Wulfrin

"That tracks honestly," Wulfrin sighed at yet another lead going cold. "Nari and I had to track the big bear back to its lair." Wulfrin thought back to his time undergoing this quest what seemed like forever ago. The details were again extremely hazy. The main thing that had stuck with him from that attempt was the dungeon after the fact. He had to be bailed out by Freyd and Morningstar as they had entered the Cave of Wonders. Was it pleasant? Not in the slightest, but at least Wulfrin had some vague idea of where to start looking. "The Great Deku Tree might not be a bad place to sta

"No worries," Wulfrin said as two other players made their way over to him and Acanthus. "What's on the agenda?" The first of the two others to arrive was a familiar face. Morningstar, fabled leader of The Tracker's Alliance and Frontline DPS extraordinaire. He had disappeared suddenly during a game that the rest of the guild was participating in. Wulfrin was thrilled to have met up with him again. "Kind of," Wulfrin also replied to the question posed by his guild master. "Saw Acanthus over here looking a bit frazzled, so I figured I'd check on her. We've also only ever seen each oth

"Wonderful," Wulfrin said as he gathered up his charges for the day. "Onwards back to Zackariah's place." Wulfrin once again took the lead back to the Town of Beginnings. He pointed out more packs of mobs as they passed, making sure to give a detailed info dump of what not to do. Really it was all a primer for what was to come, so he hoped they were paying at least some attention. If they weren't it wasn't a big deal truthfully. He was prepared for a fight, but pretty much anything down this far posed little threat. As he walked he thumbed through his inventory screen and materialized a s

"Thanks for your help, Morningstar!" Wulfrin said as he exited the Honeydew and Hushwind. "I'll swing back by when I have the necessary pieces. Catch ya later!" *DING* Wulfrin's HUD lit up with the notification of a message hitting his inbox. The curious timing was almost comical, as Wulfrin was just about to send a message to the sender. It was Jomei requesting that they group up and head after Kumatetsu. Having finished finding the items on his incredibly long shopping list, Wulfrin formulated a quick message of response. To: Jomei From: Wulfrin

"Hey Demian," Wulfrin said as he tracked down the wandering chef. "Guess what! It's time for me to restock again. My recent adventures have completely tapped me so I'm recovering." Wulfrin handed over the list he had formulated and eagerly awaited the food. The food he usually acquired from Demian might not be bursting with flavor, but Wulfrin couldn't deny the results. Now that Wulfrin was adventuring more and more on his own, the boffs from the food were becoming more and more important. Though the cost of buying in bulk like he usually did was a hefty hit to his wallet. "Later Dem

"Hey Bistro," Wulfrin said as he entered the all too familiar shop of Cintamani. "I'm here for another restock. Apparently being a frontliner is just as taxing on the wallet as it is on the energy bar." Wulfrin put together a small collection of items. The majority of his required items were not present at his fellow guildmate's shop. Having selected the items, he placed his required payment of materials on Bistro's counter before turning to leave. His shopping list grew shorter, but he still had another stop to make. "Late Bistro," Wulfrin waved. "We really should quest together at

"Okay cool," Wulfrin said to himself as he eyed Calisto's HP bars. "Decent dent but that was also with twenty-three other players helping out." His blade began to resonate with the echoing sound of Zandra's command. The icy mist pooled around his feet as he watched the beast prepare it's onslaught against their shadowy tank. As the giant Kumatetsu knock off recovered from playing with its chew toy, Wulfrin spotted his opening. The area around him shook as he moved at in human speeds, closing the distance in seconds. Icingdeath arced across the bear's underbelly. In its wake, a gash even l

"Well that was fun," Wulfrin chuckled as he started his trip back to the warp gate. "Definitely Hell beyond that gate though." "I'd say so," Konteris agreed inside Wulfrin's head. "Though I'm not to keen on wading through two opposing factions for a dungeon." "That just means the loot will be that much better. Besides Cerberus doesn't seem to respawn that quick, so we should be able to go in at full. Assuming I come straight here." "I suspect the Cerberus rematch will be slightly more difficult than this one was." "I'm fully aware. That's why I had a special armor commissio

The soldiers recovered from their stunned state. They continued to enclose on Wulfrin's position. This time Wulfrin let them get close enough that he didn't need to rely on his custom skill for mobility. He wasted no time raking his sword across the form of each devilish hellrider, causing a cascade of fractal data motes to fall around him. He glanced behind him to double check the gate was still open. As far as he could tell it wasn't making an effort to close on its own so he would likely have to enact the motion himself. "Through the gate!" Wulfrin called to no one but his familiar.

