(SP-F1) Beginning of a profession

[Dray958 0]

Dray had been in this game for awhile now, wandering around the beginning town interacting only with the people he bumped into or tried to talk to him. Since he had gotten his nerve gear, Dray was excited to get into this world and see what it had to offer. He couldnt wait to do things like fight monsters and compete in wars. Then the giant hooded man showed up and told everyone that it was against their best interests to die.

Now all Dray can think about is clearing this game. but the only way to do that was by getting help. The only thing Dray didnt know how to do that was useful in the real world was make friends. And it was coming back to him in this world with a vengeance.

As Dray walked down the streets alone he ran into a NPC, he was just about to side step and leave until he noticed that this particular NPC had a nice leather hood on that tickled Dray's interest.

How did you get this hood on?

But the NPC didnt even notice Dray, he kept screaming about his tailored goods made from boar hide. Thats when Dray thought to himself that if he couldnt get the hood from this guy he would just make his own.

Dray found his way out of the city and went to the fields. He pulled out his long sword and began looking out at the herds of boar that were just roaming around. He was hoping to find one that was isolated and a smaller version of the others but unfortunately that was not the case in this field.

Dray just kept walking and looking out at the boars when he finally ran into, not one. But two big boars. Both immediately Agro'd to Dray and he almost didnt have enough time to react when the first Boar charged him. He barely managed to dodge the boars attack as it ran past him. Dray then took a stance and pointed his sword to the boar that didnt charge. He pulled his sword up and began to slice the boar.

BOAR 1: 2/2

BOAR 2: 2/2

Dray: 5/5

His first ever strike on a beast actually hit. The blade hit the boar around his neck area and the boar staggered a bit. Dray was ecstatic that he was finally becoming a part of this world. But then the other boar had recovered from his charge and hit Dray in his back with a critical hit.

Dray fell down almost face first into the ground, he managed to catch his fall in time to look up and roll over as the boar he hit had reared up and charged at him. Dray stood up quickly and readied his sword again, this time aimimg at the first boar that hit him. He braced himself as he pulled his sword back up ready to attack again.

BOAR 1: 2/2

BOAR 2: 1/2

Dray: 3/5

Drays attack had sunk into the first boar, all that was heard was the sound of his blade ripping thru the boars neck line. The boar had just stood still and taken the attack, his animated, animal eyes had dilated and it gave out a final snort before it fell down and shattered into glass-like shards. Dray felt himself feeling something he had never felt before. He later found a example like this heard when he was in a tavern. The people described it as Bloodlust.

Drays pupils suddenly narrowed down into two beads, he looked over at the other boar who had his back leg scrapping against the dirt showing that it was about to charge. And when it did all Dray did was take a step to the side and pulled his sword up in a way that would allow him to only stab down.

BOAR 1:0/2

BOAR 2: 1/2

Dray: 3/5

Dray had pushed his sword down, ready to finish this fight and kill another animal for just pure amusement, he felt a sensation of excitement as he relished in the thought of hitting and killing this boar. But, Dray had missed his shot. To his confusion the boar had managed to dodge Drays attack and instead hit him in his ankle, sending Dray down to his knees.

Dray was at a loss, his anger and excitement for killing had left him with only the thought of death. His leg had felt like it was hit with a sledge hammer even though this was only a simulation of a fight. Dray looked down at the dirt, sweat dripping down his brow, and he was scared. he wouldnt be able to prove himself a hero if he was dead. He heard a snort and looked up to see the final boar had charged him for what could be its, and Drays last time. all Dray thought of was how he was gonna die and nobody was even going to know.

Dray pulled up his sword and pointed it at the boar in a last ditch effort. All he could hope was for his luck to be well enough for this boar to run straight into his sword, as his eyes squished down and his eyebrow furrowed. All he could hear was the sound of the boar getting closer.

Luck was not on Drays side as the boar anticipated Drays sword and instead ran straight into Drays chest. This knocked back Dray back onto the ground. Now Dray opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. He could feel the air in his chest had been knocked out and Dray was struggling to breathe.

Dray thought of everything he had done in the past month, tell his family of his plans to leave the country, buy this game in the hopes of making some friends from around the world, being stuck in this game because the creator of it for some odd reason had decided to trap everyone inside. This just made Dray angry, in a slow motion. Dray stood back up. Using his sword hilt to prop himself up from the ground Dray looked around until he caught glimpse of the boar. Dray then somehow tapped into his energy supplies and started walk to the boar.

