[F1-SP] Warrior of the sea <<TFLIAF>>

[Mars 0]

He looks towards the Artisan that starts to speak even more to him. Thanks for being willing to deliver that package to Ol'Pete he is found near the big lake just outside of the town towards the southeast if i remember correctly. She says with a nod of her head after thinking for a moment as Cassius just nods his head along with her as if he didn't know what he was just told. Thank you so much Ma'am i'll make sure to deliver this with such haste that not even the wind will be able to match me. Cassius says in a polite tone of voice as he turns and starts to make his way towards this fisherman having to cover the length of the enter town now, but at the very least he is within the very end of these series of quests, and can then finally get started with quests that will actually matter. To do quests like getting a familiar, and also the queen wasp on the second floor after he kills off the Nepents in the forest. Once that is complete he will aim his goal higher and prep everything he has for the wargs on the second floor. That way he will be prepared for taking them out with his skills.

Cassius starts making his way through the town at a calm pace towards his goal of the fishing spot. He moves through the side streets sneaking in and out through every bit of space that he can find as he chuckles a bit realizing this behavior befits that of the master of shadows Hikoru of the Celestials. The man deserving of that title from his ability to disappear from view during a battle as he wonders if he should mimic that while adding in his martial arts into the mix to try and get the best amount of damage while having the ability to hide and wait for his health and energy to regen if he gets in over his head. That seeming like a good idea to justify his want of the sneak skill besides for just a few quests that would benefit from him having that skill at his side. With these he is sure that once he has a fully planned out build he will be able to make every player bow to him as he works in his strength to overpower or destroy the competition that could stand in opposition to him.

As he continues sneaking through the darkness of the shadows observing those he can during his travels as he starts to make it closer to just the center of the city to then make a dash across the street towards the other side to then sneak through the other side to get to the exit that is required for this quest. He keeps his visibility as low as he can while moving through the winding streets, and narrow passageways that according to his map is leading him towards where he needs to go. He looks to his menu and opens it up and messages his informants asking if their are any events coming up where he can display his true power to the masses, and without missing a single beat he is informed of the tournament setup by tier rank as he grins at that fact. Knowing that the worthwhile players would be to strong for him to actually fight leaving the weaker ones for himself. he can only wait in anticipation for him to gain more and more strength to get closer to that level cap to be at max strength, and show those people his true power among this tier before making it to the next and then dominating them.

[Mars 0]

Hopefully this tournament signup can last long enough for him to prepare to fight this stryder that has entered. If it can then he will gladly prepare himself for matching what he will see us a goal for him to reach. To fight Stryder and beat him in a fair fight between the two where no potions will be used. For true strength will be found through their strategy of their builds otherwise it is meaningless. The only buffs he would allow would be from any familiars since the choice of familiar also goes into the planning of how players can survive successfully.  He can feel excitement brewing inside him as he can't wait to test his metal against other players who are guaranteed to be much stronger then what he can be. He sees the streets of the town coming into sight showing he has run out of side streets for now as he quickly dashes through the players as they only see a slight movement of black that weaves through the crowds making them lose sight of him before they could ever identify him. Once on the other side of the street he takes a few steady breaths to get his breathing even once more sine he had put quite a bit of energy into that to make sure he stayed unseen which he preferred for this moment. Being a known name is both a benefit and a hindrance since it limits travels, but allows him to call upon favors and requests of people just based on his name.

[Mars 0]

He continues making his way through the streets making sure to be careful in his approach as he wonders who he should contact to learn of the closing date for the tournament as he wants to make sure he has enough time to gain strength, or if he would be forced to wait another few months or however long it is between tournaments to participate once more. He hears another ding as he looks to his messages wondering why he is being messages once more as he sees it is from the same informant that tells him that lots of famous names will be their. The blood oath blacksmith Macradon, the mystery man Calrex,  the leader of the new Dawn Jomei, someone simply names Hidden which he immediately tells his informant to try and get information on this player. Letting him be hooked into that mystery to see who is behind such a name. He can only wonder how much more interesting this tournament can get if such a collection of people are entering. Of course he only has his eyes set on fighting Stryder to see who is better.

