[SP-F1] A Nice, Chaotic Stroll <<COMPLETE>>

[Dante Kurosaki 0]

 

The Good Luck Lounge is one of my favorite places to get a nice drink and relax. A favorite beverage of mine is the classic root beer, which not only leaves a sweet aftertaste in your mouth, but it cleanses your heart too. 

Besides drinking, many players come to the Good Luck Lounge to socialize, come up with plans of advancing the front lines or whatnot. Some of them are even serious of advancing quickly so they can just go back to reality. But why wasting your life when you can just stay here for eternity? 

You have your own life, epic adventures, delicious meals, you have everything here. I never plan to go back to reality. I just want to stay in Aincrad, slaying monsters, swordplaying or even f**k with people's existence if I feel like it. 

I need more beer.

After I'm done with another glass of beer, I pay up the tab and leave the lounge, eager to go outside the walls of the Starting City.

A nice stroll will be a good pastime for me today. Hell I would even find some monsters and loot if I am lucky.

My starter sword is a Godfred Viking sword, which surprised me when I first receive it. I love Vikings, there is something so fascinating about these Norse people. I love the fact that they just raid countries in order to gain wealth, but I can't deny the fact that they were good traders too. Very good indeed. 

You want jewels? Gold? Slave? Just go have a meeting with the Vikings and they may have all of that stuff. 

While many players often try to find a replacement weapon, I find the sword to be light and easy to use, for now. After all, it is better than having a somewhat weaker weapon, or nothing at all.

My starter armor is just a typical iron front breastplate. See, what confuses me though is the fact that it has some sort of bullet hole at the bottom center. Guns do not exist in Aincrad, and I guess there must be some sort of projectile that acts the same way as a bullet does. 

Either this armor is damaged during the smithing process, or it is a second-hand type, owned by some poor sod that died despite wearing the plate. 

Right now I am exploring the vast grasslands of the first floor. it is mostly inhabited by boars, but there are other places that are inhabited by other monsters. I heard stories of wandering lizardmen around the first floor, and I was stoked. I can already imagine one of them bearing a sword and shield. That would be a decent challenge for a particular area of this floor.

The only question I pondered regarding to these lizards is where would they inhabit. Could be a forest. Could be in a sub dungeon. 

No no, I am not ready for the sub-dungeon yet. I have brass balls to go there, but for now gaining strength is a main priority. 

These grasses sure looks edible for cattle. I wonder if there is some sort of hidden loot among the grass. 

....s**t.

I never thought that a Frenzy Boar is following me while I was monologuing throughout this stroll. I thought of just staring at him and slowly walk away until he leaves me alone. But my fighting spirit rises up and I found myself drawing out my sword.

The boar pretty much take a hint that I want to turn him into a meal of pork, so he quickly charges towards me with his sharp tusks. It's going to be a pain in the ass if I keep getting knocked out by such a puny creature.

Well, I actually miss him. Jeebus, that was one pathetic swing.

Even worse, that boar somewhat tore a pit of my pants with his tusk. At least I didn't get pierced by them. I really need to focus, no time to fool around with this guy.

Again, I still have trouble with hitting the furry pig. I attempted to stab his head as he charges towards me, so I point my sword towards his temple. 

But I guess my survival instincts get the better of me, because I realize how fast the boar is despite its size. I quickly jump to the side and the boar steer around, snorting as it rubs one of its hooves on the grass.

It would have been better if I have a shield, because I like shields. But I obviously need money or luck in looting. 

For now, I just need to be evasive. So I stand in my battle stance, preparing to slash the boar. Deep breaths. Focus

Here he comes again!

That's one hell of a win-win situation. As soon as the boar gets closer, I bring my sword down to its eyes, but somewhere the blade only manages to make a swift cut on the shoulder.

Meanwhile, the boar's strikes his tusk to the right, hitting the right side of my torso. If I haven't wore my breastplate today, I would have taken some damage there. The armor did a pretty good job at absorbing the damage. Thank you, Aincrad.

Hmph, look at the way it snort. It's pretty angry that it has to face a player who determines to win. That's right, I want to win. And even if it isn't fair and square, especially in duels, I still want to win. 

This time, I don't need to wait for the boar to charge. I do the job instead. The boar looks surprised since it quickly hold up its tusks towards my direction in two seconds.

I NEVER HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CARVE UP SOME BACON!!!

Yeah, that's right! Squeal all you want, piggy! WEEE!!!

Ahem, I mean, so yeah. I make a quick thrust towards the eyes, and presto, the blade pierces one of them. The boar is squealing madly, backing away from me.

