Ryuma_

Ryuma had been taken aback by how much damage the boar had done to him already. Was he going to die this early on in the game?! He had then heard Koumori's words and nodded. "Got it!" Im not giving up … not now, not ever! He had then readied his blade for one more attack, allowing it to charge back up for another attack.

(ID: 36731, BD: 9, CD: 11, LD: 3, MD: 7, Koumori: 64/64, Ryuma: 2/8, Boar: 1/4, Energy: 0/2)

He had launched forward once more to strike the boar for another hit. As he hit it, its health had dropped down to the red and a small hud appeared that said,

Ryuma had been surprised by how effective his attack had been. Sadly though, the hit wasn't enough to kill the beast. Damnit! One more hit and it would have been over.. He had been disappointed that he didnt kill the beast, but ended up changing his mood quickly as the boar had charged at him once more! His eyes had went wide as he had been struck by the boar, and sent to the ground. He had 2 life left and wasnt going to give up now!

He had slightly raised one of his eyebrows as he had never thought of doing this. "Thats actually a pretty good idea. Are you okay with spending time with someone like me though? I tend to get involved with some pretty interesting people." He lets out a slight laugh and slides his two fingers downwards, pulling up his menu. He then clicks the befriend option and sends the friend request to Shizua. 

A small screen then appears before the girl:

"To be honest with you, I wouldn't doubt it… But don't try and think about things like that! Its best to think of their deaths as a reason to continue onwards and beat this game so that others won't have to face the same fate. Also, I think a one handed spear in a good choice. Its always good to attack your opponent from a ranged area. Just be careful with where you swing that thing." He then laughed a bit, trying to lighten the mood. "Would you like to sit and talk a bit Shizua? Its always helpful and relaxing to try and enjoy yourself without thinking of all of the fears of the game."

Ryuma smiled as the two had remised over the same person. With a smile on his face, he glanced at her and couldn't help but blush a bit more. She's a really nice person … I don't wanna upset her. "Is he really? He is a pretty amazing guy huh?" He then let out a small laugh before staring back up at the sky above. "We have a lot in common for when it comes to him huh..? When I was here, my world had already been in shatters. I have been depressed my entire life but have never been happier since I've come here. Koumori must be a guardian angel that just comes and goes around helping people in need.. I wish I could be like that." He had then began to think about what it would be like if he were able to go around and help people like that, his eyes now seeming distant since he is daydreaming.

Ryuma had scratched his head and laughed a little. "Well they are the lowest level monsters and definitely the weakest but … Lets just say that it hard to fight them at your current level. I almost lost my life in my first battle against a boar and I was your level!" He had then placed a hand on a shoulder and smiled. "But don't you worry Shizua because i'll help you fight against these beasts. Also! I have a one handed dagger. Everyone has their own personal preference though so if you feel comfortable with the weapon you have, then I suggest keeping it and learning how to use it." He kept a smile on his face the entire time so that he could help her feel better and to get her to relax.

He had smiled a rather large and charming smile when she had said that he could show her around sometime. This smile had quickly turned into a look of embarrassment as she questioned the blush on his cheeks. While rubbing the back of his head embarrassingly with his eyes closed, he said, "N-no no no I'm alright I swear! Hahaha.." He knew he had been making a fool of himself and decided to stop before his embarrassment grew worse. While staring down at the ground with a smile on his face and embarrassment in his eyes, he stated, "I honestly have only been in one battle so far and I almost died… If it wasn't for Koumori, I would have died…" He reminisced over the day that he had met Koumori, since that was the day that his life had truly changed.

Ryuma had raised an eyebrow as he hears that she hasn't fought yet. Of course, he himself had just learned how to fight not so long ago, but it still surprised him nonetheless. "Would you like some help then Shizua?" He then looks at her level and tilts his head sideways. "You may not want to fight them considering you level, but I can still try and help you nonetheless."

Ryuma had realized that he had been blatantly staring at the man and has now been caught! 'Wow this is embarrassing!!!' He had seemed kind of unsettled now that he had been called out on for staring at the man. He took a deep bow and with this said, "M-my apologies sir! I had noticed you on this bench and saw how amazing your amor was and, an-!" He had then realized how much of a fool he must have seemed like right now. He had then stood straight once more and hung his head slightly in shame. "My sincerest apologies sir. I know that I may have seemed rude or creepy just staring at you the way I had but I truly think that your armor is crafted magnificently… May I ask who crafted it for you?"

