Hirru felt a sudden change in his position when something plowed full force into him. Taking a quick knee to keep on his feet, he looked over at the figure that just bumped into him. This thing was actually a person, and from her appearance a novice in the game. Even though you couldn't see stats or names, a persons appearance could tell you quite a bit. Her clothing looked new-ish, and she still carried the beginner curved sword; something quickly discarded after getting a better one. What the actual factor through all that was the eyes. Eyes would never lie to anyone, and these were showing a mixture of emotions. Fear, intrigue, but most importantly determination.
Picking himself off the ground, he listened to her apology and greeting before Starrine held out her hand in greeting. Hirru chuckled before grasping her hand in greeting.
"It's fine. My name is Hirru. It's nice to meet you, Starrine. If you don't mind me asking, where are you off to at such speed to run into me?"

Following the fall of the game, many players were forced to stay in the Town of Beginnings. All of them, if not most, were there by fear. Fear that the world would come collapsing upon them. There were those that wanted to continue on, but needed the help of others to get there. Then there were those that went out on their own and got lucky along the way. Many have chosen their fates here. What will become of the next one?
Hirru waited outside the exit to the Town of Beginnings. He didn't really know what for, but something in him said to wait here, and you would know.
((We'll start with a simple introductions before going into everything))

Hirru was instantly taken aback by the sudden question. Usually people don't talk about the other side, which has been easier for him than most. Most people would rather dodge the question, but he really had no reason to. The waitress dropped off two glasses of water as usual. Hirru grabbed the glass and sipped it.
"I... don't remember..."
Trying to remember anything was painful, and even the slightest glimpse has nearly torn his head apart. Though it was painful, he still wanted to find out anything about himself, and his memories.
"I just remember lights and awaking in the Town of Beginnings.. I couldn't move for some reason, and some people helped me get my bearings. They were my first friends, that I know of, but they left a long while ago. Now, I'm looking for them and anything that can help me remember the outside world."

If you're looking for easily soloed quests:
- <<Breaking the Unbreakable>> - A quest with nothing needed other than posting about breaking a huge boulder till a full page. This one bags you an unlocked skill and two SP (1 for quest and 1 for thread) (No mobs so no fear of death)
http://www.sao-rpg.com/topic/440-breaking-the-unbreakable/ - <<Secret Medicine of the Forest>> - Literally no prerequisites needed. Just battle a bunch of Nepents until you get a full page and you get a sword, and two SP (1 for quest and 1 for thread) (Care taken not to die as mobs are present)
http://www.sao-rpg.com/topic/190-secret-medicine-of-the-forest/ - <<Earning a Living>> - Nothing really needed for this one either. Just gather Materials until you're satisfied. Full page needed, and boom! You have yourself a profession to make Col on, a shop to create and sell at, extra Mats, and 2 SP (1 for quest and 1 for thread) (Fighting Mobs for Mats are optional)
http://www.sao-rpg.com/topic/6380-â«earning-a-livingâ»/
Those are the three easiest that anyone ever does anymore. There are more easy ones that can net you some good items, but I haven't really looked into them as much.

Hirru grasped Vasth hand in a hearty shake.
"You can call me, Hirru. Nice to meet you too."
It's hard to find many friendly people in this world. Not many of those would carry a complete stranger to a room and let him sleep. Hirru smiled as they made their way down to the tavern and sat at a table. At least it wasn't someone that wanted to kill him. That would be bad.
A waiter came up to them in the normal NPC fashion as they had sat down, causing the NPC to have its flag activated. Instantly, Hirru blurted out.
"Two orders of the special!"
"Sir, its morning."
"Two orders of the regular!"
-
Hirru turned to find that someone had walked up to him while his were glued to the entrance. He saw a gruff looking individual speaking to him in a no-nonsense manner of speak. He found himself having to look up at the tall man before he could answer in kind.
"Well, I guess we can party up as this will be problematic if we don't."
He nodded to the warrior before another came into view. This one looked like any of the other players that have re-started their adventure within Aincrad. This one actually introduced themselves as Beoreson before requesting a party with us. Hirru smiled as he looked on at Beoreson standing at ease. He winced a little when that caused a sharp pain through his left eye. He quickly shook it off before speaking towards them.
"Welcome, Beoreson and you as well. My name is Hirru. It is a pleasure to meet you both, but it would keep me at ease if we get one more in here. This place could be the next step to our further goals or our final end, if we do not plan accordingly."
((I'm loving how the current party has all characters of some military experience))

Labyrinth of the First Floor
The first step towards freedom that the front-liners passed months before. A harrowing tower of immense proportions, though, not as big as Aincrad herself. The grey-ish white tower that ascended up towards the ceiling which doubled as the beginning of the second floor. The contents of which gave the denizens of Aincrad the fear that they would never leave this forsaken world.
Months ago, the denizens of Aincrad faced the Floor Boss and have since went on to defeat the next ten floors. Currently on the 11th floor, denizens await the felling of the next boss. Victory will be secured for all, and everyone will be freed from this madness.
In the meantime, a lone warrior stood before the entrance to the first floor labyrinth. Looking into the entrance to it, he could feel the danger inside. Something in his mind told him to run away, but he stood his ground.
This was his chance to continue on the right path.
This was his next step to freedom.

