Been waiting for this.

Aww, yeah. Been waiting, OP.

You fell asleep while browsing on your M2D after logging out of the world the previous night. Upon waking, you promptly take care of your bio needs and log into the world.

"Welcome to the 'World' Mifune" You see on the login screen, eliciting a small giddy smile from you as you soon take on the vision of your familiar avatar, the Lei tribe, Cat Samurai of the Adept Rogue Job, Mifune.

Seeing the familiar hub of the chaos gate in Mac Anu, you pnder what you should do now...

You see a large Beastman talking to a small human, perhaps you could join in on their conversation? Your victories last night have given you a bit of confidence..

You check your member list and see that 1/2 isn't on, however Dark Falls is, you could call him if you want...

Alternatively, you could always explore the town, you haven't gone much further than the chaos gate hub after all..

>>23744981

Ah, can we put on the skin of the white snake while we are at it? Since I assume it is not equipped.

Skin of The White Snake is a lv 10 item, sorry I didn't include that.

-Mifune Equips Dry Sash!

With a lazy feline swagger you head out of the hub, through the gates to explore the eternal city of Mac Anu.
You see that the morning sun is upon this area, and that player activity is a bit slow this early, but that doesn't bother you.

You notice a green portal near the hub that you find curious, alternatively, there is a huge bridge to cross to get to the main town.

>[] Investigate green portal thing.

>>23745102

>>23745102

>[] Cross the bridge, let's explore!
We can always look at the portal later.

>>23745102
>[X] Cross the bridge, let's explore!
Make a note of the green portal, though. We'll check it out later.

>>23745136

What?

>>23745102
>[] Cross the bridge, let's explore!

You make a mental note of the portal and carry on across the bridge, finding st least this part a bit empty. Your ears catch someone porting and you turn around to see someone go through the doors to the chaos hub.

Seems that can be used for travel, but isn't this emptiness a bit... Odd?

You venture further into town passing by some houses that seem to have doors and the like for some free exploring or pseudo player housing. Down the road from here, you see a fountain...

>[] Continue on to the fountain.
Do we have any concrete plans for our character or are you just sort of samurai-ing it up?

>>23745223
>[X] Continue on to the fountain.

A player house sounds neat, or really just any kind of place to have as a hangout/base of operations for the friends we've made, but let's check out that fountain first.

>>23745264

Last thread

>>23745264
Basically, we took out the Edge Panda and she tried to flee since it was three to one. We let her go, offered a truce, and extended our hand in friendship.

Because we're just honorable as fuck like that.

>>23745268

The "player" is a bit of a japanese movie buff and practices kendo.

The character is Samurai themed for honor and feudal virtue and the like...

>>23745268
We were going to spend points in to the gunner class later as well I think.

You continue onto the fountain area, seeing that there are various players standing behind merchant-like stands, however there's a weird tension as the merchants seem to be glaring intently at each other whenever they're not with a customer.

Whenever someone leaves, instead of coming back your way, they head west and down another street.

There are as many as twenty, maybe fifty merchants in this colossal square.

There are more roads to the southeast and southwest.

>Take road to the Southeast.

>>23745401
>[] Take road to the southwest.

Take note of what merchants sell what for future reference and move on.

>>23745467
Seconding.

You take note of some of the merchant's wares, snooping about here and there, you dind out that the shops are not just player owned, but guild owned, and each guild tends to stock specific items... Guilds that stand out as having a much more significant stock:

Teatime: Massive amounts of rare scrolls and Accessories beyond your price range.

The Killers: Weapon dealers, they have a lot of not necessarily rare, but heavily modded pieces.

Yggdrasil: Armor, restorative potions, cheaper scrolls. They seem to sell everything low, but only to certain people..

There are likely other big guild shops, however the call of adventure beckons you, and you take the road to the southwest, following some of the people that are leaving. after a bit of walking, you find that people take the corner to get to a green portal like the one you had noticed before.

They warp just as quickly as they touch the portal, such a hurry they are in, hm?