[Mars 0]

After that he focuses once more on traveling again to the lake not allowing anymore distractions since he would prefer to be fighting within the light of the sun or risk having his ability to hit monsters happen. For if he is fighting in the dark he could suffer a light accuracy chance of it being lowered which would be rather annoying if he lets that happen twice back to back. He quickly moves through the darkness of the alleys and side streets that people barely travel. Which just leaves the few NPCs who go about doing some chores or NPC children running around and playing some game that he couldn't care less about. He makes his way past them treating this like a stealth game to stay out of the sights of the NPCs and having varying degrees of success most spotting him, and others not even noticing him which makes him curious what is the difference between spotting him, and not doing so in this event. Probably different numbers and equations put in and calculated faster then he can think which determines such things.

He just focuses on making his way through the town as he starts to see the exit start to appear within a reasonable distance of his map of this city as he can only start picking up the pace of his walk to get to this quest as fast as he can to then get a good rest in after everything today. Doing three quests in one day with minimal breaks for food is rather strenuous on the body, and makes him have to work faster especially if he wishes to get a decent dinner from the inns he is forced to stay at for the time being. Thankfully though the next day will be spent on him making his shop so he can relax finally in peace without noise and drunken laughter bothering him immensely that keeps him up at nights at times do to him not being the most peaceful sleeper. Being a person that wakes up rather easily at the slight noise that could signal danger with such examples being the loud noises of laughter or glasses breaking from drunken men dropping them from their muscles relaxing and unable to keep their glasses within their hands.

[Mars 0]

He eventually actually sees the gate with his own eyes instead of having to look at his map to see where he is in relation to the thing. Once in sight he quickly dashes over towards the exit wishing to leave this place, and to continue his rise to power. To be able to prove his strength to the people of this world in a big show that will be his big showing to the world of Aincrad as he crushes a few no names which he will act gentle towards. Then he will finish off the last opponent that will surely be Stryder with ruthless efficiency as he honestly hopes this Stryder will put up a real fight instead of being a push over. It would be a same for a man of such strength to be nothing more then a insect for him to defeat like every other player he has seen so far around these floors. Cassius looks towards the exit and slips out of the town like a assassin after accomplishing his task. With nobody even noticing him exit the town as far as he knows.

[Mars 0]

He starts walking along the grassy fields as he can already spot the lake in the distance that he can't really see sight of the NPC that is suppose to be near their. However, that makes sense since he is quite far in normal standards of the world, but rather close in terms of the grand layout of the world of Aincrad. With that he just takes his time do to the fact he will make it in time to do every task before the time becomes night if he had done all his calculations correctly. He walks through the field as he allows himself to be lost in a memory to pass the time since otherwise it would be a rather boring walk to be in silence with no thoughts floating within his mind to keep him occupied.

He could remember the day he had started taking acting seriously in all its beaut and talent that he knew. He remembered rehearsing the lines of every part he had gotten, and working through different inflections with his voice and different actions to try and increase the passion and emotion of the line.He remembers dressing up as Romeo at his highschool having spent the whole week memorizing his lines to absolute perfection. The practice of memorizing lines having been added into the other aspects of life allowing him to be able to memorize information just as well as anything else and for it to stick within his mind.

[Mars 0]

"How did you do that? You seemed like you were actually Romeo you had me impressed Cassius. Why don't you try to go into acting i'm sure you would make it far." He can remember his friend Elizabeth telling him as he chuckles softly as he remembers his reply. "Well if i went into acting i would just be another model for character. While acting is rather fun it also strips people to a specific role that they are locked in when they could prefer another. All it takes is one movie or broadway act and they are trapped within that role they nailed perfectly." A clever little lie at the time he had said on spot to avoid saying the true reasons of why he wishes to avoid the acting career. If he went into that he couldn't spend more time perfecting as many skills that he wishes to master before he is sent off into the real world. Then their is the matter of him wishing to gain some followers before he did anything to big. While he is out here in the fields he looks for a material and manages to find one so he picks it up and adds it to his inventory once more gathering something he can use later. Always preparing for the future with what he has to gain with this being towards the purchase of his armor from Aereth.

