After few minutes of wandering in the dungeon, Lind finally located the safe area. It was a surprise, or joy, for him to see a group of people gathering in the safe zone, he thought it was a guild trying to locate the boss room in the dungeon, and these people look strong, it will surely not take long for them to locate the room. He grinned secretely, thinking it will be an oportunity for him if his thoughts were true. Of course it is really a big, good deal for him to know where the boss room lies.

Lind silently entered the safe area, pretending to ignore the group. He sat on the nearest large stone he could sit on. And again put his right index finger and thumb together and pulled downward, the main menu window appeared. He navigated through the items menu with his right index finger and checked the items he looted from the battle awhile ago, while overhearing people's conversations.

As Venria sat on the floor her back to the wall she noticed another one come into the safe room "I should have charged admission" she said to herself quitely before really looking over the knight that walked in, the striking white hair, ice blue eyes if it was not for the mirror that all players were given turning everyone to look like themselves in the real world she would have thought he was a normal looking avatar. she looked back down to the floor at her weapons that laid in front of her her light purple hair covering her dark purple eyes once in a while she would glance up and around at everyone but staying on the knight for a moment more.

Lind secretly glanced over the area, while navigating his menu window, inspecting every player seen by his eye, but one player caught his attention and made him paused for awhile, a female player, her pinkish purple hair and purple eye seemed familiar for him. "When and where did I met this girl? She looks familiar." He thought and continued navigating through his inventory.

It didn't took long before Lind felt hungry, he opened an item from his inventory, named seafood sandwich, which he bought from a luxurious NPC restaurant in Algade, and pressed use button. The item disappeared from his inventory. A sandwich made with lot of assorted types of seafood, grilled and fried, appeared on his hand. He closed the menu window and began eating the sandwich.

Kane was a little surprised by the presence of the girl and her strange animal. Beast Tamer was a rather rare class to come by around the game since most people perferred the strength and durability of a tank, or the stealth and speed of a rogue. Tamers depending on type were more of a middle ground support style. and could lean to either side, but this made them meant they had very inconsistent stat placement. He had found fun in the class and the way the support style of it suited him enough that he could function without other players if he really needed to. Finding someone else who played the class was like finding a kindred spirit.

"I'm Kane nice to meet ya!" He said with the same goofy grin. Wolf was eying her creature curiously and his own was piqued as well. His knowledge of the various beast the game was still fairly limited since he had kept to a lot of the same areas for leveling and gathering so far. "If you don't mind me asking what exactly is that?"

Chase summoned Fort who she normally used in a fight. She looked up at him and giggled watching him babble about his favorite things. They were heading in a dungeon which excited Chase. She wanted to become the strongest and complete all the floors. That way she could become the hero and save everyone in need. She wanted to show them that she can help to. To be honest, in the inside she didn't feel great. She was scared she was thinking to herself about the possibility's. Like not being able to actually survive the attacks the bosses give you. She felt weak.
Of course she didn't want to show that in front of people. Chase sighed, "Kill 100 bandits, huh?" She mumbled staring up at Fort and awkwardly smiling. Shaking her head she decided to giggle, "of course, I don't wanna kill 100 of them! I wanna challenge myself!" She shouted and proudly pounded her chest. "I'll show them.." As they both reached the dungeon a chilly wind came rushing behind her. "Uh.." Her hands shook as she tightly held onto her weapon. "Actually...Never mind about the dungeon.." She chuckled lightly and turned back around.
"You're funny Chase!" Fort babbled, Chase shrugged her shoulders and smiled. They decided to head back to their important quest. Chase's ears twitched as she heard Fort yell, "You're scared Chase!" He said twirling around and laughing. "PSH. I AIN'T SCARED." She yelled back stomping the ground.

Suki glanced at Kimba, "He doesn't know, and neither do I" she said, "I call him Kimba. We worked out the name together. And him seems happy with the name I picked for his species -Unipard" She shrugged, "He seems to think he is but a pup, and will continue to grow, which is helpful to know" She smiled.

She looked around, "I'm Suki, by the way. What is your partners name?" She asked, even as she sat down. She figured she may as well take advantage of the safe area. Kimba padded over to her and laid down.

"Avetty.It probably because of you skills. Don't worry I get stares too." She says smiling a little. She was slowly getting used to the people but she was still being a little skittish.

