Chapter 2: Mika
POV: Regalia
"Hey, WATCH IT!"
"Oh, sorry! I'm just looking for Katyushka Valley.", I explained, while still running to the east.
Katyushka Valley. The low-level beginner's zone. Filled with many weak monsters, including Nikita Owls, Rane Cats, and Frost Wolves.
My first monster. A Roxis.
I looked in my inventory and equipped the only weapon available, an Iron Cutlass. I took position and readied my weapon, then taunted the Roxis. It came running at me.
Hiy... AGH!
I dealt heavy damage to the hard-as-rock humanoid creature, then it came running at me again. I finished it off with a quick thrust of my Iron Cutlass.
"Congratulations! Your Skill Level has increased!", said the banner that appeared over my head.
I felt a sudden surge of energy, and I received a message saying that I learned a new skill.
"You have learned a new skill! Kite Slash!"
I then heard footsteps behind me.
"Hey, I saw that! Good job! Not very many can manage to kill a Roxis on their first try, much less in two hits!"
"Uh... H-hi...", I stammered, while looking at the blonde-haired teenager next to me.
"Nice to meet you. The name's Mika!", he said.
"I-I'm Regalia...", I stammered again.
"Regalia... That's a beautiful name. I'll remember it!", Mika said.
"T-thank you...", I stammered, while blushing.
"Well, gotta run. See you around, Regalia!"
I ran back to town, still blushing.
