Author:Welcome to episode 2 I hope that your enjoying this as much as me and I hope you have a wonderful day or night //
Morning came as Naofumi wakes up
Naofumi:" not as comfortable but it was still nice "-he gets ready as he walks out seeing nori infront of his door-" morning nori "
Nori:- turns around as he looks at Naofumi-" morning Naofumi "- he floats up to get on his head-" did you rest well?"
Naofumi:" yeah I did did you "
Nori:" eh couldn't sleep anyways let's go to that place Myne was talking about "
Naofumi:" alright"- he would then notice something -" oh it looks like it shows that she's in our party now "
Nori:" oh nice she must've turned off her skill "
Naofumi:" indeed let's go check on her "- he starts heading towards Mynes room as he knocks on the door -
Myne:- opens the door as she would be ready smiling-" morning sir Naofumi you ready to start "
Naofumi:" yeah we're ready "
Myne:" alright then let's go "
Naofumi:" right "
- the group would head out traveling towards the village myne was talking about-
Nori:" oh yeah before I forget "- he would grab a piece of himself and pulls it off as he puts it in Naofumis shield-" now yo should be able to use that shield when I'm not around "
Naofumi:" thanks but doesn't that hurt though "
Nori:" nah I regenerate and plus I can't really feel pain unless someone who is stronger than me hits me with something enhanced with mana "( I was worried for a second but then I remembered I'm still growling unless I make a mouth)
Naofumi:" ah I see makes sense "
Myne: " look up ahead "- he points towards a decently large monster with horns -
Naofumi:" what is that?"
Nori:" I don't know but it's looking for something too eat "- he gets off of Naofumis shoulder as he starts floating-
Naofumi:" should we fight it "
Nori:" well it looks like we have too since it's heading full speed towards us "
Naofumi:" stone shield!"- his shield would change as he puts his hand on the ground making a decently large wall of stone as the monster would run into it cracking the wall a bit causing Naofumi and Myne to jump back-" it just cracked it like it was nothing "
-The monster crashes against again breaking through it and it looks at nori as it goes to attack him-
Nori:- dodges the attacks as he would send sharp tendrils but due to them being so small it wouldn't have any effect-( crap alright I'll just distract it)- he kept evading the monsters attacks-
Naofumi:- his shield would change -" nori enhance "- he would run forward from behind as he jumps up to slam the sharp part of the shield down on the monsters back peirceing it causing it to roar Loudly-
- the monster knocks Naofumi off of it's back then looks at him as it was about to slash forward until it was hit with wind magic sending it back -
Myne:- would run forward-" sir Naofumi are you ok "
Naofumi:" yeah thanks Myne "
-The monster runs forward as it would try to take there heads by biting them off-
Nori:- would get infront of them as he turns himself into large doubled sided spike stabbing the inside of the monsters mouth as it bites down causing it to jump back roaring again in pain with nori still being in its mouth-
- The monster then shakes its head trying to get nori out-
Naofumi:- gets up taking the opportunity he runs forward towards the monster as he stabs it's neck killing it -
Nori:- would get out the monsters mouth-" nice one Naofumi "
Naofumi:" thanks but ay I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for you stabbing it's mouth "
Nori:" yeah but you really went crazy "- he floats up and lands on Naofumis head then he turns to Myne as he makes a mouth to speak-" and you were great too nice wind magic Myne "
Myne:" thanks but I didn't really do much "
Nori:" you did if it wasn't for that wind magic Naofumi would've been hurt or possibly worse dead "
Myne:" alright "
Naofumi:- would put one of the monsters pieces into his shield-
Nori:" what did you get?"
Naofumi:" it seems I'm to low of a level to use it"
Nori:" ah I see"- he would take both of the monsters horns as he would put it in Naofumis bag-" ima keep these for later "
Naofumi:" alright then let's go "
Nori:" ok"
- the group would then continue their journey -
Nori:- would start singing -"It's my love, it's your love, it's our love
And I be thinkin' the world is out of love
So lovestruck, it's fucked up"
Naofumi:" what are you singing?"
Nori"And she don't really care because
Everybody want the same thing
New chain, new car and the same ring
I just wanna make money with the same gang
New glass, new frame, but the same lane
Whole team cold different but the same pain
Rollie, Rollie, Rollie, I just want a plain Jane"
Naofumi:" stop singing and how do you know what a car is?"
Nori:" alright "- completely ignores Naofumis question-
Naofumi:" don't ignore you know what never mind it seems your getting used to actually talking "
Nori:" I mean it's not to hard "
Myne:" so what type of monster are you since I haven't seen one with this much intelligence and can talk "
Nori:" I don't know honestly I just woke up one day underground one day and bam "
Naofumi:" so you're a plant slime "
Nori:- starts rapidly bonking Naofumis head -" I am not a plant nor a slime!"