Behind you, there's a Vital Vista NPC that seems to run a Quest shop, there are only 2 players in front of him as it is.

> []Check out the quest shop.
> [] Continue on down the southwest road.
> [] Port back to the hub.

*Saint Clarica has just logged on!*

>>23745667
> []Check out the quest shop.

Might as well see what it has.

>>23745667

> []Check out the quest shop.

Can we also send a greeting message to Clarica and Dark Falls?

>>23745735

If seconded, yes.

Just a "Hello, what's up?" Kind of shortmail?

>>23745757
I second the motion, and yes that sounds good.

>>23745757
But without breaking character.

Something like "Well met honorable friends. How does this morning find you?"

>>23745735
Second

You check out the quest shop, the Vital Vista hails you.

"Why hello there newcomer! We don't see many players in this part of town nowadays except fer traveling through the gate there yonder, might I interest you in a quest?"

You bow slightly to the npc," A moment please, I must speak to my companions before taking on this quest, Gomenasai."

You hear a bit of a chuckle from one of the players near you, and hear a "What was that?" comment.

You ignore the two players for now..

Opening up your shortmail, you send identical messages to both Dark Falls and Saint Clarica.

"Well met most honorable friends, how does this morning find you?"

After a few moment you get a reply from Dark Falls," LOL dude, ok, I'll admit, it's cool but kind of lame. You doing anything?"

And then Saint Clarica," Hello most honorable Samurai, this morning finds me quite well."

I am considering taking a quest in order to further deepen our young bonds of friendships into glorious pillars of solidarity. Would there be interest on your parts to do this?

>>23745949
Yeah, let's just go with that.

>>23745949
Seconding.

You think for a moment and spend a bit of time fabricating your next shortmail to the two of them.

"I am considering taking a quest in order to further deepen our young bonds of friendships into glorious pillars of solidarity. Would there be interest on your part to do this?"

After a few seconds, Saint Clarica sends her reply," Young buds of friendship must be watered to blossom. Yes, I will take part."
{Saint Clarica lv 12 joins the party!}

Dark Falls replies," Friendship is for those that know not of the emptiness of shadow. I will accept, but only so that I I may educate the world in despair."

... Huh...

{Dark Falls has joined the party!}

The black-cloaked and hooded Flick Reaper with flippy emo hair lands beside you from a nearby roof. Does he often do that?

"Hello there... Little Cat..."

You give him a small bow while thumbing Fang Muramasa," Ohayou, Honorable Dark Friend."

"What venture... shall we be... Partaking?

Saint Clarica ports in from the green gate, the small Red Panda waves and trots over to you and Dark Falls before taking a seat on her tail as usual.

"Good morning, old enemies, new friends. Where shall we be going?" Saint Clarica speaks with a proper and gentle tone, she sounds like a mother.

"My companions, I am afraid I have not the answer, I have yet to see what journey we should take."

The three of you crowd by the Quest shop, the two players from earlier leave... The available quests that are within level of the party are:

>[] Find the Golden Mongoose! (lv 3)

>[] Bounty Hunter Test! (Lv 10)

>[] Destroy the buried treasure! (lv 5)

>[] Hunt the Goblin Shaman! (lv 7)

You see that there's also a quest called "Job Extension" that's lv 20...

>[] Ask companions what they'd like to do.

>>23746313
What level is Dark again?

Dark Falls is lv 8. He leveled up during the last adventure.

>>23746313
>[] Ask companions what they'd like to do.
Suggest
>[] Hunt the Goblin Shaman! (lv 7)

>>23746313
>[X] Ask companions what they'd like to do.

We're the lowest level and newest to the game, so they would have a better idea of what quest would be good and that we would be capable of. Goblin Shaman and Bounty Hunter Test seem the most interesting though.

>>23746313
[X]Destroy the buried treasure.

Sounds right up our alley, not too high a level and possibly some good items. why would you destroy a treasure though....Unless it's amazingly powerful!

>>23746313

>[] Ask companions what they'd like to do.
"Noble friends, where shall the southern winds of this dream born city take us?"

