Realm of Adventures: The King's Quest
Wysteria: Castle
At the castle, the heroes stood before the king.
"Whoa, it's a king." Ash said.
"Welcome, brave adventurers." the king spoke. "I apologize for summoning you here on short notice, but alas, I can no longer wait."
"What is it, Your Majesty?" Lillie asked.
"The land is in peril as the Devil King and his army threaten everything in their path." the king said. "Citizens are fearful of sleep at night. This tyranny cannot be allowed to continue. And that's where you come in. You are the legendary heroes destined to save our realm."
"Us?" Sophocles asked.
"Yes, and to properly compensate you for this journey, I hereby offer 8000 Gold." the king said and multiple sacks of gold coins were brought in, with 1000 Gold going to each of the heroes. "Now venture forth, heroes! Human Warrior Ash, Elf Ranger Mallow, Fairy Shamaness Lillie, Werewolf Rogue Chris, Dwarf Barbarian Sophocles, Lizardman Knight Kiawe, Mermaid Spearwoman Lana, and Birdman Ninja Martin."
And then, the heroes were transported back to Rosetown.
Wysteria: Rosetown
"Well, we're back in Rosetown. Any ideas about where to begin?" Martin asked.
"I already read through the Beginner's Manual provided in the Inventory." Lillie said as she brought up her Inventory and took out the Beginner's Manual. "If I pull up the menu, go to Help, and then select Contact Tortuga… this happens."
Back in the real world, Jimmy received the call.
"Hey, guys. What's up?" Jimmy asked.
"Not much, we were just testing the Contact Tortuga function." Chris said. "Though I guess some tips about what to do first might be handy."
"Well, how about you go find some monsters to fight to level up?" Jimmy suggested. "There's a swamp nearby with many slimes to fight."
"Hey, we got 8000 Gold from the king. How much is that? Is that a lot?" Martin asked.
"Yeah, pretty much. Use them wisely. And by the way, if you check the Tasks tab, it'll pull up a list of the tasks you need to do, and a map to give you directions. If that's all, then later!" Jimmy said, and the call ended.
"Well, we know where to go now. Let's go." Kiawe said.
Wysteria: Slime Swamp
At the Slime Swamp, the heroes battled some Slimes.
Ash and Kiawe slashed some Slimes with their swords.
Mallow used her bow to fire arrows at some Slimes.
Sophocles swung his hammer to hit some Slimes.
Lana jabbed a Slime with her spear.
Lillie fired a bolt of magic from her magic scepter at the Slimes.
Chris threw a few smoke bombs at the Slimes and then sneaked in to slash them with his daggers.
Martin unveiled several hidden kunai and shurikens from his wings and threw them at the Slimes.
"Okay, that's all the slimes here." Chris said.
"I got some EXP from them." Lana said.
"Let's see, from beating all those Slimes, we've all reached Level 4." Sophocles said. "And the Drops we got are plentiful."
"What can we use those for?" Ash asked.
"According to what I've read, certain Item Drops can be traded with a merchant for Gold, or we can use them to upgrade our gear." Lillie said.
"Let's see now, from the Slimes we got… Slimeballs, Mana Crystals, and EXP Potions." Martin said. "Oh, EXP Potions sound important. Hmm, Mana Crystals… I'm pretty sure Lillie is the only one who would need them since she's the only one who uses magic."
Then, Martin handed Lillie all his Mana Crystals and the others did the same.
"That leaves the Slimeballs." Mallow said. "According to their description, they can be crafted into stuff like glue and other adhesives."
"That sounds useful, let's keep some on hand rather than trade it all at a merchant." Kiawe said.
"Oh, and when we reach Level 7, we can unlock Element Skills." Lillie said. "That is, we can use the power of elements such as Fire, Ice, Plant, Earth, Light, and more, along with items that are imbued with those elemental powers."
"Whoa, you've really studied that guide, didn't you?" Chris said.
"Yes, also, you've noticed that we have HP bars, haven't you? When it runs out, our character dies and we respawn at the nearest graveyard that we've seen." Lillie said.
"Okay, I guess you can be like a human, or rather fairy, guide for us, then." Martin said. "Anyway, let's get going. Let's actually complete some Tasks or Quests!"
"Right!" the others said, and the heroes started heading towards the marked destination on the map.
