Azhoda

I looked at him a bit confused, "Soldier, Warriors. I don't see myself holding a gun as a job, Tho I know how to shoot, And I'm also not a warrior at all so... I blame them, I am neither of them and why would you waste your time then. I go out risking my life for a promise most would not even try to hold, It is just determination and If you don't have that then go waste your time for all I care. You don't become something if you do nothing and just sit in fear of failing." I said sounding cold and harsh tone almost like I really did not care about people, but I was just a bit Naive at best.

Looking at Koga now I smiled innocent, "Well Koga, I wanted to get some food as I have had nothing since two days ago. And I can use some food for sure, so here we are," I said holding my hand out to a small restaurant on the side of the street. Taking Koga's arm and dragging him in with me without asking if he wanted to come with me. Taking seats sitting down on a chair and looking at the menu "Come on sit down Koga," I said looking up from the menu a bit.

@Koga

I looked as It seemed they all started to introduce each other, Nora, Gambit and Yukiro. Nora and Yukiro seemed to know each other as he said nice to see you again. And Gambit seemed to be a healer for sure now. Nora would be the more nervous girl here while Yukiro was more open and helpful as well, while on the other hand Gambit seemed to be quite an upbeat and infected happiness booster.  "Seems we all introducing each other, Why don't I go." Making a small bow while sitting still I smiled, "Name is Kikenna Shior Or Azhoda, but Shior is good too, I guess it's nice to meet you all as well" I said sounding happy a bit. I looked at Nora as she asked why she never saw me on floor one before I put my hand to my shin, "I was there last but not long, The floor is quite useless to me, all quest on that floor is done by me and I have nothing else to seek there for now." I said in a cold tone a bit "Plus the fact that I'm level 21 and nothing can hurt me there so EXP grinding is useless," I said to her.

Turning to Gambit who seemed to love the idea of this as a young adult novel I tilted my head a bit, I never really read any of those novels and kept my nose into the books about robotics and engineering. Though he said something that did peek my interest, "If that was true, it would be rather stupid from this big bad even more so that it also would be their death wish to even touch me or any of you," I said in a cold and protecting way gripping my glaive in my hand a bit.

Looking at Yukiro who question why his cursor changed a bit before introducing himself I stated something to him, "Yukiro right, If you attack someone, in what way your cursor will change color. If you kill someone your cursor stays that color. Over time your cursor will go back but I advise you to stay away from safe zones as guards will attack you. The system saw your panic punch as an attack, Lucky for you, you're not skilled in hand to hand combat or that would hurt him a bit more. Also If you find someone with an orange cursor with blond hair and katana, just don't panic He is a friend of mine and helped me not get PKed." I explained to him.

@Nora @Gambit @Yukiro @Andromeda

Listening to him a bit I nodded as he spoke, Sure I can understand that but ... why, "Well I never have felt that fear, Only once have I felt fear but that was when I nearly got killed by a player." I said to him like it was no big deal at all. "I guess some people are just weak and scared," I said almost saying it like an insult to others.  As we walked I looked at the time in the corner of my viewing screen. "Um my age, I was 24 when I started playing the game that would make me 26 now if time is right," I said to him not really caring about how to treat a lady If I could see myself as a lady like with all the engineering.

"My boss would say that I have acted dumb again, Like always. But I'm not dumb, Not even near it at all. I would say my co-workers are dumb for wasting their time going home, and some players here on floor 1 is dumb as well for staying here too long." It sounded like I was getting around some small insults to people, but I was a bit naive for sure. It was clear that I may have been getting stuff out and about but well I take very bad care for myself as at that right moment that my stomach growled quite loud. At the same moment however My expression turned into one hell of an exhausted and tired face.

@Koga

"Ooh... Okay, Then I guess we are going to do that. It does sound a bit like an interview, so I have no problem with that, I have done many of those," I said to him as they teleported to the seventh floor. It was quite interesting to see how this guy worked, Wondering if I could become strong like him I nodded to him just looking as plain as he did. "Okay, I guess that is how things work. If you want to," I said not really knowing where he wanted to go as I never and I mean never really went to floor 7 maybe only once just to level up. As I was thinking my stomach growled again, "hehe~, sorry, guess I really went a bit too far on my body. If I say, I'm really sorry for the trouble Morgenstern," I said sounding honest and truly sorry.

