Ace9

Red began to walk backwards, and then turned around. In front of Red stood one of the normal wolves in the wild of floor 1. It looked at Red with it's gleaming Red eyes and bigger body told Red that this was no ordinary wolf. As the wolf stepped closer, the bigger body got even more apparent. It's hide was also much thicker than a normal wolf. Although, it did not look like a werewolf. So it must have been some type of Wolf night mini-boss. As the wolf thing stepped closer, it identified itself as "Night's Dusk Guardian". Red smiled, and pulled out his Cupid's Arrow. "You obviously have a death wish, wolfie!"

Red heard a shift in the leaves behind him, awaking him from his thought. Red walked over to see what the disturbance was, and slowly began to wonder again, was it possible for werewolves to be prowling floor 1??? Certainly not. Red pushed the leaves out of the way- to find nothing. Nothing was there. Wait- Yah there was nothing there. Red went to go look around, and noticed that even the eerie wind had silenced. In the distance, red saw a large dog-ish figure walking towards Red, in his direction. As Red watched, the Dog-like figure vanished.

Ebony, his crush that he had only seen two or three times in his life and was only seen on a VRMMO, was a healer. Her friend, Manta Gual, was a Damage dealer. if they could all go high in level they could be a good team. A good boss fighting team. A good team for the frontlines. but the recent battles haven't actual needed a lot of healers. The bosses have been killed too easily by players like Zelrius, the dual wielder, and Tristan Delaney, a freaking awesome tank, from what he had heard. But the bosses are still strong, and they could always come out with some surprise and kill a lot of players. But hopefully that wouldn't happen............

As Red continued to walk, he began to wonder about millions of other things. There was nothing happening around him at the moment, so why not? Some of the things included what started his obsession with Pokemon???? What brought him to this world??? Why is the galaxy the way it is??? But Red had nothing better to do. As Red walked around, the eerie wind seemed to become even more spooky with each step he took. It was like ghosts were watching him. And then Ender began to wonder if it was true that your brain was fried when you died. Eh, he didn't plan on dying though so he cast the thought aside. But if Ebony were to die.....

The sky outside was dark. It was a tad bit spooky, but it would not scare Red off. But as Red looked around, everything felt still. It was weird. Everything besides the grass and eerie wind. The silence was very peculiar. It kinda spooked Red. Red just continued walking. The moon was full, but Red doubt there were werewolves on floor one. Wait, could there be???? Red had never questioned that before. He pondered about it for a while, then decided it would be a pretty stupid MMO with monsters like that appearing on floor one.

Red simply smiled. It was his first time being out in quite a while. He eyed right and eyed left real quickly before exiting the Town of Beginnings, and then took a few steps. He thought about the animation programming that went in to Sword Art Online. Red used old programs like Eclipse and Libgdx to program in his day, but both were very outdated and making animations for games was very very difficult and time consuming. It also was a long process creating the sprites for grass and such. But the 3d modelling for a game like this would be terribly difficult. This Argus group must've been very rich to find - or they just were that good at graphics and programming. 

Immediatlly as Clarence posted it, Red saw it. He was already looking at the bored. Eh? Guess I wouldn't mind gathering some more SP for my armor skill. Let's go! Red showed up by the player who had submitted the request, Clarence. When Red saw him, he definitely looked strong enough to handle the quest on his own. So why did he want help? Red walked up to him and asked, "Are you Clarence???? I came to help out with the Let There be Light quest......" Red looked at the ground. "I'm not all that strong, but I figure I could have some use to you. I plan on being a good tank someday, but for now, I'm stuck gathering SP to actually invest in the skills that would make me a tank." Red smiled. "So? Which way to the cave?" Red had already read all of the original details of the quest, and was prepared  to take it on with this guy. "By the way, my name is Red." Red sent him a party invite, cutting to the gist quickly because he needed to hurry and get the SP.

Completed 

Ebony:

+2 SP, +200 Col, and all other gathered Items.

Red:

+2 SP, +200 Col, + Dragon Bone Cuirass(+1 thorns), and all other gathered items.

Red actually thought it looked kind of..... Pretty. But the problem was, it wasn't ideal for a frontliner, and Red didn't think it was all that tough for it. But Red would hold on to it, for as long as he can, and he would not sell it. It meant a lot to him, a "gift" from Ebony, a girl he liked, alot. And he would hold on to it, as long as he could until he literally HAD to sell it. Red smiled as he began walking back out of the town. "Well, I guess I'll call you when I book us a reservation. Well, I wish you the best on getting the unique!!!!!!!" And Red parted, smiling.

