Living in Aincrad: a SAO RP

"Death game...." He said with a somewhat amused look on his face, fate had actually listened to his wishes at last. He had logged later than most, actually he was one of the last to log on due to some cultural issues with the landlord. That was all the past, since now Providence was upon him. Then and there as he was looking in the mirror provided by the GM, seeing his golden eyes turn blue and silver hair turn matted blond, he decided that in this world he would do as he pleases.

And for close to two weeks he did...at times stealing at times begging. He was always just barely avoiding a permanent orange name, he never fought thou. Neither monsters nor duels. But anyone would get bored of this after a while, hitting this critical point Kingetsu, wandered down to the market, with a specific goal in his head. In fact his goal was to find a reason to get of his ass and go kill something. And there it was on a craters table labled exotic weapons. A three bladed claw like weapon, while he still hadn't acquired any appraisal skills he could only tell the general stats, which seamed better than his Short Sword. With a barely contained enthusiasm he asked the NPC the price of the desired item. The seemingly busy NPC halted his crafting to deliver the price: "That'll 500 col...." Kingetsu waved his hand in front of the NPC saying in a almost chanted voice "You want me to have if, you'll give it to me for free..." The NPC just returned to work announcing over his shoulder in a sour tone "Come back when you've got col." Suddenly that morning of the 14th? game day had become his save point

As he made for the city gates a new idea struck him and striking a Power Rangers pose he half yelled "I want to be a Merchant". Nothing actually happened thou, a little ashamed of his action he ran to the gates. Two weeks ago the fields around the city where so overly populated that monsters ended up being fought over, now...pretty much the same, while some had advanced, most where still too afraid to go beyond the wolves. "Whatever tickles their fancy..." He shrugged. As he looked over the field he didn't actually spot any mobs, just players waiting or running to catch a boar or another, other than that only green plains. But before actually going try and catch one of the mobs he unsheathed the blade and slashed a few times at the air to get used to the weapon. Opening the skill menu he equipped the 2 available skill slots <1-handed sword> and <Leather Armor> since they seemed as the best options having both a defensive and offensive power. A tool tip appeared next to it as Kingetsu hovered his finger over them, which let him know how to use each skill. Using this chance he took a quick peek at his inventory. As barren as always, not one Col to spare. With a sour taste in his mouth he closed the inventory. Then he struck the pose needed to perform the skill. With the weapon resting above his right shoulder he activated the skill. The skill was done in an instant. The rigidity made it's presence felt but it was just an instant. With practice done he moved onto the field for his first encounter.

Sadly a loner had it quite rough with numerous parties grinding all over. When he finally got first to a boar he was so out of breath that his skill nearly missed. Instead of hitting the beasts neck he activated the skill and it fell on its back, much tougher than expected. The cut turned red as it's hp depleted. While the blow did bring the HP in down somewhat it was by no means strong enough to kill. And now that the boar turned to attack all the bravery that he gained within the city seemed to vanish. The piercing red eyes of the boar fixed him as it prepared to strike with it's tusks. The swing came slower than expected and Kingetsu jumped back. Now with some distance placed between the the boar charged. With his feet stable on the ground Kingetsu waited until the last moment to jump to the side, the landing was by no means gracious as he landed on his stomach. Scrambling to his feet, he prepared to to take the hit. As the boar had already started turned back for another charge. Getting ready he attempted to hit the boar while it charged. The parry stopped the actual charge but damage was still applied due to the boar's kinetic force. The pig tumbled into Kingetsu as some sort of tackle attack. His health bar took a good hit, but as he got up it seemed that the boar had taken more damage from both the parry and the crash. A swift slash to the neck was enough to take it down for good. A status window appeared as the boar dissipated in a multicolored cloud of pixels.

"One down, a horde to go..." He bitterly said, as he prepared headed for the next one. This time it went smoother, first <Slant> then a <Parry> followed by some deft slashes took it down. Not before it took a swing at Kingetsu's HP thou, now down to 70% it appeared that he would be at least able to level. Since his XP bar was at 24%. After a short verification of his skill window and status window he continued his killing spree. Three mobs later he was left with 50% HP and just 40% XP needed for the next level he was quite sure he would make it in time. Now having gotten the hang of both Parry and Slant skills it actually took more time to get to the next monster than to kill it. Thus he made quick work of the last 4 mobs needed to level up, well as quick as he could find them. From the notification window he added all three points to strength which would probably boost his <Slant> enough to 1 shot boars. In the end he actually can't believe that what should have taken him a measly 5 minutes took him over 3 hours, disheartened at the idea that he probably can't get his hands on the new weapons today he trudges back toward the city to heal and rest for a while.

As I said Fields are f*in large...at least from what I saw from the anime

Living in Aincrad: a SAO RP

I didn't mean fighting them at the same time
1 mob at a time plus, the spawn rate wouldn't be as harsh on me since most players have moved on from boars after 2 week...I presume
And those that haven't well they'll be hidden inside the city

So basically it's just me and probably some others I haven't meet at the time fields are f* large

This considered I kinda have my pick of monsters...

Living in Aincrad: a SAO RP

In SAO do you regain HP at level up?

EDIT: Also is there a limit of mob slaying per post?
Got 9 in there already, although in a mmo this would be considered less than 5 minutes how is it considered here?

Living in Aincrad: a SAO RP

If you want a mmo that has that look at Lineage 2 dwarf female

In Name Game: Kingetsu [Kin(Gold) Getsu(Moon)]

Image

Age:28
Gender: Male
Looks: Due to his Dutch origin he measures a head higher than most people, a head that stands out in a crowd too. Blue eyes and pale skin hue, complete with long matted blond hair that flows over his shoulders. His rebel age left him with no extra holes on his face, not that he was against such things, but it proved to be too bothersome. Black Light leather armor with dark green trim donned his normal frame, neither skinny nor buff. The high contrast between his pale skin and dark threads is shown around his hands to since no gloves are currently equipped. The short sword slung to his side.

Short Bio: With humble beginning he never got around to play PC or console games all that much as a kid. What others played on the latest Okama Sphere or whatever new console had just launched he was usually watching walkthroughs on YouTube. Maybe that's why he became more and more attracted to such games later in his life. His teenage years where split between work and school, then just work trying to keep the family business afloat. His only escape was on FtP MMOs that brought no real satisfaction. Neither did anime or manga anymore, although translating was quite fun.

Luck struck him out of nowhere when he got accepted for the grand opening of the new VMMORPG produced by a Japanese company. On a never before encountered whim, he packed the little shit he had and after a quick visit to the bank, where he withdrew all his savings, he started of on the longest vacation of his life.

With the little English he knew and some basic Japanese learned as he sometimes volunteered in manga translations, he managed to get around and in the end acquire both the NerveGear and cheep accommodations for a week. Time to play.

Personality: In Japan he would probably be called a shut in, if he didn't work, that is. Regularly finding himself wanting for something weird to happen, like something out of Rift or at least a break in at his work place. But as life is truly a bitch, stuff like that never truly happens. On the other hand the reason he is like this, is severely tied to his temperament. As a pure phlegmatic, he always tries to please everyone and avoid conflicts, even mediate ones that don't concern him. In game thou he will try to go against his nature. Another inherent trait is his laziness, and against this one, one fan never win. Laziness rubs off on his looks.

Also...can one weapon be reforged into another weapon type? Like bringing a sword to a blacksmith so he can make a scythe or w/e
