(AN- Sorry to everyone who were thinking this would come out sooner. I did to but due to schools weird laptop distribution and my own bad choice this is late I will try to fix this from happening again to the best of my abilities. Otherwise Thanks for Drakenknight and DragonLord for the things I messed up. I will try to to fix that soon, but punctuation was always my weak suit…..that and details. Oh well on to the story!)
As I started to come to my only thoughts were 'Did I really fall asleep on the ground?' I still open my eyes due to the light in the room. Either my mom turned on the light and left or else Maverick is in the window again. Slowly my senses start to come back I can feel the hard ground. Its silent for the most part other than that light thumping sound, but I think is just the kids in the neighborhood kicking a ball around…..Weird if I'm in my house why is it so humid? (Thump)
As I hear that my eyes shoot right open and check my surroundings. From what I can see I am locked in a cell with another person. The cell looks rundown with all of the moss and fly's everywhere. 'Where the hell am I?' I look up toward the sunlight I see what looks like a man dressed in full armor…..'Whoa was that Oscar? Why is this happening? Why am I here? Why does everything feel fuzzy? Why is this man not moving?' As all of these questions shoot through my mind as I crawled over to check on the other man. Feeling his neck for a pulse I find nothing. My mind quickly rush to three thoughts 'I need to get out. Find the key. This is Dark Souls.' Oh god at the same time it's not good, but I have the thought of the key better have fallen off the body.
After checking the body I found the jail key I see my hand and oh my gawd my hand looks like I put a steam iron on my whole arm. I look like a leather rug. 'I'm hollow' I say but all that comes out is air. As I'm about to open the door a fly decides to dive bomb near my eyes. As I swat at it a bing sounds. As I look for the source of the the noise I see a floating box with four circles appear with what they are I try clicking to swipe to move it but it doesn't move. Next I try taping on the icon it pulls up the next menu for what my class and what my points are in. Ok everything looks the same but one thing…Why are all the points on 1 and why do I have the hair of a Wipple Wap!(A Wipple Wap is a dark character build with bobbed hair and is deprived) Well I hope I can change that with the knife….. Do I still have enough stats to use it if I still have it that is? Was I even given what I asked for before I passed out?
Scrolling through the inventory I notice a few things I do indeed have the thief's armor and fire bombs. I don't have the broken straight sword or my master key that comes with the thief's build. That one fact will wake this so much harder. Oh well I need to get out of here quick. I open the door to exit the cell and I look down the decayed corridor as I walk through the door the loud thumping sound gets louder and louder the closer I get down the alleyway. One of the cells is completely caved in, but the other one have one undead each and one of them is reaching through the bars to get me. Just no thanks Mr. Undead I don't know if you are still conscious of your actions.
Not only is the thumping getting closer the more I walk down this small hallway I also see a few hallow men sitting around. These if I remember right are still with the world, but they are only hallow not gone. So I start to walk by when the thumping stops. I turn to my right as quick as I can and see it the "Stray Demon" all I can say is I don't want to go there anywhere near the future. I run up the stairs to get to the ladder and climb to the top because if my theory of me being in Dark Souls. I will be safe at the bonfire. As soon as I get to the top I see one bonfire, but this is not the one I want right now so I run past the bonfire and run up the stairs to the door.
As I look at this door its massive. Oh well time to see if I can open it. Shove after shove I try to open the door eventually I get it open and observe the room ahead of me. It has a lot of pots with the center being clear of the obstructions there are a few marble spires holding up the roof. This is where the first boss of the game is the "Asylum Demon" this boss is the smaller and weaker version of the "Stray Demon" but with all my stats especially health being 1 this is going to suck. Thank god for me having the fire bombs. I only have ten so I have to make my shots count. As I slowly walk toward the center the ceiling caved in producing the monstrosity.
Man with all of my senses working properly I can clearly find the stench appalling. I have to deal with it though. Run around it t while it make its first attack toward. As he lunged himself forward I started chucking the firebombs. This are just like baseballs but back on topic. It only takes around 5 fireballs to kill it. I'm at three when the beast starts to turn around. I throw another. Oh lord he is about to slam the hammer down. I roll out of the way just in time as he just about skims me. I just noticed that there is a health meter for myself and the demon.
m/My health in the top right of my vision while the demons health is above its head. I chuck the last firebomb that will kill him. Well that wasn't too bad. I need to work on my rolling. A slammed into the ground without the momentum I needed. Now I start to run the last hallway that leads to where I was supposed to take a plunge on him, but I threw firebombs instead. But down the first set of stairs I find another bonfire.
Now let see how we do this. I think back to the crouching animation the chosen undead did to access the bonfire. So I just stick my hand over the flame and sit down to rest at it? I try this method and low and behold it lights and I have a new screen saying Leave or Kindle…I guess I have to leave the asylum to level up. Well with that quick I run ahead to grab my shield and knife kill the undead with that pesky bow. I ran up more stairs to the stairwell near where Oscar should be. I run up the stairs and the undead that is always up there sends a bolder my way. After I take one step to the right I follow the bolder to the whole it makes in the wall.
From here I can see Oscar wounded in a pile of rubble. As I approach he said" …Oh, you… You're no hollow, eh? Thank goodness. I'm done for, I'm afraid. I'll die soon, then lose my sanity. I wish to ask something of you. You and I, we're both Undead. Hear me out, will you?" As I tried to answer him all that came out was air" Don't worry" he said "Most when they are hallow can't speak as I can" I nodded "So will you hear me out?" I nod again "Regrettably, I have failed in my mission. But perhaps you can keep the torch lit. There is an old saying in my family. Thou who art Undead, art chosen. In thine exodus from the Undead Asylum, maketh pilgrimage to the land of Ancient Lords. When thou ringeth the Bell of Awakening, the fate of the Undead thou shalt know. Well, now you know. And I can die with hope in my heart. Oh, one more thing…Here, take this. An Estus Flask, an undead favorite. Oh, and this. Now I must bid farewell. I would hate to harm you after death. So, go now…And thank you…"
As I try to put the Estus flask to his mouth but he pushed it away. I gave him a confused look. "Please continue my mission. I'm too far into hallowing that when I die now I will lose my own consciousness." Another confused look. "Oh are you new to the concept of hollowing?" I nod. "Ah well it looks like you are in the first stage of hollowing. There are two other forms of hallowing. The one you are in is only rough skin. The next is the rough skin with red eyes and the third stage is the last…if you are this far it's too late this is where you have no control of yourself. But you must go now I can't keep thyn self here any longer. Farwell."
I slowly walk back to the room where I fought the Asylum Demon. Thinking 'How my journey has been so far and how much I'm going to lose if I die. My friends, my family, I'm in my fucking senior year and I have not lived 18 years just to give up! Let's go!' as I stand at the edge as the crow I have seen so many times before pick me up and fly me of into the distance.
(AN: As I have said before if I messed up. Also if anyone wants to help by reading it before I post it here to make sure all of my stupid mistakes are ok. Thanks for reading )
