Kanaoki

Sitting where he had just fought, Kana was panting and slowly sank into the grass, till he was lying, face towards the blue sky and looking at the clouds. The fight had drained his energy, and he felt like he had climbed a huge mountain, and just like that, he felt proud. He had left the Town of Beginnings, and not only had he managed to complete his first ever quest, that rewarded him with the fishing profession, but he had also tested the combat system and had been successful. This feeling of proud, combined with the fact, that he had been outside for nearly half the day and fightin

Facing just one more monster, Kanas mood brightened, and he stopped running away from it. This was what he had waited for, while he had lived his quiet live in the Town of Beginnings, and just now that he had the equipment to protect him, was able to do. He stood there, staring at the boar, that once again huffed with glowing red eyes and stomped its front hove before charging at him with all its power. Kana had had enough of hiding and running away, this was what he wanted to do. He would become stronger and stronger, and he would make it to the frontlines. He always had had to do it by

Still tumbling away from the two boars Kana decides that it is best to get some distance from them before continuing to fight. So event though they are behind him, he doesn't turn his head, but simply runs from them, looking out for other boars, especially since he had found that there were aggressive versions of them to find around the fields he was fleeing through. Through his heavy breath he could hear the boars charging after him, and soon had to realize that the monsters were faster than him, as one of them passed him on the right, just to crash right into him and making him fall to the g

Pushing himself of the boar, that had just sunken his tusks in his armor, Kana got a few feet of room in-between himself and the mob that panted with rage, while also getting a glance a the second one, that was circling them. Noticing this, Kana began backing away from the closer boar, trying to get both of them in front of him again, but the second monster was faster than him, and before he could turn around, it charged him once again. The attack nearly missed him, as he stumbled to the side, but the boar still managed to land a blow and made him stumble even more. Once again his HP drop

Kana was rolling in the dirt, when the two remaining boars started their next attack. He saw their hooves spraying dirt and barely managed to roll out of their path of destruction. His former attack, and the sudden movement of evading their attack had left him panting, and he had problems getting to his feet, so when he finally was back on his feet, he released a sigh of relief. Following this, he turned his head, just to see one of the boars already charging at him again, and this time he wasn't quick enough. The boars tusks raveled in his pants and managed to deal a little damage, before the

With full HP but not so full Energy, Kana decided, that he could have another swing at fighting, as the previous fight hadn't taken more than a quarter of his energy. This time he would try out one of the other sword arts he had gained from the beginning, as to see if it was as effective as hoped for. He had read that using two handed weapons, one could unleash a heavy swing that could hit multiple enemies at once, and this was, what he was going to try. With the sword in hand, he walked through the fields, searching for a group of boars, but they only appeared solo, always to far from e

With his energy dropped by 25% from this short battle, Kana decided to continue his way back to town slowly and once again using the time to gather some materials. So the short walk towards the next pack of boars wasn't as boring as it would have been, had he simply waited for his energy to regenerate, but he was actively doing something. Kanas perception stat was at the basic beginner level, so he had a hard time finding good spots to gather material, but after some time he stumbled upon a heap of reddish stones and decided to try his gatherer skill on them. The skill activated and he gat

Okay, so even with the system helping me to move, it's still no guarantied hit Kana thought when he was getting back on his feet, the boar already charging at him again, but this time he was prepared. He simply sidestepped the huge boar, and when the mob tried to use it's tusk to still damage him, he blocked that damage with his armor. As the boar still charges, it now quickly increases the distance to Kana and before it can turn again, he is behind it. For a short moment, the sword stops to start the sword art, then it arches through the monster, not once, not twice, but a full four times. Ev

After defeating his first enemy, and not having a hard time with it, Kana decided he would go for some more Monster hunting while walking back to Town. The Plains he was walking through had plenty of boars, but one that looked a little bigger and had a scare over his face, ending in a broken tusk on its left side. Just from appearance alone, this one looked like it could take a beating, and the name that appeared over it, once Kana was close enough seemed to confirm this. This wasn't one of the classical Frenzy Boars that were found in masses out here, but an boar veteran. Getting ready

It was really nice, that there wasn't Pain involved in fighting, as this could have been another reason for players to detain from it. Besides the fact, that there wasn't any pain, just the short moment of disorientation that followed the attack, Kana was ready again just a few moments later and he wouldn't wait for the boar to get ready itself. The sword in hand he lunged forward, the sword arching from top right down to his left side and left another red line on the boars side. The line was smaller and it's HP dropped, but stayed just a little above dead and turned red. The boar didn't seem

Ready to actually test the skill he had just done some dry training for, Kana made his way back to the Hills he had fist passed, when leaving the Town of Beginning this morning. There in the green fields he could see a multitude of boars roaming around, and he was sure, they would be good targets for his next step. As he didn't know, how strong his attacks would be, he decided that fighting a single boar would be a good start, and so he ducked and sneaked towards one of the boars. As his sneaking skill was non existent, the monster noticed him the moment he entered it's sensory range and turne

