Alright! Here comes chapter 4! I heard a friend tell me that this was the best story I have written so far. Do you think so? Read my other stories and tell me about it! Well you don't have to but I still want you to review! It helps me when I write. I have a review that says "This story is badass 10/10" well 'MOON IS COOL,' you're badass! I would also like to think 'co0ldo0d' for reviewing as well. So you others have to review! Come on! Anyway, here is the story and I hope you like it.
Ch. 4
We walked into the bar as Leafa made fun of my slight southern accent. I pouted at her and she just laughed. But I still couldn't wait to tell the others I had actually killed something! Leafa nudged me ahead and everybody looked at us.
"I killed something, guys!"
They all laughed and cheered to make me feel better. I mean, they were like 80 levels higher than me, at least. I waved them off and they stopped laughing but kept smiling. I rolled my eyes and sat down on the chair. Leafa sat by me and whispered,
"You don't want to train some more?"
I shook my head at her,
"Nah. I'll train later or something. Besides, didn't you say that you guys had another friend coming?"
She smiled big with bright green eyes that made me melt.
"Yep. He's actually the guy who owns this place. He's super cool and he gives us drinks for free. But if you piss him off, he'll hammer you hard into the ground." She thought about what she just said and then added, "No-Homo."
I nodded slowly with a weird face and took a bite of the bread Kirito had brought us. Even eating in the game felt normal and I'm pretty sure the food was designed to taste way better. I was on my second piece when a person came into the bar. He was a massive and bulky black man with a brown goatee and brown eyes. He also had two silver earrings on his left ear. He was super tall and a white line ran through his left eye. I turned to Leafa and whispered,
"Who the fuck is that!?"
She giggled and punched my arm playfully.
"That's Agil, silly! He's the third guy in our group."
I sighed in relief and smiled wide. Does that mean…..I have a black friend! Hell yeah! He walked over to us and tilted his head at me.
"Agil, this is Thorn, the new addition to our group."
He laughed out loud and slapped my back, hard.
"Finally! We have another guy in the group! I'm Agil and I own this bar so if you need anything you can just ask me."
"Thanks, Agil!"
I looked around fast and then whispered in his ear.
"Not to be rude but….I've never seen a black Asian before….."
"Haha, I'm actually African-American but moved to Japan."
I went "ohhhhhh" and laughed along with him. I glanced at Leafa for a second and it looked like she was gonna say that I was 'American' again. I quickly covered her mouth with my hand and she blushed. I made a "shhhh" sound and she smiled at me, taking my hand away from her face. It was about ten more minutes before I started getting bored eating bread with Leafa. But it was pretty nice to spend time with her. She WAS my first friend here. I stood up from the table and stretched, Leafa looking up at me. I made my way to the front door and waved at them from behind,
"I'm going to go train, so I will see you guys later!"
They all said bye and I closed the door. I didn't get five steps before a montage of friend requests appeared in front of me.
You have received a friend request
By Kirito
Do you accept?
X O
NO YES
I heard a few giggles from inside the bar as I clicked the circle button on each request. I pretty much felt exhausted after I finished accepting the request and reading information crap about the person. I shook my head as I jogged to the field Leafa just took me too. I found one of the same monsters I had killed before and took my stance.
Thorn /================l 19:03
HP: 5000/5000
The monster charged at me and I smiled, knowing what to do. I was just about to attack when an announcement appeared in front of me and I gasped. The monster ran right over me, flipping me on the ground and earning a groan or two.
"What the fuck is it this time!?"
I opened the letter and said,
On behalf of ALfheim Online,
We would like to congratulate you on
Making more than 1 friend!
Reward: 2 Yrd!
I stared at the letter and my face got red. I decided to take it slow and calm down. But it didn't work as I pressed the delete button fifty times before it actually went away, due to me creating lag. So that's what they were giggling about…..I'm so gonna kill them when I reach level 100…I picked up my sword and faced the monster who was waiting for me to proceed. It charged at me, once more, and I slashed my sword at it. It blew to pieces and I got a loud music sound in my head.
Congratulations!
You have Leveled Up!
