Orlando charged in with Roku to help someone who was apparently in over their head in the Gleamfang dungeon itself. ~What a moron, thinking that you can take on a dungeon yourself with out the help of a party. Nevertheless, we need to help him so he doesn't die on his first day of the game.~ Orlando unsheathed his katana and continued to run in with Roku


Roku had taken a hit from an arrow by the looks of it, despite that however, she managed to kill two elite wolves out of the apparent 6 that were in the chamber before what looked to be the boss door. When Roku collapsed from what looked to be mana exhaustion, Orlando, with a swift hand, took out one of his health potions and tossed it to Roku. "Drink that, I'll provide support!" This was no time to be flashy as he had to be quick and deadly despite facing off against 4 elite wolves. As the first wolf came after him Orlando sidestepped it and buried the katana into it's back taking a significant chunk of health out of its' HP bar promptly pulling it out swifty afterwords. The wolf decided to make a U-turn to try to avenge its health loss but Orlando saw this coming and ducked down and with his full strength, rammed the sword edge through the bottom of its' head through the top at it's weak point ending its' life. Despite killing half of the wolves due to the combined efforts of both Roku and Orlando as well as the other mysterious individual who needed their help, they still had 3 wolves to kill to attempt to save him. "Roku! See if you can provide support for me! I'm going to attempt to eliminate them to the best of my ability," Orlando shouted as he charged towards another elite wolf.

(Apologies for the pitiable reply @Edward Valentine )


Within the silence after the male spoke, Ashlynn came to slowly lower her arm. Her eyes followed his movements until his back had turned, and then her gaze set upon the stand as it closed. If it were not for her stomach growling once more she may very well have stood there for a prolonged period. Taking pace behind the male she continued with her silence. Perhaps from an outsiders view she would look like some typical vagabond, following their source of nourishment based upon one sided kindness. Her hair was unclean, left untamed with far little care. However, in manner alone she showed elegance, eyes cast forward with head held firm with little shame. Arms were crossed within the tattered cloth, a common stance she would take when caught by a thought.


It was not as if this silence was kept with the intention of withholding information, it was merely that she held no answers to such questions. More so, he brought a peculiar acronym to the table that she could only figure he meant as the natural denizens of the world. It was when he stopped to hold the door that she finally displayed thought on his questions, passing all others aside. "The Denizens would replicate that blade a thousand times, but never make one of lesser, or greater value." She spoke softly, her voice carrying that this was her own speculation based upon the information she held. Without further word from either party she followed him across the room. Upon sitting within the booth, across from the individual, her eyes drifted towards the window.


"Greenleaf Tea," Ashlynn spoke, feeling the eyes that were cast upon her by both the boy and the worker. She knew little of the beverages this place had to offer, her source of nourishment was the well closest to the Library. However, at least there were a few mentions of commodities within the books she had read. Silence once more took her form, that is of course until the Denizen's presence had faded away. "Do you wish to seek the truth of this world, beyond this unquestioned answer of Deity? "

"And I'll take a coffee and two waters. Thank you." Valentine said to the employee before she walked off and went to prepare the order. He watched her walk away as the words of girl echoed in his mind. He blinked for a moment before looking back up at the girl. He repeats her own words back to her which flows into him thinking out loud.


"The Denizens would replicate that blade a thousand times, but never make one of lesser, or greater value. So that means that hold no standard but that of the one given. Do they hold consciousness? They have to if they procreate. If they live on in this world and pass on the minimum amount of knowledge that hold to themselves in libraries. They have libraries but ones that they didn't build. So they are more of minions ready to strive to a masters call. No that doesn't sound right. Do they just lose ability without the adventurers around. That has to be it. They rely on the abilities of the immortal adventurer to much. So instead of giving them recipes, we give them techniques and say build your world the way you want to. Thats it."


