The Flame Wizard in a Brown Moonlight. Walking around the Ghost Ship. Desperately trying to keep alive. And then she died. Again.
That girl is me, Angel's Rain. The Knight of Cygnus who had sworn eternal loyalty to the Empress of Maple World. The girl who was, currently stuck at Level 54. I was already desperate. Everyday, if I was not training, I was fighting, trying to gain some experience. I knew enough to know that this stage was what people called "Fizard Hell". It meant that fire-type wizards have the hardest time leveling up at this point. And whoever it was, he/she was right. I was stuck. I had only managed to top one more level by going near to a recommended place by my friend.
It was called Mysterious Path 3. Unfortunately, almost all channels were taken. Then, in channel 11, it was empty. So I took my place and began my cascade of Fire Pillar, a 360 degree spell that could dispose of the enemy in 5 hits. I was not strong but I had a firm will.
Then all of a sudden, all the monsters died at once. Distracted, I looked around. And there (to my mortification), was Evan. I had heard that Evan was a horrible kser and I am afraid to say that the rumours were right. He used a spell that 1 hit K.O. all the monsters and left poor me with nothing.
As politely as possible, I mentioned, "Excuse me, but I believe I was here first. If you don't mind, could you please go somewhere else?"
His answer was less than satisfactory. "What?" he snapped back. "Too bad then. Why don't YOU go away?"
I was so very shocked. "I believe that I am the lower-levelled of both of us and require more training than you. Obviously, you are at least level 100, yet you wish to sacrifice others for your gain?"
The only reply was, "Rude people don't need to train."
Eventually, I escaped into the refuge of Ghost Ship, a dimly-lit place. Though it was filled with ghosts that were capable of attacking me with high damage of 200+ (being a wizard, I did not even have 900HP yet), the surroundings were nice. No one to come and steal what was mine. A few people came and went. Luckily, none of them were stupid enough to believe I would let them ks my prey. One Ice and Lightning Wizard came in and attempted to do so, but I made significant enough noises to make him leave.
Gladly, Cassandra had given me numerous free mana potions. However, when I finally leveled, I had already used 70% of them. Not long later, I began to run out.
And now I am crying. For all the time that I wasted. For the fact that I was not strong enough to protect the Empress. For the fact that my bright future was deterred, not by friendship, but by money. And for the fact that, with my low standard, I would never be recognized as a somebody by the one that I loved so tenderly…
No one, not Shinsoo, not Cygnus, not even myself, can understand me… For I will be helpless and alone forever…
And ever…
Until the End of Time…
