[F1-SP] A girl's best friend <<TTLIJAF

[Mars 0]

After having slid down the area he found the open spaced cavern that his informants told him where the jewel can be found. He looks around and wonders where to begin looking and chooses the area near the upper right of where he is at currently and starts searching along their using his eyes and hands to try and find something but comes up with nothing for the moment as he wonders what the fourth lesson quest will be like since it will require him to fish up a monster and destroy it. Will the fish somehow get on his boat and fight him? Would he fish it up and then it would come out of the water and try to strike him which would be the right moment to actually attack? That being a mystery since it is only a fish which leaves him rather curious of its attack mechanic. Now that he thinks of that it makes sense to attack it as it is attacking since that is how that fifth floor quest is suppose to go.

He looks around the area realizing this would be a rather good location for a treasure chest from what he can tell since it is rather out of the way so it could hold a treasure chest for him to take from the earth. he inspects the area going towards the center of the room and feeling along the ground and feels no object sticking out of the ground. He then runs his hand along the wall in search for the treasure chest and finds nothing once more. He nods his head figuring their is nothing around this area for the moment which leaves going back to trying to find that jewel that this artisan needs, and then getting his accuracy item to prepare for that fish that wishes to actually hurt him. He tries to think if he felt anything in his search for the treasure chest when he had ran his hands along the wall. he moves towards the bottom left of where he had begin to see if their was anything their. Thinking he had felt something over near that wall.

He looks along that wall and finds nothing initially as he sighs softly and hands his head for a moment and realizes this could take awhile just based on the fact that finding this jewel may take longer then he had planned for. Since he had even planned for the fisherman's quest today thinking this quest or Lyle's wouldn't take that long to complete. But low and behold both have this looting mechanic that is having him to try and find a item that is trying to hide from him despite his best efforts in finding it. He begins to wonder if his information brokers are trying to play a game on him, and if they are he will teach them why the fear the war god that is their ruler. Starting with that little mouse Amaline who was the first to feed him false information in the past, and still to this day plays pranks on him from time to time in the name of "Getting him to relax". With him allowing this since it seems to gives some type of moral to the girl.

He gives up on this side and figures it had to be the bottom right instead and walks over to their and searches along that wall and finds nothing once more as he looks to the other side of the room and refuses to go over to their. To find the crystal in the last spot that he had checked being one of the more common things that has happened to him in the past when searching for things. Because of that he refuses to give up on this side of the room to try and undermine that from happening. Not wishing to give into this game's wicked ways of taunting as if it can look into his past to make him do exactly that. Instead he just stands and thinks for a moment on how he should approach this Itzal that is part of the Celestial's. He knows the man has some kind of deal with the buzz name Death Adder. The man with famous weapons that once belonged to a man called the hero of Aincrad, and has Unique skills that makes him a god basically in everything he does. No man stands against that man alone, and nobody stands against Death Adder in fear of death that will come from that inevitably do to how Death Adder functions. His duel wielding making anyone to scared to face him, or should since he is at the same time rather unknown despite everything the man has. That is why he made sure to find out everything he could on this man before any other.

He continues searching along the wall and finally finds the jewel and rips it out of the wall with his strength and grins with absolute glee. Glad to finally find the thing he had been looking for in all of this. However, that is short lived as the rocks start to crumble as minerals start forming as a hand comes out of the ground and slowly pushing itself out of the ground before what forms is a being that barely fits within the height of this cavern as he stares at this guardian. Welp looks like it is time to start punching. Cassius says with a grin knowing he can go all out since their is nobody to see him. 'Time to get crazy, and show them absolutely no mercy!' He thinks to himself in excitement to be able to go all out in how he can fight to absolutely tear this things into nothing, but cyber dust.

Cassius quickly kicks off of the ground towards the guardian and kicks at what he thinks is the creature and then hits it on where its neck should be. He grins thinking he had hit the thing however when he feels a fist slam into his side and sees it is connected to the guardian he grunts as he hits the wall as he looks up to the creature as his safeguard wears off. How did that happen? He was certain he had hit the boss with everything he had and succeeded? Seems like the darkness is able to mess with his vision just enough to make him see things slightly off. He gets back up slowly rubbing side ever so slightly do to the hit that had heart quite a bit from him having not expected, so he didn't have time to make him believe the pain was fake. he glares up at this creature and prepares to truly show this thing why it won't ever mess with a Lasairiona ever again. Why nobody gets away with messing with his family if he is present.

Cassius gets up off of the ground and quickly shoots himself right back towards the guardian but adjusts himself to be slight towards the left of where he thinks the guardian actually is since that is how much he had messed up the attack last time by being slightly to right so he had missed the enemy. He kicks the guardian hard in the stomach area of what it would be which causes it to fall to the ground. he then lands on its leg and jumps off and chops it in the neck, but when he does so the head comes cleanly sent off of the rest of the body as it shatters into crystals swiftly followed by the rest of the body. Once he lands he grins happily as once again a successful attack had happened in his favor. Now their was only the matter of getting out of this cave,  and then heading towards the town of beginnings to return this to Hannah.

