Rain

As the wanderer stood there waiting for the two to take their turn at the rock, his impatience was wearing thin. The fact that the two failed miserably to event dent the rock didn't help with that predicament. Once the two finally finished taking their turn, the wanderer burst into a run. Soon after, as before, he leaped high into the air before clenching his fist and proceeded to pummel the rock. This time, he aimed for where he hit before. From his studies in random stuff in college, he's learned that it's good to focus your attacks at the weak point as it will continuously build up damage. In this case, the impact point he made before was the weakness. As his fist collided, more cracks began to jut out from the point and former crack. He then flips back on the ground and walks back towards the two. "A couple more should do it."

"It's totally understandable at you level.." The wanderer spoke he stepped up to take his turn. "One of the game changers in this game are items." He says as he began to rush the boulder. Within moments, he jump high in the air once more. With a clenched fist, he swings his hands at the boulder. As his fists touches,the boulder, a slight crack juts out from the impact point. As if from an anime or something, the wanderer was in that position as if time stood still. While his fist kept contact, the crack slightly spread some more. "A little more!" He thought to himself as he tried to push the rock some more, only to do nothing. He Jumps back on the ground and walks behind the two once more. His eyes glared at the rock, more determined to break the rock. "I'll finish this soon." He kept thinking in his head. He was getting restless inside his head, slowly growing more impatient. Outside however, he looked calm as if not fazed by the daunting task.

As he stood there waiting for both players to once again make their attempts, he mind began to wanderer. "This might not take as long as he had thought." He thought to himself while a slight grin was plastered on his face. That was that thought anyways, until he saw each player making their attempts. Each attack, futile as each one missed the target or didn't dent it at all. One of them soon eventually began to complain that this quest was just too tedious, making the game boring and monotonous. "Well technically, it was weeks before the first frontliners even got close to touching the 2nd floor. The developers probably would have guessed that they would have better items by now." The wanderer spoke as if offended. But he completely understands the player's train of thought. He had once taken on this quest and with help at that from a very high leveled player.

As the wanderer watched the other two try to pound the dust off this fairly sized boulder, his thought's were getting restless. "This was gonna take some time." He thought as he thought of ways to speed this up. After some thought, he flicks his fingers in the air and in moments a black crystal appears in his hands. Without a second thought, he clenches his hands, breaking the crystal in the process. As he looked back at the group, it seemed that they're done with their attempts. Without a single word, he took a few steps before breaking into a run once more. Once close enough, he jumped in the air and soon after punched down, straight at the boulder. As his fist collides with the rock, a slight crack breaks from where his fists land. He then backflips unto the ground and looks back at the rest of the group and began to walk behind them once more, as if there was a line.

"Rain..." He says as he the wanderer took a few steps forward before breaking into a run, then a charge. Once he felt close enough, the wanderer leaped into air before punching down. Straight down... at the ground. Unfortunately, the wanderer had grown too excited to hit the rock that in his attempt at hitting the rock, he, unfortunately overshot his jump and completely pummeled... the wrong thing. As the dust cleared, he slowly walked from behind the boulder that he completely overshot and missed and walked back to the two players he was suppose to be helping. "... sorry. I got excited." He says as he raises his right hand to scratch the back of his head and his eyes looking at the ground in disappointment. "I won't miss next time." He says as his continued his brooding. He then slowly walked away behind the two as they went on their turns to take on one of the most annoying quest to do.

As the wanderer watched the his 3 customers finally take their leave, his eye spots a somewhat familiar face. He kind looked like @Seul, from his former guild, but he wasn't entirely sure. He browsed the store as if amazed by the place. He hasn't moved for minutes at a time. Thinking the customer might take awhile since he's never bothered actually saying anything, he decides to go to back to work on his daily crafts for the day. After some quick and quiet work, a loud explosion boomed accross the shop. Soon after, a few silent minutes go by before the wanderer walks back out with a fairly sized amount of potions. A large grin about his face, he looked back at the customer who was browsing before, and to his amazement, he's still there having not moved an inch. "Wow... this guy must've never fyreflies or something." He says as the wanderer began to store his new stock.

It wasn't very often that the wanderer ever finds himself on the 2nd floor of Aincrad. Normally, he's out in the wilds of the snowy 4th floor. Yet, on this particular day, the wanderer decided to visit the mountainous region that was the 2nd floor. As he took steps out of the portal, he over hears a passerby NPC talk of a small party attempting to complete the Breaking the Unbreakable quest. Thinking that the wanderer could stretch his hands a bit, he decides to head towards the rock. After an hour or so of walking, he sees two level 1 players beating a fairly sized rock. With a slight grin on his face, the wanderer flicks his fingers in the air, opening his inventory. Soon after, his usual weapon of choice disappears and a pair of MMA gloves appear in his hands with a crowned lion insignia.

