Becomes Evasive Charm [Jewlery | Tierless | Evasion III | Rec I]: A simple green coloured band which contains a small yellow charm in the shape of a lightning bolt hanging from it. Traces of self-doubt make the necklace weigh more than it ought to. (I know I can't change descriptions on upgrade. Just call it flavor) Payment. Sent 1 demonic shard to banker Second Eval

“Nymoria. It’s good to see you again. I hope you’ve been doing alright since our time in the garden.” Truth be told, she was worried about the girl. Acanthus hadn’t heard from her since their trip to the garden. While she pleased to see Silent Moments had come into its own as a shop, she couldn’t help but feel the place was a bit… somber. Not that Acanthus had any room to shame other people for that. But it was easier to worry about others than it was to worry about herself. But not easy enough to address her unvoiced concerns. “I’m here for a charm,” she said, picking out one with a ligh

Acanthus returned to the shop once she heard Ren’s work was done. She stepped into the Knight Shift yet again. If she kept pestering him for more work, eventually she would need to look into getting more permanent lodging down here just to save on time and travel costs. Then again, she did enjoy the climate and feel of floor 24 much more—maybe she could convince Ren to move upstairs. She wouldn’t have any problem bankrolling the move, but Rencesvals didn’t seem the type that was attracted to money. Even after all this time, he was still crafting armor for new players. Someone had to do it.

Yet another trip to Demian’s Kitchen. She had waited until Demian arrived on floor 24. Sometimes it took her far too much time to track the wandering kitchen down. She debated asking about adding Demian to her friends list. No, that would be too forward. She wandered into the campsite; he had chosen a covered area near the beach. It was quiet, except for the soothing sounds of waves lapping on the nearby coast. “Another order, if you have the time. Should be a big one, but nothing you can’t handle. And if you ever need some extra materials, let me know. I’ve ended up with quite a few

Acanthus: how to accept groupchat invite Acanthus: wait, sorry, I meant to send that somewhere else Acanthus: Thank you very much, @NIGHT. And hello to the the other playes in this chat. It's nice to meet you Acanthus: Players, sorry, that was a typo

Nyanko sat on her usual perch, perking up slightly when Acanthus entered the shop. For the first time, Acanthus avoided the familiar. She did her best to avoid provoking any sudden emotions within herself. Praying that she wouldn’t find NIGHT in the shop, she hastily grabbed two order forms and scrawled her request on the paper. No more flowers, no more cutesy ties to the real world. Just digital trinkets to help her find more digital trinkets. She should have done this from the start. Speaking out loud to no one, she added, “Materials are easy to find. Take them. If you need more, just a

“Back again,” she announced, stepping into the Knight Shift once more. “I’ve been doing my best to get suited up for the floor boss coming up, which means looking for some of the more powerful enhancements.” She did her best to forget about how she’d barged in here as a new player, thinking that they were something as simple as merely crafting them into the original weapon. “Riardon found some light armor with just the right enhancement. Not as powerful as I’d like, but I’m not going to complain. The armor itself is close to what I’m looking for, but I need to clean up some of the other e

The thing screeched as Acanthus snuck in with a paralyzing strike. Taking a moment to regroup, Edict hastily dug the teleportation crystal out of his inventory and pressed it into Acanthus’ hands. A trade dialog opened.

The mass lashed out with strange appendages, leaving gouges in the earth as it struck. Edict howled, drawing the creature’s attention, and raised his shield to resist blow after blow. Acanthus tried to close in and deal damage, but anytime she got close enough, a portion of the monster grew from the center mass to attack. Acanthus was sickened to realize the “arms” and “legs” it grew were just a fusion of bodies roughly estimating their human counterpart. “What is this thing?!” Edict yelled, fending off another onslaught of crystalline bodies. “The bodies are one thing, but the crystals—”

The final shadow was gone. Running over to Edict, she saw the light returning to his eyes. Relief washed over her. She picked him up, checking him over for any wounds she had missed. “A—Acanthus. I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to help…” “Stop it,” she said firmly. “Whatever is happening, it's not your fault. We need to run. Can you run?” Edict nodded, color returning to his face. YOU CANNOT SAVE HER. An eldritch howl shook the entire forest, rocking them both to their core. Then, a deathly silence. A horrific mass of bodies, studded with red crystals and shards, burst onto the pa

“You’re wrong.” Acanthus ran toward the nearest shadow. “I know I can do this.” WORTHLESS— “—Wrong!” She howled, swinging the sword with fierce concentration. The eyes of each shadow flickered, as if shocked by her stubbornness. “I’m worth whatever time I buy Edict. Then he’s going to get back up and he’s going to help me kill every last one of you!” VIOLENCE. ALL OF AINCRAD'S BEAUTIFUL QUESTIONS, AND SHE RETURNS TO THE SAME ANSWER EACH TIME. “I don’t fucking care for this right now,” she growled. “Tell me violence isn’t the answer when you aren’t sitting here trying to gut

The screams pierced her eardrums, slowly morphing into vicious, persistent laughter. From the shadows of the forest, dark figures formed and swam around her. Each of them formed red, weeping eyes, and blades made of crystal and fire. As they stepped into the dim light, Acanthus barely made out their humanoid shapes. STILL SHE STANDS, STILL SHE FIGHTS. A WASTE OF EFFORT. Acanthus wasted no time talking, choosing to lunge at the closest shadow. It melted out of range, reforming a few meters away. ALL TALK, AND NO ACTION. SHE PROMISED TO BE DIFFERENT. SHE PROMISED TO DISCARD HER KINDNES
