“I’m not too concerned about the trip,” Wulfrin said as he made a mental note of all the names and HP gauges that appeared below his. “I’m more than capable of handling anything on this floor. I’m more concerned for this one.” Wulfrin pointed to Miryu. “Miryu? Not sure if I’m pronouncing it right. Japanese isn’t exactly a fluent language for me, but she seems like she doesn’t even realize this is a game and not reality. Guess that’s a good thing considering the crazy GM that runs the place.” Wulfrin guided the group to a nearby table in the open seething area of a nearby tavern. He quick

As the pair continued down the alleyways towards the main thoroughfare, Wulfrin continued to point out key spots to remember. The most notable was a small store, The Evening Star, a player ran shop that would be a nice place to pick up some starting trinkets. "This place is called The Evening Star," Wulfrin said calmly. "A player named night runs this place. Got my first few trinkets there, in fact I'm still using one of them." He pointed to the silver ear cuffs. They increased his accuracy in combat, but he had no doubt they would eventually lose their relevance. They stopped just inside the

Wulfrin had just wrapped up a craft when a notification panel appeared in his vision. A message from Morningstar instructing him to meet up on Floor 18. Wulfrin sent a short reply affirming he would be present and set off towards the teleport gate in Coral. Immediately the stink of the swampy marsh filled his senses. He had only briefly stopped on this floor while scoping out places to set up shop. He very quickly decided this place was not to his liking. It didn't take long to find the bar, as like Star had said it was the only one. Once he had entered he scanned the room for Morningstar. It

Wulfrin followed Nari into the wilderness. The sprawling forest's canopy was dense, blocking out a majority of the midday sun. "It would certainly help if we knew what we were hunting," Wulfrin said as he started inspecting the forest floor. "Unfortunately all we have to go off is the line that I assume references Kumatetsu, the fiercest beast with unmatched strength." Wulfrin spotted some peculiar tracks in the underbrush. The tracks were much larger than any of the others he had seen and they were very clearly predatorial. "I really hope it's not whatever made these, because I really don't w

For the first time in several weeks, Wulfrin found himself leaving the small smithing shop he had in Coral to return to the Town of Beginnings. It had only been a handful of weeks since he had set out on his own journey in this new world, but today he felt a bit nostalgic. He needed materials to continue crafting at his rather ramshackle establishment, so where better to take a day than the place where it had all began. He made his way to the teleport gate and was quickly whisked away to the starting town of Aincrad. The streets bustled with NPCs shouting out various deals on rather under

"Let's see," Wulfrin said to himself as he scrolled his inventory after finishing his morning crafts. "I think I've got everything I need. New gear? Well I got that new armor, but I think I'll take the tier downgrade for Blighted Fang. Outside of going and just farming mobs, I think I've got all the levels I can. Guess I could message Nari, if she is okay with drawing the agro of whatever we fight I should be fine, but i should still be careful." Just as the suggestion was made, a message appeared in his inbox form Nari. "That settles that." Wulfrin quickly drafted a reply to Nari. To: Na

Wulfrin spent most of his time perusing the wares scattered about the shop. Not much was for sale, probably different orders. Wulfrin perked up as Ren got his attention after a bit of waiting. "Of course," Wulfrin replied with a smile. "You should thank Freyd honestly, he is doing a wonderful job advertising your place." Wulfrin took a moment to examine the new gear. "Fits like a glove. Thanks Ren!" Wulfrin was now ready to head straight into new adventures. "See ya in a few levels!" Wulfrin left the workshop in a hurry. Giving Ren a friendly salute on his way out. * * * Wulfrin Pick

Wulfrin took a seat and the cup of tea offered to him. He found himself oddly at peace in the small cottage. After a few minutes of being in the back, Morningstar appeared again behind the counter to deliver his findings. "Yeah I figured there wouldn't be much," Wulfrin replied as he collected his items. "My tier isn't really high enough to get the cool things. I am surprised there were some uniques hidden in there." He smiled as he finished the tea he was offered. "Thanks for the help though." Wulfrin shook Morningstar's hand on the way out. "Hopefully we can meet again in the field." *

Wulfrin went to work at his anvil. Today he was going to keep trying to build his inventory. Once again he left the material in the fire too long causing it to melt away and shatter. His second attempt was a smoother experience. The blade came out too brittle again, but Wulfrin was able to salvage the attempt. This meant he wasn't completely at a material deficit today, but it also meant he had once again failed. "I don't understand," he muttered to himself. "I can get the craft done first try in the tutorials but actually participating I fail every time." He packed up his tools and went to co

"Can't argue with the food comment," Wulfrin agreed. "Players have found many ways to manipulate the system to create wonderful dishes. The NPC made ones are alright attempts though. Too bad our actual body is probably hooked up to some bag in a hospital." Wulfrin reared back and struck the boulder. At last the damage seemed to cross the threshold as the boulder split into many different pieces. "Well we really rocked that challenge." Wulfrin silently cursed himself for saying the incredibly cringy line out loud. “You have harnessed your inner strength and learned to channel it outward, p

Wulfrin could have sworn he had followed the right path. The Forest of The Great Tree was confusing at best, so Wulfrin wouldn't have been surprised if he had gotten lost. He wasn't going to let his guard down though. Wulfrin had left all safety behind and had decided to venture into a PK accessible zone to speak with the appraiser deep in the woods. During his recent quests to boost his power he had come into some items he needed identified. Just as he was about to give up and use a crystal to return to Coral, he found the cozy cottage he had been looking for. Finally he had arrived at Honeyd

Returning to the familiar shop of Floor 21, The Knight Shift, Wulfrin couldn't help but smile at the forge in a roaring blaze and being pushed to its limits. Having recently received a substantial level boost, Wulfrin needed to purchase some new gear befitting his increased tier. He scanned around the busy workspace for the smith who was hard at work on a project. "Hey Ren!" Wulfrin spoke with a projected voice to ensure he was heard over the roaring forge. "Got another order for ya!" Once Ren had taken notice, Wulfrin laid out his drafted item creation forms and explained his visions to

Another day to create stock on Floor 22. The shop was barren, so it had to be done. Wulfrin started by putting some material to melt in the forge. The first was a catastrophic failure. Wulfrin had let teh forge get too hot and a majority of the material melted away. He rushed to save the second. Hammering the still glowing hot material on his anvil after rescuing it, the blade was looking promising. Unfortunately, as the blade started to take shape, Wulfrin failed to temper the metal so the new blade broke apart almost instantly. Wulfrin attempted to recover the pieces to melt down and start o

"I don't think it's weird," Wulfrin replied. "I actually think it would have changed the entirety of the gameplay style." Wulfrin reared back and cracked the boulder again with a rapid and forceful punch. "For the most part Sword Art Online is based largely on legends from the past. Think average guys like you and I with no special abilities and then we are plucked form our regular lives and forced to undertake some big time, world defining quest. They are forced to learn and adapt to their new situation. Throwing magic in would have thrown off that field." Wulfrin backed away from the boulder

After finally finding a small forge that suited his needs Wulfrin set to work attempting to build up a stock of items. While yes he could sell them, it was more likely he could use them to fuse together for more powerful items. He set to work on a few weapons. As he worked he tried his best to remember all he could from his various crafting tutorials throughout Aincrad. Unfortunately both of his attempts for the day yielded no success and he lost his materials in the process. There is always room for improvement but today felt like an extremely low blow.
