A New World

A man with dark blue unkempt messy hair groans as he wakes up. What the hell happened, my brain feels like It's going to explode? The man opens his eyes and sees a forest stretched out before him. Silent no birds chirping, or insect's in the background. As he stands up, he looks around and sees a small pond nearby and walks towards the pond slowly and kneels down at the pond to see his reflection.

What the hell this looks like my Vint World Online character I made to test my game I was making Vint World Online. He then flips his finger down as If scrolling on an Internet page on a touchscreen desktop computer and his menu appears.

That's right my character's name Is Zora guess I'll go with that hmm Inventory, my level Is one, Skill's Perk's, Trait's system seems to be all here huh but why was I reset to level one strange. Zora looks at a tab on his menu that says "developer tools". Do I still have access to that seriously? Zora click's the developer tab as It show's a new menu. Such as spawning Item's creating NPCs, landscape modifying tools, add level's, add Skill points, add Trait points, add Spell point's, add Perk points, add Subclasses, add Attribute points, even God Mode and various other tool's.

Crazy I do ok well I guess for now I'll spawn myself a level 100 katana sword and some level 100 Samurai Armor give myself 100 level's and go from there. Zora click's the corresponding button for adding level's and a keyboard appears and then type's 100 and clicks confirm then he looks to the top left corner of his menu.

Hmm, seems like It worked good. Zora then spawn's his armor and blade and puts them on. Zora now looks like a traditional Samurai warrior from Japan the Armor Is red with the Chosakabe Clan Symbol on the back section. Ok, all set now let's just distribute some Attribute points, Perk points, and Trait points, and choose a Subclass now. Since I am level 100 I shouldn't have to give myself extra point's I don't want to be too Overpowered I wanna enjoy this World and what It can offer first.

Zora close's the developer menu. And goes to the Attribute's screen. Hmm tough call here to make guess I'll just go with a balanced build, for now, should be ok never did make a level cap In Vint World Online just to see how long and far player's would go plus the world Is full of dungeons and thousand's of nation's and what not.

Hmm, I got 500 Attribute points due to making myself level 100. Zora scratches and tilts his head to the side and thinks to himself. Hmm Is that too much or too little I can't tell oh well I suppose. Well, this was the first game I ever made and It was nowhere near completion let alone only my family knew of Its Existence and Helped In many aspects of creating It with me. And I worked on It alone for the most part. Didn't want anyone changing my work In any Event. I am bound to have made mistakes.

Zora then adds 100 point's to his Strength and Agility,50 point's to his Intelligence,100 points to his Endurance,100 to his Perception, And 25 to both his Dexterity and Luck. Ok, that looks good and since I leveled up 100 times brought it up passively one point per level so now I have 200 Strength,200 Agility,150 Intelligence, 200 Endurance,200 Perception,125 Dexterity, and 125 Luck.

Ok looks good should keep me alive I don't want to have to use my developer tools all the time I want to be able to enjoy this world to the fullest Zora say's again to himself. Now skill's let's see. Zora goes to the skill's menu and a huge list of different skills appear. Hmm, first skill would be Communication definitely need that If my assumption Is true my Game World Is real. In which case a Time Distortion Event might've occurred which means the Country's, and Nation's, and Kingdom's, And Clan's, and Tribe's, that I made are gone, they will have their own Language System's too most likely It's a good thing I made that skill Universal If maxed out.

Zora look's to the top right corner and sees he has 200 Skill points to spend. Zora click's to max the Communication skill 20 points spent. Ok, what else do I want I still have 180 points left I suppose one Hand Damage, Speed, and Defense Skills I will need. And the Medium Armor Specialty Skill, BlackSmithing will be nice to maintain my Armor and Weapons on the field as well as randomly making Armor and Weapons to sell. Maybe some Magic Skills too.

Zora maxes the one Hand Damage Skill, One Hand Speed Skill, The one Hand Defense Skill, The Medium Armor Specialty Skill, and BlackSmithing.Then goes to the SubClass Section. Ok let's choose Magic Knight my main class Is The Samurai so at least this way I can use Magic.I'll only be capable of having 5 Offense Class Skills from my Main class, and 3 Offensive Sub Class Spell's,3 Defensive Sub Class Spell's, and 2 Support Subclass Spell's, and 1 Healing Spell from my Subclass which Is fine by me.

Zora then goes to the Skill Class Section, and choose Blade Whirlwind Skill, Acceleration Skill, Phase Shifting Skill, Blade Hardening Skill, Armor Hardening Skill. Now for the Magic Skills. Zora changes to the Magic Section of Spell's and chooses Black Hole Spell, Ice Spear, and Fireball spell. Wish I could get more Offensive Spell's Maybe later on when my class level up. Now for my Defensive Spells. Ice Armor Spell, Mana Barrier Spell, and Stonewall Spell, as Defense spells. Now for Support Spells. Zora chooses Revival Spell and Teleportation Spell. And finally Healing Magic.

Just as Zora says this a loud explosion Is heard deep In the forest. What the hell was that nevermind focus, Zora, Zora then choose the Mass Healing Spell. Now for my Perk's. Zora goes to the Perk Section, hmm 50 Perk point's cool. Zora then choose Tanning perk and maxes It to level 10.Then maxes the Crafting Perk with 10 points, Then the Hunting Perk maxes It too, I wonder what that Explosion was. Magic maybe anyway next Perk this one Seems very helpful.

Matter Skinning(Allows to skin entire Animal Corpses or Monster Corpses Into useful Materials.)Another 10 points spent the last Perk should be I suppose Sense Danger. Alright, no more Perk points left next up Trait's Now. Zora hears another explosion again In the same direction. Seriously should check that out soon I got 5 Trait point's ok good. Zora chooses Analyst Trait,(When used allows Player to see one's Information relies on Relationship Standing to see more Private Information.)

Infinite Inventory. (An Inventory storage space with no capacity limit).Teaching trait(When In use selected person will receive a Big Experience boost only one person can be selected at a time.)Lastly, I'll take High-Speed Regeneration cause why not. (I won't be able to take any more Trait's until I am level 200 because of this Trait though and It's only available once you reach level 100.)

Good all done.About time to Investigate the source of the explosions. Zora then dart's off towards where he heard the explosions. As Zora dash's through the forest he hears the sound of battle and he stops at a cliff overlooking a battle that's just ending one side an army of 10 thousand who seem to be the victors are clad in Silver Armor, whilst the other army who seem to be all Demi Humans are running for their lives in every direction except toward their obvious enemy. Only a few 100 or so of them left Alive, Corpse's litter the battlefield from both sides. Hmm judging by those Demi Human's and how they aren't as well armored as that army I can only conclude they were charged for treason and they defended themselves that or a Rebellion.

THE MERCENARY CAPTAIN CHAPTER 1 PART 1 

Zora starts walking off towards the Silver Armored Army Camp. Sadly I rather not get Involved without enough Information on what's going on. But I need Information In general so for now, maybe I can get contracted as a Mercenary or at least get directions to a nearby City. The Soldier's see Zora approaching the camp and unsheathes their Blade's and hold out their Spear's to him. Zora rise's his arms. Whoa now calm down I am a mercenary looking for work Gentleman not here to cause problems. Soldier 1 then says.hmph, Mercenaries don't really like you bunch the Captain does business with your kind, however.

She's In the tent with the Blue Flag of a Griffon on top just further In the Camp can't miss It. Ok, thank's, soldier. Zora says then heads into the Camp But hears the 2nd Soldier talking to the others. Never seen such Armor before and that Symbol Is he from a Clan, what about that curved blade where do you reckon he Is from. Soldier 2 says. Who cares. Soldier 3 says not sure but he's not from anywhere around here that's for sure. The 4th soldier says. what difference does It make as a Mercenary he fights on the front line more Mercenaries mean we won't have to so his chances of dying Is greater says soldier 1.

Zora continues on his way towards the Captain's Tent. As he approaches the big tent with a blue flag with the Griffon. Zora can hear sound's of an argument Inside as It end's a Noble looking Soldier walks out the flap and look's at Zora then scoff's and walk's off. Zora shrug's and walk's Into the tent. Hello, I assume that you are the Captain correct Ma'am. The Captain looks up at Zora finishing the last details of her report. I am Captain Rayla of the 103rd Company of the Griesland Federation Empire I assume that you are here to sign a contract yes. Zora nods and thinks to himself for a short moment. (Griesland Federation Empire welp guess this confirms my suspicions now, wonderful damn Time Dilation Event real question Is now Is how much time has passed since I was working on Vint World to the Time I woke up recently.100 years 1 thousand year's I need to find out how much time has passed when I can.)