I was surprised as ever hearing him like this that he did not know there was this simple of a feature in the game, That made it really clear to me that he was really just getting ready to start doing things. "I won't be risking your life now, maybe a later day. Just so you know I won't let you go hunting with me until I get to know you, I have learned from my mistakes and Don't want another person dying because of me," I said to him sounding very serious and didn't even flints as I said this. It would almost seem like I didn't care someone died for me. "But we can talk, I have nothing to do, So Koga right," I said to him a friendly smile.

I took a few steps and turned to him, "Follow me please, I want to be in a less crowded place, We can talk while walking," I said grabbing his arm and taking him with me without even asking if he wanted me to do so. I was holding his arm now as we walked to a place I wanted to be at, "So, Koga, If I may ask how old are you, you look quite young to me," I asked him letting go of his arm and walked a few steps in front of him walking backward still holding my glaive in my hand. "And also, You seem to be low level, why did you wait so long to start going out there and adventure to gain levels?" I said to him tilting my head a bit.

@Koga

My body was still in recovery and I was way too exhausted but the sound of voices around me got me to wake up a bit. I opened my eyes seeing two girls and two guys, all probably younger than me. Looking around I took off my goggles putting them over my head. "Um... hehe~, this is awkward... well," I said getting upright a bit still sitting on the ground looking exhausted as hell. Looking at the people around me more, All seemed to be lower lever then me and less equip for battle then I did. leaning on my glaive a bit I nodded. "Please don't worry about me, I am good. To be honest better than a few minutes ago," I said as It seemed a few players where around me now one even seemed a bit worried.

I did not know how to feel only to feel a bit useless now as if this happened at my job people just seemed to ignore me and I just woke up in a bed that was placed at my workplace. And if it happened here I never really got into trouble like this, "Yeeez... I'm sorry to be a trouble to you all, but I'm really okay. This happens a lot to me so no worry okay," I said opening my menu looking at my stats for a second forgetting yet again that others could see my menu as well. 

"If I may ask you all, You don't seem to be high levels. Can I ask what level are you all... cuz you seem to be all weak and well you don't seem to have any weapon at all," I said looking at the younger boy who healed someone just a second before. I was not really used to people being worried about me in the open. Most of the time they just said to keep me to my own projects. As I stared at people a bit as my stomach began to growl as well now and not so quite too.

@Yukiro @Gambit @Nora @Andromeda 

It's a bit sad to hear the guy be mad as he seemed lost as he told me this, but wait I can help him. I just forgot to tell him. But it was weird to hear not many higher level players came to this floor, why Not. It probably the best way to get connections and make yourself stronger. At least I was not the only one coming here.

As he asked what I would do I literally just chugged my shoulders, "I don't know what you like. Just something probably how should I say it, I like to have fair trade," I said to him. But I was more surprised by the fact that he didn't need anything and tilted my head, "Okay, your lost I guess, But I was not planning to stick around here much longer. Just need someone to help me fight some floor bosses, I already did some research on them and know how to kill them fast. I can take them all as My damage output in near 100," I said to him standing up and grabbing my Glaive from my back and holding it in my left hand, "Name is Azhoda, but if you want to call me Shior, or you even want to be formal go ahead and say Kikenna, All is fine to me." I said to him holding out my hand to shack

I opened my map I smiled and typed in what the guy said, then looked up and pointed into a direction, "The Lucky Armament is right there. you know you have a search function on the map while in settlements." I said to him showing my menu to him as well as the location of this shop and the way to it, "Because I don't want to stand in favor I'll just take you there, or not if you want to talk more." I said to him if he did not want to speak much longer.

Floor three, the floor of nature, flowers lots of them, and giant trees. This floor would be one of the most beautiful places I ever saw. It fast waves of flower fields and lovely people exploring this place. It's a rare thing to see in this 'death' game but it is a nice view. The flowers where all over the place and even for someone who grew up near a flower field, well this was nothing like I ever saw. Not only that even elven and treants walked this place. Something about a war between them with quests and a lot more. Still, with the forest in the backgrounds being almost the biggest trees, I have seen, and the flower fields going as far as the eye can see. In the distance a church that was overtaken by nature and seemed to be blocked off from the player. 