(OOC: Its fine :3)

Ryuma had smiled as she asked to sit next to him. The blush he had on earlier had faded by now as he pat on the ground beside him. "Why not at all. It's nice to meet you Shizuka. I am Ryuma, a rather new player to the game. S-so this is your first time outside of the safe zone? I take it that you haven't been in battle yet then?" He had raised an eyebrow as he asked the question and then leaned back a bit, his arms resting on the ground while holding him up. "Guess you also haven't seen very much of the scenery then… That sucks. Maybe I can show you around some time, if you'd like.." As he said this, the blush came back slightly, since in the real world he wasnt allowed to even spend time with other people, let alone beautiful girls such as her. He tried to hide the blush as much as possible but there was no way to mask it entirely.

While analyzing the area, a girl had come into his field of vision. It was so odd how women have been popping up out of nowhere lately. Seeing as how the girl had been standing in front of him, he had placed his dagger back into its sheathe. Otherwise, he may have ended up striking her on accident. He was still shy when it came to new people so he quietly walked on over towards the girl and tapped the back of her shoulder. "H-hi… Im Ryuma. Is everything alright ma'am?"

Ryuma had heard someone speak out to him and had been quite surprised by it. He jumped a little in fear but remained where he was, showing almost no indication of his fear. He had turned around to see who it had been that spoke to him, and noticed that it had been a beautiful young woman about his age. She had long flowing red hair and gorgeous red eyes. Just the sight of her had caused him to blush slightly. "N-nothing much. J-just enjoying the beautiful scenery… W-what about you?"

Ryuma had still been on his way to the shop, before stopping as he had realized a man sitting down on a bench nearby. This man was completely decked out in armor and it was apparent that he was far stronger than any noob. His eyes had gone wide as he had been admiring the mans armor. "Wow…" He didnt mean to stare at the man as obviously as he had done, but the armor that the man wore was just simply … amazing!

Ryuma had blushed slightly and rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly. "I.. I cant. I don't have any sword skills…" He had been extremely embarrassed since he wasnt able to go against the beast in the way that he had wanted, but he was at least going to try and fight this creature. "H-how about this?" 

(ID: 36703, BD: 6, CD: 11, LD: 6, MD: 7, Koumori: 64/64, Ryuma: 5/8, Boar: 3/4, Energy: 1/2)

Ryuma had launched himself forward towards the boar and cut the beast on its side, causing a red slash to appear on the beast's skin, and it's health to drop to the three. >>Hit Successful<<

After he had successfully landed his hit, the boar had become infuriated. It charged towards him and struck him with a block that took three damage onto  Ryuma's health, bringing it down to the color yellow.

Ryuma had decided that if he was going to go out and protect those that he had come to care about, that he was going to have to get stronger. In order for him to do this, he was going to have to train his ass off. This training had led him back out to the grasslands in which he found himself around a lot lately. He had a determined look in his eyes as he held his dagger in his hands firmly, while analyzing the area so that he could find a way to get an advantage in this situation.

Ryuma had decided that for now, it would be best to try and clear more land. The better he ended up knowing this place, the easier it would be for him to have the upper hand in a fight against an npc. He had currently been relaxing in the lush green grass that covered the fields outside of starting city. There had been several boars around the area, but they weren't going to just attack him for no reason. The sun had been setting, leaving the sky and a marvelous orange tone.

He had been staring into the sky with a smile on his face. He loved when he was able to just relax and take in the scenery. It was just one of the many reasons why he didn't want to end up going back to the real world. "It is so beautiful outside. I wish I could see this marvelous sight for the rest of my lifetime." 

Ryuma had finally finished his training with Koumori and decided to try and make a living for himself. He had wanted to explore the area a bit more before moving onto higher floors, considering its safest to level up and get to know the area before hand. He had been exploring the first floor for awhile now and somehow ended up back in Beginning City. "How do I keep on ending up here? No matter which direction I take, I somehow end up back here…" He lets out a small sigh before he finally thinks of a brilliant idea. "Thats it! I can just buy a map that would be able to help me find my way around here." With this, he ended up walking towards the nearest merchant shop that he could find.

