Post by Eadon on Jan 28, 2014 8:16:57 GMT
It was surprisingly peaceful, in an empty clearing in the middle of the Great Windsor forest, surrounded by trees that seemed to have stood for centuries yet were as much a fantasy as anything else in this new world. The world of Elder Tale was beautiful, eerily so. Every little thing resembled the real world so much that the lines between fantasy and reality were far too easily blurred. Would they age in this world? Die here, one day?
These were questions Eadon couldn't hope to answer. If what was real was what you could see and hear, then this fantasy was as much reality as the old world had been. Except in this reality, everything was new and unexplored, just waiting for adventurers like him to go out and explore it.
Currently, Eadon was lying sprawled out in the middle of the clearing staring up with fascination at the brewing storm clouds overhead. He missed the storms from the real world, they reminded people that they could build all the powerful things they could think of, but in the end nature still ruled supreme. It was a fairly universal lesson, he thought, thinking of the forest around him and the monsters that no doubt were scattered through it.
Here, in Elder Tale, it wasn't people and humans who were the masters, but rather nature, and its monsters. Without monsters, the adventurers could not level. Without the monsters, this world would be incredibly dull.
Putting his hand out in front of him, a stick clasped in his fist, Eadon whispered a spell, watching as a glowing sigil appeared on the wood faintly, the stick suddenly seeming to feel stronger and less likely to break. It was fascinating, how these sigil spells worked.
So far he had discovered maybe half a dozen different sigils that he could readily call up, boosting various things like strength, dexterity, intelligence and the like. He couldn't wait to get higher in his sigilmaking level so that he could further experiment with that sigils did what, and maybe document them all to help other would be sigilmakers in their own work.
He had originally chosen the sigilmaking subclass because it had seemed like it would work well with his chosen main class of sorcerer, but the mysterious sigils were like an entire language of their own just waiting to be explored. He couldn't wait to figure them all out, and see just what he could use them for.
"I wonder where the creators are," Eadon mused out loud, his mind wandering as freely as the storm clouds above, "I wonder what they were thinking, when they designed this world and put us into it."
It would be interesting to find out just how much depth there was to the various sub classes that were implemented in the game. Sigilmaking had so much potential, just waiting to be tapped, and Eadon was sure that the other various subclasses were equally as full of opportunities as his own would hopefully prove to be.
Suddenly bored of just sitting there and staring at the heavens, the young sorcerer stretched, yawning loudly, and stumbled up onto his feet.
"I guess I should go and do some leveling," Eadon said, talking to himself again, "it's got to be more productive than lying around here."
Walking towards the edge of the clearing, he stopped. There, in the bushes, were eyes. At least three distinct pairs of them, and all watching him. Gulping, the redheaded teen slowly started backing up, putting his sword up in front of him in a defensive posture. Whatever was in the bushes, it definitely was not friendly.
Ironically, he remembered an old nursery from back in the real world. Something about going out to the woods... Eadon seriously regretted going alone, right about now.

Today was not like normal days in this world of Elder Tales where it was usually sunny amongst nature had turned into clouds of....well clouds of soon to be precipitation and water that would soon fall to the ground and soak this world in the feelings and emotions of the sky. Walking into the Grand and elaborate Great Windsor Forest slowly with his eyes to ground for a split moment, Rei li or as he he known by the small group of friends that he has as "Rei" would have arrived here for training and a little peace and quiet afterwards. After he had done a couple of hours of training in the Northern Marshlands of Thames, Rei had gained a newly acquired skill as well a plethora of level's making him level six.
It was kind of funny and ironic in a sense how time went here in his new home, what with learning how to use this body while getting used to the various skills and subclasses made this place more difficult that high school back in the real world. Walking forward through the beginning of the Forest where he is eyes went from left to right, and from the front of him to behind him. Being the cautious newbie player despite his newly acquired level, Rei had admittedly knew that death could and would come at any moment in this place although to his knowledge he hadn't heard of anyone dying. The silence of the forest would echo through the wolf haired boy's ears until the slight sounds of the bugs amongst things came into life and soon filled the current area with noise as if that wasn't normal...was it?
" Here the hero becomes immersed in the great adventure and unknown dangers and treasures that are in the immense forest of Thames, will our Hero find a worthy challenge or will he fall to the horrors that hide and make their residence in the forest," Jokingly enough Rei had decided to have a little monologue with himself just to past the time, otherwise he would be bored....alone but bored none the less. By now Rei would have passed through the first area as indicated on his map, took him at least two days to actually figure out how to read the damned thing, but after experimenting and asking around someone had explained it to him and here he was. The monsters here should have been of satisfactory level for him and if not it would be great for his test of his new skill. Being a monk in this world was amazing, the agility and HP of this class was amazing and tacked with the perks of the Wolf-Hair race gave him some pretty cool buffs...if his life was like this in the real world.