Cassius makes his way back towards the area where he had slide down to get to here and started his very slow ascent back upwards as he can't help but think how much easier things will be once he gets some accuracy increase to himself to be able to actually land hits upon enemies. He grips the ground of the cave and slowly makes his way back up towards the top of the cave to get towards its entrance. After about ten minutes he manages to get up without much difficulty do to the strength he has in this game allowing him to climb up the slight slope with total ease. He looks towards the exit and walks towards it with a calm pace towards it knowing he has sometime to kill when getting back to the town since their is energy to be restored with each step he takes since that way he can burn more of that energy in his attempts of destroying the monsters that he could come across.

[Mars 0]

He eventually exits the cave and then looks towards the sun and nods his head as he quickly starts sprinting full speed and force through the forest to get back towards the town to keep on his schedule. Cassius running full speed as he weaves in and out through the tree that are in front of him to make it towards the grassy plains that are waiting him on the other side of this area of the forest. Cassius can only smile a tiny bit at this feeling of absolute power he has do to his martial arts, and stamina he has gained throughout the game that will sadly disappear once he returns the real world. The only benefit though is that he will know how to do martial arts do to the fact the brain remembers how a fake body will move so it could apply the same logic to the real body. The only thing would need to work on the strength and flexibility of the real body to be able to do every sword art that he can with martial arts.

[Mars 0]

He breaks through the treeline while dashing through the grassy plains now as he spots lots of boars, boar pups, some birds, and other creature out and about looking for unsuspecting players to get to close and pay the price of their health, and possibly even their life if they are unlucky enough. Cassius continues dashing through the grounds as he wonders what to do in regards to the guilds. Since working with players is rather useful in terms of pulling them towards his side, but that means he would have to find enough to side with him, and force himself to try and forge a bond with a bunch of useless people who can't do anything correctly. Then their is the main guilds who he still would love to watch fall and crumble like the Azure Brigade particularly guilds like the Celestials who say they are created to help players, but only one or two actually go about and do that. Leaving them a guild with a hollow message at the very heart of things. Then their is the new guilds that crop up here and their that would be left better off forming together if they have a similar view then to continue allow themselves to fracture more and more into everything is basically like fractionated turf war of getting guild members.

[Mars 0]

he continues dashing through the grassy planes as he makes his way back towards the town each step being like a thundering horse step do to his heavy armor that creates quite a bit of noise as he starts to see the town in the very distance which isn't that shocking from how big the place is. He just wonders if he will run into that idiot Yata once more, or some other player who will bother him like all the rest he had met so far today. He shakes his head in slight amusement at how players either against him, or neutral can be swayed like this morning as long as he shows a good natured spirit and put on a show. That being usually enough to rally those to his side if he says in public he will fight against the things seen as evil, and then just a added bonus if his opponent then joins him at his side giving him even more credibility to his ideals which had managed to work this morning not perfectly. Just enough to gain a sort of ally who wouldn't allow him to die until he had beat him in a fair match.

[Mars 0]

He arrives near the town and spots players actually looking for herbs? My this is interesting must of been a influx of players doing this because of his show which inspired them to get off their lazy butts and get to working by improving themselves through quests. However, that means he will have to take a roundabout way of getting into the town to remain undetected. He dashes off towards the sound having to go around the circumference of the town until he reached the next gate that had no players traveling through it. With that he entered through the western gate and starts making his way across the town towards the groves of trees that hold Hannah in them to give her the jewel she wanted to make whatever item the quest was created for this NPC to make. All he knows is that he is getting that Accuracy buff item to help him land more attacks.

[Mars 0]

He makes his way across the town of beginnings sticking to the shadows of what the town can provide to avoid the annoyances of those around him if he can avoid them. Cassius can indulge those people later who want to talk to him, but today he has quests that need to be completed to stick to his schedule of meeting this Paladin to acquire his familiar. Knowing that can be awhile since the man is a busy one do to what his informants have gathered is lots of COL gathering for something. The what to that still being a mystery to him, but he has theories from other information he has gathered on that man. Itzal, and the other Paladins being priority targets for information along with any other guild leaders. These being the greatest sources of information that can be offered to the people of Aincrad since they are the inner workings of Aincrad. That is why he knows what every guild does since their is no for sure knowledge of what they know unless you try to learn it.

[Mars 0]

He makes his way across a rather busy streets keeping undercover by unequipping his armor in favor of some basic vanity clothing to blend in the crowd to become less noticed. However,  that can be difficult if they notice his red eyes and try to connect that to the red visor of the armored being Mars. He crosses the street into the other alley before dashing forward once more as he thinks on what he knows of Itzal. A man who is trusting and kind, but has some kind of feud going with a player by the name of Fearx, and has anger towards Death Adder for the death of Beatbox. This allowing him to know to be careful for this Fearx of showing up since their have been multiple accounts of this man showing up during times of Itzal being near another player. That means he would have to be careful in how he observes the situation, and to be careful to not anger this Fearx or he might find himself on the end of a blade to his neck.

