There was nothing happening in Krycim at this hour. The shops and homes were locked up tight and nestled in their dream like state. However, there was one bit of life still out in the darkness. A pair of emerald eyes contrasting the dim light of the settlements street lamps. The short, cloaked figure made her way through the town with no goal set in her mind. An aimless wander with nothing but a dagger and a potion. She did not know what the purpose of the items really were, but she could use them to protect herself. It starts with this. She wasn't the only cloaked wanderer around at this time. Another, taller figure, a man with a light, soft voice approached her. A testament to her strength? They wanted to fight with her? For what reason? Does it even matter at this point? The entirety of Aincrad was going to die in this hell hole. What reason was there to struggle? He asked her to follow him. An odd feeling of change seemed to pass through the child her legs moved on their own. Edited May 13, 2020 by Assassin Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Assassin 0 Posted May 13, 2020 Author #2 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) A sense of doubt, yet at the same time, promise. What was she even capable of? Despite the video game giving it's users the skill to perform impossible feats of strength and dexterity, she was still a tiny little girl that was luck she was able to wield a dagger. A normal one-handed sword is just too heavy for her. Using a lighter frame makes the sword brittle and easy to break, it wasn't something she was willing to get used to. A dagger was simple. A small weapon unaffected by the need for weight, but just as deadly as a sword. The Gemini's words fell on a deaf set of ears as it revealed it's true nature. A doppelganger, it was her? Or, was she it? Too much time had past, it's difficult to remember clearly. Surely this trick of the system was to test her mental acuity and fortitude. She didn't want any part of it, but it was too late. Combat had already begun. The copy-Assassin's blade dug directly into the girl's face. Her eyes widen as the copy pauses in mid motion and then explodes into data. Is this fear?

Assassin 0 Posted May 13, 2020 Author #3 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Poof. Gone in an instant. The death of that person was on her hands. Was that actually her? Was it supposed to be symbolic or something? No, the moment she walked out of that safe zone with this person, one of their fates were sealed. She did this and no one else. MuRdEr. She didn't mean to do it, in fact what did she even do? The blade barely nicked her and it was the death of a poor soul that just wanted to test their strength. She hadn't realized just how powerful she was. The game, this place, it wasn't like the real world. A child like her had no power in the real world. All it took was a set of mechanics in code to make her more powerful than her adversary? Too much math, but her power outmatched theirs. All she did was stand still... What else could she have done to mend the situation? Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Assassin 0 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #4 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 The little girl looked down at her hands. No blood. She didn't do it! They killed themselves, right?! The scenario scared her mind, over and over again it played. The cut was on her face, she could feel it, not like one in the real world, but it was there. The red stripe only adding to the canvas of scars on her face. She fell to her knees. What kind of awful world is this? The power to take a live should not be given to any person. In this world, she had attempted to just survive as a person and try to live, but now the death of a person was on her hands. The realization slowly was coming to the girl. Get out. Need to get out of here! The girl got up off her knees and started to make her way back to the safe area. She would be safe there... Hopefully. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Assassin 0 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #5 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) As she passed through the safe area's barrier, she had expected the guards to jump on her and do something awful. Kill her? Lock her up? She took another person's life! What was going to be the consequences. She knew how to get her way, but she never intended to kill anyone! Wind blew quietly though the town of Krycim. The girl stood at the entrance to the city with hesitation. If she passed through this safe area or if a guard, or someone saw her, they would take her to jail. They would kill her. They would shun her for the awful thing that she did. They did nothing. The Assassin waited with bated breath, terrified of what was coming when she stepped through this barrier. Her shoes clicked against the stone pathways that led into town. Nothing. She got further. Nothing. Passed by a town guard. Nothing. Why would they not stop a murderer? Edited May 14, 2020 by Assassin Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Assassin 0 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #6 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 The guard waved at her with a slight smile. Her shocked expression would have confused anyone around them if they weren't Non-Player Characters. Not that she knew the difference between them and a real person, otherwise she wouldn't have that face in the first place. What was she supposed to do with this? Should she turn herself into the guards? Spend the rest of her time here in jail, or just end it by letting them kill her? Fear is eating me alive. No, she wouldn't. This would be her secret and no one was going to find out. She couldn't spend the rest of life in jail when she was only 12 years old! She wouldn't do it! It was that guys stupid fault for attacking her when he was so much weaker! She was in the right! That's why the guard didn't attack her! Yeah! That's what it was! This wasn't her fault! The girl hurried through town, looking for the teleporter, she needed to get away from this place. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Assassin 0 Posted May 19, 2020 Author #7 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) "F-Floor 1: Town of Beginnings!" Her voice rang out to whatever entity controlled these benign teleportation points in this game. The amazing clash of warping colors enveloped her vision, blinding hues overpowering everything else. Suddenly she was back on the first floor, where a low level player like her belonged. The Gemini had died to her hands, somehow. She wasn't even sure how it happened. What made her powerful? This gear she had made to keep herself safe? Was she just that strong? Questions and questions she couldn't answer, nothing made sense. Out into the safe zone, the Assassin tried to find something, anything to fight. She needed to know just how powerful she was. A fight with some monsters would be enough proof. She charged head first into a group of boars. Three of them just minding their own business and eating some grass. Assassin came up on them and pulled out her dagger.

Assassin 0 Posted May 19, 2020 Author #8 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) The crimson red dagger pierced past her emerald irises. A pack of boars minding their own business would rue the day they decided to eat grass here. The blade seemed to take control of her, it felt natural. The power in it was better than normal, she was strong! The girl's body moved on it's own, leaping towards one of the boars and slashing in it's direction. It squealed for it's life and ran away when she approached. When she missed, the color of the blade faded away and the boars all descended upon the child. She was pummeled by two of them, knocking her to the ground and causing them to explode instantly. They dropped some items that she picked up by going near them. That was pretty cool! She was much stronger in this world, and enjoying that change, a lot. If she did the quests and junk, could she get even stronger?

Assassin 0 Posted May 22, 2020 Author #9 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Assassin was ready to finish off this last boar, taking her dagger in an underhanded grip and attempting to slash the boar in half. It continues to elude her, stopming out of the way of her attack and head butting her directly in the stomach. This time, the boar doesn't exploded like the first ones did? Why not? She picked herself out of the grass while the remaining boar squealed out to it's friends. Three of them came running out of the tall grass, whining with anger and charging at her like wild animals. Well, that is what they were. Two of them connected with her, hitting her directly in the stomach and knocking her back to the ground. An "Oof-" escaped her lips as the boars hit her. Still they exploded to her dominance - Whatever the hell it was that the potion was doing to her. She just knew it would make the quest easy to do.

Assassin 0 Posted May 22, 2020 Author #10 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Down to only two boars again, she braced herself for the next round of attacks. More squealing brought even more boars. She was getting dangerously close to having killed a dozen of them at this point with her little 'touch me and you die' thing. Back up to four boars now they all leapt on her at the same time, three of them collided into her, all exploding on contact and disappearing forever. Then there was only one little piggy! With her dagger in hand, she attempted to make another attack on the remaining boar, making sure that her health bar was still doing alright. Thankfully, she was still capable of fighting with half of her health bar nearly gone. She would fight a few more then get out of here. It was nice to be able to gain money for this, even if it was going to be a minuscule amount of col in the long run.
