Alex

The hit landed perfection-ably and the wolf stumbled back for a moment, but quickly got the memo. Alex wanted him dead. And the wolf wanted Alex dead. There could only be one victor here..... The wolf charged at Alex, scratching at his face. Alex stumbled back too, realizing a wild wolf scratching your eye did not actually assimilate real pain. Alex kicked the wolf back, and with his dagger, activated Armor Pierce once more. I will kill you, you stupid wolf!!! The hit was a hyper critical, destroying the wolf in the hit. Alex loved these Sword Skills, every time he used one he seemed to hit his mark more often. Alex watched the crystals fade beautifully away, then the loot screen appeared. Alex closed the loot screen, turned around, and walked toward town.

Alex decided he would fight one more monster before heading back to the inn. But, as Alex looked around, there weren't very many monsters near him. Maybe they got the memo, that Alex was not someone to be toyed with. And it was true, Alex would slay all those mobs that dare stand in his way. Alex began to jog around, searching for wolves or boars or something, when in the distance, Alex saw a wolf, doing the same thing the last one was, pacing around, thinking. Why???? Alex crept up to it again, then very very very loudly screamed "Armor Pierce!" And then Alex's body simulated the lunge like motion, With Alex just watching his body as it did so.

Alex smiled as the lot screen came up once more, telling Alex he had received his first bit of col ever and a material.This time wolf pelt. Once again, Alex put his loot away, and would wait for his energy and HP to come back before engaging in combat. But this time, Alex saw something under his feet, in  the dirt, and wondered what it was. He bent down to look closer. But the shiny object was nothing, just a little reflection off the sun, telling Alex he needed to hurry up before the horde of players come out to fight mobs. Alex didn't want to be there then.... That's also when the bad people come out to kill those ones who come out to fight those mobs.

Alex looked at the player that said he had bumped into someone and was apologizing. The guy held out his hand, and it didn't seem to be to anyone in particular. So Alex took the guys hand and shook it, saying, "I'm Alex! And you are?" Alex smiled as he talked to the guy, that he might actually be making friends. As he waited for a response, Alex thought about how eager he was to use his sword skills in combat. Alex loved them. They were simply amazing. And Alex couldn't wait to show the party that he uses a dagger, because he did not believe it was a common thing to use a dagger. 

(OOC: Couldn't think anything else up, just wanted to move the OP along, sorry! )

Alex so wished he had enough energy to use one of the other rank one skills. The Round Accel Sword seems pretty awesome but you need four energy to use it. And Side Bite requires two, so Alex was stuck with either A: Attacking the enemy in one hit any way he like, or B: Using Armor Pierce. And Armor Pierce was pretty cool, so of course Alex decided on the Sword Art. His fourth time using the sword art today. His blade seemed to glow a dark green color when he used the sword art though, Alex realized the last time he used Armor Pierce. Now Alex wanted to see if the blade always dd that while activating that Sword Art.

As Alex continued to walk around, he finally spotted what he was looking for. Alex glared at the wolf. It was just walking around, as if waiting for some player to startle it. The weird thing was that the wolf wasn't chasing down some sort of pray. it was just standing there, walking back and forth, like what a human would do while in deep thought. But Alex knew this would be a good chance to strike with his dagger. And since Armor Pierce was the only skill he could use, Alex used it. As he activated the skill, Alex began to get overcome with excitement. He loved sword arts. And-with the wolf not looking- The sword skill began it's initial movement. The hit landed, deplating the wolf's life into the red zone, and the wolf quickly lashed out at Alex in anger.

Alex smiled once again as the crystals all floated up, and up, and up, until they were no longer visible. Alex had just fought off his first monster. That made him pretty happy. Alex latched up his dagger and began to walk around, waiting for his health to repair itself before engaging in combat again. Alex did not feel like taking any risky situations. But then a little notification screen popped up in Alex's face, the loot screen. And Alex had gotten pretty lucky. He had found a "Crimson Dagger" and a material after slaying the boar. Alex equipped the dagger and put the old blade back into his inventory, along with the material(A boar hide). That made Alex happy, that he had found that. He walked and then looked up, to see the sun had finally risen, and to see his energy count had regenerated and so had his health. Time for some more hunting, Alex said to himself.

Item Quality: Uncommon

Item Enhancements: I Accuracy

Item Type: Dagger

As Alex regained control of his body, Alex noticed how much damage the skill had dealt to the boar. Wow. That- The boar quickly came up and rammed into Alex, getting health lost for the first time in his trip to Sword Art Online. Well that hurt. Alex noticed he still had three quarters of his health left. Hah! Think that will beat me, you stupid boar? Think again! The boar attempted another ram at Alex, but once again his shield was there to deflect the boar, knocking it back once more. And now Alex continued to think about how cool sword arts are, as he activated Armor Pierce once more at the boar, hopefully to finish it off. Once again, Alex's body controlled itself, lunging at the boar. Alex loved the sensation of sword arts.