After he had run those first few tests, he was ready to try out the most important system of the game. As it was called Sword Art Online, and they were supposed to fight monsters to clear the game, he would have to use his sword to be an effective help. He knew, that it would take some time, before he would be able to really help, and he might actually never reach the frontline, but at least he was finally doing something. To solidify this train of thoughts, he pulled the sword from his hip and tried to hold it in a battle pose, just to notice that he wasn't sure, how that had to look

Okay, so that's how gathering worked, Kana thought, while checking the freshly gathered material in his inventory. He was happy, that the system worked just as he had thought and left it at that. He knew he would be able to get more materials if he needed them, but decided he wouldn't do so at the time, as he didn't know what kind of materials he would need to upgrade his gear. Closing the inventory again, he took a last glance at the fishing rod and left the Lakeshore. Taking a stroll around the lake he began discovering the area and started to check how quick he could run, how high he c

It hadn't been enough experience for him to level up yet, but he was on a good way to reach level two, so he decided to stay a little longer and test out the other skills he was supposed to have. From the players who had done some exploring before returning to the Town of Beginnings, he had learned, that everyone could use a skill called <<gather>>. So he once again opened his character sheet and had a look through the skill section. There it stated that he had beginner rank skill in his straight sword, which he had known, as it had been a skill he had chosen, after buying the new

When Kana stood up and strolled back over to Anthony he felt kind of cheap. He was sure the quest wasn't supposed to take this little time, and that there was more he could learn about fishing, but his questlog had updated and told him to bring the scale back to the fisherman, and so he did. The fisherman looked at him, clearly puzzled as to why the adventurer was back already and voiced his feeling in asking "You're back already. Found that fishing isn't for you, huh?" but when Kana shook his head, the puzzlement in his gaze got even more prevalent. "If that's not it, why are you back alre

With the <<Bless Bait>> in his inventory Kana waved the young fisherman goodbye and made his way to the lake just to notice he had forgotten to ask for a fishing rod. He was sure it would be possible to just use the bait somehow, but that would be strange to him. He had done some fishing in the real world, so he knew the basics and he would use this knowledge now. He was on his way back to Anthony when he notices a rack of simple fishing rods next to the shack and without further asking he grabbed one and wasn't really surprised when the popup appeared in front of him and asked,

Once Kana had reached the turn in the road that lead away from the Lake he was walking towards, he left the path and his thoughts began spinning. What if something attacked him out here was the most prevalent question, that made his mind wander and dream up scenes of brutal battle with him winning and losing, or him running from what ever monster he could imagine. But there was nothing attacking him, and soon he returned to slowly walking forward. When the Lake was closer, he could make out a shack of some kind, maybe housing a boat, or someone using the lake? It didn't take long for him

Outside the Town of Beginnings the Air somehow seemed to be fresher and Kana took a deep breath, before he cautiously checked his gear. The newly bought heavy armor covered most of his body, only showing his head and the backside of his legs. It felt heavy, but he could move normally and it wasn't nearly as restricting as he had thought. If this would keep true, when he was doing sporty stuff like swinging a sword was to be seen. With the armor equipped he quickly looked down and saw both the blue sapphire in the hilt of his sword sparkle in the sunlight, as well as the blue crystal trinket he

It was really early when Kana woke up. The sun hadn't even risen, but there was enough light to see already, so he didn't waste any more time and left the tavern he stayed in. Once he was out in town, he noticed that there were little to no NPCs and other players awake already, but he knew the bakery he was getting his breakfast from would be open, so he headed there. The Smell of freshly baked bread could be perceived before he rounded the corner, and his stomach grumbled once. The moment the corner lay behind him, he saw the sign that looked like a loaf of bread and underneath the baker he

Three days had gone by since Kana had bought all those fancy items and had wanted to start his adventure, but the day after, he had woken up and felt kind of ill. He didn't really understand it, as it had seemed there wasn't anything like illnesses in the game. At least not without getting them from some monster or what not. So he had stayed in the tavern he had rented a room, lay in bed and dreamed about the amazing adventure he could now go on. The day after it had been better, but he still wasn't feeling to well, but by then he had realized it was fear and not some illness. What would happe

With his new armor equipped and the big royal looking sword at his side Kana made his way through the quieter parts of town. He felt ready to start his adventure, but at the same Time he knew, there was something missing. Opening his character sheet, he glanced over the equipped items and realized, he hadn't picked up any trinkets or rings. He knew there probably was a quest line, that would reward him with something useful, but why wait, when he could just spend some of the money he had earned over the time that had passed since he got caught in the game. Thinking about that, he shuddere

Today was the day, Kana had finally gotten the payout from helping the adventurers that had returned to the Town of Beginnings, and he had it all planed out. He would use the materials to get some gear together, as he was sure not to leave the town in starting gear. The only thing he wasn't so sure about, was the place he was going to buy what he needed, as there were so many places that called out for him to buy. So he walked around town, looking at all those NPC stores, until he was done with this and decided to leave the busy roads and have a look at those stores opened by adventuring fo