He continues making his way through the fields as the lake gets closer till he can start seeing where the NPC is which seems to be in the middle of the lake fishing, but is starting to row back towards the land. Most likely the case of the game recognizing that he was a player that was doing this quest so started up the process of allowing him to get prepared finishing this up by making the NPC come back. Seeing the NPC does so he sits on the edge of the lake waiting patiently as he gazes out onto the water that is sparkling with the setting sun casting just enough light onto its surface to create a rather nice effect. He just waits patiently for the NPC as he takes out the quest parcel from his inventory wishing to get this interaction over with as fast as he can when the NPC is within range. The faster he gets done with this NPC's conversation the faster he can begin punching a swordfish which will be interesting since he is meant to be fishing it up for whatever this fisherman has in mind.

[Mars 0]

When Ol'Pete gets to the shore he nods his head and hands him the package, and when he sees the NPC opens it up he is able to see it is a fishing rod which he expected do to that making the most sense for how things have been going. Ohh thank you for getting this for me Lad. However, i need a little help fishing up some big swordfish in this lake. COuld you be good i've gotten to old for reeling in such a big catch that is scaring off the other fish. The NPC asks him in a old tone as he nods his head and speaks in a fake polite tone that sounds real to anybody who would hear it. Of course sir just let me occupy this boat with you to be able to effectively do so. Cassius says with a slight bow  as the old man chuckles at this action. No need to bow sunny come on the boat their is still light to burn to try and capture this fish before it becomes dark outside. The NPC says as he gestures for Cassius to enter the boat which he does so right away and equips all his armor and gear to prepare for the fight with the sword fish. The armor and such replacing his vanity clothing.

[Mars 0]

With that Cassius begins to row out towards the middle of the lake watching the water ripple as the NPC Ol'Pete is setting in the boat also while holding the new rod across his lap to prevent it from touching the water. He can only assume it is to make sure it is in perfect condition for when they try to fihs up the swordfish. To cassius there was only one real question to that though. How fast will this quest mob stand up to him before he makes the creature be defeated for the completion of the quest. Seems like now would be the time to try and see how fast things are going to go as he finds himself in the middle of the lake. he turns his head to the NPC who gives him the fishing rod as he nods his head and throws the hook, and bob that has the bait on it and waits to see if he gets any reaction from the fish that reside in this lake. However, it seems like nothing wishes to take the bite right away which is to be expected since fishing has always been known as an activity of patience.

He feels a sudden tugging as he quickly starts reeling in the line as he can see the water thrashing and moving all about before he sees what he is looking for as the swordfish jumps out of the water as its cursor turns read as he swears he sees the fish look at him. He looks towards it and prepares for the fight as he bends his knees prepared to end this in one strike if his accuracy allows him to be able to do so. He hears the NPC say. "wooahh their that is rather fast you must have strong arms lad. Now it is time to bring this fish onto the boat!" The NPC says rather excitedly as he just nods his head not really paying attention to the words that much since it is just idle game chatter that the Cardinal system is providing to try and mimic real life as close as it is able to do so. Which is pretty close all things considered which makes him curious, and excited if he can ever get his hands on that system to see what it is truly capable.

[Mars 0]

Mars looks to the fish seeing it jump into the air as the sun glistens off of its wet scales as he quickly jumps off of the boat before swing his long around and smacks into it hard with a kick that destroys it shattering it into crystals, but do to the nature of the quest he gets a single quest item called swordfish that immediately gets taken out once he lands on the boat as it is just a dead swordfish now on the boat. With a nod of his head he starts making the boat go back towards the shore wishing to get this quest done and over with so he can force his informants to start finding that man known as Aereth since he has had decent luck in things he does, but in the end having the accuracy is necessary here and now rather then later where the risk of such things would be his life. Cassius looks towards the lake as he rows the boat as he wonders how his attempts at finding a familiar will go, and what familiar this celestial ascendant has since that is the only information he wasn't given since he didn't bother with knowing such a thing. The little details that don't matter an be overlooked all he needed to know what that his familiar is a damage bonus one.

