(Angels Diner)
"That was a nice cup of tea.", said Amaya.
"Yeah, it really really was good", Emi replied.
"Let's go."
"It's time to go to the forest already?",
"Yeah, we need to level you up and get money for clothes and better equipment.", said Amaya.
They walked out of the restaurant.
Amaya then thought to herself.
"Crap….did I forget to pay? No…..what am I saying? I never had any money to begin with. Hehe….guess I'm a criminal now."
They continued walking.
Once they had reached the exit of the town, Amaya looked at the forest. "Okay,let's head in."
They had been walking through the forest for about fifteen minutes now, but there was no sign of any monsters so far.
As they were walking, Emi turned her head to look at Amaya.
"Are we going to be able to find any monsters?"
"Yeah, I'm sure a monster or two will show up right about now.",
Emi and Amaya both suddenly stopped. They heard growling.
There were five Humanoid creatures with glowing red eyes and sharp claws. The color of their skin was dark brown.
Amaya looked a little bit frightened and thought to herself.
"Even though I know I'm in another world, I still haven't gotten used to the fact that monsters exist."
Amaya looked at the creatures.
(Shadow: Hp:250)
"They have pretty high health points compared to mine. This may be kinda difficult."
"Those monsters look really strong, but your stronger.", said Emi.
"She's right, I have experience in martial arts.", Amaya thought to herself.
(Shadow: Hp:250 Mp:0 Atk:25 Speed:50 Endurance:15)
"They're speed is faster than mine but I think I can pull this off."
Amaya stuck her tongue out at the monsters.
"You gyus look pretty weak."
The monsters growled as if they understood what she said.
They all ran at her. She quickly shoved Emi aside. The monsters quickly approach Amaya and rapidly slashed at her. Amaya's face went from looking confident to startled and surprised. She quickly moved with a mix of moving side to side and ducking. She had dodged all of the attacks.
"I don't know how I dodged all of those but I did it." Amaya thought to herself.
Amaya jumped back a couple steps to keep distance between her and the monsters. Amaya saw her health points lower.
(Amaya: Hp:40/90)
"Ow!" Amaya felt sharp pains in her arm and leg.
"So I guess two of their hits landed.", She thought to herself.
Katsu, who was standing at the entrance of the forest smiled and looked at the trees.
"Well, time to head in."
He began walking.
"I just need to get a couple Items to have myself a new weapon crafted and I'll leave."
After walking for about twenty minutes, he stopped. There was a tall buff animal with claws that were five to six inches long. It's skin was so dark that it looked like a shadow.
"Oh, so it's another shadow bear, huh? Sorry, tall guy but I don't feel like playing today.", The creature let out a loud roar and started to walk towards him. Katsu Let out a sigh.
"Sword, appear."
There was a bright flash of blue light that came from his right hand. He was now holding a silver colored sword with a black handle. The bear swung it's arm at Him. Katsu quickly ducked then shouted.
"Quick slash!"
There was a bright blue light that followed the swing of his sword. Three seconds of silence went by. The bear fell over into two pieces.
(Shadow Bear: Hp: 0/400) [Exp gained]
Katsu then looked up at the sky.
"Okay, time to move on."
One hit, then another. Amaya swung her fist at the shadow creatures. (Shadow: Hp:210/250)
"Time for the final move!!" She kept punching the creature. Her rapid punches lasted five seconds then suddenly, the creature fell backwards.
(Shadow: Hp: 0/0) [Exp gained]
The other four surrounded and rushed Amaya. One slash, then another. They each took turns attacking as she struggled to dodge and block every slash.
"I...can't keep up!"
As the creatures kept attacking, Amaya came up with an idea.
"If I can take one more of them down, then I can level up and my health points would be fully recovered."
She quickly jumped to the ground and rolled out of the little circle where they surrounded her. She then jumped to her feet and regained her balance.
One of the creatures ran and slashed at Amaya.
She leaned over to the left and kicked the creature's knee.
It fell and tumbled on the ground. Amaya jumped up in the air and stomped both of her feet down on it's torso. She pulled out her dagger and brought it down on its face. She brought it back up, then down on the creature's face once more. [Exp gained]
Amaya's level had risen from three to four.
She noticed that her health points were now higher than they previously were.
(Amaya: Hp:125)
At that moment, she heard footsteps coming up behind her.
She quickly turned around. The three creatures that were left rapidly slashing at Amaya. Amaya rapidly moved her hands to block each attack but One of the hits got through and slashed Amaya's arm.
(Amaya: Hp:100/126)
Out of anger, Amaya kicked one of the creatures in the face, pushing it back a good distance. Left, right, left right. She rapidly punches one of the shadows lowering its health.
(Shadow: Hp:230/250)
The other creature then launched a kick at Amaya. She ducked and swung her leg across the ground, knocking the shadow down. Amaya quickly stood up as she heard the other shadow coming from behind. It swung it's claws but Amaya dodged as she saw it coming. The creature swung it's claws once more. Amaya caught the creature's arm and swung her fist at its face. [Exp gained]
Amaya turned around and saw that the creature she had just knocked down was getting back up.
