"AAAAAAAA!!!" Ichi cried out as he viciously kicked a right hand man to the face, breaking both bones and flesh inwardly like a giant boulder as the metallic surface of his shoe made contact with the nose. Immediately, the man died, living only the leader of a small loan company alive. The bearded man was shaking vigorously as he looked at the shoe, no footwear like that ever existed here in Japan, or any other parts of the world. The shoe served nothing more than a weapon, only to be wielded by an expert with killer legs.

Out of desperation, the guy quickly pulled out his Desert Eagle, but before he can even aim, Ichi had already rushed forwards and raised his right leg as high as possible. The man gasped as he looked at the blade fixed at the heel of his right shoe, muttering, "W..what the hell...are those..."

No sooner after the word "those" were muttered, his face were split in half, blood and brain matter gushing out violently...followed by Ichi's grin...and then...erm...then...

Well, now Ichi is awake from his daydreaming, startled by some air horn sounded by a noisy adventurer. He looks around to see that he is still at the center of the city, standing like a statue. He must had stood there like a stoner for half an hour or so, because few players were staring at him. 

At least he didn't move around like a sleepwalker throughout his flashback...moving on, he now thinks that he is ready to kill some mobs. Task is simple. Kill a few boars or insects, and he'll level up in a jiffy. He looks around as he wonders if there is anybody he would ask to help him, since he is a little anxious about fighting monsters instead of humans.

Telrenya nervously twisted a lock of blonde hair around her finger. Several times she would loop around before pulling down and letting it straighten out, only to begin the motion once again. In her other hand the woman held a worn-looking piece of paper that she was thoroughly studying. The rapier-wielder stood in the Town of Beginnings, just east of the shopping district and not quite in the middle of the main plaza. A troubled look rested on her face as she studied the details of the quest that were written out in front of her for at least the fifth time. Killing six monsters... Even if she was careful and spaced them out, she'd never done that much on her own before.

A sigh escaped the blonde, and she finally tore her eyes away from the flyer in her hand to survey the crowds around her. Was today going to be another day of asking others for help? Her heart slowly sank, already discouraged by the thought. 'How much longer before I can do something on my own...?' She wondered. It wasn't that she disliked partying with other players per se, but it felt like her dependence on strangers was weighing down on her. A troubled expression rested on her features as she filled her lungs with air. Doing her best to start with a friendly approach, Telrenya proceeded to approach any players that looked willing to hear her out.

Looking around the crowded center of the large plaza, Ichi shifts his attention towards a nervous blonde who is twisting her hair anxiously. Maybe he can ask you to help him kill some monsters today. The only thing he needs to do is to overcome at least a fraction of his nervousness, and his request would go on like a smooth breeze. Easy eh?

He slowly steps forward to your direction, and only stops as he is close to you. Well, not too close, but close enough to see you and your outfit clearly. Some sort of dress, with what look like slim pauldrons above the sleeves of your dress. Ichi questions himself about its usefulness in battle. Increasing your agility? Maybe, if it has enhancements. Protecting from damage? Less likely, unless you are wearing padding or chainmail underneath that dress.

He clears his throat and looks at you as he nervously, but calmly asks, "Hello there, d..do you want to h..help me kill some boars outside? I really want to level up today so...heheh.."

Telrenya's search for a party member had only just begun when another presence made itself known. A player with dark hair grabbed her attention. He stuttered a bit, and seemed a bit nervous to approach her, but Telrenya wore a smile at his request nonetheless. "Oh, sure!" Perhaps it wasn't the most wise thing to blindly accept a request from a stranger, but Telrenya had faced her fair share of cautious rejection since beginning the game. If her assumption was right, the man seemed to be wearing basic equipment, leading her to wonder about his level and other game-related pieces of information. 'Well, as long as he's willing to help,' She dismissed the thought of being intrusive and simply glanced back down to the flyer in her right hand.

"There's a quest here to kill some monsters outside of the city. Want to do it with me?" She asked. After hearing his response, the blonde would introduce herself with a small bow. "I'm Telrenya, by the way. You can call me Tel if it's a bit much." She added, recalling the times when others seemed to prefer a nickname for her.

"Telrenya...I see," He says as he nods in response to acknowledging your name, and bows back towards you before he introduces himself too. Wouldn't hurt to reveal his full name to you, unless you are a shady type.

"I'm Ichi Kakihara by the way. You can call me Ichi," he says with a smile, feeling confidence within himself since he is happy to find a partner for his first quest. He notices your rapier strapped around your hips, and thinks that you may have something to do with speedy skills, which he hopes that it can speed up the progress. With intros aside, he is now ready to proceed.