Alex was getting fed up with missing. He spat at the floor then stared at the boar a bit. This boar... It must have some sort of intelligence to be able to dodge my incoming attacks. Huh........ Alex quickly blocked an attack from the boar with his shield, the boar easily deflected by the small kite shield. Alex then opened his sword arts screen and looked down into the Dagger section. There were three options for him to choose from at his rank in daggers, but his energy count at level one was only high enough for one of them. Quickly Alex selected the skill Armor Pierce and then felt a weird sensation, as his body was not controlled by him anymore, as his body and dagger moved themselves, lunging forward at the boar.

Alex glared at the boar, knowing how weak it really was supposed to be. You are the one that's gonna die here, boar. It's not gonna be me.  Alex's shield blocked a quick ram attack from the boar, and Alex used the shield to knock the boar back a couple of feet. Than Alex leaped at the boar, attempting to slam the dagger down at the boar. Think twice about engaging in combat with me, boar.  But then Alex thought to himself, Well, it was actually I who engaged you in combat. But you will die all the same. The attack missed once again.

Alex gave the boar a deep glare, before charging at it with quick speed, going to knock it's legs down to momentarily immobilize the boar to give Alex a nice chance to attack the boar. And Alex knew he could do it; There was a piece of his gut, heart, and brain telling him he could. Alex's dagger slashed out in a quick and easy stroke at the boar's leg, going to take the boar down. The dagger was pulling Alex it seemed, as if Alex had a leash on him, and the dagger went quickly at the boar. Alex dodged quickly to the right then took the strike when he got the chance.

But the attack missed and Alex quickly got back into the fight, not thinking too much about the missed hit.

As Alex ran outside of the gate with his pride, he looked up. The sun was slowly rising. Pretty soon, these fields closer to the city would be filled with the few players that would decide to raid it. Of course, there were some players that played it safe. They trained here day and night, but never went a floor higher or anything. And it seemed alright to do so, but eventually you should go up to the next floor. Alex smiled brightly, as his walk soon became a jog, in no certain direction at all. Alex just wanted to fight some boar, and quick. And Alex did find the boar, and it was quick. It's purple skin, glowing red eyes, bulky legs. It was not enough to take down Alex's pride yet. Not yet. Alex smiled once again and said, "You have just made the worst decision of your life. Hanging out in a place where I could get to you. Now die, little piggy. Die a horrible death to the Star-Blazed Warrior. "

Alex pulled out his dagger and his shield as he walked through the town, trying to stay unseen. Alex, for the most part, had been doing pretty well at that since the games beginning. He walked, noticing tons upon tons of noobs, but Alex had to remember, Alex had no right to make fun of them, for he was a noob as well. Every once in a while lex would notice a higher leveled player, but not very often at all. Alex continued walking, until he got to the gate. Dawn was just breaking, and Alex was ready for a pretty awesome day of fighting, and maybe even some exploration. So he ran out of the gate with pride on his face, as he knew there was no way he wouldn't succeed now. This varsity cross country runner and coding prodigy would last in this game, and he knew it. And right now, Alex felt it more than ever.

Alex got up from his bed. In his default PJ's, he walked over to the night stand in his room. The inn he was staying at was a free one, and a lot of people stayed there. The roof had to be over 30 stories tall, he told himself. Everyone once in a while Alex would take a visit to the roof, and jot down notes from the birds formation in the game. And then, in several different languages, Alex figured out how you would produce that image on a computer screen, just to keep the gears turning in his brain from day to day, to keep his mind from rotting in this game. The whole point in his trip to Japan was to learn more about coding from the game, and his stay was supposed to be about a year long. But Alex had a feeling, a probably correct one, that they would be stuck in this game for much longer than a year if they didn't die by then. 

Alex loved the game. He would be the top player in the game if the fear of dying wasn't in his head. But then recently, Alex had been thinking, if you were just gonna be scared the whole time, there's really nothing to enjoy. Besides, people don't realize it, but there's just as many dangers in the real world. Just this world was cooler... Less people.... And swords.... Pretty  awesome? So why was Alex closed up on floor one....

Alex slammed down a notebook he had been writing in, then looked forward and smiled. "Today is a new day!" The door was slammed behind Alex, as he left the inn with determination.

It was easy to tell that the blonde girl and the dark haired guy had a bit of a past together. It was for sure they had seen each other before, but Alex felt there was a bit more depth.... No matter. What really disturbed Alex was the fact that the girl had called him "human", as if referring herself like something greater than a human.  As if! Alex thought to himself. These high level players over here are much greater than you, yet you feel you can just call other people just "humans"? As if! Where do you think you got this right, girl? Alex then let that thought pass by, and decided to send the party invite.

Only if he knew how. " Umm soo guys, wanna try our hand at an easy exploring party? It would be fun, right? Do we all agree that it would be fun?" Alex looked at the two players that had arrived after he had asked the question originally. Also noobs. "Right guys?" Then Alex looked back to the two higher leveled players, saying: "Thank you if you do party with us. It means a lot. I mean, I've applied for a guild and all, but haven't done anything basically yet.... It is an honor for you to let us train with you. Thank you."