Valentine ignores your questions as the girl did his. He glances over to the woman and shakes his head, but also nods afterwards. He opens his mouth to speak from the corner of his eye, Valentine sees the waitress. She places down the green tea and coffee and the soups. She says the sammichs will be out in a while. Atticus says no rush and smiles at the girl for reassurance before turning back to the meal in front of him. It seems the soup consists of a beef, potatoes, carrots and green beans in rich, thick broth. Valentine takes his spoon and scopes some soup into it before bringing it to his lips. He blows on it twice before taking it into his mouth and cherishing the flavors dancing over his taste buds. He forgets what he was gonna say to the girl.

Meanwhile at the very end of the dungeon stood a defiant, if not extremely battered Alexander. How he'd survived this long, he would never know, but he had the strength to continue. Or at least he hoped he did. He wasn't actually sure how much damage he had dealt to GleamFang, and he'd been doing his best to ignore all health bars around him lest he discourage himself. After all, if he was going to fall in battle, he didn't need to see how long he had left, only that he should make every second count. He could have sworn he heard people fighting behind him, though it might be his imagination. The constant growling and barking from all the wolves around him really doesn't help. Looking at his trusty scythe he sighed and put it away, then clipped on his claws once again. His end was near, so he might as well end the fight the way he loved it, seeing his own reflection in the eyes of his enemies as he bathed in their blood. With a deep breath he roared out "THIS IS THE END! MY DEATH FOR YOURS YOU DAMN MUTT!" and charged at GleamFang once again. He knew the battle was going to be nearing it's end, but he could care less, he was having the time of his life, and even though his death was most likely imminent, he would make sure that he died in a blaze of perpetual glory.

Roku drank down the potion then stood wobbly as it started to take effect. She pulled out her Enchanted bow and fired the two remaining magic arrows she had prepared prior to entering the dungeon and managed to kill another and severely weaken the other two. "Go on ahead and help I can handle these two!" She said confidently as she fired some basic enhanced fire arrows towards the wolves and getting their focus on herself.

[KhalZhavvorsa]

Kala entered the dungeon further to find people fighting what looked like a decent sized group of wolves. Thinking nothing of it, she grabbed her sword with two hands and ran forward, sword extended. In no time her sword met with one of the wolves, taking the preemptive strike from the size of it. Kala didn't do too much damage, but enough to to hopefully attract attention away from the two other people who defiantly looked like they might need help. "Sorry to interrupt." She said through the mask, it sounding exactly like a female's voice would when speaking through a mask. Muffled and deep-ish.


((Hehe sorry to crash the party x3 @Lana Valentine @Clockwork Syringe ))

 

[Clockwork Syringe]

"Understood! I'll leave you with a parting gift for now however!" Orlando started though one person had entered the fray as well right as she killed the one wolf he was going to attack. "I don't know your name but follow me! Theres someone taking on Gleamfang by himself and he's gonna die if we don't help him. It seemed as though Roku could handle herself so he though nothing more before he entered the boss room of GleamFang hopefully with the new arrival trailing behind him.


Upon entering the boss room he could see a lone figure engaged in combat with the titular boss of the cave. Although he had knocked out one of the boss' 4 health bars by himself, it seemed as though he wasn't doing so well overall. ~I better get in there before something happens to that man~ Orlando then began to quickly scan Gleamfang for any obvious weaknesses. One of the things that Orlando immediately noticed was that Gleamfang was favoring its' right side for attacking. That must mean that Gleamfang is weaker on the left than he is on the right. There was only one way to test his theory as Orlando charged in to the combat and yelled "HEADS UP!" and slashed at Gleamfang's front left leg rewarding Orlando's theory with a loud yelp and a howl causing Gleamfang to back up slightly and have his left side buckle a bit causing it to loose balance. "Get him! It looks like now's your chance to deal massive damage as he's stunned!"


