Re: Player

"It looks so real!"

"Hey! Punch me!"

-Punch!

"Ow! It stings a little! Hahahaha!"

"Idiots!"

"Can we take off all our clothes?"

"Eww! What are you doing?!!"

"Tch! We can\'t take off our pants!"

All sorts of players play the game. And you find varieties from the very start… that is the nature of players no matter where you go.

And one such player, Fredrick Ebony, wasn\'t much different from the others. Curious, excited, he has been looking forward to this game for a very long time.

He had played a copious amount of games before, but nothing serious enough to make his career. He played for fun. For him, money was secondary to gaming. It was a fun activity and not a job.

If one started playing like it was a job, then they may even lose the little interest they have in what they truly enjoy.

"So. Where should I begin this time?" Fredrick, or in this game world, Black Scythe, looked at the realistic medieval streets around him.

While most people were mesmerized, Black Scythe started walking down the alleyways immediately. That is where the hidden quests are in general.

His gaming senses tingled as he began walking from one alley to another, where he found less and less people present in those parts.

"The NPCs are too real in this game," he felt a chill down his spine looking at the strange gazes of those people from the Border Town. But paying no heed, he kept walking until he reached a street where the people were scarcer than in the center area.

Black Scythe looked around to find anything worth noticing. Whether it was the streets, the people, the houses, anything was useful, as long as it felt interesting.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

And behind him was a girl standing in black clothes. At her top was a blinking blue coloured name,

[Raven. Level 1]

She was another player like him.

"What do you want?" Black Scythe asked as he looked at Raven, who seemed curious about what Black Scythe was doing.

"I just saw you running away. You are trying to find a hidden quest, aren\'t you?" She smiled as she saw right through Black Scythe, while he sighed.

It was true that he was smart. But that doesn\'t mean others weren\'t.

"What if I am?" He asked in an irritated voice. He liked to play alone… or more like he had a hard time playing with anyone else. They were either too prideful or weren\'t good enough to play with him.

"Let me join you. You seem smarter than the other bunch who were too mesmerized to capitalize on what was important," she spoke as she began looking around to find anything special within the streets as well.

"Excuse me-" Black Scythe was about to reject her, but then Raven spoke up,

"What\'s that?"

Raven pointed to a certain shop at the end of the street. It seemed a little cleaner than the rest of the area, and the banner gave a rather odd vibe.

Black Scythe looked at that shop as he spoke out.

"Everyday Arrays?"

While the first part \'Everyday\' seemed normal, \'Arrays\' were something that tingled his inner gamer, making him smile a little. Raven was the same as him, smiling with excitement, before she turned to Black Scythe.

"Let\'s go before anyone else comes up."

Holding Black Scythe\'s hand, she then dragged him towards the shop before they appeared in front of it.

The shop looked clean and neat. Though there was nothing ordinary about it, both the Players couldn\'t help but have the feeling that they were onto something special.

Slowly opening the door, Black Scythe entered the shop with Raven in stride.

"Welcome to Everyday Arrays! How may I help you?" A beautiful girl, wearing a witch-like costume, stood at the counter, with another sorting out a couple of books in the shop.

"Ummm… we are here… to see what you are selling," Raven spoke first as she looked at the two NPCs, who looked like sisters. Though before Raven could take even one step, Black Scythe held her hands and stopped her.

"What?" Raven asked, confused, before Black Scythe pointed,

"Look at their names."

And only then she observed the sisters\' heads.

[Leena Lvl. 128!]

[Anna Lvl. 178!]

Being with Adam and learning for over 3 months, both Leena and Anna got stronger at an insane rate, becoming one of the strongest in the town. They were among the top 10 strongest people in this town right now.

The colors of their names and statuses were white, so that means they were neutral. Neither friendly nor against them.

And though shocked, both of them calmed down quickly. All this number meant was to not offend the sisters, and they were fine. If they somehow got against these sisters, nobody knows what would happen to them.

"We have some arrays that you might like. And since you are our first customers from the Other-worlders, you both get a 30% discount on all our products," Leena spoke as Adam instructed them to.

Their eyes shone brightly as they heard that statement before they both moved towards Leena to look at what they were selling.

"How much money do you have?" Raven asked as she looked at those arrays for a few minutes, while Black Scythe looked at Raven with an odd look.

"The starter amount. 20 Copper coins. Why do you ask?" He asked her, wondering if she got any more or any less.

"I got 34 copper. Found a couple of coins lying about the streets," Raven had a little smug face as she looked at the dumbfounded face of Black Scythe.

"You can do that?!" Shocked, he looked at Raven, who laughed a little before asking,

"If you have [Lesser Arrays], that means that you must also have [Arrays] and [Greater Arrays]?"

Leena looked at that girl before pondering for a while before speaking,"I can show you the normal [Arrays] but for the [Greater Arrays], I would need to talk with my master."