I am impressed at the fact that he doesn't want to retreat, instead he still wants to finish the fight. He swings his tusk around like Leatherface swinging his chainsaw madly at the end of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I don't want to rush towards him as there might be a risk of getting hit by those wild swinging tusks. I wait and wait until his back is finally facing me.

Now in Dark Souls, you have the chance to stab an armored boar in the anus. Well I'm about to do the same, because this will be a groundbreaking finishing move in Aincrad.

Slowly, I walk towards the boar as he is huffing due to exhaustion.

If there is a speaker installed somewhere in this area, Hallelujah would have been played by the time I stick the blade right into the boar s**thole. As quickly as I withdraw my sword, he gives out a brief, loud squeal before collapsing to the ground, then disintegrates in Aincrad style.

I was laughing with joy as I couldn't believe that my final blow actually worked. Sadly, mobs like boars won't drop any loot.

I continued walking around the grasslands, and while I do that, I clean my sword's with a small oasis I found nearby.

The oasis's water is really cool, and I ended up drinking some of its water. So nourishing! 

It tastes a little sweet, but it doesn't matter, as long as it can quench my thirst easily. Now that I'm satisfied--

...wait a second. Why would be an oasis exist in a grassland? It should be in a desert right?

Oh for crying out loud.

As if drinking from an oddly-placed oasis isn't enough, a monster slime had made the waters its home. It slowly comes out of the water, protruding two pairs of tentacles as its yellow eyes pop out from the depths of its slimy depths.

Immediately, I was disgusted at the thought of this water being mixed with the slime's filth. F**k, get it out of my mouth! Jeebus!

No sooner after I turned around to face the slime, it is already advancing towards me. What am you doing?! Draw your sword!

There we go! In a split second after drawing my sword I already severed two of its tentacles, backing away as the dismemberment doesn't stop it from advancing.

This time, I gotta aim for the eyes. I make a quick swift across them, hoping for a successful hit.

Those eyes pop out like goddamn pimples as they were sliced open. I'm glad that I avoided the liquid, or it would spray in my f**king face.

Just one more hit and...oh, nevermind. That thing's already erecting its tentacles, trying to grab me. No way I would be your hentai victim, you cumsplash. 

Charging my sword like a lance, I run forward towards the monster's abdomen. Earlier, I briefly saw its heart pumping rapidly. It can be viewed through the transparent body of the slime. I think that would make a perfect weak point to that blue semen.

My blade easily goes through the slimy body and pierces the beating heart, which quickly died down as the slime melts down like ice cream.

It is an easy fight, but at least I learnt how to spot oddities in an area, like that oasis. 

Continuing to stroll, I plan to go to the woods and fortunately, I can see the entrance ahead of me.

There are remnants of plate armor lying at the entrance, and it is either belonged to a player or an enemy. Immediately I thought of lizardmen, and I was grinning. 

To be honest, the woods really spooked me out. So far I don't see anything else there. I better move on with my sword drawn.

Have you ever heard of Hatsune Miku? 

Although she is virtual, she is of my most favorite idol in my entire life. Many of her music are phenomenal, and her songs always bring me in a very good mood. Take Starduster for example. The instruments are so nostalgic and full of melancholy, and the chorus really hits me in the heart. It is like a well-fitted conclusion to her glory performances, and a message to the people that she has served her purpose for the day. 

Her English-language song, simply titled 'Miku', is also a masterpiece. In the song, Miku discusses about herself and her status as a top-tier idol. She also stated that without her fans, or her creators, she would be nothing but a program with no personality, and no characterization. I think she wants us to be thankful that we developed personalities for her, and she did her job very well. Thank you, Miku san. I always love you.

I like to think Miku as the queen of music, because to me, there aren't many songs that aren't desirable to listen. In fact, I remember my phone's music folder being almost full due to the large presence of her songs. 

Oh look. I think I see an abandoned hut at eleven o clock. Let's have a look.

[Dante Kurosaki 0]

The hut is very decrepit in terms of condition and the only things that are present in the hut is a bed, some barrels, and shelves full of random stuff. I'm gonna search the barrels, there are about four of them. Hopefully they have something useful, though I do not expect Col.

As expected, the first barrel contain nothing but spider webs. Part of me glad that there aren't any tarantulas or house centipedes. These things give me the jeebies, and I would demolish this goddamn place if I see one. 

I think I heard footsteps and some groaning, but it's probably my imagination. What am I scared of? There is no such thing as ghosts.

Moving on to the second barrel..

Again, nothing can be found in the second barrel. While I look around to see if there are any threats in the hut, let me tell you something about ghosts.

