Kylissia

Kylissia understood what Sotarou meant. Of course, the mind was always the strongest tool of a human being, it could understand how a world works, and either create or find, then utilize something that allows them to affect the world around them to their benefit. This game was no different in terms of how the mind could survive out here. Make use of the skills, professions, and systems of the game, that they may be used to your advantage...of course, there was indeed something in charge that would probably notice if something ever got too broken. "Well, this is one of th

Trees were everywhere on this floor, not much stone to find and break down... While it was true that there are some more organically sourced parts for trinkets that exist, Kylissia would need precious stones and metals for the profession she was aiming for. She looked around the area as Sotarou was trying to cut a tree down with a katana...unless the world and weapon logic was the same as that in Breath of the Wild, that wasn't likely to work. Just as Kylissia noticed an odd stone nestled at a tree trunk, Sotarou made his attempt, but the entire tree was destroyed. Kylissia felt sorry for the

Kylissia was learning more and more about this boy the more she stuck around him. He was hopeful and intelligent, but terribly unlucky. He would not like Gacha Games... Oddly enough, Sotarou seemed to have the impression that Kylissia was aiming for a Tank Build. "Oh, the Thorns? I have that on my armor because it can't use Evasion properly, I'm more of a damage dealer myself, the armor was just personal choice." Kylissia explained. "I'll definitely think about my build as I improve, of course, so maybe someday." She added. He really wante

Kylissia focused on climbing up and getting back onto solid ground while Sotarou attempted another attack. Once she'd managed to climb up and gat a footing, she noticed the wolf dodge Sotarou's attack... This was her chance. Kylissia wasted no time in activating her sword art. Her weapon glowed, she took position to swing... "Peekaboo." The wolf turned it's head just to meet Kylissia's weapon head on, it would not be around to see tomorrow. Kylissia sheathed her weapon, now that all active enemies were slain. She sighed

This wolf was a clever one, being able to tangle with Kylissia in a way that kept it from taking too many hits...but it's HP drained anyway because there was nothing it could do to prevent the thorns damage it suffered with each successful hit. However, based on what happened next, it seemed like it was taking this problem into account and trying to make a last ditch effort to give itself a small chance of winning. The wolf began to circle around Kylissia, who just stayed on guard, waiting for the opportunity to strike where an opening is. The wolf gave itself a false opening,

The wolf looked to Kylissia after Sotarou spoke, it was probably making a connection to the situation...that is, that's what Kylissia had guessed when the wolf caught her blade in its jaw when she attempted to attack. "Oh...so you want to play then, do you?" She remarked, as her eyes narrowed and a smirk formed on her face. Taking full grip of the hilt, she was ready to keep this from going to the wolf's advantage. "Very well then, let's play!" She said as she began to swing around, to the point where the wolf could no longer hold a grip on her weapon, being flung a fair distance in meters. It

Kylissia wrenched her weapon free from the tree, just in time to witness Sotarou's sword art. Impressive as it was, it was apparently dodged. Both wolves remained. Kylissia took a second to plan out her movements, wondering how would be the best way to defeat them. When Kylissia activated her sword art, the larger wolf was preparing another attack against Sotarou. The other wolf dodged her attack, mainly because her focus shifted to the more immediate threat. Kylissia's weapon hacked, slashed and struck the larger wolf before it could reach Sotarou, and her weapon was

Sotarou's attack caused the wolves to split their gazes of aggression. One of the wolves was killed, three remained. Kylissia would take this chance to attack while they were disoriented. The greater wolf would once again leap out of harm's way, but one of the wolves was not so lucky, and met its end at Kylissia's blade. One wolf turned out to be a bit more clever, waiting for Kylissia to reach it, before leaping backwards, in which her weapon would get stuck in a tree. Kylissia let out a strained grunt as she struggled to try and free her weapon. She was able to use her

Kylissia watched the enemies appear. It was clear they'd figured out their surprise had failed. The aggressive gaze of the monsters, their healthy appearance, despite their yellowed fur...if this game was as lifelike as it was claimed to be, then they weren't exactly hungry. Of course, carnivorous animals and predatory hunters could still be hostile to travelers if they felt threatened or were too territorial for their own good. Regardless of which possibility it was, the pack's leader did not look willing to let the players have a chance to leave their hunting grounds.

Crossing the bridge, which appeared to be outstretched tree trunks that crossed over the gap to the other side, would be how the two players left the safe zone, it seemed. The safe zone's guards looked at the players as the two passed the border, looking upon them as though they were an unusual sight. The guards didn't appear to be human, so it made enough sense, maybe humans were rare on this floor within its lore. Kylissia simply smiled warmly and waved as she kept walking alongside Sotarou. After crossing the natural bridge, Kylissia would take in the sight of her s

Kylissia listened carefully and attentively to Sotarou's answer. "Aww, how sweet..." Kylissia remarked. "I've got a good feeling about this day...I'm sure you'll find the Koba of this world, Sotarou, no doubt." She added with a gentle, warm smile, assuring him that this day would be a success. Sotarou turned to look at the safe zone's exit, and thought aloud to himself as he took deep breaths. Kylissia silently listened, as the boy revealed more about his past within this game. Individuals in black cloaks...they must have been a unified outfit of sorts; a Guild or organization. Kylissi

Kylissia began to wonder if the black storm had anything to do with the destruction of Sotarou's quest item. There were quite a number of changes that had happened since then, it almost felt like starting over, with a revamped cast of NPCs, and a brave new world to boot. The Gypsy NPC approached Sotarou, most likely to refresh his quest. As Kylissia watched the interaction unfold, it seemed to be the case. A part of the NPCs words stuck within Kylissia's mind, "Find a Soul that pairs well with you." This could be applied in a number of ways, but due to the context, it was clearl