[Mars 0]

He continues through dimly lit alleys, and side streets since that will allow him to make it to the park with the safety of knowing he doesn't need to give these people any reason to see him, or talk to him. A familiar is something he needs rather desperately, but that can wait till he makes some sushi from a swordfish. That interaction however need to go perfectly however if he wishes for this Itzal to help him more in the future which could be favorable, but in all honesty he would prefer the Paladin Morgenstern or the famous tank Shield since they are the compliment to absolute strength. If he fails this interaction though he could lock himself out of help from the Celestials which would be rather disappointing and devastating since there is no other player that could serve as a good tank then for the later quests currently. The only player that could maybe get his attention is that girl Hestia who won something at the Halloween event which is basically her only noteworthy thing she had gotten. Then their is the fact she had also been helping players having heard her name now and then after she had helped some loser. Apparently the other player in question asked her for help loudly and in a public space and she said yes which had gotten players talking since the player is supposedly rather bad, so for her to help has allowed news to spread. Then their are other players like Calrex who is famous for being a strong player that can basically solo any quest not much on him do to no informant being brave enough to watch the man.

[Mars 0]

Cassius weaves through the streets starting to see the park in the distance as he continues thinking of players that he has information on. Their is this new guild that had sprouted up that he had to get new informants to get on since all they have is the name. Some words that he knows mean sovereign union do to the ingame translating it for him into his own language.  The leader being unknown currently, but their is the leaders of two guilds Stryder, and Jomei. One being the hero basically of this game after the late Zelrius, and the other being a practitioner of martial arts like him. Jomei being one he had sent a few informants to keep their eye on do to the fact the man had a interaction with Death Adder and was allowed to leave alive if just barely, and their is the fact he has the sister of Beatbox in his guild which he is sure that the Celestials would love to know. To try and take her for themselves to make sure she stays safe.

[Mars 0]

Cassius enters the park as he looks around as he abandons the thoughts of the players for the moment since he isn't much he can do with that information besides maybe try to have a meeting with the player Stryder for tips of Martial arts, or have a meeting with the player Jomei to figure out who Death Adder is. What does that player even want since he has the weapons of Zelrius? I mean he had taken the weapons of a player who calls himself a hero, and now calls himself that from what he has learned through his informants. That all he has on the man which is probably the only non-bias reports he will get since all the other players will have some bias against he man. Either from attachments they had to a player Death Adder had killed, or do to being attacked by the man for whatever reason he could have.Death Adder being the mystery that he is going to solve while doing his main goal of getting support, and allies that he can draw to himself.

[Mars 0]

He walk through the park passing by more trees and a few players that recognize him from earlier in the day as he just waves kindly to them with a smile that looks real which they reciprocate as he could in reality care less about their survival. He looks forward to the grove of trees where he knows the NPC Hannah is located at. His feet carrying him over towards their at a relaxed pace able to do so after hours of running. He opens his menu and checks his messages and sees that he got none which means that the current location of Aereth is unknown to him which means their is going to be a delay in finding the shop that will allow him to get his armor and weapons he needs for his style of fighting, and armor. This being a small annoying setback as he has informants on all floors who work under Amaline who while she is a brat he knows for certain she does get him the information he needs in the end now. With her help he knows as much as he does he can only wonder how long her loyalty will last? If anything she can be easily disposed of in the end if she ever tries to betray him for some other master.

[Mars 0]

He enters the groves of trees and sees the NPC known as Hannah and looks at her. Hello Hannah i have come back with the gem you need. Cassius says to the girl and hands her the gem she requested of him to retrieve her as she smiles as she takes it and nods her head. Absolutely perfect! This will be so helpful in helping out Ol' Pete. She says as he raises an eyebrow at that wondering what she could make with a gold band, and a jewel to help her friend ol'pete. From what he knows of these quests ol'pete is a fisherman who requested a fishing pole so nothing from this makes any sense in terms of connecting the quests besides handing over a parcel to one NPC from another. Well i'm glad you can help you friend miss Hannah. He says respectfully to her to keep the image he has gained as she nods her head as she forges a ring from what she has and hands it to him. There you go! A ring with a little boost to it. Hannah tells him as he takes the ring that he didn't specify for her as he checks the stat and see that it is indeed a ring of accuracy as he equips it and nods his head to this NPC.

[Mars 0]

Hey can you do me a favor? She asks as Cassius can only chuckle as their is the classic words from these NPCs as Hannah hears the chuckles and nods her head. I know you've heard it so many times by now, but i want you to give this parcel to Ol'Pete if you can sir. Would you be willing to help me out with that? She asks him as he just nods his head hitting the accept button the quest. Of course Hannah i'll get this to Pete as best as i can for you. He says politely taking the quest parcel that enters his inventory as she nods her head. Grateful he is willing to do this for her to help her out. He can only wonder how easy this sword will be now that he has the stats, and attack power that is needed for handling that quest. With all the items he had gained during these quests he is practically ready for anything these things could throw at him. He has defense from Lyle, Accuracy from Hannah, and his bonus damage if he somehow misses from the beginners package. He is ready to knock out this quest with ease.
