Randal · April 27, 2021

Randal continued to murder and take on the Snapdragons at an alarming rate, he remembered a time very long ago when he was first starting out in the game. Back then he did not have much with him and a lot of players were just beginning to find their form. He had recently gotten his martial arts skill and was setting out on his very first few quests; it was especially because some of the early quest required him to take on some monsters on the famed boar filled plains of the first floor.

There was a quest that require him to secure some boar tusks which were an item that dropped at rare intervals. He remembered that there were a number of players who were doing the quest around the same time as him and they had gotten into an argument about how to split the space. It was a difficult issues to solve.

That was how Randal met a player called Triskallion, named after something famous in one of the movies from the outside world. The player was aggressive towards the others, claiming that he had played many games and in all the games he played the loot belonged to the player that contributed the most to the battle, so it doesn’t matter who aggroed it first or who made the last hit.

It was a good mechanism in theory but there was mothing to probe that the other player was telling the truth or was telling a lie if they said that they were the ones to deal the most damage before the monster died. It simple became a game of who can produce the most evidence and who would be able to prove their claims, otherwise it would devolve into another argument, which would not be the first time that players came to blows as a result of conflict escalation.

Tris, for short, was sick of players who tried to lay a claim on a monster that she had been nbattling before taking away her kill and using their numbers to keep her quiet. She was blowing her top at them and was about to come to blows with them. There was where Randal first met her. Not wanting the fight to cause any real deaths, they agreed to a duel to resolve the conflict, with the player who was able to best the other to take away the loot from the monster. This made sense if you considered it from the point of two ego-maniacs who were only out to prove that they were more right than the other instead of thinking how they would be able to resolve the conflict.

If they considered what they were all here for, it would have been much more efficient for them to team up and share the loot because it was always easier to hunt when the numbers were on your side. In most RPGs, the team that gets the most moves in a term is likely to have a large advantage over the enemy.

Instead, Tris and the player she was butting heads with agreed to the duel which ended in her loss but not the end of her life. Of course, no one wanted to lose and each time they would nearly come to blows and sometimes she would win and sometimes she would lose. The problem was that she consistently spent time trying to get back at the group of players who were trying to steal other player’s items that she did not spend time taking care of here own quest. That was how Randal truly started speaking to her, it was after he had decided to reach out and lend a helping hand when he was done with his quest.

Seeing as how Randal was not another thieving bastard there to steal her kill, she quickly took a liking to him and they worked together to defeat the correct number of boars to move on from the quest, it didn’t take very long as a result of their teamwork and they finished the quest requirement faster than the other team because they had more people which meant that they also needed to hunt more boars in general.

That relationship had ended after a few months when Randal found out that Tris’s name was on the Pillar of names where fallen comrades would be engraved on to forever. He knew something was wrong when her name on his friends list was grey out, it was not like someone could log out of the game and appear offline, so something must have happened to her, she either did not want to be found and turned her friend tracking off or something bad had occurred to her.

That was what prompted Randal to head over to the pillar to see if she was in the recent names. Searching for her name using the given functions available, he quickly found her listed there as a player who had been unfortunately removed from the game.

Randal felt upset at the news and was driven to find out more about what happened to her.

Randal first followed the last bits of information that he had about where she was or what she was doing. He hired some information brokers to help him with his search to see if there was anything that was happening around her vicinity at the time of her passing.

He wanted to be able to help her even if she was no longer in the world by preserving her memory, even if he was one of the only ones to have known here, this was probably the best way that he could have supported her.

After a few days of waiting came the news that the had been waiting for, Tris was due for a promotion in her guild before she passed away. Her cause of death was unknown and the guild master had listed her as Killed in Action because no one else knew where her body had perished.

Randal · April 29, 2021

Randal went on an investigation to find out what was happening and why someone who was due for a promotion would get killed for no reason. Randal, in order to find out more, went to find the guild master of Tris’ guild and spoke with him. All that he could say was that she was not doing or undertaking any sort of quest that could result in her death and as such has suspected foul play, but the guild leader was also a coward. He did not want to put his position at risk by investigating the members who were suspicious or had the most to gain from Tris’ passing.

After some insistence over the course of a few days, Randal finally managed to get the names of the people who might be involved from the guild leader. It was the vice-leader and his lackeys who were trying to push for the commercialisation of the guild and using aggressive force against players who would not conform to their wishes.

