Chereads / kingdom of honey and daggers / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Wolf's head is slitting with pain. As her senses slowly return she can feel the hot sand she is trying to block the light still. This feels too real she thinks. Also feeling something warm and sticky, finding the power to sit up and look at the sand with blood is baking in the sand. She touches her head and blood is dried in her long hair, blending into her raven coloured hair. She looks at her clothes they are but torn brown rags drying blood is between her legs. This alarming realization makes her look around a destroyed convo of animal pulled carts people lay dead everywhere. Till she spots 2 men doing something, she squints trying to make out what is happening through the heat rising off the sand. What can only be described as a horror scene to men are having intercourse with a corpse. Her eyes go wide. She nearly throws up at the site of all the death, covering her mouth, and swallowing her fears. 

A voice chimes through her head a soft femmie but robotic emotionless voice. "Skill level increased… skill: courage  tier immortal increase lvl to 145" she blinks, I will need to worry about this prompt later. She looks up to see a gladis half buried in the sand. She grabs the hilt, as she does a boot steps on her hand. An old ugly man in robes stands over her now blocking her view of the other to men. The man sneers at her and turns yelling at the other to men "YOU IDIOTS, I TOLD YOU TO KILL THEM FIRST" his voice sounds like rough gravel. As he turns back to look at Wolf. Sand strikes him in the eyes, the man steps back hissing in pain, grabbing the hilt and leaping to her feet. Wolf slashes at the man to meet a magic barrier. The voice in her head echoes again "skill increase… all skills from past life memories raise to appropriate levels. Skill level with sword… teir master  increase lvl to 101" her eyes go wide at what just pasted threw her mind in an instant.

Without thinking about it she makes an arcane symbol with her left hand. Again the voice chimes again "skill increase… skill magic…. school alteration…. Skill level with alteration tier intermediate  increase lvl to 30" the barrier shatters, and her sword continues into the mage's throat as he goes to speak "whaa…." It becomes a gurgling wet of blood as the sword sinks deep into his throat coming out the other side of his neck. Wolf twists her body, removing his head from his shoulders, only to hear the ting of metal blade she is holding shatter into several pieces. Hearing the voice again "the durability of iron gladis has hit 0. item destroyed" looking at the hilt in her hand "oh fuck" escapes her lips. In the time this process she had a sense of incoming danger, she jumps backwards as a scimitar slashes where she was just a second ago. Looking up to she the two men who were ravaging the corpes had Simi redressed. She looks them up and down "both growers I see" they both grow more irate at her insult. The voice again "Skill increases… skill taunt… skill tier immortal increase lvl to 807" As they go to respond she uses 2 arcane symbols with her now empty hands a dust and fire Strom kicks up at their feet quickly in golfing them in flames. Their screams quickly die out. "Skill increases… skill magic… school destruction… skill tier GOD increase lvl to 1000''... she breathes out a sigh of relief looking around the field of battle. 

She sees notices in the corner of her vision a blinking inductor. Looking around the battlefield for more…not seeing anyone she focused the notification. The voice pops into her head, "Greetings I am… searching memories for name…" elevator music starts to play… 

"Ummm okay" she thinks back to the voice

After a moment "Name found I am Fi. This name came up alot as a guide"

"At least it isn't Navi. Okay Fi, explain skills"

"Currently cannot setup not finished. We must access your character sheet."

"Okay but can you explain why some of my skills are so high already while I pull up my character sheet" Wolf zones out pulling up her character sheet. 

As the character sheet pulls up "Your skill are high because you have many skills from several past live in your memories… like from your life in elder scolls V skyrim" the character sheet full pull out in front of her. 

Name:

Race: half Meliae/human hybrid - you Meliae half give 2 point to charisma state each level and you will receive 3 free point every level to distribute for each level.

Stop reading and directing questions to Fi. "Fi two questions 1) I am half Meliae as in a nymph of honey, bees, and honeydew?"

Thinking for a moment… that honestly shouldn't be so surprising. Several Guys and women back in my old like would dream of getting down with a nymph that just saved.

"And 2) Fi why don't have a name?" 

