Crozeph

Crozeph scratched his head as he listens to Kitty. He was doing well in his battles and quest but he can't remember the last time he tried to manage things right "then we could rely on players with professions" he said. "Blacksmiths can manage the guild funds and equipments I suppose" Crozeph wasn't really good at giving ideas but at least he could try giving one for the guild "as for when we are outside battle, we could appoint someone who has a keen eye on the things that are needed to be done in here" he added.

Crozeph turned around to see if he still remembers the way out of the forest "it'll be a bad thing if I get lost again" he said. Crozeph saw another rock that he thinks that may give him ore. "To hit or not to hit" he said "ok just hit it" Crozeph slashed at the rock hoping that it will reveal some ore or a loot.

"Another failure" he said as he sheathes his sword back. Crozeph continued on walking and gazed at the lush forest and the green surroundings "this place is better now that its day" he said. After a few steps, Crozeph heard a crunch of a leaf just in front of him "what is it now?" he said holding the hilt of his sword. As he looks at the path before him, a large lizard came flying out of the bushes and tried to hit Crozeph. "That's dangerous" he said to the lizard as it stopped and faced him "you don't want to mess with me" Crozeph said raising his sword aligned to the lizard.

Crozeph walked in and made his way directly to the fire "hello everyone" he said as he puts his hand near the fire. It has been a few day since he joined the guild and he already feels home with everyone "so what'll we discuss today?" he looked at the, his hands still near the fire. Crozeph's eyes widened when he saw a familiar face but new to to the guild "you're here too!" he said to Arekkusu "in what squad are you? or rather are you a commanding officer of a new..." Crozeph suddenly pulled back his hands after he accidentally moved it closer to the fire burning him "that was careless" he said. Crozeph stood up "welcome to the guild" he told him.

Crozeph started to yawn as he walks to the forest "the forest is lively but my body is really not into joining it" he said. Crozeph tried to look around for any stones that might contain ores or hide for him to take to a blacksmith "I want to go to that blue forge again..." he thought "...makes me feel like a kid again." Crozeph then noticed a stone covered with the tree's root "that looks like a potential loot" he thought. Crozeph quickly walked towards it and touched the two feet stone "let's see what you've got" Crozeph cut off the roots covering it and started hitting the stone with his sword.

Crozeph then frowned when the stone revealed nothing as he smashed it to pieces "well no luck here" Crozeph stood up and rested on a tree "now where do I head next?" he thought.

Crozeph looked at the crystal "nahh it's fine, sometimes we gotta earn our reward" he said. "Well I'll be seeing you then, goodbye friend" Crozeph walked towards the town plaza and asked for directions about where a forge could be "I'll be needing a new sword and armor" he thought "I can't rely on my starter pack for long" he said. Crozeph looked back and saw that Arekkusu was already teleported by his crystal "I'll run into him somewhere again" he said as he makes his way deeper to town.

Crozeph looked like a child lost in an amusement park as he enters the town "finally a place where we can kick back and relax" he told Arekkusu. Crozeph evaluated what he did today and realized that he finally stepped out of his comfort zone with the help of his friend. "Today was a nice day to almost die but it was nice" he said. Arekkusu was like a brother to him now and "so you planning to go anywhere?" he said. Crozeph had to hit a forge first before eating food and trying to find materials for an armor next.

(ooc: make your last post and I'll end it then we can lock it up now for the col and SP)

~Story Thus Far~

Communications Established

After his Adventure where he almost died and forging his sword, Crozeph decided to join a guild in order to help new players. Crozeph already had new friends along the way in his solo play in the game. One of them is Arekkusu, a person that he sees as a brother and Tom a player he met at town. Crozeph joined the guild named Tempest Lost and joined the squad Tom created. Crozeph then realized that his friend is not in the game after an incident where he thought that someone touched his nervegear. Crozeph then decided to survive in the game and eventually meet his friend again in the real world. This also made Crozeph decide to join a guild and aim for a position in the front lines to make his way out of the game.