But I was here not for the view, I was here to get stronger maybe get people to get to level with me even. But I still was making it fine on my own. It was clear to me how to get stronger and being on the floor got me thinking. I heard the calming music in my workplace from time to time and even asked a co-worker why he had a picture of just flowers on his desk, As he would simply say, to get himself more focus. Maybe this floor could help me focus on getting better at fighting and slowly getting stronger over time. I knew how to handle my glaive and I was not going to back down now, I need to get stronger just as I promised as well that I just want to get stronger now no matter what I do. With my armor being only just two silver shoulder plates and having some leather protection under my pink jacket. As I place my goggles over my eyes and went full-on into the wild trying to level up.

It has been days now maybe 4 days that I have been on this floor, night and day both came past, so I guess I can say I ... um well did not sleep. My goal was to get stronger and was completely fixed on this to gain levels faster, it was at least better on this floor then on floor one. However, after I defeated my last treant, my body betrayed me right away. I walked a few feet away after the battle and before I knew it I felt with my face right into the flower bed being exhausted and tired maybe even a bit hungry. Turning to my back I looked up at the sky, it was moving slow and I felt like the wind could just drag me away. Yet I seemed to give up for a moment closing my eyes. And before I knew it I fell asleep in the flower field. My body slowly breathing as my hair got a few flowers stuck in it as well as still having my goggles over my eyes as they began to fog up a bit. My jacket was a bit open and my silver shoulder plates were giving off a good shine for anyone that walked by, I would say a random person would be even blinded if the sun shined right into them and reflected off of them.

Looking at my stats I kind of forgot other people could see my menu as I opened it. It was not that hard for anyone to get the feeling I was wasting time here with the level I am. But for a moment I was focused on seeing how I could set up a good build and make my start show off with a build I wanted to lean into. But then as I was not paying attention a kid walked up to me asking me something. I looked up slowly still having my menu open, Looking at his face, I think he was about a few years younger than me. He asked me something, I tilted my head a bit, "The lucky what? sorry never heard of it," I said looking down at my menu again before he spoke up again that got my attention again.

I was caught off guard a bit for a moment as he said this and I looked down at my stats for a second, "Hehe~, No worry. wait... you never saw someone of my level on the lower floors?" I closed my menu and held my hand to my chin for a second, "Guess that's where I go wrong then,  Maybe I should find people with higher level then," I said bluntly to myself. before looking up at the kid again. "Ooh, is that what you call yourself, plebians. That doesn't really sound nice I must say, but I guess I have heard worst like bottom feeders. But um yeah not speaking about that now, I was just looking for someone to willing to level with me." I said to him with confidence.

Then it came to my mind, I was approaching people, this time someone esle was approaching me. Time to ask them the hard one then, "If you don't mind, would you like to level with me then? I know if you want to say know and stay on the lower floors because it is saver, and I know I just asked something dumb but you won't die," I said to him Knowing people would say know I came up with a back up idea, "I can give you col if you don't want to, or help you learn a few tricks and stuff as well um... I can do something you want," I said to him knowing most people would at this point wanted something to trade.

@Koga

"Ha...ha~, Well. If you want to. And the last time I slept... Um, well I think that was ... three days ago," I said scratching my head a bit feeling a bit awkward that a random stranger noticed my stomach. I would normally just play it off just like I'll try now, "Ooh no worry, I can go on without sleep and food for a few days. I do it all the time so I can do it here too probably." I said to Morgenstern, with a smile really trying to play off how hungry I really was as well, I didn't want to bother him for getting me food. But I was a bit too late on that as the guy already seemed to have made up his mind. "Aah... um s-sure. You mean the big fortress in the mountains then," I said as I followed him to the teleport pad.

"Morgenstern, before we go. I want to thank you If you don't want you really don't have to come with me to floor seven. I can take care of myself, I'm an adult woman I know how my body works. It should be weird if I did not after 24 years or so now," I said to him before getting to the pad and waiting for him to join me to floor seven.

I was on floor one, what the hell was I doing here anyway. I am Level 21 and most mobs around here are weaker than me. I walked in front of a store to see my reflection. Looking at my reflection I touched my hair and nodded. Jep Today I feel like wearing my hair in a ponytail. Grabbing a hairband I seemed to have around my arm and set my loss hair into a ponytail. Looking myself up and down again, Silver shoulder plates with a small spike on it, as well as a Pink jacked and black shirt, wearing black and white shorts with leggings and high boots. Not only that I also was wearing some accessories like I had my goggles around my neck as well as an orange tie.

