Bismuth

"I would never want to harm this place, but these materials." Bismuth's eyes were wide with awe, he was like a kid in a candy shop for the very first time, Bismuth pulled out the journal that he had on his thigh, this one was the newest one, one that he always documented things he had never seen before. "I have never seen anything like some of these." Bismuth looked over towards Nemo as he pulled the pencil in its pouch as well. "May I?" the small nod that Nemo gave was enough for Bismuth to begin, drawing what was, apparently a new material for Bismuth, almost completely ignoring his friend a

Bismuth smiled at her admonition towards liking fish, Bismuth grew up in Japan, and fish was a huge part of his diet, and was something that he was very good at making. "I'm glad, it's really all I know how to make right now, but when I get better I plan to branch it out more." Bismuth made quick work of everything in the kitchen and it didn't take long before the food was ready, a completely traditional breakfast. Bismuth led Nari back to the main dining area, and placed the food down on the table, a bowl of miso soup, paired with pan fried fish, steamed vegetables, and sticky rice. Tak

It wasn't like Bismuth didn't try to sleep, it was just that even if he did, he would be awoken after only a few hours at most, and finding sleep after that point was harder then finding it in the first place. Bismuth looked everywhere in the kitchen except for Nari's eyes "I will do my best. And as for breakfast, why don't we stick with what I know?" It was less of a question than it was a statement, but he was still hoping it suited Nari, though he thought maybe she wouldn't know what he was good at "By that a mean, Japanese style." Bismuth had never introduced himself, and not being complet

Bismuth's slash was blown out wide as his opponent stepped forward into his slash, countering with his own slash at his neck, Bismuth flinched before the weapon even struck, which it ended up doing, making him grunt in pain. Cursing under his breath Bismuth continued his back pedal, he had spent two years in this game, away from the real world, why was it still affecting him so much, Bismuth grew a scowl on his face, and though to most people, they would just assume it was because he was losing, but truly it was because he couldn't shake his own past, even when he was more free then he had eve

Bismuth chuckled at Nari's straight forwardness about her lack of skill in the kitchen "Don't worry, I myself don't have much skill, honestly, I just like it because I can make myself buffs." Bismuth winked as he walked through the half door that separated his cluttered kitchen from the main dining room, gesturing for Nari to follow as the door swung softly from being moved through. Truthfully, Bismuth wasn't the biggest fan of cooking in the real world, he had always loved to paint though, and because that wasn't really a profession he could have he had practically chosen cook at complete ran

Bismuth chuckled at the thought of Astreya failing to garden, he wasn't trying to be mean, but it didn't particularly surprise him by any means. "I never had the chance to have a garden." Bismuth followed behind the recently dubbed Nemo and beside Astreya as they were lead deeper into the forest, towards the direction of the edge. Bismuth really knew the advantage that a guide would bring to finding things, having been one for multiple players before, and was glad that they were able to find one here and now. He was confident that they would have been able to find the dungeon eventually on the

Bismuth was in his cramped and messy room, working on all of his charts and maps like he always did, taking notes on things that he had already taken notes on to make sure that they were worded the best they could be and held as much detail as he could manage. Bismuth planned on publishing all of his research someday into one big compendium, a large manifest of everything that he had been able to learn throughout his time in Sword Art Online. hearing a knock on his door downstairs Bismuth blinked, taking the focus away from his writing made him realize that he hadn't slept again, and could fee

Bismuth was glad that Nari was getting better at talkin, this felt a lot more natural then the last time they had, where she seemed way too bad at talking to people to actually hold a conversation this long. "It's fairly quaint just a small little tavern, but for now, it's home." Bismuth smiled, yawning again as they talked, raising a questioning eyebrow at Nari as she raised her voice to say to have extra utensils, almost as if she wanted there travelling companions to hear it. Shaking his head Bismuth followed Nari, pulling his dagger out of the sheathe on his lower back. "That sounds

Bismuth could see his destination already from where he was, albeit far off in the distance, the lowlands provided a very good view of the mountain that housed the town of Athenaia, there he would be able to find the teleport gate, which would bring him to the third floor, though the roads to the top of the mountain could be very dangerous the Athenaians assumed that you were a Spartaian and the Spartaians assumed you were an Athenaian which just led to either side attacking players on site, which would not bode well for the very under leveled player. Hiding through the lowlands was a lot hard

So far, the matchups seemed to be like they were for the first lesson, the two frontliners would talk amongst themselves while keeping a vague eye on the two newer players who were talking amongst themselves, almost as if they were two completely separate groups. Though something seemed off about Nari and NIGHT, last time they were completely flustered at the sight of each other, but now it seemed like not only were that not the case, but rather there was something, different there, an animosity perhaps. Bismuth just shook his head, it wasn't really his business, going back to paying attention

