[F1-SP] A festering problem <<secret medicine of the forest>>

[Mars 0]

He wakes up within the inn that is on the first floor and makes his way through the town of beginning as he prepares for the long journey that is ahead of him since he will be traveling between towns which is a particularly long and annoying distance that he will have to travel to just travel even more to some type of forest that is in this quest. Hopefully things will go more smoothly then what he had to do yesterday to make up for what he had learned. Cassius makes his way through the streets that are relatively empty when compared to the streets during the evening that are crowded enough to make it difficult to get anywhere at all in this town. He keeps his hand in his pockets just wearing his regular vanity clothing while he is walking figuring he is strong enough to kill any mob that he comes across on this floor to the point where anything that would attack him would have no chance at all against his strength compared to mobs on this floor.

He continues along the street heading towards the exit of the town while looking around with idle curiosity as he wonders what other members are within the New Dawn run by Stryder. Which is something he had learned to correct since it seemed his informants were not perfect in telling him the actual guild the current Hero Jomei he is apart of. He will allow them one mistake since he can understand where the confusion can be built since they are rather similar and would be better off going through a merger to try and grow stronger instead of having the separated factions that would be better working together. Again Cassius can only wonder how these players keep from killing each other after forming the idea their is a them, and their is others group to them. Which is quite surprising and telling that these players are better then some countries at least since such a mentality of forming different guilds could lead to some type of war like conflict. Which happens in the real world, but not hear yet from what he knows.

With that he continues down through the streets and exits the town as he makes his way towards the town where he can begin the secret medicine of the forest quest that is found in another town entirely which will be quite a distance to  travel with this being a single day of work to put into. Which bothers him for his quest progression, but is a sacrifice he is willing to make in the end since he can get back on his actual want of beating every quest on each floor before moving onto the next which he had filled when he had to get another order from the tailor Hei. Which he hopes is able to craft them by the time he gets back towards the town of beginning. If not then he will be rather annoyed at having to jump around more then he is already comfortable with in his quest choices if that player he met...Pinball if he remembers correctly doesn't wish to join up with him again.

He makes his way across the open fields of the first floor keeping his eyes peeled for any mobs that come across the main path since it is almost guaranteed for that to be the case with the distance being so great to not fight an enemy would be against all rational numbers for him to go against. He looks around the area and spots a few boars walking about as he quickly looks away not finding them of importance since he knows they wouldn't stand much of a fight against him if they decided to actually attack him. He look towards the sky as he wonders what he can do to actually pass the time between one area to the next since he doesn't have much to think about beyond just thinking on his past which doesn't help him much. The past just being a chain that people must have the strength to shrug away. That each person should only take away from the past the lessons that they can learn, but to forget most of everything else since the emotions that are attached could cloud their judgement and make them irrational.

[Mars 0]

He looks around as he sees some players out bright and early improving themselves and seemingly looking for items as they either look around the ground or are killing boar pups. Seems like another batch of players doing the first two lesson quests that he can see. He just nods his head that at least players are doing things that are worth their time that is actually doing quests to improve their strength within groups to protect themselves from being killed by player killers that would aim to kill the weak, or from being overwhelmed by mobs that could attack them if they didn't have any area of effect attacks like he had.

He looks away from the players and continues down the long path with no town in sight from where he is at with the town he is heading towards being hours away from his current position which makes this walk a rather long and boring one for himself until he finds something that could be a source of entertainment for him to watch or put his focus upon.

After hours of walking with not that much change in scenery except for a slowly forming forest and city within the distance he finally arrives to the town that the quest is suppose to start in which he quickly enter this town and starts heading towards the building where it is meant to start. He can only hope that the walk to this place will be worth the weight of everything  in terms of levels since the item reward is literally useless to him since he doesn't even uses swords. While walking through the town with barely any builds to even call it was such he spots the one he is meant to enter a rather simple two story building which he knocks upon. After a bit a woman comes out of the building and looks down at him. Yes hello i heard i can help with the recent spot of trouble this town has been having. he says in a polite tone as the NPC seems to brighten immediately. Oh thank you! You see people have just been getting sick with no cure except for this one item. It requires you to kill some nasty creatures in the forest nearby, but well none of us are warriors so we haven't been able to cure these people. The woman says in a mix of excitement and panic to him.

He just nods his head and hits the accept quest button before doing a bow for leaving and makes his way towards the forest quickly exiting the town just like how he entered it moments before.

As he leaves the town he grins as he is excited to start actually fighting as none of the mobs he has run across have actually wished to fight him which is rather disappointing and shows just how weak they truly are if they can't handle a opponent like him. More so it was smart, but kind of pathetic they are programmed to run from players who are to strong which has made his walk boring. However, now he has something to release all this pent up annoyance on that he will deal with. While walking through the grassy fields as he head towards the forest he wanders what that one player he met is going to do since he seemed suspicious for certain. He frowns and wonders what he has managed to do wrong to get that shy timid person so uneasy? Was it mannerisms did he truly fall behind that much in almost a year that he is not use to mimicking people who actually care? Whatever it is he will snuff it out at the root of the problem and then work once more at gaining back that person's loyalty so they won't say anything if anything comes up.

