Zuel

Zuel would look curiously at Rithe as she seemed to have something on her mind and was barely answering him whenever he talked to her. Zuel would put his portion of the col for the two bed room getting a confirmation window that they would have the room for the night. Zuel would lead them upstairs and down the long hallway of locked room as they would reach their room. Zuel would unlock the door with the key he was given from the innkeeper and enter their room. Inside was a decently size room with two beds separate from each other across the top corners of the room with a window in between, two armoires near each bed for their things as well as a table in the middle of the room that had a candle on it that was illuminating the room. Zuel would take his jacket off placing it on the rack near where they entered, taking his sword off and resting it on the side of the armoire. "Well we have the room for the night but we can extend our stay with a few col if you would like." Zuel would look to Rithe to see that she was still out of it as he walked over to her and leaned down a bit to get to her level so she had to look at him directly. "Whats gotten into you? You have been spaced out since we left my workshop." The moonlight would shimmer in through the window to further illuminate the room at that moment.

Zuel would head back to his workshop placing his new weapon among the others that he had crafted but giving it own spot as a reminder of what he had learned today. Zuel would begin to start crafting with the bone that he had left over from the previous quest and mimicked the profess he just saw Griswold and Hanna do to try to recreate the sword. Unfortunately he did not success as the bone would break and glow bright before shatter and disappearing into nothing losing the materials. Although not successful Zuel saw this as a lesson learned and wanted to take this new information to improve his obsidian lava forged method that he was perfecting. It was going to be another long night for Zuel in his workshop as he was preparing to take on another quest he noticed while he was on another floor called Avalanche. However he was going to need some help if he was going to complete this quest. I wonder who Zuel will team up with this time.

Walking in Zuel would great the two as he would lay the elf bone on the table in front of them. "Excellent you got the bone that we require to craft you a weapon! It didn't seem like it took you to much of your time. Come hunnie lets get started!." Griswold would nod to Hanna as the two would begin to extract the bones and begin to gently begin to chip away the out exterior and grind down the excess with a file smoothing it out. They would temper the bone in hot oil and let it sit for time as the bone began to glow bright. Griswold would then begin to shape it while it was glowing creating a one handed sword that was completely made out of bone. Zuel studied their method and felt like it could be used to improve his own unique style by trying to file away excess shell on the bone it allowed it to be easily tempered. Zuel would take notes as he turn to the two shaking their hands even though they were NPC they still knew more about this world than he did. With that he would receive his rewards and move head back to his shop to continue practicing his craft. 

Zuel would stretch out his arms and roll his shoulder as he put his mining pick back into his inventory and exited the cave. The day had gone by down and the sun began to set as the trees would block it from view in the deep forest Zuel was in. Zuel began to head back as he check his log on the quest seeing it was completed and all he needed to do was return to town and had in the quest back to the blacksmiths. Zuel began to travers through the forest following his map closely to not lose his way and found his way back on the main road. He began to follow it back as it would lead him to the gates of town on floor 3. It felt like it had been quite some time since Zuel had been back there even though it had only been a couple of hours but because of the forest it might of made time move a bit differently. Walking through the town he could see many other players going on with their daily lives and crafts of their own as well as Zuel would find himself outside of the building where Griswald and his wife Hanna were waiting as he entered.

Zuel would wipe the sweat off his forehead and stretch a bit since he had been mining for quite some time now. Having finished off the dark elf so quickly it gave Zuel a lot of free time to mine for ore but he hadn't been so successful so far. Regardless he pressed on walking up to another vein to try again. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. To Zuel's surprise he managed to find a very high quality amount of ore adding it to his inventory and pleased with the results. It seemed like this was probably going to be the best he was going to get at this time and decided it would probably be better to call it a day and hand in the quest to receive his reward and learn about the blacksmithing technique from the couple back at the town.

As the cave grew darker and darker Zuel began to feel as if he only had a little time left in order to obtain more ore. He wasn't in any danger of enemies at night but he should still be weary of other players. There were players in the game that would attack other players even killing them because they didn't really believe the game could actually kill you. Although there was no proof to prove you died when you got a game over all players never returned once they died and there was no indication you would survive death. Regardless it Zuel was going to have to hurry as he found another vein in front of him. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. Not having much luck again as he was not successful in a back to back find but it was alright he still had another chance or two to get some ore before he had to head back.

With little time left before nightfall Zuel only had a few more chances to try to get some ore but so far he hadn't managed to obtain anything. Zuel didn't really seem phased by it even though other players would surely be frustrated with the results. Zuel began to had back to the beginning of the cave since it was getting late and he didn't have much time left.  Zuel would ready his mining axe and go to the closest vein he could find and begin picking away with heavy strikes. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. in the rubble there was finally ore that Zuel could use, adding it to his inventory and began to move on to the next ore to hope to get at least 1 more before finishing up there.

