            I can't believe I'm 18 today!!! After many, many, many training sessions in the training grounds I'm finally ready. I can't wait to decide on what class I should become. I could become any type of warrior I guess maybe even a Dawn Warrior. I was never any good at using spells though so that means being a Mage is out of the question. Why is this so hard.

                 "Yo Sang, what are you doing man we are suppose to be training today. Get out of that tree and lets go," that is Regret, he excels in being an ass and is a master in hand-to-hand combat which has caused his muscles to be defined. I think his secret is his eyes. They are like an eagle, sharp and accurate, analyzing every move until he strikes his prey. And as usually he is wearing his trademark leather jacket made from Balrog leather (or so he claims).

                   "I was just thinking on what class I should become, I mean it is my 18th birthday after all and I am leaning towards becoming a Warrior," I explained to my good friend. I jumped off the oak tree and began walking with Regret. We made our way towards Henesys where the training ground is at. We live in the outskirts of town because it is much more quieter than the city life. We passed the market district where they were selling potions and weapons, I even saw a store selling pets. I saw people purchasing these items and selling there stuff to get more money. "Should we buy some stuff as well feel like if we don't do it now they won't be here later?" I inquired.

                    "Good idea and while we are at it lets get a pet I have always wanted one plus I heard from this one guy that they help us fight," Regret commented.

                  "I think not, but hey if you want a pet by all means get one. I'm going to the potion store and buy some red and blue pots. Meet me at the entrance to the training grounds, and Regret if you could please don't get into another fight. I won't be there to bail you out this time," I added.

                    "Ha-ha, funny. Don't worry I won't, I'll meet you there," He went his way while I went mine. With the both of us in a fight we are unstoppable. We were once called Maplers. The Maplers were our ancestors who had tremendous power, but they mysteriously disappeared but the elders say that the people on Victoria Island are direct descendants of them. Which I think is bull, but I like the idea of that. Regret and I both agreed that once we form a guild we would call it that.

                I went inside the store and was caught by surprise when I took my first breath of the place. It smelled like a slime on a hot summer day, but after a few seconds the smell changed into something more breathable. I headed to the counter to purchase the items I wanted.

               "Hello, how may I help you today?" asked the old sales women as if she has said that one to many times. She was your average run-of-the-mill old lady with nothing unique about her.

                 "Yes I would like 50 red potions and 50 blue potions and if you have any cure-all's I would like to have 9 of those please," I said while getting my money out.

                "Of course and please wait here while I get your items. Put your mesos inside slots," she went into the back and I did as I told. While I was waiting some customers came inside, but I got the feeling that they were not hey for the cure-all's. There was two of them the bigger of the two had snake tattoos on both of his arms and wore a biker jacket with spikes at the shoulder while the smaller one had a buzz cut and was much more muscularly than the bigger one. I was debating on whether I should stop them or get someone to else because they look tough.Unfortunately my mouth decided for me.

                   "The old lady is in the back, your going to have to wait until she comes out," I said while preparing myself for a fight in case I have to.

                  "That's alright, it's better this way, now we don't have to beat up an old lady. We don't have to beat you up as well if you just move out of the way." said the smaller one who I dubbed Buff and who I think is the leader of the two.

                  "You know I haven't been in a fight in some time now, but I do believe that I can still kick your ass, what are you Lv. 10 or something?" I mocked. That sure got him rilled up

                    "That's it you noob, nobody makes fun of the boss and gets away with it. I'm going to killing you," said Snakey (the bigger guy). He charged at me and which I dodge with no problem. Snakey hit the wall where I was just standing at. "Oww," was all he could mutter before I spinned around and kicked him on the side of his head that caused him to be flown across the room unconscious. I turned to the smaller one hoping for a better fight, but from the looks of his face he was still getting of the shock of a lean guy like me was able to kick a big guy like his partner. 

                       "Come little guy, let's see what you got," I said provoking him. He came at me with fist balled up ready to punch me out. He swung and I dodge, I swung and he dodge. This went on for a few seconds before I was able to knee him in the guts which in turn caused him to kneel over and allowed me to get an upper-hand in the fight. I grabbed him by the arms pulled him in, where I was able land the finishing blow that knocked him out cold. The bigger guy got up from where he was at and charged at me again only this time he caught me by surprised. I was tossed against a wooden beam but before I collide with it I ran up the beam and pushed the Snakey into it. "Alright Snakey here is how it goes, you and Buffy there are going to leave and never come back and if I so much as look at you again, well you better pray I don't. Now leave," I said menacingly. Snakey was quick to my threat because in just a blink he and Buffy was gone and I was standing there looking like and idiot.

                  The old lady came out of the back with my stuff with a suspicious smile on her face but it was more like a grateful smile than anything else. "Right then here are your items, and have a nice day." she said with a new life in her voice. Weird.

                   "Thanks and you too," I responded. When I was outside I was greeted by some rather rude people who pushed me out of the way. When I regained my balance I looked to where they went, but instead found a whole bunch of people chasing someone. I tired to focus on who they were chasing. Big mistake. Why do I bother on telling him not to get into a fight. Something like this always tend to happen. Might as well help him, why am I friends with him.
