He had managed to doge yet another attack. He dashed in, going for a strike but missed horribly, punching a tree instead of hitting the wolf. He swore loudly, jumping back. He had missed!!! That wasn't good, considering this wolf was almost as strong as him!!! He couldn't afford to miss hitting this useless bugger!!!! Calm down Sky, you are going to be fine. Just gotta kill this dam thing.... He took a deep breath, shaping out against it, he was ready to kill yet another of the demons that inhabbited this land. He was going to save everyone he could!!! And right now, that started with himself!!! He was going to win... He always did win, and that wasn't about to change!!! Edited May 12, 2017 by Stryder Link to post Share on other sites
Eatos 0 Posted May 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Eatos couldn't believe what she was looking at. She came down to the first floor, mostly out of boredom. While it was the 4th floor that was her home, her most beloved area. She knew that Stryder enjoyed hunting on the first, so she went to go find him. She had teleported it down to the first floor and was looking around. She had gotten distracted and lost within the town of beginners, looting at various items as well as running into several dead ends before escaping onto the open plains of the first floors non-safe zones. During her search, she managed to find several ores and mined them. She grinned, this trip had been worthwhile now, even if she failed to find Stryder. However, she did. She ran into her friend...In ANOTHER fight. She let out a loud sigh, could he ever NOT get into fights with wild animals? It seemed to be wherever he went, he left a trail of animal corpses in his wake. Every time, without fail. It was getting on her nerve how consistently it was happening. "You know Stryder, just once, i'd like to hunt you down and NOT find you in a fight!" She yelled at him as she calmly walked up towards him, Rapier still hanging on her belt, not even drawn. ------------------ 84358 Loot: 16 (+2LD) = 18 <Material Successfully Found> <Gatherer Activated> Materials Gathered: Eatos - 4 Link to post Share on other sites

He knew the voice, though he didn't turn and pay attention to it, he was in a fight. To make sure he could respond, he quickly dashed in, using his five Swords sword art, delivering jabs into the wolfs pressure points, stunning it. He turned around, looking over at her. "Heh... Nice to see you too, sorry for always being in a fight, but iv been low on Col and Materials, and hunting mobs is an easy way to get both" He replies, looking over at the stunned wolf. He wanted to go kill it now, beg it dropped either perfect armor or some stupid Materials. He wanted it!!! If he managed to get it, he could finally get back to crafting. He hadn't had a chance to do that in awhile... He was falling behind his quota. He didn't know about her skill yet, well, not so much knew. He just hoped he was going to gt lucky with these kills.

Eatos 0 Posted May 13, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 13, 2017 The girl sighed. Stryder was seemingly some combat addict, whenever she got involved with him, he always charged head-long into a fight with, his bare fists. She shrugged it off as just things that Stryder does, or, just men in general. It didn't surprise her too much, she'd always been a slight cynic when it came to males, even more so when it came to males online. "It's always fighting with you...In a game where one wrong fight could kill you, don't you find the need to be careful?" Part of her really wondered why she was asking the question. She knew that it was already in the boys nature to place himself in danger. He'd stood in front of her in several fights, and noticed that his build, that being the skills he was acquiring, meant he was more focused on fighting. Then again, if everyone played SAO like her, the game would simply never end. At least this way, with people brave enough to fight that she could support with her own skills, it very well might end. People like Stryder were needed, people willing to put themselves second, and escape first. In a way, she pitied them, and in another way, she was envious of them. When...No, If they ever escaped SAO, they would be the players branded as Heros for trying to escape, while players like her simply watched from the sidelines. Link to post Share on other sites

Eatos was the first player he had really become friends with. She was his best friend at the moment, and the fact she was getting at him meant she cared if he died. "I'm careful, why do you think i'm only fighting one this time? Besides, i don't die that easily" He said, giving a thumbs up. He knew why she was worried, she was scared of fighting. There was a reason that whenever they had been in combat he had stood in her way. He wans't about to let someone so scared of fighting be in the front lines. Though she was also a decent fighter, which he had learnt in their last quest together. The Wolf was trying to get up, and sky acted quick. He dashed in, doing a full three sixty before powerkicking the wolf towards Eatos, it exploding into particles as it flew. He watched as he got some col and a Material.

