Alec's swing at the second Boar Pup had missed due to the Boar Pup lunging at Alec at the last second. The result had been that both he and the Boar Pup had missed each other. Alec Drew his Battle Axe back over his head and took another derp calming breath to keep his muscles fueled with oxygen and center his focus on the attack attempt at hand. As Alec finished his breath he lifted his Battle Axe over his head and drove it toward the back of the third Boar Pup in an attempt to split it in two as he would a leave piece of wood. Alec's Battle Axe dropped toward the Boar Pup with astonishing speed.

Alec's Battle Axe fell astonishingly fast toward the back of the third Boar Pup. Unfortunately Alec lost his focus at the last moment and his axe buried itself in the dirt right next to the Boar Pup. The Boar Pup responded by lunging at Alec and striking him in the arm where the Boar Pup's tusk opened a tiny rent in Alec's right arm spilling a tiny stream of red pixels into the air. Alec gritted his teeth and redirected his focus. He needed to keep his concentration or he'd never finish these last two Boar Pups. The second Boar Pup charged at Alec but he side stepped the animal at the last second causing it to miss.

Having buried his Battle Axe in the dirt and just missing the Boar Pup Alec grunted as he heaved his axe out the ground where he had sunk it deeply. Alec gave a grunt as he wrenched the Battle Axe free if the ground. He glanced at the large crescent blade to ensure he had not damaged the blade. That was the last thing he needed, to damage or break his only weapon. Alec say with his glance that the blade was intact and appeared to show no damage. Thankfully the game rules were not the same as real life. Otherwise his Battle Axe would require some serious sharpening before it would be of maximum effectiveness. Alec let out a deep breath and thought "What the heck." He heaved his Battle Axe up and swung it back behind him pinwheeling it in an attempt to deliver a massive under hand upper cut strike the the chest and neck of the second Boar Pup.

The Boar Pup let out a squeal of pain as a large rent was opened in its flesh allowing a solid stream of red pixels to flow from the sound. The Boar Pup swing its tusks toward Alec but came up short on its attack. The second Boar Pup also missed slashing Alec with its tiny needle like tusks.

Having successfully delivered a massive uppercut to the second Boar Pup Alec wrenched his double bladed Battle Axe free of the Boar Pups chest. The Boar Pup squealed and attempted to gore Alec with it's tiny tusk. The blow landed short and left the Boar Pup looking more like it was shaking it's head at Alec instead of trying to impale him with its tusks. Alec took a step back with his right foot and set his stance firmly. He bent his knees and twisted to his left at the waist bringing his Battle Axe up high over his left shoulder. With a grunt of exertion he twisted his hips to the right to increase his axes momentum and brought his Battle Axe down toward the third Boar Pup in a sweeping back hand strike. Attempting to smash his double bladed Battle Axe into the Boar Pups right shoulder.

Alec's sweeping back hand strike drove deeply into the Boar Pups right shoulder and sunk deeply causing the Boar Pup to explode in a shower of red pixels that blasted into the air and rained down eventually disapating into nothing. Alec set himself and prepared to finish the last Boar Pup. This one was slippery and kept making Alec miss. The second Boar Pup charged in and found a gap in Alec's armor as he was focused on the other Boar Pup.

Alec squinted his eyes at the line remaining Boar Pup. This little bugger was proving to be a difficult one. He was flashing back to jokes he'd heard at home about farmers and catching greased up pigs. Alec wasn't sure this Boar Pup was greased but it was sure a slippery son of a gun! So far he had only managed to land a single hit to it so far. Lucky for him he had also avoided several attacks and the few that had managed to score a hit had been greatly reduced by his Reinforced Heavy Iron Breastplate. His armor had thankfully taken the brunt of the damage so far. Alec narrowed his gaze and stared intently at the last of the Boar Pups. "I will defeat you." Alec thought as he reset his feet for a firmer more solid base. Alec bent his knees slightly as he hefted his one handed Battle Axe over his head. With a grunt of exertion Alex dropped his hips and drove his Battle Axe downward towards the last of the Boar Pups.

Alec brought his Battle Axe down towards the Boar Pup who danced nimbly out of the way causing the axe to bury itself in the dirt again. The Boar Pup in turn lunged at Alec attempting to gore him with it's small juvenile tusks. The Boar Pups lunge was awkward also missed as it lunged past Alec and landed behind him. The two of seemed to be dancing the most awkward and clumsy dance of all time!

