Hi everyone! I'm back~! ^^ I got two new reviewers! Yay! Thank you Random person and SeaDevil! I am so happy! –Happy dance with candy sticks-
Heng Shi: Would you cut that out…
-Freezes and slowly turns around-
Heng Shi: -Hardest death glare ever-
-Backs away slowly- Hehehe… I thought I send you into a black hole…
Heng Shi: Yes you did, but you forgot my power to turn back time. I lost a lot of energy, and now you have to replace it…
-Runs away for my life- Waaah! Don't kill me! –Hides behind stone wall and types on computer quickly-
Heng Shi: Why can't I move?
-Snickers and look over the edge of the stone wall- Do you want to be attacked by fangirls instead?
Heng Shi: -Hard glare- I'll pass.
Yay! Heng Shi is back, and now I can annoy him even more! ^^ This is all thanks to SeaDevil that I talk with Heng Shi again, and I personally am happy with that.
Heng Shi: Well I hate this, I can't even move… Stupid computer powers… -Gives death glare to SeaDevil- I'll kill you when I get my hands on you…
Anyway, enjoy my chapter~! ^^ (The beginning will just be some of Heng Shi's thoughts.)
After making the deal with Jing, I immediately regret it. I can't stand being in the same room as the girl for 10 minutes, so how will I be able to stand a whole evening with her each month? –Sight- Why did I accept the offer in the first place? Because I have to kill and because I can't rely on anyone else not spreading that I am an assassin. And also because I want to know more about her since she comes from Bloody rain and was the daughter of their strongest elder.
Wait, Bloody rain? Didn't Bolin say that he was from Bloody rain? He also has a little kid to take care of, so maybe Jing is Bolin. That can explain why I hated her when I first met her, because she reminds me so much of Bolin.
A smirk appears on my face. I can't kill her in real life, but I can kill her in the game. I chuckle darkly at the thought, if I am lucky, maybe I will encounter her in the game. Or maybe I will meet Prince…
After the fight with Prince, I didn't kill him just because I wouldn't feel satisfied with just killing someone who can't defend himself. I wonder if he is any better than the last time we met… Hmm… Well, time to log in…
As usual, Garel has collected good loot and a lot of experience. I even gained one level thanks to it. I sell the loot I don't want at the usual store, but I have a lot of money so why not spend it on something.
I have my powered up gloves which increases stamina and defence now. I have also upgraded my sword which makes it steal 5% of the enemy's health with each strike so that I regain my health a little. And the gem upgrade makes my sword even easier to infuse with lightning, meaning that I don't have to use so much mana anymore. My boots also increases my speed, and since I am really fast in reality it makes me super fast, but it can be useful to be faster sometimes.
"Can I see the power up accessories, especially the growing types?" I say to the NPC in a flat tone. She only nod and show me a list of different accessories and what they power up as well as what they look like. There are a lot of necklaces, so I say to the NPC to remove them from the list. My eyes scan the long list of accessories for a while before I pick out some of them with an evil grin.
I now walk out from the store with my new accessories on. I have two blood red chains hanging on my long black jacket which increases my defence a little more. I have a moving skull ring on my left pinkie which increases my health and increases the procreant of stealing techniques, making my sword steal 10% of the enemy's health now. On my right pinkie is a blood red ring with black thorn scrub moving within the ring which increases my speed with 20 points. On my left middle finger is a silver ring with a blue ruby in the middle which increases my intelligence and mana with 20 points. On my right middle finger is a black ring that seems to have the colour of the northern lights hidden inside of it which increases my spirit, wisdom and charisma with 10 points each. It also increases my luck with one point.
All of my accessories are growing type, so it was quite expensive. But I had a fortunate, so it didn't matter to me. I have about 1000 gold coins left so it wasn't such a big deal, I can always get more.
I feel like fighting a lot of monster at once, so I go to one of the places I know that a lot of monsters are gathered together and all the monsters are hard to defeat. I walk for a bit, looking for a huge group of monsters. I finally find one, but I saw Odd Squad together with another team also is in this area so I better act now before they come and get those before me.