Eatos 0 Posted May 13, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Well, it was indeed true. Wherever he, Stryder, walked, death followed in his wake. Although, it was just monsters, or better known, as Mobs, was it really that bad? As far as she was aware, the monsters are infinite. Meaning that, even if they did slay one, 'it' would generate itself once again. So the wolf that had just become a victim of Stryder, would spawn once again. So perhaps it was not as bad as she had first thought it.. "I still feel you are being needlessly reckless in this Stryder. There are far easier ways to gather Col and crafting materials than batting endless streams of monsters" As a self-labelled Utility Player, Eatos had established her skills and talents away from combat and had an emphasis on gathering and survival. Regeneration, along with the ability to gather more materials than would normally be necessary, meant that in a straight up fight, she was at a distinct Disadvantage, however, her ability to craft and construct was much better than an Assault focused player, like Stryder. She equipped her pickaxe, spinning in around in her hand and swinging it at the ground. However, nothing seemed to come of it. She pouted, no fair. Dirt didn't deserve to be here... ------ 84413 Loot: 7 (+2LD) = 9 <No Materials Found> Link to post Share on other sites
Stryder 0 Posted May 13, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted May 13, 2017 "Not for me, i don't have the luck you do to find multiple materials, or enough customers bringing in Col to actually do stuff. This is a way to do both" He said, smiling. It was a simple job in his mind, fighting low level monsters like this was no issue to him. Sure, they were about his level, but they weren't hard for him to kill. He managed to do it on a daily basis and so far hadn't even lost more then forty HP. He was pretty confident in his fighting abilities.... For now. "Its not to reckless, you always manage to find me so if something happens i have you and your healing to hide behind" He said, trying to make a little joke. He was honestly jealous that she could regen a heap of HP each time she got hit, he knew he would get there to, but for now.... It was going to take awhile to get to, as his first priority was maxing out his damage output so that he could end fights as soon as they started so he wouldn't NEED to heal much damage. He looked around, seeing a bit of leather laying on the ground, which he picked up. ID# 84421 results: Loot: 19 + 1 Mat Link to post Share on other sites
Eatos 0 Posted May 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hide behind her?! It took the blacksmith many moments for her to comprehend that Stryder was making a joke and was to not be taken seriously. Although, it did sorta make sense. Against enemies with low damage, with her equipment, she'd actually be able to survive the hits while Stryder dished them out. However, despite the logic within that assessment, she'd rather not put herself in any form of unneeded risk. While her regeneration meant that she was more than capable of taking up damage, didn't mean she Liked being on the front lines of battle. It was why she often was with other people when she went somewhere, because she was afraid of getting killed. Although, it was a very logical fear in her honest opinion. "Luck finding multiple materials?" She asked as she frowned at the boy "It isn't luck Stryder. I unlocked a skill, Gatherer. Means that I'm able to acquire 4 materials instead of 1, so it means I don't have to fight these mobs" As the blacksmith spoke, she withdrew her pickaxe and spun it around in her hand, before swinging it into what she thought minerials lay. After her swing, her inventory showed 4 materials being added. She grinned, perfect. 4 more to the count. -------- Roll: 84465 Loot: 14 (+2LD) = 16 <Materials Found> - <Gatherer Skill Activates> Materials Found: 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Stryder 0 Posted May 15, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted May 15, 2017 A skill... Sounds about right. Of course she would have one, he knew about it though, having spent enough time looking around the game's menu to know quite a lot about the skill system. He sighed, looking over at the blacksmith, before getting an idea. "Hey Eatos, how about a little deal. I'l hunt mobs and i'l give you all the loot i get in exchange for you giving me the Materials you gather. How does that sound?" He said, smiling as he looked at what he had already gotten to see if he had a starting bargain. He had gotten a material, so he decided to not put that out there... But he had gotten three hundred and sixty Col, and since he got that with each kill, it would go up a lot!!! "Right now i'v got 360 Col to offer, but that goes up with each kill. How does that sound?" He said, hoping he could tempt her with a whole lot of col. He looked at his energy bar, it being fully restored, meaning he could fight again in a few minutes, and maybe start delivering on this deal he was trying to sell. Full energy restored.

