Prologue

"Shield!" Scream Nathan, following the scream his shield was lit with a blue light, growing in spirals and forming a great shield with his target shield at it's center.

Soon enough a huge club hit his target shield once, twice.

"Stone Skin, Hard Skin" Shouted Nathan once again, with his left arm skin turning into a stone texture, closing his erupt veins while the rest of the blood dripped of his left arm, and his left left leg gained a strange glow, soon enough the ogre stopped hitting and gave a step back while dropping his club , giving him the chance of striking back. After one breath, Nathan trust his glass spear into the ogre, once, twice, thrice, but the ogre only took the first hit and on the second start defending with his bare hands, but the battle wasn't on it's favor, some throwing daggers were on his back with some blood dropping from it and with movement already slowed.

Nathan breath quickly once more, with all strength on his right arm, he trust the glass spear onto the ogre that tried to defend with his bare hand one more time, but the spear pierced his skin, meat and bones and the tip exited on the elbow.

A bestial scream came from the ogre, but Nathan didn't stop, he quickly kicked the ogre stomach while letting go of the spear, now deep on the ogre arms, when something hit the ogre on the head and made him fall on his back, trying on getting up but Nathan soon pushed another glass spear from his shield, now on it's normal form, and jumped on top of his stomach and trust his spear onto the ogre heart.

"Ropes, NOW!" Shouted Nathan while on top of the ogre holding his spear, from the bushes of the forest, Black come running while tiding up a hope into a stake made out of metal, soon enough he hammered the stake on the ground near the ogre legs and on the other end of the rope he knot another metal stake, suddenly the ogre stop struggling, but soon enough as if come back to himself he quickly has gone back to struggle to get up.

"Quick with it" Shouted Nathan, "On it already" Said Black while grounding the other stake tiding up the ogre legs.

With some more time the ogre arms were also grounded. Both Nathan and Black were siting on their buts while heavily breathing.

"What do you thing, we got luck or unlucky?" Ask Black to Nathan

"Luck with or enemy unlucky because it doesn't look strong enough"

"So all of that for shit loot?"

"Probably, but look, at least the club look good, may sell for 1 or 2 gold coins" Said Nathan

"If it's that, than was worth it"

"The stakes are getting out"

"I will hammer it soon enough, and your arm? The stone doesn't look good" Said black while getting up and clearing the dirt from his clothes

"Well, it always end up looking like a spike after getting hit by something with my shield, but a day or two will solve it"

Black started hammering the stake on the ground once more but with more streagh with it hit, while the ogre with a spear on it's hearth stopped and soon enough stared struggle once more.

"How many times has it died?" Asked Nathan

"I counted 13, your spear will break soon enough give me one so I can say that i hit it at least once"

"The daggers on it's back are good enough, I do it" Nathan pushed a spear out of his shield, and used as a cane for helping getting up. (I hate Legions) think Nathan.

Legions, a state of the undead, when one creature that "has" a soul die, it has a chance that the body becomes a hungry vessel for more souls. Normally the body is capable of having one soul only, but there are exceptions. And if the new "vessel" can't maintain it's sanity, then it transform into a "Legions", and a Legions will always look for souls to absorb, and for that, it will kill indiscriminate. Above all that, all the experience and strength of the ones killed body is put on the vessel, and even if is killed once, it will only come back to life, until all the souls are exhausted, making it one of the most hated "status" that a creature may have.

After the ogre stop struggling. "Did it die?" Asked Black

"I guess so, by the way, do we have enough food for the come back to the village?"

"I will see on the bag latter, a shame that it only had 52 souls"

Nathan got back to his backpack that he had dropped before the battle, and took out a map, gave it a look, and made a circle with a small blue crystal and a small line on the center of it, on the map other circles with lines on it are all over the map, most with one line and others with 5 to 17.

"Not enough food, but really? Ogre meat?" Asked Black

"See any wolf or rabbits nearby? It's not that i want to, but... Maybe there is some fruit tree nearby?" Said Nathan hopeful

"I really wish there was*sigh*, is this the last forbidden zone?"

"Yes, with this we have clear all places nearby the village"

"Is twenty eighty the split right?"

"Only if the eighty is mine, if not than it still fifty fifty"

The forbidden zones, are places where the gods can't reach, because of it, any player that dies in one of these regions, don't come back to the living(no respawn), and there bodies ar left there for eternity. But even then there still places where quick money can be made in the game Brave Hearts, the name may suggest that the "Forbidden Zones" is dangerous, but it's not entirely true, some regions are fairly easy, others not so much. Because of this, forbidden zones attracts all types of players.

"How many days until the village?"

"One or Two" Said Nathan while looking at the map

Brave Hearts, a Virtual Reality Multiple Massive Online Role Playing Game, or the "fantasy type" know to the public, has in the year 2143 agglomerate a total of 50 million players world wide, with only other two games coming close.

With a in clock time, four times faster than in the real world, with little to no interfaces, no status, and no in-game help or even a tutorial, at the begging was considerate a harsh and unforgiving game, but with the community's and quickly build guilds, soon was flocking with more and more players.

"You do it, I will see if there is some water near by"

"Have a knife? Mine has just got du- Before Black could finish, Nathan have already throw to him a knife and soon he pick up a leather canteen nearby.
