I found a field absolutely covered in boars to kill so raising my stats shouldn't take long, then again boars are nothing to me. I tried to take on a few at a time and not get crowded by them all but that went to pot. They all came running at me the second I disturbed just one of them, I started running and I still felt their prescence behind me. Whipping round I used an AoE (Area of Effect) Sword Skill and a lot of them imploded, I watched my stats raise a tiny bit as I took on the rest, the rest quickly died as I used my AoE skill again.

I found more fields so I just kept taking on the boars as they came, raising my stats slowly. I got a bit hungry so stopped by a tree in the shade and ate some of the raw boar meat, it wasn't the best but it would do for the moment. I quickly got on with killing more but I guess I kind of killed all of them around the area. I knew that they respawned after about 10 minutes so I went back to the first field and did a whole cycle again of killing. Again I stopped for a little break to eat, and drink.

I must have been making quite a lot of noise, I mean it's rather obvious, but I'd attracted the attention of a group of players that were a couple levels lower than me. They went ahead of me taking over the boar killing, I guess that's it for today.

I had nothing to do so I checked in some shops looking for some teleport crystals but none of the shops I went to had any, they'd all sold out. I spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the town pointlessly.

As the sky turned violet and orange I knew it was best to be walking back to the inn I saw while walking round the town.

The woman running the inn was very welcoming and immediately showed me to a small, neat room tucked back away from the rest. I threw off my clothes and put my sleep shirt on and lay on the bed.

'This is going to be one long game.' I thought to myself, and honestly, I'm scared for what's to come. I don't want to die, no one does, that's what makes this the scariest game anyone has ever played. I wonder how Kirito feels about the game, he isn't scared, is he?

I soon fell asleep on my thoughts and started to dream.

'What are you doing you wuss?' A strangers voice rattled in my head, I jolted awake. I looked around and I wasn't in the inn anymore, I was laying in a blank space.
'What's...going on?' I tried to speak but I only heard my voice in my head. I tried screaming but only deafened myself in my head.
'Look at you, cow.' I waved my hands around the blank space trying to feel for something. I felt a soft, fleshy surface and tried to make out the shape. It was a person. Suddenly they appeared and it was my brother, laying, black and blue. I screamed again and finally my voice wasn't in my head.

'Miss! Miss! Wake up! Stop screaming!!' I swung my entire body out of the bed and threw up.
'Miss are you okay?!'
'Yeah, yeah. Just fine.' I quickly transferred the money for my inn stay to her and grabbed my stuff, I ran out and hid in an alleyway.

'What the hell was that?'
