"Okay, now that you have dealt with all the fighting capabilities of the Dire Wolves and the Frenzied Boars, you need to head over to the boss area," said Kayaba as he took the data gathered from the Frenzied Boars and Dire Wolves.
"Where is it?" asked Sora as he walked around.
"It's… You know what, I'm sure I can just TP you there," said Kayaba, not willing to give Sora information on how to get to the boss field. If Sora ends up playing the game, he will just be running straight to the boss to defeat him. (A/N: For those who don't know, TP means Teleport.)
"..."
Sora remained quiet as he noticed what Kayaba was trying to do. He shook his head and waited for a while before seeing his surroundings shift. In an instant, Sora was inside the boss room.
"So you just threw me into the fight with no good equipment and no skills?" Sora quickly pulled out his swords as he looked at the Kobolds awaken and a huge and fat Kobold woke up as well.
"Hold on, give me a second," said Kayaba as he typed away on his computer as fast as he could.
In just seconds, Sora heard some dings as he looked at the huge Kobold stomping his way over to Sora.
[Unlocked One-Handed Sword: Slice!]
[Unlocked One-Handed Sword: Pierce!]
[Unlocked One-Handed Sword: Hook!]
[Unlocked One-Handed Sword: Iaido!]
[Unlocked One-Handed Sword: Point!]
[Unlocked One-Handed Sword: Hack!]
[Unlocked One-Handed Sword: Hang!]
[Unlocked One-Handed Sword: Carry!]
[Unlocked One-Handed Sword...]
[Unlocked One-Handed Sword...]
[...]
Quickly, many One-Handed Sword skill moves were unlocked with the notification screens flashing through Sora's face.
"Did you unlock them all?" asked Sora as he quickly performed the skill Pierce.
CRITICAL!
-120!
Quickly, the Kobold dissipated into many light fragments. Performing attacks with skills increases the amount of damage by a certain amount in percent, as the level of the skill One-Handed Sword increases, the damage increases as well.
"No. I only unlocked the ones you added. I need to record your moves and add them to the Skill system," said Kayaba as he looked at Sora execute the moves.
"How will you record them?" asked Sora as he quickly performed one move after the other.
"I need you to yell out the name of the skill so I can record your movements," said Kayaba with a smile.
"No way!" said Sora as he stopped attacking and jumped back.
There was no way Sora was going to be embarrassing himself by yelling out the names of his moves. It was a dumb idea.
"How about you just record my body continuously and I will then edit the stuff. That way it's a win-win situation. I will be performing the moves over and over, so it doesn't matter if I mess up," said Sora as he dove back to fighting with the Kobold minions.
"Ugh… fine," sighed Kayaba as he just pressed the record button.
Quickly, Sora began performing moves after moves perfectly and swiftly. With no flaw in any of his movements, Sora quickly took down the Kobold minions, angering the giant Kobold who was attacking Sora this whole time yet missed every single attack.
"Graahh!" growled Illfang the Kobold Lord.
The Kobold Lord jumped at Sora with amazing speed that didn't match it's size. Sora tapped the ground with his foot, jumping away from Illfang's attack.
GRRR…
Illfang turned to look at Sora with a snarl before swinging his axe at Sora.
Not jumping away this time, Sora stood his ground and waited for the axe to be right in his face before parrying the Axe. Once Illfang got stunned, Sora began to use a high leveled skill as he flashed around Illfang's body multiple times.
Every time he appeared at different locations, a sword would flash, leaving red sword wounds all over Illfang's body.
Wind Storm!
Many cuts appeared around Illfang, yet they all seemed to form a spiral that connected from the bottom of his foot. Within just one skill, Sora had brought down Illfang's 50,000 HP down to 49,000 HP.
A rather huge amount of damage considering how Illfang should be taken down by a lot of players and not a solo player.
'Now the next move!'
Ten Secret Comets!
Sora stood in front of Illfang after stunning him once more. With his feet deeply rooted onto the floor, Sora pierced and hacked at Illfang with heavy hits, thrashing him around the boss room.
Illfang didn't have the chance to retaliate as Sora sent attack after attack at Illfang.
In just 15 minutes of thrashing Illfang around like a ragdoll, Illfang was already left with 2,000 HP.
He had switched to his weapon earlier, but Sora stunned him whilst he was switching weapons. Now with one sword move left, Sora stopped in front of Illfang with fierce eyes and bulging muscles.
Exploding Whirlwind Blade!
Like a whirlwind, Sora appeared before Illfang sending multiple sword slashes at Illfang. Each sword strike was like an explosion as it left huge red marks on Illfang's body.
The sword strikes were heavy and each one took 200 HP from Illfang. Once the last hit landed, Illfang exploded into multiple light particles.
Two screens appeared before Sora's vision, one was the congratulations and the other was the completion rewards list.
"I'm glad those sword skills are only unlockable at level 1000 of the One-Handed Sword skill and a level 500 Meditation skill. It's cooldown is also very high," sighed one of the programmers who was seeing Sora fight the Kobold Lord.
"Yeah… That kid is really amazing." A young female programmer sighed as she completely fell in love with Sora's amazing martial prowess and warrior-like appearance.
"You can say that again," sighed another female programmer.
Sora looked at the item he received from Illfang and wore it. It was the exact same coat he was given outside in the real world.