"Another wave incoming," Konteris announced as he and Solaris returned to Wulfrin's side. "If you can take these out quickly, you should be good to leave." "Fantastic news." Wulfrin chuckled. "I'll fell this wave and then we bounce. I think we've over stayed our welcome." As promised four more devilish scouts, Hellriders they seemed to be called, emerged surrounding Wulfrin again. This time though, he focused his mind ant manifested three shades to assist him. These were of course near identical copies of himself, though attire wise they wore his Fallen Angel Garb. One strike from ea

The group of devilish soldiers closed in. Of course this was as Wulfrin intended. Like moths to a flame, they surrounded Wulfrin, their blades and spears armed to strike. Wulfrin was faster. Much like the champion of the Floor 24 Coliseum that he had bested, Wulfrin drew his invisible circle, marking his territory. Typically this motion was a traditional samurai technique, but lacking a katana, Wulfrin's longsword would have to do. Funny things like that happen playing a Japanese game. Four precisely timed strikes went out as each soldier attempted to encroach his realm of influence. Honestly

Wulfrin's hair stood on end. In a split second, their conversation interrupted by a pack of four devilish soldiers. They had no armor, but carried silvered weapons. In a quick motion Wulfrin intercepted them with his AoE stun. He had to buy himself some time. He also needed to keep up momentum as form the look of his assailants they were likely scouts. Wulfrin glanced back to the now open gate behind him and realized why Cerberus was placed where he was. It wasn't to keep players out, it was to keep this war in. "We can't let them cross the gate." Wulfrin planted himself between the gate

The duo stepped across the threshold, and immediately the heat became more intense. They had entered a sprawling plain of cinders and brimstone, caked in black ichor and bodies of fiendish creatures of both demonic and devilish origin. Immediately Wulfrin's mind cliqued as to what world he had just entered. This wasn't your typical Donte's Inferno scenario, but a massive war between the evil forces of both chaos and law. "The Blood War." Wulfrin muttered as he over looked the sprawling battlefield before him. "You're familiar?" "Unfortunately. It also means we can't stay long. T

Wulfrin turned his attention to the massive gate before him. It was definitely infernal in make, so he was leaning more and more towards his suspicions being correct. From what he could tell there was no obvious way to open the two massive doors, save the giant knockers way too far out of reach. "Who forged this thing?" Wulfrin asked quizzically. "Fucking Fire Giants?" "Wouldn't be too far out of the question." Konteris added. "Though none of my people have ever hear players mention them even existing." "Yeah, but your kind is kind of floor locked so your data is limited."

Wulfrin pivoted and turned his attention to the remaining two mobs. He was making exceptional pace this go round, and soon would be crossing the threshold of the gate. This version of Cerberus was merely a stepping stone, as Wulfrin had found out that you have to rematch the Infernal Guardian for the Sword Art to drop. No matter, at least he could get a peak in before returning in full force. His blade hummed to life again as he executed another sweeping AoE attack. Two more showers of fractal data particles exploded from his now downed foes. A few seconds later, a pop up apeared signaling the

Wulfrin approached the boss arena with caution. Sure enough there was the big boy himself curled up in front of a massive double door gate of the same wrought iron as the chains that connected it to the floor above. The downside was Cerberus was not alone. There were, by Wulfrin's count three other mobs orbiting their boss like guard dogs. An apt title as they appeared to be some kind of an infernal great dane, likely hellhounds. This was quickly confirmed when one came close enough for Wulfrin to see it's name. As Wulfrin stepped forward, making his presence known, the hellhounds howled

The lone and casually dressed swordsman was nearing his destination. The molten crag of the terrain was beginning to give way to large spires of obsidian, lava poured from the mountainous peaks like water. The rivers of molten rock twisted and coiled before colling and shifting the river's path. Solaris seemed to be right at home though. Wulfrin's body was beginning to get winded, but that was mainly due to adventuring strain. The heat was still being kept at nay by his Survival skill. How this could be comparable to a desert sandstorm? Wulfrin heard a loud roar form the nearby spires. At

As the journey continued, Wulfrin found his mind beginning to wander. Cerberus was classically known as the Gatekeeper of Hell. Wulfrin's mind began it's over analytical processes. If this game was going to pull from other mythologies, a detail he had noticed multiple times during his travels, then it stood to reason that this special region that Cerberus guarded was likely to be hell themed. The idea of exploring uncharted territory excited him to the point that Wulfrin picked up his pace a bit. "What do you think Cerberus is guarding?" Wulfrin asked to the ether. "You think there are an

The name of the game was travel, and travel Wulfrin did. He had dressed for the occasion, a fact he was grateful for, as the flatlands were even hotter than the volcano. This was mainly due to the ever shifting landscape created by the molten rock on the floor's surface. The terrain, hot as it may be, was at least extremely easy to traverse. Wulfrin kept himself pointed south towards the edge of the floor. From what the broker was saying, it seemed that Cerberus was likely in the mountain range border of the floor. The higher up in the floors he went the more elaborate the borders became. Why
