Guest Sly Posted March 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Time has progressed through this game... and here Sly is... still level 1, and not doing anything of relevance to anyone here in Aincrad. While he has always wanted to be of help to everyone here... he never really knew what he should really do... one day he thought he would be a DPS, the next he would be a tank... but he thinks he found what he truly wanted to be... a scout mostly serving as an alchemist as there is an abundance of them seemingly. He had a plan though, he was going to take the Earning a Living quest and become an alchemist to start making mad bank from them. while he had heard Zandra is the best so far alchemist in the game, she doesn't really charge much for them, seemingly a pretty bold decision... probably why she is incredibly low on stock at the given moment. He chuckled as he roamed the first floor as he looked around for the alchemist shop he could enter at a given date to take on the quest of Earning a Living to become an alchemist.

Guest Sly Posted March 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Eventually he had continued to move forward throughout the roads of the town of beginnings and he had eventually had found the store in which many had spoke of, he had smiled and continued to move forward into the store. "Hello...?" he had spoke out into the store, the smell in the air was bitter, it was a indescribable smell... one that was tolerable but really weird. "The hell's this smell...?" he said as he coughed a bit to himself. "That's the smell of success young one!" an old man had stepped out of the shadows behind sly... well, it looked like that this was going to be the NPC he was shortly going to train under it had seemed. Words were exchanged that felt to be more geared around Aincrad's main story, but he kinda just ignored it kinda, he had a one track mind and all he could remember was that he needed to prove that he was dedicated enough to this job and he needed to get out there and find some materials. It was a way to pass time it had seemed, he took a deep breath and stepped outside of the store to go find some materials. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted March 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Eventually, Sly had made his way throughout the fields of the first floor where Boar's had roamed free... but Sly was not going to be attacking them, nor does he really want to in all honesty... he was in it to actually find materials right now at the given moment. He needed to get that position as alchemist so he could help out everyone in Aincrad... he also knows that he's gonna have to travel to higher floors to get the higher tiered materials, which means he's gonna have to build himself around getting more and more materials, but he's also gonna have to make himself useful when it came to combat... which means he was going to need to get some form of combat skill, but that was for another day. He had spent a couple of minutes looking for any sort of material, however to no avail he had found nothing at the given moment. ----- ID: 79636 - LD: 4+1=5 T1 Materials Found: 0 Edited March 17, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted March 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Minutes had continued to pass as Sly had spent time looking for something, even the tiniest material for him to even use at a later time. He had sighed... this game could be cruel about their mechanics especially finding materials... it had seemed that is the hardest thing out of everything in this game as it takes nearly a hawk's eye just to find one material, and if you are lucky enough to live long enough to get the gatherer skill... 4. But eventually Sly had eventually found something that could be a good ingredient for a potion, he didn't know too much about potion making, as that does not exist in the real world... but it looked like something that he could use or sell off to get some funds. He smiled and placed the material in his inventory before moving forward. ----- ID: 80422 - LD: 20+1=21 T1 Materials Found: 1 Edited March 26, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted March 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Sly had walked down the path in the plains looking out in the scenery in the distance, with a whistle it seemed so unreal that this is actually a game that he is standing, living, and breathing in. It seemed so unreal, but deep inside of Sly... he knew that it was a form of prison almost, he couldn't go home not even if he really wanted to, and heck he doesn't even know if he'll live long enough to see the end of the game. However, it seems it would be possible, however it will take a bit of time and hard work. With a smile he moved forward and looked for any form of materials, he was unsure on what materials for potion making would look like, but he would make pretty good assumptions upon what they look like, like the next material he found, it was a form of flower... but it had an extremely weird scent to it to the point where he felt this had to be a potion making material. ----- ID: 80423 - LD: 17+1=18 T1 Materials Found: 2 Edited March 26, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted March 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) He took a deep breath and coughed as the flowers collectively had smelled pretty bad, he figured to stop picking the flowers as he felt like that if he continued to do so... it would get worse and worse. With a stretch he had placed his hands back into his pockets and continued to walk upon the trail. He had looked around catching the sights of some low leveled players just like Sly either fighting mob's as a group or looking for materials along with him, Sly smirked and continued to walk forward, this didn't really bother Sly at all because he figured that he wasn't the only low level player trying to get a job in this world or just getting up there in levels. Heck, he figured that there would be many of people out there doing the same thing... guess not. ----- ID: 80424 - LD: 2+1=3 T1 Materials Found: 2 Edited March 26, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted March 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Sly continued to look around to the many players... many of them were male, sure there was an occasional female here and there, but it seemed to be weird that theres many males... he chuckled, he could have sworn there was a plentiful amount of females on day one and hour one... but it seems that males were learning how it feels to have a chest. He never understood why males would ever want to know how it feels to have a chest, but he guessed that it would be the only time where they would even touch any cleavage. He chuckled at that thought that came to his mind, enough to the point where he made himself giggle to a laugh. If he had told that to some of the players that actually