Ok, heres Chapter 3. For all of you who are wondering, my mind finally had a competent thought about this chapter. Took me forever to figure out how to do the exp system. Instead of saying Consider, I will more then likely use conned or some other shortened word. In fact, to save time, I will use shortened versions of a lot of words.
Here we go, Chapter 2: Training
BlUeMeCuRy - Thanks andI will try my best. And no, I didn't know that mean that,I only know a few elements in Japanese like Mizu-water, Katon-fire, Kage-shadow, Doton-earth, Raiton-Lightning, and Suna-sand.
When Lester and I stepped foot outside, we were amazed at how high the tree's went. It looked like we were dwarves in a Great Oak forest. Snapping out of our state, we headed out into the forest.
"So Lester, shall we find something to fight?" I asked. After getting a nod in response, we started running around, all the while staying at least within sight distance of the Entrance. It wouldn't do us anygood to run from one fight into another enemy would it? We searched high and low and finally found our first enemy, a Garter Snake. After conning it, and it ending with a white rating, we got set up for battle.
With a Roar, Lester uses Burst of Flame to shoot a small fireball at the oponent that explodes upon contact while i run up and try to slash it with my dagger. The small explosion barely damaged the snake and when I tried to slash the snake, it slithered to the side and jumped at me, fangs barred. I jumped out of the way but the snake left a small scratch on my arm. I snarled and tapped it's life once before aiming a stab at its head. When my shot missed, I jumped to the side and Lester cast another Burst of flame on it. The Explosion caught the snake in a daze where I quickly jumped in and stabbed it in the head. When I removed the dagger from it's head, it let out a hissing sound then turned over and started fading away. Where the snake stood, a snake fang and a venom sack laid, strange enough, clean and preserved. After storing the items in our inventory, we stood still for a few minutes not only catching our breath, but reveling in our first kill. We knew that we should be shocked but it actually felt good to kill that snake. We chalked it up to us being anime fans and watching lots of violence in Japanese anime.
We then searched the surrounding area for any monsters. Sighting a spot of white disappearing behind a tree, I motioned for Lester to follow and we headed torwards my find. When we reached the tree, we saw nothing. A rustle of a bush to our right alerted us to that area where a Decaying Skeleton stood. I unsheathed my dagger in preperation of a fight while Lester pulled out his. With a shout, we both casted our damage spell, Life Tap and Burst of Flame. The skeleton looked like a saddened flame ball. That caused us to chuckle. The skeleton charged us, now sporting an enraged face, while swinging its slightly brownish white fist at us. Bringing my dagger up to block, I parried the attack to the side while sidestepping, which made it overextend and stumble forward. While it was trying to regain balance, I did a quick slash to its arm, which chipped a small piece off. I jumped back and Lester dashed in, chipping another piece off, this time from its calf region.
While he slashed at the skeleton with his dagger, I jumped back and got ready to cast a Life Tap, which I did when Lester jumped back, only getting nicked by the skeleton's fist while retreating. The Skeleton finally fell to into a heap of bones on the floor and started fading away. Where it stood were the two bone chips that we chipped off. I quickly gathered them up and started another incantation. After a minute of casting, I finally finished and when the light died down, there in front of me stood a darkish white skeleton, of about five foot seven inches. It kneeled down in front of me then stood up and sent a questioning gaze at me.
"What is thy bidding Master?" asked Bonewalker.
"Protect me BoneWalker." I said.
"Guarding you Master!" replied BoneWalker, who then proceeded to scan the surrounding area for any threats. When Lester and I started traveling again, BoneWalker followed. We scoured the surrounding brushes and found a Black Wolf scouting for a meal. Upon seeing us, It let out a blood curtling howl and charged. I commanded BoneWalker to attack, to which he ran at the wolf and hit it on it's right side with a quick jab. The jab told the wolf one thing, skeleton is enemy, must kill enemy. The wolf bounced back and bit BoneWalker in the foot, breaking off a toe. I caster Life Tap on it, then ran up to slash it. Lester had already charged in and stabbed it in the back left foot, cutting its mobility down by 25 percent. When it saw Lester run in and stab it, the Wolf decided that Lester was more of a problem and changed targets, clawing Lester in the leg. I slipped in, disabling his other leg, then aimed a stab at its head, but it pushed off with it's two front paws, springin into the air...and directly into BoneWalker, who slammed it's fist into the wolf's head, finishing it off. It let out a short but still chilling howl, then went limp, falling on its side. After it had finished vanishing, there was a couple silver coins on its body which me and lester split between us.
We rested for a minute, then went off hunting a little while more, effectively vanquishing another two skeletons, both which had staffs. which we equipped, another Black wolf, and three more Garter Snakes. We now had five Bone Chips, four Snake Fangs, two Skane Venom Sacks, a Chunk of Wolf Meat, and about five Gold between Lester and I.
Okay, ending the chapter here. The Exp system will just be a random number of fights, which will grow immensely each level to where it will take forever to level in the mid 40s. BoneWalker will be the name of all my Skeleton summons, and all other summon's will keep their name. Lester's is only difference. His Earth will have one, his Water will have one, his Wind will have one, and his Fire will have one. I will add Elemental Damage into this also. Around level 20, we will get our last names and something special will happen.(hehe...I love surprises.)