(ooc: ok I'll end my post too then Tom should pm a GM to lock the topic)

Crozeph waved his hand as the player walks back into town "I'll run into him again somewhere" he said. Crozeph then decided to move to the higher floor in search of material for his armor that he'll be needing on his plan to take on a quest. "Now where should I start?" Crozeph entered a portal and was teleported to another floor.

Crozeph thought hard of what to eat but only one thing always pops out of his mind "a three layer sandwich" he said. Crozeph liked bread and he always eats anything called bread "but a stew would be nice" he thought. Crozeph followed them not having any idea of what to do, he was always alone playing and surviving and now that he joined a guild, he's still trying to cope up with joining groups "I guess this is how guilds work" he thought.

Crozeph made a faint nervous laugh, Arekkusu was right he had to feel like a kid again and besides their inside a supposed to be fun rpg game turned death game "I see it!" he exclaimed. Crozeph saw the lights getting brighter "finally a safe haven where i can buy bread" he said. As if by his deep longing for another bread that Crozeph began to speed up a little and slowly catching up with Arekkusu's pace "I feel like a kid again a little bit" he said. The wolf has already disappeared now that both of them are fast enough that it must've given up on catching them.

It's called Battle Healing, I'm still new to the feeling though" he said. This was the first time his battle healing activated after he gained access to it. Crozeph touched his shoulder as it fully healed "I figured that I'll be needing this in situations like this" he said. The last time he got bitten by the wolf almost it killed him which made decide to invest his skill points on the battle healing "you should get it too, that is if you don't have a high defense yet" he told Tom "you'll learn it soon enough."

"Too noisy" Crozeph said. He gripped his sword raised it and charged at the plant, his sword's sharp edge facing the the plant. Crozeph then raised his sword and slashed downwards making a crimson-colored dash appear cutting the plant in half. The monster shattered to pieces. Crozeph waited for a few seconds for a loot drop but nothing appeared. "That was disappointing" he said. Crozeph sheathe his sword and continued his walk deeper into the forest.

Crozeph patted Tom's shoulder "its fine, I messed it up the first time I tried it too" he said. Crozeph then lunged towards the wolf ready to finish it off. Crozeph then suddenly halted stopping a few feet in front of the wolf "not going down without a fight huh" Crozeph admired the wolf's determination to do what it was programmed to. Crozeph slashed at the wolf and the wolf buried its fangs at his shoulder. Crozeph smiled as the wolf tried to tear a chunk of flesh from him. Crozeph then buried the sword at the wolf's belly making it shatter to pieces. Crozeph sheathe his sword and and felt a sudden feeling that his wound is healing by itself.

Crozeph nodded at how the player executed the move "just keep on doing that and you'll raise your survival rate" he said "but you don't have to point it always, just use your weapon to defend and keep the safe distance" he said. Crozeph then turned his attention at the wolf and raised his sword. The wolf began to snarl and and charged at Crozeph "next survival tip, reaction time and timing" he said. The wolf began to kick its hind legs and aimed for Crozeph's head. Crozeph lowered his sword and quickly slashed upward cutting through the neck of the wolf sending it backas it receives his attack "your turn" he looked at Tom, "just relax and you'll be fine."

Crozeph was still standing there and this time he's eating another one of his bread then he heard the pink-haired girl talk again. "Pry him off?" he said. Crozeph looked at Arekkusu "he just sat there how could she say pry him of..." Crozeph swallowed hard "no I don't want to think about it" he said. Crozeph took a step forward but he hesitated again "she's letting the madness settle in" he thought. Crozeph wanted to say something also but seeing her mark as a PK made him feel a faint fear "she might stab me if I get near."

The plant had a hard time to stand up but eventually it managed to. It let out a screech so loud that the player covered his ears. Two vines suddenly came out of the ground and grazed the player's arm damaging him. The plant then moved forward to land a finishing blow but it was slow and some of its vines got tangled as it swings wildly around the forest.