Wanderer's Light - Unequipped
Brawler's Bout - Equipped

"Right... Let's party..." He silently whispers to himself as he walked up to the two. Once he thought he was close enough, he slightly opens his mouth. "Need some help?" he says as he cracks his knuckles and stretches his arms.

While quietly tending the shop, a little bell ring echo's through the store followed by footsteps. At first, the wanderer didn't take notice of the player until he finally spoke out and called him by his name as if familiar. As he slightly turns his head to look the customer in the eye, he quickly notices who it was. "Hey... fine..." he says as he slowly stands up. Soon after, mac sends an order of a few items. "Yeah no problem. They're all still in stock." He says as he swings his fingers in the air before finally send the items to the Mac. As Mac sends his Col, a very familiar voice came booming from the door. One he hasn't heard from in age. He disappeared long before the wanderer disappeared, himself. "V-Vice-commander, y-you're a live." He says as he tried to stay calm. He had though the red-maned goliath had died or something. "Uh.... so I'm guessing you're buying Mack one too, @Macradon?"

As the wanderer waited for the two former guild-mates, he spots another customer quietly browsing his wares before finally speaking up to Rain. Quietly without giving a response, he looks over his stock. After checking through everything, he finally let's out words. "Yeah, everything's in stock." He swings his fingers in the air and soon after he sends the items with it's prices. "I'm fine taking Col. I have more than enough T1 Mats." He says before adding on. "If you prefer Mats though it's fine. Will you be joining the Nerius Event? I have the flaming weapon potions unique for the event if you'll want to add it on.

"It's been awhile, Urbus," says the wanderer as he stepped out of the portal. It's been awhile since the wanderer had last stepped foot on this floor. He was normally busy in shop on the 4th floor. Well, that was the case until he disappeared from the face of Aicrad. Recently however, he's managed to come out of hiding and has since then tried to reconnect with the community once more. While he was tending to his shop, the wanderer spots an announcement for a hidden boss on the 2nd floor. The last time the wanderer ever bothered to join one of these things, people died. And I don't mean just 1 person dying. There were a couple. (OOC: Is the Asteros death still count? idr)

Still, wanting to reconnect with the people once more, the wanderer made an attempt to join up with the event and see what happens. As he heads towards the norther gate of Urbus, the wanderer quickly spots, the red-maned goliath that was once his guild vice-commander, Mack. The wanderer was taken aback at thirst. He had thought that he died, or something along those line.Eyes wide open, the wanderer inched closer to the fairly sized group that seemed to be amassing around the ginger giant. He was hesitant to get closer. He hasn't seen Mack in ages and him appearing like that as if he never disappeared caught him off guard.

He took a deep breathe in, then out. He twists his neck a bit to stretch it. Then he forces himself forward. "It's now or never right? I heard the rewards for this event is good. Best take advantage of it." He says to himself as he finally reaches the crowd. Looking around, there were a few familiar faces, and some he vaguely remembers. The rest were all new to him. He flicks his fingers in the air, and takes out a sign that says "Fire Weapon Potions Available here." He had made a couple ahead of time when he heard about the event. The ingredients were right there, all the wanderer had to do was make them.

Trust me, you'll want that month break. I did it.... well let's say more than a month, but yeah it helps a lot. Take your time and enjoy the break bud. :)

ps - don't forget the threads with me when you get back.

The wait was slowly getting to the wanderer. As he crouched there, waiting to strike, a drop of sweat began to drip from his forehead. "Come on, I can do this.." He says to himself as he tightly grips the spear. Just when he's about to finally pounce, a voice spoke from beside him, which caught him off guard. He fell back to the ground on his back as he stared back up to the person that surprised him. It didn't take him long to realize who it was. It was Beatbox. For someone who's only returning back to the game, he seems to be running into this guy often. After that little debacle, he quickly gathers his wits about him and prepared to strike. Looking back over to the blonde player, he lets off a slight grin before jumping on the panther. "Join in if you want."