Having missed the Boat Pup yet again Alec swore silently to himself. This tiny pig was proving to be exceptionally frustrating to Alec. A random thought danced through Alec's thoughts "Had the other Players this type of difficulty in their beginnings as well?" Alec chuckled as a fleeting image danced across his vision. The Front Lines team greats like Itzal, Neopolitan, Hestia, Shield Hikoru Calrax and many other names and like stumbling and bumbling around being tormented by a tiny piglet. Alec chuckled ruefully then shook his head. "No. This was his problem there was no chance that the greats had ever suffered like this!" This just proved to Alec further he had a long long road to travel before he could even think of attempting to approach one of the Front Liners and ask to stand in their midst and fight at their sides. Alec looked to Boar Pup and thought to it "All right piglet. I've had enough of you!" With that Alec wrenched his Battle Axe free of the dirt and heaved it up over his head and bellowed as he drove the axe downward willing with all his might that the axe should connect.

Alec drove all of his will and forced it behind his strike. His Battle Axe dove speedily towards the Boar Pup and sank deeply into its hide the Boar let out a squeal as the axe opened up a split in its hide that burst forth a spray of red pixels as the Boar Pups hit point bar lessened but remained green. The downfall of putting so desire and focus into striking the Boar Pup had left Alec open. The Boar Pup charged in and rammed it's small tusks into Alec's side finding a home in his armors defenses. A small gash opened up in Alec's side as a small stream of red pixels escaped his flesh.

Having finally managed to score a second hit on this last Boar Pup. Alec yanked his double crescent bladed Battle Axe free of the last remaining Boar Pups hide. Unfortunately the Boar Pup had managed to land it's own strike and those tusks though small had proven to be exceptionally sharp. Almost being stuck with needles. Alec forced his mind to calm and set his focus on the task at hand. He had one Boat Pup left to slay and this little guy was a tough slippery little one. Alec eyed the Boar Pup aggressively and leaped toward it swinging his Battle Axe in a wide sweeping stroke that brought his axe in hard, high and from his right. This one would land, he knew it, he felt it in his soul.

Alec felt it derp within the very essence of his being that his next strike would hit and he was correct. His Battle Axe's flight was true and it struck deeply into the Boar Pup. Yet another slice opened up in the Boar Pups hide and even more red pixels jetted from the wound. The Boar Pups hit point meter dropped into the red and began flashing. Alec had nearly to strike it once more to finish it off! Alec had been day dreaming and list his focus "Stupid, stupid!" Alec berated himself as the Boar Pup retaliated and again drove it's short needed like tusks into Alec side below his Breastplate. He had to remember to keep focused. If this were a higher level mob Alec could easily end up dead I'd he kept day dreaming like this

The dance between Alec and the Boar Pup had sped up and become more deadly. It had also begun to draw towards a close Alec hoped. These tiny pin pricks of damage from the Boar Pup weren't deadly in and of themselves but with enough of them Alec could be wideled away to nothing and die from a thousand tiny cuts as easily as from one massive stroke. Alec stepped back and adjusted his stance gaining a firmer footing fir himself. He eyed the Boar Pup menacingly as they circled and danced for a position of advantage. Finally Alec stopped his circling feeling he had gained the right advantage over his target and dove forward one hand Battle Axe flashing in the sun of the grassy plains where he fought. The Battle Axe soared through the air hungry to bite into the flesh of the Boar Pup again.

Well Alec lamented. There was an old saying two out of three ain't bad. That bitter sweet thought made Alec shakes his head ruefully. The fight hadn't been terribly hard just long and drawn out. He'd definitely need to look into something that would grant him a better chance of hitting. Maybe an Accuracy trinket or an axe with some Accuracy and Damage added to it as Enhancements. Heck if he could find a decent shield that reflected damage would even help out. Whatever he could do to increase the amount of times he hit and if he could return damage when hit it would greatly change the way any future fights were to play out. Enough thoughts of the future. Alec needed to focus on the here and now and here and now Alec needed to find one more Boar Pup Tusk for Mr Lyle Tealeaf and deliver them to his shop. "Well." thought Alec as he hefted his Battle Axe from the ground onto his shoulder he turned to look around and see if he could spot any more Boar Pups on the horizon. As Alec scanned his surroundings he thought he heard a sound of snuffling coming from over the next rise. Maybe that would be more big the Boar Pups he was looking for.