Area one would prove to be inhabited nothing..or maybe it was inhabited and whatever was here did not want to be seen, OR maybe he was over thinking it and he had nothing to worry about. Over thinking things was one of his flaws not only in the real world but here as well apparently even with this body that could take a lot of damage, he still worried about his well being and that didn't sit well with him. Rei soon took a right turn through some of the tress and shrubs while continuing to look at the map, it had seemed that a clearing had been coming up in a few meters or to be exact 10 meters north. Finding this as an interesting turn of events and also a good chance he could find something of use, Rei pushed forward picking up his speed until he had hit another tree.
After clearing the bushes he could come into the sight of someone else in the clearing, and just now his map would show him...or maybe he was reading it wrong AGAIN like usual. Rei was behind the person so he would try and whisper to him while being in a ready position," Psst...hey...hey you there. What are you doing just standing around for," although he was not aware that in the current facility their were enemies afoot. So depending on what the interaction between him and this mysterious person would lead to and what would happen in the future.

About an hour passed since Leonardo was sucked inside the game called Elder Tale and he spent it trying to figure out what happened and what he was supposed to do from now on. Quickly Leonardo's mind became filled with unanswered questions and he was forced to take a step back and watch at his situation in more objective way. It was clear by speaking with some other people in his same situation that none of his questions would be answered soon, so he decided to concentrate on what he could actually do in that moment. The first thing that popped out of his mind was about his bodily needs, in fact he soon came to realize that despite being inside a game his body could still get hungry or tired.
This realization Helped him greatly on setting his priorities for his first day in this new world: he needed to acquire food, water and a place to rest. Since he wasn't new to Mmorpgs, Leonardo knew that these things required money, and the only way to get money this early into a game was killing the low leveled mobs found just outside the starting city.
This plan still had its ricks though, at this point no one knew what would happen if a person died while fighting mobs and Leonardo wasn't even sure on how he was supposed to fight. He documented on the game's combat system when he joined but right now he was inside the game, God only knew how he managed to even summon his menu screen by complete accident. Anyway he didn't have a choice, maybe outside the city he could join someone that figured out how to fight and ask them to help him.
Throughout his journey out of "London", Leonardo couldn't help but notice how everything resembled the setting of a post apocalyptic reality, there were signs of modern buildings completely covered and hidden by the deep vegetation that spurred everywhere along with roads and other landmarks completely eaten away by nature.
Eventually Leonardo found a spot with some people, Leonardo was relieved to see that they killed some mobs without apparent difficulty, and so he strangely became really interested in the combat, this whole mess made him forget how he always wanted to try battling monsters himself in a fantasy setting, it was like a dream come to reality.
The young man looked around to find someone who seemed to know at least the basics of combat and wasn't already in a full party. After a bit of searching he found 2 guys standing behind some bushes, strangely they looked really much alike, how curious, to be fair though every good online game had many "dopplegangers" around. Without faltering he then waved at them and started speaking: "Hey, you two, I have a favor to ask, if you are fighting mobs around here would you mind if I join your party? I need someone to teach me at least how fighting works here".

“Ha ha! I know I can do this!”
Shouted a young man with ponytail as behind him there was a slime that suddenly exploded into bubbles and dropped some coins and items.
Liam was satisfied that he could manage how this thing would work; punching, jumping, kicking, dodging, he could do that in this new world, he could feel it without hesitating in this world. This was somewhat fun yet scary thing for Liam. Why it was fun? It was because in the real world, he couldn’t do this, plus with his appearance in the real world, people would only treat him like a little boy even though he was already 21 years old, but in this world, with this new appearance of him and his ability to punch and jump freely to there and there, Liam felt like a bird that just got free from its cage. Flying freely, nothing could stop him to go somewhere. He was... himself at last. There was nothing for him to roleplay to be someone that people wanted him to be.
And for the scary part, it was simply because he needed to survive in this world, fighting all those monsters to get stronger, no one yet knew what would happen if they died in this world, would they be gone forever? Or would they just respawn in the city?
All of them could feel the pain after all. When they were bleeding, it hurt them. When they fell down with their face first hit the ground, they would feel the pain on their face. It was all real, the feeling of the pain was all real, it wasn’t just a simply imagination that their brains made. The pain was just damn real, even when Liam landed a punch on the monster, he could feel it. So yea, summary, it wasn’t a just simple game anymore, it was more like their reality.
Taking a deep breath before Liam let it go again.
He turned his eyes upward, looking at the blue sky. “Do what you can do for now...” Liam said to himself and smiled a bit before turned his eyes back to the ground and searched for some monsters. Thanks to his Pathfinder’s skill—‘Battle Perception’—Liam could see some monsters were around clearly with their names and levels above their head. “Slimes.. Pigs.... Rabbits....” Liam muttered under his breath as he scanned the monsters. “I see, their levels were still low, that’s great, I think I can do this alone” As he determined to be a solo player for now, Liam then got to his battle stance.
As a monk, Liam didn’t use any weapon except his own hand, well, honestly that was pretty suck though. Liam couldn’t kill those monsters in one blow with his now equipments. But in the other side, it grants Liam an ability—well, not literally an ability—to move fast.