Red found in surprising that he would ask her like that, and found in surprising the answer. a "sure" was the answer. Maybe they could make good friends...... But the way she laughed made it seem kind of awkward. but she laughing... It was probably about the way Red had talked about what was troubling her, then immediately changed the subject completely and entirely. And the way Ebony spoke about the uniques, well, Red felt that way to. His first time in the wild was when the uniuqes first started coming out, and Achilles, a pretty freaking awesome tank skill, had already gotten to a front-liner tank. Eh, but it was okay. There was no way Red was going to be there anytime soon anyways. As Red walked, he tried to think of something else to say, but he could not find any other things that could be a valid attempt at conversation starting. That was what he was worst at, starting conversations. He had to be the worst in the world at it. 

(OOC: Post, and hurry........ I gotta banquet I gotta be at in 25 minutes. Rush hour go go go XD)

I might be down for it. I'll PM you once I find one.    =)      Thanks.

Red waved back, as he walked off two, to go eat some lunch or something. But now, in case he ever wanted to go out and party with him, he could just PM Rag, being they were friends. But that also means that this player could see wherever Red was on the map.... Red didn't know if that was the safest thing to have, but he figured it would be alright. Rag was a nice guy. But maybe, it could've been a disguise.... But then again, it might not have been. Best not to worry about it for now. Best to.......  Red smiled, and waved another time. It really was a good life in here. Both he and Rag saw that.

(OOC: Sorry for the late response, got busy)

Red watched as she quickly put an end to the monsters life. It seemed a bit too quick.... But, Red could live with it. Red would've had to have put two hits in to the beast, but then it would have died. Man but she killed it like it was nothing and just walked off. It seemed as if Ebony was distraught, and had something else on her mind. "Hey, Ebony." Red said. "What's wrong???? Your spirit doesn't seem very far off the ground. What's bugging you?" Red wondered if she would really tell what was on her chest to him, being they had only known each other for about three days. "Hey wanna go out to eat sometime?" It came out of Red's mouth. Just like that. But maybe, hanging out with Red, would give her something. Something that made her not feel that she had to be so quick in what she was doing.

(OOC: In a hurry, so some of my words got lost a bit...... Sorry!)

(Bro you have to get a 15 for a material. 13+1=14.  )

Red continued walking back. "This was a pretty boring walk, but I'm pretty sure that fight we had with those boars earlier may increase our EXP intake later, and level as well, and SP possibly, so it was an okay walk." Red decided it was an okay idea to send this player a friend request. "Man this world is so awesome, dude...... I-It... shows the real you. And with no gun, it makes me happier. Games that are RPG's without guns are a lot better then shooting games." Red decided he was done looking for flowers as they walked, since they were just gonna be molded like the rest.

Red thought for a moment. That wasn't very much to respond to. He looked at the ground for more flowers. But this time, with him wishing for it to be beautiful enough, he found a pink and white one that would be perfect for teas. "Hey well, you guys seem like you could make nice sisters, you know??? She kinda seems to look after you enough.... Like that other day, when I watched you guys do that quest, yah..... Anyways, you guys would make good sisters." Red took the flower and put in his bag, wondering if he should give it to Ebony as a gift. Nah, it would seem weird, with then knowing each other for like two days.

Red smiled. They were becoming good friends, and he had made a good decision going tank. Ebony and Manta, Support and DPS, + Red, Tank. Then Red made an equation for awesomeness in his head. (XD)

Ebony=Support

Manta=DPS

Red=Tank

Ebony + Manta + Red = x

(Support) + (DPS) + (Tank) = x

(Slightly Awesome) + (Tank) = x

AMAZING-NESS = x

X=Amazing-ness 

(OOC: Got a bit bored)

But then Red began to wonder, what kind of armor did Ebony order??? Ehh. It didn't matter. No one needed the armor, anyways. So it could be sold in one of their shops, once Red had a shop. "So..... I don't even know all that much about you. Do you... Have any siblings???" Red kind of hoped he wasn't digging too deep. He looked at the ground and saw another flower, and he hoped it wasn't molded. But once again, it was another molded flower. Out of all the flowers he tried to obtain in Aincrad so far, only about one of them were not molded. What was wrong with this place??? He didn't see any molded flowers IRL.

LOOT:10

Fail, of course, another molded flower.

(OOC:Yah, one material)

Red saw him pick up the stone, and realized how much more luckier Rag was then him. "Yah.... this world is amazing.... All except for what it is doing to our IRL bodies. rotting them away. Sometimes.... Sometimes I feel that Indigo may have ran in here to find me. She seems like that kind of person, who would run into the death game just for me. I kinda would like that though. If she was here, I would make sure she would not die..... No matter what. I would kill myself before that happens. Anyways, Rag, we should probably turn around. The towns getting a bit distant." Red flipped around and headed back  to the town. But then he saw another one of those flowers.... And he picked it up again, hoping it wasn't molded like the rest. So it could be used in tea. But it just had to be molded again. Red was getting pretty flustered as he threw it on the ground. That brought up a really old song to his mind.... by Lonely Island, he thought. But it was like so late, from like 2012.