"Let's get out of here and kill some boars before the end of the day," he suggests as he straps his starter sword around his waist before donning his first breastplate. It aint much, but at least it can withstand a few blows here and there.

"Nice to meet you!" She said with a persistent smile. Though a bit naive when one stops to consider they are trapped in a death game, the woman had already made the decision that Ichi was a nice person. He seemed friendly, and asking her for help reminded her of the countless times that she had approached strangers herself for a quest or some other objective that she was too nervous to take on by herself.

"Right, no point wasting time here." She nodded at the player's enthusiasm. Telrenya started off in the direction of the closest city gate, her memory easily recalling its location from where they were in town. She felt like she had spent so much time in the Town of Beginnings she was starting to have a better feel for its layout than her actual hometown in the real world.

It wouldn't take long for them to reach the edge of the safe zone. Glancing over her shoulder to the dark-haired man, Telrenya gave another small smile before speaking up. "So, we can take some on together, or split up a bit. The drops that we get depend on how strong the monsters are, so I wouldn't want to force you into anything dangerous or keep you from getting loot." She waited to listen to Ichi's decision as she drew her rapier from its sheathe.

"Sticking together might be safer for a low level player like me," He says as he browses the inventory and equips his starter breastplate, securing the straps around him as best as he can for himself. The placement looks a little loose, but at least he is protected for now. He draws out his iron sword and gives you one more glance before moving on towards a herd of boars that can be seen from a distance.

Most boars don't seem to give a s**t about their friends fighting and getting butchered by players, so it is probably safe to initiate a 1v1 against one of them unless someone unleashes an attack that would spread towards the other boars, which can make them aggro immediately. Ichi scans the field until he notices a lone boar staring at him. For some reason, he feels a little unnerved as that particular creature seems to be already aggressive at the start.

No sooner after he takes a few steps towards it, it squeals out of nowhere and charges towards him. Ichi quickly gets into his fighting stance, his expression transforming from a timid one to a serious version. Too serious...

Unfortunately for both of them, they are swinging each other's weapons clumsily, narrowly missing their hits as they stagger like idiots.

She gave a nod at his suggestion. Ichi was helping her out with this quest, so she would help keep him safe while they fought these monsters for some much-needed experience. With her Rapier drawn, she also summoned another item from her inventory--the shield that Hei had given to her not long ago. It was a bit bulkier than she would have liked, reminding her that she would need to search for something more manageable when she had the extra money. 'Maybe a small buckler would be nice.' She mused. While Telrenya was busy thinking about an ideal shield to pair with Radiant Dawn, her teammate found a suitable target and hurried to take the creature down. The woman nodded to herself, needing to get to work herself, and spotted a nearby creature that was just slightly higher level to allow her to qualify for a loot drop.

She ran forward, blade glowing at the ready as she rushed towards the monster. She unsealed her strongest sword art, dropping it's health while the boar squealed loudly in response to the attack. It swung its head violently, large tusks crashing against the surface of her shield. Charging forward at her, the beast rammed into her defense hard enough to knock her off her feet, hitting the ground with a small grunt.

As Ichi is about to advance forward towards the boar, he hears another loud squealing nearby and turns around to see you fighting another boar, which unusually has high health. What the hell is that, he thinks to himself? No time to ponder though. He still has an enemy to deal with first.

The boar snorts aggressively before sprinting on all fours again, this time its tusks are aiming for Ichi. Gritting his teeth, he does the same and the result of the clash? Both gets hit this time.

While the tusks manages to cut Ichi's side as he sidesteps quickly, Ichi also plunged his sword into its flesh. His violent behaviour begins to surge in his mind as he continiously cut a long line among its hide and meat before withdrawing himself away from it. The boar also squeals in pain as Ichi now thinks about ramming that blade straight into its buttocks.

Another quick sideways glance towards Ichi. The boy seemed to be doing alright for himself, trading blows with the boar he was facing. It was hard to believe they were going to need to go through six of these monsters to complete the quest. Telrenya turned her attention back to her own opponent just in time to see the larger boar charging right for her. The woman's eyes widened slightly as she was caught unaware, and all she could think to do was hold her shield steady between them.

Luckily, Fear Eater not only disrupted most of the creature's damage, but the boar's face and head were littered with tiny red gashes, a result of the shield's collection of spikes littering its surface. Telrenya was able to keep her footing and grinned at the effectiveness of her new equipment. Now with the boar dealing with the infliction of new wounds, she had a small window to strike. She lowered her shield, holding it firmly at her side while she dashed forward. Her blade glowed an identical soft white and she released Quadruple Pain once again.