Staring at my reflection a bit I smiled at it and moved on. What was I thinking really, I could have done that in a mirror at the inn I'm staying in. Well, it's done now nothing to do about it now. Looking about maybe I could get something done on the floor, sure I would stick out being higher level and with a Perfect weapon on my back, it would not be hard to spot me. Well, maybe I should keep up with what I promised to someone, to find someone and not be left alone Guess that what he meant at least.

Walking right into the plaza, I looked around to see anything or at least anyone who wanted to help me get stronger. I walked up to a few players and asked them "Hey, Can you help me on the higher floor?" I said to a group of players, they looked at me like I was some mad woman, "You crazy, We will be staying right here where we are saved." and then they walked off. Over and over I got this response from people, Am I not doing this right, most people want to level right, its the way to get out here, and with the higher floors open you can level quite fast now. And with my level being this high, people would know that I am strong and can kill most things in one hit right, or did they not see it. I held my chin and went over to a bench sitting down and looking into my stats a bit, not paying attention anymore.

Thread Summary:

Azhoda can't repeat the quest <<Secret Medicine Of The Forest>> Any more

Azhoda: 3 SP | 400 Col

I really was trying to set up a plan in my head for a quest to do next, The more I did quests the better level I become. But I remember someone said, um who was it again, Ooh sorry Morgenstern. Maybe I need to find someone who wants to do threads with me and then I get to level up faster and get my level even better. Ooh yes, Maybe um IDK um the next field boss. The one on floor two should be good, easy as well I think I can take it alone but maybe not. Uuugh I don't like social interactions at all and I just need to get my level. But maybe it is not that bad, I had not really interactions with other players before so maybe I can find out how people here are and what they want, OH Use them to my goal to gain levels fast.

Once out of the village I look around for a hot second and then "UUUUUGH! Why do the NPC's have to feel so real! Cant, they are downgraded or something." I said as I walked out of the gate and back onto the road. Opening my System and looking at the things inside it, Then out of nowhere a loud growl came from my stomach. My energy just dropped to 0. "uugh, and now this too! Body, work with me okay!" I said holding my stomach and started walking again totally ignoring my stomach again. Ooh, I would have been schooled for sure by anyone at my work for not eating at all. But Dam this body asking for food while I'm trying to get stronger, I need to be perfect to get to my goal. I need to get stronger and one way to do that is to leave as much space for training in a day then going to eat something.

I walked outside and wanted to test something real quick to look at the elder and of course he looks at me. "Than you again Hero, Out village can survive another day now," he said to me as I stood there. "Sure I guess, If I may ask. Do you know what this it?" I said getting out my system as he looked at it. He stared and stared then looked up at me and shaken his head, "I think my eyes are getting worse, or you are just fooling me as I cant see what you are holding miss," He said to me. As suspected, He can't see my system only players can see it, but that did not matter now. "Leave it. Anyways thanks for your time sir I'll be going now," I said to him before he nodded, "No thank you, hero, I will remember this," He said before I turned around and left the village again.

At the table the man took the item I gave him and two more people came to his side, This time two priests. They helped the elder with something as they crafted something. I wanted to look over their shoulders but the second priest seemed keen on not letting me see it. In a few seconds, the old man turned to me and nodded. "While you here you can see the medicine work on their own. But here if your reward miss for helping even if you didn't need to," He gifted me some col and I got a pop up in my face saying Quest completed as well with the amount of col I just got as well as my EXP bar going up a bit. It proved to me that doing the quest around the bosses of the floor gave me more EXP than normal. "No problem I guess, um... Well thanks," I said as I turned around to look over my shoulder as the elder passed me to walk outside while the priests inside started to give medicine to the sick.

Taking out the item The man looked at it and his smile became as wide as it could, Ha never seen something work so good without the model bugging out and all. "So you went into that dreaded forest to claim the antidote for the venom this creature laid on us." He said taking the item from my hand and walked inside for a second. I peeked inside as well to see what was going on in there because I could and The man, surprised to my action waved me in. "You want to see it work its magic on out sick, Well just make sure not to touch any of them. I don't know if they can infect you," he said as He led me to a table in the back of the church. Looking left and right I saw people sitting on beds and bedrolls They seemed tired and where all coughing or sneezing. I still remember when my dead was like this it was just so, sorry dad, annoying to hear every time.

