Leafy woke up in the dungeon she was in yesterday, only the place had been cleared entirely. No more enemies on the first floor. The dungeon had been lit up and was easy to navigate. "Dang, this place was cleared quickly. I didn't even get to see the boss. *sigh* Maybe the next dungeon." Leafy muttered as she walked down the stairs to the next floor.
She was walking down the staircase when an arrow barely missed her, going right past her face, "Who's there!?" Leafy shouted, "Me." a little girl said as she appeared from behind a wall, "I'm Rue, what's your name?" she asked, "I am Leafy, why did you try to kill me!?" Leafy yelled, "I've been looking for a someone to be in a party with me. Everyone has refused so far. I shoot to show I'm strong." Rue replied as she opened her menu and typed a few things.
Leafy got a pop-up message, "Rue wants to form a party with you, accept?" the message read, "Okay I guess. Safety in numbers." Leafy clicked yes and Rue flashed a bright smile, "Thank you, we'll have so much fun together! Rawr!" Rue laughed as she followed Leafy down the stairs, "How did you get fox ears and a tail like that?" Leafy asked, "I picked kitsune as my class, then switched to Outlaw." Rue replied as they reached the last flight of stairs.
The two opened a door to see a big flower patch followed by a town and grassy fields, "This place is nicer than the dungeon." Leafy looked around as they walked through the flower patch and into town. Rue happily skipped as her coat blew gently in the wind. "You know, for a death game, things seem pretty peaceful." Leafy commented, "I know, right!" Rue giggled and walked on.
In town, players were buying better items and weapons, "There is a rumor that there is a Bifrost staff hidden in a chest on this floor." Rue said, "What does it do?" Leafy asked, "It revives someone who dies up to 24 hours after they die." Rue replied. Leafy stopped and looked down, "What's the matter?" Rue asked, "Nothing, I'm just hoping we never need it." Leafy replied. Rue just laughed and ran into an armory.
"I carry only the finest!" the shopkeeper said as Rue looked around. "How much for this?" Rue asked, holding up a Fujin Yumi, "That is not for sale, that is Andrew776 only." the shopkeeper replied. "Okay, see ya!" Rue darted out the shop and pulled Leafy with her, "You stole that!?" Leafy gasped as she caught up with Rue, "Just keep running!" Rue shouted. That's when Leafy realized something, Rue was an orange player.
"Stop that thief!" the shopkeep yelled. "Here they come! Get ready for a bunch of exp!" Rue shouted as she drew Fujin Yumi. To her surprise only a single Dark Mage appeared before them. "Leafy, why are you with an orange player? She killed at least two people already." the Dark Mage said. A crowd of people had gathered around the three. "Shoot... I'm surrounded. I have to find a way out." Rue thought to herself as she looked for an opening. "I didn't know what orange ment and she is just a little kid and... wait, where did Rue go?" Leafy asked.
Rue was on the roof of a small shop running away, "Take this!" Rue shot an arrow from Fujin Yumi and missed the Dark Mage, she hit Andrew776 instead who was in the crowd and killed him. Rue's icon turned to red as she grew worried, "Get her!" a player in the crowd shouted. The Dark Mage took off her hood and gave chase on the rooftops, "Wait!" Leafy ran after Rue and the Dark Mage.
Rue was fast, but the Dark Mage was faster, "I can't outrun her. Wait I can do something!" Rue thought as she aimed Fujin Yumi at the Dark Mage and fired, "Oww!" she cried as the arrow hit her arm. "Yes! I'm out!" Rue jumped off a building and darted off. "Are you okay- wait, Nino!?" Leafy was surprised when she ran over to the Dark Mage, "Yeah, I'm fine. I see you're still alive." Nino laughed. "I'm level 6. What about you?" Leafy asked. "I'd rather not say. Let's go take on the dungeon for exp." Nino got up and jumped off the roof, followed by Leafy.
The two headed down the path to a gloomy looking tower. "It is surprising to see an old run down tower in this flower field." Leafy commented as they walked, "Yes. It is very weird. But I don't care how bad it looks. I just want the exp. I want to be the best." Nino said as she walked in. "Hm. I was thinking, how come Rue could use Fujin Yumi?" Leafy asked, "That isn't important. We need to keep leveling up and focus on becoming the strongest." Nino shrugged as the door to the dungeon closed.
"She is such a jerk! Didn't even stand up for me. I will kill her someday." Rue muttered as she sat on a hill alone. "Ah, a perfect canidate for the game." a voice said, "Wha? Who's th- AaaAaAaaHhH!" Rue screamed a everything went black. "I am the forgotten king! The ruler of this world! I shall destroy all with this vessel and my Fujin Yumi! I am... Imukat!" the voice evilly laughed.
With another day passed, more people dead, more tearful moments, and one plot point revealed with a player possession. May the stars shine down on all.
