A final slash brought the snake creature in front of a small brown haired girl to death. As it shattered into pieces a small screen appeared before her. **CONGRATULATIONS** **XP Gained: 231** **Col Earned: 122** **Items Earned: Poison Sack** "Finally! I needed that!" The girl said jumping up as the screen disappeared. Her bright reddish brown eyes sparkled as she ran towards town. She took a quick glance at her health though. _Rynn 1893/1283_ It said and she slightly smiled. _Not much damage today. I'm getting stronger. One step closer to beating this game._ She thought not paying attention to where she was running and ran right into a tree.

Walking through a peaceful meadow with a not so peaceful expression upon her scratched face, the warrior strolled rather nonchalantly with her large weapon slung over her shoulders casually, the shimmering ice-blue blade glinting in the rays of the early afternoon sun basking across her cream white skin and reflecting off the polished sheen of her plate armor. Bothersome she sighed to herself glowering down at the dust being kicked up under her feet. _Damn. I should've known that dungeon was high level. That boss nearly ripped me to pieces, and I'm all out of healing items._ She had enough Col at least for maybe a few healing potions, just enough to get her through another dungeon raid. As she made her way towards a player hub though, she noticed a young girl, perhaps a bit smaller than her, her auburn locks flailing about like the mane of a wild warhorse as her blade carved into the serpentine horror and brought it to a fitting end. Quite impressed was she with this player, that is...until she made her blunder. "Bwahahahahaaa!!!" Vega doubled over laughing heartily as the girl smacked into a tree after her victory over the snake monster. What a way to end it seemed. "You can slay even the most fearsome of creatures, yet you're bested by a single tree!"

"Shut up!" Rynn said standing up. Her eyes were clouded with anger. "At least I don't look like I went through a meat grinder." She retorted with a small smirk as she spun her blade and flawlessly slid it into it's sheath at her side.

"Pfft! Tell me about it." Vega muttered giving her heavy sword a twirl before stabbing it in the ground and leaning against it. "I would've taken on a serpent any day than go through that again. There was no way that monster was a level 86. Oh well, it was worth the XP. By the way, you got any healing items to lend?"

The girl with long blue hair and blue eyes walked through a forest route, out in the open just not really caring if she got attacked or anything. She wasn't necessarily a solo player, she was apart of an assassination guild who destroy red players. She lifted an eyebrow and looked in the direction behind her, to noticed that a bear was charging at her, she drew her dagger and ran at it with high speed. The bear slashed with his claws at her girl, but she smiled and jumped up high in the air, making the bear stand up on its legs as well. She spun her dagger in her hand and put both hands on the grip, she stabbed the bear about 4 times in the face before jumping back and checking its health. "200 left?" The girl said staring at the bear and watching its movements, the bear decided to charge at her again, she then smirked as she charged at the bear herself. When the bear raised itself to attack the girl, she slashed upwards with her dagger upwards, cutting into the bear. The bear fell back and shattered into small crystal like pieces and floated upwards, she looked at the screen before herself and groaned at what she got. **CONGRATULATIONS** **XP Gained: 547** **Col Earned: 150** **Items Earned: None** _Not even anything useful._ She thought to herself, she was disappointed that she didn't even get a material to make some better armor. She sighed as she started to walk down the road again, she noticed two who looked like were arguing. She looked away to try and not grab their attention, it was big enough that she was wearing assassin clothes. She only had one job to do after all, it was to kill red players.

Nathan would walk through the same valley, seeing several people surrounding a tree, he moves forward cautiously, bringing his scarf up over his mouth, examining them all and saying "Are you all a guild?" He says through the scarf material, making it sound somewhat muffled, his hands rested on his blades incase these guys are Pkers

Vega perked up at the question and turned around to see someone standing behind her. By the looks of his armor, she assumed he was an assassin, and already she was tensing up as he drew closer. "No....we're not." Suspiciously she answered him, her hands clenching the hilt of her blade and her body poised to strike. True, he was an assassin...but was he a player killer like the rest of the guild?

Rynn tossed a crystal to the other girl then faced the guy who asked a question. "Nope! I'm a solo player. I don't like guilds." She said

The girl stopped in her path and instantly looked in the direction of the girl with brown hair when she said 'I don't like guilds.' She grit her teeth but shook her head and looked towards the male with the scarf. She then gathered her courage and walked to him, she was wondering if he were strong, and if he had the skill to join her guild. "Oi." The girl said to the male, an emotionless look on her face.

Vega took the crystal, noticing the increase already _VEGA: 1850/2000_ "Well, wasn't much, but at least I can keep going. Thanks." She said to the brown haired girl, quickly noticing the other assassin who just...well..came from nowhere, typical of the sneaky bastards. Again she had to wonder, what was with all these assassins ganging up on them? And she still wasn't sure if they were part of the assassin's guild or just a couple of player-killers looking for fresh meat.

Nathan shrugs slightly, looking around "I was looking around for maybe a duo or quad group, Soloing gets boring after a while, y'know?" He would relax his position somewhat, glancing up at his half depleted health, and grunting, reaching into his bag and popping a HP Potion, quickly lowering his scarf and chugging it down, the glass that the HP Potion was in would practically disappear in a single instance "If you're interested..Floor 2 I guess, Farming the boss."

"I'd be willing to help fight a boss. I've got nothing better to do, leveling takes forever on these lower floors anyways." Rynn said crossing her arms. ((I'd say they have up to floor 21 unlocked but there's still mini-bosses roaming around.))

"Heh, well I guess after that little boost I'm up for it too." Vega chuckled lifting her sword over her shoulder and sheathing it behind her back. "Besides, I could use a bit more XP, plus who knows, maybe we'll come across some rare items."

A small wolf creture roamed carefully through a forest domain. All of a sudden a gleam of light appears and the creature is sliced to bits and a samurai looking figure is seen standing behind it as it fell to the ground and dies. _Congratulations_ _XP_ _Gained:_ _39_ _Col_ _Earned:_ _15_ "That's number 1,000 on this floor and no level huh? " He started to search and look around. "Maybe its time to stop grinding on level 1." The man stated as he walked out of the area.

This guy didn't even respond to her, she sighed and looked towards the other two. She quickly examined their personalities, and their choice of armor, she sighed once again before looking down the road. "..Red players.. need to go." The girl mumbled.

Ukberth wandered through the plains, slimes and boars around him that he dispatched over easily, despite his low level. He liked to roam these lands, it was fun to walk through the plains. The breeze was gentle but brisk enough to let him enjoy it well. The green grass and pure blue sky put him at ease, even in such a death game. Sighing as he rested his back on a large rock, he looked up to the sky. He should be trying to get money, but it was much too relaxing to sit here and rest his eyes. "I can get the cash some other time, besides, what if cronos comes back, then I won't even need to" he said to himself reassuringly.

Rynn broke away from the group and teleported down to floor one. Her brown hair was ruffled up.

"She was off in a hurry." The girl said, she was feeling a little warm from the armor that she was wearing, but it was needed. She looked at Vega and Nathan, still not knowing who they are, and they don't know who she is. Nobody should know her, she killed red players, she killed people who went insane.

Ukberth slowly drifted off into a serene slumber in the middle of the day, the heat of the sun keeping him more pampered and cozy than ever.

"Huh? Did...did I say something wrong?" Vega blinked awkwardly and scratched the back of her head after the brown haired girl left. She didn't even catch her name. Then again, Vega never gave hers. She turned towards the others left, the two assassins unfortunately. _Heh. I dare 'em to. One move and I'll take 'em down._ "So looks like it's just you guys left." Lightly she smiled.