Cassius continues rowing his way back to the shore as he enjoys the simple silence for once over everything else since he has completed what he had wanted within these three days. He had gotten his profession, destroyed a boulder, and done all the lessons quests that were available for him to accomplish. Next their is the task of getting within touch of the Celestial Ascendant Itzal, and the tailor Aereth to work on prepping himself for battle. Once he reaches the shore he gets out of the boat and opens his menu and goes to his friends list and clicks on the name Amaline as he messages her. "How goes the search for the tailor Aereth? I've completed things on schedule i hope you are managing to do so also." he asks his informant not fearing to show his more plain manner of speaking to her since that is supposedly what she searched for when looking for a boss. One that wasn't afraid to speak the blunt expectations that must be reached to give no slack at all. Surprisingly he gets a positive response "You know it Boss the man is in this exact location happy hunting" He gets back from her as he nods his head glad that he managed to find someone that is actually reliable.

[Mars 0]

After that he looks towards the NPC that is taking the swordfish out of the boat which he helps with doing moving it on over towards Ol'Pete's house where he was guiding him to go through the movements of where he was going and leading this fish to. Cassius open the door for the two as they enter the nice little place the old man has as Cassius sets the fish upon the table as he looks to Ol'Pete. So what now? Why did you have me bring it to your home sir? He asks keeping the polite tone of voice even though he is rather irritated and just wished to get this quest over with to get some food in him, and to get some sleep as the dark of night is starting to set onto the fields. The NPC nods his head and says to him. Just wait kiddo it will be a surprise will worth the wait of it. He tells Cassius who just nods his head with a smile visibly while wishing to harm this NPC on the inside.

[Mars 0]

With that the NPC heads to the back of his shop leaving Cassius once more in the silence of his thoughts as he leans against the table while staring to the outside world of where the moon is out and the stars are shining. He grins slightly and enjoys the sight of this since while he does enjoy the destruction and mayhem taking he moments like this to appreciate the ingenuity of the lifelike scenes is beautiful in every way out their. He knows he could be spending better moments spent planning like this, but he is currently at a point where that is not possibly at all since he has planned out everything he could want to happen for himself. Their is only the matter of acting on it now, and with that he is left waiting for NPCs to do their work while he gets to enjoy the moment of it all for once in this game instead of being constantly working. However, the same is never true for his informants who he makes sure works as hard as they can since their is lots of information together. If he isn't on top of it all he could miss something rather important to how he can use people.

[Mars 0]

He continues waiting for a little bit longer till the NPC comes back with some kind of meal for him to have as he sets it in front of Cassius that gets added to his inventory as the game does a little congratulations reward pop-up for him completing the quest as he closes that prompt and looks towards Ol'Pete. Their you go kid eat that and it will give you the clarity you need to have that edge in combat. The NPC tells him as Cassius nods his head. Thank you for the help sir, but i now must make my leave since it is rather late. Cassius says respectfully as he shakes the NPCs hand to keep the image of a good Samaritan as the NPC nods his head in understanding and wishes him a good life, and night with Cassius reciprocating the goodbye. After that he exits the shop and takes a deep breathe and looks around the area glad to be done with this quest with it now time to head back home to the inns.

[Mars 0]

He starts making his way across the fields of grass as he equips some vanity clothing of black with a trenchcoat over his clothing with some pockets. He puts his hands in the pockets with a smile glad that this game is so useful in those terms of things. To be able to be comfortable in normal clothing instead of having to wear armor the entire time would be the most uncomfortable thing possible especially for players that wear the heavy armor sets. Cassius chuckles a bit at the thought of beds breaking being a common phenomenon do to the weight of heavy armor breaking the beds each night. He just continues on his way through the plains back towards the town of beginning as he looks towards the sky as he smiles hearing a faint memory. "Mommy? What is up their in the sky" He could practically see it played before him as he sees a young version of him pointing up towards the stars next to his mother with raven black hair, and the most beautiful blue eyes he could imagine. "Those are the stars sweety. They light up the night to give us guidance. Maybe when you get older you can be able to reach them one day" her sweet voice told him as he smiles. "Wowwww really! Well one day i will reach the stars just you wait!" he chuckles at that as he guesses he is fulfilling that promise. Just in the manner of his name going to be come famous enough to be with the stars. The celebrities of the real world.