Eatos 0 Posted May 18, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The blacksmith paused, contemplating the deal that Stryder had put forwards. If she was honest, it was beneficial for her in multiple ways. It was just like a standard business deal, with the trade being she'd be giving him Materials, in exchange for him giving her col and loot. Both of those items were uncommon for her to get from monsters, mostly because she didn't fight them. Her primary source income was players purchasing her wares, which wasn't happening much these days. With Stryder offering her col and items for materials, well, it seemed like a good enough trade in her benefit. "Well, you got yourself a deal. That benefits me greatly" She wouldn't lie and say it didn't, after all, money meant freedom to whatever she wanted to do, and that was what she needed in life! Armed with her pickaxe, she took another swing at the grounf, but nothing came of it. Shame, but she'd get something, eventually. Would just take its damn sweet time was all. But that was something she had plenty of, time. Her store was slow, and she had no contractual obligations to be open. Although, that being said, at some point she wanted to sit down and sing to herself at Frostbike lake. She hadn't done it in a while, and felt the desire to do so. -------------- Roll: 84589 Loot: 5 (+2LD) = 7 <No Material Gathered> Materials Found: 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Normally, he didn't profit much of anything. He wasn't actually doing much for his job, money wise, he didn't actually charge that much. But she was able to get lots of materials, and it was a useful skill as he was going to be able to use it to get as many materials as he could. He wondered how many he would be able to get from here. He looked over, seeing a.... Well looked like massive wolf. He sighed, running over to fight it. He bolted in as fast as he could, dashing in to get some col and loot for his deal with Eatos, and as he got close, he heard something behind him, he quickly back-stepped, doging as a second massive wolf leaped right past him, but before he could actually react the first wolf leapt at him, plunging its fangs into Sky's side, dropping his HP by 20. He grabbed its jaw, pulling its teeth out. He was lucky that pain didn't exist here. He threw the wolf off, before doing his tornado kick, spinning around before powerkicking the wolves across the face at once, sending them flying across the field. Link to post Share on other sites
Eatos 0 Posted May 21, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Eatos looked up, spotting Stryder throwing himself into battle once again. She knew it was Probably safe for him, but that didn't mean she had to agree with it. She knew the reality, that players like him would be the ones who cleared the game and escaped first. Assault Players like him were an absolute necessity to survival, without them, Utility players like herself simply would fail, and Survivors, well, they were doomed. After all, it wasn't like anyone asked to be trapped in SAO. Although, she was certain that while it wasn't their intention, some people were enjoying it far too much. But maybe, that was circumstance. It was too late to protest it, but perhaps embracing is the only thing they can do. As she watched Stryder fight, she went along her own battle, although, it was far less dangerous. Swinging her pickaxe, she tried to gather up some materials, but came up fruitless. She let out a sigh, fidgetting with the Rapier on her side. She knew Stryder could handle it, so why was she worried? ----------- Roll: 84805 Loot: 11 (+2CD) = 13 <No Materials Found> Materials Gathered: 4 84 Link to post Share on other sites

He smiled as he got two warhammers, though he decided to keep them, having an idea that he might be able to use them for someone, and that Eatos had no use for them.

Eatos 0 Posted June 8, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The blacksmith watched as Stryder wiped the absolute floor with both wolves, neither one of them stood a chance, mostly because of the leveling system. Someone who had a high level would have high base health, as well as strong equipment and skills. Matching that up against a low level monster, well, it was to be expected that Stryder would be victorious against the wolves. Even with all her protesting him doing it. That was his style of play, and nothing she ever said would prevent it. Therefore, the only thing she could do was prepare. She knew the skills she wanted soon, she just needed the SP to unlock it, then she could start helping players like Stryder when they threw themselves into battle recklessly, like he ALWAYS does... The girl took another swing with her pickaxe, but, once again, failed to come up with anything. She let out a frustrated groan, why was there nothing here? Did Stryder make it a habit of taking her to places with nothing but dirt for her to mine at? Or did the game just not like her that much? ----------- Roll: 85735 Loot: 4 (+2LD) = 6 <No Materials Found> Materials: 4 ------------ Acquired: +720 Col Link to post Share on other sites
Stryder 0 Posted June 8, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Sky didn't do much else but fall down, slouching on the ground. He didn't want to do much else anymore, he had done quite a lot of fighting in this time, and he had gotten a little bit of col, but he wanted more mats. He started searching... only to find nothing at all. He wished that he had more luck then he did have, but he once again, GOT NOTHING out of the ground. He found no mat, no col, no food, nothing. He wished he was luckier when it came to searching. He sighed, before looking at Eatos, who had failed to find anything but dirt. He just let it roll, deciding just to not care at all. He wisehd that he had more to talk about....... But he didn't. He didn't normally find it hard to do, talking to Eatos, but this time it was, he didn't know what to do at all!!!

