighty sword, but before I was able to him he spread around to million pixels and vanish in the air. My sword hit the ground with unsatisfied voice. In the end, he die for the damage reflection of Allania armour.

He is dead!
 

It was long after I finished the the meeting with the pink haired girl. A group of a lot low level players was intended to rush into the snow desert and explore it secrets. I can't even remember the reason, but somehow I found myself walking with them in the wilderness. All I can remember was the the shouting of the players who encountered the horrible beast, after that everything was blacked out. 

I felt like I was being carried away by someone. The wind gave me it special touch, like a hundred beautiful snowing knives that pierced my skin while I lived. Near the one who carried me there was another one and they both whisper each other in fear. They talked about a huge disaster and the luck they had from been in the back of the raid on the first place. They now following the others footsteps, hoping to reach them, hoping to find someone else in this blizzard. Then a powerful scream filled the air, I felt that we a start to move faster when the screaming voice behind us. "He'll get us!" the one who carried me shout. "It's because you are too slow! hurry up!"
 
"I can't, he is too heavy!"

"So drop him, this guy is dead anyway. if you won't drop him none of us will make it!"

"...."

I felt the cold snow hit me as I stopped moving, then something big just passed above me. It's look like this thing didn't gave up on chasing them after all, the fact that they dropped me probably saved my life. The vision slowly came back to me as I pulled myself out from the pile of snow that I was stuck in, though it wasn't much different. I Moved from the black screen to the white one. I wondered in the snowy field for a while, but I couldn't see any other color except white. The weather became worse as the time passed, and I also notice that my HP is constantly dropping a bit every few minutes. I have to get out of here, I just promise to Yuki that she can't lose me, I can't lose myself now!

With that thought in mind I started running through the storm. I stopped to drink potion on the way and watch my HP gets up from the danger zone. I didn't know how much time it will give me. In the end I reached a massive ice wall that blocked my path. I cursed in silence and start to ran alongside it, one of my hands covered my face while the other followed the ice wall all the way. Then my right hand stopped feeling the wall, I turned wonderingly, to my surprise I discovered an empty cave. I quickly entered inside, leaned on the wall to catched my breath. All my clothes and my face was filled in snow. I got only 3 HP left. I looked around and notice to see that I'm not alone in this cave. A bunch of players was crowded around a small fire. Some of them looked really miserable.

Allania tried to tank the troll but it's really didn't works out. The troll start to walk back from her and waving his clue in the air, almost like he know it was it last moments. I use my my sword art again and attacked him with a huge curve of purple, but I missed. This troll give honor to his all clan..
but I'm not going to give up!  I attacked him again and again and all he did was focusing to block my attack. "Now Allania! before my energy will over, finish him!"

OOC: please kill it!

I saw Yuki accept the trade. A few moment ago I wanted to kill her, now I'm gonna give her one of the most valued thing I had right now. When the trade tab pop up I open my inventory and drag a crystal there. "This is an health crystal, when you will run out of HP smash it in your hand and it will give you 20 HP back. The good thing about it that not like potion it doesn't take to much time to use him, so you won;t be valuable to attacks".

I accept the trade and watch my crystal moved to Yuki.  You right Zandra, this crystal will save my life.

-  Health crystal t1 (20HP) X1

I will get him, I thought. I run toward him and aim for his head, my sword released a soft purple shine as I moved the other hand to the hilt. "This is you end!" I crossed the distance between us and launch myself on him. he turned around and block his attack with his clue. Block? he is a troll! He shouldn't know how to block! I fall back to create a distance between us, but he just turned back again and smash the place that allana stood before with his clue. Lucky, she wasn't there anymore.
 

I walk to the beat slowly, my sword was ready for blood. I stopped two meters from it, bending my own knees and wait. My sword start to glow in a purple light again as I focused on the beast. THe beast was still paralyzed, so I didn't scare of it reaction. Found it! A piece from it body who looked vulnerable. I launched myself on the beast, holding my sword with both of my hands. But the second I attacked the perelized stopped, and the bee dodged my sword. However it wasn't fast enough, so I still manage to it a bit on the side of it body..

"I'm glad, I'm glad to hear." I was really glad to hear that, I felt a huge relief in my chest. I ran my fingers through her hair as I caressed her gently. "Don't worry. you are not going to lose me. We will train hard and get a lot of good equipment, then none of us will lose anything ever again. At least..Until we will get out of here". I swift my hand in the hair and opened the menu bar, then I sent a trade request to Yuki. "Accept it."  I said, "I have something to give you". It wasn't much, but if it will rise her chance to survive until we will get a better items to her it will worth it. Weird enough, I start to take this game really seriously...It's funny when something important to you, everything become more real.

He doesn't only have good armor, this guy is strong to. A metallic sound filled the air as I pull out my beginner's sword. I guess one of the advantages of unharmed is that you don't need to to do that. I jump right after him toward the beast and triggering my stubbing skill on, but my sword has been parried away thanks to the the beast skin. I continue with the movement and fall toward the ground, so I used my hand to flip myself back and turn. Then I stopped the skid with my legs.

