He was halfway through his shift, he used to look through his phone but now he seemingly stares into space, it wasn't that simple,
Ash had awakened a new feature thanks to the release of the beta, it allowed him to moderate the ingame world.
[GM perspective: allows you to moderate]
It gave him a phantom-like perspective, now he was playing his game using a holographic pc, instead of actually being inside it.
For the first five minutes he had to change around the controls since they weren't WSAD for some reason.
He slowly ventured around his region, he found a team of players arguing,
They were camped within a small plains with no monsters in sight, beautiful flowers guided the way to this haven.
Within the centre of this haven;
"Why didn't you heal me, Bella, stop healing Riley. I understand you have some sort of thing going on but I'm the main DPS!"
A red-haired man whines at a green-haired woman, she seems slightly fearful of him.
She gives him a dirty look, she wanted to leave but the man berating her helped in levelling up the whole group.
"But he's our tank, he's taking most of the damage, quit being an ass".
She retorted back at him despite being scared. For a moment he was speechless, his face showed nothing but shock.
In anger, without realising he raised his axe and then shouted;
"Bitch, I'm the party leader, I'm the one that carried you all, without me you'd all be level 3".
The thug seemed to know how to fight,
"stop this Arnold, the game has only been out for a day, like Bella said stop being an ass". The tank in question tells him to stop, he is also confident in his ability to fight.
Arnold gave a murderous gaze toward him, he started to speak;
"Riley, this isn't something I can easily just stop, I almost bloody died".
His gazed shifted to Riley.
He wrathfully shouts, before this, he almost sacrificed the life of three other players.
"Man, if it wasn't for me you would have died stop being annoying".
The tank shouts he isn't backing down, he hates hypocrites.
Someone was walking up to them, he came from a tent that was the left of Arnold.
"What's happening here, everyone needs to calm down". A man with blue hair kindly raised his voice,
He walked up to both of them and separated them.
Arnold spoke, after pushing the boy;
"Bro, I'm a warrior and you're a commoner quit butting in". He said pushing him to the ground.
Ash looked at this with interest, he might have to ban someone, he looked through Arnold's stats.
Arnold, though angry and selfish does back down.
Currently he was under a spell effect from the necromancer boss they were previously running from. His anger had been amplified, and he didn't like it, he was already an angry person, but now he was much worse.
Thanks to the cooldown the effect was dissipating.
Arnold with shame, walked away saying;
"I'll try to be kind, I promise". Ash had long left after noticing it was a debuff.
The others thought this was anti-climactic,
Arnold on the other hand had gone back to the town, and he acquired a quest:
[Defeat 10 high-level skeletons]
It was just like the tutorial quest, he celebrated that fact.
"Time to hunt". He says with seriousness, trying to distract himself.
He was near the main statue, he walked to the main exit.
After saying his goodbyes to some NPCs he knew, he left towards the closest spire. He was now walking through the woods.
He noticed a lot of other worldly flowers, some of the trees looked odd too.
He shrugged it off, he was more interested in the combat, after a few miles a giant labybug chose to attack him.
Bzzzbzzz*
"Fucking baboon ass look bug, bouta eat my axe". He says with anger.
He swung his axe with the power of a skill, but thanks to the ladybugs nimbleness it dodged, Arnold huffed a breath anticipating what was to come.
Doosh*
The ladybug lands a clear hit, it doesn't really affect Arnold instead he smirks, while slashing his dual-wielding axes at the centre face of the bug.
Scree*
It wrestled in pain, it tried to escape his grasp but Arnold dropped one of his axes and activated a skill called;
[Warriors rage]- + 30% to strength for 5 seconds- cooldown 60
Which boosted his strength stat allowing him to hold onto the bug with one hand, once he had a firm grip he slammed his axe once more killing it.
[Ding*
Exp + 6
Drop: none]
Swiping away the notification he continues towards his direction, before that he decides to take in the scenery wanting to better his thoughts.
He was still caught up about his attitude from earlier, knowing he overstepped some boundaries, not wanting to over think he slowly takes in the view.
It was a wonderful up hill forest, filled with flowers and flora, the fallen leaves that are decayed added extra detail,
the shrubs added abundant background details which maches the white and pink flowers that sprouted out of the decayed leaves.
[A/N: (Please help me find any books that can help me learn detailing, thank you!)]
After taking in the view he, restarted his march.
-Back at the haven-
"I feel bad for Arnold, it's only our first day meeting him, we shouldn't judge him for this". The blue-haired boy spoke.
He was forgiving in nature.
"Nope, I think we should". Riley countered
"he, was playing rough with Bella". Riley continued, he was not as forgiving.
He lifted his sword and said;
"Let's go level up, I'm pretty sure the boss mob has returned to its home, we all need to get stronger". He stated aggressively with clear anger.
He made sure he broadcasts it to the whole camp.
Even though he himself was angry he didn't resort to chasing Arnold down, he got everyone from the group gathered there were 13 people gathered.
They were mostly mages or knights only the blue-haired boy was a commoner, he was finishing off some fixes on a metal sword.
Within the tent, he had set up;
His hammer struck the sword with velocity and precision, sparks bounced upwards.
He continued this for a good five minutes, he had mostly finished.
After moulding it back in the place he had finished;
While letting the sword sit, he started to craft the scabbard.
Walking to his temporary craft station, he opened the crafting menu;
Crafting level (6)
Resources: 45(wood, leather, string, metal and etc)
Craftable items: (basic) (mediocre) (Normal)
Crafted items: 32
[Craft item: Short Sword Scabbard(mediocre)]
Pressing the craft button, the normal animation played a ribbon unfolded and the scabbard was revealed.
He called for a mage with the basic spell, (enhance quality)
"XoLorax, I need you". He walked towards the entrance of his head and poked his head out.
To gain this spell you had to be at least level 10, and to learn this spell you must have done the quest from a little girl before level 5.
It was quite rare, since the quest is deceivingly hard.
"I got you". A guy in a full grey wizard fit shouts while jogging towards his tent.
"Done, GagaToo come get your new sword". The blue-haired boy shouted near the tents entrance gain.
A man from Riley's group walked over, he took his time.
"Thanks, bro". A tall beared man spoke.
"Mhm, you're welcome!". The blue haired boy passed the brand new sword to the man,
He then walked to all his temporary stations and destroyed them, he is now going to join the group.
Not noticing that he forgot to place his hammer, in his inventory it felll onto the floor.
"Oh crud". The blue hoard boy says;
Picking up his knewly crafted hammer, he placed it into his inventory.
SunArrow-POV-
A guy with orange tange hair, a mediocre frame, firery eyes, he was weakly swinging a sword towards a zombie, even with the games help he was awful at it.
"Damn you zombie fucker". He screams, he was scared but wanted to finish the quest he accept from an old lady.
"Fucking fuck".His insults continue.
Garr*
The zombie growled, it was if it retorted back at him.
"I'm not a fucking hatchling". He fevishly spoke as he weakingly struck the zombies arm.
"What am i doing wrong, the tutorial was so easy". He spouted, he was confused since he ran through the tutorial so easily, he thought the tutorial would reflect the game.
"I'll help you, dude".
