[SP-F1] An Ole' Fishermen (Earning a Living)

[??? 0]

Of course, there was no floor that was just all water filled with lakes. So ??? would just have to find a pond. ??? found it cool because currently, he would be the only fishermen. There were no other fishermen in the game! So maybe cooks would come running towards him for the fish he would catch. Of course, he was vegan in the real world, but your forgetting that Sword Art Online is not the real world. 

 

Now, ??? needed to find some bait and then head over to some lake where an NPC was to meet him....... Where could that be? He wanted too start on his quest immediately. But then a message pulled up on ???'s HUD(head up display) screen and it told ??? where the lake was. So, it would have to be that ??? would have to go fight some enemies.

??? stared at the wolf pack that stood in front of him. Just two wolves, so not a full pack but they seemed to know each other well, maybe brother and sister wolves? ??? had seen that before. "Ready to die?" ??? came sprinting at the wolves, super fast and attempting to slash them both in one swing. The wolves both dived down, preventing themselves from being hit by his sword. "Dodging one hit ain't gonna help ya in here, sorry to say!" ??? was now upon the wolves, his sword swinging from side to side as ??? attempted to hit the enemy several times. Then ??? finally jabbed his sword into the male seeming one of the two, and ??? knew he would not have to worry about finishing that one because the bleed condition would.

??? had to continue the fight with the wolves. ??? knew that he did not have to deal with the male one anymore if he did not wish on doing so but he probably would still do so do it didn't make a bit of a difference. "You like the fact your about to die, huh? Well lets make it seem more pleasurable!" ??? threw his sword at the female wolf this time, knowing the other one will die anyways. It must be sad to know your about to die. But the sword missed and he changed his mind, targeting the male wolf again. It disappeared into millions upon millions of crystals as the female wolf began to wimper for the male, and scratched ???

??? now just had the female wolf to deal with. It wouldn't be too hard, but ??? wasn't sure when there were two of them how hard this battle would be. Apparently, not as hard as he had thought. "I'm gonna call you Nymeria. Wanna die, Nymaria?" Not listening to the wolf's snarl in response to him, he charged at it instead, swing left, right, left, right, left, right, high, low, high, low, high, low, middle jab! However the female wolf seemed to be more evasive than the male wolf. "Die!" ??? jabbed his sword forward at it. The hit landed, and ??? was proud at that.

??? Now had to put an end to the wolf remaining. His sword was in a position, as a player would do before starting a duel. ???'s madness leaked a bit into his head, as he smiled a crooked smile. Then ??? charged at the enemy, trying to stab it into the enemy like someone would a rapier, even though his sword was most definitely not a rapier. The wolf disappeared into millions of crystal shards as ??? began to run around in them, no matter what his age was he could not hide it. It was FUN playing in the crystals of death.

But before heading to the site of where they planned on having the fishing tutorial, ??? decided it would be a good idea to get some worm for bait before heading over to the lake. His hands began to dig into the ground, ripping through the soil, looking for a worm or two for bait. After a few minutes of digging in the ground, ??? pulled out a ugly little earthworm that would work perfectly for bait. "Yes!"

??? decided he would look even more. He had gotten lucky before, lets see if he could become lucky again. Before doing so and getting dirty though, he pulled out a slice of bread and a water bottle out of hi inventory. The water felt so good to ???. Chugging it down quickly while looking at the sun, ??? had never seen a better day in Aincrad or in the real world. Then he quickly pulled out the bread, and ate it so fast. It was gone in a minute. Then he began to dig again, looking for a worm. His hand felt something slimy, and boy did ??? hope it was a worm of some sort. But it was not a worm, yet a maggot. ??? HATED flies and maggots. quickly, he put the thing back in the hole, filled it up to cover his tracks, and stood up, preparing to head out more towards the lake.

??? knew with his maggot incident he didn't exactly want to dig in the dirt, but he had to to find more worms for bait when he got his own lake to fish in. But there went his hands, into the ground to look for earthworms. He felt around with his hands, just trying to find a worm for the little fishies to eat. But he did not find anything so he kept digging.

Okay, ??? would feel around a feel more times. If he couldn't find anything, so be it. He already had six worms anyways. So maybe if he got a lot, he could sell some to future fishermen. Or maybe he could give people romantic boat rides on his lake. That would be fun.  But ??? could not seem to find anymore worms, they seemed to have left. Wait- there's something slimy. "AHHHH! MAGGOT!"

