[F1-SP] A life on the sea? Lets sea how it is. <<EaL: Fisher>>


Recommended Posts

Zandra was stunned. Zandra was chocked. She couldn’t believe what has just happened. She just sat there, looking into the air infront of her, didn’t knew what to say. What to do. Even what to think. The only thing she did was slowly shaking her head. Left to right, left to right. Like, how could this be possible? Suddenly, everything had changed. There had been some strange feeling in the air. As she had looked around her, it looked like trees, houses, yes even NPC’s started to glitch out or something. The homely streets that went thru town of beginning, all the shop stands. Wait, had they in some way, beated the game? Had they finally got out of this world of death. But no, the glitching kept on going, and going. What the heck was going on here? She asked herself. That was when she saw it, her health started to drop!

Her eyes got struck by confusion, but she wasn’t attacked. Why did her health dropped? She hadn’t eaten anything recently that could be poisionous nor did she had any status marks below her healthbar. Still her muscle memory took out and antidote potion, just in case. Or rather, tried to take out an antidote potion. But no, her inventory was unaccesible. Her eyebrows rose as she tried again. But no, couldn’t open her inventory. What about her battle ready inventory? She tried but got same result there as well. ‘’Damnit, what is going on.’’ She started to get despearate, so she tried to activate her purify mod, as a healer she must be able to stop this. But no surprise, she couldn’t activate any of her skills or mods. She grit her teeths as her health got into the red. She started to get some real panic. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!

Tears started to roll down Zandras cheeks as the health kept dropping. Went down two five health points. Four. Three. Two. One. Zero. So, this was the end Zandra thougth to herself. All years she had fought. All countless hours she had spent in those dungeons, leveling up her strength. All time and materials and money she had spent in her alchemy store, all this she had worked for. So she would be able to protect everyone here. Protect those that cant protect themselves. But now, when she was in danger, she wasn’t able to protect herself. So, this was the end. She looked down on her hands. She raised her eyebrows, her hands was just like normal, no blue or white pixels had started to turn them into dust. No part of them had started to fade into nothingness. She turned her head back up. When she saw the healthbar once again, her eyes grew of surprise and she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

Her healthbar was no longer zero, it had only been zero for a split second. To short time for the shatter animation to go in effect. Instead she saw some letters in it. ‘’Updating…’’ it said as the green bar slowly but steadily filled up to full. She let out a deep sigh of relief. She wouldn’t die today after all, and that felt good. Thou she found out a lot of weird things. Her level was much lower, her health was lower, yeah, most of her stats have lowered. It must have been, a huge revamp? An update? It was the first one Zandra have ever been experiencing in this game of death. Her brain, that before entering sword art online haven’t done much except playing games, especially mmo’s. To survive an mmo, she needed to quickly adapt. You need to know how relatively strong you are, how strong is the enemies, what do you need to do to be stronger. Yeah, there is a lot of things to think about.

As she quickly made a quick scan thru the new info that was already out there, she saw two new proffessions. Fisher and gatherer. As she looked deeper into them, she immediately understood that she needed to train up one of these, and that as soon as possible. It seemed that you had to do a similar quest to how she became an alchemist. The quest giver was unknown thou, so she would have to work herself for some information. This, she had nothing against, quite the opposite. She was kinda tired of everything being so easy and weak. Would this update give back the feeling of a game? A game where you must put in more then a tiny bit effeort. She felt her excitement rise as she headed to a lake where she knew she had seen a fisherman. Before the update there haven’t been any questgiver there, but who knows, maybe that had changed.

Much like she had thougth, there was a fisherman, sitting on a bridge. She went up to him with a smile. ‘’Hello there, Im interested in learning to become a fisherman. Do you know anyone that can teach me?’’ Zandra said friendly to the man. ‘’Hehe, well yes that I know. Anthony is the man to talk to when it comes to learning the amazing art of fishing. You will find him at the lake north of townof beginning. I wish you the best of luck and may the sea be with you.’’ He man said before he went back to his fishing. ‘’Thank you very much.’’ Zandra replied before she quickly headed off back to town, warped down to floor one and rushed north. She was sure what place the man meant, but last time she was there, no NPC had been in sight. But she couldn’t think about that. New update, new NPC’s.