“Oh wait.. Maybe I can gather these monsters? And test how quick I can kill them all?” ...Aaaand here he went again with his stupid crazy idea. “But maybe.. That’s a bad idea though....” Of course it was bad! “Or.. Maybe not?”.. Wait, what? “Haha! Yes! Let’s try this, shall we!” .....Okay.... A-anyway! After he shouted like that, the young man then quickly ran forward, aiming for the first Young Pittered Boar , and boom! With his right elbow, Liam hit the Young Boar on the stomach before he rolled back and moved to the second Young Boar, and did the same movement to draw the Young Boar to chase after him, and then the third Young Boar, this time was different, when he got near to the third Young Boar, Liam jumped and kicked the Young Boar and quickly rolled behind again, aiming for the last Young Boar (the forth one) and boom! This time he punched it straight with his fist on its face before quickly move around again, didn’t want these Young Boars made his health point dropped!
“Yosha! I know I can do this!” He was proud of himself, but well... it wasn’t over yet. He needed to kill these monsters first before he got MORE proud of himself... sheesh. “Alright! There are four Young Boars! Now all I need to do is to kill them all, but of course I can’t just stand only and punch these Young Boars.” Liam started thinking of a strategy to finish this off without bringing his health point really down.
As his eyes were scanning Young Boars behind him, and his brain was thinking, suddenly when Liam turned his eyes back to the front, an unexpected thing happened.
“H-Holy----!!” Before he could finish his sentence, Liam quickly roll down to the side and continued running away. “W-w-what’s going on in heeereee??? O-o-o-oi!!!! Seriously!!? I didn’t plan thiiis!! Goddammit!” Liam shouted as now he was damn panic because of the unexpected event was happening. And this unexpected event was Pittered Boar suddenly appeared in front of him and was ready to attack him, that’s why Liam was rolling to the side, he intended to avoid that attack, because he knew that Boar had higher level than him, Plus with these four Young Boars, Liam was a deadman now.
“Uwaaaah!! No waaay!” Liam shouted in his head while he was running as fast as he could into the forest, passing the woods, and into the bushes, but the monsters were still chasing after him, so when jumped out from bushes, suddenly his eyes were widened and the only word that cross of his head was—“SAFE!!” Yes, after jumping out suddenly from the bushes, he accidentally saw three adventurers were there! So without wasting more time, Liam landed on the ground with a roll forward to the trio and shouted to them—
“Eeeey!! Heeelp!! There are four Young Boars and one stupid Boar chasing after mee!!!”
Liam shouted and tried telling them that he had been chased by four Young Boars and one Boars while his finger was pointing to the bushes in front of the trio and his legs were still moving slowly, trying to make a distance from bushes, because he knew what would come next.

we will break through with thunder, with fire A day like any other; or rather, a day that the young girl just happily bounced in the forest. She was humming a tune, and was wandering without any sort of protection. The first obvious thing about her, was the fact that she was immensely short, as only a child would be. Her happy radiating face, and her bouncing steps showed her to not understand the exact nature of problems she could encounter in this place. ''Pomf pomf way way way, way pomf way pomf pomf!'' she sang out happily. She had no care in the world right now, other then walking through this area, and singing happily because she could. The girl's tilting head from side to side was almost gentle, as she just closed her blue eyes with a smile, jumping over a tree root. Of course, the girl would then be in front of a clearing, unexpectedly. And as she looked up at the sky, she could frown just a little bit. She was displeased that the sun had began to go away, and instead it looked like it would rain! ''Poo! I dun want rain uu uu!'' she let out, making small angry stomps at the ground, as if that would change the naughty weather. Placing her hands on her hips, she looked to her side. ''Uu uu, Takumi, what do you think?'' she spoke, to thin air. But rather, to others it was thin air; Selvain saw a small boy her age, with fox ears and a tail. He had brown hair, and red eyes, and seemed thoughtful, as if thinking about her question. Then as if inspired, his tail began to swish. ''I think that you should go more in the clearing near by! I'm pretty sure people will be there, Sel!'' he exclaimed, looking entirely excited. The little girl nodded and smiled, before her steps began hopping again, the song falling from her lips once more. ''Pomf pomf way way way, way pomf way pomf way pomf pomf! Twist boom twist boom twist. Twist boom boom twist boom twist twist!'' she sang, uncaring of what the words meant. She wasn't old enough to understand them, as she bounced into the clearing, her red hair bouncing as she rocketed off her feet. ''Uu! uu! Watch out sillies!'' the young child called out, as she pointed her wand forward. With a pop, a ball of energy flew into the bush, a resounding smack sound echoing, as the girl bounced towards the.. three boys. ''Uu uu monsters in the bush monsters in the bush! Pop pop pop!'' she said cheerfully, as she moved her wand, casting the spell again, and sending another ball in the bush. She laughed delightedly, even as Takumi, her friend, face palmed. ''You're going to get hurt Sel, just be careful!'' he admonished her. The girl just grinned at the air where he was, and shook her head. ''Fine uu! Enchanter uu! Have sigils too uu! No problem, we'll win Takumi, uu!'' she said, as if to encourage him. She was bouncing excitedly, the storm gone from her mind. She wanted to send more pew pews out! But of course, she wanted to because the funny running man made her giggle and well the thingies would make her laugh more, right?

