The echoing blast of his Halo reach sniper rifle broke the silence, making several flocks of birds take wing and leave. Harold blasted wolf-fang's in the sinkhole they lived in, farming them at the safe distance at the lip of the massive hole in the ground. The wolf-fang was a mob with two health bars, looked like a grey wolf but had bird wings and had a living cobra tail. The beast's upper jaw was made of saber teeth, nasty if your get caught in its jaws. Pulling the empty magazine out of his rifle, Harold dropped it and put another one into it slot then loading the first bullet into the chamber. His ammo stats read 10/10, max bullets on the right and on the left was the bullets he had left in the magazine, no worries about how many magazines he had left. Looking down his scope, Harold pulled his trigger and turned another wolf-fang into polygons. He had left Liz and Sophia back at the inn so he could let off some steam after he was challenged by some over confident player. He had faced the player with nothing but his kaiju armor and had knocked out his opponent the moment the timer his zero, was it his fault that the player was a complete moron?
The main issue was the fact that Kirito had made the situation worse by putting all the blame on himself, calling himself a 'Beater'. This had lead to more people hating Beta testers, he would be having a certain talk with the black swordsman when they meet. "You want some help?" Harold glanced at the person who asked before returning to sniping the wolf-fangs. Sinon was behind him, a bow slung across her back and short sword at her hip. Her aqua hair glinting in the light, Sinon was the best shot with the bow in Aincrad, but her shot with a sniper rifle was beyond insane and into absurd. Summoning Sinon's sniper rifle, the PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate II, next to him, Harold said nothing and took out another mob, all without taking his eye off of his scope. "Thanks, Harold, glad you are still the same like in the beta unlike other players..." Sinon said as she took up her place next to the The Forgotten Echo and started sniping with him.
Harold and Sinon were the most well known players, besides Kirito, from the beta. Sinon with her sniper rifle, Harold with his abilities and Kirito was known for wielding a legendary black sword thus his nickname. The duo finished farming the wolf-fangs and Harold placed his rifle on his back, Sinon holding hers. The two had an unspoken rule, when they saw each other then Harold would add Sinon to his party and vise versa. Sinon accepted his party's request before Harold moved towards the inn, silent the entire way. When they reached the inn, Harold glanced at his HUDs clock. He had been going at the wolf-fangs for nine hours straight, a new personal record for him. Heading inside the inn, Harold paid the innkeeper for several more beds in his room, for the women of course. After paying, Harold lead Sinon to his room, Harold sighed "I'm beat, Sinon, I have a shower with my name on it." Sinon only rolled her eyes at Harold's words, she needed a shower as well but she knew that Harold had been going at it for longer than she did.
Upon entering the room, Harold made his way to his room for his shower. It was a quick one, he got his cloths back on before exiting. He entered the living room and sat on the couch, taking apart his rifle and started the ritual of cleaning it. "So, how was your day?" Liz asked when she entered from the kitchen, sitting next to him and pulling the barrel for her to help clean. "Long, but isn't it always long?" Harold asked rhetorically as he cleaned the scope's lense, making sure to go over it carefully. The two of them finished an hour later and his sniper lay on the table. Sinon entered with Sophia in tow, Harold couldn't believe how his world was so confusing as it only added to his already massive pile of problems. ' I got 99+ problems and all of them suck. ' Harold thought as he sat and half listened to the conservation of the three women. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep but that meant dreams or in his case, nightmares.
But his nightmares consisted of Voldemort trying to get his body back and was trying to find out where he was. He woke up in a sweat, his clothes sticking to his body. Screw Voldemort and his band of KKK rejects. He returned to the shower in his room and let the warm water fall on his body. Why was his life so messed up in some places? Getting dressed again, Harold heard a knock on the front door. Leaving his room, Harold walked up to the door, opened it and found a notice on the door. The second floor boss had been found, about time it was found too. Mostly ready for the boss, Harold went to wake the others, time was of the essence.
The months passed quickly, they were on the 11th floor after many problems. Harold walked down the quiet street of Taft, his cloak billowing in his wake as he moved down the street. The other girls had gone to find a place to rent until the 22nd floor was opened and they could get a permanent place to stay in. He was looking for a red player that went by the name of Gyminia , Argo had told him that this player was even worse than the one that had attacked both Sophia and him on the second floor. This player had pulled up the number of deaths to roughly 300 players, mostly female players. He then heard a muffled cry in the alley he had pasted, turned back to the alley and standing at the entrance, Harold snarled as he saw his target assaulted a young girl with a blue dragon.
"Get away from her, you disgusting pig..." Harold growled and gripped the hilt of his lightsaber tightly. The man turned and faced him, chuckling slightly then stopping when he saw Harold. "Your funeral, kid." Gyminia said before charging, pulling a dagger out. Harold activated his kaiju armor and pulled his weapon out, activating it at the same time. The man didn't stand a chance, his dagger shatter when it made contact with Harold's armor and was headless the next moment, the arc of Harold's lightsaber showing the path it took before fading. "Are you ok, Silica?" Harold asked as he looked at the dragon tamer. Silica looked at him before she said "I-I'm~" She fainted, Harold caught her before she could hurt herself by falling. Harold picked her up and walked away from the alley, taking Silica to where the others were...it had been a long day.