Zora look's at the contract that Captain Rayla gave and say's to the Captain. How about one of my contract's I don't plan on sticking around, But I am good at what I do. Captain Rayla sigh's If you want to be like that then go I have no need of Merc's who don't tend to stay around just then the Soldier by the tent flap Inside the tent speaks up. Captain Rayla with the Rebellion going on we could use all the help we can get even If this Mercenary only takes one small job.

Captain Rayla stares at her Guard then sigh's again, your right Sergeant Layla. The Captain turns her head and looks at me. Never did ask your name Merc. It's Zora Captain Rayla Ma'am. Ok Zora I do have a job for you about a week ago we contacted a nearby city to send supplies food water medical supplies and even some Healing Specialist Mage's none of them arrived we sent the letter via raven and even got a letter back 2 day's later saying our request was granted and supplies and personal was Inbound only thing Is they should've arrived 2day's later 3 day's If they encountered problems. Which I assume they have. But they didn't survive Zora says. Precisely my point Zora I know bandits aren't the cause nor wild animal's so please Investigate the matter kill whoever was responsible and save anyone you can and not in that order.

Zora then writes up a contract Including a price and passes It to the Captain. The Captain reads It closely and then sign It and gives Zora a map one detailing the Supply Caravan's route to the Camp and the City as well as a few Village's nearby. Good luck Zora with that In mind Zora takes the contract and leaves the tent. Zora then walks towards the supply routes path.

Excuse me, Zora, I need to talk to you. Zora turns around and Is looking straight at Sergeant Layla. Yes, what Is It, Sergeant? We won't survive very long everyone here In the camp I mean If we don't get those supplies. Layla steps forward and grab's Zora's hand and gives him a flare scroll. Please If you can recover those supplies or It won't matter when the rebel's come back we already have some men & women dieing or close to death from starvation and morale Is low so please Zora. Sergeant Layla gets on her knees before Zora. Look I was never asked to recover the supplies only to find out what happened and save anyone still alive and find out If the supplies are even there. Zora sighs then looks up to the sky which Is getting dark he thinks to himself (3 hours until nightfall maybe.)

Fine I will, but you owe me a favor Layla one I plan on collecting In the future question Is no matter what It may be will you still do It. Layla looks up at Zora then looks back down again. Yes I have been a soldier since I was very young these men and women here In this camp are the closest things I have to a family thank you Zora whenever you find the supplies use that scroll I'll be waiting for It, Myself and the 103rd Cavalry Unit 4th company have some makeshift carts made from wood to cart supplies from the other Camp's but they have similar Issues too.

Zora shrug's then head's toward's the supply route.1 hour passes by fast and soon Zora finds himself on a path surrounded by trees. Hmm, something's off here. Just as Zora says this out loud a large club over 20 feet long smack's right where he was standing, But Zora dodged it beforehand skidding to the left. UNCALLED FOR THANK YOU. A Cyclops around 40 feet tall stands before Zora. It roar's then out of nowhere a massive boulder the Size of a building is thrown and then land's where Zora was standing. This time Zora used Teleportation to land on top of a tree as he looks down at the first Cyclops who believes Zora Is dead another 40 foot tall Cyclops appears knocking down trees as he comes into view this Cyclops, however, sees the and Roar's louder than the first Cyclops just then another club this time 35 foott long smack's the tree Zora was standing on. But Zora jumps Into the sky. GODDAMMIT NOW LISTEN HERE U FAT GIANT BASTARD YOUR STARTING TO REALLY PISS ME OFF.

Just as Zora says this a 50foot tall Cyclops appears behind the tree he was standing on knocking It down. Zora unsheathes his blade and use's Blade whirlwind while in the sky aiming for the head of the 2nd Cyclops that appeared killing It and decapitating Instantly as Zora land's on the ground with a deafening thud Blood pour's down like rain all over. The other 2 remaining Cyclops become enraged and start's what can only be described as a hissy fit as they stomp on the ground and pound their chest's with one hand while still holding their club's.

Don't worry you will be joining him soon too Zora says while pointing his sword at them just as he does so the 1st Cyclops that appeared charges for Zora In a fit of rage. Zora use's Acceleration and slashes off Its leg's then dodges to the left as he falls to the ground just before It does Zora jump's Into the sky step's on the back of Its head and uses It to propel him toward's the 3rd Cyclops by doing so It slams the first Cyclops In the ground with a loud thud. But Zora launches an Ice Spear spell back at the first Cyclops toward's the back of Its skull before It landed on the ground killing It. Zora focuses on the last Cyclops by Aiming his blade straight for its eye and when the blade sink's deep Into the Cyclops eye. The Cyclops cries out In pain before dieing quickly as It's body land's on the ground with a loud thud.

Zora Is panting slightly. THAT WAS RUDE DAMNIT MAYBE NOW THE THREE OF YOU WILL LEARN SOME MANNER'S. Zora spit's at the third one's corpse which Is twitching slightly then Zora hears rustling In the wood's nearby. I swear If I get attacked one more time for no reason I am going turn on God mode and hunt your kind down to Extinction seriously. Zora think's to himself.

Just then 5 people emerge from the bushes and have look's of Astonishment on their face's as they stop 1 who Is dressed as a Mage approaches Zora. Did you do this? Zora wipe's his blade clean. Yes the rude bastard's came out of nowhere and ganged up on me I don't even know how they got the jump on me they are big as hell they didn't make a sound. The mage gulped. So they really were the Cyclops triplet's and you killed them all by yourself that Is amazing those particular Cyclops were a huge problem for years. They apparently were born with a Trait making It so their footsteps were silent, But no one really knows for sure It's simply a Theory at best.

The mage then runs at Zora and grab's his hand shaking It and Introducing himself. I am Rodwulf Ribe and you are. Zora, why are you out here. Oh right well I assume you are a Mercenary hired by Captain Rayla yes. Zora nods. As I expected well sorry to Inform you,But we are all that Is left of the caravan we managed to survive In a cave nearby Small enough for us to fit through, But not them,and the supplies we managed to save from this 3 bofo's too not all but a good vast amount Thank's to me. (I am assuming that bofo's Is the Grieseland way of saying bastard.)

Zora use's flare scroll and fire's It Into the air. Sergeant Layla will be here soon with carts and all Rodwulf. Ah, excellent we did manage to save a few people but we had to leave them behind at least now we won't have too.RodWulf then goes over to the other's who came with him and shortly after comes back alone the people who came with RodWulf leaving. (probably to get the other's and the supplies ready to move by the time Sergeant Layla Arrive's.)

Your a mighty rich man now Zora what do you plan on buying first hmm. Zora tilt's his head. What do you mean Rodwulf? Rodwulf look's stunned at Zora. Are you serious did you really fight these 3 bofo's without knowing they have Insanely high bounties on them.No I didn't I was minding my own business when these bastards came out of nowhere and started attacking me rude as all hell If you ask me Zora says? I see well make sure to harvest them every Monster has something Unique to them and they do as well for Cyclops It's usually their clubs they have a nasty tendency to collect part's of their victim's to coat It like Trophies turn those In to get your rewards at the Bounty office there Is one at Celine City how your going transport them though Is a different story altogether.

Zora walk's over to each of their club's and stashes them Into his Infinite Inventory. My god, you know Magic what sort of Magic was that RodWulf says his voice full of excitement. Zora hears Layla and her Soldier's arriving In the distance. It's a Special type of Inventory Magic a Trait really. Rodwulf begin's walking back and forth pacing. Remarkable only ever heard of such an Ability seeing It first hand Is much more different. RODWULF YOUR ALIVE. Layla arrives with her Soldier's and run's up to the young grizzly looking Mage bear hugging him tightly. Ah, Layla sorry to make you worry sweetheart. Just then Layla smack's Rodwulf so hard in the face he falls to the ground and Layla point's at him. Next time stay home Father I can take care of myself thank you.