Kane chuckled while Wolf barked again. "I just call him Wolf. He doesn't really seem to mind it all that much." Wolf had curled up near his feet using the downtime to regen his hp after all the fighting. "Anyway its cool to see another Beast Tamer for a change. I was starting to think I was the only one."

Suki looked over at the wolf, "I can heal him if you want" she said, stretching out, giving a yawn. "I have that ability. Familiar healing" she stroked Kimba before rising and going over, smiling friendily, looking about as she walked, noting the other person in the safe area

Kane was thrilled at Suki's offer, He lacked the Familiar Healing skill himself so Wolf had been at the mercy of regen times, with an potion thrown in whenever Kane could spare one. It was something he wished he could change since he felt he couldn't support his beast partner as well as he liked. "That'd be great! He'd really appreciate it I know,"

Kaiden smirked at her, she looked very familiar... that hair... that look on her face.

Oh, my god Kaiden thought... could it be? Could she really be that chick he let infront of the line after she got pushed out of it?
I'd have to ask her but, she resembles her quite well.

"Er, as I said before, Avetty? er I swear I saw you at one of the line-ups for SAO when it was released, I let you go infront of me after being kicked out of the line? Sorry I take deep notice in such, pretty girls." Kaiden blushes, he might already have a crush on a girl.. well he still refuses it.

He was just trying to be nice. He was so embarrassed, she looked flattered.

"Anyways, here take some of this.. i't dropped from a miniboss," he gives Avetty a Dual Blade similar to hers but.. it was made from some strange material, it was marked with a weird sign.

She took it and Kaiden ran off smiling.

"I gotta go find a place to stay! I'll see you later" Kaiden said walking off.

Suki smiled, approaching Wolf. She let him sniff her, and then went to work healing him. Kimba padded over, sitting beside her almost protectively. She rolled her eyes at him, "I'm safe here Kim" She said to him, looking up at Kane and smiling, "Right?" she said, leaning back when she was done healing the wolf.

Venira watched as everyone talked in the safe room, her eyes crossed the room falling back on the white haired knight once again, this time she knew she knew him and it wasnt from SAO, getting up off the floor she picked up her chained blades and hung them over her shoulder and walked over to the knight, "i see here you at least dont have to wear those suits your father made you wear..." she smirked but it was under her mask that still more or less hid her identity, she wasnt sure if she was correct in thinking he was who she thought but went for it.

Lind's attention was focused on the food he was eating, he never realized that the lady he was gazing at awhile ago was already in front of him, until he heard the lady talked in front of him. "What do you mean?!" Lind shouted surprised, he thought the girl caught him gazing over her. He paused for a moment, trying to analyze the statement the girl spoke to him. Then felt relieved that he realized the girl never caught . "Suit? Father? Do I know this girl from the real world? Or maybe she's just a scammer trying to compliment or seduce me then later take my money?" and many more thoughts ran over his mind. Lind can barely remember everything from the real world, except his email, social media and online games account, because he never cared or paid attention to everything except gaming, his only interest in life.

"Do I know you?" Lind asked the girl, his body was frozen, sitting on the mossy rock while looking at the face of the girl covered with a mask, forcing a smile to hide his embarrassment.

Avetty ran after him. "Thank you Kaiden for everything." She said finally realizing why he seemed so familiar. Her face was red from blush and the duel blade sword was on her back replacing her blue sword.

Kaiden smiled as he walked away and was watching everyone as he walked towards the in, he saw somone frozen staring at this assassin chick, he kept staring at them and then couldn't stop laughing at the fact that he looked quite funny, then he realized he got two glares from them, and said, "No, no don't worry about me... finish your conversation and then come talk to me at the inn, you guys seem funny... I think I need a party you guys should come and talk to me later.."

They where still glaring at him, the assassin chick had a unique weapon skill, she had these hook chain thingies.. So many people are already a high level, He bets she was level 24 like himself, or even higher.. you never know. Kaiden realised he was in the town square and a bunch of people where trying to hide the fact that they where too glaring at him.

See Kaiden was trying to act out of his personality, he had some secret insecurity, so he acted like a jerk in front of everyone. He decided to show off and he called for Shigoro, this time Shigoro was in Kaiden's most favored form, A blight blue wyvern, with armor on her back.. the saddle used to appear when he was outside the safe zone.