@Lana Valentine @xEmoBunnehx @Exanis

 

[Exanis]

It looks like someone else had joined the fray. And he had managed to get a good hit in. Good enough for him to get some vengeance anyway. With a howl eerily reminiscent of the very wolves they were facing, Alexander threw himself back at GleamFang, tearing at the boss savagely and furiously. Figuring that he had done enough damage, and now that there was someone else here he couldn't exactly fight to his own death without leaving them to deal with GleamFang all by their lonesome, he backed off a bit and growled at the beast. He then glanced at Orlando and gave him a predatory smile. "Why, thank you for the assistance. Not that I would care about dying to this, but hey, the longer I can fight, the more fun I get to have!" He barks out a laugh and looks back at the boss. "I hope those wolves back there didn't give you much trouble. I gave 'em a good lickin' with my trusty ol' scythe, but this fella here is my real target. Speakin' of GleamFang, if you can keep gettin' me some openings." His smile widens. "Then I can tear him apart. Whaddya say?"


@Clockwork Syringe

 

[Clockwork Syringe]

"If you mean to say that I'm the specialist and you're the brute force attacker in this instance, then yes I would be happy to oblige, as long as we can look over the loot he drops" Orlando explained with a grin matching the man's own smile. "My name is Orlando. However, we'll talk about that later in more detail, do you see how he favors his right side? He has a weak point on his left side, that's where I'm hitting him very well causing him to be stunned. I'll try to hit him again there, but I'll need a distraction once again. He's at 2 health bars now so if we keep this up, we could kill him."


@Exanis

 

[Exanis]

"Alexander. And if a distraction is your desire, then just sit back and wait for your chance." With that Alexander let out a cackle as he dove forward at GleamFang, screaming obsenities about his mother, father, sister, and even his uncle. He wasn't sure if that's what upset GleamFang, but all he knew was that the big wolf wanted to tear his head off more than usual. That might also be because he's dealt the most damage to it, but he liked to think he had that effect on people. Or giant wolves in this case. Unfortunately, his plan seemed to work a bit too well, as the boss started to get just as savage as him, forcing him to be a bit more defensive, even though GleamFang still managed to get a good hit on him. "Goddamn. This ain't lookin' good... Hehehehe. ALRIGHT! COME AT ME!" And with that he went back on the offensive, making sure that GleamFang had eyes solely on him.

Whilst Roku dealt with the remaining baddies and Orlando leaving, she was left with the choice of following after him or helping out Roku. But since she said she can handle them, Mira nodded and proceeded to pursue Orlando's trails. She was a bit too late for the party as Orlando and another guy was already fighting a supposedly tough boss. It's name was large and it seemed to be related to the dungeon, "<<GleamFang>>", this must be the boss of this den!


She smiles, Mira could be one of the first persons to ever encounter such brute and powerful monster alongside her team and the other people. But, they seemed to be having a trouble as GleamFang strikes the new person. Wow, he seems to be like Mira, she began to fire-up as well. Quite literally as she ran towards a distance between the two fighters and began to chant an incantation. "Let's see... Here we go! BURN IN HELL YOU DESPICABLE GROSS MONSTER! Haaaaaaaaa! Fire, Project, Bullet, Consume!" she chanted, as she waved her wand at the air. A small light appeared above her and heat was drawn into it until it created a ball of fire. Mira then launched it at GleamFang, which dealt a small amount of damage but also lit it on fire reducing it's health by a bit every second. Her mana was reduced by half, her magic regeneration was about 1 for one second, it will take time for it to recover. "Get em'!"

