Celesmeh 0 Posted November 17, 2014 #1 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Celes left the village on the sixth floor with her pack full. She was sure that if she trained on this floor se would be able to continue leveling. She needed to level grind in order to prepare for the upcoming boss. As she walked down the road she noticed many of floor six' monsters nearby it was an NPC that caught her attention. A young man who had what could only be described as the most generic face she had ever seen. All of his features were average. So average it was almost like it was an amalgamation of all of the average traits she had ever seen. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Celesmeh 0 Posted November 17, 2014 Author #2 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Celes thought back to her meeting with an information broker in the lower levels. "i hear its a rough battle but you get a very special reward, and <<Extra Skill>> but my sources tell me conflicting results. Some tell me of one reward, others tell me others, It just doesnt seem right." Celes considered this for a moment "So far people havent died right? if thats the case, then maybe I'll try and find it!" She went back to her inn later that night and prepared herself to go to the sixth floor the next day... Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Celesmeh 0 Posted November 17, 2014 Author #3 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Once her preparations were finished she looked at her journal. Stories she had collected. She thought back to her nights back home, laying in bed with her love, holding hands.... "tell me a story" "What kind of story?" "The most beautiful sunset you've ever seen...." That beautiful laughter "The most beautiful sunset? off the beach at my grand parents house, the sun painst the sky and sets it on fire, its so beautiful, you just sit and stare. we used to rate them you know? one to ten..." A story every night for three years. Everything in my heart, everything in hers. we know each other too well, but here I am growing without you. Do you still tell me stories? She finished writing the stories in her journal and went to bed, for the first night in a long time, she cried herself to sleep.... Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

"I have a proposition for you, if you are willing. Accept this and you will be given great rewards. Faceme adventurer, defeat me in a one on one battle, and I will teach you an <<Extra Skill>>" He prepared himself for battle, and looked directly at her "So what do you say?!" Accept this quest? <<Yes>> <<No>> Celes rememebred back to her conversation with the information broker, and pressed <<Yes>> Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

She cried out in rgar and focused herself. Serenity, i need to cal my self and focus... focus.... focus She stabbed forward, letting instinct guide her (1213,BD 7) (DMG 4).

(1217 Loot 18) This is my <<Disguise>> Skill, When you use it you will temporarily gain the appearance of your opponent, disorienting them in battle!" He laughed as he shimmered, disappearing before her eyes. "That was weird," she thought as she looked at the skill screen, sure enough <<Disguise>> was there. Celes wondered what her love would think, of being able to change just like that- You are beautiful just the way you are... i love you this way, all of you..." That was a rough conversation, it had taken place after a panic attack... she felt so worthless, but no she had taught me... ...to love myself.... Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

The NPC had matched her every move, hit for hit, even her mistakes... she thought about the battle. the places where she had slipped and tripped up.

She didnt know what she wanted to be, A tank? maybe? or maybe be able to evade attacks while hitting? Fortunately the thoughts of what to do filled her mind, allowing her to sleep properly. She awoke the next morning to a message from her info. broker <<i'll go test it now, tell you what I find i.o.u>> He was always exploring, but no matter the iou was all she needed, now she had to focus on getting stronger, and preparing for the boss. She decided to go hunting. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

The beetle screeched as the thorns in Celes' armour dug into it. Celes grabbed her spear and attacked again (1236, BD 9) and cut the beetle in half. It fell to pieces before her.... She fell to the floor, checking her inventory for any mats or loot, (1238 loot 18) she looked at the 60 col in her inventory, and at her health bar and sighed. "Not worth it... " She began her slow walk back to the inn. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Celesmeh 0 Posted November 17, 2014 Author #18 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 She returned to the inn to rest, going to take a warm bath and recover. She began to soak and forget her worries, thinking of a happier time. Thinking to her battles that day she realized that the best way to get stronger would be to train harder. Items alone couldn't help her. She needed to move. Eventually Sleep overcame her, allowing her to rest calmly... for one night at least. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
