Chapter 4 Of Volume 1 A Rude Awakening

Journal Entry 10 Massive fight

It's been sometime since I went on a big hunt and I was eager to get some good kills on some. I thought if I go on a massive hunt for mobs out there in the wilds of SAO I would get some large amounts of loot. Last time I did that I got enough Col from the dropped items to get a personal home for myself and some new more powerful armor and weapons. This time I thought my luck nearly got me killed by a player. Or should I say group of players. I was just minding my own when a throwing dagger went flying past my head. when I looked behind me where the dagger came from I saw someone moving. After a short chase I was led into a trap. My would-be killer brought me to 9 of their friends and I was surrounded. I had to fight for my life to get out of there. Thank god they ran at some point because I was getting tired and wouldn't last much longer. I have no clue why they ran but they looked scared by something. I hope I'll never find out what scared them because a few of them screamed.

Journal Entry 11 Another fight with a surprise.

I swear these guys like me because I ran into those same guys from last time. This time they brought more people. Don't see why because I was alone but I was ready for them. I had a little surprise waiting for them. When I was starting to come under the stress of them all two cloaked players came down from the cliff edge above and positioned themself between me and my attackers. I'll tell you now I didn't tell anyone about my encounter with them because of how it ended so no one knew about them and this wasn't what I had planned. Anyway these two cloaked players started saying that if my attackers don't leave they will take them down. For some reason I thought I recognized their voices before but couldn't remember. I was about to pull my little secret out when I jumped down so I pulled it out and charged at the attackers in front of them disarming and knocking three off their feet, badly hurting two more and making the rest run away scared. I was kind of glad those two cloaked players arrived when they did because it also gave me enough time to prep my sword skill for use on my attackers. When I looked to where they were they were gone. I looked around and saw them running after the ones who I scared off. I was wanting to know who they were but never found out. I later found out that a group of player killers has been captured and taken to prison for murdering other players. Finally people are starting to deal with them but one thing doesn't seem right. This happened a few minutes after I was attacked. Not sure but I think those two cloaked players had something to do with their capture. This entry is getting long so I best get some rest. It's late and I'm getting tired.