Alex needed to get out of his hiding and such. Hiding for these players, and not leveling, will probably cause a worse death than dying to these mobs out here. People will find ways to kill players in safe zones, and they will make laws and society here, and Alex had no intention of being part of that. Not one at all. So Alex jogged down through the streets of the starting city, carrying around his dagger as he made his way through the crowded and large town. In Alex's off-hand, his right hand, was his small Griffin Hide Kite Shield, the Shield the guild had generously given to him. 

The Crimson Blades seemed like the right place for Alex to be when he joined the guild. And it still does seem that way. The guild may not have very many active events right now, but Alex felt some day that the guild would be more active. But now was not the time. As Alex continued to jog around, he found a gathering of a few players and a littel animal of some sort. There were two females(not to mention one being blonde) and a male, but they all looked high level... Well at least gear-wise. Alex figured this would be a good chance to make some friends and walked up to the players. "Would you guys, you know, like to party with me maybe?" Alex smiled as he asked.

It is gonna take me forever to adjust to these changes! But I love the changes.

Wow your building a PC? Awesome Erron!

Yo! I'm working on a really cool text based rp game using a console application using C++! But I have a huge question. Say I wanted to edit a variable when A player does something.

So like the player opens the application for a bit, but then gets off for a while and wants to save his game before he exits so he can go back where he left off. I was wondering, how would you save a variable to the computer(Or like in a separate file) and then read it on the boot up of the application next time he gets on? 

THANKS FOR ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS! I NEED IT!

Alex couldn't help but notice the dude's hair. Alex actually kind of wished he had hair like that, that flew in the wind. "So, umm, are you in a guild? I'm in the Crimson Blades. It really is a fun guild." Alex watched as Blue attempted to fix his hair. "So your Blue? Reminds me of the really old games I played. What was it now? errr--- Pokemon! That's what it was. I had a pretty nice Dragon team on that one game.... I think it was Soul Silver, with a pretty awesome Altaria leading the team. None of my friends could find a way to beat. me. " Then Alex realized that this guy may have never even played Pokemon before, especially since how old of a game it was. "You've played Pokemon before, right?"

(OOC: I'm guessing your controlling the MD and the boars attack then?)

(OOC: I'm not the best at detailed attacks in combat....XD)

"Alrighty....." Alex looked at the boar intenlty and studied it's movement. which was easier than ever with the argo of the boar on Xion. as it got really angry at Xion, Alex tried to hatch a plan in his head. Alright....... The boar began to run at Xion, and Alex flipped over towards it with his dagger revealed, and attempted to land an uppercut. But the strike missed, and Alex got right back onto the boar,  flipped his dagger around, with the blade side pointed downward. this time, Alex attempted to do whatever you call an uppercut but down instead of up. And the hit landed clean, pushing the boar back a few inches from the impact as well.

What the heck. Did this guy.....Just.... approach me? Wow. That's surprising. The first time in my life someone has approached me..... instead of me trying to start a conversation and ending up miserably..... Alex thought to himself, staring at Blue for a couple of minutes. Oh crap... I could have just ruined the moment by staring for so long. After about two minutes of staring at Blue, Alex finally got his head out of the clouds. "Oh! Umm.... Sorry.... I zone out a lot...." Alex quivered in his nervousness. Alex stop it..... Stop ruining your chance at a decent friend in life. "I'm Alex. I haven't exactly gone out much, but when I have, I have usually met someone else or met someone before I left. I..... don't know what that's considered, because it;s not a party technically if you meet the people while your out eploring right, or????" Alex stop being an idiot. your. RUINING. IITTTT! "Umm yah sorry, I'm Alex and I'm 14 and level 5. Sorry for zoning out. " That might work a little better Alex.

Alex sat down by Takao then thought for about two minutes before replying. "Yah, " Alex sighed, "I like a couple of quotes similar to one but there's this one.... If you try to be like him, who will be like you? I always think about it. It's not like the quote is a big deal, but it's just that I never feel that I'm really being myself. I really have diverted too much from the real Alex... I honestly have no idea who I really am anymore....." Alex sighed once more as he pulled out a bottle of water, and began to chug it down. Right afterward, Alex pulled out the tasteless, stale tasting bread provided to every player in Sword Art Online. "If you don't mind me asking, what level are you bro?"

"Ah that's really cool!" Alex said excitedly. he hoped someday he would be wearing the full attire. Alex noticed as well that they were nearing the edge of the gates. Okay Alex........ This is your chance to prove yourself.... To prove that you belong IN THIS GUILD! Alex thought to himself, nervously. so nervous, he even pulled out a water bottle and drank half of it. From now on, I will not be know as a coward, I will be known as a member.... Of the Crimson Blades! I kinda hope they have some kind of cook to make me some alfredo though......  Once they finally made it all the way to the gate, Alex looked up at Xion. "Where to, bro?"
