Login 5: Romance in Battle…
"Balmung." Lumir called out as she walked up to him in the theta server. "Hello there my fair lady. I see that you have gotten my message. That is good, very good." Balmung said holding out his hand to her. Lumir took his hand and they went to an area that was not accessible to regular player characters. "So this place has viruses in it. But how do we get to the tower?" Lumir asked. "I'm only at level 1." Lumir sighed. Balmung ran his fingers through Lumir's hair and smiled, "Don't worry my fair lady I will help you get stronger. But we must secure this area before any viruses leave it." "Okay." Lumir agreed. Balmung used a grunty flute and called out a grunty, the iron grunty. This grunty had red brown eyes and metal all over it. "Wow Balmung this grunty is cool." Lumir said petting it. "Master to where do you want me to take you?" the iron grunty asked Balmung. "It talks!" Lumir said in surprise. The iron grunty turned to her, "Yes, we grunties as adults are able to speak clearly as we grow larger in size and older in age." Lumir smiled. "Lumir you can also raise a grunty by giving it grunty food-the main idea is that certain food gives it positives and negatives." Balmung explained. "Oh…well can you teach me how to raise a grunty Balmung-I mean later on after this." Lumir said cheerfully. "Sure but for now," Balmung picked Lumir up and placed her on the grunty. Balmung sat behind her making sure that she wouldn't fall. "Lets go!" Balmung ordered. "Yes, Master." The grunty began to run through the monster portals. Monsters were already walking around free. Lumir held on to the grunty firmly every time she saw a large monster.
Balmung laughed, "So you haven't seen many monsters have you?" "No I haven't been to many areas lately. I mean I have been hanging around the delta server trying to scoop information about the little girl. My cousin Dishoru haven't found a clue-even the players he knows don't know a thing." Lumir said looking at the sky. This area was a water type one, but it was snowing and dark. "Does he have any connections to hackers?" Balmung asked curiously. "No, I doubt it. He's such a good kid." Lumir smiled. "I know that Dishoru has his shady connections with some hackers but Balmung doesn't need to know that or Dishoru is gonna be in big trouble here." Lumir thought. As the two approached the tower, the grunty disappeared. "So this is it. The virus is in here." Lumir said. Balmung nodded. "Lets go, we can't let it corrupt any more data or one of the system administrators in going to suspect something." Balmung said as he took her hand. The two entered the tower and walked through the hallway. "Hold on Balmung…" Lumir pulled out a fairy orb. "We got to see if there are any portals in any rooms." Lumir said as she threw it up in the air. "Yeah, you're right." Balmung said.
Lumir began walking with Balmung in front of her and they encountered some treasure chests. "Hey Balmung, why are there two treasure chests but one is blue and the other one is yellow?" Lumir asked. "The blue one has treasure but it also has a trap, use fortune wire to remove the trap. If you don't use a fortune wire you get a low level treasure and a side affect of being endangered." Balmung explained. "Okay," Lumir pulled out a fortune wire and the opened the treasure chest. "Hey a scroll." Lumir said cheerfully. "I guess you use it for magic spells, right Balmung?" "Yeah that's right." Balmung nodded. "Okay Lumir are you ready?" he asked calmly. "Yes." Lumir said as they walked in to a large room. This room had statues with flames on the top of them but there was a yellow portal in the middle of the room. The portal disappeared with monsters rampaging.
"Well, this is our battle to win." Balmung said pulling out his sword. "Yeah, I am ready for them." Lumir smiled as she took her heavy blade off her back. A goblin charged at Lumir but she pulled a scroll out saying, "Hanged Man!" With these words the goblin fell back confused and paralyzed. Lumir started to slash at it until it disappeared. "Vak don!" Balmung called out sending fire to Headless monster. The monster disappeared instantly. The last monster looked like a dragon thought is seemed a bit smaller than one in fairy tales. The dragon flew to Lumir and knocked her off balance. "Crap…" Lumir mumbled and yelled, "Rue rum!" Water started surrounding the dragon completely but it took most of its health away. Balmung jumped into the sky and slashed the dragon to the ground. "This is fun." Lumir said rubbing the blood of her arm. "You got damaged a bit but that won't stop us." Balmung held his hand out to Lumir, "Ol repth." Lumir's body started glowing green and she gain complete health. She also began to glow blue. "Hey what the-!" "You have gain a few levels higher. This area is a level 25. So you may get hurt a bit badly but I'll protect you. So now you are at level 7. Good, more battles will increase your strength and health." Balmung explained.
"Wow, I am still at a low level though. You seem pretty strong though-you are at a level 50 something aren't you?" Lumir asked. "Yeah, 59. I don't say much about it since I have been here since the world's prototype was created." Balmung said glancing at his sword. "The world has so much to offer but it also has its black box. You understand that?" "Yes, this world I amazing but there are mysteries that we haven't found a clue to yet. Now I feel sort of useless to that." Lumir sighed. Balmung patted her shoulder, "Hey, it's okay. You are still new but you are learning quickly at the battling and environment of the world. I'm impressed. Even you didn't have to use the engraved mark to fight. I'm seeing you have a great success with rpgs." Lumir held her head down in embarrassment. "I guess you could say that I started playing video games when I was a kid but now I am addicted to them-especially this one. The world is still very new but the clues are coming together now like pieces of a puzzle: hackers, the girl in white, the power to data drain, ncps that believe they exist on the outside…This is starting to make sense." Lumir said.
Balmung smiled and kissed her cheek. "That isn't bad as long as you are still you then that's fine with me my fair lady." "Thanks Balmung, you know most people think I am weird because I like video games more than that make up crap girls like." Lumir said cheerfully. "That's fine with me. I never knew a girl like you interested in this." Balmung said looking around. "Now lets find that virus." Lumir suggested. "Yes." Balmung agreed as the two continued on.
"Hey Kite!" Memory ran over to Kite with a smile. Kite smiled back with a light blush on his face. "Hey Memory, I thought you wouldn't show up." Kite said walking up to Memory. "I am sorry for being late-I had to talk to Lumir. I needed some Advice. It was about our relationship; she told us to keep it low for now…" Memory said. "Yeah, that sounds pretty good." Kite said. "So you and Lumir have the same powers basically." Memory started focusing on the purpose. "Yeah it sounds simple the way you put it, but I have a bracelet and Lumir has a crest engraved in her chest. Somehow I don't think the world wants us to go public." Kite said as they walked into to the chaos gate. "So that means we want to find out who or what is behind the world. And also why the system administrators are doing nothing of the sort." Memory said shaking her head.
"Yeah, that's right. You catch on quick Memory. Oh wait we got to go to the weapons shop. I got some money for us to spend." Kite said handing Memory some gold. "Oh uh okay." Memory said as she glanced down at the coins. The two ran over to the weapon's shop. Memory bought some scrolls and a new staff while Kite bought some new twin blades. A male wave master and a purple colored cat with light yellow eyes confronted them. "Hey you!" the cat said. The cat had long tipped rabit length ears and shape of a human female. Kite turned around, "Uh me?" "Yes you. That's a nice bracelet you got there." The cat pointed out. "Do you see it?" Kite asked. "Yes, don't tell me you can't see this beautiful bracelet." the cat said smiling. "Well I have to get going now. We will meet again." The cat said as she walked away. The wave master with the silver hair and red eyes stumbled as he ran after the strange looking player. "Mia! Wait up…I don't see any bracelet." The wave master said. "Uh, that was weird…don't you think Kite?" Memory asked. "Yeah but how come she can only see my bracelet…" Kite said.
