Boreas

Boreas mournfully nodded his head in response to Telrenya "Yes. My whole guild, we tried to do a dungeon that were a handful of levels above us to try to gain more in levels to reach the frontlines, and I had the displeasure of seeing them perish one by one. To put it bluntly, it was a nightmare given form. Yet designed by our own mistakes." while he said this with obvious sadness and almost a tremble in his words, somehow managed to keep a more composed face and glance onto the wall of names. Eventually a silence was shared between the two, Boreas thinking only of everything he had seen

Rumors and local legend's had spread very far on the Eighth floor about a creature that terrified its NPC resident's, the Monkey King. Boreas found himself strolling through the lush, vibrantly green forests into Florenthia Village where the tale had begun looking around for any lead or primary NPC to speak to in regards to said Monkey King. While he was here, he took a moment to appreciate the village the NPC's had created for themselves, it looked peaceful for the most part and while they had very limited resources to work with, they managed to craft the best of what they could use. How

Boreas looked upon her as she spoke, still continuing to play his tune, after she finished her statement he looked back to the list of names where she had left flowers "People she knew... seems like I am not the only one that lost more than one person." he had thought to himself for a second before saying out to her "Not a bad practice to have Miss, it is no bad thing to honor the fallen and leave something for them in tribute. Tis why I play my music here, I have nothing else to offer at the given moment so I offer what I can." After another brief moment, Boreas had finished his song the

Boreas looked back to the boss and watched as Morningstar charged at him and massively hit them hard alongside turning them into an iceberg. Boreas was surprised at the players mastery in more than just one weapon, however he figured that this would be normal for someone actively on the front lines. Boreas inspected the bosses health bar after his last punch to the gut and smirked a touch, Boreas knew even if he ran out of energy the likelihood of this boss not dying before hand would be impossible. Nodding to Morningstar's command, Boreas moved forward quickly, this time piercing the frozen e

After Morningstar's comment Boreas nodded in return "I will have your back!" he exclaimed as he moved forward towards the boss again and repeatedly pierced the bosses chest and ended with a slash onto the mighty beast. As he finished his sword art Boreas took a step back and looked up to see the beasts next move, Ugzeke raised his large club into the sky and quickly tried to slam it down onto Boreas, however Boreas was able to see it coming for a brief moment then jumped back away from the Boss forcing it to miss and slam its weapon onto the ground once more. Boreas continued to take a fe

Morningstar and Boreas had done quite the chunk of damage to the boss already, this caused Boreas to slightly smile a bit as he felt like he was finally impressing someone to make it onto the frontlines somehow. He looked over as Morningstar exclaimed it were about to swing, Boreas with a serious look nodded then looked forward as the troll charged forward toward Boreas. While he charged towards Boreas, he too charged towards the boss as he felt like he could take advantage of how the boss was currently moving. Charging up his rapier with a blue color he looked up with a determined glare and p

Boreas' eyes had widen a touch as he exclaimed out hearing his reply "O-oh I see, I'll be sure to try to find you and see your services and see if I can get my hands on something a bit more special." he then took a moment to burn into memory his storefront being located on Floor 8 when he is to find him next for business. Boreas nodded his head and slightly bowed with the reply "It is, after you good sir." then proceeded to follow Morningstar onto the next floor. Floor 23 was drastically different than its previous floor, it had also been Boreas' first time stepping out onto the 23r

"I see. Most interesting, I have pretty much haven't seen any sort of Unique Enhancements before, I have always only ever seen regular equipment before now, wonder how to get my hands on a rare weapon such as yours." he remarked placing a finger on his chin. After his pierce had absolutely no effect to his surprise, with a slight growl Boreas had simply jumped back and switched to Morningstar to take care of the rest, in which not surprisingly Morningstar had completely torn the Witch to shreds reducing her into ash of data. Before long a pop up had appeared before Boreas stating that the

Boreas' tune lasted only but a few moments, while he was still rough around the edges in terms of his string play he was proud of the song he played before the empty mausoleum at least so he thought to be empty. Once he finished the last note of his song a voice exclaimed out to him in compliment, "Hm?" Boreas hummed as he turned to face the blonde figure that had entered. Boreas slightly smiled at her placing his hand on his chest bowing slightly and replied "Thank you miss, I still have a bit to polish on but I appreciate you complimenting my performance." He straightened himself then n

"I see, you must've made a good name for yourself then." Boreas said with a slight smile. Boreas as he followed Morningstar through the grounds of the castle looked from right to left then toward the location where the crow cawed with his rapier pointed in that direction, however he eased himself when he didn't see much of anything outside of the bird. Looking back to the man he bowed slightly "That would be most appreciated, I would certainly like to attend such a meeting and see if I am of any use. I would like to think that I am strong enough to at least be considerable." After Bo

Today felt like every other day in Sword Art Online for Boreas, he awoke in a small Inn in the Town of Beginnings, an Inn he once stayed in very frequently but now for the last time as he sought bigger and better things with himself. There hadn't been a day, especially during his depression where he didn't think about his friends and fallen guild members he met in the real world, now all taken away from him. But, today was going to be a bit different for him, as his last overnight stay in Floor 1 would be an occasion where he would come to finally say goodbye to them and to the past that conti

"That is most quite interesting, for what kind of acting did you perform?" Boreas replied interested in Morningstar's previous stint in acting. After the battle had been won, Boreas still continued to hold his rapier in his hand just on the off chance anything else would come before the encounter with the Witch herself. Unsurprisingly, Morningstar took care of the 2nd monkey rather quickly and with little effort which Boreas continued to feel a touch outclassed at being good at AoE and single target kills. However he cleared his mind of any negative thoughts about himself and said to Mor