I make a huge jump and land in the middle of the group of monsters with my heavy sword infused with lightning. All the monsters attack me at once, but I spin my sword above my head mumbling 'scatter storm', immediately huge cracks of electricity comes out from my sword and burn all the monsters withi radius. Then I transform my sword into the twin swords and throw one of the swords towards a small group of monsters. The chain is warping itself around the group and I pull in the chain at my end. The monsters cries in pain before they explode in a cascade of blood, making me smile in happiness. (Kind of like the smiles creepy clowns do) There are a few monsters left, so I lift my hand and shoot a lightning ball at them, making it explode in a cascade of electricity when it reaches the monsters.
I transform my sword to the katana and shake off the blood with a single swipe and begin to laugh like the insane murderer I am. I can hear the system notice say something, so I stop my laughter to listen. "Sabre: level up, Sabre: level up, Sabre gaining new skill: flame slash, Sabre: level up, Shape shifting sword: Level up, Shape shifting sword gaining new transformation: scythe, Garel: level up, Garel: level up."
Hmm… Impressive… Garel has gone up two levels, me three and my sword has gained a new transformation. I didn't know that I could learn any spells that doesn't involve lightning, but it seems that I can.
I turn around to look for more monsters when I am met by 11 pair of amazed, surprised and fearing eyes. I give them an evil grin, put my heavy sword on by back and slowly walk over to them. I stop just a few feet away from the group of players.
"Hello Odd Squad. Congratulations about reaching the final showdown. And it seems like you have made an alliance with another team. Care to introduce them?" I say to the team with a calm, dangerous voice, glancing slightly at the other team. All of them are standing really close to each other, like they are trying to hide something… It must be Prince since he is missing, poor coward.
The mage seems to be the calmest one at the moment and replies. "Why do you have to know about them? It's none of your business who they are. You don't even know most of the names of our group either; you are only interested in Prince anyway." I grin evilly at her and stop time for a moment to read her a bit before I start time again to answer her in a hissing tone. "You are wrong about that, Yulian. I know far to well who you are…"
Her eyes widen in chock as I turn to the other team. "I'm Sabre or pure lightning as a lot of people call me. Odd Squad is the only people I know that doesn't get on my nerves, so I tend to tease them when I meet them. And it seems like I will meet you more since you have made an alliance with them."
I grin at them evilly, most of them lean back a little in fear but one of them stands still with determination in his eyes. It is a boy mage with blond hair and a kind of girly face. The boy steps closer to me and says in a clear voice. "We are Dark Phantom and I am Miwa. I have a question, how are you able to cast such powerful lightning spells in just a few seconds?"
I smirk at him, hold up my hand and create a ball of lightning in the said hand. "I don't know. It must be a part of my class. I am the only magic swordsman in second life and it seems like the game master that created me was so found of me that she made my class this special." I drain my lightning ball into my hand again and lower my hand.
"I will be going now; I know that you won't amuse me with a fight after what you have seen." I turn around and walk away. Slightly disappointed.
Then, I can feel a presence behind me and something swinging towards my head. I clench my fist so that my spikes come out and block whatever being swung at my head. Without even looking backwards, I kick my attacker away from me. Very far.
I can hear a crash as my attacker hits the wall and I turn around to see who it is. It is Prince. He coughing for all the dust around him but meets my bored gaze with determined red eyes. Then I grin at him and in a flash, I am in front of him. My grin grows bigger at his shocked expression.
I throw a punch at his head, but he rolls out of the way in the last second. At first, nothing is shown in the stone wall, but after a few seconds a huge crater is formed together with four big cracks going it the weather lines. A few boulders fall to the ground as I back away from the wall. I chuckle evilly as I watch Prince's horrified expression. "I told you I would kill you the next time we meet. I am not holding back this time, but I will still use no sword."
I chuckle even more as I infuse my gloves in lightning, making my hands even more deadly now. I flash in front of Prince again, but this time he blocks my punch. I smirk at his stupidity and grab his sword and infuse lightning into it. Prince screams in pain and let go of his sword and stumble back a little.
I spin the sword in my hand while I say. "Your sword skills haven't improved at all. But you will die an honourable death for a warrior. A death caused by his own sword." I grab the handle of Princes sword and just when I was about to kill Prince, a few arrows is being shot at me, forcing me backwards.
