Mars 0 Posted December 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) The sunlight of the world of Aincrad shines into the room through the window onto the bed of a player who gets up without a single fuss from being awoken up abruptly. After all their is much to be done today starting with killing those boars that are out their. However, to officially begin he needs to make his way over to Lyle's once more to have him explain the quest in full. He equip his armor as he does the motion for cracking my knuckles as he grins at the sound is heard but the satisfying feeling doesn't come with it since he had numbed himself to the sensations that would be similar to pain. After that he makes his way out of his room and towards the owner of the inn and waves at him. I'll be staying here for another day or two sir i'll pay at the end of each day okay. Cassius says in a kind and cheerful tone since their is other players having their meal. The innkeeper just waves Cassius off since he is busy serving his customers. Cassius just nods his head in understanding that business makes people seem rude, but it is just how the things work in the business world.

Mars 0 Posted December 3, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Cassius leaves the inn and makes his way over towards the shop of Lyle as he looks around he notices that their isn't anybody out on the street, or at the very least not as many as their was yesterday night and during the middle of the day. Which makes sense not many people are willing to get up early in the morning when they are to busy being miserable and sad for themselves He just walks through the streets slowly and carefully knowing their is more threats then the annoying players. Their being player killers who could be watching in the dark to wait for a player who is unprepared to move in and kill them when the player in question would have his or her back turned to this threat. That is why even in safe zones their is a need to keep an eye out since player killers can try to use the hiding skill to sneak into safe zones away from the guards that do try to keep player killers out.

Mars 0 Posted December 3, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Crossing through the streets he eventually reaches the blacksmith's shop and enters the shop as he spots the blacksmith who was waiting for him to show up. Good this will save him time as Lyle looks to him and nods his head. Good morning sir i am here for the job you need me to do. Cassius says politely as he crosses his arms and shifts his weight slightly to the right to get more comfortable. Lyle just nods his head. The job his simple Mars i need some boar parts to be making some weapons, and i don't have the skill to fight them, or even the energy to stand against them. I need you to kill some boar pups and gather their parts. About three will do if you can get them. Lyle tells Cassius as he nods his head and says. You got it sir expect me to be done before the start of a lunch break. After all we both have busy days, so for you to not have them before them would be bad for your business. He says then turns around waving back as he exits the shop. Link to post Share on other sites
Mars 0 Posted December 3, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Cassius starts making his way down the street looking at all of the buildings that he passes seeing restaurants, and many different shops that players have set up over the many years during their stay within this city. Many have started businesses to survive in this world, and he will be one of such a person also. He will probably make the building for his shop after these lesson quests, and after he had gotten himself a familiar that would be at his side. Considering the dream he had last night his familiar had firmly been chosen a liger will be his partner to help him fight. Funny how he had considered that option and gotten a dream that chose that one over the griffon. However, at the same time to have a dream of that makes lots of sense do to the way dreams actually work. Drams being the worries and thoughts we have so to have a dream of that animal makes sense do to the workings of dreams. Even if that is the case he'll accept the dream as a feasible enough decision making process for his familiar since it shows his mind preferred the liger over the griffon.