Boreas left the store back out into the Town of Beginnings and looked up "Well... this is the first steps to a new life." he thought to himself with a sigh, however he didn't take too long to ponder as he continued to walk through the Town of Beginnings. As he strolled the Town of Beginnings he looked from side to side to the remaining players that could be here, yet only finds NPC's. Boreas frowned a bit, majority of players have since moved on from this floor and have migrated to the higher floors as this one became more obsolete. But to Boreas, it seems like it was yesterday when this death

"I see." Boreas replied "I have been preoccupied with a lot of things in months prior that took me away from getting to know a lot of things, I still have quite a bit to learn when it comes to these quests it would seem." Eventually as they continued to walk up the windy scale, Star returned with his own questions to fill the gaps, without much hesitation and with a slight smile he replied "Performer, I used to play a fair amount of musical instruments back home, with the severe lack of musicians in Aincrad at the moment I think I could bring a sense of peace and therapy through song."

With a slight smile Boreas replied back "It is a pleasure of meeting you sir Morningstar, apologies for the accusation to think you were a witch. I will be a crafter within time, I had come here to this floor originally to find a good place to put my store, however I ended up hearing other players or NPC's talk about a weird rumor about the forest which ended me up here with you. I have not had knowledge this was a quest of some kind." after a moment he blinked a couple times trying to process what he had mentioned, but it slowly made a little more sense given Witches in past games tend to tos

After a few moments of reading he had looked over towards the voice that exclaimed out to him, with a bit of a concerned look he said out to them "Get... whisked away? Might you be the fabled Witch from the rumors people have been talking about?" However not long after the wind started to pick up and the man spoke once more, this time around Boreas was a bit more certain that this person was not a Witch but instead a player who was wanting to extend their help, quickly as he could still holding onto the tome, he sent a party request to the man that had offered his help and said out to him "I m

It didn't take Boreas too long before reaching the Forest of Memories, if his own memory served him correctly, there isn't too much threatening in the forest so the rumor seemed a bit... odd. However, Boreas didn't mind the peace and quiet as he walked around and investigated the area, with his new rapier at his side and wearing his usual attire he walked around looking for anything that could be the supposed Tome from the rumor that he heard. Eventually he strolled into the area in question where the book was located and a visitor not known by Boreas, he took a moment to scan the area however

"-Did you hear about the supposed Witch that curses this floor?" A phrase that caught Boreas' attention when he strolled the 22nd floor looking for a location for him to set up shop, stopping in his tracks he looked over to the two people having a conversation. "A witch? Here? What would she be doing here?" the man responded to their friend. "Bro its real! I heard about it through someone that deep into the Forest of Memories here there is a Witch that has a castle! But you have to find a hidden tome to be even be able to see it!" they replied. "Sounds like some myth to me, were you

Boreas bows once more "Thank you miss, I appreciate your time and craft they look very good. I will remember you if you stop my store in the future." and left equipping his newly purchased trinkets finally ready to take on more tasks and enemies. Boreas Recieves:

Receiving the Rapier, Boreas with a slight smile bowed with a hand on his chest "Boreas, at your service miss." after a moment he opened his menu's and put forward a friend request to the newly met blacksmith "This should make the process easier, while I should be opening up soon it will take me a bit to have good enough songs to sell, I can send you a message once I have everything in order." Boreas Recieves:

Boreas smiled slightly and bowed "Its a pleasure to meet you Ren, Boreas at your service." After only a bit of waiting he returned a smile when the blacksmith returned with the blade that he had requested and said with one more bow "I thank you Sir Ren, I am sure it will, I have been working with very subpar and old equipment so I greatly appreciate it. I shall return if I need more assistance." then after sharing his appreciation made his leave. Boreas Recieves: Andrius' Fang | T1 Perfect Weapon (Rapier) | ACC III A azure blue and silver rapier with a wind aesthetic to the blade

Boreas after picking up a few things updating his equipment, he needed just a few more things which brought him to Floor 5, another blacksmith he had heard about in passing. Eventually he found his way to "Forged by the Sun" and entered the building, after a bit looking at his surroundings he placed a hand on his chest and with a slight bow "Excuse me, I am looking for someone to complete a custom weapon for me, I can pay with Col, however I will say I can offer my services in terms of boss assistance or I am an upcoming musician I can very much remember you and offer a few songs for free once

Entering the store, Boreas looked around hearing the tune of a Rock song, admiring the environment of the rustic design of the owner's store. While Rock was not Boreas' preference when it comes to music, Boreas still appreciated that music even in this game is still appreciated. After finishing a wicked sweet guitar solo, the owner of the store rakes his hand through his hair and looked upon Boreas. "Hey there young'un, you here for the request to be a performer?" "Indeed I am." Boreas replied placing his hand on his chest and bowing before the store owner. "Pah! No need to be so pol

"How long has it been since you've all been severed from our reality?" is a question that pondered into Boreas' head for countless weeks and months, ever since the fall of his friends and comrades it had only been the thing he had been thinking about ever since. Lately however, he had found a new found determination and get himself back into gear and hopefully join the Frontlines with time. However, first he thought it would be helpful if he could provide something to the table outside of his current level and skill set. Walking around the streets of different floors to get himself more equi

Returning back to floor one, Boreas was still in a desperate need on an update on his equipment since it had been quite a time since he had last picked up any items to equip. Eventually Boreas strolled his way to a location he had heard from passing "The Evening Star" and entered, he looked around at the store's environment and what was currently in stock, eventually placing his hand on his chest "Excuse me miss, I am looking for someone to complete this custom order that I have. I do have payment in Materials, however can pay in Col if that is your preference. I'd greatly appreciate your assi