She saw a silluette close to the water, maybe that was the one she was looking for. As she gets closer he had started to approach her with a lifted hand. Zandra wouldn’t lie, the man was quite handsome with a great face, flowing hair and muscular but not bulky body. ‘’Hi, are you the fisherman that can teach me how to fish?’’ Zandra asked .  "Anthony Gill, at your service," he announces, executing a quick bow. "Let me guess, you were looking for someone old, with a long white beard, and a pipe?" Waggling his eyebrows, the man adds, "Sorry to disappoint. Now, what can I do for you?" Zandra paused a few moments before she explained. There was no need to fill out any details. After all, he was an NPC and must already know why she was here. ‘’I wanna learn the art of fishing.’’ She said. Short but clear. "I am honored you would come to me for help. Since we're friends, I'll let you in on a little secret." Reaching into his pocket, Anthony draws out a small tin, then offers it to you. "This is a special bait, because a local priest prays over it in a top-secret ceremony.  I'm the only one in the world who has it, so don't bother looking for it anywhere else. If you use it, you'll catch the rare any mysterious Rainbow Fish, which you can harvest for Gleaming Scales. Catch the fish, bring me a scale, and you'll know all there is to know about fishing." Anthony tells her in a cheerful voice. Zandra receives the special bait. She looks down on it and nods. ‘’Got it, Im gonna catch this rainbow fish for you. Just you wait.’’ She says and grabs a fishing rod that Anthony holds out to her.

Zandra took the rod and the special bait and headed down to the lake. She was excited to try this out as well as to earn the right to be called a fisher. She saw a big rock a bit out and decided that standing on it was a good spot to get fishes from. Luckily it alkso was smaller rocks, pointing out of the water with equal spaces for her to jump on them to reach the big one. As she stood on the rock, she held a tight grip of the rod and threw out the hook. She sat down and waited for the fish to bite on the hook so she can pull it up. But nothing happened. Zandra just sat on the rock, waiting for anything to happen. A deep sigh and she was just gonna give up when her luck changed. There was something on the hook. She pulled it up and dropped her jaw when she saw the catch.

The dropped jaw on Zandras face turned into a smile. A very excited smile. She had thougth that she would have to get like, a ton of normal fishes first. Maybe even some boots. But no, she got a rainbow fish on her first try. She could barely believe it herself. But there it was. Excited but carefully she jumped across the rocks to get back to steady land. There she laid the fish on the ground. She brought out a dagger and started carving in the flesh of the water-creature. The first tries she accidentally destroyed the rainbow scales. But third times the charm. She bent very carefully and delicately to not ruin the scale that she was gonna deliver to the gentle fisherman. And when she finally had it, she rose and held it up against the sun. The shine it gave when she held it up and reflect the sun was truly beautiful.

With a smile on her face and shine in her eyes, Zandra walks up to Anthony the fisherman. Proudly, she holding forward the rainbow scale towards the man that had borrowed her the special bait. ‘’Here you are. I am probably born for this, got the fish on the first try. Guess that is pretty rare right?’’ well, the NPC infront of her probably wouldn’t understand a single word she says, except that she have finished the quest he game her. Maybe he didn’t evet even would react different because of her short time it took. Like, it must have been one of the shortest catches since she got it on the first try, Or wait, maybe it was like that intentionly. That anyone that picked up the quest from Anthony, would get the rainbow fish on the first try so player would be more motivated to pick up the fishing profession.

As reply, Anthony the fisherman smacked her on the back. It took her by surprise so she took a step forward.’’I knew you could do it!’’ he started with a quick wink.  "I knew there was something special about you from the moment I saw you. As a gift from me to you, you should keep the scale. Just don't go giving it away now, because the next time you want one, you'll have to fish without my special bait." He added as he took back the special bait that had made it so Zandra catched the so called rare rainbow fish on her first try. Thou she could keep the scale. And that, that was something that made her very happy. Scales like this is the reason why she is picking up the fishing profession. She also going to need a lot of them, so every extra scale is good.

‘’If you’re ever in the are again, don’t be afraid to visit. You know you’re always welcome.’’ The kind fisherman finished off. And with those words, a notification popped up infront of Zandra. It congratulated her and said that she had acquired the <<Fisher>> profession. As Zandra closed the pop up, turned around and left Anthony behind her, a smile was on her face. 3.0 may have arrived to throw their life and stats over. But it haven’t even been twenty four hours and Zandra had already started making new progress. Progress to adapt to the new way of gaining strength. To gaining better gear in this case. Yesm she loved her Teseleths fury that is true. But there is another kind of weapon that she have always dreamed about. A weapon, that would make damage trully terrifying, maybe that will make her known as something else then the friend of a player killer.

A two handed axe with, no, not a two handed axe. By some reason, the new system have made the Warhammer cover all the AoE attacks that previously have been taken by the axe. Zandra had the choice to keep her weapon as a axe and have to change her whole combat-style. Or she could just change the name of her weapon-type and keep the same look, combat style and AoE damage heavy attacks. She took out her Tesekeths fury, that she had been gived back from Oscar that she had let borrow it on undecided time. She was seeing it as lost, but now she have gotten it back. And the words she still rembered someone back in the real world had said really was correct in this case. I only realise what you have once it is gone. And yes, she realized what Teseleths fury truly was while she let Oscar borrow it.