The voice response in its now customary monotone voice "in answer to your first question yes. Your are half human half Meliane. This is rare, but not unheard of in The Golden Reach. And the second is you as an adventurer must pick your name… i shall call you though… Mistress"

Wolf rolls her eyes "please dont she thinks back at Fi, master in skyward sword was bad enough" mentally selecting name the it pulls up the land Wolf times in Wolf only to be greeted with a red prompt this is too short and will have you confused with the holy creatures on this land and the the 3 wolf Gods themselves. Wolf stops blinking, eyes opening wide. Speaking aloud this time "Holy creatures and 3 wolf Gods, that is a new one" trying again she makes changes Name Wolfie as she tries to enter more it starts adding to itself. Wolfie of Arrowfall. Looking at the name and it not sounding too bad she locks it in. continuing with the thought back to Fi "okay so i have a lot of question, but i have a name i need to go through my character sheet

But most importantly it looks like we are in a desert. I will not survive long out here. Is there a town or city I can retreat to within a day and a half?"

After a moment of silence Fi's voice responses in her head. "The nearest town is 3 weeks to the east through the desert" Wolf frowns. "But mistress, if you go west you will reach the Forest of Rising by nightfall." 

Closing the chacter sheet for now Wolf looks up at the sun… "idk why I am looking at it I can't work out how much time I have left with the finger method this isn't earth. Fi is there a way to quick scan for anything in the area I can use from the the wreaked carts or do I have to sreach them one by one?" This question is again asked outloud as she walks towards the nearest over turned cart. 

Fi's respone was the fastest it has been when not giving a prompt "scanning area for anything useful" the area lights up like with a truncated icosahedron. Everything lights up including the silicon quartz sand. 

Wolf winces from the flood of info quickly giving herself a migraine. "Fi's filter out the sand and anything that isn't a equipment or supplies. I don't need sand or trash atm" 

A tone of fi compiling to her request is immediate. Opening one eye to see ot is clear. This notes not several water skins hard tac rations and some equipment that can be use are in this cart. She finally finds a couple of water skins with water, a bag clean enough hard tac to eat. A man's leather armor she removes from a cropes that is small enough to "fit" her. The armor was way to large still by like 5 centimeters, but close enough.

Explains why I was able to kill the mage so easily. But I am sure I am still a freak. I wonder if other gamers if they play this game have as good or higher skills then I do… honestly I thought I died. They must have… okay I chat thing about this right now. I still need to find anything else money or gear I can us. She thinks to her self looking though everything.

Not seeing anything else of use or stuff that is about to break leaving most of the junk she looks at the 2 smoldering corpse and the 3rd corpse… "God I wish the smell filters worked better in this game. Everything smells like shit and death… even I need a bath. God I would kill for a shower right now"... she looks at the 3 men she killed and frowns deeper… "Well considering how bad they smell from that, maybe not." The smoldering corpses have something that lights up on her scan radis, as she gets closer it seems to be like cloth purses.

You found 2 coin pouches.

Coin pouches are enchanted to be impossible to be destroyed even the heat of a star cannot destroy me. 

She collects them throwing them in the bag. The rest of their equipment is destroyed, she goes over to the headless mage to kick him one last time but 2 more items light up. One is the man's staff and the other is a much larger pouch. 

You found large coin purse

Like coin pouches, coin purses are enchanted to be impossible to be destroyed even the heat of a star cannot destroy me. 

You found staff, this staff is enchanted with powerful magic and has its stats hidden from you. You need the identify skill or a scroll of identify.

"HUH so this item must be identified, and it is a skill I don't have… you know I never played anything where I bothered to learn the skill. I always felt it was useless to my builds and took up room I didn't have for my builds. Well time to regret that choice" she sighs "welp no way I could have known" she stands and stretches looking around "fi which way is west she says aloud. Straping the staff to the side of her bag and standing up to start marching to the forest.

A moment later the Robotic feminine monotone voice responds in her head "the sun is setting in the east so it rises in the west" looking one last time at the sun and putting her back to it she starts off. Opening her character sheet to get a detail look at it 

"Fi do me a favor and scan for danger if you can?" She says as her eyes unfocus to examine the sheet

A response of "yes mistress" chimes through her head.
