Wulfrin

"Let's get this party started then," Wulfrin said as he drew Icingdeath, instantly dropping the temperature around him. "I told Ciela we'd have shark for dinner tonight." Wulfrin leapt into the basin and came to rest at its center. For a moment there was only silence, but not long after entering a large form leapt from the shifting sands and lunged at Wulfrin. Wulfrin was faster, his blade already lit with the crimson light of his Sword Art as Terra Firma made its attempt to catch its dinner. Wulfrin's blade raked across the land shark's body as Terra Firma soared over head, coming to res

At this point Wulfrin was doing little more than occasionally waving a flower in the air attempting to keep the boars' attention focused solely on him. His only goal was to ensure these players did not fall to the mobs that had claimed so many player lives in the early days of the game, they even scared him at one point. The attractant produced by the Nepent Ovule was a suitable substitute for his lack of hate drawing skills. He was no tank, in fact quite the opposite. Sure he could take a few hits, but he didn't have the mitigation to be drawing any unnecessary hate. "Perhaps I should ta

"Goodie," Wulfrin sighed. "This place again. Well guess it's time to merk a fire chicken again. Odd that an event boss like that would spit us out amidst the fires of Floor 9, but I'm not going to complain about the free Hellstorm." Wulfrin leapt into action once more as the first to strike. He'd felled this beast multiple times solo at this point and was well aware where they were. Good news for him though, he was already planning to come this way anyway. The blazing avian predator was became engulfed by Wulfrin's Sword Art as the swordsman danced around the bird in practiced motions. Be

"Well if it isn't the guild master of the Tracker's Alliance himself," Wulfrin jested as he stepped off the teleport gate on Floor 21. "You feel like taking on ye olde Time King? I was planning to hit it myself today as a small experience boost for my friend here." Wulfrin gestured to the companion he had brought with him. Astra was one of the few players Wulfrin had been taking through some of the easier quests, but had come to him to personally learn and train under him. They'd been hitting several of the easier quests, but had yet to take on anything with a real bite. Of course Sharkba

"That's more than I have to be honest," Wulfrin shrugged. "Good to see Freyd and Morningstar are tagging a long. Pure happen stance that we've got four members of the raid team together for a quick quest." Wulfrin scanned the immediate area. No NPCs stood out as quest givers to him, but that's pretty much par for the course in Aincrad. The NPCs didn't have floating exclamation points to signify you needed to talk to them. Usually you had to go off of either talking to each individual until you found the one you need, or you got your info from a broker. Unfortunately based on Acanthus's ta

"How's about another push then," Wulfrin smirked as his blade began to shine with another art. "I'll hit it's defenses this go around and see if I can't soften them up a bit." Wulfrin's blade collided with the now recovered Demon King Ravana's form with a heavy impact, the avatar gaining a new fractal pattern akin to a cracked egg. Shatter was in full effect now, the target's mitigation dropped allowing for a higher damage output. What remained of the health bar was sliced in half as Wulfrin stepped back to regroup with his allies. The way had been paved all that remained was for them to

"Funny enough," Wulfrin chuckled. "VR Game development. Always was a fan of RPGs and when the Full-Dive system was announced, I knew that's what I wanted to do. A whole other reality filled with mythical beasts and epic quests. The irony is palpable. Though I will say I never had any plans to trap players in it against their will. My brain child also had a magic system." Wulfrin leaned back in his fishing chair and watched his bobber occasionally dip below the surface. He was essentially living in a realized version of his dream, yet the possibility of death was making the experience sour

"It lives in my inventory," Wulfrin replied to Mina's question. "Same with my tackle box. Sometimes I like to just kick back and fish when I'm out questing always better to keep it on me." Wulfrin put the items back in his coat. He appreciated the gesture of thought of letting him keep them, though the crystal felt incredibly heavy. It may prove useful to Wulfrin in the future and hopefully that situation will be more favorable than the last time it was used. "As for what happened," Wulfrin sighed as he began to allow the memory to resurface. "The biggest thing was that you didn't s

"A sound plan," Wulfrin chimed in on their defacto leader's current hit list. "I've been in parties that have taken out The Slime King and The Shadow Dragon Matriarch. Haven't done much field boss hunting though. My sword is at your disposal though. I'll play status inflictor, stuns, delays, shatters, you know the typical Tech Specialist playstyle." Wulfrin scanned the gathered group of players before him, he only recognized a few of them, Morningstar, Night, Acanthus, and Cordelia. Now that he thought about it the only two he hadn't ventured out with at least once were Night and Oscar hi

"A mistake," Wulfrin muttered under his breath. He knew full well what had caused Freyd's odd death and reformation. Just as he was about to head back down his mental rabbit hole, Freyd chimed in seemingly to change the subject. "Funny enough I found a merchant had popped up in the bazaar here in Fortaleza selling them for the Diwali event currency. Kind of good timing I'd say." Freyd's hand on Wulfrin's shoulder brought a feeling of comfort back to their current conversation. It also helped reassure him that Freyd wasn't just some figment of their shared Custom Skill. Strangely Wulfrin's

Wulfrin was doing his best "tank" impression, though his lack of hate generating skills was making it a bit difficult. He wished he could At least soften up the boars but his kit made that basically impossible. Even bare knuckle punching them would deal more damage to them once you factored in all his skills, so he was stuck occasionally flicking his wrist to cause another puff of pollenated pheromones to fill the air. At least it was keeping the boars off the newbies and by now he had the full attention of the boars still on the field. They needed to wrap this up quickly though. This quest wa

Wulfrin poked his head into the familiar shop of The Honeydew & Hushwind. There his guildmaster, the ever relaxed Mornigstar, tinkered away at the pile of appraisals he had waiting for him. At first Wulfrin was a bit nervous to disturb him, but ultimately decided he could use the company. He had come this far to handle a quest while he waited for Jomei to get in touch with him about facing Kumatetsu for Scents of the Wild. This time it was a conflict between some elves and treants. "Hey Morningstar," Wulfrin greeted. "Anyway I can convince you to accompany me on a quest? You can bring

Thank guildmate!

"Guess it's time for quest turn in then," Wulfrin shrugged. "Thing went down pretty quick, though this does remind me that I had something brewing up that I could use some extra man power on. I've got a few bosses on my radar, namely Cerberus for a new tech art. Figured we could maybe splash a few field bosses in between. Could help me get frontline ready as we push closer to the raid being open." Wulfrin looked out to the open lake before them. It was already packed from the countless other entries for the tourney, but Wulfrin knew they had already claimed the largest catch. The rest of
