[F1-PP] Relearning First Steps <First Lesson>

[Rebekah 0]

"Personally, I think floor 25 is one of those floors that I do feel is lacking something. I guess its my person opinion, the whole floor is a grey dull labyrinth. Other than the staircase, and the first settlement that everyone visits, it is a giant maze. I think the concept was a good idea but the execution was not done as well. I mean there are lots of smaller labyrinths everywhere in Aincrad, and making it the theme for a full floor was a bit too much." Rebekah explained.

"I am a big fan of the natural scenery that can be found in the forest or the mountains. I mean, I think this makes sense?" Rebekah asked. "I think it was missing the wow factor, that one would expect with a lot of the other scenic floors."

Rebekah continued to look around the river, she decided to walk down on the rocks next to the river, to see if she could spot anything that was growing in the rocks, or anything that was washed on to the river banks. There it is, she had found something. It was an iron ingot that was washed onto the river banks. "I have collected all 5 materials, it is time to head back." Rebekah said.

Cleo listened as Rebekah explained the premise behind floor twenty-five, the giant maze, and the overall dull execution of the floor. She nodded, unimpressed. "Alright, agreed, that floor sounds like a nightmare. Just a maze with no scenic features sounds depressing as hell. Plus, imagine getting lost in there without a teleportation crystal? Yikes." The thought was somewhat disturbing, and she quickly tried to distract herself with something else.

Thankfully, Rebekah located the last of the materials, to which Cleo stood up with an arm raised victoriously. "Way to go! Let's get that potion crafted."

Then, quite unceremoniously, she tried to take a shortcut through a bush and caught a foot on something, tripping into the path ahead. Groaning, she picked herself up onto her knees and glanced backward, trying to find what had blocked her way and caused her to trip. A little metal chest, obscured by the leaves of the bush, sat within it. "What the hell is that?"

"That is a chest. It is the first time I seen one myself as well." Rebekah said. "Cleo, please stand back, I do not know if anything dangerous would be inside."

Rebekah inspected the chest from all directions before she got on her knees to open the chest. She had heard about the dangers of players being slain my monsters hidden inside the chests. While those incidents are rare, Rebekah did not want to take any chances with Cleo being a lower level than her. She knew that she had ran out of treasure chest keys, so Rebekah will need to make a purchase soon.

Rebekah began to work on the lock, luckily, her brother had taught her how to pick locks for her own safety. She never thought that skill would come in handy but now, she would thank him the next time she saw him again, in the real world hopefully. As Rebekah started fiddling with the lock, it clicked, and the lock fell to the ground. It was now time to open the chest.

There were a small amount of Col, materials, a weapon and 2 consumables. "Great job Cleo." Rebekah said. "Now let's head back to find Zackariah."

"Chest. Huh." Curious about the contents, Cleo stood a bit behind as the other Player opened it up, wondering what could be inside that would threaten them.

It opened with a click, and she leaned forward despite the warning to get a good look at the contents. "A weapon and some potions? Nice!" Whether or not the loot was good, she hadn't a clue, but the other Player seemed to be satisfied with it.

"Agreed, let's get going." Nodding as Rebekah mentioned they should head back, she closed the chest's lid and made way for the path. With that, they set off for the Town of Beginnings.

A few minutes later, they came up to the front of Zackariah's shop, and Cleo approached first, holding the door open for Rebekah to step inside. "After you. This next bit shouldn't take anywhere near as long, it's just one potion, and then you're done. Good luck!"

"Hello Zachariah. I am back with the 5 materials that I have gathered." Rebekah said.

Zachariah had gave her the instructions. It seemed easy enough. Rebekah just need to craft an uncommon potion. She got to work and began cutting and weighting all the materials into the right size and increments before adding it to the potion. She had as many attempts to finish this, but Rebekah would like to get this done as early as possible.

As she began to add materials one by one, Rebekah kept stirring per the instructions provided. She needed the potion to be a distinct bright orange. That was the mark of a perfect potion. Rebekah was aiming to get there. As she continued to stir, Rebekah needed the mixture to be homogeneous. This required a lot of work to ensure everything was dissolved in.

After letting it boil, Rebekah finally had created the potion. It was now time to show Zachariah to determine if she had passed this test. She had made several smaller batches just in case the first one failed.

As he examined the potion, it was exactly what he was looking for. It was not perfect but rare, which was good enough.

She turned to Cleo, "Thank you for helping me today. I hope to see you soon."