"Wait...where's the other one? Nevermind, it doesn't matter, I'll handle this one first."
Before The creature was fully Amaya grabbed it's head and swung her knee into its face. The hit knocked the shadow back but it was still on its feet. Amaya slammed her fist into the creature's chin.
[You have leveled up: Congrats on reaching level five. From this point on, Hp will not be recovered when leveling up.] The creature fell on its back.
"I guess I need to be more careful now. Alright, now that all the monsters are gone, I can check my stats.".
(Level:5 Hp:160 Mp:80 Atk:75 Armor:0 Speed:23 Endurance:20 Exp:100 Expn:500) After checking her stats, Amaya turned to look at the trees.
"You can come out now, Emi."
Emi peeked out from behind one of the trees and came out.
"Were they strong?" Emi asked.
"I guess they were kinda strong"
But Amaya knew how hard they were to deal with.
"Let's continue walking." Amaya suggested.
"Okay."
"I wonder why there aren't many monsters right now.", Katsu thought to himself.
He then heard a voice come from a dark part of the forest.
"Hello, human. Can I...have your blood?"
Katsu's face went from normal to defensive.
"Who's there?!"
"Ohhhh, do you want me to reveal myselffffff?" the voice asked.
"Hurry up and come out."
The person that was talking slowly came out. Katsu was surprised.It wasn't a person at all, It was a demon. It had long black horns and dark red hardened skin. Its claws were three to four inches long and it's eyes were fully white.
"This… Isn't going to be easy", Katsu thought to himself.
The demon grinned.
"Let's get this show started!!!"
The demon moved and was almost instantly in front of Katsu
The demon threw a barrage of attacks at Katsu. He was able to keep up and dodge.
After the demon stopped and Katsu saw an opening.
"Ice ball!"
A ball of ice appeared and launched at the Demon.
"Not today.." A large fireball Appeared and launched at the ice ball.
The collision created steam. Katsu could barely see when he heard a voice come from directly behind.
"...but nice try!"
Before Katsu could react, he was struck in the stomach. This impact sent katsu rolling across the ground.
(Katsu: Hp:312/437) He quickly jumped back on his feet.
"Sword, appear!" There was a flash of blue light.When the light had disappeared he was now holding his sword.
They both dashed at each other. Left, right, up, down. Katsu was swinging his sword rapidly. Right, left, right, left. The demon was rapidly swinging his fists as their attacks were colliding with one another.
Right before the demon's fist hit Katsu he activated his skill.
"Time slow!"
To katsu everything was now moving in slow motion.
"Quick slash."
He swung his sword at the demon's arm as a blue beam of light followed. The demon's arm came off and everything was moving at its normal speed. The demon backed off and put distance between the two.
"You are pretty good but, I think I should show you my demon speed now."
Katsu was shocked.
"What?!"
The demon smiled.
"Just give up."
"I guess I'll have to use my special skill," Kastsu said to himself.
Kastu looked up at the demon and yelled.
"Hundred clone slice!!!"
Suddenly, clones of Katsu appeared then started running towards the demon.
"Nice try, but that won't work."
The demon lifted his arm and a giant fireball appeared.
"Goodbye."
The fireball launched towards katsu.
Emi as she stopped walking.
"I'm tired."
Amaya stopped too.
"Yeah, I guess we should probably head back."
Suddenly, there was a big loud explosion nearby.
They both looked at the explosion.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Emi yelled.
"What the heck was that?!" Amaya asked.
She then thought to herself.
"I probably shouldn't be nosy but… I want to see what that was."
Amaya turned to Emi.
"Let's go check it out."
"But…" before Emi could finish her sentence, Amaya went running to where the explosion was. Emi followed and they stopped to hide behind a burnt tree. Amay peeked out and saw a man with spiky black hair who was struggling to stand.
Amaya then noticed the demon.
"Wait… that's a demon!" Amaya thought to herself.
Crunch
Amaya had accidentally stepped on a stick.
The demon turned to face the tree.
"Who's there!?"
"Guess I have to show myself now." Amaya thought to herself.
She stepped out from behind the tree.
"Another human? Haha, guess I'll kill you next."
Katsu smiled.
"Forget about me?"
The demon turned around but it was too late.
"Quick slash!!" Katsu swung his sword and the demons head came right off.
The headless demon then fell over.
Emi peeked her head out from behind the tree then and walked over to Amaya. Katsu turned and looked at them.
"Thanks for making and opening for me"
"Your welcome,I guess." Amaya replied.
"Arggghh!", the man suddenly kneeled down in pain.
"Take it easy. If you want, you can stay at the Inn with us."
"I… might just do that, thanks" He then fell over and passed out.
"Is he okay!" Emi yelled.
"I'm sure he's okay, I think."