Eatos 0 Posted June 10, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 10, 2017 The girl took a break from her dirt mining, spotting Stryder. Who was he? Really. What was his real name, where did he live, what was his life like and what decisions lead him to be trapped within this hell of a life? She'd wondered it several times, he was one of the players she had the most interaction with within the guild, yet she knew so little about him, about everyone in the guild. But the standard rule of the internet forbid her from asking, but now, was that rule still applicable? She didn't know, SAO had changed everything. She was here, but she wasn't. It made so much sense, yet it didn't. So much of SAO made sense, but didn't. And that she truly hated. Not understanding something, the why, the how. She needed to know, to learn. Would she really meet people in this death game, or just be another face? She took another swing, but when she spotted dirt, she kicked the ground and swung her pickaxe out of anger, nearly hitting Stryder with it as it buried itself into the ground near him while the girl let out a barrage of insults about how she was going to 'Find the person who made the dirt and suffocate them with it' ----------------- Roll: 85837 Loot: 1 (+2LD) = <No Materials Found> Materials Gathered: 4 720 COL Link to post Share on other sites

Eatos 0 Posted June 15, 2017 #18 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Eventually the girl calmed herself down and retrieved her pickaxe from where it had landed. She was just getting frustrated, after all, she'd been so successful in gathering up what she needed in other places, mostly notable being on her home floor where she had managed to grab a huge haul. Compared to this floor, well, it basically sumed up why part of her wanted to go home right about now. After successfully rearming herself, she went for another swing to try and gatherer something, anything! She slammed it down hard, only to get more dirt! She didn't even swear once, she just dropped her pickaxe in a state of defeat. This game truly hated her, what did she do in order to suffer like this?! What evil misdead had she committed to be punished by the evil hand of dirt! Dirt was all she could see, all she could hack into, and dirt was driving her sanity into the ground, with the dart. -------- Roll: 85950 Loot: 5 (+2LD) = 7 <No Materials Gathered> T1 Materials: 4 Col: 720 Link to post Share on other sites
Stryder 0 Posted July 14, 2017 Author #19 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Sky could feel that there was tension between them. Despite them being friends, they had barely talked amogst themselves.... It was like neither of them knew the other was here. He didn't know how to fix that, but it was getting to sundown and it was time for them to part ways, at least soon it was. He needed to go hunting for Atzo again.... The man who had vanished. He hoped that he would find him soon, and when he did he knew that he would be better. "Hey Eatos, im gonna head out soon, did you manage to find any?" He asks, hoping his friend had some materials she could spare for him so he could do a few orders he might have. His shop wasn't as popular as he wanted, but.... It still had some work to do, especially with all the people he was trying to help. He needed to do a lot of crafting, and itwas about time he had done it. Link to post Share on other sites
Eatos 0 Posted July 14, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) The girl went for a single last swing, hoping that it would result in something, anything! Other than bloody dirt! She let out a victory cry as she had snagged yet another 4 materials, doubling her loot. Of course, it wasn't her 'loot' per say, but it was something and given that she'd struggled on this stupid floor.... She turned hearing Stryder mention that he was planning on heading back, turning to spot that the sun was indeed starting to head down. She let out a sigh, today hadn't been totally worth it. She'd only gotten 720 col, which was of itself pretty good but her haul should have been better. She opened up a trade, offering all 8 materials she'd managed to gather, although she did appear slightly squeemish "I'm sorry, i wasn't able to get that many, this floor doesn't like me.....I had more success on my home floor..."
