"How are you guys able to find me so fast?" Dracard asked as he was running
He ran as fast as he could, moving in between trees hoping to lose them in vain.
"If you couldn't tell I'm a beast man and they have better senses for tracking than any other race." He said as he chased Dracard through the forest.
The other two are close behind them the elf girl is having some difficulty, but is keeping up because of Dracards low stats
"Just get him already, I'm about to die here!" She yelled in anger and exhaustion.
The quiet one is just fine and hasn't lost their breath yet.
If Wild_Wolf_King wanted to he could outpace everyone here and catch Dracard whenever he wants.
The reason he's so much faster than the other two is that he's already got his class and has its benefits. The other two don't have classes yet but are building their stats for their future classes.
"Fine, you're no fun." he grumbled
Suddenly as Dracard was running his right leg was cut off causing him to fall. But before he died he was healed by someone back up to full however his leg was not recovered. He hit a tree and rolled to face the PKers.
luckily the pain settings are set to 30% by default
"What could you possibly gain by doing this?" Dracard asked the relentless PKers with great annoyance and slight pain in his voice.
"What you ask?" Wild_Wolf_King sighed as he got close to Dracard and cut his other leg off as it was cut off the girl cast heal to stop the bleeding.
"HEAL, Don't cut him up so suddenly I need to catch my breath." She complained trying to steady her breathing.
"Jeez first you tell me to hurry the slow down make up your mind will ya." he retorted sarcastically
"Shut up, it's your fault for taking your time in getting him." she said as she was resting on a nearby rock on the right of them.
"...." the quiet one leans on a tree to their left to try and look cool
"I have no real reason to tell you but I'll tell you anyway." He said in a sadistic tone.
"Come on man, just cut him already. I'm tired and wanna eat something" the mage complained from the right of them.
"...." the quiet one nodded his head in agreement.
"I'm getting there, just give me a minute " he retorted.
"Fine but only one ok, I wanna get back and finish up our quest and take a bath, I didn't even know you could get sweaty in a game but it's uncomfortable.." She complained.
"...." the quiet one said nothing as usual and was leaning on the tree with their arms crossed and Their eyes closed trying to act cool.
"Ok, where was I? Oh, yea in the middle of dismembering you." then cut off his left arm, and heal was used to stop the bleeding again, this time she was more prepared for it.
"Since I'm not going anywhere any time soon, how about telling me the reason for the dismemberment?" he panted out in slight pain in a tired tone.
"If you must know, I was given a mission by our viewers to cut off all your limbs and leave you here.
If I succeeded in not one-shotting you, we will get gold coins but that's a streamer thing I don't want to get into detail about.
And since your infamy stat is lower than your fame stat I can kill you without getting any pk build-up." He answered as he was about to cut off Dracards last arm. a horrendous blood-curdling howl was heard from just behind them.
turning they see a monster bigger than a bear, standing on its hind legs, It stands around 13 feet tall. It has big long arms that end with large claws. Its head was small in comparison to its body but was big enough to take a person's head off. Its teeth were so long, sharp, And jagged that they jutted out of the mouth of the monster.
'Wait this is.' upon seeing the monster his body went cold realizing they have entered the territory of The Sabertooth Beaver.
"SABERTOOTH BE-" he died before he could even try to tell his party to run as the Sabertooth Beaver moved in close and in one fluid motion used one of its long arms and sliced him to pieces.
Luckily Dracard and the others were out of the attack's range.
Just after his death both the girl and the quiet person were shocked by his sudden death.
"YOU BASTARD MANA BIND QUICK I'LL HOLD IT YOU GET A BACKSTAB NOW!." She yells in anger that her friend just died in front of her. as quickly as she could she cast her spell to bind the Sabertooth Beaver.
The quiet one, not 100% sure what to do in this situation followed her lead and went for the backstab like she asked, this however was a mistake.
As they got behind the Sabertooth Beaver it easily broke free of the binding spell. It then flexed its huge beaver tail up and hit the wanna-be assassin into the air contorting their body in an unusual way, killing him before he even hit the ground.
Scared by the quick death of her other friend and it breaking her spell she decided to make a run for it.
However, the Sabertooth Beaver had other plans. It used a powerful roar skill that caused the stun effect and some damage to her which made her fall to the ground dead.
Dracard suffered the same fate and died when the monster used its skill.
The most terrifying thing he saw during that whole fight was the Level of the monster and how it went from level 20 [E] with four skulls to level 21 [E] with six skulls.
Side note: monsters unlike humans have ranks. The rank is like a power multiplayer. E-ranks get times 2 to all of their stats. The skulls tell you how difficult it would be for you to kill such a monster. but killing such a monster would give you lots of bonus rewards.
[Ding you have died.
you have lost all of your noobie lives and will suffer the 8-hour IRL death penalty. once the death penalty ends the noobie lives will be reset to 10.
better luck next time.
Logout: (YES)]
Dracard logged out and then took off the headset. He then took a deep breath and started to laugh uncontrollably for 10 minutes.
"I can't believe that just happened." he said in between laughter and gasping for air.
After calming down a little he decides to text his friends about what just happened.
He spent a few hours texting his friends.
>so how's your playthrough been going< Dracard asked
< your lucky I've been harassed by the players all day.>
>says the girl that modeled her character after that attractive anime protagonist. What was her name again? also you are a week ahead of me how aren't you there yet? <
<...>
>...<
>isn't a little late for that.<
>Really I thought more time had passed!<
<"Time.">
>?<
After dropping her phone the three of them went out to eat and talk about the game
"So how was that level 20 Sabertooth beaver so strong and why did its level go up?" Jack asked as he was eating ramen.
"Well, they made the game so everything in it can gain experience and level up." Sam said as he was drinking a Nonbrad carbonated drink.
"Did you not read anything on the forums or the news this past week?" Amelia asked
"Sorta I don't watch the news because their stuff is really boring and I only looked up stuff about the races and class. Oh and about that new meta." jack said
"Well, anyway what rank was it?." Sam said
"Rank?"
"There would have been a letter next to the monster's level."
"Oh really uh… I don't really remember, I was sorta in the middle of dying at the time."
"Just so you know a monster's rank tells you how strong it is."
"Yea and because of that most players underestimate some monsters because of their low level but if they have a high rank you should take caution when fighting them."
"Oh, ok."
After eating and discussing the game some more on the way back they stopped by a store to get Amelia's phone fixed and then went back to their own homes.