When Randal heard about the true complexities that were hidden behind the guild’s unitary façade, his anger boil as only one conclusion seems to arise. Knowing this he had gone to find the vice-leader to coerce the truth from him. He had spent a few more days looking for the guy but to no avail.

It was only later that it was revealed that due to the nature of his investigations and the cautious nature of the leader that he had already gone into hiding after hearing that someone was looking for him. This led to Randal being unable to ever come face to face with the leader, but the plot did not stop there.

Over the course of the next few days of his investigation. Randal was accosted by various hired thugs, though they did not reveal their hirer, Randal knew that this was a ploy to get rid of him.

At the end of the story, Randal was unable to catch wind of the vice-leader and the constant stream of mercenaries who came to find him was too much to bear and so he left his investigation aside. His anger was not quelled and there was not outlet for him to release it. He had no choice though, at the time, he was not strong enough to take on an entire guild and he had to retreat. Randal continues to hold a grudge against the vice leader and swore to one day find and avenge his friend’s death, but until that day came, there was nothing that he was able to do.

Just like that, Randal came to the end of his daydream and was brought back to the mundane murdering of Snapdragons. There was not many left now and once he was done; he would be able to return to Nemo to report the success of his assault.

The Snapdragon’s would vaporise upon being killed and in their wake, there would only be a blue notification panel floating in mid-air to inform Randal that he had earned something from fighting them. Randal had seen these panels for so long now that he had gotten used to all of it.

Checking the col that he had earned, the items that had dropped and collecting any material that decided to show up on the death of the Snapdragon, Randal realised that he raked in quite a large number of things. More than he had earned in awhile because he had been focusing on gathering materials out of fear of fighting monsters and perishing. Randal had taken up Nemo’s challenge because he finally felt like it was finally time for him to come out and try to pit himself against monsters once again. Soon enough, Randal wrapped up the battles around the pond. It was getting late now and Randal began to pack up.

While he was preparing to leave, a stirring began to happen out the corner of his eye, the Snapdragons that were peacefully relaxing and imitating flowers around the pond all started to fly around the pond. This was an unusual sight that Randal had not seen happen before.

From the lake, a piece of rock started to move, the two holes in the rock appeared to be pushing the water around it away, as if there was air coming out of the holes. Randal thought to himself that there was no way that a random rock would be breathing, not even Mr. Pebbles, a Lava Golem nor his close associates in the family of Rock Golems were known to possess the need to breathe. From behind the rock, more rocks appeared, there were connected together, the other snapdragons began to attack the rock that arose and using their strong jaw, began to pull the rock apart.

In the wake of their destruction was ta bright coloured scale that emerged from beneath all the rocks, slowly but surely, an image began to appear before Randal, under it’s rocky and muddy exterior was the mother of all Snapdragon hidden underneath. Randal figured that this was probably the boss of the lake area and if it wasn’t it must be the Cardinal system creating a special event for he who defeated a large number of Snapdragons.

The Snapdragon Queen that emerged had numerous health bars and almost appeared to be as strong as a fabled field boss, though that was something that Randal had yet to see for himself. Randal heard boss music playing in the background and new that his suspicions were in fact true. He had two options ahead of him, there was nothing that stopped him running away and he could also strive to take on the challenge and risk his life to take down the beast.

Randal could not be sure of either decision, all the was expected of him to do was to curb the rising population of Snapdragons. He was not hired to take on the reason for the rising populations. He was not ready to lose his life because of a stupid encounter that he could do nothing about, he was also not the kind to run with his tail between his legs. Fortunately, for the reason that this was not what he was hired to do, he was satisfied with just leaving the Snapdragon to its own devices.

Almost as if to sense his desire not to fight, the Snapdragon Queen roared, and a series of Snapdragons began to chase down Randal. A chase ensued between the two groups of entities on one hand was Randal fleeing for safety and on the other was a swarm of Snapdragons. Fortunately, Randal still managed to be somewhat faster that the horde of monster that were chasing him.

Even more fortunately was the fact that the monsters were limited in how far away from the pond they were able to go and as such were only able to pursue Randal up until the point where he crossed the boundary that separated the pond and the rest of the Garden of Eden. Randal patted himself down and ensured that he had not left anything behind before walking towards the castle to report back to Nemo.

He found Nemo not in the castle but while he was walking as he turned and noticed that the young man/dragon was once again having tea under the pavilion. Randal came up, politely knocked against the wooden post that held up one side of the shelter and drew Nemo’s attention to himself before plopping down into one of the empty chairs that surrounded the table. Randal and nemo shared a few glances between each other as if communicating silently before Nemo asked him about his mission.

