Genuine surprise appeared on Harry's face. "Where did he die?" He asked if Argo said what he thought she might it would be exceptionally disrespectful to the dead.
"Floor two tried taking on four Chargers and a Swinger whilst rescuing four beginners...He saved the beginners and killed two of the Chargers and angered the Swinger." Harry nodded.
"He was an utter prick to me and you. Wished him dead in the Closed Test because I knew if you died you only lost your gear. Wouldn't wish that on anyone."
It was a bold faced lie Harry knew it, Agil knew it and even Argo knew it but she smiled and hugged the recovering beta "Thanks. Harry-kun, do you remember how we met?"
Flashback
Harry looked up as heard a deafening scream. Eight hundred metres to his back was a young girl with no evident weapon in sight and being attack by wolves.
Harry rushed forwards sword glowing and with ease dispatched the wolves. "Are you okay?"
"Y..Yeah...I'm good. I was looking for information on their weaknesses."
Harry snorted "Wolves...work in packs. Tend to hit the sides first. If you attack the ones flanking you...Harry by the way."
"Argo..."
End Flashback
"Yeah got you out from a pack of wolves and then proceeded to beat the snot out of Hiashi." Argo said getting a grin from Agil.
"Why did you continuously troll him?"
"He tried to put his poker or rapier between my shoulder blades because I bought Argo dinner...And he was a sexist bastard." Harry commentated getting a snort from the brunette.
"How so?" Agil were genuinely curious at this point.
Flashback
Harry escorted Argo back to the Town of Beginning's they were still outside the safe zone when he felt someone behind him "Take your hands away from my girlfriend."
"Easy, take it easy. I just saved her from the wolf packs and if you were a decent boyfriend you'd have been with her...I saved her and now you want to put your kebab stick in my back?"
Harry turned around unsheathing a larger and thicker blade. It was much larger than the Beginner's sword, not much more powerful mind you but definitely stronger than any rapier.
"Why you..." The man snarled and his attack prepared but Harry was quicker, with one move his sword had bitten into the wrist of his attackers sword arm and his second attack was his head connecting solidly into the mans nose.
End Flashback
Agil let out a booming laugh "Harry, I have to ask are we able to take you anywhere without swords being drawn?"
Harry chuckled and went to move only for Argo to give him a look of 'Don't'. "You remind me so much of my sister its hilarious...Yeah anyway thats when I started to troll Hiashi. Simple things like misdirecting him through dungeons and misinforming him of Boss clearances that sort of thing."
Argo hit Harry softly on the arm "Would you have done it again?"
"In the open game heck yes. But in these circumstances definitely not certain death trolling but definitely enough to give him a scare. Argo why didn't you ditch him or was he your boyfriend IRL as well?"
Argo nodded "In both as for why I didn't ditch him putting it simply I wasn't always the most attractive girl..."
Harry nodded "Because of that you kept him close even though he treated you like shit. In my honest opinion Argo, I think you could do a whole lot better than him...I don't want to sound presumptuous but I probably am but personally you could be a lot better off with me."
Argo grinned She had seen Harry come into her job where she worked as an accounting apprentice. The pair had become relatively good friends or as well as bank teller and customer could be but in this world they could be anything. "Hari Evans? Right? Bank at the Master Trust Bank of Japan in the Kawagoe Branch right."
Harry stared at her "Holy Kami...I thought I recognised you Argo IRL."
Agil coughed "Urm just a reminder don't bring IRL problems in here..."
"But Agil this isn't a normal game or problems." Retorted Argo grinning at the shop owner.
"True...Keep this between you us. My real names Andrew Mills, I run a cafe with my wife called 'Dicey Cafe' we tried to get two of the Nerve Gear rigs for this game but only got one and I won the competition between us to play the BETA test and do the first dive into this and I'm still glad I'm here and she isn't. I love my wife dearly but her character choices aren't combat and killing orientated, she'll go for the main and slowing down but finishing off..."
Harry nodded "I totally understand. Agil, thanks for letting me steal your spare room..." Harry opened his menu and pulled out a pile of Col "Thats my rent to you until I recover."
Harry recovered quickly and by the following day he had equipped basic clothes, a sword and headed out. All around him players chatted, wildlife buzzed, scurried and squawked.
"Who is that guy?"
"Never seen him around before."
"Wonder if he needs help."
Harry snorted at the passing questions. All the previous bosses had been repositioned not far from the Closed Beta Test, with that in mind Harry smirked. He was going to troll this floor epically, it was a gargantuan spider with four bars of health and a swarm of Spider minions that believe it or not could could run on four legs and wield some incredibly dangerous and poisonous weaponry.
Harry hit several quests along the way known as the 'magnificent seven' all seven quests ended up within a space of five hundred metres of each other and five of them yielded ores that could be used to create an exceptionally strong weapon with upto Floor 15 effectiveness.
He hastily accepted the seven tasks and took off running, these quests were slightly different upto five people could perform this particular bunch of quests. Harry accepted them and discovered that Kirito had also started the quests.
"Hey Kirito." Harry called as he caught up with the black clad teen.
"Harry...What are you..."
"I'm okay. Now fancy doing some trolling? You get the LAB if you want in." Harry asked, he missed the teen somewhere in Harry's horribly screwed up mind he needed to repair his friendship with Kirito.
"Floor three boss? Arachnid the Blind Terror?"
Harry nodded "First we need to stock up on potions, I need to get myself a new sword a customed one."
They hit the town and gained their rewards which turned out be the ore's and thirty thousand col a piece. Then the pair hit the Blacksmith, Kirito had sidled off to one of the NPC Smiths with Harry in front of a Pinke haired girl who had a suspiciously large and spikey mace lying near the corner of the till.