During its last attack, the boar must have become fatigued and ran into a large rock, severely stunning it for a short duration. Dray took this time to approach this boar and raise his sword.

BOAR 1: 0/2

BOAR 2: 1/2

Dray: 1/5

To Drays utmost horror, he missed. His vision must have been blurred because he was just inches away from killing this boar. The boar then reared up and backed away from Dray, but Dray was quicker than that.

Dray pushed himself away from the rock and towards the boar, this time he pulled his sword to the side in hopes that a side swipe would have better accuracy and might be what Dray will need to kill this boar. All Dray could think now was getting the hit on this boar and going back to the safety of the Town of Beginnings where he could rest

(the dice just arent on my side today i guess :oops)

The boar had managed to side step Dray again. For some reason it tried to attack Dray as well but it missed him. It was as if they had both spent the entire night drinking the ail from the taverns. But Dray had gotten a sudden surge of power, his vision cleared a bit and he felt like he had enough strength to hold his long sword with both hands again.

Dray was confused, he hadnt used any kind of healing but he felt stronger. Dray looked up and noticed a icon shaded blue that said LEVEL UP!. Dray had thought he was given a blessing from whatever gods this game had and he turned to the boar again. He raised his sword and charged the boar ready to take a stab at its face.

BOAR 1: 0/2

(UGH, if this final attack misses im just gonna have Dray run away lol. this is becoming ridiculous)

Dray swished his sword in the air valiantly, but he missed again. Remember how i said they looked as if they had been drinking ale all night? Yeah well now you are starting to understand why.

Dray couldnt help but almost give up on his task of becoming a tailor just because getting this material was becoming tasking. Dray decided that he would try to attack at least one more time and if he missed again then he would just make a run for it to the Town of Beginnings. As his sword flew up into the sky ready to come down and either kill this boar or miss entirely. Dray had closed his eyes in Fear that he would embarrass himself yet again .

Drays sword went straight into the ground, slicing thru dirt and grass. Dray felt his face become hot as all he could do was tear up. He looked at the bull who was very versatile and almost looked like he had blood in his eyes. The boar charged for Drays leg but Dray jumped up and over the boar as it slipped in the grass and fell down to the ground.

Dray took his sword and pulled it out of the ground, he aimed at the boar that had fallen and aimed at its stomach. His anger fueling him, Dray jumped forward hoping to drive his sword deep into the boars belly.

BOAR 1: 0/2

BOAR 2: 1/2

Dray: 3/7

Dray had once again missed his mark, this time hitting and stabbing the ground just before the boar, The boar had enough time to jump up and steady itself and began its charge. Dray picked up his sword from the ground and drooped down to his knee.

He readied his sword and aimed it straight at the boars face in hopes that this would be the final attack that would end all attacks. The boar was getting closer and closer and all Dray could do was steady his hand. He breathed out slowly and pushed his sword forward to meet the boar.

BOAR 1: 0/2

(PRAISE THE LORD )

Drays attack had finally stuck. He felt his sword slice thru the boar like it was almost nothing. Finally this battle that had already taked to long was finally over.

The boar reared up and gave one last whine before it fell down and shattered into glass shards just like the first boar had. Dray sat down and breathed out a sigh of relief as he felt all his energy almost leave his body. Dray looked down and stared up at the sky, looking at all of the animated clouds and flying dragons.

I am still in this.

Was all Dray could say before he sat up. Dray happy as ever stood up and began his journey back to the Town of Beginnings.

Once Dray had gotten back to town he had found a secluded area. He let out a sigh and looked around him only to see that there was nobody around to help or congratulate him on his job well done in killing the boars. Drays head hang down to his chest and he shut his eyes.

He woke up hours later and yawned, he looked around while he rubbed his eyes and noticed that his secluded area was no longer, well. Secluded. People were walking up and down the street paying no mid or even shedding a thought at the existence Dray who, at the moment. looked like a homeless street rat waiting for his next chance to eat. Dray then stood up and began walking away only to remember the reason why he went out into the field in the first place.

He went to the closest Tailoring shop and walked inside, he went up to the store owner and asked if they would be willing to help him in his quest of becoming a good tailor.
