Floor 28
I was lying down on the bed in my inn room when I heard a knock. I got up, half naked and opened the door. It was Akane, she's a girl I met while hunting. She looked shaken up so I asked "what's wrong?"
She looked at me about to burst into tears "m-m-my party... Was murdered by l-l-la-laughing c-coffin..." She starts crying! Shocked, I just hugged her to comfort her and I offered to let her stay in my room and I'll sleep on the floor. She agreed.
The next morning I woke up and got up, I look on the bed and she's asleep, I message Kaiba and Bacchus and tell them to go to the dungeons without me. I get dressed, my outfit had a long sleeveless cloak with a hood, a scarf to cover my face during battle, a gray tank top, black pants and boots. I sat on the table and waited, reading the newspaper. I hear a groggily moan, I look over at Akane "goodmorning."
She looks at me "Goodmorning Rin" and proceeds to rub her eyes. I buy her breakfast and we head out around town. "Rin it's my first time at this town can we look around?"
"Sure just don't get lost."
She holds on to my arm "I won't."
We walk and I see someone very... Suspicious... Not that I was any different looking like an assassin. I shake it off and show Akane the town, at around 2:00 she gets hungry so we eat lunch at this npc restaurant.
"Akane... Can you tell me what happened...?"
"My party was hunting and we saw a person, we asked who it was and a shadowy looking person came out with a tattered green cloak, he then proceeds to laugh maniacally as more and more people appear, and he... And he..." I put my hand over hers on the table
"Calm down... I'm here"
She gives me a nervous smile
"...thank you Rin..."
We then go out into the field, I put my hood up and cover my face using the scarf so no one knows who I am. I have a reputation. Around sundown we hear rustling in the trees. I unsheathed my blade and looked around. I pulled Akane close to me as a group of people came out of the trees. I counted 15-20 people. By my guess they were level 27, I was level 35, it was going to be tough.
"Akane stay back"
One of the members laugh, I think the leader.
"Who are you her boyfriend?! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!"
Another guy looks at me.
"No freaking way... One handed sword, no shield, sleeveless hooded coat, scarf as mask, I think they call him... The Black Knight or some shit like that..."
"THAT MAKES HIM EVEN MORE FUN TO KILL!"
"YEAH"
"ALL OF YOU GET THE FIRST TREAT, BUT I WANT THE LAST HIT."
They charge at me, I block most hits and punch a couple of dudes, I combat roll and cut someone's leg as I shove a throwing nail in someone's neck, the pixelated blood evaporating in the sky. I get rid of ten people before my health goes to red. There was 7 more but I couldn't handle it, I blocked most of them. As my health kept draining I heard Akane scream "RIIIN!" Then I heard the guy attacking me choke on blood. I look up and see Kaiba.
"Miss me?"
"Motherfucker"
The boss looks at us, then yells at his troops "KILL THEM, KILL ALL OF THOSE BASTARDS" Bacchus pulls me back to Akane as I lay on the ground, my health regenerating slowly. Akane is holding me in her arms as I heal thanking me. The other two finish the other 6. And the boss fled.
Three days later
I count up all three of our savings funds, we have 500,000 col, enough for a house and furniture. I scream in excitement as Akane runs into the room. I tell her and she runs to tell everyone else. We head to the town of beginnings and buy a house on Floria with three bedrooms, Akane has been living with me for the past few days so I asked her if she wanted to move in. She said yes, thankfully and we enjoyed that.