Naofumi:" ow ok quit it"
Nori:- would stop as he looks at Myne-" so how long will it take us"
Myne:" well if we keep going at this pace I say will be half way there when night time hits"
Nori:" alright then we don't have a moment to loose "
- the group would continue walking and fighting monsters they where mostly balloons and weaker monsters unlike the one with the horns soon the sun was setting -
Myne:" alright I think we should stop here we should make it to the village tomorrow "
Naofumi:" let's step up camp
Nori:" right "
- the group would set up camp as night came Naofumi would be sleeping in his tent as nori would be next to the Fire looking at it then he looks at the sky-
Myne:- walks out of her tent seeing nori as she sits down next to the fire as well-
Nori:" you should sleep "
Myne:" I can't sleep at least not right now "
Nori:" I see "
Myne:" what about you "
Nori:" I can't sleep either and plus I don't need it as much as you guys "
Myne:" ok "
- soon they would have a moment of silence until Myne asked a question-
Myne:" so what made you want to join Naofumi or become adventure in the first place "
Nori:" oh simple I joined Naofumi because well he's the only person who understands me and didn't try to attack me on sight since I'm a monster the adventure part is because I really like fighting other monsters and people it gives me a thrill but due to what I can do it limits me "
Myne:" that might be your monster instincts "
Nori:" could be so what about you "
Myne:" I rather not say but it's mostly to help the heros I've heard stories about them since I was a child "
Nori:" well looks like your achieving your goal though from Last night I'm guessing yo wanted to help one of the other heros out "
Myne:" yeah I did "
Nori:- looks at Myne-" then I apologize you forced yourself to join the weakest team but I'm also grateful you did since you could've just went with your plan but you didn't so I thank you "- he smiles or tries too-
Myne:" no problem "- she would look down as she smiles a bit nervously with guilt taking over her until she shook her head-" though you shouldn't be thanking me since I really haven't done anything to much yet besides giving information "
Nori:" That also helps us alot too we wouldn't know where to start well besides the balloon part since there just right outside but your taking us to a dungeon so we can level up and a new village so we might be able to get som more party members
Your useful Myne "
Myne:- would then get up as she walks back to her tent-" thanks I'm going to sleep now or try to "
Nori:" alright night "
Myne:" night "- she goes back into her tent-
Nori:- would look up at the moon and the night sky again again-" its a beautiful night tonight I actually see stars this time "
- time skip as the group was seen walking -
Nori:- would be in Mynes arms since she insisted him too-( it's weird how she acted this morning )
- small flash back-
Myne:" can I hold you this time nori?"
Nori:" why ?"
Naofumi:" yeah I mean he's light so I don't mind him on my head "
Myne:" I know but I insist please "
Nori:" I guess if you really want to "
- flash back end-
Myne:" hey guys look where here "- she points at a village in the distance-" this is Nibelheim village"
Nori:" wow it's a bit bigger than expected "
Naofumi:" no kidding "
- soon the group would enter the village as they look around-
Naofumi:" this places is lively "
- they would see more crowds and more party tricks-
Myne:" this place is known for their party's and alot of adventures come here after their done fighting monsters "
Nori:" wow so like a adventures town"( this makes it almost a 100% guaranteed party member)
Myne:" alright now that we've looked around what should we do next "
Nori:" I'd say we first we should go to the dungeon get some levels then get some supplies and after we looked for a new party member "
Naofumi:" sounds like a plan alright let's go "
Myne:- her grip on nori would tighten a bit as she started to show a face of guilt but then smiles-" you sure we should go now or wait till we get a party "
Nori:" nah no good adventure will join a group of two low noobs and one decent "
Naofumi:" yeah and plus we should be fine like you said "
Myne:" yeah but still having a bigger party would be helpful "
Nori:" are you nervous or something because it seems like you're trying to keep us from going in there "
Myne:" no im not nervous alright let's go "- she walks forward to lead them to the dungeon-
Naofumi:- follows-
Nori:( weird yesterday she was full set on taking us why the sudden change did something happen)
- time skip as the group would be in a forest type area heading towards the dungeon with nori still being carried by Myne-
Nori:" is that it up there "- he points towards two large doors as it seems to be the entrance-
Author: ignore the creature //
Naofumi:" I seems so "
Myne:" It is "
Naofumi:" weird for a low level dungeon it looks like one of those high rankings dungeons you see in video games "
Nori:" but you have to take into a account this is your first time seeing an actual one like seeing a picture of something versus seeing it in front of you "
Naofumi:" good point alright let's head in "- he walks forward-
Myne:-she stands still looking at Naofumi-
Nori:- would wave his tendrils infront of her face-" Myne cardinal to Myne "
Myne:" huh?"