Zora look's at Rodwulf and think's(father but he looks so young though mid-thirties probably maybe he Is a demi-human hiding his facial appearance or maybe Magic hmm)Zora uh I assume this Is your work Sergeant Layla says. Yup you can go on ahead back to camp I am going harvest these bastard's then head over. Layla nod's very well Layla glares at Rodwulf. All of Layla's men start speaking thing's like no way that merc killed those Cyclops or how some knew the Cyclops from wanted poster's. Layla look's at Rodwulf and says, take me to the remaining supplies and they head off.

Hmm, I sense drama haha Zora says out loud to himself as Sergeant Layla and Her men leave following Rodwulf. Zora then uses his Matter Skinning Skill and collect's all the Material's and store's It In the Inifite Inventory. I'll look at It later.1 hour passes by when Layla her father and the Soldier's all come back. Rodwulf says to himself remarkable to harvest them In under an hour. Layla glare's at Rodwulf then look's at Zora. Ready to go Zora. Zora nod's and everyone heads back to the camp 1 hour later. The Camp Is Silent It's night time the only Soldier's around are those on Gaurd duty. Zora and Layla go to meet the Captain as Layla's soldier's take care of the supplies and Rodwulf Tend's to the wounded.

Captain Rayla sigh's well not only did you kill who was a responsible god I still can't believe It was the Cyclops triplet's you also brought back Survivor's one of which being Rodwulf no less, you even brought back the supplies not all but still. Captain Rayla hand's Zora a badge of the 103rd company.Your payment as agreed Zora.Thank you, Captain(With this the local authorities In the Griesland Federation Empire shouldn't bother Zora unless they have evidence of a crime).Zora stand's up and walks to the tent flap when Captain Rayla speaks. Zora might I ask you to stay. Zora turn's to look at the Captain.No whatever It Is I am done here I have no further reason to stay Good luck to you Captain Rayla may we see each other again under better circumstances.

Zora then exit's the tent and walk's toward's Celine City according to the map. It takes about 4 day's to reach Celine City Zora arrives near the front gate. Jesus that was one of the longest walks I ever toke. Zora look 's around see's what appear's to be an office stand just outside of the city walls with a sign written on It. It says Bounty Collection office. Oh, I suppose the office being outside the wall's make sense for big ass thing's like these club's to be shown as proof of kills. Zora walks over to the stand. Hello anyone there I am here to collect a Bounty. A Woman With blue long silky looking hair and Blue jewel-like eye's and Blue skin appears. This one's name Is Noaw and who are you. The name Is Zora Ms.Noaw I have a. Noaw look's through a book on her left. There Is no known bounty hunter by the name of Zora please confirm. Zora Tilt's his head. Uh, yea probably because I never became a bounty hunter. Noaw then begins to write something Into the book which Zora assume's Is his name.

How may this one assist you Mr.Zora?I am here to collect a bounty. Very well which bounty Mr.Zora.The Triplet Cyclops. Very well please show the club's to prove your kill's Mr.Zora, however, be aware should they be fake you will be fined up to the equal amount that of which Is stated on their bounty. Which Is what exactly Ms.Noaw.Exactly 2500Gold per Head which equal's to the amount of 7500Gold for all three. Zora then turn's around and reaches Into the Infinity Inventory and drop's each club on the empty ground before him as each one drop's a loud thump sound Is made 3 time's making the merchant's traveler's and soldier's by the gate nearby Coming and going from the city look in Zora's direction If only for but a moment to see where the noise came from and what's going on.

Noaw walk's out of the stand and Inspects each club then turns to Zora. Will you allow this one to take these club's to be Inspected fully Mr.Zora and If so where might this one find you for payment or to fine you. Zora look's at Noaw for a moment. I understand will I get a receipt of sort's first though. And I'll just take a nap over by that tree on the hill. Zora point's to said tree. Noaw nod's and head's back Into the stand and write's a receipt.I'll be back shortly Mr.Zora.Zora nod's then head's over to the tree and gets down and lays up against It. Well, guess I'll take a quick nap now. Zora fall's asleep.

A few hour's pass and Zora Is woken up by Ms.Noaw.Zora stretches and yawn's and looks up at Ms.Noaw and sees In the top right corner of his hud time read's 11:00 am. Mr. Zora this one has been asked to tell you of a request by my Superior's. (Ah this again figure's.)Zora wave's his hand In a shove off kind of way. Not interested Ms.Noaw.I assumed as such Mr.Zora which Is why my Superior's wish to tell you If you simply listen to their request they will double your bounty. Zora raises his right eyebrow at Ms.Noaw.Just to simply hear their request correct.Ms.Noaw nod's.(hmm I could use the money we are talking 15,000 thousand gold.)

Very well lead the way Ms.Noaw.Zora stand's up and follows's behind Ms.Noaw Into a big building just next door to the bounty stand.Ms.Noaw open's the big twin door's revealing a lavishing looking Interior marble floor Murki Wood ceiling and a strange Red Silky like wall on both sides the room Is rather a very long hall wall. (look's are deceiving It seems.)As Zora and Noaw walk through the hallway Zora notice's many doors on both side's of the hallway each one very different one was made of marble another some form of glass another appear's to be made of a green silk style of sort's.30 minute's pass by until Noaw stop's In front of a large double Oak door then knock's on It three time's then enter's Zora follow's In behind her.

This one has brought the bounty hunter Zora before you. Noaw leave's the room and closes the big oak doors behind her. In the room Is a round oak table with 6 people present each one Introduce's themselves. I am the Bounty Hunter GuildMaster of Facel Grove Gracie(A Yari she's so cute.)(A Yari Is a bunny girl basically.)

She stands up and bow's toward's Zora the second one stand's up I am the Bounty hunter Guildmaster of the Xianex plain's Boras, He bows then take's his seat. (Boras huh look's like he's a Demi-Human Male Lion Interesting.)

The third one stand's up. I am the Bounty Hunter Guild Master of the free land's Hogia Valo(A dark Elf quite pretty too at that). Bow's then take's her seat.

The 4th one stand's up I am Gary Fletcher Bounty Hunter Guild master of Celine Tessa. He bows then sit's down. (Interesting this region I assume Is Celine Tessa then given the name of the city there must be a story behind it.)

The fifth one stand's I am Gloria Steinem Bounty Hunter Guild master of The Voch Wasteland's(A species of demon or maybe a demi-human species If so I didn't create them fascinating she has butterfly like wing's possibly a Vector maybe I'll need to find out more when I can). She bow's then take's her seat.

The final one stand's up at the other end of the table opposite where I am standing. And I am Vagnor Head Bounty Guild Master of the Bounty Hunter Association He bows then take's his seat. (A member of the Wolf clan cool.)

I am Zora. Zora bows. Vagnor speaks I am glad you toke our offer, Zora, I appreciate It I won't take much of your time. Indeed I am already aware of what you want to ask of me and the answer Is no. Gloria stand's up and slam's her fist's down on the table. How rude we didn't have time to tell you what we want to ask of you and you think you already know fool. Am I really a fool Gloria Steinem I know full well you wish me to join the Bounty Hunter Guild because I am powerful. Gloria bites her bottom lip and sits's back down. As I said I already know and I have no Intrest. I am fully aware Zora I assumed you would be the loner type which Is why I want to hire you Instead for your service's Vagnor say's.

I assume you know about me from Captain Rayla correct. Vagnor nod's.Information Is a priority for us we have to keep track of dangerous monster's Sure the Adventurer's Guild does the same kind of work and all. But we offer contracts on monster's they can't deal with or are difficult to find and with much better rewards. Vagnor clap's his hand's and another being like Noaw appears from the wall behind him. This one has green silky looking hair with Green like jewel's for eye's and green skin(Some kind of sapient bug species don't remember ever creating such a race though amazing this world has developed entire species that of which I had no Involvement In Evolution Is a hell of a thing.)

How may this one assist you Mr.Vagnor?First get Zora's money than a slip of paper for him to write a contract between myself and him. She nods and leave's then returns shortly a few minutes later. She then walks around the table and approaches me and bows. This one's name is Waou. She hand's me a bag full of gold which I take and place's a piece of paper down on the table In front of me. Zora takes the bag of gold and put's It Into the Infinity Inventory as he does the Guildmaster's mutter and speak In whisper's with one other. Zora begins to write on the piece of paper listing what he will be willing to do when and his price after finishing he hand's the piece of paper to Waou. Whom depart's right away and brings It to Vagnor who Exam's It then signs his signature.