Ryuma had loosened the grip that he had on the dagger. "Y-your right… Im sorry for getting ahead of myself." He then let out a sigh and places his dagger back into its sheathe beneath his kimono. "S-so, whenever your ready, just go out and take care of them. I'll watch from here and follow suit after watching you." After saying this, he began to simply twirl around his dagger while watching Koumori's every move intently so that he can learn how he fights.

Ryuma had finally arrived at the fields of floor one, along side Koumori. The fields had been covered in mobs of wolves that covered most of the area. His eyes had gone wide in shock as he had seen so many wolves all gathered together in one place. Sure they had just been creatures that spawned in this desired area, but there had been so many of them that he couldn't help but be surprised. "Wooooooow, there is so many!!!" He had been so excited to see all of the boars and ready to begin his training. A passionate look had come into his eyes as he had gripped the hilt of his dagger tighter. "So how should I proceed?"

Ryuma had raised an eyebrow at the man when he had rudely laughed in his face. Did he say something funny? Oh well. "That may be so, but I will never learn if I don't try right? Anyways, we should try and do some things around here to get stronger. I don't wanna leave this place …. but others do! And that is why we should give it our all to make sure that they can get out of here!!!" His tone had been full of passion and inside he had felt this way too, but he didnt wish to leave the game. For now though, he would just give his all to help and hopefully change for the better as things progress.

Ryuma had considered this advice and took it into consideration. "That makes sense… Thank you very much Koumori!" He had a rather large smile on his face, which had been quite rare for him indeed. Then suddenly, an idea had come to his head. He had opened up his menu and went to items. He had then equipped his dagger and threw it into the air. "Shall we try and have a little duel then, so that we can see how useful I am with a blade?" After he had asked this, the blade had came back down and landed into his hands. "Or should we go and train a bit against some creatures?"

Ryuma had been admiring Koumori's sword as he had spoke to him. "Well that certainly is an interesting way to fight. I think speed sounds good for me as well. Would you be willing to give me tips of getting up and personal while staying safe and protected? I think that it could really come in help when I have to fight." He had been speaking wit excitement and yet he had some fear hidden beneath the words that he spoke. He had been trying to keep happy and show Koumori how he can be happy, but something just don't work out as well as he had expected them to.

Ryuma had to actually think about it. Was there anymore advice that he could receive from this man? "Well, I fight with a dagger. Do you think that it could be a good weapon against a boar? Im not very sure of how everything will work with me fighting them since I'm new to the game and all, but I plan on being fast and making my strikes unexpectedly. Do you think it'd be a good plan?" He knows that he had just let out a lot when speaking to the man, and then stopped so he wouldn't bombard him with more questions. He enjoyed talking to this man, surprisingly, so he had no problem asking all kinds of questions.

Ryuma had listened to his words carefully and began to think about everything that h head been saying. His thoughts ended up causing so many conflicting emotions to awaken inside of him, his heart beginning to go a flutter. Was Koumori right or would he just end up getting himself killed? Being a hero sounds amazing and all but you never know what will happen until it does. What if he goes back to the real world but ends up having to go back to his terrible life without any change in himself? His mind had been full of questions and he had no idea what any of the answers were. "Y-your right … I should at least try and make a change in myself if I want things to change for me. I won't give up!" He had felt a weird feeling that he hadn't felt in a very long time. Was this confidence? Well, whatever it was, he had known that he had definitely missed this feeling.

Ryuma had been pretty interested in this topic and everything that Koumori had been informing him on. "Don't worry about okay? I honestly and glad to hear about all of this since it helps me understand this place better. There is only one problem though … What if I don't want to leave the game..?" Ryuma had been hesitant when asking this question. He understood why others had wanted to leave the game, but he didn't feel the same way as all of the others. To him, the real world was practically a living hell and he had known that if he were to go back, he would be thrown back into disarray. "Im sorry for asking about it … I just don't wish to go back to the real world … I can be a truly amazing person here, but…" With this, he had cut himself short. He didn't want to nag this man on with his own problems. "I-im sorry … P-please just forget about what I had been saying."

Ryuma had followed Koumori throughout the crowd and through all the sharp little turns and cutting of corners until they had came to a small cafe. He had seen Koumori sit down and decided to follow suit by sitting next to him. "That's a good question actually. What exactly is going on here and how can I stay alive until the end? I've heard of groups of people getting together and fighting against these so called floor bosses. What are floor bosses? Are they hard to fight?" Ryuma had been full of question but didnt wanna put to much on Koumori