"Not that I know of.. I don't think it was much. Maybe I was just experimenting on something. I do that sometimes."
It was true, as Hirru needed to find out what else could trigger his memories. He tried fighting the mobs and that gave a little bit of his memories, so he continues that as much as he can. He also had some strong instances while interacting with people, so he has tried to talk to as many people as possible. It hasn't gone that well, especially when something painful comes up.
"Don't worry about it! It seemed like a failure anyway."
He scratched his head in embarrassment and went over to the door.
"Come on! I'll treat ya to breakfast!"
-
Hirru looked at his meat and pulled off the grill what should be beef. Placing it in his mouth, it tasted like beef. It even tasted like old boot, dunno how he could have recalled that taste, but it came to his mind. Swallowing the weird food, he picked up another and took a bite out of it.
Thinking about what Xion said, some thoughts came to his mind. He swallowed what was in his mouth before speaking.
"Well, there are many ways to get to a destination, but from what I know, there are only two methods."
He pulled open his menu and looked at his map. Sure enough, there was a main road leading towards Tolbana from Horunka, and then there was the woods in between.
"Well, there is the road leading between Horunka village and Tolbana. It's the main passage between them, but that is also where I've been getting attacked lately. The second option is going straight through the woods towards Tolbana."
Hirru took another thing of meat and threw it in his mouth, not caring about the taste anymore. Chewing a little before swallowing it.
"That way is more mysterious, since the woods hides more monsters than there are out in the fields. I've also heard of traps hidden in the brush. We would have to be very careful with going through there."
After all the food was done, the waitress came back to collect the plates, but not before giving the check.
"50 Col each? That's not so bad."

I had to sit down for a second before realizing that the pup was looking at me.
"Sorry, I don't have anything to eat unless you like week old bread."
I barked back in response before starting to sniff the ground around the area. It then stopped before sniffing the air. Its ears drooped before walking back into the forest.
"Hmm that was weird, was it looking for something? Oh well, nothing is ever easily gained."
Speaking of which, I had to get back to the family. I finally had the key ingredient and could get this thing over with. I walked back to the village to collect my due.
**************************************
I opened the door to find the mother sitting by the fire. She immediately stood up and walked towards me.
"Did you get the ovume?"
"Yes, I did."
I said as I opened my inventory to pull out what looked like a small ovular object. I placed it in the awaiting hands of the woman and she immediately walked over to the pot. Smoke spurted from the contents, and after a few minutes of stirring was done. The mother filled a cup with the golden mixture, and walked to the door where another session of coughing came from. As she opened the door, I could see the child in bed as the mother fed them the medicine.
As I watched, I felt like this was very familiar. It felt like a sense of nostalgia, as if I had lived this before. Was this a glimpse into my childhood? I could see what seemed like my own mother from her. The concern and care for her sickened young child as they lay helpless in bed. Her soothing voice calming my every nerve.
"Mom... I"
"Excuse me?"
I was pulled back into reality when the mother had finally finished. The child was no longer coughing and the golden question mark was back over her head. She bowed slightly before looking me in the eyes with a smile.
"Thank you, adventurer! Without you, my child would have succumbed to the illness. It is not much, but ever since my father passed i had no need for this. Please, take this blade with you on your adventures. May it serve you well."
She held up a fine looking sword seemed much better than my current sword. A prompt immediately came up that had information about the completed quest. The sword immediately disappeared from her hands and into my inventory. I smiled as I waved goodbye.
"I had just save a family"
Quest Complete!

[ID 26717] Did me and this pup just super-slam these two Nepents?
[Hirru = 10] Crit + 2
[Flower Nepent ( 9-1 )= 8] Crit + 1
[Dire Wolf Pup (CD) = 12] Crit + 2
As I lunged forward, I could see the pup doing the same. Both of my weapon and the air around it were glowing. Our attacked hit their marks perfectly. It was as if we were in sync.
The two nepents screeched one last time, and vanished into a cloud of light particles. The pup, once growling, just sat down and scratched itself. I don't know if it was a threat or not, but it did help me.
"Thank you, little one. I'll be on my leave now."
I said as a prompt told me of the one nepent that I killed. Shame that I couldn't kill them all and get the experience. Though, apparently I did get enough to get to the next level. Level 9 and the quest item <<Nepent Ovume>>.
"Finally, we can save her family!"

