Crozeph

"A cycle maybe" he muttered. Elements were usually believed back then too flow as a cycle in some culture. It was what he learned too in his dumbass days in college. it all starts with something raw and ends into nothing. Crozeph wasn't a fan of this kind of thinking but he preferred to keep his inner voices in check when it comes to this. There have been a lot of ideas being laid down in the meeting, he has to come up with something that may cater to the final set-up once this meeting wraps up. He nodded at BIstro at the mention of the manpower and agreed, quite shorthanded sometimes. "E

*munch munch* "They don't know I've been here the whole tim-" as if by some kind of joke he was handed an item containing information about the boss. He had the chance to be a part of two battles. It seems no one from Jacob's Ladder was in the meeting, Ariel is counted as an ally but other than that he's seen the familiar faces and with Night and Bistro hosting the whole meeting. How he reached and found the place doesn't matter, he's here and that's that. "Bistro a true homie" he uttered. Maybe some heard and some not but it is true. Bistro was a true friend who made Crozeph hi

"It's not absurd if we're helping each other" he replied to his slightly stoic alchemist. Plini reminded him of who he was back then. The only difference is he was like that due to the events of his life. Plini looked more of he was born to be that way and Crozeph respects that. However, the point of his idea is to foster a better connection to everyone. Plini gets to have materials he can use, Shirogane can have fun with the logistics, while he can stretch his legs after a long while. He was itching for a fight. He stood up and paced around the room, hand on his chin and thinking of

"Wouldn't it be a good idea if we do some restocking of Plini's raw materials?" he asked. For so long his small group made occasional meet-ups inside his shop just to kick back and relax. Well he was the only one relaxing, Shirogane has been making sure the shop and its storage room as properly catalogue according to how he wanted it. Crozeph wasn't lazy, he preferred a certain kind of arrangement. For his assistant however it was dogshit. He recalled ow Shirogane was an expert in logistics on some other games as she told from her stories. He was more of a Diablo inventory guy and turns out, i

The puzzle clearly gave Cro a shock. something really intricate inside a labyrinth. Whoever was in charge of development probably sneaked in something like this in the future should players dabble their curiosity with exploration. Back he wasn't a hamster trapped in a game, he played this game. The very game where people gave him a disgusted look not by how good he was... it was because without a timer he was stalling the game far too long. He can't be that overly defensive player this time or they'll be stuck here forever. Crozeph squeezed himself in and made his way to the knight.

"Shit! someone grab a fire extinguisher with a red label" Crozeph is no fan of flames, and seeing how Night activated one trap was enough to for him to move forward and try try to push her off. It would be a mistake for him too but his katana was more than generous to actually help him. Night seemed to be fine after that trigger and this time it might be him. In a few seconds after confirming that she's fine, Croeph turned his head and saw that the flames are about to make a rotisserie out of him too. Ereshkigal turned all black and enveloped Crozeph. Although not completely covered

"Very nice" he uttered, nodding his head. Impressed by the drink, Crozeph grabbed it like a kid who stole a family-size bag of Doritos from the kitchen and hurried back to where he was before. Warm and tall enough to satisfy his craving, he gazed at the clouds, the blue sky, and birds soaring up and down below. Buildings which were supposed to be bigger than them is now at the size of his palm. He reached his hand out, scaling it. He was afraid of heights but that seemed to be less of an issue, thanks to his soon to be wife which he still cannot find or contact. He chugged a few while loo

The coat fluttered at the breeze, some would say he looked like a badass protagonist. This is Crozeph, he has no notions of becoming one. He may look sharp but his mind is of a child. As the coat raised at the whim of the breeze, he immediately grabs it and pulls the coat to himself. "Goddamn Constantine jacket" he muttered. People are coming in now steadily into the airship. Everyone looked splendid, as if this event was told to them in advance. "I think I'll help myself with a drink" he walked away and began to look around. There is a bar, he just needed to think what drink would make