Lloyd had grown tired of his act pretty quickly, and, overtaken by a strong desire to challenge himself and what skills he held, he decided to head to GleamFang's Den to chart the dungeon up to the boss chamber and maybe try to kill it (or, more probably, be killed in turn). He had to get there fast though, many adventurers probably already took off while he was making a fool of himself near the board. He knew an incantation to hasten his travel to the Den, and so he started chanting it, while drawing the necessary mana from one of the two silver charms in his belt buckle and waving his scepter in precise motions: "Aether-Touch-Consume..." Aether was undoubtedly the most versatile of elements, governing offensive, defensive, buffing and healing spells. This was a self hastening spell, aimed to make his movements quicker for a time. He concentrated on the image of light rays traveling the void of spce and lightning rumbling with power: pure, almost holy speed, and he weaved the empowered spell around himself. Immediately he started running at inhuman speeds to GleamFang's Den, reaching it even sooner than expected. There were a couple of skeletons there, but, not even bothering to charge his blade with aether, Lloyd struck them with a series of quickened blunt blows with his scepter, parrying and dodging their attacks until they where a mass of bone shards. "Okay, time for phase two." He said under his breath, slightly wheezing. He canceled the previous spell and started drawing mana from the last of his charms, chanting in a monotone voice: "Aether-Touch-Consume-CHAIN-Manipulate." This spell was way more complex than the other, and even with the help of his filled charms it would stress him too much simply keeping it on for more than four or five minutes. It was an invisibility spell, based on the principle that aether governed light and you could thus manipulate its refraction by manipulating aether around your body. As Lloyd filled his mind with images of rainbows, prisms, mirrors and other refractive surfaces and phenomena, the spell began to take form, hiding him from the creatures inside.


Even though he had to be well aware of the wolves noses, he managed to reach the center room in time to see a crazed boy armed with claws charging at what the aethermancer believed to be the boss wolf: GleamFang itself. Seeing as he was badly injured, he released the spell that kept him hidden at a safe distance and, away from the fray, started casting a spell with the last of his mana. The incantation started rolling off his tongue as images of life and rebirth filled Lloyd's mind "Aether-Project-Bullet-Disperse!" That would probably be his last spell for the day, the best he could do now was helping with the wolves, so he unhooked his elemental blade from his back and put his scepter back at his side, wheezing and charging a wolf with his magicked blade spreading electric sparks all over.

[Clockwork Syringe]

At this point with both a new person joining the fray and mira joining them after finishing up killing the last few skeletons, Orlando decided at this point to go after GleamFang himself since it only had 1 HP bar left. Orlando silently got into position and closed his eyes briefly as if to calm himself before ultimately wreaking havoc on GleamFang. Suddenly his eyes flashed open with a burning desire to destroy and he charged in intending to exploit GleamFang's weak spot. GleamFang attempted to attack Orlando before it was destroyed, but Orlando dodged its attacks and hit it in its weak spot causing it to howl again. However this was the last time it would howl until it would respawn as Orlando slashed and slashed until there was one hit left so Orlando decided to do something flashy. Dodging GleamFang's desperate last attempts, he ducked and weaved until he was in range and he rammed his blade into GleamFang's chest causing it to howl loudly and collapse as Orlando pulled out his blade and Gleamfang suddenly evaporated into a pale blue light.

 

[Exanis]

"My kill! You monster! After all the trouble I went through to fight him, you decide that you can just SWOOCE right on on at kill him yourself! Unacceptable! Incomprehsible! You sir, cannot be called a gentleman of any degree for your backhanded tactics! Where is your pride? Your honor? You believe yourself so mighty that you have EARNED the right to steal another man's kill right in front of him? I will not lie, you had helped cause this fight to get to a victory. HOWEVER! I had singlehandedly charged my way through hordes of enemies, and fought the beast alone for a good portion of time while fending off his underlings. And yet, you bring yourself here after getting much assistance to even reach this point, and then you take away the feeling, the glory of the final blow? Do you honestly expect me to take this lying down? How dare you! HOW! DARE! YOU! I demand compensation for my loss of dignity and honor that has been caused by your treacherous actions! Yet I doubt you will ever repay the indignity you have cause me! I am enraged! ENRAGED I SAY! This will not do, I refuse for this to be it. My honor and dignity refuse for this to be it. My strength, will, and determination refuse for this to be it. My soul and very being refuse for this to be it. I will never forget this affront against my very being, my very soul! You have crossed a line you shouldn't have, and I pray that you are prepared for when it comes to haunt you. You will regret this... this... this treachery! You have no excuse for your actions. You cannot claim that I had fallen valiantly on the field of battle and you were avenging me. You didn't even grant me that much of an honor."