signed up as a female, he would get punched. But he wouldn't have regretted saying that, it was genuinely funny to him. Sly down the trail had found a patch of herbs that kind of looked potion worthy and started to pick them, placing them into his inventory. ----- ID: 80425 - LD: 16+1=17 T1 Materials Found: 3 Edited March 26, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted March 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Sly had continued to look in the patch of herbs looking for some more materials that he could potentially use... he had no real idea what he could even use in potion making, but he would soon learn he supposed... maybe there's a book in which he could get to learn more about this? He shrugged, he figured that it would take a bunch of combinations to find out it would seem. He didn't discourage the fact that it would take a bunch of combinations to find out what he needed to get certain items... but he was just too lazy to even figure them out in the first place. He took a deep breath as he didn't find anything of use in the patch of herbs and he stood back up from his knees and patted the dirt away. He stretched his arms and with a yawn, he continued to move forward down the path. ----- ID: 80523 - LD: 11+1=12 T1 Materials Found: 3 Edited March 27, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted March 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Placing his hands in his pockets he strolled down the path looking off to see the rather... different scenery in this world... mishaped cliffs, floating islands, and even miniature moons with stars in the sky barely high above the ground. It was a very different sight to see indeed, but he didn't really care in the slightest bit... the whole part of this game was the fantasy aspect and it was all fine and dandy even if he had to deal with it for another year or a couple of years... only if he manages to stay alive to see the end of this game... hell, its been pretty difficult to keep themselves alive for all he knows. Players have been dying left and right... even from other players, Sly couldn't help but feel sick in his stomach thinking about that thought. After a bit of looking around, Sly had found an particularly odd looking flower with an odd scent, he picked it thinking that it would be a good potion making item. ----- ID: 80529 - LD: 17+1=18 T1 Materials Found: 4 Edited March 27, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted March 29, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) The part that Sly doesn't like about this so far is the fact that he doesn't know what items for potions would even be, no book to really tell, nor a general sense of direction about it. The best thing that Sly can do at the moment is guess at this point, look for anything that smells and or look for anything that looks rather peculiar. That seems to be the general consensus for this given situation, taking a man that grew up in the real world and then thrown to see if they know what potion materials are... when it doesn't exist in the real world at all. Sly shook his head and thought that that knowledge would come in due time. Eventually as he continued looking he had found another one of the odd looking flower and he decided to go ahead and just pick it and place it into his inventory along with the other flower. ----- ID: 80786 - LD: 15+1=16 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited March 29, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted March 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) After taking the flower into his inventory he had gotten a smell of the flower and covered his mouth and nose... man did it smell pretty bad, if only he knew if he was doing a good thing instead of picking needless materials used for something else. Regardless if it was just needless materials used for another job, he wouldn't know because he doesn't even know what the hell this stuff could be use for in the real world. Regardless he had looked up and noticed a path of herbs and Sly shrugged, maybe it would be a good place to get some more materials... who knows until he tries. So he had moved over to the patch and began to look... even though he didn't really find anything he wouldn't be beaten so quickly... in all honesty he wants to find at least two or three more before he is satisfied with this trip. ----- ID: 80787 - LD: 5+1=6 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited March 29, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted March 30, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Sly had put some hard work into it... he was determined to find some of the materials he had needed to get in order to get his potion career into place... lord knows that he is going to need all the help that he could get with this sort of thing. The one true thing that he does know about this current situation is that right now getting all the materials the number one priority, then get to crafting. His plan was to get a certain amount of potions crafted for his journey before he would open his store to sell, like he likes to say you gotta help yourself first then to help others. However, as time as progressed as he had look around for some more to find a good herb or a few good ones, he just seems to fail majority of the time to find anything that could be useful. ----- ID: 80788 - LD: 6+1=7 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited March 30, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted April 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Sly had kept working hard on trying to find another gosh darn material for the possible career that he will have in this world... it was rather annoying him that he really couldn't find another material, he was hoping that at least he would find another one so he could make a solid amount of items... he wasn't too sure about crafting potions but he could have sworn that he would need more than one? He wasn't too sure, he doesn't really know how to craft potions and who knows how to make them at all... but regardless he kept moving forward and tried to find another damn material, he sighed. After not finding another material he abandoned the patch he was trying to find another one, and just figured to cut his loses and look else where... there was still time to waste in finding materials. ----- ID: 81027 - LD: 8+1=9 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited April 2, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted April 2, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Sly gotten up from the ground and patted his knees and continued moving forward, there was a lot to see in this world... a lot to fight, and a lot to accomplish... but he Sly is... at level 1... while a lot of players were already ahead of him... man was Sly an idiot, for laying back and waiting for others to beat the game for him. Now, he cannot afford to wait around anymore, he