What did you agree to Vagnor? Boras says In a deep voice. It's quite simple really Zora will deal with any really dangerous monster's that appear In return we will pay him an amount of 20 gold per month. Interesting and what of the current ones that are very difficult to deal with Gracie said. Zora hold's his hand up. That part isn't my problem, however, should I encounter them during my travel's I'll deal with them regardless. The Bounty Hunter Guildmaster's all nod their head's Hogia say's. Better than nothing I'd say. Boras says. Indeed besides gives, other's a chance at the current dangerous monster's one was killed by one of my member's. But he's very badly injured and he wants revenge for his fallen comrades of course. If that's It I'll be leaving now. Very well Zora glad to have your assistance however small It may be.

The big Oak door's open and Noaw bow's.Right, this way Mr.Zora.Zora follows behind Noaw back out as they leave Zora notices the hallway is completely different the hallway Has marble and wood flooring and the ceiling is. Wow, that's amazing as Zora looks up at the ceiling he sees a vast ocean many types of fish past by. 30 Minute's pass by again and Zora and Noaw exit the building Ms.Noaw Bow's. Pleasure doing business Mr.Zora may this one see you again whenever that may be. Zora nod's and walk's toward's the Gate nearby to enter the town. As he walks toward's the Gate's the Guard Captain stop's him. Never seen such a weapon before letting alone Armor like that my good Sir what's your business In Celine City. Zora takes out the badge given to him by Captain Rayla and show's It to him. The Guard Captain takes It In his hand's. Hmm, 103rd huh I know Captain Rayla served In some battle's together real question Is though is this real or not and I'll know. He looks at the back of the badge. Hmm, everything checks out have a good day Sir sorry to bother you. How do you know It's not a fake. The Guard Captain shake's his head.103rd Trade secret you may have received It from an Officer from the 103rd or Even Captain Rayla herself. But the fact they didn't tell you prove's you have haven't earned that Officer's trust fully. Do say hi to Captain Rayla for me If you see her again sir. Zora nod's his head and walks through the gate.

THE DEMON OF GREENSLADE CHAPTER 1 PART 2

As Zora walk's through Celine City through the crowded street's Zora look's at the various store's and stall's.(First thing to do Is find a tavern so I can get some direction's need a place to call home for the time being set up shop and what not.)A child walk's up to Zora and says's. Hey mister can I hire you to be my bodyguard? Zora look's down at the child a young dark-skinned girl around the age of 8 possibly Zora thinks. She has long red hair That's messy and wear's Green noble looking clothes and a black jacket over It her eyes are red Devoid of emotions.

Zora kneels down. And why do you need a bodyguard little miss? Some really strong people are after me I can pay you, mister. She takes out a handful of rings with Jade gems in them. Zora takes them and puts's It In his pocket. Very well kiddo I'll protect you. Zora grabs her and place's her on his shoulder's. Cooooool she says. Let's go now, by the way, kiddo my name Is Zora and your's Is. Selina my name Is Selina. Well, It's a pleasure to meet you, Selina. Now let's go. Where we going, Zora. A tavern I need Information on who to talk to about buying a home. I know a place Zora It's run by Tim and John my family went there once a few years ago.

Lead the way. Selina point's toward's the direction I should go so I begin walking that way straight ahead It seems after a while of walking. Take a left here Zora. Zora turn's and walk's down the left street leaving the crowds. As Zora walk's down the street he notices It's a residential area only a few businesses. So what happened to your family Selina If you don't mind me asking.I...… don't wanna talk about them, Zora. She look's down. Zora use's His Trait Analyst and a screen appear's Info about Selina Age date of birth like's and dislike's first thing Zora notices Is her Level. (Good god she's level 80 how though hmm I can think of a few way's none of them good though. Holy shit she also has a bounty of 50,000gold on her head, Jesus, what did I get myself Into.)Her age Is 9 and a half year's old I was close It Seem's. And her birthplace Is a City called Corvis In the GreenSlade Empire. Like's and dislike's are blacken. (Must be because we just met make's sense.)

Zora sighs. Well, I won't ask again until your ready to Selina. Thank's Zora oooh there It Is. Selina point's to the building on the left. Ok, Zora picks her up and set's her down on the ground and holds her hand as they enter the store. Welcome Welcome to Tim and John's Real estate how can we help you good sir I am Tim. Oh, Selina Is that you dear. Selina hides behind Zora's legs. No, she's my daughter Yuzo. My apologies she just reminded me of someone I know thank goodness It Isn't little Selina we would have to turn her Into the guard's poor thing. Why Is that If I may Inquire. I heard she murdered her whole family she's from a noble family In the Empire of GreenSlade she even killed several bounty hunters and guard's last I heard she escaped from GreenSlade Authorities and no one has seen her since. (That explain's her high bounty.)But enough about that we have plenty of homes and land for sale Mr...  Oh right I am Zora sorry should've Introduced myself.No It's perfectly fine Sir let me show you what we have an available Mr.Zora.

Tim lead's Zora and Yuzo to a nice looking room and everyone sit's down around a table. What Is the most your willing to spend Mr.Zora?Hmm, about 200 to 500 Gold(One gold coin Is basically 10 thousand U.S money)I see then Tim goes to a nearby bookshelf and takes a book out and open's It and set's It down on the table. Please go ahead and have a look let me know If any catch your eye Mr.Zora.Zora nod's and look's through the book many of the buildings are Mansion's or really tall house's with lot's of floor's and very large Estate's that a Noble would live In. When Zora turned the page for the 5th time He looks satisfied. I like this one. Zora turn's the book over to Tim. Ah, very good choice Mr.Zora we can go see It now If you like. Yes, please.

As Tim Zora And Yuzo leave the store just as they leave Tim says. I'll be back in a few hours' John and closes the door. Right, this way Zora. Zora look's up at the Sky. (What am I going do I should start planning ahead If people are going come after Selina.)Zora, Tim, and Yuzo walk out of Celine City through the main gate and head south until a small sized wall come's Into view with a big 3Story sized house. Impressive Isn't It Tim says. Indeed what happened to the previous owner. Ahhhh killed by pirate's I heard not sure though was sold to us by some soldiers. Tim shrug's his shoulder's. As we made our way through the Estate's Gates. (Really nice place plenty of room secluded just the way I like It.)

As the three of them entered the Estate a large room Is presented one that could hold a big party or a ball. Wow, quite the main hall Zora says. Indeed It Is Mr.Zora.30 minute's pass by as the Three of them go to each room and take a look around once back at the office In Celine City 2 hour's later. Zora pay's for the Estate which cost's 500 gold and Zora receives the key's and the land ownership paperwork To prove he Is the owner of the Estate for whatever reason.

As Zora and Yuzo head back out In the street's and walk back toward's the Market Square Selina asks. So what now Zora. Zora grab's the hilt of his Katana. Make new Weapons and Armor you know of any place to stock up on Materials for BlackSmithing.Hmmm, I don't know Zora maybe try the Adventure's Guild make a request. Hmmm, good Idea Selina. Zora pat's her head softly and she smiles. Let me ride your shoulder again Zora It was so much fun earlier. Sure thing kiddo. Zora pick's Selina up and She sits on the back of his head holding It and swinging her leg's back and forth. ONWARD'S FAITHFUL STEAD.As you command Milady. Zora chuckle's and Selina Giggle's as they start walking again finally reaching the market square.

So Selina where Is the Adventure's Guild. Selina point's Toward's the Nothern part of Celine City. In the military district, Zora most Adventurer Guild's are there. Hmm, how come. I think It has to do with If monster's attack the city or something I don't know sorry Zora. It's ok Selina. Zora Walk's off toward's the Northen District of Celine city. (Quite the change Barrack's a lot of Barrack's a few Tavern's and Blacksmith stores seems private though and a lot of training ground's one hell of a military District pretty sure all the soldier's and their families live here too.)

As Zora and Selina walk through the Military District Zora See's Sergeant Layla.Hey Layla. Zora didn't expect to see you. Likewise, why are you here? Delivering a Report In person Captain Rayla order It by done In person as It was one Huge shit show lost so many. But It would have been worse If you didn't recover those supplies thank you for everything Zora.No problem, by the way, remember that favor you owe me I am collecting now If you don't mind. Sergeant Layla's Body tense's up. (No way so soon please don't let It be anything horrible Zora Layla think's to herself.)Very well I am a woman of my word so what Is It, Zora. I want you to escort me to the Adventurer's Guild. Sergeant Layla tilt's her head. Seriously well ok right this way Zora. (And here I was worrying Zora was going ask me for my body or ask me to kill someone or commit a crime. But this Sergeant Layla Say's to herself.)