As he spoke he began to visibly fluctuate from a murderous blaze of fury to a cold controlled anger to something in between and the cycle continued. When he finally finished his tirade he plopped right down onto the ground crossed legged with his arms folded as well, and he just began to wait.


@Clockwork Syringe

 

[Clockwork Syringe]

Seeing how Alexander was seething at how Orlando had stolen his kill, Orlando remembered why he decided to take the final blow from everyone, but he decided that only Alexander should know why. It was true that it wasn't particularly honorable to take Alexander's kill, however, new people had joined the effort at the last second and he was not about to let them steal the loot from Alexander at the last second for dealing only minimal damage to GleamFang as compared to Alexander and Orlando respectively. So Orlando walked over to Alexander and whispered in his ear, "It's true, what I did wasn't very honorable, but I wasn't about to let our newest arrivals steal your well earned loot. You did deal the most damage to the creature and therefore you should have gotten first pick of the treasure, though we don't know these people well enough to assume that they would allow you that privilege," Orlando explained.


@Exanis

 

[Exanis]

Alexander took a breath and sighed. "I see. My thanks and my aplogize then. There are times when you put your very being at stake for a goal, and to have it seemingly ripped away from you causes an excess of negative feelings. While I am still upset at this outcome, I can understand your reasoning and again I thank you for such actions. If such a time comes that you are in a similar situation, I will place my life, dignity, and honor on the line to ensure you receive what you rightfully have earned." Alexander punctuates this by standing up and bowing deeply to Orlando.

 

[Ryoh Hirai]

Lloyd smashed the head of a wolf and cut up another with a spin of his electrified, aether charged blade. It looked like the enemies were pretty much gone, so, panting from the well visible effort, hooked his sword on his back and let the scepter slide in his place at his side. It looked like the two warriors that had defeated GleamFang were conspiring something, but it did not really interest him. Lloyd's true purpose for that run had been to test some of his spells and map the dungeon, something he did without a great many problems. After leaving sometime for the warriors to talk amongst themselves and recover his breath, he started walking trying to strike up a conversation with his fellows adventurers: "Hey there!" He began, speaking to the blonde claw bearing warrior. "Did you like my heal? Feeling refreshed? The name's Lloyd Lamley, pleased to meet you!" Lloyd said smiling warmly to the both of them.


@Exanis @Clockwork Syringe

 

[Clockwork Syringe]

((Im using those who dealt hits to Grimfang as a template, correct me if I'm wrong in doing so.))


As the Orlando and Alexander were finishing their conversation, a small menu popped up indicating the loot for defeating GleamFang. The text read, "Congrats for defeating GrimFang +Alexander +Orlando +Mira, you each receive 300 gold pieces as well as a choice of GrimFang's Tooth or GrimFang's Hide to craft whichever you please." Orlando already knew which he would pick, he selected the option of GrimFang's Tooth for his secondary reward and the menu closed. As he did so, a second menu popped up confirming he dealt the final hit earning him a bonus. "Congrats for scoring the final hit bonus, here is your reward: Elemental Imbuement, whilst holding a weapon of your choice in one hand, and tome in the other speak clearly '(Element of choice), Enchant'. Upon use the tome will be consumed, however you will find that your weapon is now embued with the element of your choice permanently." Orlando decided to keep that under his metaphorical hat for when his new weapon would be made. He turned to the new member known as Lloyd and spoke while sheathing his katana, "Name's Orlando" Orlando stated.

(Posting, seeing as I am about to be preoccupied for the next hour and a half with errands.


@Edward Valentine , feel free to do as you please. Including, following after Ashlynn. However, this is an opportunity release so you won't be post locked if I am busy.)