She was much bigger outside the safe zone anyway, infact she was only have her size. Some people might think he is a "Beast Tamer" but he was one of the beta testers that got a chance to look around the place, but he kept it to himself and that's why he was the first to find the Soul Gem, a Rare item that is on floor 1 and is hidden and pretty hard to find.

Everyone was chattering and thinking what the hell, the two beast tamers where interrupted as-well they looked over at Kaiden, even that chick that Kaiden gave gear to.
It was good two, now PK'ers would be careful if they where to try and ambush him, he was already a real high level and it's only just after floor 1.

That's when Kaiden decided to lay the jerk act off, for a bit.

"Ok, i might of been acting like a jerk, heh.. well that's for my own reason." Kaiden said
"Well, i know you guys are all chit chattering on, but we should try and figure out something, the boss on the second floor is worse then that kobold thing, so where gonna need to form guilds and parties, start training and leveling to be able to beat that thing" Kaiden announced

Some kid said "But where only level 10! how are we going to level up so quickly!"

"hey hey, i never said there was a time limit, take your time if you want to some of us need to level up quickly so we can actually clear the boss" Kaiden Proclaimed then started talking again

"Anyway's i'll be in the inn, if anyone wants to talk to me and Shigoru, go ahead " as Kaiden said that Shigoru turned into a female in a blue dress with an arm blade attached to her right arm, she actually spoke and said,

"Don't call me Shigoru, that's my last name Kaiden, please say Akia for once" she had an annoyed look on her face as Kaiden and Akia went inside the inn.

her purple glare went towards the laughter as she noticed it was directed at her in some way, she did not like being laughed at "I dont consider myself a "funny" person" she replied to being called funny she slid her hand over the chain that linked her sickles and placed a hand on tilt of the right one "a party....is something i will take under consideration..." she knew it needed to be done sooner or later and if she wanted to get stronger she needed help of others.

she pulled down the mask that covered her mouth and jaw her eyes falling back on the knight,now unsure if he would remember her "you remember those boring retreats our fathers would drag us to every year..." she sat back down to the left of him but about 3 feet away "I your father always hung over my father the fact that he had a son to take over his business and he...only had a single daughter" she smirked offering out her hand in a shake "you might remember my name out there in the real world...maybe not...but here you can call me Verina" it was her last name IRL, the name on her family's wine bottles and vineyard in paris and parts of the US

Avetty stretched and made her way back towards the town her long hair bouncing gently against her new sword

Kaiden had been sitting talking to Akia Shigoru, his soul stone.. she was his only company, An AI built to communicate humanly, they sat they're and laughed.. he kept talking on and on and than wondered when Avetty would stop by the inn, did she actually notice that wyvern out there.. or did she not notice how rare of a player that Kaiden actually was.. he really liked Avetty, he was developing a crush quickly, too quickly to be exact.. He swore he wouldn't say or do anything irrational, nor was he gonna be a "solo" player, he'd party up with a bunch of 3 people including Avetty, if she wanted too.

Kaiden had collected a ton of gold and wanted to reach level 15.. he heard there was a nice house there that he could afford, it was right by a lake with a waterfall and it was in a lovely village, He would make it there before anyone else could steal his dream-house, he wanted somone to stash his loot,, where nobody could pry into.

He could also practice his fishing and get better at a lot of skills, he rarely had any backup skills atm, so he wanted to grab a couple.

Lind almost fell on the slippery, mossy rock he was sitting on, although he couldn't recognize the voice and the face, the name Venira reminded him something from the real world, and it surprised him. "You don't mean the girl who used to always force me play outside and hang out with her friends, the girl who used to piss me off, the girl who ruined my child hood, the girl who borrowed my PS4 games and never returned it and the girl who used to always cheat me on every games we played together. Hell no!" he thought. Few moments of analyzing the situation and he came to a conclusion, his jaw dropped wide as he realized that his thoughts were right, it was Cassidy Venira.

"Cassidy Venira?" Lind mentioned. He turned his head toward the girl awkwardly, and stared her nervously. "I never expected I will see you here. It's been a long time, 6 years if I am not mistaken, I haven't even recognized your face."