Okay, now he was for sure he did not want to do it anymore. But he would try it anyways two more times before heading to the lake. ??? was really getting tired of seeing stupid maggots, and them crawling on him. He also knew, flies pooped wherever they landed. It was a true fact of nature. So when they land on your hot dog at a BBQ, enjoy that fly's poop. But he failed again at finding worms.

"I HATE MAGGOTS! EVEN DIGITAL!" ??? was getting very mad at the world for not allowing him to find worms. Gosh, he had only found one so far. God, please give me another worm! ??? was tired of not getting any worms from this stupid piece of land, on the flying castle of Aincrad. And there it was, another maggot."GOD PLEASE!" He flung the maggot back into the hole.

??? decided now that he would not stop until he found at least one more worm for bait. "Please!" ??? was getting pissed off at this point. I will get a worm if it's the last thing I do! But nope he was gonna give up now. He had enough dirt for a day. He stood up and began to walk again, towards where the lake would be for him to begin to learn to fish.

Eventually, ??? made it  almost to his lake that would be his in the forest but he was stopped by a wolf. it had four health, so it was much the same as the ones with only four health. But this one seemed like a leader of some sort.......... "I've had long enough day. I don't want to have to deal with you too long. DIE!"  ??? dove forward with his sword at the wolf.

"Ow!" ?? looked at the wolf and then his sword whip-lashed out, and it had it's blood decal on it(OOC: It was approved and crafted that way). I will kill all that stand in my way! DANG YOU STUPID WOLF! ???'s sword came at it, attempting to leave a deep rash on it's face. it hit but the wolf tackled him, and ??? noted that his health bar was decreasing  by the second. He would have to calm down and be more careful.

Now all that was left was for ??? to finish off the wolf, and then he would be at HIS soon to be lake, which would be his soon if things went his way. He would also get an extra skill point. So now he had to finish off the stupid thing that was called a wolf and was standing in front of him. His sword was on the wolf instantaneously, as he did not want to be late for his meeting with the NPC fisherman.

Now ??? looked around. To one side, he saw a deep murky sewer lake it seemed to be. To his left though, he saw his lake that he needed to be going to in the distance. So of course he began to head over to the lake that was a very interesting place. ??? was hoping to become a young fishermen and go fishing today, so he needed to get everything done in a hurry. But quickly he bent down, to see if he could find another worm. But once again he pulled out a maggot. What was up with this game and maggots anyways?

??? Now had to head to the lake. While walking to the lake, he read the quest over again. The lake would not be his, or at least he believed not. Actually- It was, but it was not the only spot he could fish. While he was walking he decided to bend down and try for another worm. But there was nothing that time. And he finally arrived at the lake with the NPC with his pole in the water. He pulled it out and turned, beginning to talk to him.

When the NPC pulled up his rod, it held a little tinie tiny fish. ??? had never been any good at all at naming fish, but he figured the game could help him with that. "Welcome," The NPC said and ushered ??? closer. "What is your name, son?"

 

??? had to think. "I am........Batman! That's who I am, Bruce Wayne!" How would anyone pronounce his username anyways? It would be better if he was batman either way.  Then he quickly bent down to check the new ground for worms.

??? now examined the fisherman NPC as he put a bait onto the rod and cast it out, far out into the lake. ??? examined the bobber that was attached to the NPC's rod. The NPC's rod seemed to be crafted out of thick bamboo. While the NPC was waiting on a tug on the line, ??? was back on the ground looking for worms. He finally found one in the wet soil and saw the NPC that wass struggling to pull in the water monster, or fish.

Quickly, ??? ran over to help him, actually tackling him as the large fish was reeled in. "Oh how could that have been that hard............" He mumbled. "You alright sir?" ??? looked around to see that no one was around. there was a wood built shack type thing. The NPC looked at him...."I'm alright!" 

 

The two of them fish for a long time, while the NPC taught ??? the basics. ??? didn't know the basics of them. Then they went to the shack that was now his, and they talked about economics for the rest of the day until finally the NPC had to leave. They said their goodbyes and ??? got ready to go fishing.
