[PP-F1] Dawn of the Hero Era (Valentine)

[Aru 0]

Aru awoke in his bed with a jolt. He body was still numb from the feeling of the shadows sweeping over him. His armor had held him back, and he had been swallowed by the endless abyss, and his mind went blank as everything grew dark around him. Now, he found himself in the familiar bed he stayed in during his apprenticeship with Hikoru. He stumbled out of bed, a little shaken as he opened his inventory and realized that everything, literally everything, had changed. He was given a prompt to shift his Skill Points, and he filled them out, looking into multiple new options and did his best to work with the new system. He decided to stay with his weapon of choice, his axe, and converted the ones he had bought from Shield a few weeks back. He was able to change their names, and as he held them in his hands, the rumble of power came from them as they wished to slay the creatures in front of them. He put them away and thought for a moment as he found his bearing with the new things in the game. From what he understood, there was now a way to fuse items together into one, but he needed the right materials.

He'd have that plan on the backburner as he equipped his items, which all were a bit shoddy compared to his new axes, and walked out the door. No one seemed home for the most part. The fire crackled in the living room and the faint whiff of coffee could be found, but no familiar nor Master could be found. He walked out of the house quietly with a plan in his mind. He had read that there were now Field Bosses, something that really peaked his interest. They were apparently a challenge and gave interesting new items. He wasn't interested in the items per say, but he was definitely interested in the challenge they brought to him. Tier Locks? Unique attacks? That could prove he was strong enough. He had a mantle to uphold, and as the Apprentice of Shadows, as he privately called himself, he needed to prove that he was worthy to be on the frontlines. Sure he had the stats, but he didn't have the experience to boot. He had usually let Hik deal with the creatures they'd come across in scouting missions or looking through rumors.

He decided to start from the beginning, and went to the center of Floor 21's town, which had changed in structure quite a bit. Apparently everything had been changed, and he knew the IBS would be hard at work to gather the bearings as all the information they had before the update was now made obsolete, and new information would have to be gathered. He eventually found the teleporter, and stood upon the bright blue, circular piece of metal.

"Teleport, Floor 1." He spoke loudly, and soon pixels overcame his vision and it blurred for a moment, and as soon as they appeared they dissipated, his eyes taking a moment to adjust to the bright colors of the Floor of Beginnings. He rubbed his eyes and shook his head for a minute, finding his bearings for what felt like the hundredth time today and stepped off the platform, opening his HUD to see where the nearest Field boss location could be found. He was only aware of one that was provided thanks to his map, but it was a good walk away. He found the direction he was supposed to go, and started to jog into the general direction of the Field Boss.
