Andrew got up from his chair and went straight to his bed
His mind raced
He did have girlfriends, he did kiss but never nothing after that, but that felt like something more
He could still feel her tongue
"Ok..ok calm down...calm down... you'll get over this....you cannot fall in love with an npc...righ?"
"Aaaaah"
He didn't know what to do, it was a game but again it felt so real
His heart started to beat faster
He looked at his alarm clock on a table besides his bed
22:00
After he realized how late it was his stomach started grumbling
"Alright i can through this, i have more important things to worry about"
He opened the door to his room and slowly peeked out
He moved down to the kitchen
He took a knife out, 2 slices of bread and 2 jars one peanut butter and the other one jelly
The knife slowly spread the butter and the jelly
Sister: Fancy seeing you here
Andrew jumped a little
Andrew: Please don't scare me like that
Sister: Oh hunger brought you out of your batcave
He looked at her and back at the bread
Sister: Why are you blushing? Did a girl call you or something?
Andrew closed the jars and put them back in their place
Sister: Come on you can talk to your sister about it
Andrew barked out
Andrew: I don't want to talk about it
He ran back to his room
Sister: So aggressive
She giggled a bit
Sister: This ought to be interesting
Andrew closed his bedroom door and slid down it
He started slowly eating his pb&j but he could get her out of his mind and her being Reyna
He knew what it meant
Love
His heart has been broken too many times for Andrew to let himself fall in love
But the heart doesn't follow the brain
Why? he asked himself
Why an npc?
Is she even an npc?
He went over to his chair and woke his PC from its slumber
TOC wiki once more
His mouse hovered over the search function
Vampirism
That's what his hands typed in
Note: Vampirism may only occur in npcs
Welp, i guess screw it
He closed the tab and turned the pc off
He stood up from his chair and walked towards his bed
Screw it
thud
His body dropped on the bed, face in his pillow
The next morning
beep
beep
his digital alarm clocked waked his sleeping body
Ugh Andrew groaned
He turned the alarm clock off and got up from his bed, he put on a shirt and pants and walked down to the kitchen
A note and a few sandwiches were waiting for him at the kitchen table
He looked at the note
"Me,mom and dad went to the shops. We will be awaz for a while so don't burn the house down"
Andrew smiled a little while taking the plate with the sandwiches upstairs to his room
He sat down at his computer and listened to some music while eating the sandwiches
After a few minutes he put his headset on, and appeared back in the smithy
Einslie quickly looked around the smithy
A notification popped up: Auction house item sold
Reyna:What are you looking around for?
Einslie jumped a little
Einslie: Please don't do that...i might have a heart attack
Reyna: We can't have that...i need that blood pumping
A shiver went down Einslies spine
Einslie: Anyways...i think Thorik might need some help and if i remember correctly i also sold something at the auction house
Reyna:You aren't leaving yet
Einslie:Umm..what?
Reyna: I waited the whole night for you...i'm getting more and more hungry
Einslie: So i'm like a blood repository?
Reyna giggled
Reyna:Yes
Her mouth watering and fangs showing
"Oh god damnit, what did i get myself into now?" Einslie thought
Einslie: Fine, but just because you saved me from the jail
Reyna stepped in front of Einslies body, she bent down a little a bit into his neck
"Hmmm...this ain't half bad"
"No..no keep a hold of yourself Andrew"
-2hp
-2hp
-2hp
Einslie:Done
She took her fangs out of his soft neck
Pwuah
Einslie:Why are you blushing?
She put both of her hands in front of her face
Covering it's beauty
Reyna: You just taste so good, i want to eat you up
Einslie: Thanks i guess
Einslie started walking towards the exit door of the smithy
Reyna: Would you ummm....
Einslie sighed
Einslie: What?
Reyna: Kiss me?
Einslie:No
Reynas form transformed into a massive shadow that traveled to the door in a blink of an eye
"Oh come on"
There the shadow transformed back into a humanoid shape
She bent down a little and waited a little
Einslie took a few steps forward and kissed Reyna on her left cheek
"Huh for a vampire not that cold"
Reyna: You have to meet my parents
Einslie:Oh no,no,no no
He quickly opened the door and shut it behind himself
"Aaaah what's happening?!"
He quickly walked in the direction of the auction house
At the auction house Einslie found an npc that wasn't preoccupied with the bickering of the other players
Npc: Hello what can i help with?
Einslie: Yes umm... i put an item for auction and i got a message that it was sold
Npc: What's your name?
