Chapter 18 - Brooks Drunken state

Urza sits down, he's mentally tired from all the comforting he had to give to Eliza for her to completely accept their death and not hang a pinata party with her self.

[Quest Complete, Congratulations on your first quest, due to your casual and relaxed approach you are rewarded with 2 {Charisma} points]

[You leveled up x2]

[You've been given the chance to gain a new skill. Will you accept? Y/N]

"Fucking hell, why are you so noisy all of a sudden, are you entertained!?" Urza says as he relaxes his neck causing his head to fall back. "Fine, yes I accept" Urza says as a pair of dice are appear him.

[Roll dice for a skill]

[2-4 are Common skills, 5-8 are Uncommon to Rare, 9-12 are Epic to Unique]

"Fuck, you really like pissing me off don't you!?" says Urza kicking the dice.

[You have rolled an 11, Congratulations you've gained the skill {Prestige}.]

[Due to your low stats you're unable to use the skill at the moment]

"Then how is it useful!?" shouts Urza slamming his fist into the stone sidewalk. Urza groans for another five minutes until he finally gets up.

"Fuck this, I'm tired" says Urza, he is a very simple man. Urza drags his feet to the entrance to the city. The same guards from last time are still there, they appear to be malnourished and tired. Urza pays them no attention as he walks out the gates.

Urza's feet drag across the ground creating a crunching sound every time he steps.

*Crack* A very distinct noise came from the left and right of Urza. Urza pays no mind and continues to walk.

"Your doing a poor job at staying quiet" says Urza taking out a rock and throwing it into the tree line. "Ha, guess you're not dumb after all!" says a man in a pitch black robe, giving the effect of an invisible man in the night. This man is Brook. Brook removes his hood with a large bottle in one hand and a two-handed sword in the other. "You attacked me last time didn't you?" says Urza turning around facing Brook and as staring into his dazed eyes. "Hey punk don't look at me!" shouts Brook pointing to the left of Urza.

Urza confused doesn't let this opportunity got to waste, he attacks Brook from the front. Brook takes a swig of his wine before blocking the attack with one hand welding his sword, they strike of two metal objects made a high pitched screech. "Your not bad kid!" says Brook putting his second hand on the handle of the sword and pushing Urza. "Likewise!" Urza said pushing back with force similar to Brooks. At this moment cracks appeared across the ground from their feet. An explosive force pushed from their swords clashing over and over again.

Another push of force comes from both of them as they push once again with an explosive force. Another cracking sound resounds, different from the ground but similar to metal. Urza's sword gave signs of breaking, as Brooks stood true.

'I won't last long if we keep going like this' Urza thought pulling a monument similar to Maui Tai. He rolled across Brook's arm, pushing his elbow into Brook's chin. This made Brook stumble backwards making him drop his wine. "How dare you! That cost a months wages!" Brook shouted kneeling down towards his alcohol. "And..." Urza tried to continue the conversation hoping for more of an opening. Brook sobs punching the ground, "It was my favourite, and a limited addition flavour, you dick!" says Brook eyes swollen and pulling multiple middle fingers towards Urza.

Urza stands still throwing his remaining coins at Brook, hitting him in the forehead.

"Shut up and take the money, asshole" Urza said sheathing his sword and walking towards his cabin. Brook was knocked unconscious by the train bag of coins.

Five Hours later:

"Ow, what the fuck!" Brook shouts grabbing the coins and holding it up to inspect it. "Sunnova.." Brook crushes the bag making coins spill out.

"Sorry, I don't know anyone by that name" A voice from behind him resounded. "Master!" Brook got up and knelt before him. "If you're wondering what happened, your best watching it on the crystal ball, so many things happened" Master sigh pointing back towards the city's entrance.

Urza arrives to his cabin, smashing I the door and laying on the bed, he received a notification from the system.

[You've beaten someone stronger than you! Reward: 200 XP]

[You've Leveled up!]

[Someone has gained animosity towards you]

Urza smirks and closes the tabs before falling to sleep, gear still equipped.