As soon as the wanderer came into range, his spear began to glow crimson. Within seconds, his spear punctures through the large cat's hide. He pulls back once more only to spear it again three more times. As he pulls out one last time, he jumps high into the air. With a quick front flip, he swings the head of the spear downwards straight at the black panther. The wanderer then falls back from the creatures range to see if it's finally dead Unfortunately for the wanderer, the black cat, slowly stood back up. It's body riddle with red scars, yet it wasn't ready to go back down just yet. Baffled by the tenaciousness of the creature, the wanderer was taken aback and in that moment, the Black Panther decided to strike. Quickly pounced on the wanderer, pinning him to the ground. With it's claws, it began to rip through the wanderer's guard and clothing until it was satisfied with it's work. Wanting to savor the moment, the panther fell back and began to encircle the wanderer, as if toying with it's prey. Unfortunately for the creature, it was he who was being toyed with. As the wanderer stood back up, there were only minute scratches on him. Looking over at his HP gauge, it barely dented his HP.

OOC: Keep it OP until we get about 4 or 5 other people. Then will turn into a PP and will search for a dungeon.

A crisp sound of the wind blows past by the wanderer's snowy white hair as he quietly stalks through the thicket of the 11th floor. He rarely prowls through these woods to hunt for material, in fact, this is the first time he's gone to this floor solely to hunt. As he steps forward a few more times, he spots a shadow flying through the brushes. His spear in right hand, he flicks his left finger to open his inventory and take out a potion. He gulps it straight down before tracking down the beat. "I know you're nearby," He whispers to himself as he scans at the ground looking for footprints. He finds a set of paws, which seem to be a cougar or panther of some sort. He tightly grips his spear as he quietly follows the tracks. Soon, it led him to a fairly large black cat, a panther. Gritting his teeth, he swipes his finger once more and takes out a yellowish crystal. He quickly crushes it before waits for his moment to strike.

Moved to the 4th floor from the 3rd floor...

"Alright then, let's go." He says as he lead the way to the portal. Within seconds of stepping into the portal, the wanderer his companion is welcomed with the chilling winds of the 4th floor. "Welcome to Snowfrost Town." He silently says as he began to trudge forward through the snowy streets. After a few minutes, the arrive at the northern gates of Snowfrost Town. "You ready? These guys are a lot more different from the ones we've fought before." He spoke as if his companion has never been to this floor. Of course, that's probably far from the truth. He is part of one of the most prestigious guilds there is in Aincrad, after all. As he began to step forward, the wanderer kept his hands on the handle of his blade. He wanted to be ready for anything that was to come. He's been out in these wilds for sometime, but that doesn't mean he will always never be caught off guard.

"Ah... no..." As his blade lands on his side, he decided to change his mind. He had thoughts of maybe farming some mobs nearby to give to the budding martial artist, but in the last moments, he changed his mind. His mind just wasn't into it and from the looks of things, the noirette women didn't seems up to the idea as well. Looking back at Graves, his stomach began to churn once more. Rubbing his hands against his stomach, he looks at Graves with a somewhat desperate eyes. "Let's go grab ramen, Graves. This entire ordeal's really making me work up an appetite." Graves maybe slow to following up orders in his cafe, but he is still a cook. "You should be done with quest by now, right? How about joining us for some food? Don't worry about the Col, we can take care of that." The wanderer spoke thinking that Graves would just give her food for free, but if needed the wanderer can spare the Col.

It hasn't even been a couple of minutes yet, and the wanderer already made a sale. A big one at that, too. On normal circumstances, the wanderer would've taken mats, but with the recent update on tiered materials, he has to revamp his prices a bit. He's had a few thoughts, but he wants to check out his competitor's prices first. With a quick swipe of his fingers, he sends the items to the blonde player and in return, he receives a whopping amount of Col. "I take it, there hasn't been that many active Alchemists out there anymore?" I could've sworn there were a couple that were making good sales," The wanderer says as his mind thinks on Zandra, and a few other alchemists he knows like Mari, Opal, and an alchemist he was selling a bunch of Crafter's Respites too months ago before his disappearance, Birdie. As his mind wandered, a window popped up in front of him. A friend request, from the his blonde customer. He was hesitant at first, but he eventually decided to press accept. "Yeah, I'll keep that mind," he says as the window closes and another voice shoots through the darkness. "A gathering..." the voice spoke as if familiar with the wandering alchemist. "I'd call it more of a nuisance than a gathering..." Thought the wanderer as another figure came out of the shadows. "I'm still setting up shop, but you're welcome to still browse my wares while I'm working." The wanderer spoke as he began to clean up the shop once more.