Post by Eadon on Jan 28, 2014 13:41:23 GMT
Backing up as he was, with unidentified glowy eyes coming at him from the bushes, Eadon almost jumped out of his skin when he heard a low whisper in his ear from behind. sword swinging in that direction almost instinctively, it was a combination of sheer sheer luck and power of will that he was able to divert the swing to pass just over the head of the stranger standing there, rather than through his neck. Eadon blinked. The stranger was eerily similar in appearance to himself, standing at roughly the same height and with very similar colouring and hair colour.
If he had a twin, Eadon would not be surprised if they looked like this guy. Were they related somehow? It was possible. The United Kingdom was a fairly tiny place after all, and you tended to be related to a whole bunch of people, even if only distantly.
Shaking off the sense of weirdness, Eadon instead opted to go for suitably outraged. "I'm just out here leveling. What are you doing sneaking up behind people in the middle of a forest anyway," Eadon shot back, managing to keep from shouting at the guy if barely, "I could have taken your head off, you idiot!"
Inside, Eadon was seething. His jumpiness had almost made him into just another player killer, something that he absolutely never wanted to be. While his words were a bit harsh, inside he was more scared for the other guy, and very glad that his swing had missed.
Alas, Eadon didn't have time to scold him further for his rather abrupt appearance, and almost giving Eadon the fright of his life by just miraculously showing up behind him like he had. Another crash from the bushes, this time off to the other side, and yet another adventurer rocked up in the clearing.
This guy had obviously not seen, or apparently heard, the rapid approach of whatever was coming from behind the three as he instead chose to ask whether they were looking for a party. This guy was taller, looking to be maybe a few years older than Eadon himself and with flowing brown hair reaching down to his neck. He looked distinctly wild, and almost dangerous. In any other circumstances Eadon would have been wary of him but right now he was happy with any help he could get. He really needed to stop judging people just based on how they looked. Especially seeing as this particular stranger had a pair of swords strapped to his side, and hopefully would at least stand a chance in using them. Any help was better than no help after all.
Eyes darting back and forth between the two, Eadon had to resist the urge to laugh out loud. I guess you get what you wish for, after all, he thought, reminded that he had been wishing for company not a moment ago.
"Umm, yes, we can make a party. I don't know about that guy though. But talk later, battle first" Eadon shot out, before the original bushes crashed open with a rustle and a third adventurer came tumbling into the clearing, a boar hot on his heels and screaming about a mob of boars and needing saving.
The guy really did look like he needed some saving, as well. He was wearing nothing but cloth armour and appeared to be completely unarmed. Alone. In the forest. Definitely a smart guy, this one. He looked sort of similar to the scary wild guy, but instead of rugged features his were almost delicate. Kind of feminine, in a way.
Ah well, Eadon could definitely do saving. Even if this particular damsel-in-distress was of a non-traditional gender for damsels. Pulling his sword up, Eadon quickly adopted his en garde position, watching the approaching boar carefully. The timing needed to be just right... There!
"Inferno Strike!" Eadon shouted, letting his skill channel itself down into his sword and turning it suddenly red, with tiny little embers sparking off of the edges.
Swinging the sword down, Eadon let the blade whistle towards the boar with an almost uncanny kind of grace considering the accursed weight and clumsiness inherent in the old beat up long sword. He really needed to replace it, and the sooner the better. Regardless, the blow was quite effective, cleaving into the lead boar and setting it alight with a fast spreading fire condition.
He needed to get out of the way now, though or he was going to seriously regret getting in the way of an angry boar.
Just as the sword was starting to swing away, yet another adventurer, this one a tiny girl, came bundling into the clearing and shouting to look out, sending a few spells darting towards the bushes and the rapidly charging mob of boars.
Another one? Eadon thought, eyes glancing towards the latest addition. She really did seem to be a child, not even a teenager, and yet here she was wandering the forests alone as well. I guess losing the fear of death really does make us all a lot braver, Eadon thought, grinning in amusement.
Eadon nodded almost reflexively at her warning, shouting out a quick "On it," before leaping instinctively to the side and hopefully away from the no doubt angry friends of the boar he had just lit on fire.

It was magical in the sense that Rei had met yet another human classed player it was almost ironic how he could tell after seeing so many walk around the market, but even more so ironic that this one was swinging a sword at his head!! The boy barely missed him either by dumb luck or he just couldn't swing a sword right, none the less the young wolf-haired boy almost lost his freaking head trying to be friendly. If not for a single moment, Rei fell to his ass and rubbed his head like he had missed it," Holy freaking crap man can you be any deadlier with that pointy thing?!?!? You almost took my head off when i was just trying to be nice and see what you were doing, the last time i try and be the nice guy around you people," the last part was mumbled slightly, but as for the rest of it oh yeah you could expect that to be heard. Rei was not exactly happy with Mr. I Wanna Swing A Sword At You, but looking at him had caused him to blink for moment before registering that he had actually said something to him.