Mars 0 Posted December 3, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted December 3, 2017 As he continues walking down the cobble streets he wonders why players are so scared of the world around them? It is just so simple to fight against those things out their if they put in the minimal effort in actually fighting the enemies. Maybe it is simple the flight of fight response is strong enough to form a classical conditioning situation where they grow scared do to having seen one player or two die when the game first started off. Thus now they are all terrified and spending their days in misery in inns and in their shops. At the very least ones who have businesses are at least being a help through making things that players like him could actually fight against the big bad monsters the rest are to scared to do anything about. As he takes his steps down the road he wonders about this laughing coffin guild he had heard of also he needs to get someone to infiltrate that guild to allow him to know what they are planning since they have faded into the back of the world to not be heard or seen from again. It is only a matter of time before they do something big and amazing like moving against the major guilds. Link to post Share on other sites
Mars 0 Posted December 3, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted December 3, 2017 He looks up and sees the big exit towards the town and walks towards it with a forming grin as he can't help but finally release all this annoyance he had been built up during his gathering missions. These boars will have no chance against him especially with the help of his fist arts that will destroy them. Not really sword arts since he doesn't use a bladed weapon only his fists that will pound into whatever he attacks. Cassius looks into the distant and can see the suns rays through the trees and such in the distance and nods his head appreciating the sight that this game can provide players that some don't try to enjoy. Some players only able to see the bad of everything which is a fault on their part since they are trapped here anyway. Taking the time out of the day to view the world during the in between of quests while traveling being a waste of this world that is their reality now. It would be the equivalent of going around in the real world only doing nonstop work. That would eventually burn them out in terms of their energy and leave them passing out unable to do anything at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Mars 0 Posted December 3, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted December 3, 2017 He passes through the archway that is the exit to the town as he enters the fields once more as he looks around at the now very familiar sight that is getting quite boring honestly from having been down this path quite frequently, but now at least he can use this for a useful way of getting down into the purpose of the game. To destroy the enemies that are all around that needs to be destroyed. He looks over the fields with curiosity in his eyes wondering if he would spot any of these boarpups he was meant to kill. He can't imagine them being a threat, and he cold bet that he could destroy them with just a single hit with his fist. What he sees are two boar pups by themselves walking about as he grins glad to have spotted the targets he is looking for. Now then it is time to make his way over their to teach them a lesson of who is the top of the food chain. A very short lived lesson, but it will be a well taught one.

Mars 0 Posted December 3, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Cassius sneaks on over towards the boar pups preparing to use his fist arts to destroy these little useless trash mobs. Walking slowly towards the small creature that will be rather annoying in trying to hit do to the fact they are small and he has to try and punch them. He quickly refocuses and sees he is getting closer within range of the boar pups. However, once he steps just within some range of them they turn back towards him as Cassius springs forwards and punches one on its right side up towards the air and then quickly does five more once it is within reasonable height. After the third hit the boar pup shatters into nothing. I then turn to the other boar pup ignoring the prompt of the quest telling i got one of the quest materials as i start trying to hit the boar pup with the fast jabs at its body. However, it seems this one learned from the others death and dodges out of the attacks before headbutting his chest causing Cassius to take a few steps backwards as he stares at the little thing that squeals loudly most likely trying to call for help.

Mars 0 Posted December 3, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) #91576 BD: 9 5+1=6 DMG Cassius quickly moves towards the thing as it squeal out for help punching it as hard as he can causing it to help like it is sonic rolling up for a attack before shattering into nothing. When he looks to see if he got any quest item he sees their is nothing. However, it seems the call had helped as he hears a four loud squeals as he turns to see more boar pups rushing on over towards where he is. He just chuckles seeing the futility of these things moving towards him as they all will just get destroyed by his sword arts. It is only the matter of telling if the looting mechanic will work in his favor when he kills these annoying nuisances. He however wouldn't mind never ending waves of these things since it would be amazing to destroy these nuisances forever with how he can overpower them with just his basic attacks. He grins darkly knowing he is going to enjoy killing these boar pups with absolutely no mercy towards them.

Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted December 4, 2017 He watches the little boar pups come charging at him with their red little glowing eyes of hate for having destroyed their fellow kind without even a shred of emotion. Cassius watches these little annoyances make their way over to him as he gets into a runner position. Once he sees the little boar pups are within his range he sprints forward faster then these little animals can inspect and starts with his fist art once more. Cassius quickly starts moving his fists that enhanced by the sword art punching three of the boars up wards with the last one dodging the strike rather easily. However, the three boar pups are quickly punches over and over with fast and hard punches as Cassius grins as he watches this happen. With one last hit for each of them they are slammed into the ground and shatter, but no loot is dropped as Cassius turns to the last boar pup that is frightened. You better hope you get lucky since i am in a bad mood. Cassius says in frustration at the lack of items from three enemies. The last boar pup frightened but programmed to fight charges at him which he easily side steps out of the way the little boar pup squealing like the last as Cassius can see three boar pups spawn ready to fight like the other three that were just destroyed.

Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Cassius looks at his enemy and quickly moves in following the same procedure as the last times quickly dashing over to them and tries swinging at them. However, to his slight surprise it seemed these boar pups have finally learned to dodge as they had done so. Only one was left the victim of each power, and fast strikes with one last strike filled with his annoyance at the fact these little boars managed to dodge. The strike hits the boar shattering it into pieces, and had given him the quest material. 2/3. Cassius says under his breathe and quickly tries dodging the attacks the last three boars made as one tried tackling his chest which he grabbed the horn and threw the creature away not letting the attack actually connect. However, the next two had hit smacking into his legs as Cassius had jumped back. He looks down to the two little boars, and then the red marks along his leg that the game signifies as damage. You'll regret that you animals. Cassius says as he stares down these boar pups with a glare that would put the devil himself to shame. The boar pups just run their hooves along the ground ready to fight also not terrified. That was their mistake they should be terrified beyond all reason.

Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Staring at the three boar pups he quickly goes to the one that is the odd boar pup out. The one he had thrown away from him when it had aimed for attacking his chest. he quickly moves to it and then slams his fist against its snout sending it away from him as it shattered into nothing halfway through a spin as once again their is no loot given to him for the kill. He turns back to the other two boar pups that are now charging towards him. He dodges the attack of the first one with barely any effort as he watches it run past him. However, the other boar slams into his leg once more as he looks down to the nuisance not even flinching. You're next lunch. I hope you can survive the hit. Cassius says with a grin of excitement for the attack that is going to happen to this little animal. That tries to actually survive and kill him when their is no chance of success for it. Cassius having made sure of that with all the quests he did before this one.

Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Cassius looks down to the little creature in front of him and punts the thing as hard as he can as the creature shatters into nothing as he gets a little screen telling him he got the last material he needed for this quest. He turns to the last with a grin and looks it over before nodding his head figuring it would be more trouble to leave this thing be then to destroy it utterly. To leave it shattered into nothing to become some other person's probably most likely one of the weaklings who can barely prevent their own dagger from hurting themselves. Cassius just waits for the little scared boar pup to do anything. The creature backs up a bit before its programming kicks in as it is forced to charge towards him as he sidesteps the easily predicted path it would take as he can see the creatures eyes are closed. Most likely in fear of being kicked hard enough to never live again like the boar pup he had just seen that fate to it.

Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #14 Share Posted December 4, 2017 He looks to the last remaining one as it is passing by him and then quickly kicks it like the last as it becomes shattered as he grin happily the fight having been very therapeutic for himself. Having actually taken part in some of the fun of this game of what it is meant to be. After months of just gathering information he is using it meaningfully by actually fighting creatures. While said creatures are way below his current strength it is still a rather nice feeling of doing something rather then picking herbs for old people, or punching a boulder till it shattered. Now their is the targets that must fall before him. The nepents in the forest, the bee on the second floor, and the hoya on the third floor. The ice monster on the fourth, and so many others that wait to die by his hands from them not knowing he knows their tricks. Having spent these months gathering all the information he can on each floor, each quest, and as much of the events he could that have occurred. Even the latest news that is buzzing that he knew long before them the news of a player by the name of Beatbox that was close to the Celestials. #91593 BD: 7 base 1+4(sword art rank) Cassius: 108/120 ENG: 0/12 Boar pup #3 0/5 Link to post Share on other sites
Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) He looks around the area and just sits down and relaxes for awhile to regenerate his energy, and health encase he runs into more mobs on his way back into town. Able to take this moment from the fact that their aren't any boar pups within sight that he is able to tell from. He looks around the area and figures he can regenerate energy while doing something meaningful instead of doing absolutely nothing. he looks around the field for any flowers or such that can be used for his alchemy profession but finds nothing in sight immediately. He just nods his head and gets up off of the ground and starts to walk around going over what he knows you can find in this game. Their are the items called treasure chest, but that can certainly wait while he is on other quests with players. Knowing that finding them would be more tolerable since it apparently takes a really keen eye and patience to find them just like how familiars can be from what his informants have told him. #91594 LD: 1 Edited December 4, 2017 by Mars Link to post Share on other sites
Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted December 4, 2017 As he is thinking on the familiar business he grins as he receives a message from one of his informants. He opens up the message and grins even more as this one tells him the location of the Scout Paladin Itzal's shop. He messages back for them to message the rest that the target is found, and to refocus efforts on finding the player known as Aereth so he can start getting his weapons, and armor from him. During this conversation Cassius is walking through the field and spots what he needs he picks the item up and adds it to his inventory as he gains a material to use in his shop. During that he gets a message telling him that the task will be completed as he finishes the conversation by typing that he thanks him and the others efforts. He chuckles a bit knowing he doesn't care if they would die out in the field, but it is important to seem like a good boss, and friend to them to get what he needs. #91595 LD: 19 Link to post Share on other sites
Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #17 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Cassius grins at this success of finding the people he needs now their is only the matter of finishing this quest up. He looks towards the time and sees it is about time he starts making his way back towards the town of beginning and more specifically Lyle. However, before he is willing to go he does one last look around the field and spots what he wanted another material that he happily picks up and adds to his collection of materials. With that he begins his way back towards the town walking through the fields feeling fully energized once more to fight off any annoying boar pups that could come against him in attempts to slow down his progress. However, it seemed the seven or eight he had killed was enough of a message to the rest to stay away from this dangerous human in their eyes. He can only chuckle glad to have put fear in the hearts of these programs oh how many references could be made from that most likely. #91596 LD: 16 +1 Total+2 materials 3/3 quest materials Edited December 4, 2017 by Mars Link to post Share on other sites
Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #18 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Cassius continues to walk along the field as he head towards the town as he enters through the exit as he is met with the sound and loud bragging of players once more as it is noon so players are out and about being an annoyance once more, but unlike last time he doesn't have a route to go to avoid this. Because of this he is forced to smile and say hello's and how are yous to players that recognize him do to his reputation in the inns of being a player who is actually fighting, and being useful in this game unlike themselves. He may have also added to the stories here and their to make him sound better then eh was considering he was only level one at that time, but that is not a fact that they or any players needy privy to. Only those he will party up with will get to know his actual strength in terms of levels, and those that can earn his trust will learn what he is truly after. The world needs to wake up and realize not everything is perfect, and they need to learn that lesson that nobody cares for their rights and are working to strip them of that. What better way to do that then show them what the government is doing under false kindness, and then show them the after effect of the supposedly good will of the governments. By showing them that not even their oh so kind governments care he can then work to have them learn to trust him, and then slowly work to put him into a place of power. That being his only goal in all of this to become in a seat of power to rise above his station after the war that will be the people's uprising against the governments.

Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #19 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Cassius walks his way through the streets making his way down the paths he had long since memorized from going to quests and away from them so he would never have his sense of direction messed with if for some reason he got spun around in all which ways. He would be able to have things he recognized even if it is just the direction because of the sun on where to go and how. Cassius grins as he spots the place he is looking for. He can see the blacksmith shop over the heads of all these different players as he slowly makes his way over towards the bumping into many people in the process of doing so. Having to be apologetic and saying sorry and excuse me when he couldn't care less if he knocked them over onto the ground, or shoved them into another person. However, he has to be kind and gain support here so it can transfer into the real world. To use these people as the pawns they are that can be traded and never seen again if it will help him reach his goals. Link to post Share on other sites
Mars 0 Posted December 4, 2017 Author #20 Share Posted December 4, 2017 He makes his way into the shop and walks up towards the NPC that is Lyle and hands him the materials he had asked for. Here you go sir the three boar tusks that you had requested for me to gather for you. Cassius says in a polite tone as Lyle nods his head and pats him on the back. Good job Mars now then i can't let you go without giving you a little something for the help give me a bit and i'll have something whipped up for you in just a little bit. Just tell me would you want some armor, or a weapon? Lyle asks me curiously as he look at Lyle. I would only want the weapon if it would help with martial arts if you can't provide that i would prefer the armor sir. Cassius says with a nod of his head speaking in a neutral tone holding back the boredom of this knowing that the armor will help for certain, but it will not interest him that much in the end when he goes to replace it for light armor.