And the weapon she so dearly wanted, was a demonic one like her Warhammer Teseleths fury. But with a small difference. Instead of the hot, fiery burn enchantment that her current weapon is having, she wanted it to be holy damage. She could just imagine, a weapon that had both the holy damage as well as the fallen damage. That would indeed be something amazing she thougth to herself. The day she had that, she would be complete when it comes to weapon. But as in all games, weapon and damage output is not everything. If you dies before you can attack, it doesn’t matter how much damage you can deal, because you already dead. You also need defensive stats. And yes, back before this new update, she could go around naked with her overpowered health combined with the battle healing skill, not many people would be able to take her down unbuffed.

Especially not since she was in possession of the healing skill that could bring her up a lot if she started to get close to half health. A smile on her lips when she rembered that day. A day when one of her friends, or she thougth he was her friend, stabbed her. He stabbed her again and again and again… Thou even since she didn’t weared any protective armor or any other equipment, he hvnt been close to put her in a dangerous zone. And that player was in possession of a unique skill as well. But yeah, with this new update, she wasn’t quite that powerful anymore. That have been the biggest change to be honest. Most of her stats have dropped. And they have dropped a lot. Like her health, it have dropped down to half of what she had been having the day before yesterday. Same with her energy, she wouldn’t be able to just go on and on and on anymore. She would have to keep her energy in mind.

Yupp, that she had to remember when joining up with Itzal again. She needed to find out how much damage they could do to each other. It may seem wrong to attack another player yes, but if it was to find out how strong hits they can survive or how many hits they needed to do to take mobs and other players down it would probably be a good idea. She just wonder what her husband would think about it.

Zandra had just mindlessly strolled forward from the lake whjile she had dived into her thoughts. When she looked up again she saw the familiar buildings that was the outskirts of the town of the beginning. ‘’Hehe, so Ive walked this road so many times, I got back to it with my legs’s musclememory.’’ She said and giggled to herself. Was she becoming to much into the game? Who knows, one day she maybe turns into an NPC even.

So, now that she was back into the town of the beghinnings, she unequipped her heavy armor Inferno, as well as let the two handed Warhammer go back into her battle ready inventory. When she had left the town, the streets had been close to empty of players, only NPc’s that inhabited the town here and there to make it look more alive, but players no, there had been one, maybe two. Thou now it seemed more players had decided to do what she did, to start their adventure. Maybe you could even call it start a new adventure. She took a deep breath, filling her lungs with the air of the town, letting out in a long breath and looking at the sun. ‘’Just you wait Kayaba. You may think you are safe in your castle up there, but you are wrong.’’ She knit her fist. ‘’I will come for you. I will find you. And I will kill you.’’ She said with her ruby globes burning of determination. Her second adventure started, now!

As she stood there, looking at the sun, she herd two players to her left giggling as they past her. Maybe they thougth that she was crazy or something. She just gave them a glance. They may think whatever they wanted, she was telling the truth. She will keep fighting. She wont let anything stand in her way. Together with her friends Hestia, Macradon, Calrex, Ariel, Shield, Baldur, Morg, Jomei and most importantly her husband Itzal. Together they with the other frontlienrs she soon would get to know, they will push thru to the top. One hundred floors was nothing, it may place whatever they want in their way. Monsters. Puzzels. Challenges. Whatever it will be, she didn’t doubted that they together will be successful. And one day they will stand infront of the gates to the castle, and bring. It. DOWN! Indeed, she looked forward to get to know the other players that had participated in the last floor boss fight.

Because in the fight, there was so many new players. So many players she had yet to get to know. She had spent a day with Yuki back then. But she was quite low leveled back then. Damn she had grown and progressed a lot. Zandra wondered if she had been starting a guild yet. Well, it didn’t mattered at the moment. Before being all friendly with everyone, she needed to start her journey to become a frontliner again. She still needed to decide what role she would take. She couldn’t be everything anymore like she was in the fight against the Shadow. She actually looked forward to that as well, even if it made her weaker. To be forced to take help from other and not be able to solo everything on her own. That would also give her reasons to spend more time with other players, and hopefully she would make other players accept her as the one she is.

She knew her past may be a bit dark, all those months she spent all alone in her big house. Back then, the only person that had accepted her had disappeared without a word. She had patiently waited to her to one day come back. But that day had never happened. And thanks to her standing up for Ariel and being on her side after the player kill she did, so many relationship bridges had been broken. Why couldn’t people understand why she did standing up for Arile? What if she hadn’t done that. Ariel would have been almost all alone, and loneliness is not the correct medicine if you shall come back from doing some dark actions. Zandra was going to help her get back on the right track. And then the lioness had disappeared as well, leaving Zandra in loneliness. But yeah, a new update, a new world, new skills, new peoples, but most importantly:

A NEW ZANDRA!
