A hard afternoon's work for a hard set of questions. He was at least four chapters ahead of his class by now. He wasn't born a genius but his parents and himself had taken many measures to ensure that he would excel in academics if nothing else, but it sort of looked that might ended up being the case. A fair way into the year and the only achievement he'd had was getting ahead in his classes, and frankly, that didn't even really matter in the end. Who cared if you were ahead? The only sure-fire 100% guarantee of getting a job after 18 was Deep Ground Online. Sure, keeping that job was a different story but climbing up was also another challenge which could at least have some lowered difficulty. For one, he really wished he'd been a part of the recent events surrounding the 'Corpse Collector'. He'd given the Black City a wide berth when the Black Guild had opened its arms. Partially because he wanted to make it as a solo player but mostly because he knew he probably wouldn't have survived the trip. His one ability was really finicky to use and just plain risky in combat. But from what he'd heard... he'd really missed out on what would probably have been the event of most of the people involved's lives. [i]I'll get the next one...[/i] He promised himself. He knew he wasn't strong enough now but maybe if he had enough will, enough guts, maybe he could find something major to be a part of. A reason for being that would make him special. He had faith in [color=thistle]'Star Child'[/color], that one day it'd make him finally live up to his name. "I Better get started then!" He said. He grabbed his books and dashed off towards his room. Who knew what was waiting for him in Deep Ground?