With each step getting closer to the figures, the wanderer began to realize that there were more people he knew other than Baldur. He quickly catches Calrex's blue eyes glaze over the wanderer as he crept ever closer. He of course didn't react to the wanderer's arrival. He was above and beyond the wanderer's capabilities, how can senpai ever really notice him. With a few more steps forward, the booming voice of the temporary vice commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath came at the wanderer. He spoke as if not even surprised to see him, after all these months. The wanderer slightly opened his mouth, reluctant to say anything at first. Eventually, letting out a few words. "H-hey. Been awhile, Mac..." His voice trailed off as his eyes scanned the cavern some more, quickly spotting Oikawa along with a player he recently met when he re-opened up shop on the 4th floor. "I see you're here, too, Beat."

With a crack of his knuckles, the wanderer gets straight to work on his creations. It's been ages since he had last touched his equipment, but as his hands grasp his tools, they moved in sync with his mind. His movements was seamless, as if flowing water, not stopping for a moment. It was sight to behold. A sight of a true master a work. Of course, the wanderer is only a master, he still has some ways before he could reach the status of Grandmaster Alchemist, but he is well on his way. Had he not stopped those many moons ago, he would've reach that goal by now.

As his work came a close, a slight puff of smoke, followed by a loud bang echoed across the little shop. "Somethings never gets old," The wanderer whispers to himself as he gathered up his new creations and placed them in the store front.

Looking over his stock quick, he quickly looks back at the blonde customer. "I've got almost all the damage items in stock. How many and what kind do you need? With the new changes coming in, I'll sadly only take Col for now until I can settle with a Mat price on these things." With a swift wave of his fingers, the wanderer displays his current items in stock to the blonde customer.

Pick your poison, he says as he began to dust off his wares. Apparently dust is a thing in this game. Who would've thought. "Still can't use them huh? Figured someone like you would've put them to use by now," He says as he still casually cleaned up the place. As Seul was talking to the blonde fellow, he mentions the name Beat. He's heard of that name somewhere in his travels, he just can't seem to remember just where. As his mind wandered he remembers news of the recent unlocking for the 20th floor. "So I hear you guys finally broke through the 20th floor. How is it? I've had thoughts of exploring it once i settled in with the shop. I'm probably not strong enough to deal with it my self anymore, but I still want to see the land. I hear it's sunny."

@Seul @Beatbox

Just as he spoke those words, an voice echoed through his shop. It somewhat seemed familiar. "Just a minute!" He yelled out as he scrambled to get his things in order. After a minute, he walks out to greet the customer, blonde haired fellow. His face looked somewhat familiar as if the wanderer has dealt with him before in the past, or maybe he was just another face he's seen over the course of his time here in Aincrad. "Sorry, I just recently re-opened so my stock's somewhat of a mess. What could i get for you?" After weeks of not talking to anyone, he managed to pull off those words in a somewhat coherent sentence. "If.. if you're what you're looking for isn't in stock, you can place an order and I could have it to you in a a day or 2 time. Unless I have to hunt for the materials, that is..." As he spoke, a friendly face came storming into his shop. It didn't take the wanderer long to realize who exactly it was. "Seul... it's been awhile." He says with a grin on this face. This was the first familiar face he's seen since he disappeared, and of all the people it's Seul. "Finally come to pick up your order?" He says somewhat mockingly as this particular player placed an order months ago, way before his disappearance and never picked it up.

Darkness surrounds the wanderer as he wandered this unexplored cavern of the 20th's floor. This had been his first time exploring in ages since his sudden disappearance from this world. Why the 20th? It was no reason really other than it's new unexplored lands. As he crept further into the darkness, he heared voices echoing just off the distance. Some of the voices felt familiar to him. Like ones he's been getting close with. "Baldur?" His mind wandered as he crept even closer. Soon, he began to spot the figures of the voices he's heard. He's definitely met them before. Members of the Spectrum Coalition. His heart began to pound faster. He has disappeared on them once before while he had some intentions of perhaps joining their guild. He's respected their members and enjoyed their company. He has to say something. He hasn't seen a familiar face for months now. He took a moment to take a deep breathe before finally stepping out of the shadows. "Baldur... Is that you? It's... been awhile."

I dont think you quite understand what i mean... All im saying is the more you push and challenge yourself to write more then 150 words the easier its going to become and before long 150 words will seem like nothing.

With the amount of crafting I used to do, I would've gone insane if I would be doing a lot just for crafting. I'd be doing the same thing over and over and over. It'd get monotonous and boring. I already stopped RPing for a bit cause of that very reason. I think 150 is fine minimum. It challenges new people and would give enough content in the post for others to react to.