The wolf pup howled out loud which somehow killed off the nepent it was fighting. It was fairly loud, but its attack range must have been proximity, because it did not harm myself or the other two nepents. As I was distracted, the flowered one cut me across my chest. I leaped back from my earlier position to catch my breath.
From the way things were looking, I needed to kill off the flowered one before the pup gets to it, if I wanted to finish this mission.

Hirru scooted himself to the side of the bed and bent over while shaking his head. He remembered that much, but what about before that. What made him drink so much? He...
"I.. don't know. Something must of snapped for that to happen. I don't normally drink, or I think I don't."
Getting up, Hirru stretched as far as he could. Though the euphoria of releasing such tension in the body wasn't there, he could still imagine that it was there. It felt great.
"So what are you out here for? If you don't mind me asking, that is. Not many people stop at Horunka. They usually complete the only quest here and move on."

After a while of fighting, I began to tire easily. Maybe it was from the long day, or from the pressure of multiple enemies, or the pup doing half a health bars full of damage. Either way, it was not something that made everything miss their targets. A weird battle, this was.

My next attack would have hit, if I wasn't distracted by the Nepent that started coming after me. A large red flash grew from behind it, and its health flashed. It immediately turned attention to the pup again, as if it did the damage.
I stepped back a bit to access what to do next. This entire situation was out of control. Too many Nepent, and an over-powered pup. What next? I'm going to grow my arm back out of thin air? What a laugh!

Hirru looked this warrior up and down. He would be certain that this person would be very helpful in times to come. For now, he was a little curious on what happened.
"Well, I would feel better if I knew how I got in here. This might be a story that I don't want to hear, but what happened last night?"
It was a genuine question of concern. He didn't want to think that he did anything stupid last night. Neither did he want to think that this person was a bad person either. Something about this guy looked like he could be trusted, though, that is everyone that Hirru meets.

Blade a-glow; I struck the flowered one once more and moved aside. The Nepent wouldn't move, as if stunned. I looked onwards towards the pup. It was too busy dodging from the whip like attacks of the Nepents. At least, it was able to dodge. That would have been a problem if not.
"Don't worry little one! We've got this!"

This time around wasn't as good, as I missed my target and fell to the side. Luckily, I fell away from the coming attack.
The pup hit again, yet was battered by small cuts. This wasn't looking good at all. Something had to be done, or else we both were dead.

Another well placed hit cleaved through the flowered one. I stepped back enough, but the flowered nepent didn't follow through. I had to keep going.
The wolf on the other hand was taking a beating. It took out quite a bit of HP from the next nepent that it fought, but it was getting hit for more damage than that. How was it still alive by now?

What else was I supposed to do? I went in to attack the first Nepent, but something in my head said not to. Just then a sweeping claw animation from the pup, that looked bigger than it was, appeared causing one Nepent to instantly shatter.
"What in the world are you?"
I question the pup who continues its growling. Seeing that it probably had everything under control, I went after the only flower in sight. I ran forward and stuck the flowered one with a glancing strike.
In the mean time, the rest of the Nepents started their assault on the pup. Many blows went into it, but only 1 made a scratch. From what I could tell, this wolf pup wasn't an ordinary enemy.

I lunged forward with my final act, but I missed it completely. I watched as the last petal fell from it, and became a fruit. Thankfully, I didn't hit it so it didn't alert the others. I simply ran away from the Nepent until I was far enough to de-aggro the creature. I sighed as I struggled to figure out what was wrong. Was it my arm? Was I not strong enough? Maybe I needed to train more?
I slowly walked away before a yipping came to my ear. I turned around to find a Dire Wolf Pup growling at the fruit nepent. I didn't know that they could spawn here. Shrugging my shoulders, I turn to continue walking when I hear a screech before the sound of something dying. Poor thing must have died.
Wait.. that wasn't the sound of a dying wolf. That was a Nepent!
Looking back, the pup was growling towards a group of nepents. From them, I could see a few flowers coming from them. If I wanted to, I could take advantage of this and kill a flowered one while the rest are distracted, or I could defend to pup so that it could survive.
The choices were in place.
What was I to do?

Kicking off the ground, I grit my teeth as I hug the blade to my side pointing onwards. <<Rage Spike>> I rush forward with blade glowing orange, I slash upward once in front of the Nepent causing a fair amount of damage, but the cooldown gives it enough time to hit me while I'm still. Another petal fell from the creature and I felt that I had no time left.

Hirru didn't really know what to do with this one. He has met many players in his time adventuring, but all of them were at least experienced fighters by then. This one flat out said that she was new. It was to this regard that he had to help her out. Not just as an act of kindness, but his sensei did the same for him.
"Well, you can start by fighting a boar out there."
Hirru sighed before turning towards the plains and spotting some boars. He pointed at a few of them.
"They are like slimes in other games, or that's what everyone says. Fairly easy for your level like you."
