"Uh? Did that sugar glider just bark?" Violet asked, slowly leaning closer to Yukiro. "Yeah, he does that when he wants attention." "Awwe! He's so cuuuute!" Violet cried when Yumi looked at her. The sugar glider looked up at Yukiro and back at Violet. With a little twisting around in Yukiro's pocket he started to climb out and onto his shoulder. Dahlia seemed to be trying to look at Yukiro's familiar as well. "It seems Dahlia wants to say hello as well, if that's alright," Violet requested. Dahlia purred innocently at Yukiro. With a sigh Yukiro sat down, cross-legged, and g

Violet laughed as she walked over to Yukiro. "Oh, hush now. You still took it out in one turn." She gave him a pat on the back. Yukiro looked down at her and gave a slight smile. "Maybe. But," he pointed to his health gauge, "If I can't even kill a bat without that happening, how can I expect myself to protect people like you from a floor boss?" "Oh?" Violet and Yukiro looked at tyhe black cat and saw it holding the gem that she needed. "Ah, thank you, Dahlia," Violet said, taking the gem from the large cat. Violet then turned her attention back to Yukiro. "Anyways, I'm sure any woman

Violet laughed. "Ah, so the prey has an attitude now?" she asked, amused. But soon she was on her feet and coming to meet Yukiro's familiar. Well, she was. A loud roar suddenly echoed through the cave. Yukiro turned to see that Dahlia had... oh, one of the gems. Good job, cat. Oh, and that the cat sat standing on a giant bat. Wait. Giant bats are bad. He should take care of that. "Get out of the way!" Violet yelled. rushing forward. The big cat moved from atop the bat and-- Yukiro seemed to simply appear behind the bat, no warning, no blur of movement. He'd finally mastered

"Don't drink that. There's probably worm feces in there," Violet laughed. "Wow, thank you for that warning. I always plan on drinking mysterious glowing liquids I find in caves. Close call." Oops. Tala must be rubbing off on Yukiro. He was starting to talk more sarcastically and less... well, less politely lately, though it was rarer than not. Yukiro dumped the water out of his hands and back into the pool, but noticed his hands were still glowing. Interesting. Ignoring the strange fact he stood up and walked back over to Violet, who had started to chew on something. Which brought som

Yukiro bent over so Violet could peek into his pocket. There was a small gasp before she whispered, "It's so cute," and pulled away, continuing on their path towards the cave. Smiling Yukiro nodded and kept walking. He knew the little climber would be up and about soon enough. It was a while before they reached the cave, but they made it in good time. "Hey, watch your step. You don't know what could be inside here," Violet cautioned Yukiro as she slowly walked into the cave. Around them were glowing pools of water, stalactites and stalagmites, and some glowing... things that

"Familiar? Where!" Violet asked excitedly. She walked up to Yukiro and started hopping at his pocket, but failing to see into it. The big kitten-- er, Dahlia also walked up and started to sniff around his legs. Yukiro sighed and looked Violet in her glittering eyes. "I'll show you. But you have to promise to be quiet. He sleeps during the day, so it's midnight for him." "I see you got a lot done since we last saw each other. And you've leveled as well. Good. Less likely for anyone to take you out." Yukiro smiled at the compliment, but shook his head. "I'm stronger, but not

Violet turned around and smiled at Yukiro. "Ah, so you finally made it. Go ahead and pick up-" Life seemed to really want to ruin Yukiro's good mood. Before Violet even finished her sentence a large black cat slammed into Yukiro's chest and knocked him backwards to the ground. It stared Yukiro dead in the eyes, fangs bared and still growling. Yukiro looked at it, seeming kinda bored. He'd just fought a massive sand whale thing, so this didn't seem quite as bad. Maybe it wanted a dragon fruit smoothie. "Dahlia, down!" Violet said loudly. The miracle-growth kitten restlessly returned

Huh. Guess Delta is her middle name? Interesting. Yukiro was in a good mood lately, because reasons. His rapidly increasing level and stats helped too. So he had no issues with going to help Violet out today. He stood up from his chair just outside a diner and equipped his coat, boots, and sword. It was safe to say they were going to have to do the third lesson; go deep into a system of caves that was completely pitch black, find some glowing rocks, fight some devil bats, and find their way back out. No stress at all. Lovely day. A small something started to shift around in Yukiro's pock

Just wanna put all this here and say I vote yes for this, but not for that which would impact the mechanics of the game. Also, NIGHT's idea of a custom quest sounds awesome.

"That's all I needed to know," NIGHT said decisively. Yukiro wasn't sure why, but her tone agitated him. Then, with a much gentler tone, she talked to Tala. "As much as I'd like to see you prove it I don't think you'd be in much of a position to do so. Not when you're shaking cold." Then, after a quick smile at Tala, she turned and started down the path. Yukiro realized that she'd stepped in front of a snow man. So you've been playing in the snow. He didn't offer Tala his hand this time. She needed it to be inside the cloak for now. But he did try to stay close to her as he fol

Zeldris walked into the town and made no stops before heading straight into the teleport platform and teleporting down to floor 4 to cool off for a moment before going back down to floor one. Well, almost no stops. He did stop by that one diner. And discovered they sold only one thing you could put in your inventory; dragon fruit smoothies. Guaranteed to stay cold. Zeldris bought roughly twenty, sources say, But nobody knows for sure. All people know as a fact is that he seems to always have more. Next he stood on floor 4 for less than a minute before leaving. He needed to cool down,