Sergeant Layla lead's Zora to the Adventurer's Guild.By the way who's the child, Zora. This Is Yuzo she hired me to be her bodyguard. (Huh, that's strange why would a child need a bodyguard Is It possible Is she no It's just a rumor surely.)Zora, Yuzo, and Layla stand In front of a big 4story building the shape of an H If you were to view It from the Sky. Well, here we are, Zora. Thank you, Sergeant Layla, much appreciated. We are even now correct Zora. Zora nod's his head. Great well see you around Sergeant Layla say's. Zora wave's as Layla leaves. Zora walk's Into the Adventurer's Guild. (Lot's of Adventurer's It seems of all kind's.)Zora Walk's over to the main desk. Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild I am Gill how can I help you. Yes, I am Zora and I am here to make a request. Gill goes under the desk and grabs a form. Please fill out the form Include what the request Is and the price as well as what rank Adventurers you want for the job understand that depending on what rank Adventurers you specifically ask for will Increase a commission fee.

Zora writes down everything asking for monster materials metal's and alchemy ingredient's reward 1 gold per Item 25 Gold per Rare material, metal and alchemy ingredient's and circles any rank Adventurer's and hand's the form back. Gill looks shocked. But nods. We will have your request posted right way Sir have a good day.No commission fee.No Mr.Zora as you didn't request for a certain rank of Adventurers for your request. Ah makes sense thank you.No Problem Mr.Zora have a good day. As I leave I notice my request being put up on the request board and a bunch of Adventurer's take a look. Where to now Zora. Selina says. Back home. (I am sure I can gather the necessary supplies to make an anvil and a forge.)

As Zora approaches the door's to leave the Door's open and a tall red-haired Mohawk looking Adventurer enter's and stare's at Zora. Hey, you wouldn't happen to be Zora would you? What If I am. Selina just stares at him. Cause I want a word with him.The stranger walk's closer to Zora.From what I hear you fit the description pal. Zora nods. Yes, I am Zora what do you want. The stranger step's back. Come now don't be so cold Zora I only wanted to tell you thank's oh my name Is Willie Rodgers. Thank me for what exactly though Mr.Rodgers.Please, Willie Is fine man and because those damn Cyclops killed my little brother and his friend's during a request to protect a merchant from Vulcan City to Celine City last year. I see I am sorry for your lost Willie. Willie turn's around and throw's his fist in the air his eye's sparkling.

I ain't sad my little brother went out like a man his friends were killed first. But he managed to hold his ground against them long enough for the merchant to get away. Hell, the merchant was so grateful he still paided them by paying the families Including mine a rare thing to see In merchants. But still, I wasn't able to avenge them. But you did Zora If there's anything I can do for you just ask man I'll be happy to help. Hmmm, In that case, can you get your hands on an Anvil and a forge for me as well as tools for blacksmithing. Hell yes, I can Zora my Dad owns several mines and my Mom Is the best local blacksmith In Celine City well one of the more famous one's Haha. Zora clap's Willie on the shoulder. Thank's much appreciated My place Is outside on the outskirts of the city Southside of the main gate. Sound's good man again thanks. Zora nod's and leave's the building Selina following behind.

Thought for a moment he was going be a problem Zora Selina says. Same looks can be deceiving as the saying goes. Selina look's down In thought. As the two head home.As they enter the Estate's gate and head inside Zora head's to the second floor and show's Selina her room.No you are my Bodyguard Zora I shouldn't sleep alone. Fine Zora says. They both head to the Master Bedroom. You get the bed I'll sleep on the couch. Are you sure Zora we can sleep In the bed together? Yes, I am sure Selina the couch In the room Is fine I ain't picky. Ok goodnight Zora. Selina gets In the bed and under the cover's as I walk over and lay down on the couch. Goodnight Selina.

THE ONKA APPEARS CHAPTER 1 PART 3

A notification window pop's up waking up Zora. Zora open's his eye's and Is met with his HUD and a window with a notification stating someone has broken Into your home. (Oh right I did design a system to notify people If other players broke into their home's stealing was a thing which made bank's very necessary to have to store precious Item's at safely or hire another player to protect their home. Oh, right intruder.)Zora look's around and see's someone walking toward's Selina. In an Instant, Zora Is then standing In front of the Intruder hand over the hilt of his Katana. So what do we have here Zora say's? Hmm so the rumor's about you being very skilled and dangerous Is true It seems. The hooded female says behind her mask be warned It doesn't matter how skilled you are that child Is a demon and can kill you very easily whenever she pleases. And I should care why exactly. Hmph, I warned you fool at least now I know It really Is her. Just as she says this she disappears.

What. Zora look's around and sense's no one nearby. (The Hell happened.)Selina grabs Zora and holds's his waist from behind while sitting on the bed. So It doesn't matter to you If what she said Is true Zora. Hmph, so you heard everything huh. I knew she was there I was going to…..Zora cut's her off. Your not a demon Selina. You don't know everything, Zora. I still don't care though. Zora flick's Selina In the forehead. People fear the unknown People simply don't know you. Selina one day you will have friend's and family who will die for you despite anything you do and everything you have done. Selina look's up at Zora then look's away. I don't know your an Idiot for thinking so Zora I bring death everywhere I go and that will never change. Is that so Selina we will see. Selina tilt's her head to the side. (What does Zora mean by that huh.)

Nevermind anyway go back to sleep Selina. Zora I don't want to be called that anymore I like the name you called me before back at Tim's. You want me to start calling you Yuzo from now on huh. Yuzo nods. Very well then Yuzo. Yuzo smiles thank you Zora.No problem Yuzo I don't mind calling you a different name.No not for that although It does make me happy no for not bringing up what Tim said. Ah that Zora pat's Yuzo's Head softly and hold's her closely hugging her. I don't know what happened Yuzo I won't act like I understand or act like I know what you went through to make you do what you did and how, But I truly believe that you did It In self-defense and they deserved It what matters Is what you do from now on don't let your past be your future. Yuzo begin's crying in Zora's chest. Your the only person who sees me as a person and not some kind of monster she mutters while crying I rub her head softly comforting her until she Is done afterward's.Yuzo and Zora go back to sleep until morning.

Yuzo wake's up yawns and stretches. What's that smell. Yuzo look's around and doesn't see Zora she climbs out of bed and leaves the room Into the long hallway following the smell It takes Yuzo downstair's and to the first room on the right when she open's the door It's the dining room and there Is food on the table. Just as Yuzo comes In so does Zora from the back where the stoves are.

Ah, good morning sleepy head I decided to make breakfast help yourself. I never had breakfast before nor so much food thank you, Zora. Don't mention It go on. Yuzo sit's down and begin's eating her meal which Is bacon strips an eggs with orange juice. Yuzo look's at Zora's food which Is a Cheese Pizza. In the middle of both of them eating, Yuzo asks. What kind of food Is that Zora I never seen It or ever read about It. Ah yes, It's a meal from my homeland quite famous and very delicious mainly a dish for lunch or dinner, not breakfast. But I say those people that state that. Are Evil and do not understand the greatness that Is Pizza.

Zora says the ending with one finger pointed In the air and said It In a very silly manner.HAHA.Yuzo burst's out laughing. What I am being serious Pizza Is my favorite food like hell I won't eat It In the mornings. Yuzo calm's down and they both finish their meal's. So what are we going to do about our mystery friend from last night? She's probably one of the 7 Onka Warrior's of my country GreenSlade.Huh, Zora tilt's his head. They are basically Assassin's well skilled very dangerous If one Is hunting me they all will be soon. What I don't understand Is why was she alone the stories of the Onka were alway's them fighting together.

Hmm, Mysterious Indeed Yuzo But. To send them after you though you must have done way more then what Tim. At this Yuzo, Slam's her fist's onto the table. Tim doesn't know shit, Zora. True I was simply stating nothing more Yuzo. Yuzo look's down. I am sorry I...It's ok besides She acted as If she fought you before. Yuzo perk's up eyes In shock. Not possible If I did I don't think I could have won let alone live.Interesting well whatever the case may be we have quite the day planned. Zora says as he stands up. Yuzo stand's up too. Both had finished their meal's. What are we doing today Zora? Just as Yuzo says this knocking can be heard From the front door. Ah, they must be here. Zora walk's out of the dining room heading to the front door to answer. (Huh who could that be Yuzo think's to herself.)

