Chapter 05: First contract
"Oi, red player. You ready?" Today, is the day of my first contract. "Don't call me red player... Call me viper" After i bought the item from Egil yesterday, i can finally walk around as a green player. Well, my face's still emotionless and looked like i'm about to kill someone though haha.
We were on our way to the dungeon where the party's suppose to be today. As soon as we entered the dungeon, we were attacked by monsters. Since it wasn't my job, i kept out of the fight and looked around to see if Toffi was there, sadly, he wouldn't show himself.
As we ventured deeper into the dungeon, the monsters became stronger and stronger, as well as becoming more, and more. I wasn't carefull enough, and a monster appeared behind me, and was ready to swing it's axe, chopping my head right off. "Viper! Watch out!" The instant i heard these words, my senses started working again, and in a split second, i swung around, pulled out my katana, and chopped it's head right off. I took the axe, and while still in the turning motion from before, i swung the axe, and threw it towards a monster, splitting it in two.
"Well... You're not bad. You're pretty strong" Kamo, the only one in this group who didn't like the idea of having a player killer in the group, said to me. It was strange. I get thanks, even though i'm a red player. It wasn't a bad feeling, but it... It just didn't feel right.
Anyway, it was strange that Toffi didn't show up 'till then, and i had a really bad feeling.
As we approached the bossroom, i could feel some presences that weren't monsters. When we reached the bossroom, i knew why. Another party gahtered before the boosroom wanting to take it on.
"Oi! You wanna go at it too you guys?" A tall man with short black hair, and dark brown leather armor, who looked like he was the group leader, asked us. "Yeah. You were here first though, so we'll leave it to you" Our leader was a nice guy, he always followed strict rules. One of wich was, first come, first serve. Some could understand that wrong, but he knew that very well.
"Thank ya lads. Then let's go!" The group entered the boosroom, and the doors closed behind them. After a few moments, there was another presence coming from behind us. It was slow and tried to hide. It was Toffi. He had a high stealth skill, so it was hard to say where exactly he was, but when he swung his broad axe and tried to hit me, he lost focus, and i could feel his bloodlust.
As the axe swang down on me, i had just enough time to use my sheath and block the massive axe from splitting me in half. "Fuck am i lucky to have made my sheath out of metal" was what i thought when i directed his axe to swing into the ground. I could feel the air shake when his axe impacted into the ground. I expected so, but it was still suprising when he pulled out the axe from the ground without any effort at all.
"So you're the red player i heard about..." his voice was deep, and i could feel the aggresive undertone in his voice. When he stood up, i saw how muscular he actually was. He was around two meters tall, his arms where as big as a average sized head, and because he didn't wear a shirt, you could he his sixpack. "Damn this guy's fucking muscular!" I thought.
"You're Toffi, right?" i said with a voice as cold as ice. I should've know, but how it looked like, he didn't like how i spoke with him. " So what if i am?" His voice boomed trough the empty halls of the dungeon once more. I could see that my party members already had shivers wandering down their spines. It was understandable. His voice was really terrifying. You rarley hear voices as intimidating as his nowadays, so everyone would be at least a little suprised.
I countinued talking with the words "I'm here to kill you so you wont mess with other anymore". As everyone would've guessed, he got angry and shoutet "YOU WANT TO KILL ME?! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH YOU FUCKING TWERP!" If his voice would've been this loud in the real world, my eardrums woul probably have bursted. Not just of the volume of his voice, but also because it was just such a voice.
"If you want to kille me, then come at me!" he said while taking the axe in both hands, holding it like a baseballbat. It looked like he wanted to take me out with one strike.
I took my standard opening stance, and with the words "Let's go down to buisness" we dashed at each other, clashing our weapons together and looking each other in the eyes. From the outside we probably looked like some random maniacs. But it was so much fun...