As Alec climbed over the next rise he looked down into the exposed valley and saw three more Boar Pups rooting in the ground for roots and bugs just like the last batch had been. "Well." thought Alec. "They may have gotten the coffee right but it seems they just kind of cut and pasted when it came to these Boar Pups." Either way, now was not the time to compliment or critic the game developers level of creativity or lack there of. Now was the time to focus on these three new Boar Pups and how he was going to beat them. Alec had heard people talk about Sword Arts and how much damage they could deliver to a target and how some of them damaged more than one target. "Maybe now's the Time to try one." Alec thought. He pulled up his overlay and quickly scrolled through and saw he had two Sword Arts. The first was Hack an extra damage dealing single target attack. The second Sword Art he had was the one he was looking for it was titled Crescent Thrush. It was a wide sweeping arc that would attack all enemies within range. Alec had just enough Energy to hit all three but this needed to be a hit or Alec might be in trouble.

With his decision made Alec adjusted his footing and braced himself in a solid stance. Alec then began to focus and draw energy into his Battle Axe. He felt his Battle Axe begin to tingle ever so faintly at first. Slowly and steadily the tingle began to build until it great from a tingle to a steady thrum that began to vibrate throughout Alec's body. The thrum became a palpable vibration coating through Alec's entire body till he thought he might explode or vibrate apart. At this point the double crescent heads of Alec's Battle Axe began to faintly glow. The glow grew and increased until a visible light was shed from the matching blades. When the vibration and illumination had reached a crescendo Alec let out a howl of challenge as he lept skyward and soared high into the air. Upon reaching the peak of his jump Alec looked down and set his sights at a point amidst the three Boar Pups. Alec drove towards his mark like a heat seeking missile. As he landed in the Boar Pups midsts he let out another cry as he swept his Battle Axe a wide sweeping arc and yelled "CRESCENT THRUSH!!!"

Alec flew towards his mark like a rocket. As Alec approached his mark his excitement switched eagerness to dread. He had miscalculated drastically. Alec tried to switch his body position and recorrect for his missed landing trajectory but he realized quickly that would never work. Alec made contact with the ground and as he had intended to release the energy in his axe in a sweeping arc what really happened was Alec collided with the ground and his body bent into a scorpion. His cry of "CASCADE THRUSH!!!" came out more like "CASCADE TTHHRRRUUUUFFFFFF!!!!" as all the air was knocked out of Alec's body. All three of the Boar Pups were startled by this most graceful of landings. One of which took the opportunity to charge at the strange entrance and impale it with it's small sharp tusks. A small gash was opened in the man an a small amount of life force represented as glowing red pixels leaked out if the wound. The Boar Pup snorted and raked it's hooves against the ground in challenge.

Having failed miserably on his attempt at a Sword Art, Alec stood wiping dust and dirt from himself. Mortification his only friend as a result of the epically pathetic attempt to attack the group of Boar Pups. If any other living soul had seen him he would never have been able to show his face in public again. Alec knew after this that his journey if every he could come close to the end of it would take much longer than he had hoped. He knew it was a long way off till he could finally stand amongst the Front Line Players but if he still couldn't unleash a first level Sword Art his journey hadn't even begun. Alec steeled himself after his miserable attempt at a Sword Art and vowed to stick to basics. Simple basic swing attacks, nothing fancy till he got a hang of this better.

Alec steeled his resolve after his pitiful attempt at a Sword Art, vowing to keep to basic attacks. It appeared he had not fully overcome his feelings of inadequacy because his thoughts were elsewhere as he swung his Battle Axe and missed the Boar Pup he had been aiming for. Only shear luck caused the Boar Pup to miss as well. Thankfully. The second Boar Pup charged in and missed and while Alec was focused on that the remaining Boar Pup charged in and slashed its tiny tusks against Alec's opening a small cut.

Alec's second attempt at combat really wasn't going any smoother than his first, much to his chagrin. So far he had missed on a Sword Art attack and a basic attack. Thus was not looking well for him. Maybe if he picked up some skills like First Said he could be of use to the Front Line Players and the Raid Team, because as it looked now attacking monsters and doing damage was not something he seemed to be able to get the hang of. But Alec was not one to give up when faced with long odds and a means of continuing. As long as he had a pulse he would continue to stand and fight for all he was worth. Alec ground his teeth together and fortified his resolve he was here for a purpose and that purpose at this moment was to defeat some Boar Pups. Alec widened his stance, bent his knees, and cocked his right holding his Battle Axe. Alec focused on his target the third Boar Pup and with that swung down towards the Boar Pup with an overhand downward swing.