Yuzo follow's Zora as he open's the door. Hello, are you Mr.Zora an Adventurer ask's. His three comrade's staying silent. Indeed I am I assume this Is about my Request. Yes, Sir where do you want The material's Metal's and alchemy Ingredient's I brought Sir. The hallway on the right second door on the Left. The leader of the group Signal's his comrade's to bring It there. How much did you bring in total?685 plus 15 Rare Metals. Zora walk's over to a desk and takes's out 1,060 gold coin's put's It Into a smaller pouch then walk's back to the Adventurer and hand's It to him.1,060 gold coin's as stated. Thank you Mr.Zora.After about 5 minutes the Adventurer's leave.

Great now I got something to work with Now just gotta wait for Willie. I don't like him Yuzo says he seems fishy. Haha, perhaps Yuzo perhaps anyway tell me about yourself anything at all. Just as Zora says this someone knock's on the door again. Huh, already Zora says to himself out loud. Yuzo just stares watching as Zora answer's the door. On the other side Is Ms.Waou.Greeting's Mr.Zora This one was sent By Vagnor. Zora crosses his arm's. Already really. Yuzo tilt's her and says's. why Is there a Chalo Naun outside of Its tree won't you die from exposure.

Ms.Waou replies. This one Is able to survive for a few hour's outsides of my habitat your knowledge of my kind Is Interesting. (Ok now I know I didn't create your kind and tree exposure habitat what Is going on here.)Anyway sorry to cut your conversation together short. But What do you want Ms.Waou?My apologies Mr.Zora But Mr.Vagnor Is planning on the whole BHG to work together and take down a hive of Astervi. (Now that race I know, well more like monster's many different variants's and type's, however, suppose to be like Giant bug's like spider's, Ant's, Mantises, Flies and bee's, mosquitoes, and some mutated kinds of bug's I made they are kinda like an Ant hive Kinda monster maze lair. But because of the variance's some are much bigger then the average Insect and far more dangerous plus their hives act like mini dungeon's.)

What about It. Mr. Vagnor simply wanted me to Inform you If you would like to participate. Hell yes, Zora says. Good, then we shall. Before Ms.Waou can finish Zora says. Hell no I was using Sarcasm I have other thing's to do. Yuzo Is just Staring and watching.Ms.Waou Tilt's her head. I am confused I don't know what this Sarcasm Is you speak of Mr.Zora.(Seriously that's rich.)In short, IT'S an Ironic way of mocking people. I see are you using Sarcasm now. Uh no Waou I am not. I see I am sad to hear this, But I shall nonetheless Inform Vagnor. As Waou begins to leave Zora speaks up. Look I do plan on some thing's Waou that may assist them In Vagnor's Extermination. However, It would require them to postpone their hunt If he wants to know the detail's tell him to come visit me here tomorrow I'll be too busy today tell him to bring those that I met too those places are extremely dangerous.

Ms.Waou Bows. This one Is grateful and yes they are Indeed extremely dangerous place's. This one will Inform Vagnor right away. Before you go Waou I have a question which Is why does the BHG deal with this sort of thing and not the Adventurer's Guild. That Is because my home where you first met Vagnor It was one of the agreements made with the Great tree. Zora tilt's his head. But It looked like a normal building. Indeed on the outside. The Great Tree has his root's stretched across much of the world. (OOHHHHH SO like the story of the Great World Tree strange though I don't recall adding something like that Into my game though

VintWorldOnline is it possible this is a completely different world but built on the foundation of my game hmm.)

Alright well, I should get back to work Ms.Waou.This one shall depart then. As Waou leaves Another person comes In while Waou Exchanges place's as she holds the door open. Hey, Zora what's up, man. Ah, Willie, you got what I asked for. Damn straight I did. Hurry The fuck up you Idiot's I could carry that stuff myself, you weaklings. Two men come Inside right behind Willie carrying an Anvil and a crate of supplies to make a forge. Just so you know Zora The forge Is. Basic Yes I am well aware Willie that's fine. Ok good to hear where you setting shop at. Zora point's to the right Hallway by the staircase. Second door on the right. You heard him boy's move It. As the two men and Willie walk-off, Yuzo says. Hmm, I wanna read. You know where the library Is. I wanna read the book's from your country though Zora. (But I don't have any only book's that I Implemented while creating VintWorldOnline like Lore and bestiaries and strategy book's as well as myth Like book's a few comic books just for fun.)

Well If you say so Yuzo go ahead and head to the library and I'll bring some shortly. Yay Yuzo runs up to the stair's and down the left Hallway Toward's the library. Zora spawn's a few books with his developer tools. (I hope she doesn't find them boring 3 Is fine for now still I wonder what happened to all the book's I spawned for the game world many a mystery to solve It would seem.)Zora begins walking toward's the stair's as Willie comes out of the room from earlier and back Into the main hall. Alright, Zora all done man anything else I can help you with. Yea actually I am expecting shipment's from Adventurer's In term's of material's metal's alchemy Ingredient's and so forth could you wait by the gate Invite them In write down what they brought me then ask them to wait here in the main hall and I'll be back shortly and with their payment's.

Sound's good I'll have my boy's here help put everything where It need's to be the same place I assume. Yes, Willie except for the alchemy ingredients and materials they can go to the room across It. Gotcha man I don't expect a lot of Adventurer's coming though then again that request you made Is bad for you.But good for them why are you paying them so much. Hmph, I don't need to explain It to you, Willie. Ok, Ok man, I get It haha. Zora walk's up to the stair's and to the left heading toward's the library when Zora enters Yuzo Is reading a book. Whatcha reading kiddo. Hmm oh, just swordsmanship kind of stuff really boring But I haven't read this one yet so eh. Well here you go as requested sadly I didn't bring a lot with me so.No no that's ok Zora I am just happy to read something new and from your Country no less. (Except my country doesn't exist, to begin with In this world ahhhh at least It's a good cover background story for me.)

Zora put's the book's down on the desk In front of Yuzo. Will you be ok here alone for a while. Yea I'll be fine Zora I can handle myself as you said before look's are deceiving She looks up at Zora and grins. Ok, the first sign of danger you come to my side though ok I take my job seriously mind you I'll be downstair's. Hmm, that's good to hear Zora and ok. Yuzo begins reading the first book labeled Guerilla tactics and Warfare. Zora leave's and head's back to the main hall when Willie comes running colliding Into Zora. Ow Damnit man.Sorry, Zora. But dude just as you left 5 Adventurer parties showed up with several wagons full of supplies from each group, dude they are well-known Adventurer's groups. (Haha perfect my plan worked.)Did you handle the task though Willie? Yea of course dude I was a just shocked man came to get you as soon as possible can you really pay for all that supplies though. Yes actually.

Willie hand's Zora a piece of paper listing the Adventurer's leader's name of each group with how much supplies they brought Zora reads It fast while coming Into view of the Adventurer's who assembled In the main hall. First Group appears to be a human male clearly the leader while the other 4 are slave's Demi Human's with the collar's on their neck's. (Disgusting Bastard they look like they are being starved and abused and very often on both account's by the look's of It.)

The Second group appears to be monks. (Hindu monk warrior's hmm nah must be a different religion of monk warrior's.)

The Third group is all human's two of them are Mage's the other Two appear to be of a warrior class more like one Is the Berserker and, The other Is a Paladin definitely a Paladin the last Is an Archer.

The fourth group appear to all be Elf's Dark elf's actually all of them are archer's.

The last group looks like they are all Dark Knight's or at least appear to be, one of them doesn't have their helmet on a female with pink short hair She speaks when she sees Zora.About damn time. I apologize for the delay It was rude and as such I will pay you all a bonus fee. The Pink hair female smile's and Immediately look's less annoyed. The other Adventurer's look at each other In their respected group's.Except for the one who owns the slave's he simply grin's. First of all though before payment I would like to Introduce myself formally I am Zora. Zora bow's down with one hand over his chest and his other hand behind his back.