Ghosts are not real, ok? It's all in your head. Anyone who claims that they exist are either maniacs or lying pieces of s**t. I have been to haunted areas in Japan, there aint s**t there.

I even spent a night in Suicide Forest, yet there was nothing unusual going on.

If you believe in ghosts, you really need to get your head out of your ass. DO YOU UNDERSTAAAANDU?!

...no, I dont see any threats in the huts. Well, I think I did hear the footsteps, but as quickly as they appeared, they disappeared. 

Onwards to the third barrel...

Well, well, what have we got here?

There's an iron ingot lying at the bottom of the barrel. I never thought to be a blacksmith myself, but I take it anyway. Maybe I can use it to trade with other players that manages their own shops.

Keeping the ingot into my inventory, I move on to the last barrel. There are two possible options, either it contains no loot but has a hazard, or it is the opposite.

Let's hope for the latter. Slowly, I lift the lid of the barrel, and peek inside.

[Dante Kurosaki 0]

 

There's a motherf**king snake in the barrel, and it is trying to jump at my nose! What a goddamn jumpscare!

Dante: HP 20/20

Snake: HP 0/3

Immediately I shut off the barrel as it hits the lid with its face after leaping up. I get berserk when I slash the barrel to pieces in an attempt to get rid of one single pest. To my relieve, it is dead, being chopped up to pieces.

I took a closer look at the snake. The only feature that is different from normal snakes is the face. It looks like a mix of a goblin and a bat, and it has a big pair of fangs, which I assume to be likely venomous. 

I can't forget the fact that it has protruding 'thorns' on its back, which could be an excellent defensive mechanism in its standards.

I'm done examining this otherwise weird reptile, so I headed out. This is where I wish I was quieter a few minutes ago.

No sooner after I step out of the house, a menacing figure is standing behind me. Well, guess I have no choice but to fight.

If you want to fight something that is twice as strong as a Frenzy Boar, you can dive into the forest and find a rhinoceros if you are lucky.

Although he isn't really thick to slash your weapon against, this guy can a little hard to evade from due to its speed and its sharp, singular horn. (Thus, a +2 DMG is applicable for critical rolls. For instance, a critical roll of 9 would result in 4 DMG = 1 base DMG + 1 Critical DMG + 2 DMG enhance).

Now this is the first enemy I wont underestimate. Cautiously I stand in my battle stance, the rhino snorts angrily as it charges its horns towards me like a lance.

Bad move. The rhino is quick enough to hit my breastplate with his horn. Even though my armor doesn't break from the impact, I am horrified at the fact that the horn still retains its sharpness. 

This horn must have some sort of supernatural properties to keep its condition stable, or maybe the fatf**k ate something that somehow enhances its weapon's durability.

I jump back as my foot brushes itself against the soil, gritting my teeth as I want to disable this monster as fast as possible. 

"Come and get it," I muttered, my sword moves in a way that seems taunting to the rhino, who is already groaning like a whale as it blasts off for another charge.

I need a new strategy.

The moment his horn is closing towards my chest, I sidestepped swiftly, hoping that he, at the very least, barely miss my attack. If it costs part of my breastplate's durability, so be it.

But presto to the rhino, it could read my next move and swings his horn upward to the right, piercing my armor again. 

At this point I realize that if I don't attack soon, the rhino would focus on weakening my starter armor until it breaks. 

So I run around the creature, who is now turning to face me quickly. There is only one way to injure such a mammal, backstab in the anus!

Well f**k that guy and everything else!

He is about to do this rear kick that horses do if someone touches their asses, and I saw that! I saw that coming!

I sidestepped immediately and couldn't dare to strike my sword at its side, as I was afraid that he might have more tricks up his horn. 

The rhino is groaning a little louder, its nostrils let out a blow of steam or some s**t. 

..I think i have another plan, but this time I'm the one charging first! Yelling like a maniac, I run towards the creature as it holds up its horn in self defense, ready to attempt to pierce my face.

"Argh! My head! Not in my head, you piece of s**t!"

My forehead is slightly bleeding from the damage received by the tip of the horn, I am really sick of the rhino adapting his moves every now and then.

Something inside is awakening me, my sanity is slowly falling out. My teeth is gritting and rubbing themselves together, my eyes stare menacingly at the rhino as violent thoughts fill my mind. I want to chop up this f**ker and cut out his brains. Like the rhino, I initiate 'berserk mode' with my sword swinging violently. The rhino is rather taken aback by the sudden change of my well-being. Regardless, it lets out its whale-like groan as it charges towards me with its head pointing downwards.

I can hear it snorting repetitively. Like me, it wants to end his opponent as quick as possible.