"Hello there Miss, I'm happy to gain some visitors but we are in some trouble. You seemed like the adventuring type," He said to me and as I tilted my head, Oh yea true I did not accept the quest here but somewhere else. "Well sir, I must say, I already got word of your town having trouble with an illness," I said politely, already knowing how the NPC's react to players, as they seemed to see is as adventures of another world, brought here to help the people clear out the world from the evil castle on the top. Now I just wanted to know how the NPC would react if I already did the quest but accepted it by the system and just did the quest. His face turned into a big wide smile, "Ooh, did I hear that right. You knew of the illness here so you came to help didn't you." Well yes and no I just want to EXP from the quest, "Well I did, and already got something that could help," I said getting into my pocket.

With my goggles up I started to take up speed moving over the road Before I knew it I was near to the village. Jumping over a small fence as I placed my glaive into the ground and jumped over it. Sticking in the landing I walked on putting my goggles on my forehead and walked to the quest marker. This village seemed calm and like any old village, I have seen in some of these documentaries. Looking around I did hear coughing and sneezing from more NPC getting closer to the NPC quest marker as I did so. Standing before a church was a man in robes, not a priest of something just a village elder. He turned to me and seemed to be quite happy to see me. I walked up and he looked up at me as he was bending over a bit leaning on a walking stick. 

Looking up at Morgenstern I nodded, "Guess it did, still. Guess I thought too long of a plan. Before all this... Well, my goal was to find out what this system was running on, and how people did some of the stuff they do now." I said looking back at my hands as I made a fist, "I don't know pain much, guess what I feel now is a pain. It almost the same feeling I feel when one of my designs fails me and crashes down to the ground, killing off that model forever. But I see people cry when they are in pain, and well I don't really cry, I never did. It just gives me a reason to keep going." I said as my voice did not even shake or tremble at all, almost like I didn't care. 

I stood up and I looked at Morgenstern, He seemed so calm and relaxed for all about this. Well, you could say if you were a random stranger, that both of us acted quite calm to someone dying right in front of us. "My boss always said, If you work to gain something, and you fight to get something. And I can say I have been fighting my whole life. I can say a bit of money did help me, but money is just a tool for people to like you, and I don't need that." I looked Morgenstern up and down one more time and nodded, "Alright I really font of those spiritual speeches but sometimes they can help others. I'm more about facts and prove, and don't like watching and just do. Not to say stuff but I guess I got a bit scared back there and..." Before I could finish my sentence a loud growl came from my stomach and my face went from energetic to tired and exhausted all in one go.

@Morgenstern

The fog finally settled down, and I could see my own feet again. It felt like the area calmed down as soon as the Nepent was defeated. Even if It was just a mini-boss, It was not that hard to defeat at all. With one down, That would mean the rest was to follow. I already did a few quests but it seemed these boss monsters gave the most EXP for me to use. And my plan, of course, was to become stronger now and not give up until I got to the top fighting with Morgenstern as equals. Even if I have to push people away from time to time I need to focus on my goal and my promise, I can't go back and not make them. A man's last dying wish, better make that wish a goal as well. "HAHA~!" I said as I laughed and got up as my goggles slit down onto my eyes.

Making my way out of the forest was not as simple as it was before I came here, the fog was really messing with me. But slowly I got used to the fog and moved my glaive so, that every time it moved the fog moved around it making quite the effect around my weapon. With that said, however, I still wanted to get this over with. While walking I felt like something was hanging over me, still not clear what this was I came to a path inside the forest. Following the path, I walked out of the forest and seemed to be still around the same time as I started this quest. the Village would not be far from here and walking there was the fastest way. As I walked on the path I still felt like something was wrong, like I was low on energy or something. But I did not feel weird at all."uuugh! How long do I keep this feeling," I said to myself holding my glaive in one hand while still holding it down to the ground making sure not to be caught by surprise.

Standing there as the fog slowly flew away from my glaive I took my weapon and did not wait any minute. With two hands on my weapon, I made sure the system was guiding me on this one and started to attack knowing where my target was. With the sword art glowing blue on my blade I made my attack right for the nepents body and hoped for the best. And I did hope well. Getting my attack into the body of the nepent variant It fell over and down to the ground before disappearing into the fog and an explosion of blue lights saw seen from the fog.

Not moments later, I got the EXP and YES this time I seemed to have gotten the item as well, knowing this I did a little dance on the spot and cheered low. I looked into my inventory and saw the quest item in it. The only thing left now was to travel to this village and give it the item so I could end this quest as well move on with some leveling.