Nori:" let's go we can't let Naofumi go in by himself "
Myne:" right sorry "- she walks forward following Naofumi through the entrance-
Naofumi and nori:" woah "
Nori:" this place looks cool "
Naofumi:- looks around as he walks forward-
Myne:- follows-
Nori:" I wander if there's more dungeons that looks better than this "
Myne:" there's alot of dungeons but those are to high for us "
Nori:" makes sense"
- soon another variant of balloons would pop up as they were purple with red eyes-
Naofumi:- his shield would change into the Nori enhanced one as he holds it up making the balloons bounce off of it -
Nori:- gets out of Mynes grasp as he sends sharp tendrils towards one of the balloons popping it-" huh it seems there's durability is the same but there strength increased "
Naofumi:- would slam his shield down at one of them popping it -" yeah but they do give a good amount of exp well more than their other two variants "
Myne:- would pop some as well-
- after a few minutes the balloons would stop coming out as it seems like they got them all -
Nori:" seems like we gotem all"- he would collect there remnants to put it in Naofumis bag to sell them later-
Naofumi:" yeah and thanks for collecting the remnants "
Nori:" no problem but then again something doesn't feel right "
Myne:" yeah something is off "- she looks around a bit until she spots a light coming down coming down towards them-"watch out "- she steps forward to try to push Naofumi and nori out fo the way only for all three to dissappear without a trace -
Nori:- would land on the ground causing him bounce a bit -" man what happened?"- he looks around to see Naofumi on the ground as he slowly gets up-" yo Naofumi you ok?"
Naofumi:" yeah man my head what happened "
Nori:" well my guess we go transported to a different part of the dungeon "
Naofumi:" that seems to be the case did you see Myne anywhere?"
Nori:" I hope she's fine "- he floats up -
Naofumi:- he walks forward-" this place is way different from the last one "
Nori:" indeed "
Naofumi:- covers his nose -" what the hell is that smell "
Nori:" your gonna have to elaborate on that one chief I don't have a sense of smell "
Naofumi:" it smells like a dead body "
- as soon as he said that arms would pop out of the ground pushing themselves from underneath the ground-
Nori:" well looks like you've found your answer "
- the undead monsters would surround the two-
Naofumi:" looks like there's no way out of this one but there levels are high but not an un beatable high "
Nori:" alright then I say we clear a path way and make a run for it "
Naofumi:" sounds like a plan "- he blocks a attack from some the undead monsters as he would push his shield forward pushing them back-
- one of the monsters would hit Naofumi from behind -
Naofumi:" damn "( that one hurts alot actually seems my defense isn't high enough to take there hits like I did with the balloons)- he would slam his shield down at one of them-" there defense is low well besides the ones with flesh still on them "
Nori:" good to know "- he would wrap himself around one of the undeads arm to gain control of it as he starts attacking the others-
- the two would keep going at it as they would have a Decent path way if they were quick enough they can get through it -
Naofumi:- runs forward as nori follows
- the pieces of undead that fell would come together creating a bigger monster as it started chasing after them-
Nori:- would look behind them -" holy shit go faster !!"
Naofumi:" what's behind us?"
Nori:" don't look just fucken run !!!"
Naofumi:- looks behind anyway-" the fuck!!"- he runs faster -
Nori:" told ya "- soon he would quickly land on Naofumis shoulder-" damn I should've slept I wasted my energy in floating "
Naofumi:- he kept running-
-Soon the area around them would change with the ground started to split apart in front of them-
Naofumi:" damnit!"- he would run faster as he leaps forward landing on the other side before the gap became to wide-
Nori:" man that was close to close let's say we find Myne and head out this dungeon is way to much for us "
Naofumi:" ......"
Nori:" yo Naofumi you ok? I know that this was a shocking experience but you don't have to go silent on me "
- the large undead monsters would roar looking at the two or looking at him -
Naofumi:- would turn around as he walks back to the edge-
Nori:" Naofumi what are yo-"
- he would get cut off as Naofumis appearance changed as he throws nori off the edge with the undead monsters and many more jumps off the edge as well-
Nori:- looks at the person who threw him off noticing the armor having a large symbol that represented melromarc and he also noticed a familiar red head next to him -" Myne?"- he said softly with sadness then he would scream-" MYNE!!!!"