Today he's someone else... The search has been very unfruitful. HIs messages was lost, his frequent return at their home seem to yield no result too. His elusive wife in search of something he didn't know is still out there. His mind drifted to her fighting hordes of monsters, protecting other players, and whatever heroic shit she can pull just by her bravery alone. He wasn't like that, despite how back then they were both sword and shield together, now she's both sword and shield while he is now a bread knife... and even a bread can defeat a knife like him. Maybe an event like this

He was given the signal and that's what he likes to hear. Night have already dealt with some as Hirru kept them afloat with buffs. Nacho was doing well too, he just met her but she was already doing a god impression to him like how Night just decided to make a quest boss as her bitch. "Alright, making my way downtown-" One downward swing to the first sentinel, a sound of metal grating was starting to annoy him. His attack seem to be too shallow but no problem for this dumbass. He shifted his weight and turned the sharp edge up and then- A sound of something rock hard getting sli

Hirru gave the signal and it was time for Crozeph to move. Two enemies, looking like they needed some help to shave off the bulk they have on their body. Crozeph wasn't fond of creatures like them. He'd want tear flesh from mobs and sentinels seemed to offer less of those. He dashed, watching as Kani and Night landed their attacks, Hirru has also provided a buff for them and Crozeph will need it later on. Ereshkigal was already unsheathed and what the katana need was something to bite on. Naru kicked her scythe when she attacked while Night had an exchange with one of the golem. "Goo

Stakes stained by blood jutted out constantly from the walls, floors and ceiling. Crozeph was dodging well and his katana was wrapping any portion of his body from unavoidable attacks by moving continuously. "Why that weapon of yours is troublesome, it does give off a familiar feel as if it was remnants of one like us" she told Crozeph. "One of them? so the lore of this weapon somehow coincides with theirs." Things turned for the worse with him separated from his teammate but with how a portion of the black liquid managed to latch on to Koga before he was sucked into another dimension which ca

"Quite an uneasy group" Crozeph thought. despite the players knowing each other with the exception of him not knowing Nari, Crozeph shrugged it off. A long time of not meeting each other can add a toll to the ice, what they need is not an ice breaker but an iceberg destroyer or so he thought. Night's reply was more than enough, Cro needed a few info but she didn't seem like the right person to pry more at the moment. "Well no use thinking more about it now that we've done our own scouting group. Let's just hope we do better if they didn't" he told him. Hirru had done the briefing before

Crunch of food, he chewed so loudly but not loud enough to be rude. It must've been the low noise of the area that made his bite louder than usual. He looked at them, he knew who they were except the girl clinging like a koala at Night. The swordsman who seem to usually be quiet seemed different. Whether it was Crozeph's observant nature kicking in at the wrong place and time or Night was too obvious with how she felt, he knew something was up; just not a specific what's up. "Nari? like that fake crab substitute? oh nevermind-" he took a bite finishing off another snack from Hirru "it's k

For many people, the thought of scouting is a scary concept. The boss room is needed to be found, minions scurrying everywhere, and dangers jump out of the dark like in south Detroit. One must be prepared for the worst and be prepared with the group. Teamwork is needed to succeed by watching each other's back. If there ever was a wall to move back, it's a comrade's back. Victory may seem far but it is always there, the group must act as if they have Excalibur, the sword of promised victory. None of those matter at the moment for a certain guy, the resident trash panda of Jacob's La

"You enter my mansion, accuse me of these missing children, agitate me with your nonsense, and try to end us here-" the walls and floor continues to to distort "right inside my mansion, such insolence" she uttered with disdain yet she wasn't there. Crozeph looked down on the floor, eyes brimming with intent unknown. He and Koga was separate, what's worse was he was followed by a woman three times his size. He sighed, "what could possibly go wrong?" wasn't the right question. "How worse can this get?" he uttered. He drew his katana quick, blade lowered, eyes dead serious as a woman walk

There was a rumbling sound and it was undeniable. Crozeph easily ticked off the enemy along with Koga, not what he planned... not like he had one really." Crozeph tried to draw his katana but it seems the witch has them both frozen "In this place I am the queen, you do my bidding and now I want you to kneel for my daughters and be..." "Be naked?" Crozeph blurted out as he struggles to unsheathed his katana. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR SENSELESS RAMBLINGS MORTAL! IT IS STARTING UNNECESSARILY AGITATE ME!" The woman had the fury enough to drive fleets away but for Crozeph, hopefully t