Randal explained what happened before the Queen Snapdragon appeared, specifically claiming that he had killed enough Snapdragons to ensure that the populations would be low for the next few rounds. Although he wasn’t certain when thought back about the swarm of Snapdragons that were summoned when the Queen Snapdragons appeared and sent them after him.

Randal then explained that he was minding his own business about to leave when the Queen Snapdragon appeared. Nemo’s face changed upon hearing about what had happened and asked urgently if Randal had attacked the Queen Snapdragon, his face only relaxing upon hearing that Randal did not do anything bad to the Snapdragon. Nemo reminded Randal of the fact that there exists within the Garden a select few beasts that are marked with a red spot below the neck. The Queen Snapdragon was one of them. Nemo was extremely glad that Randal had not attacked the Snapdragon Queen.

Nemo looked at Randal pensively before he finally said that the creatures marked with red spots were not at the same level as himself, meaning that they were not nearly as strong as Nemo, but they were all marked by the owner of the Garden of Eden because they were sources of power that fuelled that prosperity that was present in this location. Each of the sources of were Kings and Queens of their kind and the reason there were so many of them in abundance around the Garden. The Queens would repopulate the area while the kings would commandeer them and take control of the situation.

If the marked creatures were slain, it would not be the end of the Garden, but Nemo would have to find and nominate a new king and/or queen which he explained was a huge hassle because if the selection went awry, the king or queen would fight for control over the garden and Nemo would likely sustain some injuries, though he would still win.

Nemo was a little flustered but quickly calming down now that Randal was assuring him that he absolutely did not do anything to harm the Queen Snapdragon. Feeling calmer and more assured by Randal, Nemo stood up and thanked Randal for the work that he had done that day. He was happy that the population of Snapdragons was lowered, and that Randal had not accidentally or purposefully killed a marked monster. Nemo could not say the same for some of the other adventurers that he had chosen to trust with upholding the sanctity of the Garden.

Nemo the invited Randal to follow him into the cobblestone castle and led Randal around the narrow corridors that lined the interior of the building. Having a guide to show him around beat both instances where Randal was given an opportunity to explore the castle because in the first instance he was being attacked by Nemo and in the second he was exploring without someone else’s help which made it far harder.

The castle was like a conical shape where the centre of the castle was higher in altitude compared to the rest of the Castle, and Nemo brought Randal to one of the middle floors of the castle and opened a oakwood door with metal bracing around the areas, the iron hinges which were studded with nails were not rusty at all, owing to the lack of humidity around that area, it was the kind of door you would expect to see in a typical medieval castle.

Inside, Randal was greeted with oakwood floorings, and cobblestone walls, the grey colour accentuated the dark woody brown of the floor. The room was scarcely decorated, as if cleansed for use by guests. In the middle hung a chandelier that helped to illuminate even the darkest corners of the room. The bed in the middle was a single one, but the wood poles of the bedframe extended to the ceiling and a brown curtain was neatly tied to one side, waiting to be unfurled.

Randal · May 1, 2021

Before the bed was a ornately carved wooden chest where Randal could store his inventory if he so wished to do so, thought with the weightlessness of the player’s inventory, he probably would not find any need to use this one.

Randal turned to face Nemo and thanked him. This caused Nemo’s face to light up with appreciation for Randal who was showing great courtesy towards a room that by Nemo’s standards was too bare. Of course, this was the standards of a former dragon so it was hard to normalise the idea that this was sufficient for a human.

Nemo explained once more that this room now belongs to Randal. The player that used to own this room has stopped comings and while Nemo did not say that he presumed the player to be dead, it was implied. Of course, he did preface it by saying that even if another player were to show up and claim the room as his, Randal would not be expected to move out and that Nemo would sort it out for him.

Randal · May 1, 2021

Randal and Nemo soon parted ways and Randal watched as Nemo closed the wooden doors and left Randal to his own devices, while this was not considered a home, Randal was given permission to make any adjustment he wished as long as it did not harm the integrity of the room. He specifically mentioned not to try to break down any of the walls. Randal put down his items and laid down on the bed to face the ceiling and was soon fast asleep.

The comfort that an actual bed brought Randal was far higher than that of the sleeping bag he used in the stables outside the castle and as such could not resist the nagging urge to fall asleep.

In his dreams, Randal was killing Snapdragons and being chased down by the Snapdragon queen and was tossing and turning, but despite the disturbance in his sleep, Randal would wake up well-rested.