Tilting his head at the new person in front him and hearing his response, Rei would respond with a chuckle before speaking," Well i came out here for adventure and training, unaware that i would run into someone swinging swords at people's heads! I was just trying to be nice and ask what you were doing, and i get the sharp end of the sword and words...I am slightly joking with you, but let's not point swords at each other eh?," Rei would have already be standing up and looking at Eadon some more, not specifically mad that he took a swing at him because even he knew he was in the wrong with that particular action, but it got the two of them to talk to each other rather quickly.
There wouldn't be a single drop of silence as another adventurer soon came into the fray and landed right beside Rei, this one as he could plainly tell was a Wolf Hair just like him, but his class remained a tad bit unknown. The two swords sitting on his person would indicate something that perhaps dual-wielding or perhaps he had simply switched between the two for more versatility which could have proved a little interesting. At any rate this new wolf hair would come to the two of them and were they in a party... not to uncommon amongst the many people of this world, but without a hello or anything like that now that was rude. Eadon basically spoke for the two of the whether or not he knew that was up to him as Rei simply nodded his head not only for Eadon's comment but that of the new person as well.
It wasn't even a moment of silence that Rei could break as he held up his finger to speak and a voice came from the thickets and brushes.. another person had entered the fray of adventures!! This one however was...okay Rei knew that looks could be deceiving and even contradicting, but this new person was making him not only confused but his head was beginning to hurt. Now his mind clicked into super monk mode when this new person had requested help and it seemed as if Eadon had the same idea as him as the man had cast a... FIRE SPELL. So he was a magic user that used swords....now that was a new one for him and his single uncovered light brown eye stared at the fire for a moment before yet ANOTHER person came into the picture shooting magic around.
It was a little girl and as Rei used to watch a little too much anime he had instantly thought of a magical garment girl or something, but when everyone had decided to fight the oncoming menace that were the boars. Rei jumped into the front of the group and smiled as he tied the red bandages he always wore when fighting and gave a thumbs up to them," Let me distract them and take their aggro while you all do the damage, it will be easier to deal with them if we try it this way okay?," his hands began to glow blue before his body became more durable due to the Sigil of Aquarias, his trusty and useful Sigilmaker class.
The group of boars had been making their way at the group probably pissed that their friend was on fire on top of whatever that person did to them, which gave him a lot of pissed off boars. Of course he had to think of the well-being of the group as a whole so with this in mind he smiled and took on a provocative pose, waving his hands at the boars," Come on you fat sorry excuse of an animal COME AT ME," using his new skill Rafting Taunt, he would provoke the boars into attacking him and him only while the others would work on them. Rei moved forward at the boars as one came in front, with a confident smile on his face he would jump into the air and strike the ground with his foot," Haaah Aura Kick," as a light blue shock wave grew from the spot that Rei kicked, not only pushing back and damaging the boars a little, but furthering their aggro against him. His plan was now in order as he kept the little piggies occupied until the others attacked.

Fortunately those guys were willing to let him join them, Leonardo then tried to make some proper introduction, he realized he must have been a bit rude asking to join them without even telling who he was. Just when he was going to open mouth something stopped him, it was another adventurer that literally stormed on them while shouting and being followed by a horde of wild boars.
Just great, Leonardo wanted to actually know how to fight before he even got into a battle but it seemed that this new guy here ruined his plan. Well, not exactly, Leonardo heard a noise coming from the bushes near him and saw to his surprise some red ferocious eyes staring at them, it appeared that he was going in a battle even if that other guy didn't show up at all.
"Tch...I'll have to learn how to fight myself it seems"
Leonardo said at no one in particular, it was just a way to let out his annoyance. Suddenly his heart began pounding hard, this was his first fight and he didn't even know the basics, what if he died out here? would he just respawn somewhere like every rpg or would he just die for real? This situation was too risky but the others looked confident in their skills.
Leonardo quickly reached for his swords attached on his waist and he unsheathed them after a bit of clumsiness, then he carefully looked the other guys fighting to get some hints on what he was supposed to do.
Judging strictly on what he saw Leonardo came to realize that those guys were attacking like they would do in real life, they were the ones who directed the attacks. That meant only one thing, Leonardo had to swing his swords himself if he wanted to survive.
Unexpectedly, another adventurer joined them after that strange yelling man who brought a whole family of boars on them, this time it was someone who looked just like a little girl and....actually acted like a little girl. She jumped around with no fear whatsoever and started to deploy some magic while happily jumping around and singing. Leonardo stared at her in disbelief, this whole mess was just getting more and more absurd by the second.
Leonardo was still distracted when he heard a high-pitched squeal coming from the opposite direction, one of the little boars somehow thought of Leonardo as the perfect target and began charging at him.
"Whoah"
He shouted just as he jumped out of the little boar's trajectory , he then rolled over and stood up again.
"I have no choice, I can't run forever"
he thought, it was clear that the only way to come out here alive was to begin fighting. Leonardo concentrated and locked his expression into a deadly stare on the boar, he would surely not let that little thing get the best of him.
Leonardo gathered his strength and ran straight for the boar, the mob was still trying to slow down from that charge and soon enough Leonardo caught up to it. The aspiring warrior swung his right sword awkwardly, followed then by another awkward slash on the boar's snout with his left sword. Those attacks connected, incredibly, the boar squealed in pain and got some meters away from him to prevent further damage while Leonardo smiled wildly for his first successful attack.
