Forgetful Zed
After upgrading his Estus Flask via Anastasia, he decided to kill the Taurus Demon. That boss is one of the easiest bosses in the game, at least for him. He had a strategy for defeating that boss. Just climb up the ladders and plunge attack him, rinse and repeat. That's all. Don't worry though, the Taurus Demon's attack can't reach you when you're climbing the ladders. Unless you are too slow.
He was just about to venture towards the Undead Burg, when he suddenly remembered...After dying in Dark Souls, you lose all of your souls. And he just died earlier...
He quickly checked his inventory and saw all of his souls gone...26240 souls, all gone...
Goddamit!
I should've used it all earlier before going towards New Londo!
Zed grumbled under his breath as he made his way through the stairs, where the Crestfallen Warrior looks at him weirdly.

(New Londo)
Zed steps into the water and felt the cold liquid entering his Silver Boots. He shivered slightly before continuing on.
In the distance, he can see a green-colored light not too far away. After confirming what it was, he quickly ran towards that green light.
He saw 1 ghost appearing in front of him while running but he ignored it and continued running towards that green light on the cold water surrounding his feet.
When he finally reaches it, he saw the game screen appearing in front of him.
________
Would you like to recover your lost souls?
[Yes or No]
________
He immediately presses [Yes] before running away from that spot because he just saw two ghostly scythes beside him.
He steps foot on the bridge and under it is water. He outran the ghosts and got his souls back and now, he went towards the elevator on foot.
______________________________________
(Firelink Shrine)
Zed climbed the stairs after going out of the elevator. When he reached the end of the stairs, he saw Anastasia still sitting in that dreadful cage of hers.
Zed waved at her and she only smiled back at him.
Zed smiled a little before towards the stairs leading to the bonfire, where the Crestfallen Warrior sat.
Zed saw the Crestfallen Warrior still sitting in that log. He nodded at him and he nodded back.
Zed then walks towards the right section of the stone walls. After going through that, he climbed up the land that was somehow upwards.
He carefully watched his steps as he walks on that grounds. After nervously climbing up, he saw two hollows. One with a basic armor in front of him charging towards him and the other who is fully armored at the back.
Zed readied his Hand Axe and Shield. The hollow ran towards him sluggishly and it slashes its small weird towards him. He blocked it with his shield and the sword made a loud clang.
Zed continued putting his shield upfront and the hollow was about to attack when Zed parried it easily.
The last thing the hollow saw was blazing blue eyes with one tomoe in each before the hollow was slashed in the stomach with Zed's Hand Axe. The hollow knelt down and was about to fall but Zed held the hollow's head and he chopped it off.
Zed threw away the head on the cliff before looking at the armored hollow while smirking.
He knew that there was a hollow who will be throwing firebombs at him. So, he picks up a rock from somewhere and he threw it at the armored hollow to attract its attention.
And as expected, it did. The Undead Soldier charges at him with little mistakes unlike the Hollow Warrior from earlier.
The hollow reached him and thrusts the sword at him. But Zed just smirks and he blocked it with his shield easily. The hollow was pushed back a little and Zed took that into his advantage.
With his quick movements, he put his shield back into his inventory and replaced it with his dagger. He stabs that hollow with it and the hollow clutches its wound before Zed moves quickly behind it and backstabbed it with both of his weapons.
He slashes the Hand Axe on its waist and he pierced his dagger into its armor, before the dagger burrowed into its undead skin.
The Undead Soldier fell into its knees and fell down dead.
Zed smiled in victory but his victory was short-lived because he realized that there were still four hollows up the stairs.
He sighed and he lit up his Sharingan again. He looks up towards where the hollows were before walking through the stairs.
(10 Minutes Later)
Zed managed to defeat them all with the half of his HP still there. He sat down on the stairs and he took out a bottle of Estus Flask before he opens the lid. He drank the from the bottle and he slowly felt his HP recovering.
After drinking from it, he put it back into his inventory box.
That was a hard battle. I'm sure if it weren't for my Sharingan, I would've died. Hmm, I wonder when will my Sharingan evolve? No matter, I still have time.
Let's see my Status first.

Zed noticed the Sharingan percentage and he was surprised that he was able to reach that progress in such a short time.
Beat that Uchihas!
And his Basic Martial Arts, he is quite confused as to why its progress bar managed to reach that percentage. All he did was fight hollows...could it be?
When he fights, the game considers it as practicing his martial arts. And when he swings his weapon or use his limbs, the game will increase his progress in his martial arts.
That was why my movements were so fluids earlier!
Zed chuckles to himself before he suddenly realized that he hasn't use his souls...fuck!
Zed knew that if he died he will lose his souls and when he dies again without claiming the souls back, he will lose it forever!
Zed made sighed bitterly and made a hard decision. He will rest at the bonfire, which in turn, will respawn the enemy again.
Look at the bright side, at least I'll be able to level up my Basic Martial Arts after battling those hollows again.
(5 Minutes Later)
He is now back at the Firelink Shrine in front of the bonfire, resting.
He used all of his souls to get some stat points for his stats. Yes, stat points. Basically, he can trade stat points for souls in the bonfire. The Ancient God seems to have modified this world a little, and that terrifies Zed.
What if he changed other things? Like he made other enemies more harder to fight or added something from Dark Souls 2 and 3. Things would turn shitty if that Ancient God did change something like that.
Zed shook his head and just looks at his Status Screen. After using around 26950 souls, he managed to buy 21 Stat Points. (He borrowed the last 50 souls from the Crestfallen Warrior).
And now, he is broke. He has 0 souls and nothing more.
But at least, he will be able to spend these stat points.
He allocated his stat points and now, this is his stats.

Zed sighed sadly at his 0 souls.
He snapped out of it and he looks at the Crestfallen Warrior before saying, "I am really grateful for giving me those 50 souls earlier."
"Don't worry about it, in fact, you don't have to pay me back. Those measly 50 souls are just a very small part of my soul stash, " After saying that, he chuckles.
"Hahaha, thanks. If you have something you need help with in the future, tell me. I'm sure to be there, " Zed said.
"Hah hah hah, I'll take it. Same for me, when you have troubles, just come to me, and I'll help you, " He said.
Zed smiled a little before standing up and he turned around with his arm raised up waving towards the Crestfallen Warrior.
He silently walks towards the raised land while waving his right hand.
Now, he will reach the Undead Burg, for real this time...
