[F01 - SP] <<The First Few Lessons Are Free>>

[Bahr 0]

As he closed in on the boar, things started to get... weird. It was like his vision was getting fuzzy, and he couldn't keep his eyes fixated on any one thing at a time. The fatigue of the battle was beginning to catch up with him, and the fact that he hadn't eaten in hours wasn't helping, either. The attack missed, predictably, but Bahr didn't care. Hot tears rolled down his cheeks as he thought of every little thing he hated about his situation. The rage bubbled up further and further until the bottle he had been using to suppress his emotions cracked and began to overflow. He was barely even himself anymore, at this point. He was an object of pure, unadulterated fury. 

The boar retaliated with an attack of its own, but through Bahr's sheer abominable will he managed to deflect the attack with the flat side of his sword and shove the animal back. In a pivoting motion on his heel, he swiveled around the creature nimbly. His sword began to glow once more, and using the momentum from his turn, he unleashed two sweeping slashes in one clean motion.

Both strikes carved cleanly through the grotesque animal, causing it to squeal in agony. Finally, he had managed to harm it. It wasn't invincible. It could be defeated! Bahr screamed a warcry in its face, and consequently ate a face full of skull and tusk. He tumbled backward clumsily, hopping to his feet as soon as he was able and staring down the boar with murderous intent. The boar did the same, kicking one of its front hooves backward and huffing forcefully through its snout. 

"You think you can take me!? Huh!? You think I won't absolutely shred you the second I have the chance! Make your move!"

More than happy to oblige, the boar squealed and began its charge toward Bahr again. Not to be outdone, Bahr charged toward the boar as well, his sword beginning to glow once more. With all of his might, he thrust the blade forward in an attempt to split the animal right between the eyes.

The tip of Bahr's sword managed to hit its mark, chunking the beast for another third of its life. Likewise, the boar continued on and plowed through Bahr's legs, knocking him over face first. He scrambled to his feet and faced the boar, studying its movements as he examined his HP. 10. That was all that was left. If the boar got another crit, he was toast. Then again, if it missed or just nailed a normal attack, Bahr would live. Better yet, if Bahr managed to hit it one last time with a Sword Skill, it would combust into the most satisfying cloud of blue triangular pixels he had ever seen. This was the moment, the most dangerous play he had had to make since he started the game. Would it be smart to use a potion just to be safe?

There was no time to figure that out. The boar was charging, and he didn't have time to get to his potion. It was now or never. His sword began to glow, and he unleashed another Blast, praying that the attack would hit its mark and declare him the victor.

Finally. It was over. Swine Jesus had been defeated.

Bahr let loose a sigh of relief, falling back onto his rump and gasping for air. Part of him couldn't believe he had done it. He had honestly expected death during that fight. Somehow he had persevered, and even earned some rare armor as a result. Swine Jesus was a worthy adversary, to be sure, but it was no match for the pure unfiltered rage of a man in his most desperate hour. 

It took quite awhile to make it back to town, considering how far he had run. His tired feet barely managed to carry him into Zachariah's shop. As soon as he made it through the door, the old NPC tried to speak up. Before he could say much, Bahr shoved the materials he had asked for against his chest. "What now?" he inquired in a curt voice.

-5 T1 Materials

"Now we make a potion! First, you'll need to-"

"Got it, thanks."

Bahr approached the table, taking some of the materials and doing his best to assemble a Healing Potion for the old man. And wouldn't you know it? He was a natural. The potion was successfully crafted and handed over to Zachariah.

Rare Quality Potion successfully crafted! Potion given to Zachariah.

"Splendid work, young man! Now, I just need your help with one more thing," Zachariah said as he wandered off to go grab something. Bahr groaned and tapped his foot against the ground impatiently. After a minute or two, he returned with a package. "Please deliver this to Lyle Tealeaf. He's the local blacksmi-." Bahr never heard the rest, as he was already out the door with the package.

After a short while, Bahr arrived at Lyle's shop. Without skipping a beat, he headed inside, approached Lyle, and shoved the package into his hands. As soon as the package left his possession, a quest completion panel appeared in front of him.