"Well, It seems it isn't that hard like I imagined it to be"
He said, then he suddenly felt like something was off. It felt like he something on his body suddenly changed, especially on his head and waist, he turned around and what he saw froze his heart for a second: He had grown a long tail like that of a wolf.
He raised his sight and with the tail of his eye he could also see that his ears were changed, now they too looked like that of a dog and scarily enough he seemed to be able to move them freely with his thought.
Leonardo was beginning to freak out when he remembered one particular detail, when he first made his character he had chosen the Wolf Hair race for him. This was actually a pretty important info, Leonardo now realized that this wasn't his body, but that of his character, he just didn't notice it earlier because he made his character to be perfectly identical to his real life self.
Leonardo stared for another lengthy second at his newly gained tail with a blank expression,
"Oh God..."
He said horrified by his capacity of moving it with his will
"I'm a friggin' furry..."

From Liam’s vision, now he could see three players were standing in front of him and not far from there, with his ‘Battle Perception’ skill, he could see four Young Boars and one Boar were charging forward.
“Hoo booy.” Liam muttered under his breath when he noticed that the Boars were getting close and close. But then again, when he noticed that there were four of them over there, it seemed it would be possible to beat those boars down if they teamed up. Yes, it would work if they teamed up, so when Liam wanted to tell them that the boars were going to jump out, suddenly the boy with sword and book on his hands shouted out loud, turning his sword into a glowing red sword.
Of course seeing that, Liam was surprsied, he even didn’t see that guy opening his skill menu.. no actually, that movement was too fast for a person who needed to open his skill menu first.
“So.. he didn’t use the skill menu...?”
Liam thought to himself, but quickly ruined by a new figure that had made her appearance. “E-eh?” This time, it wasn’t young man, but well.... A little girl. Yes, a little girl sudden showed up and jumped happily to where the group was as she didn’t know that she could die if she let her guard down and let the monsters eat her up.. Well, it seemed she didn’t know? Or perharps, she was just too innocent to know those stuffs and think if this was just like another happy game?
Noticing that, Liam chuckled a bit while the others had started fighting.
It wasn’t a good thing to do though, but yea.. Somehow, Liam found it funny, this little girl.. Until now, Liam didn’t think that a person like this little girl could exist in this kind of world. There must be a reason for her existence, right? Plus, knowing that there was still someone like this girl existed in this world.. It was funny, yet in the other side, it made Liam realized that this world wasn’t just full of person who loved to play games a.k.a gamers, or someone who just wanted to act as someone else.
Shooking his head before his smile turned out into a smirk, Liam then focusing his eyes back to the players and monsters in front of him. What he intended to do at the moment was to observe the players, he needed to know how to fight properly first before he could let go of this ‘damsel-in-distress’ role.
" Let me distract them and take their aggro while you all do the damage, it will be easier to deal with them if we try it this way okay?,"
Suddenly a thick haired guy jumped forward and told them that he would take the Boars’ agro while the other attacked them. At first, Liam didn’t really understand that instruction, but then as the thick haired guy’s hands started glowing blue, Liam once again was surprised because of it. Another skills had been launched without opening the skill menu and click it manually, it was more like automatically. That was new for Liam, and he needed to know how to do that, maybe after this battle Liam could ask them about this? Hm. That sounded a good idea for him, and maybe these players had more knowledge than Liam had at the moment? Yea, Liam was sure.
For now. It was show time. It was battle time, Liam could ask them later after this Boars all gone.
Liam then slowly lowered his body down a bit, preparing himself before dashing forward to the nearest young boar and punched it straight on its chest with his right fist when it wanted to go after the thick haired boy, but Liam wasn’t finish with his movement, spinning around, Liam then threw his left kick to the young boar’s face before he jumped to the front of that young boar with his skill menu opened and---
Click!
“Bullet Punch!”
Liam shouted, and without he controlled it, his fists started raising and glowing bright before they rushed forward rapidly with a high speed. Liam could feel when every each fists that landed on the young boar’s face, and also he could feel that the speed was faster than ordinary punch.
But, there’s only one problem.
The speed of when he wanted to use the skill, and the vision of it. It was somehow quite troublesome for Liam. If he was surrounded by so many monsters, using this method he would be a deadman for sure, and that was really really bad. Man, Liam really did need to know how to use the skill in a quick way than he used to use.
As two second had passed and Liam could take control of his fists again, Liam quickly jumped backward as in the corner of his eyes he could see the taller man changed. “Fyuu~h, cool ears and tail are cool, sir” Liam whistled before grin a bit to the man.