Red turned his attention to the fishing pond again as he walked down towards it. There was no one here. Just Red and a few fish jumping up into the air really awkwardly in the lake. Red turned around, but then continued to walk forward. There is nothing here, Red. Stop being such a baby. But if there was nothing and nobody here, then why would there have been such a clearly defined path leading here??? Maybe it was just a path fishermen take 247 to find the lake, but either way, it made no difference if the path was there or not. Could've just been a thing programmed into the game for no reason. But soon, out of the trees Red could here a rustling. Red decided he would search for another flower, then book it. Soon enough he found a flower, and then he looked at it to see if it was molded or not. But the flower was molded again, and then Red threw it down and booked it, away from the rustling in the trees.

"Eh???" About myself, huh........ "There's not much to me. I'm just like all the other players in here, Except for the fact I love this place. Most people hate being in this world and want to clear it. I plan on helping them clear it... But... I don't want to leave. The only reason I would want to leave is for... My sister Indigo. Maybe Blue, my older brother, but mostly Indigo. Me and Indigo... It was like the tighest half-brother, half-sister, relationship. We both have different moms, my mom-" Red gulped. "I-I-Is dead, and..... Yah, so...... Anyways, how about you?" Red continued to look on the ground for more of those flowers that were pink and could be used in tea. He eventually found one, and then picked it up to examine and evaluate it. But it turned out being another molded flower. Man, why are so many of these flowers just molded???? That's rather odd.

As Red started to walk out of the village, the safe zone, he got reminded of something. save zone reminded him of the little purple places on Zelda and the Phantom Hourglass,  which was rather old seeming by the time Red played it. But it was fun, most definitely. "So, Ayumu," Red said, "What have you been up to???" Red felt a change in his own behavior. He was not near as shy around her as he was last time. Last time..... Red was new. New to the world. He hadn't left that inn room in quit a while before going out into the floor one plains one random day, and then he met Ayumu and he met Koumori. Red began to look at the ground to see if there were any of the flowers that could make herbs and be in teas. He found one. A pink and white one. Now Red had not memorized all of the names of flowers, but this one was kind of pretty. And when he picked it up, he finally got lucky with the flowers. it was indeed good enough for teas. He put it into his inventory and continued walking with Ayumu. For once, he had found a flower that wasn't molded.

► No Name(Suggest a Name in Reply):

5 Ranks

Passive

Effect: +() Health per rank.

Description: Gives the player a better endurance rating, the ability to withstand multiple hits.

So, didn't know much about it, but it came up in my head so I figured I might as well share it.

Red did not take offense to that. He obviously knew he would die, he looked at the stats. The boss would kill him. That's why he had said when they leveled up, but that was okay. But Red also didn't want her to overestimate his skills. Even +9 mitigation is nothing. The Dark Elf deals nine damage. The Dark Elf is supposed to be easy as heck. Red looked around some more for another flower like before. It seemed a bit awkward, staring at the ground, but the materials would help him some day. "Have you heard of what floor thirteen looks like yet???" Red said. "It seems pretty cool and interesting. I need to hurry and catch up!" Red smiled. Now, from some where, he knew he could get up there someday. Be a tank on the front-lines. And this-this thing, quest, Ebony was doing with him??? It was only a tiny step in getting up there.  He leaned closer to one of the flowers on the ground and picked it up. But it was molded, just like the last one. Red had only gotten one material by doing this before. He just..... isn't lucky enough.

Red didn't understand why exactly they were going back to town, but he was fine with it. His level one self wouldn't be a match for these boars. If they critical, Red would die. "Mmmmm.... Okay! Let's head back to town!!!!" Red followed Koumori as they walked back looking at his curved sword as they went. "So, if you don' mind me asking, what level are you too??? I'm still level one, but was just wondering what level you guys are currently." Red smiled. He hadn't seen people this nice in forever. As town came into view, Red began to race ahead of the group. With no armor on, it was rather easy to run. "Last one there is a rotten egg!" Red yelled as he hurried to the town, passing Koumori and Ayumu before yelling to get a lead. Gotta do what you gotta do to win, as long as it's not cheating. 

(OOC: Really would post more if my life wasn't so busy.... Sorry again guys.)

Red hadn't really done anything much either, besides read  the news feeds. Floor 12 had been cleared, meaning Red needed to hurry up and catch up. Here was also a very interested in the new quest on the floor 13, But as most quests were, it was way too tough for him. But it had a pretty easy way to beat it.... .And Red had an idea that Ebony, him, and Manta could beat it eventually, especially with Ebony's first aid and +3 Combat Craft which could make it easy as heck to land two first aid attempts on it. Red looked around, until he saw a little flower on the ground that looked like it could be used in teas or for herbs. Red picked it up to examine it. But the flower was disgusting and Red threw it back down. "So I heard of a new quest on floor thirteen that, once we are higher levelled, would be perfect for the three of us- Manta, you and I. The most perfect for you, with your Ebony Wood."

Material Gathering failed.
