Going to try and post at least two chapters a day
It finally arrived! The new Dragon Island Full dive version he thought as he opened the box he just got in the mail. Oh right, you probably need an introduction. My name is Alex, short for Alexander but most people know me as ShadowRaven69, my gamer tag. Im an eighteen-year-old boy, man, guy or whatever you want to call me. I have been homeschooled for my entire life, born in England but raised in Japan after my mother moved here for her job as a teacher. I finished with homeschool three years ago and have been a looter ever since, and I live alone. For those of you who dont know what a looter is, its someone who plays games and find special items in the game and sell it to people. Now if you will excuse me I just got a new game with almost infinite loot. On his way up to his room he reads on the back cover about how the game works, what its about and all the fun adventures you can have with other players. Wow this game sounds hardcore, and a game not meant for children under the age of eighteen he thinks to himself in an infomercial voice.
While loading the game on his full dive gaming system he is in the kitchen making himself a cup of coffee when he hears the doorbell. Who could that be he thought to himself as he walked towards the door. He opened the door to reveal a young girl, about his age if not a year or two older, and what looks to him like her mother. Good day young man, my name is Shizune and this is my daughter Yoko, we are new in the neighborhood and wanted to say hi to our neighbors. He gave them both a look before replying in a careless way Hello, its nice to meet you. The lady looked at the young man with dark rings under his eyes and left him a fake smile. We are having a get together to properly get to know our neighbors if you want to come this Saturday. The lady said as if she had to invite him. No thank you, Im not very comfortable with new people in new spaces, but thank you for the invite. He bows in an apologizing manner. The lady shoots him another small, fake smile before leaving with her daughter. Well that was weird, anyway back to my coffee the boy thinks while he walks towards the kitchen after closing the door. After making his coffee he heads back upstairs, puts his cup down and waits for the game to finish downloading for another two hours. Finally! he exclaims in his head when the game was finished installing, now then lets get to work and test this new game out. He puts on his helmet and lays down on the bed, Log in, ShadowRaven69, password, Dragonhunter12345. The headgear logs into his account and into the game, lets see what I want to look like
Walking towards what seems to be a tavern he looks around to see what the other players look like and to see if he recognizes any of the player IDs. This game seems packed already, although its only been released for few months now he thinks to himself opening the tavern doors. He walks in and looks for a board that usually gives information on items people want looted then sees a girl with a short hairstyle and an elf look. SwordNymph333, interesting name foe an elf, looks like shes new as well he makes his way through a small crowd to the board to see if there are any easy items. Shit, it looks like Im going to have to level up a lot before I can start he turns around and feels a hard knock in his face before he falls to the ground. Looking up he sees a large orcish male with a battle axe on his back and a cloth covering his junk and fur boots, look at where you are going punk, just now you get killed by an orc! the orc growls down at him. Sorry, its hard to walk around something so stupid, I mean big he spits back at the green wall, he is a tank, usually slow because of the huge frame, but the real question is his stamina by the looks of that axe he needs a lot of it.
The once green tank, now red looks down at Alex before taking off his axe I hope for your sake you dont have any important loot on you or a lot of coin. The orc almost whispers before launching a massive attack with his axe, luckily to be dodged by Alex Luckily this cat race is agile and quick on their feet. He pulls out a dagger and starts slicing at the orc, only leaving small cuts Hahaha, you really think that toothpick is going to hurt me? but barely finished with his cocky remark the orc falls over and turns into pixels. I might be new and weak, but I know a thing or two about tanks and with that he walks away. Wait, arent you going to claim your reward? a voice shouts from behind him and without even turning around he replies I dont steel from other players in a tavern. Because he was a level twenty tank he thought he was unstoppable, but what he didnt realize is that I hit major vital points, my attacks wasnt an attempt to stay alive, it had meaning behind it. Hey you, rug! another deep male voice shouts from behind, Alex turns around and sees another orc charging at him with a HUGE hammer.
With another swift dodge Alex lands a few feet away from the orc, What the hell is this! he shouts at the orc. You killed our leader for no reason, and for that you have to pay rug! great, he had groupies, this could be troublesome he thinks to himself as he sees a couple more orcs stand behind the hammer wielding one. With one sift sword slice all of them falls to the ground revealing the elf girl behind from where they were standing split seconds ago You should be careful who you mess with the elf states with her sword still unsheathed. If she comes at me Im toast, why isnt she sheathing her sword, and why is an elf using a sword I dont want to fight you, one youre a girl and two, you are going to hand my ass to me He says almost scared. I wont attack you if you answer this, how does a level one Shadowcat beat a level twenty Bloodorc? the elf asks with her sword pointing at him. He was an arrogant typical tank, thinking hes unstoppable, not noticing me going for his vital spots which should be covered in some form of armor but instead he covers his junk with a fur cloth he takes in a deep breath after saying that all in one breath with his hands waving all over the place.
The elf stood in a moment of shock before answering Let me guess, youre new to this game but not new to before she could finish her sentence she noticed his gamer ID. Im sorry, I didnt know you were ShadowRaven, also known as the shadow of death her face now red in embarrassment. The shadow of death? Is that what people call me? he asks with a dumbfound look on his face, I guess Im not a true shadow of death if a girl elf had to save m SMACK, she hits him on the head with the back of her sword, taking almost all of his health. Im sorry, I didnt mean it like that! waving his hands all over the place again. I have to go, seems like I have some leveling up to do before I can start playing easily, thanks for saving me, I owe you one. He shouts over his shoulder while running off, wow, dont want to get on her bad side again, okay lets look for some easy quests so I can level up
