Swordsmen

Level Up

" We're stuck here, in a game, forever unless we complete it, " Hoja said for the fifth time.

" That is about right, " Sol said.

" The message said something about seven people as well. Maybe it's because of them that we and a whole lot of people are stuck here, " Viento said.

" We gotta accept this. There's nothing else we can do, " Tierra said.

" Okay then. We're going to complete this game, and get out of here. Let's start our VR journey, " Trueno said.

..........

" Hiyah! "

A sword slashed through a boar's body and it deactivated into experience points.

" Nice shot, Fuego, " Hielo said to his twin.

" Thanks, I'm actually starting to get the hang of this, " Fuego said.

" I think we've cleared this side of the farm. How are Trueno, Viento and Tierra? " Sol said.

" They should be done soon. Their side is more than ours anyway, " Hoja said.
" Hah! " Viento stabbed the last boar with his sword. He gained experience points from it. All of the brothers received a message, saying that they have completed their quest and that they were rewarded 100 gold coins each.

" Sweet, " Viento said.

" Good job, Viento, Tierra, " Trueno said. Viento and Tierra smiled.

The brothers met at the side of the farm and they headed home together. Their home was just a little hostel in the village, but it was better than nothing.

" I'll go down to the pub to see if there are any more quests for us, " Trueno said.

He went down the stairs and went into the pub. He was happily greeted by the pub owner. " Hey, Trueno. You and your partners back from the quest? " he said.

" Yeah, are there any more for us? " Trueno said.

" Hm, afraid not. They're all taken. Sorry about that, " the pub owner said.

" It's fine, " Trueno said.

" But hey, you can come back tomorrow for new ones, " the pub owner said.

" Thanks. For sure, " Trueno said as he went back upstairs. He went back to his room.

" There isn't any quests for now. There will be new ones tomorrow, " Trueno said to his brothers.

" Oh, that's too bad. I wanted to earn more experience and coins, " Sol said.

" We can wait. Let's go down to the merchant's to see what we can buy with this money, " Fuego said.

They went out to the village and to the merchant's store. There weren't much people there so they could easily move around.

They opened their menu to see what was available. Hoja found something appealing to him. " The Nature Sword, that seems to my liking. I'll take it, " he said. The merchant nodded and gave him the sword.
