uhg I had a great story planned for this chapter then realized that this game had cursors which told you if he was a criminal or not.

KIRITO'S POV (like always)

Its been two months since my apprentices came here. Both of them were coming along quite astoundingly. The blond one who was called Johnny black was becoming quite effective at poisons and usually carried around a few of them along with his knifes. While PoH was becoming a master of most the dark skills.

This is no time to be thinking about this I have work to do. I thought to myself. I was hidden in a shadow of one of the pillars at a roman type theater. The place was filled with people who were discussing the newly found first floor boss room.

It probably would have been found sooner without my teams interference. I thought remembering with pleasure the couple hundred player we killed.

Pay attention. This is important for my plans. I scolded myself for letting my mind wonder. I turned back to the theater stage where Diavel was filling people in.

"We have located the boss and this is the information about it." He said holding up a small book. I scanned it with one of my skills and saw that when it was in inventory it had a sixty-five percent chance of a successful pickpocket.

It seems that he raised his detection skill. I thought.

"And when his last health bar gets in the red, it will change it weapon to a Talwar and attack with a different attack style." He continued. "We will be in parties of eight, everyone join up." He said.

I noticed that one person didn't pair up. So did Diavel. He walked down and said to the person "If you plan to come with us you need to party up with some one." The player looked up and I was surprised that it was a girl.

She said "I don't team up with people. I work alone." Diavel said to her "Not on boss fights. If you want to solo, go elsewhere. But if you want to fight the boss, I still don't have a partner."

She got up and left.

That one seems like an interesting girl. Maybe I will have some fun with her while I wait for the people to leave.

I followed the girl for about ten minutes using my skill of evaluation I earned in the beta test to learn what she had. The only problem was that I had to have seen her use a skill to know its level and for stats I could see regular stats but not stats from equipment bonuses.

She was leveling up herself and was amazing me with her speed and agility. She had plowed through a group of forty boars with very little damage received and now was headed to a large pack of wolves.

She was doing pretty well until a wolf attacked her blind spot and damaged her quite a bit. I got an idea for a brilliant plan but it would need some altering later to make sure it didn't fall apart.

I quickly changed my armored clothing to that of normal clothing and took out one of the knifes I had in my inventory and waited till another wolf was attacking her new blind spot. I threw the knife impaling the wolf and then with my sword drawn charged in and killed some more of the wolves.

After the battle had ended she turned to me and said "I didn't need help. I could have handled them."

I nodded and said "Sure you could, but that wouldn't have helped me in gaining a new level."

"Why are you an orange player." she asked instantly alert when she noticed the cursor over my head.

"I stole some stuff I shouldn't have and I had to hurt some people." I said in a tone that sounded of grievance.

"What do you mean you had to hurt some people." She said still cautious but not threateningly so.

"I-I would rather not talk about it." I said practically drowning myself in self sorrow.

The act worked and she sheathed her sword. "Fine, but why did you really help me?"

"Because you needed help. and I wanted to talk with someone. It's lonely being alone." I said.

"It's not that bad I'm a solo player. I do things alone all the time." she said

"It's not the same. You are a green player people talk to you or even acknowledge you, even try to help you. While me being a lonely orange player is stuck with only the suspicious glance or other orange players talking about there crimes." I said acting like a pathetic loser.

"Well I guess this is good bye. Maybe I will see you again." I said. turning and walking away slowly.

"Good bye. That would be nice. You seem like a great person." she said waving

We parted ways and as soon as I was totally sure she was out of sight, I stopped acting like the pathetic fool. And went to go kill some people before the next phase of my plan started.

lolololol.101010101

Ahhh, it was so relaxing watching the people scream in agony and then burst into little shards of themselves, never to breathe again. I had just finished of a small group of players walking through the forest. Too bad that they didn't have any good loot. Not even much Col. I thought to myself in slight disappointment.

I then heard a noise so I went and crawled under one of the bushes and waited. There was a small group of players coming through. It held one little girl with browm hair and what looked like an animal on her shoulder, a few men in there twenties, and a teen girl with dark black hair.

I was close enough for my listening skill to pick up their conversation.

"I think we're lost. Maybe we should head back." The girl with black hair said.

One of the men turned to her and said "Oh live a little, Yolko. We aren't lost. The path just deteriorated and is overgrown. It will become better in just a little bit. Right, miss Silica."

The girl nodded and said "Yeah, this used to be a path for humans but some animals walked it too. I hope we can find a dragon I could tame."

The group smiled at the thought of the little beast tamer in front of them taming a huge dragon.

Just then a black shadowed man jumped out of the trees and killed on of the men. Yolko screamed and the other man charged at the unknown attacker. He swung his sword but missed when the player showed exceptional speed and dodged the attack. The attacker then swung his own sword which was deflected off the man's armor.

The battle lasted maybe one more minute with the attacker winning. The two girls stood with their back against the tree right next to me. I stood up equipping my sword.