I look over to the others too be met by the furious eyes of the guy named Gui. "Don't you even dare hurt my Prince." He says, venom lining his words. I only give him a smirk and replies. "Your little Prince doesn't deserve to be called a warrior, that's why I will kill him. He has a great sword, but he doesn't use it right. With his skills, he can never use this sword correctly. This is just a tool to him, just a worthless piece of metal. If you use the right technique, you can do anything."
I then swing Prince's sword towards the stone wall behind me without breaking eye contact with the bard. I can hear a small crack behind me before it erupts into a loud boom. Thanks to my increased strength in the game, the stone wall behind me now has a large crack in the same angle as I swung the sword.
Without waiting any further, I appear in front of Prince and stab him in the stomach. A happy grin appears on my face as his own is filled with pain. I then lean forward to his ear and whisper. "Why do you think you can defeat me? Your swordsmanship is too poor to be able to match up with mine. But your determination surprises me. I will see you again soon."
Just when I was about to slice through him, he says something very surprising. "Then teach me…" I blink in surprise before I throw my head back in laughter. "You have to be crazy to think that I would accept just anyone as my student. If anyone, he or she would be more experienced in swordsmanship than you are. But, if you defeat a certain monster, I might make an exception." But after that, I slice through him and he turns into a pillar of light.
I begin to laugh again as I toss the sword on the ground and walk away. I can hear Gui cry over Prince and I look over my shoulder too see them. Gui is being restrained by his teammates and he is struggling to get lose to attack me. I only laugh more at the sight. As I later disappear into the shadows, only my insane laughter remains, echoing between the walls of the clearing.
I can hear Garel land beside me. "Should you really accept him as a student?" He asks me with his deep growling voice. I only snort in amusement. "It can be fun to see how it goes. Where were you anyway?" Garel just closes his eyes and grins, meaning 'nowhere you should know about' I let out a loud sight in content. I get to kill a lot of monsters and also kill Prince atop of that. Sure my fame has gone down a little, but who cares. I enjoyed myself.
I am now back in star city inside a café, drinking a cup of bitter tea and eating some dangos. I really don't feel to do anything for a change. I usually want to kill monsters or take on different missions or just train my fighting skills in a clearing.
And as usual, a group of girls are watching me as I eat. All of them have a deep blush on their faces and hearts in their eyes. All the time I even glance towards them, they get all giggling and nervous. It gets really annoying…
Garel is usually glaring at all the female players, but this time he is off to do something else. I wonder what he is doing… It isn't like him to disappear like that two times in a row, maybe he is doing something he doesn't want me to know about. Hmm… I doubt that… But it can be a possibility…
Ever since I got Garel, we've been almost inseparable. We have so much in common and yet, we are so different. We know what the other is thinking just by making eye contact, something I was not able to do with anyone else in my whole life. He also helps me a lot when 'that' happens.
I was half trough my third dango stick when I get 'that' feeling again. I growl in annoyance, why does it have to happen now when I am relaxing?
I quickly pay my bill and walk out from the café. After I turned a corner I began to run as fast as I can towards the forest. The feeling is getting bigger and bigger for each second that passes by; I have to hurry so that no one else will be able to see me. It's no use to use my powers in this situation; it will only make it worse than it already is.
I am getting closer to the cave I found in the forest some time ago. It is surrounded with huge rock walls so no one has been here except for me and Garel.
I run into the darkness and the only thing that shows that someone is in there is the faint screams in pain and a slowly growing blood pool showing in the opening of the cave.
Ooh~! A cliffhanger! My first i think. ^^
Heng Shi: Why the hell did you have to tell about that? That's private!
But, I have to tell the readers about you more, so it has to be personal. And while you where stuck in the black hole, I revealed more of your secrets.
Heng Shi: -Reads the later chapters his killer intent rising-
Hehehe… You are my character, so I decide what I will reveal and not reveal. And besides, I didn't tell them why you acted like this. ^^
Heng Shi: -Gives me a hateful glare- I really hate you, you know that?
-Pats Heng Shi on his shoulder- I know. Anyway, see you next time! And review~! ^^ Oh, by the way. I don't know what i should call this chapter, any suggestions? (sp?) :/
