It had been a while since Drazyn had actually done much in the game of SAO besides simply walking around the Town of Beginnings, with fear of death on his mind. But now, here he was about to leave the massive town, having accepted a quest from an NPC named "Zakariah". The quest seemed simple enough; Find the old man some materials so he can craft with them and probably get nice reward, Drazyn wasn't interested in searching an info brokers list to find what the quests reward would be. If he was going to do something in this game, he wanted the reward to be a nice surprise. Something he could actually be somewhat excited about, a feeling that Drazyn had seemed to long forgotten in the past.

Drazyn also saw the quest as a way to help himself change. He wanted to help clear the game. He wanted to get through it. Heck, he even wanted to play the game he had saved up money to buy. But the fear of death was just so haunting to the young adult that he hadn't let himself out of his shell. He didn't want to die. If he was going to die, he should've been in that car when his mom and sister got rammed into, not like this. He thought about how much he wanted to be with them all the time. All together as a happy family again. 

He had his rapier in its sheath at his side, the Breath of the Forest, in case if he stumbled upon combat. He really was hoping it wouldn't come to that. Drazyn stopped walking out of the town right when he stood before the gates. He let out a big breath, closed his eyes for a moment, and thought about why he was here. In any case, he really should've found the game much more appealing than living with an abusive family.. Drazyn tried to tell himself that all the time, but always felt like it was his fault they were that way. He opened his eyes as he began to walk forward again, out of the safe zone and into the grass lands.

"I can do this!"

Drazyn was brave crossing the gate and walking right out into the grassland area, but with every step he took in the dewy and soft green colored grass, his bravery and courage was questioned in his mind. Was it really worth putting himself into this danger, where he could die and lose everything? But, the more he thought about it, Drazyn realized he really didn't have much to lose. His mother and sister were gone, he didn't have any friends since the move way back in middle school, and his remaining family were all abusive to him. I mean, really - why not play the game it was meant to play?

The more he thought about it, the more Drazyn wished he had been actually doing stuff all the months he spent in isolation in the Town of Beginnings. He wanted to prove to himself that he really could help everyone clear this game. It wasn't for himself though, no. It was for the countless individuals besides him that lived in the Town of Beginnings full of sorrow. Drazyn couldn't fix what happened to his mother. But in a way, he felt like by helping these people get back to their own families that were still alive, he would make her proud.

It genuinely was a wonderful day on the first floor of castle Aincrad. The sun was shining with just the right amount of white, poofy clouds spread across the deep blue sky. The morning weather couldn't have possibly been better, with a slight and just right breeze blowing through Drazyn's brown hair. It was the type of weather that would make the fairy tale character of Goldilocks happy. 

It wasn't too far into his walk, but Drazyn hadn't had too amazing luck searching for materials across the grass land. He needed to find a better spot to search for Zakariah's materials, but he really didn't feel like leaving the grasslands quite yet. He wasn't quite that willing to head out into a situation where it could be much more unsafe than out in the grass. He still had that same voice in his head as he had previously. The voice that gave Drazyn some reasoning, but maybe the same exact voice that holds Drazyn back from what he could be. The voice that always had held him back from what he wanted to be. 

But, Drazyn was driven. He was driven to make that voice die. He had something he wanted to do and he wasn't going to let that very voice stand in his way.

As Drazyn was walking, he approached a flower that perhaps looked like something good old Zakariah could use in one of his potions. It was a short flower, with almost fluorescent white colored petals that seemed to call out to Drazyn. Drazyn knelt his knee into the wet grass to examine the flower closely. He went to pick it up, hoping it could be his first material, even if he hadn't been searching all that long. Instead, as Drazyn picked it up, the flower crumbled in his hand. "Darn it!" Drazyn said to himself, slightly disappointed in the failure of a material. He then stood up and made a quick scan of his surroundings. As he looked around, he tried to think of where he should head to look for more materials. Not so far in the distance, however, Drazyn saw a forested area. It definitely would seem more natural to find materials there. Drazyn still feared for running into combat slightly, but he decided it was worth it. He began walking in that direction, ready for whatever would be awaiting him.

Hopefully, an abundance of materials so he could finish the quest and get whatever rewards the old alchemist dude would give him.

Drayzn continued to walk and he eventually found himself at the entrance to the forested area. As he walked, he was cautious, ready to grab his rapier without a moment of hesitation. Drazyn, new to the SAO combat scene, wasn't sure if the monsters out here in the forest would be any stronger than those typically found in the grasslands surrounding the Town of Beginnings. With a rapier like his, even if the monsters were a slight bit stronger, he knew he could still probably take a mob or two down pretty easily if it came down to it.

Upon entering the forest, Drazyn found his environment becoming a bit darker with the tree shade, even with the morning sun trickling through the small cracks in the leaves. Honestly, so far, the forest seemed pretty calm. He could hear the small song of a bird taking flight among the quiet and constant sound of small insects ( that presumably preferred the darker environment of the forest). The same small breeze he felt out in the grasslands traveled into the forest, making branches wave and leaves falling slowly.

Drazyn looked around the forest as he walked, staying on the clearly-used and meant for use path through the trees. He hadn't come across any mobs yet, well, any close enough to have been a threat to him. He saw a few monsters in the distance in the grassland area, but Drazyn hadn't approached them at all. But the more he thought about it, how was he going to get stronger if he was too scared to fight a dang weak little boar? 

