Chapter 7
Wow! Chapter 7 already! Right; ANNOUNCEMENT! I realized I couldn't have the One-Handed sword, and so I changed it to One-Handed Curved sword; so that's done.
Asuna: Write the damn story! I'm in this one!
Me: Ehhh? How the hell did you get in here? And who said you were in this one? Why are you spoiling the chapter?
Asuna: Bye.
Me: Okay...
Chapter 7: Death
I looked up at the blue sky, 100 meters up.I was about to start work on the smithing; I was already 15 in it. I felt a tap on my shoulder and spun around to see Hanoko there.
"Do you wanna come grinding with me?' He asked, with a toothy yawn.
"Yeah, OK, where's Adino?" I asked curiously as I got my Katana ready.
"He's searching for her." Hanoko replied grimly.
"Ah." I replied quietly.
We got ready and equipped our armour. I made a mental note to get newer and better armour. We headed out and found a little field not too far; and there weren't any players. I took one area, and Hanoko took another around 15 meters away. I fought monster after monster. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Hanoko open his inventory and summon his pet. Arrrgghh! I hate him.
3 hours later...
So...tired...grinding...for three...hours...straight...Finally, I had leveled up to Level...8! Hah! It was taking longer and longer to grind to get a new level. Soo...my stats. Currently; I had 9 in both. I would put one in each, obvoiusly. But; where would I put the extra one? If I put it in STR, my sword would be lighter; and if I put it in AGI I would be faster...but; if I put it in STR, I could swing my sword faster and make faster hits. So, I now had 11 in STR and 10 in AGI. Then; I went to my skill list.
I currently had «One-Handed Curved Sword» equipped and «Blacksmithing» equipped. Then, I checked them. Currently; I had 15 in blacksmithing...and...27 in my 1H Curved Sword. Damn! Right; back to grinding.
I got up and decided I would try the one skill I hadn't tried. It was called «Fell Crescent» it shot me forward 4 meters in 0.4 seconds. Like a superman version of «Horizontal» I went up to a Level 4 «Little Nepent» Now that I was stronger, I could move my sword with a flick of my blade. I aggroed the Nepent and let it get closer...then, copying the movements I saw; I shot forwards. The Nepent didn't even have time to look. It was dead. Then I heard a scream..or yell, or a mix of sort. I spun around to hear the shattering glass and froze. Oh, no. The glass fell all over...and Hanoko was in the middle of it. Who had died? Oh.
I walked over to him.
"Hey, don't worry. You'll find another Nosh. But, first, how do you do it?" I asked.
"I-its just...this warmth in my heart..." He sighed.
"Ok! We'll go around a ton of monsters and get you're Nosh No 2! And I'll try too!" I yelled jubiantly. He smiled.
"OK"
Nightime...
I gulped. This was my bedtime.
"Mummy..." I whispered. Someone clapped me round the back of the head. I yelped. It was Hanoko. Ah, he was OK.
"Stop snivelling." He grumbled. I sniffed.
A pair of red, round (and mini) lights stared at me. Then another. And another. More and more came up until I counted eight of them.
"Four each!" I whispered.
They leapt forward and I saw they were wolves. Four instantly charged me. I shot forwards with «Fell Crescent» and before the wolves knew what was happening; I spun around and used «Horizontal» One was in the red and the others were in yellow. I took a deep breath. They howled and leapt towards me. I aimed for the wolf in the red. I shot forwards with a «Slant» and killed one but suffered a medium-powered attack from the other three; lowering me down by about a quarter. Now; focus. My speedy move was recharged; so I could use the same tactic. I shot forwards with «Fell Crescent» and, again, in less than a second before they could react, I spun around and used «Horizontal» Two died instantly and the other was low in red so I finished it off.
I turned around at Hanoko while he finished his wolves off.
"Ones missing. I only fought three." He said, his eyes darting around.
"You never had four. Where is it...?" I said turning around and looking as well. Then; a wolf came out. And it prowled around us-but this wolf was different. It was albino, and the name read «Alpha Wolf» These wolfs were rare. I grinned and put my hand on the hilt of my sword, when Hanoko put his hand on mine; pushing the sword away.
"No..." He whispered, staring into the eyes of the Alpha. He sat down, his legs crossed. They stared into eachothers eyes for about 2 minutes.
30 seconds in; I got bored so I sat down and pretended I had my own imaginary wolf. Finally, the Alpha nuzzled Hanoko, and, then, surprisingly Hanoko pulled out this piece of meat from his pouch and the wolf changed, the cursor turning green. Hanoko grinned at me.
"Well, that settles that!" He grinned-and then at my confused face, he said ,"Some tames rquire food, some don't"He said, going into his inventory and gasped.
"Woah!" He exclaimed. I rushed upto him and looked at his inventory. I gaped. Now, instead of 27x «Familiar Summons» he had 57 of them!
"So, for every beast you tame, you get 30 of them? Cool!" I grinned. Hanoko smiled. Then he gasped.
"This sword..." He murmered. I peeked to look.
"Whoah..." I said. Sitting in his inventory was a two-handed sword; Sword Of The Albino. It was on the same level as the Anneal Blade-maybe higher. He took it out and grinned.
"Let's always fight and be together, okay?" Hanoko smiled.
The wolf howled at the moon.