Check the rewards for the quests for something that would make it worthwhile. We do not want to seem to be power-leveling off of them, it would be dishonorable.

>>23746313
>[] Ask companions what they'd like to do.

>[] Hunt the Goblin Shaman! (lv 7)

or

>[] Bounty Hunter Test! (Lv 10)

>>23746425
do they list the quest rewards? can we see what would benefit the most?

Bounty hunting test sounds pretty promising though.

>>23746313
I say either Destroy the Buried Treasure, or hunt the goblin Shaman.

Remember, we are only Level 3, so we will get our shit kicked in if we get in over our heads.

You stare at the quests for a moment and find [Hunt the Goblin Shaman!] to be pretty attractive, along with [Bounty Hunter Test].. Though you find the quest titled, [Destroy The Buried Treasure!] to be a bit.. odd.. destroy?

>[] Find the Golden Mongoose! (lv 3)
Reward: Text of Sense
>[] Bounty Hunter Test! (Lv 10)
Reward: Text of Power
>[] Destroy the buried treasure! (lv 5)
Reward: Text of Stamina
>[] Hunt the Goblin Shaman! (lv 7)
Reward: Text of Magic

To your companions, "Noble friends, where shall the southern winds of this dream born city take us?"

Dark Falls kind of gapes his mouth open a bit as he tries to find the words to say to that, Saint Clarica however, doesn't miss a beat.

"Honorable Samurai, I would think that you'd likt to take the Bounty Hunter Test, however, the wind tells this Red Panda that the destruction of the buried treasure would be most to your skill."

Dark Falls flips his hair," It matters not where the Dark one roams, shadow follows wherever he goes, destruction though, it fills his soul. Wherever shall this Samurai go?"

>[] Which do you choose?

>>23746537
Treasure.
I kinda wanna know why it's "destroy" and that Text of Stamina sure sounds nice.

>>23746537
What does a text of sense do? No matter, time for some goddamn STAM!

Buried treasure gets my vote!

>>23746555

Sense is Magic Def

>>23746537
I'm going to say Bounty Hunter Test, it may be a little difficult but it seems to be part of a quest chain.

>>23746537
Go with the buried treasure.

>>23746537
I say buried treasure.

"Then you shall have your destruction, oh wanderer of infinite darkness. I shall heed the experience of the Red Panda and choose to destroy this treasure!"

>>23746627
"Though it does seem odd, to destroy that which we seek to gain ... "

>>23746537
Lets go fuck a mongoose up.

The shaman and bounty hunter quest chains are cool but we're no where near going to be able to handle them.

You select the quest, [Destroy The Buried Treasure!]

You say, "Then you shall have your destruction, oh wanderer of infinite darkness. I shall heed the experience of the Red Panda and choose to destroy this treasure!" Dark Falls smiles uncontrollably to the point that he picks his collar up to hide his mouth. Saint Clarica appears content.

The Vital Vista bows slightly to you," Good, you have tak̷en̢ ǫn̷ t̨he͏ Quest. I will call the poster..."

After a few moments, a swarthy looking Vital Vista swaggers up to your party, puffing a pipe he takes it out and says," Yarrr, maties! You the Land-lubbin' dogs that beset on ḿy q̸u͝est?̴"

You and Saint Clarica give a polite bow, while Dark Falls standa sulking.
You reply to the npc," Why, yes, we are the honorable people that seek to fix the cause of your strife, Where shall we go to... Destroy the treasure?"

With a puff of his pipe, the Vital Vista struts back and forth on a pegleg," Yarrr... It's been many a year... The tre̸a̢s͞ùrę.̶ from me pirat'n days still haunts me sleep. It must be destroyed to give me rest... As well as the spirits o' me lost crew that haunt me... Take this m̨a͟p̢ to t͏h̡e Tŗe̡asúr̵e. I'll 'ave me sleep soon 'nuff.."

{Acquired tattered map!}

"Yarrr... Head on to Delta:Marooned Sca͜ve͘n͡gi̡n̕g Privateer... Yarrr.." The swarthy Vital Vista departs.