He kept an aware eye as he continued the path and finally came to a halt when he found something that looked like it could be a material. It was a small plant that shined in the dimmed light. It was mostly green with a hint of red on its flowering surface. This time, as Drazyn went to pick the material, it stayed in one piece, and was added to his inventory. "One down!" Drazyn said as he stood up to begin heading back on his way.

But as he stood, he heard a small snarl from behind him. Whatever it was didn't seem too happy that Drazyn was taking the plant. 

"Uh oh."

As Drazyn turned around to see what snarling creature had approached him, he found himself looking into deep read gleaming eyes. "Ah crap!" Drazyn jumped backwards and immediately drew his Breath of the Forest, it seemed it was the best environment for it to be used in anyways. The monster, that seemed to be named a Dire Wolf, was not happy by any means for Drazyn's 'intrusion' into its forest. The wolf wanted Drazyn dead, the player could tell. It seemed like there was no way Drazyn could escape unless he won the battle against this monster. 

The wolf snarled again, reminding Drazyn of the danger ahead of him. "Alright," Drazyn said, "Let's dance, Mr.Wolf." Drazyn prepared his first ever sword skill, Rip Ravine, to attack the wolf. As he steadied his blade, his feet quickly began to make work of the few steps that stood between him and the wolf as the wolf got ready for an attack its way. That quick footwork turned out to be a bit of an embarrassment however as him and his shining sword tripped over a root on the ground, hitting his face on the ground. The Dire Wolf swiftly took the chance to make its own attack but Drazyn shifted just enough to dodge the lunge attack in time.

Well gosh dang! This isn't going as planned. Come on Drazyn, you can do this... Drazyn thought in his head to himself as he got himself back off of the ground as quickly as he could. The wolf hadn't done a good job of utilizing the error Drazyn made, and the young newblett of a player was lucky for that. The wolf wouldn't give Drazyn long however, even if it had given him a chance to get back on his feet again. The wolf quickly made a mad dash towards the standing player, giving seemingly all the speed it had. All it took for Drazyn to dodge it was a slight shuffle to the right as soon as the wolf got close enough. the wolf slowed down and spun back towards Drazyn as soon as it could, almost tripping itself in the process. Drazyn tried to take the advantage of the wolf's slow turnaround by jabbing it with his sword, but he just missed as the wolf dodged to the side.

The battle wasn't going well for Drazyn, but it certainly wasn't going well for the monster by any means, either. Neither Drazyn or the Dire Wolf seemed capable of landing a hit on the other, no matter how much they tried. This could end up being a very long fight if it kept up at this pace. Maybe it would have been worth it for Drazyn to buy some item with an accuracy enhancement before he headed out into the wild? Of course it would've been worth it, but it was no time for Drazyn to be having regrets. Another weak (but potentially dangerous to the level one player) charge was given from the wolf, but Drazyn quickly dipped to the side just in time, attempting to jab the wolf himself in the process. Drazyn's hit, however, was also incapable of finding its mark. If nothing else, Drazyn could definitely use this fight against a pretty easy monster as experience in the future and learn from his mistakes.

Drazyn knew at level one he didn't have enough energy to use much in the terms of Sword Arts, so his first failed attempt at one was the only chance he was going to get in this fight. Now he had to keep using just basic hits to fight the wolf, which was okay he thought because of the wolf's very slim HP bar. Now if he could just land a hit, maybe this fight would be going better. With a quick three step process, Drazyn approached the wolf so quickly that it didn't have a chance to react or move. Moving with swift motions, Drazyn pierced the Dire Wolf with his rapier, <<Breath of the Forest>>, but the wolf backed off quickly. Drazyn watched as the wolf's HP bar decreased, not quite into the orange yet though. His attention was quickly adjusted to a snarling, somehow even more unhappy wolf. 

Dire Wolf: 7/10 attacks. MISS! (-3 HP)

Drazyn actually felt a bit more frightened this time by the wolf's charge, even though it had the same gleaming red eyes it seemed more angry than it could've been before. It's hatred towards Drazyn definitely showed. The wolf quickly came at Drazyn while attempting to hit him with a running tackle, but it would prove futile once more. Drazyn barely managed to avoid the Dire Wolf's attack. Drazyn had definitely gotten just lucky enough in his ability to dodge the attack. With the wolf's missed attack, it left the beast vulnerable towards Drazyn. With the wolf wide open, Drazyn pierced his blade once again into the wolf, straight into the left side of the creature. It let out a loud howl, clearly not happy about the pain it was feeling. Drazyn got excited as he saw the Dire Wolf's HP bar dip into the orange zone. "Just a bit more!" Drazyn smirked at the wolf, as he was beginning to find a route to success in this battle.

As the battle continued on, Drazyn was definitely finding more success than before, and the wolf still couldn't pull off a hit. At the moment, it seemed like the battle was going to be a quite quick and easy victory for the rapier-wielder. Just keeping bringing it's HP down, you can do this! Drazyn thought to himself while he kept his mind focused on the battle at hand. Even a small mistake or error could mean death in this game, and he had seen the countless names that had fallen prey to the game's murderous ways on even just the first floor. But Drazyn had to do something more than just sit around. He had to make sure the ones that were still alive made it back to their homes, where they want to be, safe from the death game. Drazyn wanted free, but the more he thought about it he had no one to go back to.

But these people did. They had families waiting for their safe return, dreading a not-safe return.