I smiled when I heard her words. I couldn't believed she would love me back, not after everything I did to her. I wrapped her with my hand and raised her slowly from the tree she set on the whole time. Then when we were on the same height, I brought my face close to her. "Please promise me that we will always be able to trust each other, I don't want to lose you. If that will happen..." I will probably turn myself to a PK.  After I said it I regret immediately, it was a lot to ask from her. But I needed it. I need someone that trust. Even if I knew it's only a game, I felt this thought has a lot of meaning behind it.

"You know I learned in the hard way that no one is care about any of us, so I thought we shouldn't care about everyone too. I try to be as cold hearted as I could, and it's worked with everyone except you. I'm an empty shell without any memories and a broken mind, so I don't know if I will ever change. But I can't ignore you anymore, and I will never will. Yuki, I love you, and I will do whatever I can to help us get out of here." I gave at her a serious look before I continue "But know this, if I will ever lose part of my memories again, come to me and tell me 'Rowan is not your real name'. Then I will believe you and listen to everything you have to say".

I look at Ronin when he left, but not sure if he really meant or just trick them "You will get a massage when someone will find the shop. You are already part of the group, I have no way to cancel it".  It was a lie of course, but it will give him what he want in case he is not out. It was kind of strange, he came here from the first place just to leave? But if you thinking about that, he is that kind of a guy that life only the moment. He doesn't pay to much attention to the details...man, he couldn't tell the difference between bleeding effect and a damage effect. Maybe it's really not suit for him. 

That's actually right. Before I met her I had nothing to do. I was level five but I knew nothing about this game and myself, I wondered on floor one tried to figure who I am and what to do. I faced to notice that I'm not interested anyone, so I decided that no one should intrested me and did what it take to survive. I also decide that if I don't care about anyone, I should used everyone in every possible way to reach my goal. I not an idealist, I know that these things will never change. But weird enough, I don't want to used her and and don't care what she is thinking about me. I just want be with her, and I don't care if I will waste my time or gain nothing in return. I felt similar something to other players who just help me without get anything in return. I never understood them, but I also never understand myself.

As our eyes met, time has stood still...

I smile "excellent, thank you for accepting a stranger like me", I smile back to him and shake his hand honorably. I think I'm going to throw up. Shaking their hands was always the hardest part. Only after that I opened the party tab and accept the invitation. Level 4? really? well I guess this guy doesn't need to worry about himself to much with this armour, I wonder where did he get such items. "My name is Rowan, nice to meet you also", yea right..."Tell me, how did you get this piece of fine armour?"

I hugged close to, start to realize who is really Yuki. Maybe I don't remember anything, but she remember to much. To think she passed all of that and still strong, still survived. And this game remind her all of that, make me want to hold her tighter. I caressed her hair softly, you can cry now, you don't need to hold it anymore. Then I raised her head and looked into her eyes. I wanted to say that I cared about her, that she shouldn't give up. But I didn't thought that I have the rights to do it, so I just open my mouth and said "it's not true. Without you, I would probably lose myself long ago. You are the reason that I keep going in this madness, every day I just looked forward to see you again. So please don't give up, and please don't do anything stupid. Because right now I have a reason to live, without you I will lose it forever..."
 

I sign Allania that I understand her and and start to ran around the troll. He tried to follow me with head but it was to slow. I stopped myself with my left hand and gets ready to launch myself on him. Then he turn around with incredible speed and smash me with his clue, I rolled around poorly and gets up on my feet quickly. I was lucky, my health bar didn't drop a bit.  

I looked at her, didn't really know what to say. 100 people, that's a lot. on a day, and she survive. I wanted to think that it's not real, that she is fooling me, but I couldn't. I believe her, and now I also understand why she react like that in our previous meeting. She passed so much...

"If anything, I'm a fool. I treated you like that without knowing you true past." I grab her with my both hands and huge her, "You don't need to tell me anymore if you don't want to. What you told me sound painful enough". I kept her close to me. if she payed attention, she could heard my Heart pounding faster. All I wanted to do it's just to huge her. If anything, to ease her pain.
 

Thanks for the answer Tristan. Riposte adjustment sound great.

For me the problem is not with the thorn, the problem is that I don't see any other good light armour alternative because I don't think evasion can be compared to it.
But the most annoying thing in thorn for me is that if I will take accuracy enchantment I feel like countering myself, because I have more chance to get hit by it T_T 

"That's nice, I didn't even know there is a bare handed skill". For me only a sword will do, I like this piece of metal in my hand. "I ask because I'm on my way there too, so I figured out it would be easier that way. Do you need help?" I watched him struggled with the monster, I could barely prevent from myself to chup this annoying bee to half. hurry up and finish it off so we could finish this damn quest already