Looking at himself, Sora realized that he looked pretty good in coats. Although that was just a naturally acceptable thing since he's supposed to look extremely well with robes.
After weaning the Coat of Midnight, Sora looked around at his surroundings and yelled, "Kayaba! What now?"
"Log out, we don't have much in store today since we now have to deal with all the data we received," said Kayaba, not lifting his head up from the papers he's dealing with.
Sora heard Kayaba and nodded.
Swiping his forefinger and middle finger together downward, Sora called up his screen that showed his skills, armor, weapons, options, help, and Logout.
Sora went over to the logout button and realized that he wouldn't logout no matter how much he pressed the button.
"Kayaba..." started Sora as he tried pressing the button once more only to fail to logout, I can't logout."
"What?!" asked Kayaba with shock as he lifted his head with wide eyes.
"Yeah. The logout button is greyed out and I can't press on it," said Sora as he tried pressing the button once more.
"That shouldn't be possible!"
Kayaba jumped over to his computer and pretended to look panicked as he shifted through the lines of code.
"Looks like a bug was found. But this will take three days to deal with," said Kayaba as he furrowed his eyebrows.
Kayaba got rid of the logout button so that when the group of programmers fix it and reinforce it from being gone again, he could just make the bug more difficult to get rid off for the future.
With a look of satisfaction coming from his eyes, Kayaba looked at Sora with an apologetic look to use his as the tester.
"I can wait," said Sora as he walked around the room before heading over to the stairs that head up.
"Where are you heading?" asked Kayaba as he looked at Sora with interest.
"I'm going to keep on fighting against these monsters and become more familiar with the sword. Whilst I'm at it, throw in the other weapons too and I will perform all the skills while I'm at it," said Sora as he walked up the stairs and appeared back in the Town of Beginnings.
Sora walked on over to the portal area and setted up the portal for the 2nd floor.
"Okay, that shall be done..."
With that said, Kayaba unlocked all the weapon skills and Martial Art skill moves for Sora. Kayaba unlocked all the skills, even the ones Sora didn't create.
Kayaba sent the skills and the skill moves over to Sora along with the many different weapons of the game. Even the elusive bows of the game that Kayaba allows in because of constant begging from a programmer that used to be in the Archery Club in highschool. (A/N: There was mention of bows being used in the game by a player, I forgot whether they said if it was cannon or not, or even a spin-off. So i just decided to add it in.)
Sora saw that he received the weapons and skills, before nodding and entering the next floor.
Once on the next floor, Sora began hunting the monsters with the many different weapons at his grasp. Once he hunted around 30 Trembling Oxen, Sora checked the time.
19:00 (7 PM)
"Hmm… I should have time to find the entrance to this floor's boss monster," said Sora with a light voice.
'I should also change my skill and weapon now,' he thought as he pulled up his screen and scrolled through the lists of skills before finding one that caught his attention.
[Infinite Spear]
Looking at the name of the skill, Sora equipped the skill before choosing a spear as his fighting weapon. Once he was set, Sora set off to look for the entrance to the second floor boss.
MOO!!
With a loud call, a Lesser Taurus Striker appeared out of nowhere. It's appearance didn't startle Sora who was expecting this to happen. He brought out the spear and quickly used the moves of the Infinite Spear skill.
Leaping Stab!
It was a one hit skill that dealt quite a bit of damage, it's main point of focus being speed. Once the Leaping Stab was used, Sora would usually have to wait some time to use the skill again. Yet a second barely passed and the move was ready to be used once more!
'Amazing...' said Sora as he quickly moved on to using the next move.
Delight Wheel Slice!
Sora spun with the spear in hand as he sliced at the huge Lesser Taurus Striker with a speed that isn't supposed to be coming from a level 1 player. Quickly, Sora performed a 360 and from a slash to the face, Sora ended by slicing at the Lesser Taurus Striker's legs.
"MOO!"
The Lesser Taurus Striker fell on it's knees before disappearing into many light particles with one last Moo. Sora finally took it down after 3 more different moves from the Infinite Spear skill.
Infinite Spear skill was amazing. The moves had almost no cooldown and the longest cooldown was only 30 seconds long. It was a fast spear skill, the only downside to it is the weak power behind the attacks.
If someone really wanted to make this spear skill truly great, they would need the CRITICAL skills, better weapons, and a higher level.
Sora walked past the place where he killed the Lesser Taurus Striker before smirking, 'I can make this spear skill even better without needing CRITICAL skills, a better weapon, or even a higher level.'
Musing himself, Sora placed his hand on his chin as he thought about using the Yin and Yang Forces as well as the Spinning Force. If he made good use of these three forces, he will be dealing a lot of damage to the monsters.
'I should find more ways to do more damage!' thought Sora as he swing the spear at a huge bug near him, a monster.
'Where can I get something like that?' thought Sora as he swung his spear once more and hit another bug.
"But of course!" exclaimed Sora as he remembered the amazing skills he could use.
Tidal Push and Wave Essence!
Both were almost the exact same. Wave Essence focuses on attacks that are followed by even more powerful attacks like a wave whilst Tidal Push condenses the power of one attack and sends it out at once.
With Tidal Push, the most one could multiply their attack power by was 20! A truly devastating amount of power that could easily harm, and quite possibly kill, the target of the attack.
'But I need more skills like these!' thought Sora rather greedily as he checked the other Martial Skills, Martial Techniques, and Immortal Arts he has.