Einslie: Einslie
Npc: Ah yes
The npc took a pouch from underneath its desk and put the pouch in front of Einslie
Npc: The Iron Hauberk of the resolute sold for 400 crowns, please take the pouch
Einslie: Holy ****
He took the pouch
You got: 400 crowns
Einslie immediately loged off
He took his headset off
And searched TOC crowns to USD
400 crowns=2 USD
Not bad, could be better
He logged back
"I should go back to the smithy"
Back at the smithy
Thorik: Oh hey Reyna left you a note
Einslie: Oh no she did?
Thorik handed him the note
Einslies hands trembled while opening the note
"What is it gonna be now?"
"Buy a doublet, and at night be in the smithy"
"I guess i can do that"
Einslie: Hey Thorik?
Thorik: Yes?
Einslie: Where would i buy a doublet?
Thorik: You have to go to a tailor for that
Einslie opened his map
"Tailor,tailor....oh found it"
Einslie: Ok i'm going to a tailor
Thorik: Don't forget the iron ore i need! I gave you the bag for a reason
Einslie: Don't worry i'll get it
He left the smithy, closing the door behind him
Outside he turned right and walked straight for 10 minutes
He stood in front of the looming building
As he opened the door and stepped inside he noted the sweet aroma, and the splendour of the inside
Left and right of him were dresses,pants, doublets and also a sectioned off part behind a curtain
?: Kon'nichiwa customer what are you looking for?
Einslie walked towards the desk behind which the figure stood
Einslie: Hi umm...
?:Limalia
"They have a very androgynous face" Einslie thought
Einslie: Well i would like to buy your cheapest doublet
Limalia: For a level 1 that's gonna be 400 crowns
Einslie: That's like all my money!
Limalia: Well equipment like this is expensive, it's mostly used for high class parties and guild meetings and such
Einslie: Ye...i get it
Einslie took out all of his crown and put the pouch on the table
Limalia: Thank you very much for your purchase
Einslie: Sure
Limalia: Alright i'll brb with your item
They turned around and ran up a flight of stairs behind them
Einslie noticed the plump butt the thin legs and a chest flat as a kitchen table
"What gender are they?"
After a few seconds of thinking Einslie decided it would be better to not think about it
"But where is Reyna taking me that i need clothing for parties"
Limalia ran back down the stairs
Limalia: I got it!!
They handed Einslie a doublet
You got: Plain Doublet
Einslie: Hey can i ask something?
Limalia: Sure go ahead
Einslie: What's with the curtain? what's behind it
Limalia: Oh that's for our more risque costumers
They said while blushing
Limalia: Would you like to see?
Einslie: I mean...sure i guess
Einslie and Limalia started walking towards the sectioned off part
After a while they appeared behind the curtain
Einslies noticed the stacks of lingerie with holes where private parts are located, sexy outfits, cat ears, and much more
Einslie: Oh this is for erp isn't it?
Limalia squirmed little
Limalia: Yes
They said while blushing
Einslie: I better go
Wait they yelled as they grabbed Einslies arm
Limalia: I'm in the mood
Einslie: No,no, no, nope, hell naw
He started running out of the place
"Ugh what the hell was that, so many weirdos"
"What do i have next....oh yeah iron for Thorik and than.... something with Reyna"
"Alright i should get going"
At the entrance to the old mine
"Phew finally here"
Einslie wiped the sweat from his forehead
Einslie started mining the ore inside the mine with his rusted pickaxe
Dink
Dink

You got: 2x Iron ore
You got: 15 exp
"Wait 15? That's a twentieth of the exp i need, this is damn good...no i would even call this op"

Back at the smithy
Einslie: I have the iron! Thorik
Thorik: Great i have the furnace ready to go
Einslie: For what though?
Thorik: Well as a blacksmiths appreciate you also have to have some good armor
Einslie: I guess
Thorik: Let's get to it
The furnace heated up as it started to melt the iron
Thorik started to pour the molten iron into ingot molds
30 ingots were laid out in front of Einslie
7 for the cuirass, 5 for the helmet, 2 for the gloves, 6 for the cuisse, 3 for greaves, and 3 for sabatons
Thorik took 4 of the ingots to the side
Thorik: Those are going to be used for the Hauberk
Unknown Location
Einslies hauberk lay on a huge wooden table
3 players stood around the table
??: That's it?
??: Well yeah, it's Tarc nobody above level 30 stays there
??: But still it's only iron
One of the players smacked their fist down onto the table
??: I am not willing to farm the baron for 8 hours a day to get maybe one epic!!!
