I am seriously tired of waiting for those idiots forever… You know what forget this, I'm tired as it is. I'm going to bed. I'll leave them a note to meet here in the morning. But right before I was able to do so, I got this note. "Andreana the boss had two forms, we are getting pummeled out here you gotta come and help now! You know where to meet. Hurry!" I immediately got everything ready and used a teleportation crystal to get there faster.
"I'm here guys, what's goin o-" I immediately gasped in shock after seeing everyone's stats. Maddie's health was half gone and Nick's was ¾ gone, while Louis was barely holding on and Adam's was ¼ gone. Dieter and Delbert were both trying to heal everyone but were running out of items fast. I used a healing crystal on everyone.
"Here guys!"I shouted. "I'm here so let's get started!" I said while rushing towards the boss who seemed a lot harder now. I quickly jumped up and sliced it's shoulder blade but it managed to grab my leg and swing me around flying. I managed to land without hitting the wall right behind me.
'That was to close.' I thought to myself I put away my sword and got out my bow and arrows for hunting not the best but it'll have to do. I quickly scanned the boss who had received slight damage but not enough. I was looking for some weak spot until Maddie gave it to me. She hit it's kneecaps taking away some amour exposing a somewhat crystal like spot right below the knee. 'There it is!' I wasted no time in shooting it right in the crystal like spot, once it hit, the boss's health bar went down by 2/4 but that lucky little monster had four health bars. Nick noticed what I did and gave his commands.
"Everyone, Andreana has found some sort of weak spot but this boss has 4 health bars, so I assume that there are 4 weak spots 2 hits for every spot! So try to find the spots!"He shouted in a thundering voice.
"Gotcha!" Maddie shouted while hitting the spot I just did.
Adam unleashed his sword skill and lopped of an arm. The beast howled in fury and tried crushing him and in turn had half of its hand cut off.
"I'm getting this one," yelled Adam as he came dashing in from the side, he re-activated his sword-skill and made an attempt to cut off the beasts head. It was a clean cut, and the head rolled on the ground before shattering into shards of rainbow light pixels. Nick sighed and limped over to Luis. He knelt down and opened his menu.
"Here, take this," Nick moaned.
He pulled out a healing potion and attempted to heal Luis. "Are you sure?" Luis replied "Your health is low too. You should take it."
"There's no use arguing, your health is lower than mine, so you need it even more." Nick said as he tried to hand it to Luis.
"I said you take it!" Luis argued as he pushed the bottle back at him.
"If you won't take it then I'll just give it to someone else." He said as he walked away. He then walked over to Maddie who was sitting up against a wall. "Here," He said to Maddie. "Why don't you take it."
"But your health is even lower than mine." she said back.
"Just please take it, I can find more health in a village somewhere." Nick answered. "I don't want anything happening to you to get you killed." With that said, she took the bottle and chugged the entire potion as her health shot straight up. "I say that we head back to the nearest village and get some sleep."
"Ok, lets just get going already," I shouted as I dragged Nick out the door. "Here, drink this and shut up!" I handed it to Nick.
"But-" He was cut off when I forced him to drink it.
"There now everyone heal up and we'll go to the inn. I am seriously exhausted, and besides, a level 13 character now needs to update her status." I said while sighing. I always hated that part of leveling up, leveling up your armour it is such a royal pain in my side. Well let's just get some sleep first."
"Please," said Adam, "I just just got a huge level boost and the last attack bonus, so now I'm at the same level, now lets see what I got." He opened up the menu and put on Black and grey armor that had metal plates on the armor and metal gauntlets. "Nice."
Halfway through the night I was woken up by the sound of another player snoring in the next room. I tried time and time again to fall asleep but I just couldn't, so I decided to go outside for a while. I left my room and went down the hallway to a flight of stairs that led outside. I walked down the stairs and went outside. It was a cold night. I turned and saw Nick standing against a wall and staring down at the ground.
"Nick, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I just couldn't sleep." he said back.
"Ok, well I guess we have the same problem." I said shivering a little bit.
"Why didn't you bring a jacket genius?" He asked. "Here take this so you don't freeze." He opened his menu and sent me a coat that he had found earlier before. I sent it back and began scolding him.
"Oh shut up! I'm perfectly fine, I don't need your help." I shouted in annoyance giving him his coat back. "You know what, I'm going to take a little walk." and with that I stormed off, ignoring him calling for me. I walked around for a bit not doing much, but was really cold. I should've accepted Nick's offer, but there's no going back now. I was still walking around, but then I saw a boy around my age who looked at me with confusion.
"Um, excuse me, but why are you out here miss?" The boy asked. Now that I looked at him closer, I noticed he had red hair and orange eyes, he was also swordsman.
"Oh I'm just out for a walk." I responded, but with what I was wearing I could tell he didn't believe me. I began to shiver again, it was really getting cold.
"Here you should have this." He said handing me a coat.
"Thank you." I responded.
"Could you tell me your name, miss." He asked me.
"I'm Andreana, what is yours?" I asked.