[Mars 0]

He enters into the treeline of the forest as the light starts becoming scarce as their is only the darkness the leaves and branches can provide as he continues making his way towards the location of where the quest is meant to be located at. He looks around as he is ready for combat mentally and with how his armor armor is equipped which makes it so their isn't time wasted in preparation if he gets jumped by some monster on his way towards his fight. As he gazes around the forest he can see some animals backing away in fear while others just stare at him as he continues on his way ignoring these weak mongrels of wolves, or useless pork chops that are the boar pups as he only really cares for the Nepents. Wanting to kill of that so he can make his way towards the second floor and try to take that floor by storm with hopefully more quests that are interesting unlike these basic quests for this floor. However, he can't expect much from this floor since it is meant for beginners.

[Mars 0]

As he continues going deeper he can hear some kind of movement as he quickly raises his fists and observes the field as he gets ready to knock whatever comes out far out as best he can to beat these annoying menaces. He keeps his eyes peeled till he spots what he is looking for four large plants things with root legs, a weird big mouth, and tentacles arms with most likely dangerous leaves at the end of them. He grins as the two Nepents come out towards him as he quickly kicks off the ground wanting to try and end them before they even have a chance to stop him. He quickly dashes over to them and starts punching them as fast and hard as he can punching both with five strikes each as they then shatter into nothing soon after the quick assault as he looks at the scene and grins. Rather easy two defeated. Now to wait for the boss. He says as he keeps his senses focused on his surroundings to prepare him for whenever the boss is going to make itself known.

The variant doesn't disappoint as the ground shakes as what he thought was a flower shoots out from he ground which becomes the Nepent Variant as it stares down at him as he looks unimpressed at this monster as he gets ready once more to end this in one hit if he can do so he bends his knees once more getting into position to attack this rather weak looking boss he quickly kicks off the ground as his little accuracy buff items glows as he knees the Nepent in the stomach and then chops what could be its neck as it shatters into nothing like the other Nepents. However, no item no nothing is given to him. he stares at the ground and grits his teeth in frustration as he gets robbed of his completion of the quest. Just like he suspected this is going to be one of those long and annoying quests it seems to be. He takes a deep breathe and focusing on finding more Nepents so he can kill them all to show them no mercy when they face a war god.

As he looks around very soon more Nepents walk into the area as he quickly kicks off of the ground and starts throwing lefts and rights at these creatures putting in his frustration and anger into every strike wishing to put these creatures done here and now without any mercy to them. He looks to the creatures as he swings his fist alternating between the two Nepents bouncing back and forth between the two enemies. However, it seems one is smart enough to use its leaves to make him back away before he can strike or re-position his hands to be slightly off from the mark. The other one not so smart as he strikes the other one each time with renewed devastation to the creature until finally it shatters into millions of tiny crystals. Once that is done he turns his head towards the other one and then quickly dodges the attack that was coming towards him. Two razer sharp leaves leaving grooves along the ground.

He quickly thinks of his energy input and frowns knowing he is on half a tank at this moment which leaves a way to try and think of having to try and kill this nuisance once more. However, unlucky for him he doesn't have a familiar to help boost his power that one tick of damage to allow him to kill these annoyances with just a regular attack at this moment.  Thinking on that he quickly dashes forward planning to attack with the damage dealer since using ones with a effect would have no use since the Nepent won't survive this turn if he can get his way. He quickly goes to the nepent and tries to knee it like he did the variant, but this one quickly pushes off the ground with its leaves. What the [censor]! He says in annoyance as he clenches his fists and hits them together with rage burning in his eyes as he drops all inhibitions. You're in a world of hurt you [censor] flower! He says as he bends backward to avoid being bisected at the chest by the flower.

He looks to the creature and grins as he charges forward without any plan just going to make sure this thing hurts for being a nuisance longer then it had deserved to live. He watches the creature about to jump and does so preemptively and then drives my knees into its body as it tried to leave the ground. Driving the Nepent into the ground and then doing a punch as hard as i can to its face. The creature bursts into nothing like the rest as he takes a deep calming breathe before focusing on his surroundings knowing the Variant shouldn't be that far if its minions were that close by. He observes his surroundings to the tiny little detail to try and find the odd thing out. From the rocks and how they look, to the blades of grass, and especially the flowers since the quest had informed him that the Nepent variants can have flower like thing on their head.

He looks around the field his eyes once more looking for the item that would be out of place within this area of the forest, but finds nothing with his eyesight to try and spot the enemy that could be hidden away. He frowns but soon hears the sound of something shifting nearby he quickly starts turning and looking for anything and everything that could give away the location of the incoming Variant. He doesn't get the see the variant not until it attacks him forcing him to dodge out of the way by back flipping away from the attack. Once he lands in a crouched position he kicks off the ground towards the Nepent with a grin on his face before slamming his knee into the Nepent just like the others, and just like the others slamming his fist hard diagonaly downwards causing the creature to shatter.