"You seem mistaken." Ashlynn spoke, her eyes peering through the mask that was her hair as she continued to face the windows. Only by the allure of a meal's scent was her full attention brought to the table, forcing her to sit forward once more. With hands generously gripping the bowl, she took a moment to relish the heat it provided. "Despite the pleasantries and credentials given towards them, it would seem it is the adventurers are those who serve." Her words were muffled, focusing more on the task at hand as she raised the bowl to her lips, taking a cautious sip of the warm broth. Within a moment of this time her empty bowl would meet the table. As if some invisible beast had devoured the delicacy before it had a chance to be savored. With hands now grasping the cup of tea her attention collected on the individual across from her. "Regardless of development or lack thereof, the Denizens survive within this world without change. It is only when we appear that something runs amiss. As well, you may note that it never states that those called 'adventures' even aided directly in the construction. Perhaps we are a form of market circulation, a form of cattle used to fuel their movements."


Taking a moment, Ashlynn took a small sip of the drink, tightening her grip on the cup as the first drops of the liquid met her lips. An irritable burn came to her eyes, however the feeling was not entirely unpleasant, a peculiar feeling indeed. With hesitation, she lowered the cup once more, attempting to regain complete composure before continuing. "If we were truly masters, why is it that we appear in random intervals, and what is it that brings us? Seemingly, it is as if we are summoned, called upon to partake in our role within this world. You heard the bell, did you not? The temple holds no such bell, nor does it produce the sound it did on the first day." The female forced her eyes closed, bringing the cup to her lips once more before forcibly downing the drink. Resting the item on the table, her hands once more returned to her mouth to catch the warm breathes she released. With air becoming cool, the female pushed herself out of the booth to stand. "It would seem I have more to look into. I thank you for the meal, adventurer, however I still have much to learn before discovering the true history of this land. Come morning I shall seek passage to another town, I need to compare the works of literature to see if there are any other views to be had." With the idea of finding new knowledge, she left the individual alone, ignoring the idea of the second portion of food that was to be delivered. She made way to cross the room, reaching her hand out to greet the handle upon exit.

The bell chimes loudly within the darkened town, far too late for this to be a common occurrence. With Grimfang slain, and the first dungeon completed, a noticeable change was to come. One might notice that the 'Denizens' begin to behave more like their 'adventurer' counterparts, as well their shops have wider selections when open. More so, each appears to now have independent thought.

With the bells chime, Ashlynn paused, "This can not be right.." . Her prior thoughts were being denounced with each strike. More so when a plate struck the ground, forcing her attention to turn on the waitress that was their server. She began exclaiming words of apologetic nature, greeted only by the individual she would come to label as father. Neither mentioning the bell, but rather blaming it on her own clumsy nature. Turning once more to the door, she hurriedly pushed herself through, allowing no further word to the individual she arrived with. Instead, she proceeded down the streets, hurriedly making her way towards the Library.


Upon arrival she was greeted by a familiar face in an unnatural scene. "Oh! If it isn't Ashlynn, what are you doing out so late, my child?" Serena spoke from her position at the bottom of the stairs. Never before had she seen the old book keeper leave the library, even on the nights she made point to watch the individual at the sacrifice of sleep. "I was seeking a source of nourishment, but disregarding that, what are you doing out Serena?" Cutting all corners, she chose to seek the answer directly, still curious on the situation at hand with the bell. "Why I was invited to join my daughter at her home for dinner. Say, Ashlynn, would you mind caring for the library while I am gone? You do know it well after all." With a nod from the dark haired girl, the librarian made way off into the night. Something strange was happening, they were breaking their patterns and she held no knowledge of why this might be.


"What has begun?"