Oi oi, Liam… focus on the fight……

we will break through with thunder, with fire Everyone had seen the little girl, as she hummed. And then suddenly, her head tilted to the side, and she began to cackle. ''Kihihihi silly boars! You face the great Enchanter Selavain and her companions!'' she declared, puffing out her chest as the boars were coming towards her. Her hand moved as the small child was n ow in the thick of the group, and she had touched everyone at least once. With a burst, fire spilled forward, spitting and making a greater damage then it should. ''To the one born beneath a volcano, studying the crafts of ancient fire magicks, I bestow the gift of mind!'' she called out loudly, as she had used her Sigilmaker class to bestow a mark of intelligence upon the mage. After all, it was easy to tell from their floating thingie when she opened the menu to shoot off her magical balls! That or Takumi was whispering to her like a cheat sheet, having seen them himself. She clapped as the fireball ate up a boar in the face, actually the same one she had pew'd! Of course, the little girl was gone before the boar would charge her, now her hand on the wolf-hair with the arms. Well they all had arms, but the one that was a monk of course! The girl cleared her throat, and waved her hand one more. ''To you, adept of the mountains, searching into the past to understand the symbols of the lost, and searching forever for the highest enlightenment, I gave to you the power of the very mountain itself!'' she proclaimed, as her Seal of Aquarius shone on him. Not only did he have his own, but hers too, giving him a high boost in his Durability due to their teamwork. Although at this point, Selavain's mana bar was cleaved in half, due to the spell she used, and the four seals she applied; very costly yes, but it was worth it, since she hadn't leveled yet. The other wolf hair, a pretty cute guy, was charging in as well. But the girl noticed that he grew ears and a tail, and you could just tell her eyes were filled with childish curiosity and delight. ''And to he of the forest, clearing paths like a lone wolf, searching high and low to test his fangs, I give the gift of the swift wind! So that you may move and dash into your opponents to tear them with your justice!'' she declared once more, having fun associating these random backgrounds to the people she just meet with a reason why she gave what Sigil. It was really fun, and she wiggled a bit, wanting to play with the puppy.. but she wasn't done, and neither were the boars! Her hands lifted up, as if calling to the heavens. She had another monk to bless with a story! ''And to you, adept of the lands, moving through each place and culture, but never settling, playing the fool only to show your cards when none remained! I gift to you the power of bulls, the call of the lands of roses and strength! Pillage your enemies with your superior might and bring them to your knees!'' she called out, the sigil glowing as the buff appeared on the brown haired human. Indeed, she was having entirely too much fun putting these together, making a count. Two wolf-hairs: one monk, given dexterity, one swashbuckler, given agility. And two humans: one sorcerer, granted intelligence and one monk, given strength. She saved none of the buffs for herself, but a happy smile rose to her lips, as she pointed her staff. ''Fear the power of us all boars! Selavain shall grant you a swift defeat! Come, remember the power within you! Pulse Bullet Barrage!'' she exclaimed, waving her staff. Bullets of magic flew out of the staff, raining down on the boars, accidentally turning their attention to the small enchantress if her teammates didn't pay attention.. and stop the boars that she was attacking from going after her! After all, one or two might be down, but there was still moar! ''Yes! Fear the power of my magical self! Kihihihihi!'' she exclaimed, clearly enjoying herself.. and spamming the low cooldown of her only skill, and running her mana bar into the ground faster then one should. But it's okay, because well... There were four grown ups ready to protect her, right!?!

Post by Eadon on Feb 3, 2014 22:44:59 GMT
Coming out of his leap with an efficient and well executed roll, before springing back up onto his feet nimbly, Eadon had his sword back into a ready stance and set to start swinging again almost immediately. He was amazed though, to find that none of the boars had come after him. Flicking his gaze towards his strange doppelganger, he quickly managed to work out why. The other ginger had quickly leapt into the fray as well – using several skills which seemed to have attracted the aggro of the boars towards him.
This was further backed up by Eadon vaguely recalling hearing the guy yell to let him distract them, while he had been in the middle of his earlier dodge. Nodding to himself, he figured this would prove a much more useful strategy than having the boars come after him. He was a squishy sorcerer, after all, fancy chain armour and sword or otherwise.
Distracted from his thoughts, he noticed as the scary looking guy from earlier also leapt into the fray. This one managed to dodge a charging boar, before slashing into it a few times with his swords. He seemed to be a bit awkward about it, but at leas the attacks had landed. That said, Eadon himself could hardly be more experienced than this guy was. Though, he was likely more skilled at sword usage – having taken rather extensive fencing classes back in the real world. The dual wielding sword guys stance was all wrong.
Blinking at the guys outcry of horror, Eadon was more puzzled than anything. A furry? What was this, and why had it made the guy so upset? He would figure it out later, presumably...
Rather than stand there uselessly while waiting for a chance to attack again, Eadon pulled open his menu and shot a rapid fire party invitation to each of the other adventurers. Being able to track their status would be very useful, right now.
[His attention spinning back to the fight, Eadon watched as the original victim of the boars, said damsel in distress, launched a withering attack of punches against the face of one of the boars. He flinched a bit. That looked like it would hurt, though the adventurer didn't seem to have quite mastered the art of controlling his skills yet.
The damsel-in-distress who was actually a boy then yelled out something about cool ears and tail. Shaking his head again, Eadon assumed it must be related to the weird furry comment from before. Looking back to the fuzzy headed guy, Eadon realised that he had, in fact, grown a tail and some ears. Maybe that was what this whole furry thing meant? Possibly.
