Delirious POV
Soon, they had searched everything and made a small camping place for the night. In total, they had found two dozen water bottles, four food packs, two sleeping bags, a switch blade, a dagger, a katana, bow and some arrows, two hiking backpacks, and a few blocks of wood.
"Does time go by the same as the outside world?" Delirious suddenly asked as they sat by the homemade fire. "Oh, and how come the zombies don't attack us here? Oh, oh! When do I choose my class? Also, what creature and class are you?" Mini laughed at the curious little fox whose foxy tail wouldn't stop moving back and forth in impatience.
"You sure are a curious fox. Yes, time does move different. A week here is a day in the real world. It helps when it comes to the grinding of this game. But it still feels like a normal week." Delirious switched from his sitting position to laying on his stomach. His tail still swinging side to side. "The zombies do not register this as a place. To them, it does not exist. After you leave here, it will disappear to you too. You won't be to enter it again."
Mini took a sip of water before continuing, "You will be able to choose your class whenever you finish your first five fights. That way the game can give a recommendation of what class you use best." Mini's wolf tail swinged side to side. "As for what creature I am," Mini began before noticing the look of the fox's face before adding, "And what class, I am a werewolf as classic as that is. But I take after the Japanese werewolf."
Delirious gained an enthralled look before looking at him with a bright smile (that blinded Mini), "We are creatures from the same country!" Mini giggled in the same excitement before continuing, "Before I tell you which class I am, I'm going to go out on a limb and think that you have no clue what classes you can choose from?" Delirious only ducked his head in embarrassment.
"The light classes: priest (magic and healing), shaman (fights with ghosts), and healer (can only use healing magic and a weapon)." Mini brought up pictures with this. "The neutral classes: knight (specializes in swords), archer (bow and arrow), and warrior (both but not as skilled as the other two with their own weapon)." More pictures. "The dark classes: thief, mage (magic but no healing), and assassin. Which are all pretty self explanatory." Three more pictures popped up.
"And then there is the secret classes which you can only obtain by doing secret missions." Delirious's eyes widened in excitement. "Dragon slayer (which lets you gain super senses, heighten abilities, and a special power), you have to kill a dragon in your first five fights. Fairy mage (which lets you use both magic and healing at its best), fight with a fairy, which is rare to find, in your first five fights." The two classes appeared. A pink haired boy appeared with a scaled scarf. Next to him appeared a small blonde little girl with green eyes.
"The hunter (which lets you have the ability to detect everything and everyone and a strange gift), you have to kill over 50 in your first five fights. The demon knight (which is the stronger version of knight with a small hint of magic, you have to kill morbidity every fight. The angel warrior (which gives you wings, better skill with weapons, and a small hint of healing and magic), you have to not kill in any of your first five fights." Three pictures appeared of a two men (who looked like they were brothers) fights off monsters left and right, a short man who had a lemonade in his had with a red pitchfork in it, and a dark haired man in a trenchcoat.
"And finally a class no one has achieved. The peacekeeper. This class gives you the ability to bond with all animals and (as you get higher in level) creatures, along with to tame wild animals and creatures. You can even summon them in desperate times, if they are not near you. To achieve this, you must fight with an animal or creature who has complete faith that you have their backs. In your first five fights." Delirious stared in amazement.
"I wonder which class I will be? But what class are you?" He exclaimed loudly.
"I am a fairy mage. I bonded with a little ice fairy, Chilled. I got your back." Mini then precedes to pump his chest in a sloppy matter. Delirious giggled again before yawning. "I guess we better go to sleep. But be prepared after tonight, we start watches."
Delirious nodded his head sleepily and his ears flopped, "One last question, how come I don't feel as sad anymore?"
"Because the game doesn't allow that emotion in unless it is too strong." Mini whispered softly to the almost asleep Delirious. He then preceded off in slumber.
"Del, wake up." Mini's voice softly penetrating Delirious's sleep. His light shakings slowly bringing Delirious into the somewhat real world. "Mini?" Delirious's soft morning voice cut through the walls.