 

[revior]

Squares. Oh so colorful are the tiny specks of squares that flickers before his eyes. So colorful they are, yet they are not beautiful, the spasm of colors are naught but an annoyance, they were something very unpleasant to the eyes. However, just as he was no longer able to bear staring at them, the colorful square begins to form pictures. These pictures that he sees flew by him quickly, fading away from his mind just as he recognize the contents held within. "What were those?" he wondered, but no answer came. And then, a sound, a loud echoing sound. He recognizes it, it was a bell. And as the bell resounds, the colorful squares scattered and all fades back to the blackness that it came. Then, rang a second bell, and his eyes opens.


His name is, if he remember correctly, Joshua Gladiolus. Other than his own name, he remembers nothing, nothing at all.


"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, could this be? Amnesia!?"


The genius was quick to figure out what's going on, in fact, he's so quick, that most of everybody else have left.


"Well, tis a good thing I have a diary with me just for times like this. I always knew all that writing would pay off."


He didn't, in fact, have a diary, nor did he always knew all that writing would pay off. But he sure would like to believe that he did.


"Now where did I placed it?"


Probably the same place he placed his brain, the void of nonexistence. But regardless, he attempted to retrace his own steps, quickly returning to the point when he woke. At this point, he realized, once again, that he does not remember anything beyond that point.


"Hmm, could this be? Amnesia!?"


And this goes on for a bit. Let us skip ahead.


"So you're telling me, that you want me deliver this to an item shop, literally twenty steps away, for some junk of a sword?"


"Yes, that is correct, Mr. Adventurer. Would you like me to give you the directions to the item shop again?"


"No! I can see it right there!"


After leaving what seems to be a temple in the attempt to search for his "lost diary", Joshua was called out by a vendor of a weapon shop.


"What if I just take this stuff and take off? I bet that this cost more than that sword."


"Would you like me to give you the directions to the item shop again?"


As if a broken recorder, the shop vendor just gave the same line over and over again.


"Argh, fine! If you insist, I'll deliver your stupid stuff. Why does an item shop owner even needs anything from a weapon shop anyway."


"She needs it to gather her herbs, Mr. Adventurer. It's dangerous to go beyond the city walls alone."


"Is that what she tells you? I bet she makes other people do it for her as well, and she'll make it twenty of something at a time just to be spiteful."


Reluctantly, Joshua delivers the package to the item shop only to be asked to deliver another package from the item shop to somewhere else. And so, somewhere down that line, Joshua was eventually referred to as the "Super Ultra Delivery Boy" or at least that's what he calls himself while delivering all sorts of worthless junk across town.


A few days passed while he does this, playing the role of courier of from various people across town who seems to always wants the deliver the same stuff to the same people. However, on this night, this night something changed. And the change was marked the ringing of a bell, a bell that he heard when he first awoke in the temple. The bell rings for the third time.


"What do you mean you have nothing for me? You always have something for me, the same thing in fact. Heck, I did it so many times, I now know how to get the the other end of the town in three minutes."


Joshua was doing some courier work till late at night today as well, it wasn't a job that pays very well, in fact, most of the time he just receives some useless trinkets that can be sold for less that dirt.


"Sorry Mr. Adventurer, but I have nothing for you right now. I have to close up shop to, gotta prepare for the wedding you see."


"Finally! I sent that lady the same damn gift for god knows how many times now. But seriously, help a guy out here, surely you can sent her something again. You're the only guy that actually pays me something. I mean, what the hell am I supposed to do with some bronze earrings, do I look like I have to hole in my ear to put them in... Well technically there's a hole, but you know that's not what I mean. I'll get you one day, item shop lady."


As Joshua mumbles on, the other shop vendor have already walked away.


That was the last job he knows about for today. Of course, there's always those monster slaying jobs, but really he's not in it for the money. No, he's here so that he could look for his supposed "lost diary", and the courier work that lets him run lets him do just that. He ain't leaving till he searched every single corner. But for now, no more jobs tonight, time to hit the sack.