A light magical touch on, and a bunch of seemingly nonsensical chanting later, and Eadon realised that the tiny girl had cast a Seal of Aquarius on him. His mind suddenly felt lighter, the logical path of action more obvious. It of course made sense that she would gift him with intelligence, after all. He was a mage, if a strange sword wielding one after all.
She proceeded to cast a seal on everyone else in the group as well, before drawing the aggro of all of the boars with a series of magical energy shots. She must be burning through mana at a ridiculously fast rate, like that.
Grinning bemusedly Eadon yelled out “Seal of Aquarius,” directing the magic towards her and gifting her with some heightened intelligence as well, realising that she would be needing it.
Two could play at that game, after all.
Pulling his sword back up, and scanning with his eyes for the burning boar, Eadon quickly spotted it. He was just in time to see the fire finish eating through its health bar. It's hitpoints gone, the overgrown pig let out one last squeal before exploding into a pile of coins. Switching his attention towards the next closest of the boars, the one headed towards the tiny girl, Eadon narrowed his eyes before stepping forward once more. Dancing carefully around it, he swung his sword down in an arc against the back of its neck, the last of the embers from his skill igniting its fur and cauterising the bloody gash in the side of the beasts neck.
It got away before he could finish it, though – continuing on its blind charge towards the girl.
There was one down, and four to go. Hopefully his companions would be able to deal with the remaining ones.

So far everything had been going well as everyone did their part equally, the seals of both his own Sigil of Aquarias and that of the little singing girl had ampilifed his body ten fold and as one of the boars tackled him and tried to force him back. Well Rei decided to burry his feet into the ground as he picked up the beast with a growl, but unknown to him his body had been transforming. Wolf ears, a wolf tail and his right eye had all became wolf in nature as he tossed the boar up and gave it a high jump kick to the face sending it into a nearby tree. After landing he would turn to the rest of the members who were holding their own and he was surprised to see another Wolf hair there with him, although now wasn't the time to be dawdling, the little girl who had blessed him with another seal of aquarias was being attacked and he wasn't going to have that. Using the last of the mobility that his seal gave him, he would run towards the boar running towards her and jump kick it as his foot burrowed into its side. His tail began to wag once or twice as he stomped the boar into the ground and began to repeatedly punch it until its hp was zero and all it became was a mix of coins and potions. Seeing as two of them were down and he himself had only taken a small amount of damage he would run over to the little girl and smile," Heres a thank you for that seal you gave me, just make sure you stay behind me so they don't get you," he would then imbue her with his own sigil of Aquarias so she could continue fighting, of course he would help out those who were helping him out. Seeing as the rest of the boars were either half dead or getting there, he would perform one more Aura Kick as he launched himself into the air and struck the ground, causing not only damage to the boars but also causing them to aggro on him. He would hope his teammates would use this time to finish off the remaining ones, so they could at least talk in peace.

After a few seconds, the guy who brought all these boars here complimented Leo on his new wolf features.
Leo stared at the man in annoyance with his eyes half closed, he didn't even respond back and continued his fight against that pittered boar.
Their battle tactics were really easy to predict, they just ran in a straight line while trying to hit everything in their path. They were somewhat fast but too predictable, just your average low leveled mob.
Meanwhile, the little girl continued to hop around like a bunny, giving her magic to her companions, strangely followed by a would be epic speech on the adventurer who was targeted by her spells.
A feint light enveloped Leo's body, the young swashbuckler than sighed as it was his turn to get his own epic background by the little girl.
He had discovered to be part wolf in less than 10 seconds and he was already incredibly annoyed by it.
Leo sighed another time before going on a rampage against his own enemy, at least he could transfer his annoyance into fighting spirit, that boar unfortunately had to be his victim because of this.
Leo sprinted forwards while his blades arched harmoniously behind him, the boar did the same thing and charged at him. Just as the two combatants where about to clash, with a quick maneuver Leo arched his body sideways and rolled away. The boar desperately tried to stop the charge, giving Leo plenty of time to prepare his next attack.
He had seen the other fighters pull off some fancy moves themselves, those were active skills that could be used freely in battle, Leo had one too called Mirage Dealer if he recalled right.
Leo summoned his menu and quickly traversed through it, eventually he found the battle menu and noted under the skill list his only one named mirage dealer.
Leo pressed his finger on that skill and suddenly he was propelled forward,
"Woah"
He uttered as he unwillingly dashed in front of him in the direction of that pittered boar. Leo watched as his body moved on his own, striking the boar with an x-shaped attack and then....he suddenly got teleported a few meters over the target looking on the opposite way where he came.
The mob emitted a feint light and vanished leaving behind items and money. Leo felt a bit sick, the feeling of having your vision changed so abruptly played strange tricks to his mind, he felt the world spinning around him and spit was already forming in his mouth as a symptom of a throw up. Somehow he managed to contain that feeling though, it would have been rather not cool for him to throw up right now.
Leo spitted on the ground and then looked at the others,
"One down here..."
Somehow he managed to kill his own mob, fighting here was a lot more complicated than clicking a few buttons on a keyboard, Leo needed time and training if he wanted to survive in this new world.