Bismuth smiled, a tired demeanor permeating his whole body, normally he was gripped with fear in combat, but the respect that his opponent was showing was representing his culture nicely, though the confidence quickly subsided, because he knew that looks could be completely deceiving, and that despite the man before him seemed his younger, that did not mean he was not a superior combatant, because Bismuth could barely hold the wooden curved blade that he carried for most fights. Bowing respectfully at his opponent, Bismuth also drew his blade, longer than the dagger he had used last time,

"It definitely feels like there should be something more here, but I don't see anything at all." Bismuth kept his eyes looking around there surroundings as they talked, he figured that it was more important to be watching for any kind of entrance then it was to be polite, but as off right now he couldn't see anything at all. It definitely didn't help that practically everything in these woods looked identical, it was definitely a forest, which made it all that much harder for one to keep their bearings, though Bismuth wasn't having much trouble at all. "We have to be, and if we both fell somet

Bismuth just smiled at his companion, his tired eyes full of warmth, the sun coming through the thick overhead canopy glinting off of his glasses. Bismuth readjusted the sword he now carried on his hip, much longer than the dagger he was used to, and not something he was all that used to yet. "I have heard some rumors too, so it has to be here somewhere. Thankyou again for inviting me, it fells nice to have companions for once. Especially one who can take care of themselves easily. And me honestly" Bismuth reached into his inventory and pulled out a small snack, popping it in his mouth before

Stepping back into his kitchen Bismuth began the process of preparing more snacks, this was his general morning routine, he would spend all nigh fiddling with his charts and maps, sleep an hour or maybe more if he was lucky, and then he would cook for himself before heading out to adventure, or gather materials for the day. He may be tired all of the time, but he enjoyed his life just like it was, though even if he didn't being able to sleep for more than a few hours was a luxury that Bismuth rarely had. Bismuth shook his head as he began chopping up his ingredients, normally a lot of fish and

The ping startled Bismuth, it had only been a day since he had ordered the sword from Nari, but it seemed she was already done with it, a speedy craftsman, though he doubted that would effect the quality by any means. Putting his charcoal pencil away. clothes and hands covered in charcoal Bismuth made his way to the teleporter in order to procure his new weapon. The walk from his shop on the third floor to the teleporter was a decent one, with him no living in the main settlement, but rather a small town outside of it. Soon enough though Bismuth found himself back at Nari's shop customary tire

Bismuth looked over at Nari, who was now coming back from talking to the NPC for this quest, though she seemed a lot more confident in herself than last time. Boarlets didn't sound like much of a problem at all, especially since he had put on more than a few levels, but fights would never be Bismuth's cup of tea, and the light fear grasping at him was all the proof anyone would need. Looking over to Koga at his words on being busy Bismuth smiled, his warm smile having been replaced by a tired one. "Got my shop open. Bed's not the best, but I rarely use it anyways." It was like Bismuth had been

This was going to be Bismuth's very first attempt at actually making something useful since he had gained his cooking profession. Yawning Bismuth stretched as he entered his kitchen, he had recently stockpiled it full of materials, but hadn't had the chance to use any of them yet. Getting to work Bismuth began chopping and prepping everything that he would need, as of right now all he could really make were snacks, but even so, he would put his all into it, especially if he could create something actually worthwhile.

Bismuth was now a little bit higher level, a little bit less than halfway to his goal, and with that it was time to revamp his armor ands style. There was only one tailor in town that Bismuth knew of, Setsuna, and though the last encounter had went fine, her reputation was that of a prickly person to deal with. With a hand drawn blueprint in hand Bismuth once again entered the shop. "Hello" Bismuth looked around the shop as he talked "I would like to place an order for cloth armor, I have a blueprint here." Standing at the counter Bismuth didn't know what to do, waiting for the owner to c

A decision had been made, Bismuth wasn't getting anywhere with his search here, but he knew he had some stuff that he left at home that would be able to help him in his search, most notably the glasses that Freyd had given him on their first encounter. His Hikei, or revealing mirror, made it a lot easier to notice material nodes around him, giving the ones that had materials to find a feint blue glow. It would be a really slow and long trek back to the main city here on the seventeenth floor, and he would have to go through territory even more dangerous than this one, the hoplites were even ha

Bismuth stepped out of the arena on less shaky legs, his confidence being boosted by his victory, though he chalked it up almost completely to luck more than to anything else. He wasn't a practiced combatant, even more than that he could barely hold his weapon when it came down to combat. Either way, a win under his belt really meant something for his confidence, and with it he was able to stand a lot taller when he put his slightly curved wooden dagger back on the weapons rack, as he looked through the sea of people. Bismuth didn't have to wonder for very long about who he would go start
