Elemental Warriors Online

Quest

As soon as she finished speaking a girl who Cassius had not noticed for the past few minutes since he had been in the guild walked over. Of course that should be expected considering she was not even five foot tall. A freaking loli, and is that a cat tail.

The absurdity of the entire situation was very funny. A stereotypical loli cat girl. Even her name suggested that this girl should have some sort of fetish for cats. The green display that was used to differentiate players from NPCS read Rose, no last name.

Apart from the fact that she was short, her hair was white, with multiple streaks of pink to almost make it look like a referee's jersey, only the background this time was white. It also showed her level. It was thirteen, more than half his level above him.

Though Cassius felt embarrassed by the sheer difference, he wondered what she had been doing all afternoon that she was only level thirteen.

“I am here Cindy.”

Cassius, Kabiru and Monkey simultaneously shivered. That voice, that expression less face. It was the single most terrifying thing the boys had ever experienced. They could not help but take a step back from the girl.

“Cassius this pretty lady here will be your partner for this quest. She’s higher leveled than you and a good coordinator so listen to her. Unfortunately Kabiru can not come with you.”

“Eh!”

“what!”

“Aye, sorry I mean why.”

“well because Monkey, I say so. And this would be a breeze if Kabiru was involved, this quest is way below his pay grade. Not to mention, I do not want to hear any news about damages.

Well Rose send him a party invite and share the quest with him. If things go well you guys should be done before midnight.”

ROSE HAS SENT YOU A PARTY INVITE: ACCEPT: YES/NO

INVITE ACCEPTED: YOU ARE NOW IN A PARTY WITH ROSE.

ROSE

CAITH SITH

LEVEL 13

WARRIOR

ALCHEMIST.

Cassius marveled at the fact she already had a profession. His was a special case and an overwhelming dosage of a Kabiru packaged luck. But this girl had worked hard enough in the past few hours to be able to get alchemist as a profession. Hard core.

SYSTEM ALERT:

GUILD MISSION AVAILABLE: DIFFICULTY : F

ISSUED BY ERNERST NUTCRACKER:

Earnest is the son of famous actor and director Honest Nutcracker whose greatest theatrical piece the Nutcracker Dragon had made his Nutcracker theater the most famous in the land. Even much so that the former king had knighted him and appointed him minister of entertainment. But the years went by and honest fame and prestige came to an end, he passed away leaving only his theater to his family, but his wayward son who had absolutely no interest in taking his father’s place had left the theater to the infestation of a horde of humanoid mouse men. Help Earnest defeat the mouse men and their king Jerry for a handsome reward. (Note: mission must be taken by at least a party of two.) Rewards: 300 exp, 10 silvers and a free ticket for you and your friends at the grand reopening of the Nutcracker theater.

Cassius could not wipe the sudden frown from his face. Mouse men, seriously. And a king called Jerry. Cassius did not know whether to laugh at the lousy attempt of making a gag quest, (if such a thing existed,) or beat the hell out of the developers for copy right infringement of one the cartoons that made Cassius's childhood meaningful.

Tom and jerry was a holy classic, and it should remain that way. Thankfully there’s no cat called tom, or this will just leave a bad taste in his mouth.

Cassius turned to Kabiru and Monkey, he was quite reluctant to say goodbye to them, not that he had grown attached or anything, but they were his good luck charm. He could not shake the feeling that the moment they got separated his ridiculous stream of lady luck milk will come to an end.

Cassius was not adverse to working hard like every other player would be doing. But he had tasted the good life, the easy way by dragging a bunch of idiots along for the ride. He did not want to go back to endless hours of grinding and selling loot only good enough for newbs and low level players.

But what will be will be, Cassius had already enjoyed a landfall from this two, he was not stupid enough to not know that it was his contact with Kabiru and Monkey that made him lucky. What he had gained will take him to the very top of the game, even if he chose to play casually.

(Sniff) “ Cassius make sure to come back alive okay”

“aye”

“if you know you can’t defeat the monsters don’t play tough, just hurry back and big brother Kabiru will take care of everything.”

(sniffle) “ ayeeee, wahhh Cassius please don’t die, come back safe okay. So we can fly together.”

Cassis of course was already gone. The moment he heard the teary tone from Kabiru, he had ran for the hills, he was not capable of dealing with emotional scenarios, even though those two were just idiots. Unfortunately they were his idiots.

Cassius was startled at that train of thought, NPC or not, both Kabiru and Monkey possessed their own individual trait and character that made them no less different from a human being. They felt like people to him, this world felt real.

He realized that, in Here he was a different person. He might be struggling and working hard just so that he could have a better life outside the game. But who says he could not enjoy life in the game as it is. Let Benjamin worry about the real world.

In here, Cassius will worry about Cassius, and enjoy living in this world as much as possible and in the process achieve everything he could not do as Benjamin and save his Grandfather before he dies. But only psychopaths give their selves split personalities.

Cassius is a creation of Benjamin, he is not separate from him nor is he a different person. Their faces are even the same, except Cassius has long hair and red eyes. But in the end Cassius is Benjamin and Benjamin is Cassius. And they will live in both worlds.