Crozeph caught tom by the sleeve and yank him up before he could hit the ground "sorry about that" he said "I need to keep my sword pointed at the wolf" added as he points his sword at it. "I'll give you a tip I learned from my friend in the real world" Crozeph  moved his right foot forward to hit the wolf but the wolf moved back and sprinted to his right and tried to bite his arm off. Crozeph used his sword to block but the wolf was strong enough to get close and buried its fangs his arm. Crozeph moved back resulting for the wolf to stumble down "keep your sword pointed or your shields raised when an enemy is in front of you" he said "you'll take less damage that way" Crozeph may have failed on attacking the wolf but he was fast enough to shield himself from a serious attack. "Now it hit without hesitation and remember what I said" Crozeph then kept his distance from the wolf.

Crozeph listened to them as they talk about their equipments "shields..." he muttered. Crozeph never liked the idea of shields. It slows him down whenever he tries to maneuver his attacks but he likes parrying and blocking the opponent's attack with his sword. "Looks like you're planning to be a tank specialist" he said to them. "Not that I don't like them at all but if we go on dungeons you won't be expecting me to carry a shield" he said. Crozeph relied on his reactions and instincts but if the guild encourages using a shield, it won't do much to convince him. "So are we going to take on a huge monster?" he asked.

Crozeph held his breath and began running "running again" he said. He mentioned something about running but he didn't expect a race "I guess you take some things literally" he said as he tries to catch up with Arekkusu. Crozeph then heard a faint growl behind them and when he turned his head he saw a wolf chasing them "these wolves never quit do they? he said. Crozeph didn't plan anything about the wolf chasing them, they're already so close to a town and he liked the rush of excitement that he feels as the wolf tries to pursue them "too bad wolf" he said as he continues to run with Arekkusu.

(ooc: I'll spawn something strong since we can take on higher mobs now)

Crozeph blocked Tom with his right hand "there's something ahead of us" he said. Crozeph draw his sword and pointed towards the path ahead. A wasp and a wolf came out of the trees ahead of them, the wasp flying and the wolf snarling at them "something's off" he said. Crozeph studied the two monsters that just appeared in front of them "the wolf is from floor 3" he said. Crozeph then looked at Tom "here comes the party crashers" he said

Wasp 2/2

Crozeph let out a sigh of relief "good thing I entered the right building, if it wasn't I would be running out before you know it" he said. Crozeph looked at Tom "nahh the help was nothing, besides I wouldn't call it success if there are only a few surviving players once the game is cleared" he said. Crozeph stood up in a proper way and greeted them all "the name is Crozeph and I'll be joining Tom's squad, I'll look forward to helping this guild conquer floors and help players" he said. This was his first time joining a guild and he didn't want to mess it up "now before I freeze to death" Crozeph closed the door and walked back inside. The place was not what he expected but somehow he felt the warmth of the place "what a nice place" he said.

Crozeph looked at his map and tried following the marker towards the guild HQ that Draterion gave to him after joining the guild. "Next time I'll go with other members" Crozeph said as he continues to walk. Crozeph then stopped and saw that the marker is just to his left, Crozeph then made a dismayed look "how long was I walking in circles?" he asked himself. Crozeph then looked at his left and saw a building. Crozeph blew the snow off his shoulders and walked towards the the door "am I fast enough to run once I realize that this is the wrong building?" Crozeph had a hard time pushing the door but he eventually opened it. He walked inside and saw players who are talking about something in their guild "is this the Tempest Lost HQ?" he said. Crozeph tried to ready himself "the moment someone says no, I'll make a run for it" Crozeph had no sense of direction and that goes the same on knowing his destination.

"Strong attacks, weak defense" Crozeph said as he charges at the plant at full speed and pointing down his sword. Crozeph moved his right foot forward and slashed upward hitting the plant from root to its head causing it to stumble down and make trees fall down behind it. "I've got to listen to her when she teaches me once I get out of this game" Crozeph said as he points his sword and fixes his eye on the plant trying to stand up. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall" Crozeph said smiling at it.

Crozeph covered his face with his left hand "I may know a thing or two about battles but I easily get lost" he said. Crozeph walked out of the safe zone and followed the Tom hoping that he won't get lost also "I need to keep myself on guard though" he thought. Crozeph was strong enough in these floor but still he felt that he shouldn't stay complacent on the surroundings "danger never chooses floors, it everywhere" he said to himself.

hmmm join a squad maybe I'll think about creating one though...