Alec swung again at one of the Boar Pups and again his swing went wide striking the dirt just to the left of the Boar Pup. The Boar Pup was startled by the struck and as such also missed it's lunge at Alec. Alec mused to himself from an outside perspective this either looked like an epic Battle of swing and miss and counter and miss, or an epic fail of a Battle with all parties involved flailing around and contorting like they were all suffering from a group seizure. Alec hoped it was the former but feared it was the later. The second Boar Pup to attack sprinted in and slashed Alec with its tusks causing Alec to jolt which in turn caused the last Boar Pup to miss in its charge at Alec.

Again Alec swung and again he missed but vice versa again a Boar Pup had lunged but it too had missed. This dance of theirs continued it seemed swing and miss lunge and miss. If this was to be the way of it Alec would continue until either the Boar Pups were dead, Alec fell over dead or someone came along and either ridiculed Alec to death or dealt with these damnable Boar Pups. Alec began to feeling he would spend the remained of his time stuck here in Aincrad locked in an endless battle with this group of Boar Pups. Wouldn't that be a sight to see Alec mused as he chuckled to himself. A larger than average sized man locked in an eternal Battle with three tiny adolescent boars.

Alec swung mightily with his Battle Axe one more time this time he was rewarded with a solid connection to one of the Boar Pups. His crescent blade bit derp into the Boar Pups hide causing a rent that expelled red pixels of health. The Boar Pups health bar dipped but stayed in the green. The Boar Pup squealed in rage and lurched forward madened by pain and dug it's adolescent tusks into Alec's side opening yet another tiny gash to leak out red pixels of health as Alec's Hit Point bar dropped by one more. The other two Boar Pups tried to charge at the same time and ended up side swiping each other and getting tangled up in each others hooves and ending in a twisted pile of baby pig legs.

Alec made a connection with his Battle Axe to one of the Boar Pups, but the Boar Pup had also connected with him. Their wounds weren't severe more an annoyance that slowly winnowed away at his life and Hit Points. Alec took another deep breath to focus himself. He would not battle these Boar Pups till the game was cleared he would finish them here and now and make his way to stand amongst the Front Line Players in the Raid Team. That was his goal realised and Alec would not let anything especially a tutorial quest mob stand in his way. Alec eyed his next target and took it's measure. It was small and agile, likely to dodge and prone to bring missed. That was it's strength and so Alec would attempt to make that it's weakness. Alec raised his Battle Axe up over his head again and kept his eye trained on the Boar Pup the whole time he brought his axe down.

Alec kept his eye on the Boar Pup but when he anticipated the Boar Pup dodging left it went right instead. It's defensive algorithms must have randomized he was sure it was going to dodge left. The Boar Pup repaid his error with a lunge to his exposed side and buried it's needle like tusks into Alec's exposed flank opening a tiny tear in his leg causing a slight stream of red pixels to again escape his body. The second Boar Pup charged in and smashed its body into Alec causing minor jarring to him while the last Boar Pup ran forward and miss judged to angle and missed hitting Alec in the fray.

The Battle was wearing on and becoming drawn out. Alec was fighting against odds and needed to finish the fight quickly or the odds would eventually wear him down and beat him. It was only a matter of time. Alec focused on his next Boar Pup target and tried to gauge it movements to glean some form of insight into to patterns and likely movements. Alec shifted his feet to adjust to the Boar Pups movements. He shifted his weight accordingly to attempt to preordain it's likely reaction. Then hoisted his Battle Axe up and when felt he was ready he exhaled deeply as he swung his Battle Axe in a smooth descending arc towards the milling Boar Pup. Alec prayed he was reading the situation correctly as he brought his axe to bear towards the Boar Pup.

Alec had judged correctly this time. As his Battle Axe streaked down towards the Boar Pup it's crescent blade bit deeply into to Boat Pup and Alec was rewarded with a squeal and a spray of red pixels as the Boar Pups health bar dipped but stayed in the green. The Boar Pup lashed out blindly at Alec but missed him completely in its haste to strike back. The second Boar Pup streaked in and slammed into Alec before dodging away while the last Boar Pup was too slow in making contact with Alec due to the mayhem.

