Akira cleared his throat. "With all do respect Lord Beaumont, I'm not entirely sure what you and your people have against Scarlett, but she's not the monster that you think she is and I don't appreciate the way that your guards have treated her. She's not plotting anything. She'd never hurt...

After training for the day ended, Akira put his armor back on the shelf and retrieved his scimitar. When he picked it up, he felt a strange sense of peace, like being reunited with an old friend or something from one's childhood. He remembered when he got the item in the game. He had to complete...

Akira set his scimitar aside and began to put on the training armor. He found that it wasn't too difficult once he understood how the clasps and belts fit together. He picked up one of the swords and hurried over to the line. Sir Keiran addressed everyone, "Today we have a guest of Lady Saffron...

"I'll do my best." Akira replied. Saffron left him in his room. Akira looked around and admired the room and marveled at how this was only one room of the house. The bed was on an elevated platform and was made neatly with clean, white sheets. On either side were white nightstands, which Akira...

Akira knew from doing Saffron's quest that she came from a highly respected family, but he'd never made it this far in the game. He vaguely remembered hearing Saffron say something about Northwind's Council of Seven, but after having to do the quest so many times, he couldn't recall the details...

Saffron broke into a sprint into the woods, with Scarlett not too far behind her. Akira picked up the pace and ran after them. Saffron looked terrified of something and that made him skeptical when she said that she didn't know what to expect when they got to the Circle of Swords. The group...

Akira was slightly on edge for the entire interaction between Saffron and the Orcs. When the large one who was about Akira's height went up to him and sized him up, it made Akira marvel at how, relatively speaking, civil they were. Initially, the Orcs were going to allow the group to pass as...

Akira was taken aback by the bluntness of Saffron's question, "Uhh, no, I haven't." The group kept trudging along. According to Saffron, they'd see the encampment at about midday, which was a few hours away. She'd assured Scarlett and Akira that the Orcs wouldn't attack unprovoked, but Akira...

Before the group set out, Saffron and Scarlett had a back and forth which gave Akira another piece of evidence that Sylaria was different from the one they knew in the game. Scarlett claimed that she'd done Saffron's quest a dozen times, which is about the same for Akira, but Saffron has no...

"An Orc encampment?" Akira thought. Orc encampments were usually mini-dungeons in Sylaria and they required parties of at least five people, but Saffron talked about them like they wouldn't attack on sight. Saffron went to sleep and Akira tried to do the same, which wasn't difficult. -------...

Saffron told Akira that she'd used too much energy casting spells. At first, he thought she meant that she used too much mana, but that was before he noticed how tired she looked. Akira initially thought that that was because of the chase with the wargs, but there seemed like there was something...

After Akira passed out, he had a dream of a gig that he played a week before he ended up in Sylaria. He was playing in his friend's coffee shop/ cafe, it was a rainy and cold day, but the rain was soft enough that it actually made the atmosphere more tranquil. He was with two other people, a...

The group ran passed a misshapen boulder and began to ascend a hill. When they reached the peak, the riders stopped pursuing them, they'd finally arrived in Orc territory. As they were descending the hill, Scarlett tripped over herself for what felt the third time since the chase began, but...

Akira was just able to process quickly enough that the warg was coming for him. He tried to jump back and was able to avoid the wargs leap. But he felt something run down his face and when he touched there was blood. Akira already believed that this world was real, but the fact that he his wound...

As Akira and Scarlett were talking, the warg riders returned and the goblins had angry looks on their faces. Saffron summoned a wall of fire to keep them back and Scarlett didn't hesitate to run deeper into the trees. Akira was about to do the same, but looked back as Saffron didn't seem like...

Akira's senses were so stimulated that he didn't process that Saffron was shooting fireballs at the warg riders. She blasted a warg and its rider with two, then fired a second that sent the rest running in different directions. This gave Akira the opportunity to catch up. "Why does it feel...

The sound of wargs paws pounding against the road grew louder and louder as the trio ran for the tree line. Akira looked back to see tiny green creatures riding on the back of the wargs. Each of them wore leather armor and held either a crudely made spear, bow, or axe. There were at six of them...

As Saffron rambled on about Sylaria's history, among other things, Scarlett stepped up to walk along side Akira. "Does she ever stop talking?" she asked "Unfortunately, no," sighed Akira "And now that she's rested, this'll go on for a while." Akira found himself admiring the landscape...

Akira was surprised to learn that Scarlett was really a guy named Alex. He'd heard of and known people who play the opposite gender in video games, but in these circumstances it was shocking. Scarlett's face turned so red that Akira though she was going to burst a blood vessel. "Don't you...

Akira wondered what Scarlett was going to say before she stopped herself, but he didn't want to pry. Though he could tell that whatever it was, either embarrassing or personal by the way her face turned red. Saffron looked to Akira and asked, "Is that also not what you really look like?"...