"Welcome to Lisbeth's Smithy, how can I help you?"
"I need a customed order."
Lisbeth's eyes widened "Can I get a name? Sword Make, Preferrence?"
"Raiden, Bastard Sword, Sharpness and Durability...Do you do discounts if I have the materials?"
"Yes...The blade if I made it would be 300,000 Col...Since you're supplying the materials 30,000. I can't go lower."
Harry deposited the ores and 15,000 Col "The other half and more whilst I browse your inventory."
Lisbeth nodded as she heated the ores and placed them on the workbench and brought her hammer down. Harry counted ten strikes and she gasped, Harry jumped over the counter and his eyes widened. Two blades had appeared on the table "What happened Lis? I only paid you enough for one."
Lisbeth shrugged "It happens occasionally okay." With that she brought up the profile of the first blade.
The Morgul, Bastard Sword
+8 Upgrades
Sharpness : 15
Durability : 13
Accuracy: 8
The second blade read
The Ex-Wife, Bastard Sword (Cookies if you get these references)
+ 8 Upgrades
Sharpness: 12
Durability: 18
Accuracy: 10
Harry smirked "I'll take them both and upgrade all of their Accuracy by +3, Durability by +2 and Sharpness by +3.
The Morgul, Bastard Sword
+8 Upgrades
Sharpness : 18
Durability : 15
Accuracy: 11
The Ex-Wife, Bastard Sword
+ 8 Upgrades
Sharpness: 15
Durability: 20
Accuracy: 13
"Anything else?"
"Three throwing axes and twelve needles."
Harry paid and left equipping Morgul to his hip and headed out, Kirito spun the Anneal Blade around and noticed it was nearly out of durability.
"Kirito, I guessed your blade hasn't been repaired so I got a blade customed basically I came away with two blades."
Kirito stared "Let's see them."
Harry handed the Morgul and the Ex-Wife over to the Black Swordsman who fought back a smirk at the name of the blades "You're keeping the Morgul and I'm getting the Ex-Wife?"
Harry nodded and the pair quickly headed to where the boss room would be located. True to his suspicions the Boss chamber was actually in the dungeon nearby and the original Bossroom was actually a dungeon. "To clear the dungeon or not to clear? That is the question."
Kirito unsheathed the Wife "Not to clear."
Harry pulled up the messaged "Boss room found...Meet in three days." This message he sent to the group known as 'Clearers' but to Agil he messaged "Trolling everyone...Want in? Boss is near the same place as last time."
Agil found them within fifteen minutes "What's the troll?"
Harry smirked "The three of us will take the boss on. It's a Spider and if you remember it had four talwars and a nodachi...As long as we remember the fact the equipment may well have changed we should be good."
Agil nodded "Why are trolling them?"
"Aincrad Liberation intend to lead this raid..."
"Let's go kiddies. I'm in it for the drops though LAB would be beneficial it'll put me firmly on 36."
Harry and Kirito's eyes widened "You're level 34! Kirito and I are 33 and 32."
Agil chuckled "You two don't mind if I take command?"
Harry shrugged "I couldn't give damn providing I get to screw Aincrad Liberation Command over."
With that the doors opened and the trio stepped inside "Disable messages everyone."
The room was illuminated and Harry remembered it exactly "Orders?"
"Harry, Kirito; keep the minions busy. The moment you clear minions assist me in attacking the big mother directly." Ordered Agil as eight spider warriors appeared.
Harry unsheathed his blade and charged forwards, the Jumping Spiders stood no chance as the four of them launched simutaneously and they sailed cleanly through the air, their razor legs outstretched like mutated killing hair clips. Harry smirked and the Morgul cut them down like swatting a fly.
Agil rushed passed him in a green armoured blur "HERE'S ANDY!" He screamed as he clattered violently with the spider with the 'Ram' technique. It wasn't a unique skill like spirit blade but it was definitely a hard as fuck skill to aquire. It was well suited to the 'martial' technique but Harry lacked the physique for the technique...He needed to teach Agil 'martial' at some point. The spider's health dropped just over a third from the armoured charge and was reduced to red as Agil's soon to be patented 'Crunch' a two handed battle axe bit into the spiders flank.
Agil managed to parry the Spider's snapping pincers and jumped back as Widower's and Camels appeared. Widowers inflicted painful amounts of poison damage, Harry had died six times trying to kill four dozen widowers at once. Camels were bloody fast and weren't opposed to ganging up on players if able.
Kirito moved to intercept them Ex-Wife screaming yellow as he split them in half. From what he remembered the boss was weak but exceptionally fast but Harry and Kirito were slightly faster "If...ONLY...I...HAD...A...MORNING...STAR!" Panted Harry as he hammered his sword down cutting the arm holding a Talwar clean off.
The equipment was the same but the Spider was slightly faster. It's health had been depleted to its last healthbar, well it going to be if you keep knocking its limbs off. Agil had ripped the pincers of the mouth off and Harry and Kirito had dispatched two of the Talwars away and the latter had shattered the Nodachi.
"KIRITO! FINISH HIM!" Shouted Agil as he swung his axe dispatching more baby spiders and with a massive 'Linear' the spider dissolved into pixels along with the remiaining minions.
Harry jumped from 32 to 38, Kirito to 38 and Agil to 40 "How comes I got to Level 40?"
Harry groaned "I've got this XP tripler to the limit level of 45, the fact we're this powerful this soon indicates everything else is going to be kick in the balls."
Agil grinned activated the stairs "You two go on and get grinding. I'll stay behind and record the reactions to the trolls."