He takes a deep breathe to steady his breathing and heart rate before looking to see if he got the item and clenches his fists tightly as it shows up negative. He turns to the nearest tree and punches it hard with annoyance. Great now i am being forced to rest before continuing this accursed quest. He says in annoyance before sitting down away from the tree that his a crack in it from him punching it.

He sits down on the ground and lays on his back as he looks towards the sky figuring that while he is being forced to wait he may as well try to be as comfortable as possible to hopefully make the time past faster then it actually is. He glances around the area at all the trees and leaves blowing gently in the breeze that is faintly their. The breeze most likely not being that strong since he is in a forest which will cause the wind to be very much so lessened from all the obstacles that would be blocking it from getting anywhere into it. He thinks on what to do with that man Pinball who is going to be a problem for himself. He certainly was suspicious of him, and could have the potential of acting irrationally if given the opportunity to do such a thing. Hopefully he can find a way to convince that player, or to find a way to silence him before he could try to give any players false ideas that would be true to other players that he knows. 

1/3 turns out of combat.

He sighs softly as he waits patiently for his energy to regenerate as he watches the bar idly fill up during his wait as he wonders how long it will take to actually complete the quest if his luck of such things will continue to keep up. If anything maybe he might get lucky enough to find a few of those treasure chests he had heard are around if he keeps his eyes pealed during times between fights or possibly even now. He looks around and sees some idle mobs walking about be it the deer or foxes that are keeping a wide distance around from where he is. Most likely frightened by his strength that keeps them at bay, and how he has done nothing to aggro the creatures in any particular fashion. Rather interesting how the programming for such things work from his perspective. That sometimes the creatures can just come out and attack at any moment, but at others be as passive as a squirrel to a casual observer. It certainly creates a rather unique atmosphere of tension of not knowing when a attack could come for certain, but also helps create the illusion of a real world also. He wonders if this was according to some plan or if the AI is starting to develop on its own.

2/3 turns out of combat

[Mars 0]

He looks towards his energy and health bar once more and sees them both at maximum, so he gets up off of the ground and prepares once more for another round of fighting and putting plants in their place. He adjusts his gauntlets idly as he can only hope that tailor manages to finish up his order sometime soon or he might be put in a rather bad place since he will be left without weapons or gear without the ability to fight back against the stronger mobs that could be waiting on the later floors. Furthermore, it will definitely hinder his progress at being able to handle any players that could gain the idea that attacking him could be a good idea. He nods his head and makes a note to send a informant to check up on that man in the Hangar to make sure he hasn't forgotten about his order, or at the very least for them to figure out where the delay is coming from. Time is the difference between life and death so time is something he can't afford to waste.

3/3 turns passed full energy regen

He looks around the field and watches as two Nepents come forward as he nods his head and bends his legs slightly once more like the previous times trying to end these Nepents in one attack however it seems the universe does enjoy teasing him about that. Always leaving just one except for the first time where he had been rather lucky on that end of things. He sees the grotesque plants with their big mouths and bladed leaves enter the clearing as he then charges forward towards them preparing his barrage of fists. He quickly starts swinging his left and right fist as fast as it could possibly be for him as he stares these creatures down. However, ever fist missed both of the creatures as he grits his teeth in frustration at this as he then backflips out of the way before tucking and rolling backwards avoiding the razor sharp blades that were trying to attack him from both of the Nepents. One i can understand, but both! Now you both have done it. The War god demands amends to be made. The price will be your slow death if it wasn't for this game. He says in complete anger letting his aggressive side come out as he prepares for combat once more.

He looks towards the Nepents and dashes towards them intending to end them for good as he quickly switches between the two beings pivoting between the two in his formation of attacks within moments one of the Nepents burst into crystals signaling its defeat. The other one lives having dodged each punch he had sent towards the being. He grits his teeth in frustration and backs away as fast as he can do so as the Nepent goes in for the attack, but it misses him entirely not even getting close to his body as he grins a bit at that at such a big miss of an attack. He looks towards the plant creature ready to try and finish this with one normal strike when he sees the best opening. Their is only the matter of hoping that he gets the critical strike he is hoping to achieve so he can try to preserve his energy for the actual fight that is the variant and hoping that he can actually get the loot he is trying to get.

He quickly runs forward towards the creature with a grin on his face as he then jumps forward hoping the extra little boost from pushing off of the ground would be enough to land a hit upon this creature. He watches the leaf tentacles things that the creature uses to attack start to retract back towards it as he then swings his fist punching the creature just barely hitting its side as it gets pushed back ever so slightly from the strike as he can see the health lower down into the red. he nods at his success and suddenly feels two leaves slice his arms as he looks towards the leaves the creature has, and then towards its possibly big grinning face. He glares at the Nepent before punching his right fist into the open palm of his left hand. Good job getting a hit on me ugly that is more then the quest boss wind wasp could say, and it was stronger then you in every way. He says with a slight chuckle as he slowly starts to enjoy this slightly endless fight that this quest could provide him.