Zuel would notice that Rithe would begin to act a bit strangely after mentioning their bodies. Is this the first time she has thought about it? Not really sure what to do to make her feel better about it Zuel would try to change the subject. "I am sure we will be out of here soon enough, but you know this world isn't so bad and I was able to make a valuable companion in you Rithe."  It began to get a bit late as Zuel would lead them back to the village and then to the teleporter. "Lets head to the inn for the night. We can grab a room if you would like, on me." They would teleport to the town of beginnings and head to the inn at the center of the town. "Do you want to share a room for the night? Purchasing a two bedroom room would probably be cheaper than paying for individual rooms." Zuel didn't think much of it after all this was still a game and he didn't have any ill intentions with Rithe. As they entered the inn the innkeeper would address the two. "Welcome! Would you like to purchase a room?" Zuel would look to Rithe.

Zuel would look down at Rithe as she told him about the front lines. It seemed that she had similar feelings as he did about it. "That is why I am trying to work hard in raising my level as well as my craft so I can become strong enough to be useful." Zuel would stand up walking over to a near by chair sitting down as he thought about her question. "Well for one thing surviving would be one thing. I doubt our bodies can last forever outside the game on respirators." He would fiddle with his fingers a bit. "As for  family I don't really have any. I live alone and basically spent my whole life either working or in the military so I never had a chance to have a life. But coming here it feels different kind of like an actual home you know?" Zuel would give a weak smile before rising to his feet once again looking back to Rithe. "We should probably get going. I doubt you want to spend another minute in a place like this." Zuel would reach his hand down to her to help her up. "What about you? What is your motivation?"

Not wavering to the terrible RNG that he has been exposed to Zuel pressed forward and found another part of the cave where there was plenty of veins for him to mine from. Not sure if there was something he could do to increase his chances with finding ore. There was a quest that he could take to increase his chances so perhaps next time he will take that quest Zuel would ready his mining axe and go to the closest vein he could find and begin picking away with heavy strikes. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. So close but no go once again as he would let out a sigh at how bad the odds were against him. Maybe I should head back and hand in the quest it doesn't look like I am getting anything from here.

It soon became evening giving Zuel a little less time left in order to mine before he had to go head back and complete the quest. Having to pick up the speed a little bit Zuel continued to get back to mining. Zuel would ready his mining axe and go to the closest vein he could find and begin picking away with heavy strikes. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. No luck once again the odds didn't seems to be stacked in his favor. Zuel would roll his neck and his shoulder to stretched out a bit becoming a little stiff from all the mining he was doing. He wasn't getting much for the hard work that he was putting it. Wiping the sweat off his head Zuel went back to work.

Zuel thought back to his old days in the military. This game although not as realistic it was still as life threatening where one false move could mean the last for him. Zuel was going to have to continue being cautious and choosing his quest wisely if he was going to survive. However mining was not going to put his life and danger and it being a low level area there was probably nothing to worry about in the cave. Zuel would ready his mining axe and go to the closest vein he could find and begin picking away with heavy strikes. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. Once again Zuel was not able to find anything he could use. Nothing appeared to be in the rubble of the vein yielding no ore. With plenty of daylight still he had plenty of time to mine for at least something.

As the day grew on Zuel had yet to be able to yield any ore from his mining only have completed the quest. However Zuel knew it wouldn't be easy to just get the ore he was going to have to keep trying if he wanted any results.  Zuel would ready his mining axe and go to the closest vein he could find and begin picking away with heavy strikes. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. Once again Zuel was not able to find anything he could use. Zuel didn't seem distraught about it at all since he knew that it was just mere random chance. Zuel was going to have to continue mining maybe trying a different location.

The cave Zuel had been mining in began to glow brighter since the sun was getting higher into the sky allowing him to get a better view of the ore veins inside hopefully giving him a better chance at getting some ore before dark. He was really hoping to get some more ore so that he could star leveling his profession once again. Zuel would ready his mining axe and go to the closest vein he could find and begin picking away with heavy strikes. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. After moving around all of the rocks it was clear there was nothing for him in this pile as well. It was starting to get a bit ridiculous at his luck at being so close to obtain ore but yielding nothing in the end. He was just going to have to keep trying.

After cooling off for a little bit Zuel went back to work hoping to have some luck this time around and actually obtain some ore. It was still early so Zuel had a lot of time before he felt like he needed to go back so mining was the only thing he had to do to kill some time. Zuel would ready his mining axe and go to the closest vein he could find and begin picking away with heavy strikes. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. After moving around all of the rocks it was clear there was nothing for him in this pile as well. Zuel began to wonder if there was any methods in order to obtain a higher success rate at obtain ore because at this rate it would take a long time to get more.