Crozeph sat near a counter and watched as she prepared the food. He was not used to having someone make food for him except Yuki and for some reason he does miss her more as he saw the guild mate prepare food for him "I have no recollection if I won or not, rarely keep track of what col I have" he told her. It was quite a battle though, she fought a half naked Calrex as if it was nothing. "I am Crozeph, one of Baldur's student and a member of the guild too, I tend to disappear a lot from this place but it's good that I'm here while the others are also here too." He thanked her at th

He sat beside the table, looking like a kid waiting for what the chef has to offer. It's been a while since he had something that Yuki made, Shirogane can't even hold a candle to Yuki when it comes to cooking. He heard her say things about burden and sharing it, he knew what she wanted to say but sometimes there are things that can't be done skillfully like cooking or using a katana. "We'll get used to seeking each other out for greater burdens, I know you're strong enough to hold your own against many things. You don't have to sweat it, if you need me I'll just be where you left me, here in o

A dungeon? thankfully it's not a high level one? Crozeph knew she was near invincible but it felt like he was missing out on doing something boyfriend-ish like protecting or helping her "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you" he told her. There are times where Yuki was an arrow let loose, you can only watch it fly and pierce through anything before it stops. She was like that, he knew what he got himself into, he wanted to see her like that. He wasn't that strong to keep up but he would always watch. Enough of those deep thoughts for now, as Yuki pulled him in with her inside the house, Croze

The contents were about to be consumed, Crozeph was less picky about what to eat. He lived off what is edible in his point of view in his time in Yomi before Baldur pulled him out of his hole and Yuki giving him the best meals he can have.Speaking of his wife, Crozeph needed to know a few stuff from Baldur and he was about to gobble the contents that seemed like black pepper, the woman made sure he was found out, lighting the kitchen and all that stuff. Crozeph stared as he, munching on a raw potato. He was too lazy too cook and he was hungry after sleeping in Baldur's estate in his designated

"They probably think I'm still sleeping somewhere" he thought. Crozeph has been rummaging in the kitchen. A long time of having no one to cook for him, someone like Yuki, made him try to cook for himself or at least learn something to cook just in case he finds her or she comes back... but when. Now cooking would be easy, if he wasn't biting off every ingredient he finds. After the battle with Shadow, he has been trying to actually do something worthwhile with his katana. He wasn't getting overwhelmed by how wild it was but it sure is like wrecking shit. If you try to slice a tomato with

Something is flying towards them, and Crozeph just found out Hirru's barrier isn't that effective on defending for themselves. "I guess we just have to do this the shounen way" he uttered. Crozeph launched himself up, eyes on the bogey and in an quick glance, he unsheathed his katana, a long streak of amorphous liquid came out and latched on the cannonball and Crozeph sliced it in half followed by the black liquid to throw it off two different directions. The wind was the real villain, Crozeph got slammed down to the deck as soon as he managed to deflect one projectile. He got back

The woman gave a soft laugh as Koga asked for recipes and how she built her home, Crozeph looked more of a dumbfuck to her. However the raven-haired player's eyes tell of something different and so is his companion asking for recipes "I could give you tips on how to make an extravagant. "No matter how I tell myself this Crozeph is a simpleton, his eyes have been looking at everything" she thought. Crozeph's hand was still at the hilt of his katana. "First off, I didn't build this place alone, I had the help of my beautiful daughters. Crozeph was intrigued yet it was understandable, the ga

"Definitely not the fun version, we just have to make sure the one not having fun is her" "I am surprised to see guests that are older, I have my fair share of children ruining my beautiful yard and its bountiful fruits" the woman told them. Crozeph gently elbowed Koga who was picking caramel apples clear as day before she came out. "Ahaha no we're not here to ruin your yard, Koga is more than happy to keep his hands off your ample fruits" it took him a few seconds before he realized something "that sounded wrong a little bit" he looked around him and saw what Koga laid his eyes upon. A p