Myne:- would look down then she looks at the knight-" I told you to call it off or at least find another way to get rid of him"
Knight:" sorry princess but that things a low life someone of your class shouldn't show mercy and plus the kings orders are first get rid of the low life and now time to crush the shield since that thing is gone "- he walks away-
Myne:- would also walk away -
- meanwhile with Naofumi as he seems to be in the back of a carriage with knights around it-
Naofumi:" what's is going on and why are you taking our stuff "
knight 1:" the king wants to speak to you so stay silent "
Naofumi:" alright "( man this is weird all the sudden I got transported to a room full of undead with Myne and the moment we got out this happens)- soon he would hear Myne crying or fake crying as she had a cover over her getting in a different carriage-
Knight 2:" alright let's go "
- soon all the carriages would start moving as they headed towards the castle where the king was -
- one day passed as Naofumi would be I'm the throne room with the knights surrounding him a bit and the other three heros would be infront of him -
Naofumi:" alright now since we're here can you guys tell me what's go-"
- the king cuts him off -
King:" silence you wretch!!"
Naofumi:" huh wretch what did i"
Motoyasu:" you know what you did how could you do that to Myne and nori!!"
Itsuki:" I never knew you could be so cold "
- soon the king would hold a Cristal ball as it shows Naofumi throwing Nori off the edge and him assaulting Myne in the dungeon safe zone tho the background of the last one glitches a bit due to the fact the dungeon didn't have a safe zone -
Naofumi:" what the I didn't do that in the dungeon we got separated "
King:" this Cristal ball says otherwise so stop lying "
Naofumi:- would look a Myne who was behind Motoyasu-" yo Myne tell them the truth "- he moves forward as the knights put their weapons infront of him-
Myne:- screams as she holds on to Motoyasu crying-
Motoyasu:- looks at Naofumi furious-
Rin:" and I thought having some one in your party would help you level up but you saw them as tools for your own survival sacrificing them "
Itsuki:" your a hero you shouldn't be acting like this it's just distasteful "
Naofumi:( how did this happen why did this happen)- soon he would hear a small giggle as he looks towards Myne seeing her secretly making a face behind Motoyasu-
Naofumi:( I see it was all fake every smile every compliment was all just a lie now that I think about it she only became a party member after that night in the inn with nori she tried seducing me into wasting money and to get me to drink she plan to do this earlier and I ignore all the warnings Nori gave me nori wait what did they)- he remembered the evidence of nori being thrown off the edge-" what did you do with him Myne?"
Myne:" huh"
Naofumi:" where the hell is he !"- he would move forward again moving some of the knights away-" you planned all of this so I'm asking where the hell is nori!!"
Motoyasu:" really pining the blame on others you know what happened Because you did it you threw him off the edge because in your eyes he didn't make the cut "- he would walk towards Naofumi as he grabs his shirt-" how could you do such a thing he considered you as a friend do you not care for others emotions your lucky that we can't send you back until we finish the waves or I would have sent you straight there!!"
Naofumi:- grabs Motoyasus arm as he makes him let go-" really ?"( I can't even go back home)" fine then what are you going to do lock me in a cell until the wave hits "
King:" no it would only in danger us more since we need all four of you to get stronger but word about your actions have already spread across town you will never live a decent life in this country that is your punishment "
Naofumi:- turns around as he walks away-
Motoyasu:" hey I'm not do-"
- Motoyasu would be cut off as Naofumi punches him in the face with it actually hurting-
Naofumi:" shut the hell up I already got the point of the conversation "- he continues to walk away-" I'm going to go level up since I'm the shield hero the weakest link as so you all say "- he walks out -
- meanwhile with nori as he seems to be under a large pile of bones unable to move causing him to be stuck in his thoughts-
Nori:( no matter how many times I look at it I can't find the reason why why did I get betrayed? why does it still hurt even though I knew that they tried to do it before? why does everyone I meet end up hurting me at the end?)
- soon he would remember a moment in his life hearing screams and seeing blood splater with him standing on top of a pile of bodies-
Nori:( and most of all why do o keep living?)- he would start glowing a bit with his orb like body taking shape into a humanoid like figure as he would hear someone talking to him In his head-
???:( is that even a question we live cause we want you )
Nori:" who"( wait N)
N:- would laugh like a mad man-( alright now I'll show these undead what death is)
- a skill tree would appear infront of him as it says alter-
Nori:( huh but)
- soon the body would completely changed as it got out of the pile of undead and it begins speaking but seems like it was two voices at once-
N/Nori:" alright let's have some "- he would get in a pose -" fun!"
- the undead monsters would rise back up looking at the figure as they started running towards it-
To be continued