"Yeah, time to get up. We can't stay here forever and the zombies are less active in bright sunlight." Delirious slowly got up. He was then handed a energy bar. He looked at Mini confused. "It was in one of the food packs." He ate it slowly as Mini cleaned up everything. After finishing his breakfast, he grabbed his katana before looking at it questioningly.
"Mini? How am I-?" He was cut off by Mini giving him a clothmade belt. He put his sword in. "How did you-?"
"It comes with every character model but yours didn't appear for some reason."
"Ah." Delirious responded intelligently.
"You ready?" Mini asked Del. Del responded by making his way to the exit, his tail wagging in excitement. Mini couldn't help but feel like he was mothering Delirious. He couldn't help that either though because Delirious could be so adorable and so soft-spoken then the next moment be excited and loud.
After a moment of silence, the kitsune spoke again, "So does zombies count on the first five fights?"
"Actually, it doesn't. I don't know why." Mini scratched his head.
"Oh. It still levels you though?" Mini looked outrageous at the question, "Of course. The zombies even drop special weapons and items." Soon, they quieted down and creeped silently. They started heading out into a forest, following a paved road.
"How often do you encounter zombies?" Delirious pondered out loud. Mini whispered to him, "Mainly in towns and cities. Rarely in the rural areas because of the other creatures." Their conversation was cut off by a howl of pain. Mini and Delirious questioned each other with their eyes.
The second howl is what got them to move. Mainly canine instinct said help. They ran off the road, dodged trees left (and some right), and finally ended up in a clearing with bad injured wolf fighting an ugly troll like creature. Absently, Delirious noted how fast he was going and that he should probably ask Mini about that later.
"LEAVE THE WOLF ALONE, YOU UGLY FUCK!" Delirious exclaimed, his steel blue eyes burning with rage.
"WHAT HE SAID!" Mini yelled, before shooting arrows. Taking the hint, Delirious unsheathed his katana before wielding it perfectly against the troll. Soon the fight was over.
"Mini! Can you heal the wolf?" Delirious pleaded, his eyes showing immense worry.
"Yeah, as long as he or she lets me." They both turned to the wolf who was staring at Delirious. The wolf nodded. They both blinked before Mini began healing the wolf. After the wolf was healed, the wolf lifted his leg up. Yes, he was trying to say he was a he. "It's ok, boy. You can go home." Delirious said softly to the wolf. The wolf shook his head before placing himself on Delirious's feet. He rubbed his scent onto Delirious. "I think he is saying you are his now." Mini noted astoundingly. Suddenly, more trolls appeared.
"The last troll counted as one... Does this only count as two?" Mini could only shake his head yes to Delirious's disappointment. The wolf began growling at the group of trolls. Mini aimed his arrow. Delirious picked his katana off the ground.
"LET'S GO, BITCHES!" Delirious let out this war cry before cutting through the trolls with the help of the wolf and Mini. After ten minutes of constant fighting, they finally won. The trolls ended up dropping one scroll and troll skin.
"We could make armor out of the skin..." Mini thought outloud, "But then again, we could make a bed for the wolf too."
The wolf jumped at that idea in agreement. Delirious laughed his adorable laugh which made both the wolf and Mini go nuts. After too many licks and lots of moments he couldn't breathe, he finally got them to calm down.
"Say, wolf? You have a name?" Del questioned to the wolf. The wolf nodded before motioning to his black coat of fur. "Midnight?" The wolf nodded with glee. Meanwhile, Mini was staring at Delirious in shock. How did he-?
"Mini, we should read the scroll." Mini took a moment to shake his head out of his amazement before nodding in agreement and pulling it out. "It says,
'The magic scroll of Hade.
Contains the abilities to summon ghosts and fight with shadows.
Side effect: deathly pale and easier to fall low on health'
What do you wanna do with it?" Mini asked, looking at Delirious and Midnight.