It would seem that the boy was under the impression that it was possible for a party to find multiple familiars if they encountered the quest NPC even once. Kylissia shook her head. "The quest only triggers for those approached by the quest giver, from what I know. It's all up to whom the quest giver chooses, they're quite an enigma in that aspect, for this quest, it's not you who finds it, the quest finds you." She explained. "That being said, I don't mind if it is you finding the familiar, or the other way around. Since I have yet to see most of the floors and possibilities for

Kylissia noticed the change in the boy's expression when she mentioned her choice to not wear armor at all times. She could have easily told him how the safe zones make it literally impossible for players to die within them, how even duels, from what she'd heard, could never drop a player's HP to zero. She could have told him these things, and more...but that would surely be taken as brushing his thoughts, and his real life experiences, aside. Kylissia knew caution, and she knew to equip her armor before stepping out, but anywhere within town was fair game to dress casually.

Kylissia was not surprised with how the young man appeared to carry himself during the conversation. The clearing of his throat before he began, his darting gaze that kept shifting...ah, perhaps he was nervous? Kylissia proceeded to look at him up and down, a quick once over in attempt to see if she could glean anything from the boy's body language. Then came his question to her. Kylissia chuckled. "I'm not that high enough level just yet, though if I was, I certainly wouldn't mind carrying a Samurai in training like yourself." She answered. Placing a hand on

The training session with that young woman had yet to bear much fruit, Kylissia's level was still problematically low before she'd ran out of time. She got up from her rented bed in the local inn. She'd need to start training and grinding soon if she wanted better living for herself, that takes col, and she wasn't earning as much as she needed as of the moment. She looked into the mirror, no more than a minute or two, then she began to change into her usual outfit for being in the safe zone. She first put on her dress, which was carnation pink in color, with a Scoo

Oh, this redhead was just too easy, teasing him was a cinch. Sorun seemed to then have some trouble with his attempt to fight. He dispatched one of the three boars, so he had that going for him. That little stumble at the end, in Kylissia's opinion, was just par for the course, seeing that he may have been new, though she didn't know how the brunette would think of it. Kylissia proceeded to make a sweeping attack against the two remaining Boars. One of them was finished off, while the other seemed to be more clever than Kylissia had anticipated, using its tusks to deflect and disarm h

The boy seemed to be both comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time as Kylissia was looking him up and down. Now she wanted to see if she could get a reaction out of him for the fun of it, so she decided to see if a wink would tease him. After Kylissia gave her username to the redhead and Yona, the redhead would introduce himself as Sorun. Yona would then send party invites to Sorun and Kylissia. Once the invites were accepted, boars emerged from the overgrowth, and they didn't look very friendly. Yona would rush towards the larger one, as another lesser boar would emerge and join up

The redhead accepted the Amber and pulled out an axe that turned out to have ran out of durability. The brunette girl would then give him some equipment to replace his lost item and current gear. He should be ready soon. The brunette girl pointed out that Kylissia and the young man would need to reveal their usernames if she was to send them party invites. Which, Kylissia was fine with, but before she could speak, the brunette girl sighed and asked to be excused for a moment, and would proceed to run off, leaving Kylissia and the young redhead alone for a short moment. Kylissia looked bac

All three of the players seemed to be in agreement that for this young man to have been out for a year wasn't the most plausible, but the evidence seemed to suggest it for the time being. For now, it would be best to simply help him out, perhaps even invite him to join the party. Kylissia looked over towards the brunette girl, as she was the highest level player of the three. "We should set up a party and have him join in, we'd be able to accomplish more by working together." She suggested. Sure, the Brunette girl was of a higher level, but they might be able to handle themselves...hopefu

The young man would proceed to speak of what he remembered, though he seemed to have some mild difficulty at first. Whatever he'd been through, it must have been harsh. Only one thing seemed familiar enough to recognize, though... The brunette girl believed he was merely speaking only of dreams, which may have partially been the case. "...But there actually was a storm, wasn't there?" Kylissia pointed out. The brunette looked over to Kylissia with a confused expression on her face, before claiming that no such thing happened. "That's what I'd thought, too, but when I spoke to others about

My, things have been getting pretty interesting lately. A player who carried herself with confidence was higher level than Kylissia, and didn't seem to mind carrying. Fear had gripped most of the playerbase, but the time was coming for the masses to do more than just sit around the starting city, afraid of being killed by the weakest possible foe. Kylissia knew this, and how could she enjoy what was around if all she did was stay in one settlement? It wasn't long before the two came across a male player, lying down on the ground. At first glance, just anyone might simply assume he wa

Kylissia had been needing to get more items before setting out, and she'd heard of just the place to do so. There was an Artisan shop within the starting city, but since it was within one of the shadier locales of the settlement, Kylissia decided it was best to equip her new armor before going in. Once she reached the shop and entered it, she would look around to see what was around or if anyone was there. There wasn't anyone at the counter, maybe the shopkeeper was busy? Kylissia would continue to look around for the time being, eventually finding an amber and a crystal, both having some

Kylissia had been needing to get outside the starting zone for some time now, but she would need some equipment first. Problem was, however, she couldn't find many available Blacksmiths within the Town of Beginnings, leaving her to seek out other ways to get some gear for herself. She was able to convince someone to escort her to a rumored blacksmith said to be on the seventh floor, so she at least had that going for her. Upon arrival, she would take a look around, before being greeted by the shopkeep. There were plenty of players who had become blacksmiths, but she'd never seen a male bl