has wasted too much time and he needs to do more, and help out the cause to push them forward. Only then will he find himself out of this game and back in the real world, there was a lot more to do and a lot more to see in the real world rather than this virtual world that would expire at some point, there's only three options we can do: wait for our real life bodies to die, for us to die, or beat the game. In which is very saddening to happen to us, he sighed... he thought a little too hard and didn't find anything. ----- ID: 81029 - LD: 9+1=10 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited April 2, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted April 12, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Sly had looked down the path looking from side to side, seeing the same players going after the monsters that had been around him, thanking god... because he was not wanting to deal with any monsters at the moment due to you know... not having any weapon at all at the moment along with his damage being absolutely terrible. But he's not dealing with any of them which is always a good thing he supposed. But, hes not even here to fight monsters at the given moment, he's only here to find the materials needed for his career that is hopefully upcoming. And thus he had continued with the desire to find these materials, and of course... what else? He spent more and more time not finding a god d*** thing. Figures. But he had thought to himself to not get discouraged, there would be many of opportunities to get more and more materials. ----- ID: 82060 - LD: 6+1=7 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited April 12, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted April 12, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) There was plenty of things to see, and plenty of things to be considered to be... well, materials in this game, and Sly is having a little bit of a struggle to find anything that seems... potion-ish. Sly had known that he should have asked what the materials for potions looks like instead of wildly guessing like this, and even if its not potion materials, it could be used for other things for the players here in Aincrad. What Sly had been thinking of as the late is why in the world would Kayaba trap us all in a game like this? What is the whole point? And why include the fact that if we die here once, that we would die in the real world? Couldn't he have at least gave us a few lives like an actual video game? This seemed to be rather unfair, but he shrugged... maybe theres an actual point to all this or this could be a test to humanity as a sort. Who knows at this point, you're guess is as good as Sly's. ----- ID: 82061 - LD: 10+1=11 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited April 12, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted April 13, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Sly had looked down to his feet and then to his hands only to turn them to realize that once more he was in a video game, which seems very much surreal and to be honest, this makes no sense scientifically. Somehow, he doesn't believe that his brain was connected to an actual server... but he assumed that anything could be possible with enough time and effort. That being said he could connect that to finding materials somehow, but the effort he put into that honestly, is very much too much work for him to do in all honesty. He shrugged, at the moment all he needs to do is to is find the materials and get the hell moving onto making potions and such for the frontliners... hopefully he could find a method that works out. However, at the moment he keeps finding nothing, nothing at all, which in all honesty p***es Sly off to no end. ----- ID: 82137 - LD: 7+1=8 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited April 13, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted April 13, 2017 #18 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Again as time had continued to pass by Sly had gotten a little more aggravated that he consistently cannot find another material to save his life. "God damn, I cannot find another simple ingredient? This is BS." he pouted as he continued around the trail, he was making a huge circle out from the town only to go back into town eventually, however he was hoping to come back with a plethora of materials to use... however, the game had been proving to him otherwise. With a sigh, he wouldn't be so defeated so quickly, if he could find just one more material, he would be pleased and would be able to craft without problems as he would start his new career. There was a little bit of time left so hopefully he could find another material with ease... if not, then well screw it all, he can just come back to get some at a later day. ----- ID: 82138 - LD: 2+1=3 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited April 13, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted April 13, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Well, he couldn't just stand there and plan these things through, he must continue pressing forward and finish off what he had started, the last thing he needs is to be caught in the middle of the night still stuck at level one. He shook his head and looked over from side to side through his glasses only to continue to find absolutely nothing. He took a deep breath before let out a continuous sound that sounds like "Pffffff-" until he let out his anger and yelled out "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu- this is so freaking hard, I did not sign up for this if it was going to be extremely hard like this. Jesus christ." he shook his head, he only had a little time left, and he could only have time to find one more material at this rate... great, he might actually come back with an odd number of materials to display. ----- ID: 82142 - LD: 12+1=13 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited April 13, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sly Posted April 13, 2017 #20 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) And as time had passed, what else? He had found absolutely nothing else, he sighed out with a growl as he looked up to the setting sun as he moved forward to the Town of Beginnings "Great, just perfect, not another one to be found, this is juuuust perfect." he shook his head just for a moment as he had said out "This is just perfect, F*** this man." he said as he continued forward throughout the town, now he must begin the guessing game on where the hell was the alchemist in the first place, he had quite a terrible memory, but he never really thought it was this entirely bad... apparently that it is. Sucks to be him at the moment it had seemed, but without a second guess, he would find the alchemist once more and finish this quest off to become one. ----- ID: 82143 - LD: 3+1=4 T1 Materials Found: 5 Edited April 13, 2017 by Sly Link to post Share on other sites