Exp: 25
Yrd: 31
New HP: 5200/5200
All stats: +1
Yes! I leveled up! So that means I am level two. I also got a message that said that it would now show my level right beside my name. I smiled as I deleted the message and all of the anger from, before killing the monster, was gone. The monster I had just killed reappeared but I wanted to try a monster stronger than that. I looked around to see a lv. 2 boar walking around and eating some grass. It had two red eyes and it looked pretty menacing. But it was only lv. 2 so it didn't seem all that of a threat. It looked at me slowly and huffed a puff of smoke from its mouth. I gripped my sword and ran at it.
Thorn Lv. 2 /=============l 19:07
HP: 5200/5200
It counted its hoof in the dirt a couple of times and ran at me. It was faster than I thought it would be but I dodged it, just in time. It stopped in its tracks and cried out with I slashed its back. It was still alive when I did this and it dug its snout in my stomach. The air escaped from my mouth and I flew back. I panted and looked at my health. It said it was at 4800/5200, which wasn't a big deal but I still had to be careful. I stood up from the ground and glared at the boar. I ran at the boar with a battle cry, like no other, and stuck my sword right into its eye. It finally died and I got about 40 exp and 45 Yrd. I continued this until I got to level 5 and deemed that I was good for the day. It was now about 20:21 in the real world. So I decided to go to the store and buy some equipment before I logged out for the day. I walked in the city and looked around. I couldn't really buy anything from most of the stores. Just the beginner ones, basically. I walked around in the shop and found this cool, lv. 5 required black armor with gold stripes. I had spent about 500 Yrd on drinks for Leafa and me a while ago. But when I combined the 500 remaining with the Yrd I had acquired from killing monsters, I had about 2000 Yrd now. Luckily, the armor was 1800 Yrd and so I bought it. It raised my defense by 5 and I grinned. I'm really starting to love this game. I have friends and armor and can kill things! Hell yeah! I finished my purchase with the shopkeeper and she thanked me for my services. I was about to log out but then I got a message,
Hey! I really want to ask you something,
So can you please come by the bar
When you can?
Thanx! Leafa.
I grinned and blushed at the letter. I wonder what kind of question she is gonna ask me. Maybe she wants to go train with me again, hehe. Well whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be freaking awesome! I walked to Agil's bar with my armor on and Leafa was leaning on the railing in front of the building. I waved at her and it looked like she blushed when she saw me. I smirked because I probably looked epic in my new armor. I reached her and she stood straight again. I noticed that I was a little taller than her but we were still basically eye level. She poked my stomach and I laughed,
"Cool Armor bro…where'd you get it?"
"The beginner's shop in the city. You like it?"
She just nodded and smiled. I leaned on the railing this time and asked her,
"So what kind of question did you want to ask me?"
"Well, I see that your lv. 5, now so this is better. We were going on a monster raid tomorrow and we wanted you to come with us. Every time someone kills something it divides the exp. evenly and you'll level up faster that way."
I nodded my head as she talked,
"Sooooo….You wanna join us tomorrow at….14:00?"
"Sure! Sounds a lot of fun, as long as you protect me, haha."
She smiled gently at me,
"Don't worry Thorn, I got you, hehe."
She blushed and I smiled at her warmly. She started fanning her face and I looked at her with worry.
"Hey, you okay?"
She looked at me and gasped,
"Yeah! Yeah, I'm okay! Don't worry!"
I nodded and looked at the time in the top right corner of my vision. It was getting late and I had to tell Mr. Harrison SOMETHING about the game. She looked at me and understood.
"Aww…..you have to go?"
"Yeah I do…..sorry…..but I will definitely make it tomorrow, okay!"
She grinned and nodded her head. I brought up the menu and clicked the log out button. waving to her, I disappeared and woke up in my bedroom. I looked out the window and the city lights shined brighter than the stars. I took off the Amusphere and dialed Mr. Harrison's number real quick. I hope it's not too late…He answered the phone after two rings and sounded cheerful, as always.
"Thorn! I was wandering when you would call! So tell me about the game, are the graphics good?"
I smiled as he spoke with excitement,
"Yeah they are totally awesome. The game feels so real to the touch and the combat system is killer!"
"I'm glad to hear it! That's all I needed to know so far, but I do have one more question before I hang up."
"Yeah, what's that?"
"Do you like the game, in general, so far?"
I looked at the Amusphere for a minute and then back at the window,
"I love it."