The man who owns the slave's speak's up first. I am Brodnack Leader of Gasalt well haha not like I have other member's In my team. (For some reason the other Adventurer's don't seem to care about him the Elves clearly have look's of disgust though It seems they can't hide It.)

The second group leader a monk In his 60's maybe 50's he is dark skinned and he has black hair in a crew cut kinda way. I am Tabul Vencolza he Bow's his head lightly.

The Third group leader The Paladin Kneel's down for a moment announcing his name then stands back up. I am Tristan Algora Leader Of the Silver foxes.

The 4th group leader a male dark Elf bow's In the way Zora just did. I am Cal Uxfin Leader Of the Shadow Crow's.

And the last group's leader doesn't do anything special. The pink haired female speak's.And I am Valendro Cassandra.

Glad to meet you all. Zora takes out several coin pouches out of an end table nearby. (Each of these filled with different amounts after reading the paper Willie gave me. The first group gets 2500 with the bonus the second group gets 2850 the 3rd group gets 2000 and the 4th group gets 1500 and the last group gets 3000.)Zora hand's each group the following pouches filled with gold coin's. Bonus Is Included I hope to do business with you all again In the future. All the Adventurer's nod their head's some count their money and leave.

Valendro may I have a word with you before you leave. She stops by the doorway same as her Knight's they are the only group left all the other's left first she stands and crosses her arm's. I have a job for you If you're interested you will be paided of course. She smiles upon hearing this. What's the job and how much does It pay. Payment Will be Magic Item's Zora point's to her. Specifically speaking where I am from I am a Master blacksmith And Enchater I can make a full duplicate of you and your knight's Armor and Weapon's guaranteed to be vastly superior to your current set with Enchant's several on each piece of equipment too. Both Willie and Cassandra look's shocked. Willie speaks That isn't possible though Zora no one can do that let alone make an entire exacting copy of a suit of armor to the exact detail. Zora shrugs.

It's as Willie says If by any chance I make a mistake then I'll pay you and your men 10 thousand gold each. Cassandra lick's her lip's hearing this and all her men are acting excited. Deal what's the job, Zora. The BHG are going be Exterminating an Astervi Nest I want you to go with them simple. Very well then I and my men In the meantime will provide security for your Estate Zora I trust that won't be a problem. Not at all there are room's in the hallway to the left make yourselves at home you may be here awhile feel free to take any job's In the meantime that won't take you very far or long to complete If you wish as the BHG will be taking about a week to prepare more or less I'll have your armor done though beforehand. As the best way to prove It's superior Is through a trial by fire.

Cassandra nod's and walk's off outside with her men In tow. (Ahhh well time to get to work.)Willie and his boys say their farewell's and leave. Zora retreat's to his new blacksmith room and begins's Analysis of the metals and materials. Wow, that's a lot Zora say's as he stares at all the crate's filled with metals and materials. (Maybe too much my plan was to make the request bad for me good for Adventurer's In order to get stocked up on Resource's for BlackSmithing But damn they must have gone out and bought metal's and what not at store's that cost silver probably knowing that It's going come back two-fold thus making them easy profit.)

Alright well, let's first make myself a new sword. Zora grab's a strange blue tinted meteor-like rock And examine's It a pop up appear's on his hud displaying the metal's name and Information.BlueShaire Rare Metal possess great conductive abilities. Huh cool since it's rare I'll make this my new katana. Zora Quickly goes to work. But after 2 minute's of bashing the metal with a hammer It glows then turn's into a long Katana the Sharp side of the blade Is a bright blue color. But it quickly fades becoming dark blue the rest of the blade Is black, however. Wow, I didn't expect this to finish so soon but ok.

(I suppose the game mechanics still applies to me no one else though I assume this alone Is such a cheat but whatever I don't care.)Zora walk's over to the crate's and a Rare material catches his eye and he examines it. Durgios Wood. This wood Is generally used by elves and can't take extreme punishment requires a skilled craftsman. (Interesting must have been from the Elf group must have thought I couldn't do anything with It Interesting so they tried to rip me off haha joke's on them but whatever.)

Zora then makes a hilt using the wood and a long sheath to go with it. Ah, beautiful.Zora In-cases his new Katana In the sheath.Alrighty now for my new Armor set. Zora grabs a pure black looking metal from the crate's and examine's it. A pop up appeared like before. Black Zorgathian Metal a metal extracted from an Inactive volcano Its pure black radiance Is used mostly in weapon's or armor to counter magic-based attack's very rare metal.Hmm, Interesting wonder how they got It oh well should be enough of this to make a new set of Samurai Armor. After a few minutes, A pure black Samurai, armor set Is before Zora. Wow, that look's awesome. Zora quickly changes into his new armor. Perfect alright time to make Cassandra and her men her armor and weapons and most everything else. A few hour's passes as Zora exit's the smithy room.

Ahhhhhhhhh I believe that's enough for today. Zora hold's two Longbows and a few quivers with arrows In them. Alright, what time Is It? Late a voice comes from behind Zora. Startled Zora turn's around to see Yuzo with her arm's crossed. Zora stratches the back of his head. Hehe Sorry I lost track of time. Fine, In any event, Zora we should go to bed. U go ahead I'll be there shortly.Ok.Yuzo goes off to the Master Bedroom as Zora follow's. But stop's In the main hallway and put's the bows and quivers by the door then head's off to the Master Bedroom.

As Zora Is lying down on the couch he opens his character screen. Hmm leveled up 20 time's must be because of those Cyclops. Zora goes to Skill's and Acquire's Archery at the cost of double Skill point's. Damn no more Skill point's oh well Zora think's to himself then Goes to Attribute's and Zora add's 25 point's to Dexterity. Ahhh that's It for now tonight.

The following day Yuzo wake's up and head's to the kitchen to find Cassandra and her men all at the table eating and Yuzo see's an empty spot for her. Good morning sleepy head we got quite the day ahead of us. Yuzo sits down and nod's and start's eating. Zora sit's down next to her and start's eating Pizza. Yuzo stop's and look's at Zora. Not going to eat something Different today. Zora gasp's with a look of horror. One day Yuzo you will understand the greatest that Is pizza. Then give me a piece. Neverrrrrrrr Zora cover's the pizza with his arm then smiles maybe some other time Zora laugh's while Yuzo just pouts and return's to eating her meal which is cereal with marshmallows.

Everyone else Is eating meat stew of some kind with white stuff. Your staring I don't like It. Cassandra says to Yuzo. Sorry was just curious what your eating Is all. Hmm, Zora called It rice with meat sushi supposedly It gives a lot of carbs he says which can make myself and my men last longer In combat. Indeed Carbs equal energy but eating too much result's in fat so yea for people In your line of work that Isn't an Issue of how much you Intake, In any event, you probably require more due to your work a lot of factors to consider and all Zora states.

Hmm, whatever you say Zora all I care about Is the fact It's free and delicious. Zora shrug's and finishes his meal when a knocking sound can be heard. Well, that must be them, Cassandra, you and your men should finish up and wear the new armor and weapons. Can't wait to try the new toy's Cassandra says and all her men chuckle. In our line of work better equipment Is worth More then It's fair share In gold It'll allow us to take bigger and better contracts and the like. I promise you won't be disappointed. Zora stand's up and head's to the main hall to answer the door Yuzo quickly finishes leaving the bowl and spoon on the table and follow's Zora. Zora open's the door.

Greetings Are you, Zora.A tall Red creature similar to Waou and Noaw.Just like them, this one Is red though with red silky hair, and Red skin, and red jewel-like eyes. Yes, and who are you. This one Is called Raow I have with me Vagnor and the others. Come In. So what Is It you wanted to talk about Zora? I have recently made some weapons and armor of many kinds currently for sale. Hogia step's forward. Seriously you wasted our time over this Zora. She crosses her arm's and scoffs. I promise you Ms.Hogia my Armor and Weapons are second to none with my equipment I can guarantee your Extermination mission can be completed with almost Zero casualties. Everyone look's shocked and wide-eyed except for Raow and Yuzo who seem to have expressionless face's. Is that right Zora Vagnor says he puts his right hand to his chin and think's? We will need proof of course.