"A dark secret indeed, he of moonless midnights, but we have no choice other than to go forward."

Dark Falls nods," Indeed, Warrior of the sword..."

The two more experienced players guide you the the green gate, and show you the option to teleport to the respective ones. You select "Dome" at their instruction and are ported to the Chaos Gate.

As the three of you enter the dome, you turn to Saint Clarica,
"Might I ask, Saint Clarisa, did you note anything... odd in the speech of the former pirate captain?"

The red panda looks at you with one eye open," Out of character: I did notice some audio issues, but they happen sometimes, nothing to be concerned about."

Dark Falls butts in," OOC: Hey, I haven't heard audio issues like that before... it even affected the area word."

Saint Clarica smiles," Shouldn't be anything to worry about, it's just a game after all."

The load screen clears and you find yourself in a deserted island, you don't see Dark Falls or Saint Clarica near you.

The sky is black and speckled with stars, the sea is Red, and the sound of the waves relaxes you as they crash onto the shore.

Wait, the sea is red?

Looking to the sea, you determine that it is a deep crimson, like the color of blood. It reminds you of that first area that you were in. . . What was it? You can't entirely remember...

>>23747199
Apologies for not picking up on that

You decide to send a shortmail to your party members, you need to find them...

First,"Friends? Companions? Where have the winds taken you?"

You wait a few moments, no reply.

Then,"Apologies, comrades, but it seems the gate directed me apart from you both, likely in fear of our combined might. Would you kindly indicate where you have gone so we may reunite in order to destroy the cowardly treasure?"

Still no answer.

You send a third and final message," OOC: Umm... What happened? Where you guys end up at?"

No answer.

You look at the red sea, and your cat-like curiosity gets the best of you.

With slow and meaningful steps, you make your way to the shoreline, observing the red water intently as it licks its way up the beach.

"The... Sword..."

You hear a voice call to you.

You draw the weapon , ready to strike.

You take a deep breath and prepare your soul.

"The..."

You see strange black spots well up in an area in the water, a skeleton rising from it wearing Samurai Armor like the one from the Temple area.

"You..." your eyes narrow on the perceived threat.

"Sword." It says calmly as it draws its own blade, the blue barrier comes up, and you immediately notice that it has odd black... holes scattered about it.

"I know not for what reason you seek to take my honor from me, but if you seek battle I shall respond with the fury of an awakened god if I must"

"An... Awakened God... Must... Awaken..." You Revenant Samurai moves with impossible speed and clashes with your guard, somehow you seem to be keeping up with the skillfull dead warrior.

You feel as if Muramasa is helping you...?

With each of the frenzied, impossibly fast strikes blocked, you find a moment to counter, slashing at your assailant with great power, you see part of his armor fall as he backs off.

"Sword... Power..."

The Samurai assaults you a second time, your reactions failing you as his sword bites, and does so deeply.

I'm saying we should run. One hit and we're down half our health, yeah. I don't want to see a Art or spell from this thing.

"You shall not find me such easy prey!"

You activate your arts, the swiftest and only skill you currently have. You call out, "Sword Flash!"

Rushing towards the enemy, with the light of your art, you are convinced that this will give you the upper hand.

You strike, a killing blow to the neck, the enemy's blade blocks it, a crippling blow to the thigh, another block, and finally an eviscerating chop across the belly, metal on metal once more.

You grow cold staring into the dead eyes of the revenant.

It brings the tip of its sword to your throat in one lightning movement. Its attacks so far, you see some message in them...

"I no longer have p͠la͘c̀e̶ in this W͞o̢r͟ld. Take my So͜u̵l̀, I give it to you."

With another movement yielding an afterimage, the samurai sheaths his sword and sits.

Sheath sword and bow on hands and knees. "Then please teach me."

Learn? What must I learn, dead one? What guidance can you offer me? What do you mean you have 'no place in this World?' And what is this God you speak of? It must be awaken ... why?

We were the one saying

he said
>An... Awakened God... Must... Awaken...
He's saying we're shit.