"I am Blake." He said smiling
"Well it's very nice to meet you Blake," I said looking up at him he was as tall as Nick, and compared to my size I was like a small little mouse. " But I don't think I can stay for long." He looked slightly disappointed.
"Well can I ask you something?" He asked.
"Sure."
"Do you have a group or a guild, because I've been kinda a solo player for most of the time I've been in this stupid game, and well, strength lies in numbers right?" He said looking slightly embarrassed, I laughed a bit.
"Yeah I have a group," I said smiling. "Do you mind sharing your stats with me beforehand, it's kinda necessary." He nodded and showed me his stats.
Level:12, Guild:None, Skill Swordsman, Achievements: Locked.
"Ok you seem to have the right criteria," I said closing the stats. "I think you can join. You just have to meet the leader of our group."
"Alright when can I?"He asked.
"Well considering it's almost morning you can just follow me and meet him." I responded while we were walking back we talked about stupid stuff and little things. Until we finally arrived to meet angry looking Nick and the group behind him with stupid sly grins.
"Hey Andreana," Maddie said smirking. "I didn't know you worked that fast." I blushed and grew angry.
"Oh my god, you guys always make everything awkward. I'm gonna go change." I took off Blake's Jacket. "Here you go, I'll be out in a minute guys." And with that I rushed inside the inn and put on my usual attire. I looked down and I thought I need to start upgrading my armour. I'll go shopping for it later. I rushed out the door and found everyone talking and laughing, even Blake. I immediately rushed out and joined up with them.
"Hey guy's, I just noticed something. A couple of us need to go shopping for new armor and weapons." I said
"Yeah, after that last boss and everyone leveling up, I guess now would be the perfect time for shopping." Nick stated.
"Yaaay! It's shopping time!" I shouted happily. It's been forever since I went shopping.
"Ok let's meetup here in about an hour, Andreana and Maddie, Louis and Adam, And I'll go with Blake and my two apprentices." Nick said with a sigh.
"Ok we'll meet up here in an hour!" I shouted while dragging Maddie behind me.
"Ok, first let's go get new armor and clothes, we need it." She said.
"Ok yeah." I responded. I looked around and I found an outfit just for me, it was a short gray dress with blue trims, and it came with black gray and blue shoes, and a black cape with a blue trim that covered my chest and also had two pieces that went around my came with black fingerless gloves that had blue strips in a criss-cross. Then Maddie walked out.
"What did you get Maddie?" I asked.
"Oh nothing much," She equiped her amour, it was a gray dress that stopped mid thigh and had on sleeve short and the other went to her elbow, it came with a chestplate that was white with a red trim and a matching back plate in the front there was a green crystal in the center of her chest with more green crystals poking out from the sides. She had grey boots with a white shinguard that had red trims in the front, she also had a matching gauntlet on her right arm, lastly she had a white and yellow belt on.
"Wow nice choice." I said with a smirk. "Ok, well we should get new weapons now." I stated.
"Yeah ok." She replied looking at a giant War axe with a wicked grin on her face.
"Well that was easy." I stated while Maddie was having the time of her life I started looking around. I found an amazing sword called Phoenix Wing, in the center there was this starlike shape that connects to the base, it had awesome stats and it even gave me cool skill, I could turn the sword on fire. I immediately bought it I could tell I was gonna have fun with this sword.
"Ok now that we have got the amour I'm gonna go stock up on items." I stated happy with my purchases and selling my old ones, I equipped the sword on my hip.
"Ok, I'm gonna go look around for minor jobs we could start doing, I'll meet u guys up at the center later." And with that she left.
I just went to an items store and bought a bunch of healing supplies and food, things that would help us all out.
"That will be 550 col ma'am." The NPC clerk told me. I just sighed and handed her the money, lucky for me I have money to spend and use were as the others always tend to have some sort of money issues seriously I mean really do I have to buy everything? I just sighed again and kept walking. After all the shopping was done we all met at the center of the town with our new armor and supplies. Nick had bought a black cloak that had a white trim and the sleeves stopped just below the elbow. On his right shoulder he had a white shoulder piece, he also had black pants, a black shirt with white trim, black boots with white trim, and black gloves. Wow he wore a lot of black. Adam wore his new armor alongside a new black cloak and hood giving him the appearance of one of those creepy Nazgul from The Lord of the Rings(we do not own the rights to this either). Louis wore a black shirt and black pants with dark orange fingerless gloves and dark orange cloak with black boots. Blake wore a long white scarf that went behind him and he wore a black undershirt and black pants and brown boots. Over that he wore a red chestplate and red leg armor that matched his red arm amour. He wore his sword on his back. Dieter and Delbert had the same clothes but new and improved weapons. probably couldn't afford much
"Finally that's over." Louis complained.
"Yeah no joke well now that that's done we should get rest, I don't know about you guys but I didn't get much sleep." I yawned.
"Well it is late," Nick thought over. "Ok, I guess we could go back to the inn."
"Oh yeah guys," Maddie interjected. "I got some quests from the NPC's they pay well and aren't that hard."
"Ok, that sounds good but let's get some sleep alright." I responded Yawning again.
"Ok we will talk about it in the morning for now let's go get some sleep."
