[SP-F1] <<Earning a living>> Starting a life.

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

Sakuri had been in the game quite a while, without really started a life ,Ike many other people had done. He had still been treating this more as a game then actually life which it might be considered as since he is stuck here. He had seen people which were blacksmiths, artisans and such, but no real merchant, which can let the others get their merchandise faster, so they wouldn't have to grind as much.

Sakuri felt like this idea would be a good one, as long as he had materials to sell which would be hard to keep up with.. Now was the question. How did you do this.

Well first of he would need some advise, which he guessed some different npc's could give him, he also needed materials to start it up. Thus he had teleported to floor 1, since he believed that most npc shop where lo located there, thereby, he could get some extra advise.

Sakuri walked through the first floor for a while, until he found a npc merchant on the town center. He walked up towar the npc, while he nodded as a friendly gesture, even tho the npc wouldn't react to it. When he stood in front of the npc he would ask if Sakuri were interested in buying anything.

"Actually, I am more interested in getting some tips, what would make a merchant a good merchant?" he said with a big smile to look more friendly.

The npc then replied with an instant, as he probably had gotten this question a million times.

"Well, the most important thing would be to always have a full stock, or as close as possible and many different wares to fit as many people as possible. Being friendly is always needed also" the npc said with a big grin on his face.

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

Sakura had nodded as the npc spoke to him.

"Thank you a lot!" he said to the npc while he walked of again, trying to figure everything out. He guess that before he even thought about getting a place, he should get some materials which he could sell. It didn't have to be rare materials, just many different kinds of items which would be needed for different purposes! FI he found a rare, it would of course be a plus.

i wonder what I should call it... he thought to himself while he aimlessly walked around in the city. He then stopped thinking about what he should name it, and started moving towards the exit of the city.

He decided to visit the merchant once again after he had found some materials.

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

After losing himself in the big city, he finally found his way towards the exit. He felt the shadow of the big walls and gates as he passed through it. He was then outside of the city, with the sun shining right in his face. He gripped the handle of his sword as he drew it, watching some of the boards nearby.

i guess starting with some tusks can be a good idea, tusks could be used for creating weapons, or so I've heard. he thought as he started sprinting towards the boar.

When he was at it, he winded up a big powerful thrust, which would turn into a crit. The poor boar had no chance of defending itself.

Sakuri: 15/15 HP

Boar: 3/5 HP

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

He felt an happy rush through his body, as the fight had begun so smooth, compared to what he is used to. Without estimation, or leaving the blarney further time to react, he decided to attack again, and hope that luck would be on his side.

Which it seems to be, his sword hit the bias side, causing red pixels to fly away in the air. He had managed to and an hit which caused 1 more damage to the boar.

At this rate he figured that starting this up, would go smooth.

Sakuri - 15/15

Boar - 2/5

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

This time he thought that another attack with no thought behind, would just cause the boar to let him damage him, since it would be ready for another attack of similar pattern, that's what sakuri figured how to combat system worked anyhow.

But even though it only was a level 1. Boar and sakuri was level 6, he still was as focused as he could be. Better safe than sorry, was something that sakuri usually followed, when it came to doing solo stuff anyhow.

But the boar suddenly charged him, so he tried to use the pops of the boars speed to get another good hit in.

Bit he had seemed to underestimate the boar, his blade got stuck at the tusks of it, causing the boar to kind of reflect his attack. Luckily sakuri reacted in time and dodged the boar,

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

A this point in the battle, the boar had missed its charge, thus leaving it open from behind. Sakuri took and advantage of this instantly to maybe be able to finish it of. So what he did was he quickly jumped in the air, with his blade pointing a the pig, he figured that this would give him the art of surprise, kind of.

The boar knew he was there, but maybe it weren't ready for an attack like this, as it was rather odd.

And it seemed like the strange attack payed of, since the hit landed without any problems causing one damage. He know knew that the boar was almost killed, and with how smoothie had gone so far, he felt relieved.

Sakuri - 15/15

Boar - 1/5

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

A this point in the battle, he just wanted to finish the boar of, I without any hesitation to his last attack,he jumped to the side, hoping that the boar wouldn't match his speed of rotating, and tried to stab it in the side.

What had happend to is that the boar kept up with his tempo, which catched sakuri by surprise. H missed his attack due to the boar moving around, but since the boar was only level one, it was still very easy for him to dodge the boars counter attack.

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

By missing his last attack, sakuri felt a feeling which. Oils be explained by irritation. how can I miss a simple boar like this.. he thought to himself while he dodged the boars next attack, and then tried to counter hit it.

if I don't get any good loot from this, I will be so mad..

But once again, he had missed. This time due to slipping wi his foot in the rotation he did as he tried to attack, causing him damage of 1.

He got up on his feet fast, but after that last failure, his moral decreased a lot.

Sakuri - 14y/15

Boar - 1/5

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

This time, he he was so furious in himself for failing on such an easy task, so he would try to grab the boar by its tusk so he wouldn't be able to miss. This time he was confident that the death of this boar, should happen.