Another hit by Alec to one of Boar Pups meant he was one hit closer to defeating these squirmy little creatures. Alec was reminded of another saying from home "Hearding cats." Alec thought. That is exactly what this felt like! These Boar Pups would dodge and duck and dip and dive and dodge. If any action Alec had ever been more like herding cats than this he could not think of it right now. That was for sure! He chuckled ruefully at the entire situation. He couldn't let it get to him this was only game after all. A Death Game that he was trapped in but a game none the less. Alec planted his feet firmly in the ground with his weight shifted to the balls of his feet for easy movement and quicker reaction time. He hoisted his Battle Axe up high above his head and as he eyed the Boar Pup and gauged it's next move he sprung into action like a coiled spring and whipped the Battle Axe down toward his current Boar Pup target.

Alec whipped his Battle Axe down toward the first Boar Pup but again the Boar Pup skipped out of the way at the last second before Alec's Battle Axe could connect. The Boar Pup lurched at Alec but missed him with it's tusks and skidded to a stop beside Alec. And so the Battle continues Alec mumbled to himself and the Boat Pups. The second Boar Pup shot in and snagged Alec with its tusks tearing a small gash in his skin. The remaining Boar Pup ran forward but missed hitting Alec due to all the confusion.

Alec's epic war with the Boar Pups continued. His progress was negligible but at least he had made some progress. The Boar Pups had sustained more damage than he himself had taken which was always preferable. The trick though was to ensure they took more damage he needed to optimize his attack patterns so as to hit more times. As it was his hit percentage was pitifully low. Alec took another moment to size up his latest Boar Pup target. He slid his feet into a more comfortable position and rotated his hand on the handle of his Battle Axe for a more comfortable grip. Then he lifted the Battle Axe high into the air and with one swift fluid motion brought the Battle Axe down in a quick firm chopping motion.

Alec's quick firm chopping dropped the Battle Axe square on the Boar Pups back. The crescent blade sink deeply into the Boar Pup which squealed in pain as red pixels representing its life essence spouted from the wound in its back. The Boar Pup reeled in pain and tried to counter attack with it's needle sharp tusks but missed at the last second and came up short of sinking them in to Alec's flesh.

Alec dared to hope that he was getting the hang of combat and using his Battle Axe. So far he had managed to damage all three Boar Pups once no he just needed a few more really solid hits and he'd be done. These Boar Pups had proven a tricky lot for Alec. No wonder Lyle Tealeaf was needing their tusks. Their tusks had proven to be immensely sharp and would make an invaluable additional to any Blacksmith creation. Especially a shield with the Thorns ability. Those darn little things really smarted when jabbed by one that was for sure. Alec cleared his thoughts and took a deep breath to help as he inspected the next Boar Pup he planned on attacking. Once he felt he had its measure locked he he reset his stance and foot placement to a more comfortable position. Then he shifted his grip to all for a better swing and raised the Battle Axe high. Then with a prayer for luck Alec brought the axe done in a straight line toward his Boar Pup of choice.

Alec brought his Battle Axe straight down and where once there had been a Boar Pup now there was nothing but dirt. The Boar Pup repaid Alec by zipping in lightning fast and burying it's tiny tusks into Alec opening yet again another tiny gash that seeped out red pixels representing blood and once again Alec's Hit Point bar dropped by one.

Alec dug yet another furrow into the dirt with his Battle Axe. Alec was beginning to feel more like a farmer hoeing and tilling a field than any kind of warrior trying to fight monsters. He swore his axe was close to spending more time buried in the soil than buried in a Boar Pup's flesh. He needed to find a way to get his axe into the Boar Pups and keep it going there. Alec yanked his Battle Axe free of the dirt and reset his stance for me stability. He shifted his weight back and forth setting his balance. He then brought his axe back and swung it in a high looping arc till it reached the Apex of its loop. Once it reached the pinnacle he pulled it down in a break neck plummet towards the Boar Pup.

The break neck plummet of the axe once again buried the crescent bladed Battle Axe into the soil. Perhaps thought Alec if I pour some water on it maybe it'll grow an axe tree. While Alec was busy wrenching on the Battle Axe buried in the dirt the Boar Pup took advantage of the opportunity to strike and gored Alec with its tusks opening another wound in Alec that leaked yet more red pixels of his life force from his body.