Cassandra here can vouch for my equipment, can't you? Cassandra walk's In tow With her Knight's. That remain's to be seen Cassandra says. Haha ok, I understand In any Event Cassandra and her Knight's are wearing the Armor and Weapon's I made the best way to prove my Equipment Is better Is by having a friendly match what do you say Vagnor.Vagnor Rub's chin. Very well what are the rulers of the match? Cassandra versus all of you at once she wins If she breaks your weapon or cut's your Armor or leaves a crack on your armor same rules apply to her break her weapon or crack the Armor for you to win. Cassandra Grin's careful Zora you know your way around a women's heart. Haha, I just know your type Is All Cassandra I know you won't pass up a good battle. You know me so well without me telling you anything about me how frightening Cassandra laugh's.

Vagnor speaks up. Very well where shall we fight then? Follow me Zora Say's and everyone does. Zora lead's the group outside In the back In an open field Zora point's to the right Cassandra over there everyone else opposite of her. Yuzo stand's beside Zora with an Interesting look on her face and Raow Simply stares and watches what's going on. Everyone gets ready for the match. Hmm, why is your Knight's not with you? Cassandra's Knight's speak Ordered not to Interfere. Hmm ok, then Vagnor says.

Let the match begin Zora says. Cassandra Wield's a large 2 Handed Iron blade and charges straight for Vagnor whom Deflect's It with his shield but the weight and overall power of Cassandra's attack dent's the shield pretty hard before she can continue her attack Boros charges at her left flank slamming his 2 Handed large axes down on her but she dodges and the axes land's Into the ground Hogia Launches several arrows's from her bow as she glides In the sky but Cassandra dodges some and deflects the arrow's with her sword but a few still hit her but none of Hogia's attack's look like they did anything.

As both Vagnor and Boras charge at Cassandra who Is ready for the attack and take's a stance like she Is about to stop a bull with her blade. But still, keeps getting hit with arrow's from Hogia In the air. Gary Appear's behind Cassandra stabbing her In the back But the Armor doesn't crack or dent before Gary can retreat Cassandra Swiftly turns around and grabs Gary In the face with one hand and pull's him close to her. Hey, how you doing I have a quick question for you can you fly. Gary Mumble's a No. Let's find out. Cassandra Grin's evil like and throw's Gary straight at Hogia they both fall to the ground Gasping for air with Gary on top of her. Cassandra whip's around Grip's her blade and slashes at Boras and Vagnor as their attack's land too. Gracie heals Gary and Hogia while Gloria Stand's Guard.

Zora smile's and think's to himself Impressive they are fighting like a party would, they must be old Comrades as they don't even have to know who takes what role Hogia Is the Archer, Boras, and Vagnor the Tank's, Gracie Is the healer,Gary Is the Rogue And Gloria Protect's the healer.

Cassandra break's both Boras's Axe breaking the blade and shatter's Vagnor's Shield In two. Crack's Hogia's Armor, Break's Gary's Dagger's, Shatter's Gloria's Mace, And snap's Gracie's Spear. As Zora finally stops thinking not paying attention to much of the fight.

Cassandra Walk's over to Zora. You-you-you WONDERFUL man. This Armor and Weapon are amazing. Remember our agreement, Cassandra.Cassandra's eye's sparkle. But of course, I plan on keeping these new toy's Hahahahaha. Gracie heals everyone as Vagnor walk's over to Zora. Impressive I have to say Zora you might not be one of the best blacksmiths In the world. But you clearly have a talent for It. Zora's right eye twitches slightly after hearing that comment. (Well of course not Moron If I gave you Armor and Weapon's of Mastercrafted level God I don't want to think what could happen Entire armies dragon's anything could happen If an army possessed the best Weapon's and Armor I could make they could Conquer half the World In a year maybe less I simply don't know don't want to find out either.)

Indeed Vagnor maybe one day I'll become a Master Blacksmith. Vagnor and Zora laugh. In any event Zora, Hogia says cutting In how much for the Weapon's and Armor and how soon can you make enough for 500 people.500 Thousand Gold and 1500 sets are completed and finished. Gracie Speak's.1500 Weapon's and Armor made In one night You aren't human that much Is very clear. Gary speaks. That's rude Gracie maybe he has a special trait he was born with we don't know. Hogia speaks that price Is outrageous Zora lower It damnit.

Vagnor hold's his hand up to silence everybody. Zora, we will pay 250 thousand Gold and the Guild will try not to bother you In any way for one year. Haha, Deal Vagnor.Great Raow Get Zora his money. Right away Mr.Vagnor Raow departs. I'll have Raow and Waou come with some Treant's to bring the Weapons and Armor to the Guild. Sound's good Vagnor I trust you can see yourself's out. Haha, your a strange man Zora see you around. Vagnor and the other member's Of The BHG say their goodbye's and leave It's around 3 pm.

Hey, Zora now that everyone has left can you teach me guerrilla warfare. Huhhhh why do you wanna learn that? Yuzo shrug's I just love learning new thing's plus besides If something ever happen's to you It'll help me survive when Bounty Hunter's come for me. Your right also It just occurred to me that Isn't It Ironic. Hmm, what Is Zora? Well, I am part of the BHG and many of the member's and their leader were just here. Ah, yea I think they mainly deal with Monster Contract's Human Contract's Are In a different Division of the BHG I think. Hmm, I suppose that make's sense anyway let's go I was planning on us hunting anyway. Zora and Yuzo head to the Main Entrance grab the bow's and put them over their shoulder's and attach the quiver's strap on our back's and set off toward's a forest east of the Estate which Is only five minute's away.

Zora paint's some target's on several trees and then walk's away from the outskirts of the forest. Alright, the first thing we are going do Is Archery training. Yuzo takes her bow and shoot's an arrow at the first target 100 meters away followed by Zora.No fair you hit the red target first. Yuzo's shot hit slowly below. There are many factors to consider don't just shoot immediately take your time breath deeply raise the arrow where your going shoot at just slightly above the target take weather into consideration too.

Oh, I see ok. Yuzo shoot's again this time nailing the red spot. See It's not that hard. Yes haha, Yuzo aim's and launches another arrow, But this time at the second target 300 meters away from hitting the red spot. Five minute's pass by as Both Yuzo and Zora now Begin walking through the forest looking for game to Hunt.

Zora I never did ask but why did you leave your country Yuzo ask's. I didn't actually something magical happened and now I am here In these lands. If you could go home would you. Hell no Yuzo. Yuzo tilt's her head sideways. Why not Zora. Simple back there I was a nobody nothing special about me working and doing the same thing all the time like thousand's of others. Zora look's up. Were there good thing's of course, But there was easily bad thing's too, In the end, I don't really have anything or anyone waiting for me so why bother. But what about your family Zora. Was never really close with them and they alway's used me and act like they don't, But they do and then they expected me to do so much not understanding how thing's worked. Yuzo sighs. At least we have the whole family thing In common.No I am sure you had It worse Yuzo. Yuzo look's at Zora and stares for a while then look's down.

Zora kneels down to examine some tracks. Lax tracks 2 appear's like. Yuzo follow me from up there. Ok, give me a boost. Zora boost's Yuzo up and She climbs onto the tree and kneels down on a long tree branch. She gives Zora a thumb's up And Zora begins following the track's Yuzo following behind through the tree's as quiet as possible.

Zora comes Into a clearing In the middle of the forest with a small lake to the left and a large cave opening Straight ahead with a small mountain In the back Zora spot's the lax's two of them purple like panthers with very large fang's level 20 animal predator's. Zora notches an arrow for the first one Yuzo see's this and does the same, But aim's for the other panther. Both of them let loose their arrow's and both lax's die. Yuzo climb's down from the tree's And Zora walk's over to the lax corpses and begins skinning them. Thought there would be Lax cub's say's Yuzo.Not close to winter yet either that or they were a newlywed couple. Zora chuckle's and finishes Skinning the laxs.

The rest of the day Zora teaches Yuzo how to create many different kind's of trap's such as pit fall's dart trap's log trap's and some drastic trap's that should only be used as a last resort and teaches her how to protect herself when using those trap's and how best to attack silently and with efficiency. 

9:30 pm Is when both Yuzo and Zora leave the forest to go home they enter the main gate's and head for the dining room when entering the dining room Yuzo sits down patiently waiting for food as Zora goes to cook he comes back with two bowl's of tomato soup.No pizza tonight Yuzo says and laugh's.Haha Nah not tonight but I see what you did there. Yuzo giggles. Yuzo Is cooling her soup down with her breath as Zora takes a spoonful of soup and drink's It.
