Kiyabu Hisao

Kiyabu knelt in the patch of wildflowers, feeling the weight of disappointment settle on his shoulders. Despite his best efforts, his search for medicinal herbs had yielded little more than a handful of common weeds. Each failed attempt chipped away at his enthusiasm, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that perhaps luck had simply turned its back on him today. Just as he was about to resign himself to a fruitless afternoon, a flicker of movement caught his eye. He glanced up and spotted Perlita, the playful little sea otter darting around the foliage like a brown-and-white whirlwind. She peeked

Kiyabu's initial search for the elusive wildflowers had proven fruitless, much to his disappointment. However, the young adventurer was not one to be easily discouraged. As he heard the news of his new friend, Dean, succeeding in his hunt for medicinal herbs, Kiyabu couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. After all, they were in this quest together, and he had hoped they would all find what they needed. Yet, Kiyabu quickly pushed those feelings aside, remembering that this was not a competition, but a collaborative effort. His warm, gentle smile betrayed a maturity beyond his years as he

Whilst listening attentively to her words, Kiyabu had a look of surprise on his face. When it was revealed, That she didn't have flocks of players coming to her bakery. “I'm genuinely surprised, That only three or four people have come to your bakery.. Even when the baked goods are this delicious, I might visit your shop more often to hopefully drive up business..” As Kiyabu had a warm smile on his face, While Ciela took this opportunity to paint a vivid picture of the two stores. Overlooking the vast, Yet serene view of the twenty-second floor lake. He could faintly imagine this tantalising v

Whilst pulling back quickly, Kiyabu witnessed Terra Firma burrowing underneath the sandy terrain once again. As the boss locked onto its next target, Which happened to be their high level party leader Wulfrin. Who took the piercing bite of this boss head-on like a unit. “Looks like it's finally over.” After those words left his lips, Kiyabu reached a hand up to the mask. As he unequipped it. “Nicely done, Wulfrin!” While giving some words of praise, A notification popped with a congratulatory message from Abdullah. On their success in defeating Terra Firma. “Wait.. How did he know?” He found t

After successfully delivering two critical stabs between the hardened scales of Terra Firma, It became apparent that the boss had shifted its focus to him. “Shit..!” Because Kiyabu had succeeded in exploiting the <Weak Spot> He had effectively taken aggro from Wulfrin, But that wasn't all. As he also met the conditions, For the activation of <Assault Mode>. “Come on.. Come on..” With Terra Firma burrowing underneath the shifting sands, He needed to tread carefully. While trying to notice any subtle change in the sandy terrain, Kiyabu heard Wulfrin's words. “I don't doubt it, That I

Hearing that Ciela had mentioned his name to her husband albeit briefly, Kiyabu felt a tad embarrassed. “After completing that quest, It became a reality check.. That I needed to go out and get stronger, Because I can't keep hiding away from this <Death Game> while others are fighting for their lives.. As for the gear department, If you know any tailors.. I'll definitely give them a visit, But if you don't know any.. I might have to become my own tailor..” As a hearty chuckle escaped his lips. “Though, I will take you up on the offer for an upgraded dagger.. But that can wait for now, Un

“I'm sure those that purchase your products, Offer some flattering compliments in return.. After having a taste of these delicacies.. But you're very welcome as well.” Kiyabu happily accepted her words of gratitude, While taking in the adorable view of Ciela's cheerful smile. And expressing, That others have probably flattered her with plenty of compliments in the past. “I'll definitely have to stop by this bakery of yours in the futu-” Before finishing his own sentence, Kiyabu noticed the subtle play on words. “Hahaha.. That’s brilliant wordplay~!” Kiyabu praised, With a hearty chuckle. “If y

Whilst pondering the potential connection this individual had with a friend of his, It wouldn't be long until his inquiry was answered. But it came shortly, After the player described his clear disdain of Abdullah. ‘Clearly, This guy had a troublesome encounter with that NPC.. But I can see the superiority complex.. Since Abdullah did have this air of arrogance.’ He thought in agreement with Wulfrin's words. “It seems, That my assumption of your name was spot on..” As those words left his lips, He would pick up a cupcake. “I actually met your wife on Floor 1.. While taking on the beginner ques

After successfully completing “The First Few Lessons" With the helpful assistance from a more seasoned player, Who simply wanted to help new players in this Beginner friendly task. Kiyabu made sure to send them a friend request, Because he didn't know that many people in this game yet. So this knightness would be the first of many new friends. At the same time, A fellow new player interrupted their conversation. But Kiyabu and his friend didn't really mind, As they listened attentively to his self introduction. After getting to know each other, What originally was a duo party. Slowly evolved i

After offering the little sea otter, Perlita a tiny bit of his cookie. A warm smile curved along his lips, While watching the familiar munching on it with a look of satisfaction. Kiyabu finally decides to take a bite of it himself. “Mh~m!” As the sweet, Yet crunchy texture filled his mouth. Kiyabu couldn't describe this feeling of nostalgia, But it almost felt like home. This resulted in a subtle tear dripping down his cheek. “Sorry.. Ignore the tears, It's just been so long since I've had anything handmade..” Kiyabu confessed, That it brought back some old memories. From the time he had cooki

“Mh~m!” After taking the initial bite, It felt like his digital taste buds had hopped onto cloud nine. As the rich flavours filled his mouth, A tangy yet caramelised texture soon followed. “Oh my god! This is sweet perfecti-” Before finishing that sentence, A notification popped up in front of him. <”Due to consumption of Deep Fried Vanilla Ice Cream, Player has received an Enhancement.”> After reading the notification, Dean had a shocked facial expression. “WHAT!! You can get buff’s from eating food!” So it became apparent, That he didn't bother to fully immerse himself in the newbie ha

With yet another stroke of bad luck, A subtle sigh escaped his lips. Before skimming one of the pebbles across the shallow pond. “This is much harder, Than I first thought..” While contemplating the difficulty of his first quest, Dean felt a bit guilty for not trying to get his hands on some equipment. Since it was quite clear, That this <Death Game> wasn't for the ill-equipped. “Huh?” However, While mauling over his past regrets. He could faintly hear the sound of children laughing, Which was a welcome change of pace. “It's alright, I don't mind them laughing.. Since everyone needs a go

With a gentle and genuine smile of his own, Kiyabu eventually had his attention grabbed by the little sea otter. Who was scampering around them both in an excited manner, This garnered not only a chuckle from Ciela. But from him as well. “Haha~..” After a subtle laugh, He finally learned the familiar's name. “I'm sure Perlita isn't always a troublemaker.” Kiyabu found Perlita's antics rather adorable in nature, Because it reminded him of a pet he had growing up. She was playful and very energetic around new people. This fond memory made his face soften with a hint of sadness behind the eyes.

Unbeknownst to either party, That they were about to collide with each other. Kiyabu took the initial step round a corner, Only to bump into a fellow player. “Oof~!” Thankfully no one was seriously hurt at this moment. But that’s when he heard something squeaking, Before tilting his gaze down to see a familiar flailing its tiny paws about. “Oh!” After coming to the realisation, That it was being squished. They both instinctively took a step back, To allow the poor otter some breathing room. Eventually, Kiyabu witnessed the young lady bowing her head in apology for this incident. “No.. no