Now like all adventurers in town, Joshua has no home to call his own. Which is why he sleeps at an inn, or at least he would if his income is not so crummy. So instead, this guy sleep in the nearby library. Every night, he would sneak in there undetected, or so he likes to believe, but the old lady there totally saw him, she just pretty much ignored him most of the time. Tonight is no different as he sneaks in through the front door, because that's where you want to enter from when sneaking into any given place, expecting the (probably)nearsighted old lady to be looking after this place as she does every night.

Roku finished off the two wolves whom had remained then stepped out of the cavern looking towards where the bell was ringing, "Hm I wonder for whom that bell tolls for?" Roku looked at the sky questioningly before shaking her head, "That was terribly thought out." She chuckled before using one of her Arrows and etching in the names of her other party members and her own. "We owned this dungeon! Even if I missed the boss." Roku placed the arrow back and looked towards the city again.


She began to hunt some more monsters while waiting for the others to finish up as she didn't really want to leave them when she had promised a cake celebration for them all.

Kala Had been wanting to help with the boss, but wasn't willing to leave anyone behind so when the bell rang she only sighed. "Perhaps another time Gleamfang." She said as she put Anguish back up on her shoulder and turned on her heel, headed for the exit of the dungeon. In all honestly Kala was curious who exactly she'd fought with; she hadn't really gotten all that great of a look at any of them other than she knew the voice of a male. Oh well. We'll all meet again at some point. Maybe. Who knows. She thought to herself as she walked out of Gleamfang's Den, hood and mask still up.


((Ah I can finally reply! Sorry if I missed anyone~))

"Roku, Mira, can I possibly take a raincheck on the whole cake thing? It's getting dark out and I'm feeling sort of exhausted. I'll be in the town tomorrow so I'll probably see you soon. Alexander, it was nice to meet you and I hope to work with you again in the future, you're a hell of a fighter man. Llyod, I've only just met you, but I'll probably see you again in the future." Orlando said goodnight to all and began to walk back to the town intending to get some much needed rest after slaying Gleamfang. As he began to walk back towards the town he noticed the woman who had joined the fight late in the game walking up ahead so he decided to try to talk to her. "Excuse me miss, may I have a word?"

Valentine

​

Valentine looks up at the woman as she rejects everything she can't prove with empirical knowledge written down in the libraries and he sighs to himself. He pokes around at his soup as he thinks to himself, "She can gain all the information she wants but she will never learn like this." He then looks over to the woman who is handing them the sammichs. The woman had inhaled her soup before the sammichs were sat on the table. She was standing up and walking out of the restaurant. Valentine wasn't gonna complain. She was obviously a little off her rocker with everything that happened once they entered the game. He felt her unsettled nature and if she needed to run from him and his open-minded ideas then Valentine wasn't gonna stop her.


Even though Valentine would let her run and hide, the game wasn't gonna let her. The bells were ringing and the alert was sent out about the dungeon being defeated. Valentine smiled to himself. He was glad that not everyone was stuck in the mud. The clattering of a plate in the restaurant interrupted his happy time. His head whipped around to the more apathetic NPC. He was a little surprised by it but then he began to look around and he noticed that the world was beginning to get noisy. The citizens of the town were happy, laughing, enjoying, drinking, dancing, partying and most of all experiencing. It was as if the makers had been listening to his philosophies and acted upon them.


Valentine downed the rest of his coffee before standing up. He took the sammich in his hand and walked out the inn, but not before paying. He walked out into the now livelier air of the evening and watched the street passers enjoy the night life of the village. Valentine would take a bite of his sammich ever so often and once it was gone, he wiped his hands clean and walked away from the inn and towards the town library. He wanted to find that girl again. He wanted to get her out of that stuffy place and take her out to find more about this world.


Valentine walked back into the library and smirked when he saw the girl. He walked over to her and nudged her arm. He spoke up once he got her attention. "Your coming with me. There are parts of this world unexplored and maybe filled with vast books or more knowledge that your not gonna get here. Come on. Lets go explore the world."