Soon enough, in the distance Zeldris could see the city's sandstone wall of the main city of floor five. He was almost done this adventure. It was nearly time to go home. As he walked he sent a message to Fleur, the info broker who'd sold him the information, then sent a party of players to go help him. To: Fleur Hey, it's me. I killed the Sand Shark. Alone, without any help. So you don't have to worry about that anymore. It was actually over very, very quickly; most of my time gone has just been spent walking. It's a long, hot, painful walk. But anyways, I'll be contacting you agai

Zeldris kept walking through the harsh conditions of the desert. He didn't unequip his jacket, that would leave him vulnerable to attack. He couldn't equip his sand cloak, he'd left that at home. All he could do was keep walking, with the sun beating down on him and making him sweat. Sweat that made his brightly colored hair stick to his forehead. That heaven he hadn't brought Tala along, he really didn't want her to see him in this condition; exhausted and dirty, basically looking like he couldn't protect himself from a light breeze. Actually, a light breeze would be really nice right abou

Zeldris smiled at the group. "Actually, about that, I just finished beating it a bit ago. I'm just on my way back," he told them cheerfully. The four players stared at him in shock. "Ah... Haha, really? That's certainly not good for us." One of the players in lighter gear, the one with the sword, spoke next. "I'm calling it. He didn't actually beat it, he just gave up and came back. Any player capable of beating a field boss alone has already moved up a few floors." That warmed Zeldris' heart a little bit. The fact that others thought he was capable of being a fighter on a higher f

He spotted something approaching in the distance. He knew it wasn't a clump of a bunch of cacti because there hadn't been many cacti on the way to the field boss. So it must be either players or mobs. Hopefully players. Sure enough, it was a group of four players. Two of them were heavily armored, one with a big shield and a one-handed ax and the other with a long spear, and two of them wore light armor, one with a one handed sword and the other with a club of sorts. Zeldris stopped them once they got closer. "Hey, where are you guys headed?" he asked, pretty sure he knew already. The

NIGHT stepped to the side, hiding something behind her. One of her hands started twirling a lock of her hair. Yukiro noted that she was hiding something, both literally and metaphorically. "Yknow, if I wasn't so busy, I would've been ahead long ago," she announced. Yukiro didn't really know what she was talking about. Did she mean in levels? "If you're here about the ice golem, then I'm still on the hunch that we're talking to the same info broker, Yukiro." "The possibility is there. But somehow I doubt it." If he was being honest he was now certain th

...What now? He'd already beaten the Sand Shark. That was all he had planned for today, so he really didn't know what to do anymore. ...I guess I'll go. Sheathing his sword Zeldris started off towards the town again, going around the giant pit of sand. Getting stuck in an antlion trap was not on his list of things to do. As he walked off Zeldris flipped open his menu and pulled out a new wedge of cactus and started snacking on it. It wasn't incredible, but he couldn't call it bad too. Maybe if it was mixed with this or that, maybe some fruits. He would have to ask someone to experimen

The area where the Sand Shark had landed was left with a massive crater in the sand. Zeldris stared down into the crater, then up at the sky, then out at the horizons. He'd done it. No, he'd done more than simply win. He'd just completely obliterated the field boss on his own, as though the piscine had been rendered helpless. Had he really grown this strong? This fast? For a moment Zeldris could hardly believe it. A small window popped up in front of him, displaying his rewards. He'd gotten a little col and some kind of item, but what really caught his attention was the obscene amount of

Zeldris shifted his feet as the Sand Shark came crashing down on its side against the desert floor. His sword's tip hovered just over the sand's surface as he kicked off the ground, lunging at the giant piscine monster and slashing his sword into its bottom jaw. Not yet. He kept moving forward, picking up speed as he went. The blade of his sword sliced cleanly through the monsters, leaving a thin red line behind it. Not yet... With a final burst of speed, he shot beyond the creature, swinging his sword so that it finally cut cleanly and completely through the side of the giant shar

Yukiro drew his sword, glancing around. This was it..! Nobody else here. Just him and what's supposed to be a major opponent. Nothing to interrupt. Nothing to trip him up. Nothing holding him back, nothing pushing him onward. It was time for a true test of his abilities. Grinning, Yukiro-- no, he could be himself here. Zeldris looked the charging Sand Shark straight in the eye and set his sword in an open low stance. His aura shifted from haphazard to fierce. The massive beast opened it's mouth as it got closer, preparing to swallow him whole. One moment more... Zeldris' sword whirled

The cactus water reminded Yukiro of coconut water. Not because of the taste. The flavor was very different. But cactus water and coconut water had very similar names, so it only made sense that one would remind him of the other. Off in the distance, Yukiro noticed something moving through the sand. The only reason he could see it was because it was moving; if it hadn't been moving Yukiro might have just assumed it was the shadow of a particularly high dune. It was dark in coloration and seemed to be fairly large after you consider the distance. But it was still quite the trek away. Yukir

Yukiro had stopped for a moment to just admire the cactus when he remembered something. Cacti were supposed to have water reserves inside of them. If he could cut into this one he could get something to drink. And drinking water was essential in the desert. Yukiro drew his sword and slashed into the cactus. The blade sliced cleanly through the towering plant, the top of which slid a bit on its base before tilting and falling over. I cut through it..? Hm. It must not be a very difficult thing to cut. I'll keep that in mind. He raised his sword and made two more cuts into the cactus, th
