Yona 0 Posted April 7, 2022 Author #41 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Yona had some things to think about when "greatness" and "strength" were mentioned. Strength was but a means to an end. Power...power was what the state of one being ahead of others, in this world, and the one Yona was from. In this world, power was measured by level, and by how much damage one could do...as well as how many opponents they can overcome. In the world Yona came from, power had a different meaning. Power was having great wealth. Power was having great influence. Power was having wide tracts of territory. Power was having more might than the rest... Power was strength. If you didn't have what it takes, you were weak, and the weak were always swept up into the abyss of desolation as long as those who had power cared not about them...and there were far too many of those. For this reason, Yona had to become strong. Not only to protect herself, but to protect others as well. Wealth was like strength, a means to an end. But in all these cases, were Aincrad and Earth really all that different?

Yona 0 Posted April 13, 2022 Author #42 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Perhaps Earth and Aincrad were indeed vastly different, but the similarities were clear. This was a world where the strong were in control, and all others had no choice but to serve them. The same went for Earth, Yona's former homeland, which, if the playerbase was lucky or strong enough, she'd be able to see again. Even the so-called "Land of the free" Yona was born in now followed this law of the strong. Regardless of belief, Evolution or Religion, there was always something above all the others when it came to what was alive. Yona needed to be strong, so that those who were strong could never decide her fate for her. She needed to be strong, so that she could do something about the weak....but evil dwelt within the weak as well, did it not? All this pondering about the apparent universal laws that governed all life started to tire out Yona's mind. It was time to make her way out of this crumbling ruin.

Yona 0 Posted April 13, 2022 Author #43 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Yona, to an extent, knew what she had to do. Her true identity would draw attention, so while she was lower level, it would be best to avoid drawing too much attention to herself. It was bad enough that she had some moments of weakness already. How unfitting it all was, for the promising youth, Tora Amberhide. Even the name seemed to have some sort of strength to it. She just needed to raise her level so that she could be worthy of strength, to truly fit what comes to mind for a name as mighty as that. "Soon..." She thought. She would rise above, eventually...until then, she'd keep a low profile and not reveal her identity. Going by just her username seemed to do the trick so far... As Yona began making her way out, she spotted, half covered in sand... "A chest? how'd I miss that?" She uttered out as she noticed it. ID# 208568 LD: 9+6=15(found a treasure chest!)

Yona 0 Posted April 13, 2022 Author #44 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Yona made her way over to the chest, and opened it up to find...not much, actually. Well, at least it was better than nothing. She would begin walking up the sand-covered steps that led to the surface and outside the ruin. Hopefully she wouldn't slip and tumble, that would probably become a damaging fall. She now had a more solid goal in mind, and maybe, just maybe...Shaxus could possibly be of some help... But until then, Yona was basically on her own. She knew a few acquaintances, but hopefully she'd be able to find more potential friends and allies along the way. It would definitely make everything easier...this was an MMO, after all. Seeing that Shaxus was some sort of shadow being, however, it probably wouldn't be wise to let him interact with people Yona had only just met...besides, she didn't know what his opinions on the general public was, either. She just knew she'd now struck a deal with him.

Yona 0 Posted August 3, 2022 Author #45 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Once she was getting out, it seemed that there were still going to be some problems before this trip was over. When she reached the surface, there would be something practically right in front of her. The Rattlesnake stopped moving, and lifted its head defensively. It might have been investigating the opening in hopes of getting a free burrow or something like that...and it now saw Yona as a liability, judging from its stance. Yona drew her blade, she knew how this was gonna end... ...But sure not how it would begin. She activated her sword art, but she slipped on the first stair and tumbled backwards...oddly enough, if it weren't for that little stumble, that strike from the monster might have struck her. Yona took this opportunity to fight it with less sand for it to burrow into. If the snake wanted this place, it would have to come down to the structure's interior with her.

Yona 0 Posted August 3, 2022 Author #46 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) The Giant Rattlesnake slithered down the sandy staircase and into the mysterious building, where Yona was waiting for it. It knew it would have to fight for this potential home, but it did not know what Yona was capable of. It prepared itself to strike once again, and Yona would jump back in time to avoid, before proceeding with her own sword art, cutting the monster's HP in half. The Giant Rattlesnake hissed, and was starting to slither back and attempt an intimidating stance. Yona, however, didn't feel like faltering, since from her point of view, she had fought worse enemies than this. There wasn't much else aside from a standoff for the moment, as each would glare at the opponent as they waited to see if their enemy would make a move. There were no words necessary for a situation like this, only the anticipation before the next strike.

Yona 0 Posted August 3, 2022 Author #47 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Yona would suddenly dart in diagonal directions, and then dash to the left just when the Rattlesnake traced the pattern. Yona took the opportunity to attack when it moved in to where it though Yona was going to be, and finished it off with her sword art. With another enemy slain, it might be time to leave. Yona would climb up the steps again, and return to the surface. The sun would be setting soon, and it would be best to return to the settlement before nighttime and any of its more threatening dangers began to prowl around. Suddenly, another tremor shook the ground. With nothing left to give worth or value to the structure, aside from lore that was too faded to be decipherable, the ruin had begun to collapse entirely...thank goodness Yona left when she did! When the tremor was over, the collapse finished, there was nothing but a dent in the sand remaining... What a wild ride this had been...