Which he did, he grabbed it by the tusk causing it to be an easy target for his sword to hit, thus causing sakuri to kill it.

But now sakuri felt a rage inside of him, he got no loot from it at all..

He threw a rock away in his frustration, which looked rather silly.

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

This time, in his anger he walked over to another boar, which he had decided to kill, and just kicked it in the face.

"Stupid game.." he mumbled to himself while he saw the boar react to his kick.

What he know noticed in after hand, is that the boar took damage from that pitiful kick he had done. He then realized that this was a smaller boar, thus it had 1 less health also. Sakuri took this as an pleasant suprise as the boar would go down faster.

Sakuri - 14/15

Boar- 3/4

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

Since he still had is sword drawn as he had kicked the boar, he was kind if ready to defend himself. The time slowed down as he noticed the attack coming from the boar, not literally slowed down but as someone is about to hurt themself.

But in the last second, he managed to sidestep, causing the boar to miss. He followed up with a simple thrust at the boar, causing another damage.

Sakuri - 14/15

Boar - 2/4

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

Again, the battle had started of in heavily in his favor, just as last time. But this time he didn't feel some sort of happy feeling for it, he was just being irritated for the last drop, and missed he had on his record. Sakuri usually weren't such an good fighter, or nothing special about him anyhow. But this was just shameful.

Witt he last thrust hitting the boar, he decided to do another quick thrust towards it.

But as last time, he missed his attack due to know strategy, or thinking of his actions. This time it cost himself one life point as the boar knocked him off his feets.

Sakuri - 13/15

Boar - 2/4

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

While muttering some curse words, he stood up again, sawing the boar came flying towards him, he quickly got on his feets and thought that he would try to Larry the attack, thus leaving the boar open for another attack.

But it seemed like history would repeat itself, when his parry failed, he was once again vulnerable to attack on his legs, which once again got swept away under him. Causing another point of damage to him.

Now sakuri had gotten really irritated, and thought about sitting under a tree the rest of the game, as t seemd like his combat skills we really low.

Sakuri - 13/15

Boar - 2/4

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

He decided that after he had killed this boar, he shall head to the merchant and see if they can arange some sort of a deal to him, since killing boars ain't his strong side it seems like. Now that he had a plan, he just had to go through with it, but there were a boar blocking his way, with 2 health left. For most people this would be nothing, but fir sakuri this was like a boss fight.

He quickly got on his feets and charegd towards the boar.

But as awlays, he missed AGAIN. luckily the boar didn't react in time so he would take no damage from this failure.

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

But now this boar had angered sakuri, so as he charged him one more time, hoping that this would be the final time he did so, he roared out a big battle cry, or maybe he was crying of frustration, Sakuri didn't know the anwser to this himself.

Even though it didn't kill the boar, it felt good as he saw the red pixels comming out from its body.

The bpoar only had one health left now, which sakuri figured would take around 6 atatcks to bring down.

Sakuri - 13/15

Boar -1/4

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

This time, he figured he would try ne of his ''Suprises'' again, so he started to spin like a tornado, while charged towards the boar.

But sakuri hadn't really actred with his mind during this so called ''Move''. It was a foolish and stupid idea which turned out to be his downfall also, he didn't only miss his attack, he never reached his target.

Sakuri had stubmled over his own feets while spinning around like a fool. Not stumbled enough to Fall on the ground though, luckily.

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

When sakuri had regaiend his balance, and saw the boar rushing towards him, he decided that this boar would kill itself, thus he out his sword ifnront of him like a pike, hoping that the boar would simply rush into the sword and kill itself.

Even though this might sounds like a stipid plan, sakuri felt confident with his brand new idea, maybe he was going mad.

And it seemed like his plan had worked, he even landed a crit on the boar which is an overkill, not that it did any difference. Even with the confidence sakuri had while started doing this move, it suprised him how well this had worked out for him.

Just some seconds after the boar had been killed, he got a window up with his loot and experience.

x1 boar tusk.

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

Now ashe had killed the boar, he had decided to head towards the merchant, seing if he could work out a deal for himself, and maybe get some more tips, so he started moving towards the big gates which weren't to far away so it would only take a couple of minutes of his time.

While he walked the short way, he looked aroudn himself, just to see that no PKers were around. The rumors lately had been that many of the players, had turned out to be evil, thus killing inocent players without any real reason. But sakuri figured that they would figure out a way to stop them eventually.

He had now reached the gates and was headed towards the merchant eh had previously talked with.

[Sakuri sashiti 0]

He had been walking for a little while, as the first floor city was rather big and it was easy to get lost here, especially as sakuri is usually looking around himself for danger, even when he was in city's. But either way, he had now reached the town center and searched for the merchant, which was easy to find.

He once again headed up to the merchant with a smile, and once again he got asked if he wanted to buy anything. Sakuri shook his head.

''No sorry, i am here for your help once again. Do you think you could help me to get a better way of gathering materials?''

The merchant nodded with a smile and simply replied with ''Yes, just be a merchant.''

Sakuri was now baffled by the anwser he had gotten.