Zuel would venture deeper into the cave as he spotted more ore for him to mine. The cave was well lit from the opening in the roof of the cave as well as some water springs all around as well.  Zuel would ready his mining axe and go to the closest vein he could find and begin picking away with heavy strikes. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. Unfortunately there was nothing there and Zuel was going to have to try again by going to another ore vein. Zuel would cool himself off a bit by washing his head in the water since mining was a lot of hard work. I wonder if other professions are this difficult to obtain materials.

Zuel began to walk around cleaning various areas up a bit as he did as he wasn't expecting company even though the place was already quite clean. "Sorry about the mess. I didn't expect anyone to see this place for a long time since it is so out of the way but it is the perfect environment for me to continue my work." The surrounding area was covered with mountain areas and the obsidian ore that Zuel prefers to use for all his crafts. He would walk up to his work looking into them seeing his own reflection. "I would like to help anyone survive this death game especially the front line. I have been working hard to get there myself but it is a slow grind until I get my stats up. That is why I don't mind when you call me to help you with quest." Zuel would turn to Rithe giving her a more serious look. "What about you? Do you have any interest in joining the front lines if you could?" Zuel folded his arms leaning again his anvil almost using it as a seat to support himself.

After defeating the Dark Elf Zuel would be presenting with a confirmation window to accept the loot of the elf obtain the materials that the couple need in order to see their crafting technique. After adding it into his key item Zuel had some time to kill before he had to head back so he searched the area for a cave or mountain area so he could attempt to mine some ore. To his luck in the forest he found a cave not to far from the south where he would enter to find and abundance of ore around. Zuel would equipped his mining axe and go to the closest vein he could find and begin picking away. Zuel would strike down hard on the ore vein causing rocks to break apart to reveal what was inside the ore vain. After hitting it a couple of more times the vein would be completely depleted and Zuel would begin to sift through the ruble hoping to find ore that he could use. Unfortunately there was nothing there and Zuel was going to have to try again by going to another ore vein.

A bit surprised by the technique such a low level mob could perform Zuel thought it was probably better to just go on the offensive and finish the Dark Elf off. He could easily complete the quest and search the area for any tier 1 ore he could use for his blacksmithing. The Dark Elf would attempt to hide into his shadows once again as he would disappear from Zuel's sight trying to plan another sneak attack. Zuel was a bit cautious this time around backing up slowly trying to pinpoint the location that the Dark Elf would attack from. Zuel waited for his moment as the darkness would appear to the side of him as he would quickly jump backwards causing the Dark Elf to rush through completely defenseless as Zuel would take his one handed sword and swing it down on the Dark Elf causing it slash through, defeating the elf. The Dark elf would glow bright white before it would shatter into nothing.

The Dark elf would spit on the ground getting back to his feet as he watched Zuel closely. Zuel would watch back mirroring his movements as he attempt to circle around Zuel. It seems his reflexes were perfectly sharp as always but just dodging an attack is half the battle, moving in a way that will prevent an enemy from hitting while also giving yourself an strategic advantage in battle is what he was trying to perfect. He would ready himself again as the Dark Elf would turn his dagger over to prepare for a different attack since even he could realize Zuel was expecting the lung attack. The Dark elf would rush at Zuel again and as he was about to attack Zuel he would vanish into darkness appear behind Zuel and slashing him in the back with the dagger. Zuel quickly reacted to try to dodge the attack but the dark elf was too quick landing quite the hit onto Zuel causing him to retreat backwards.

Zuel watched as his attack managed to land onto the elf dealing quite a bit of damage to him. Zuel would slash the blood off his blade as it would splat across the ground. At this rate another attack would finish off the elf completing the quest with only two attacks. Not wanting to finish the elf off just yet Zuel thought it might be better to practice his defensive capabilities. With no armor equipped Zuel would be feeling the full brunt of the attacks coming from the else and wanted to see how his defense and evasiveness would fair on an weaker enemy and then incorporate it later on a more powerful one. Zuel would raise his sword in defense in front of him ready for the Dark Elf's next attack. The elf would charge at Zuel like before trying to land a better attack with his knife lunging forward at Zuel. Having just seen this attack before Zuel would simple step to the side causing the elf to simple run right through Zuel missing him completely and falling to the ground. 

Zuel would begin to lead her through floor 9 east until the reached a giant mountain where lava would poor down it into what seemed to be a small workshop. The lava was pushing a giant obsidian wheel connected to the building as it went by. The entire shop was build from obsidian, which gave the structure a black glossy finish and made it impossible for the lava to damage the building. Zuel would approach the building turning to her as they reached the door and pulling out a old looking key in order to unlock the door. "Well this is it. Lets go inside." Zuel would open the door and allow Rithe to enter first as the place was dark but still lit from a giant forge in the back center of the room that was filled with the passing lava. In the center of the room was a giants obsidian anvil with his work bench right next to it. The walls were covered  in weapons and armor that Zuel had crafted with his unique lava forge style. He would light a few candles to give the room a bit more light. "So what do you think?"