>>23747933
I misread that then. Oops.

"I do not understand. I cannot take your soul, I have not earned it."

It does not respond, it simply sits on its knees, waiting.

You sheath your sword, eliciting a small change in posture from the skeletal Samurai.

Bowing down on her hands and knees, you touch your head to the red water... that you only now realize you've been standing on.

"Please.. Teach me."

The Samurai stands, and unsheathes his sword, you just barely rise in time to block a surprisingly slow strike from him.

With Muramasa, you barely block another series of strikes from him. You feel a message.

"The dead may only teach the living with death. Take my head and the learning shall begin."

At the end of a fully blocked assault, you pant, the Samurai is still so fast...

You see black spots swirling around the skeleton as he sits once more.

"Take... Head..."

"if you ask me to act as a second, then I shall do so with pride, good warrior, but I shall take no satisfaction from such an act"

>>23748031
From the dead we may see much.

Bow, draw your sword, and Sudoku him.

>>23748031
>[] Take his head.
Bow acknowledging his wishes.
KYAAAAAA~!

>>23748031
>[x] Take his head.
"There can be only one."

You bow before the Samurai and step behind the kneeling skeleto- no, man.


"If you ask me to act as a second, then I shall do so with pride, good warrior, but I shall take no satisfaction from such an act."

Ceremoniously, you raise Muramasa," Then, so be it."

The Red blade of Fang Muramasa whips through the air, aimed at the neck of the skeleton.

Everything seems to slow down and become monotone until you can't even move.

A voice whispers into your head.

"What is it that you desire? Power? Fame? Fortune? Tell me your heart's wish, Mifune."

Did.... Did an npc use your character's name?
You see from your locked position, the black spots from before trace the arc of your blade, parting slowly, ever so slowly like a river against a rock.

How do you reply?

>[] Fame.

If you think about it, it IS the base desire of every MMO player.

You mull the thought over in your mind for what seems like forever, whatever had been speaking to you waits ever so patiently.

With the words from your heart, now in your head, you give them voice.

"To do that which is right...

To stand as a bulwark against the insurmountable injustices in this world. To have my companions smile easily and readily. To be a man, broken in the end, spitting defiance against what can only be called evil.

For this I need power to do what is right, wisdom to know when to do what is right, and the morals to know right from wrong...

More than anything though... To be.. Myself."

The voice gives you no reply for a moment before finally saying,"In̵terest͝ińg҉..͞.̨ ͡I͝ ̶may̨ ̧g͢i̷v̸e ̶y҉ou ҉onè ͝of̡ t͘h̕e͡ ̢t̶h̶i̛n͘g̛s ̀yǫu r̵e̛qu̷i̧re͠. T́hę ͟ŗe̢şt̕. Wḩy,͘ the͝ ̷r̨est҉ ͠i̕s up̴ ́to y̷ou̕.́ Good Luck."

Everything resumes and the skeleton's head tumbles, a lit soul slides into your blade, along with that strange black texture that now seems to resonate as the aura of your blade... How... odd..

The battlefield dissipates, no report of exp or items pops up.

You find that the ocean is a serene blue and you find your two party members chilling out on the beach, Saint Clarica's begun to make a sand-castle, while Dark Falls seems to have made no less than 50 holes.

"Apolog-"

"Where have you been?!" Dark Falls yells from a hole he's dug," You have the map! I've been digging for the past half hour!!! My god! if they ever made a game about digging for things you might never find, worst game ever!" Dark Falls lets himself fall back into a sand mound and starts to make a sand Angel.

Saint Clarica's chilling out in an adorable tube-like one piece swimsuit," Oh, hello. We figured you were having server issues, welcome back!" The Red Panda smiles, showing her animal-like teeth.

Also mumble something about server problems.

Keep it quiet until we know whats going on.

>>23748362
>[] examine Muramasa closely.

"Indeed. Server issues is certainly one way to describe what happen ... "

Right now, we really need to figure out /what/ just happen before mouthing off about it.
