Fuck this intro thingy.
Alright, im going to resume what happened during those 2 weeks in a phrase.
I got very embarassed.
It didn't take me long to make the clothing with the little amount of leather i got everyday, so most of the time i was actually knitting with gramma Julia ( it wasn't really diferent from sewing and i also had some RL experience with it) and by nightime John would get home with more hunt and everytime we looked at each other we blushed, it was even worse when we started trying to avoid each other and Julia noticing that made me encounter her son on purpose.
So yes, i was really glad when the two weeks were over.
Julia gave me some extra money since my clothes were high quality ( by the end of the 2 weeks i could make you a fancy furry fox outfit, like one of those rich ladies) so i took it, went to a general store, bough a caldron, some spices, a map of the kingdom and left the city. Fuck those bandits, after that shamefull week with John, i'd never come back.
Okay. I was out of the city, finally some freedom. I took in my surroundings and breathed some clean air. I was there in the field, covered from sun atracting attention from players because of my shady hood. So i tried to ignore the small rabbits and went in direction of the forest. But the rabits didn't want to ignore me aparently.
Look, believe me when i say that it is hard to move around when there's a shit ton of hair in your face. And that was the case at the moment. I had forgotten to activate my field, só since the hood was small, all my hair was in front of my eyes, and i didn't noticed a small rabit an steped on it.
I tried to pretent nothing happened and kept walking but the damm critter didn't let go and attacked me. I don't know if i mentioned before but i hate to be hit, even in this game were i almost didn't felt anything. So i abruptly moved my face to stare at the rabbit and said while emitting a dark aura:
No, You didn't!
It just looked at me with it's big red eyes... As if saying – Yeah I did it!
I couldn't let it go só i lifted him with my telekinesis, and made him float alongside me while i walked to the forest. When i got in the shadows of the trees i took my hood off and stared deep into he's eyes and wispered to him:
Bitch, i'm going to hunt some wolfs and you're gonna be my bait.
I think i did a pretty good job passing my message to him because after i said that it started to leak.
Let's just say that i dealt with the rabbit. Okay?
He was now a dripping piece of meat laying in the ground while i hid in a tree waiting for a wolf to show up. It didn't really took long for a pack to show up inside my field. I didn't really know how much damage i could give, but for my luck only one was sent to check on the rabbit meat.
While he got close to my bait i started levitating the sword Julia had given me and when he bite my bait i lauched it at the wolf.
He noticed the sword zooming into his direction and barely dodged it, making the sword slash at his neck and get stuck at the ground. I had gotten a critical hit, but the damage wasn't enough for it to go down and it howled calling the rest of his pack to where he was. By now he had already noticed me standing on a tree trunk and him and the pack started circling my tree.
I was a bit stuned. I had expected it to die on my first strike, but aparently i wasn't strong enough. Well, i had to see that coming, after all, the sea o newbies that left the city only a bit before me were only killing small rabits, and foxes when in a group.
But i kept my calm, it's not like they could climb the tree after me, só i took control of the sword once again and started atacking the wolf i had alreay injured. He only dodged at the beggining but gradually i started to swing my sword faster and more precisely and finally managed to get a hit on him, but i couldn't keep it going like that.
Aimlesly swinging my sword was taking a tol on my mana pool and even if i could stay there for a long time i wouldn't be able to do it forever. Plus, the wolf i was attacking was getting tired and that's one of the reasons i had gotten a hit on him. By the time i managed to kill every one of them i would be as old as julia. And that's when i got an idea.
Actually, more like i had stoped being dumb. I wasn't tied to only using the sword, i could make use of other things, i could even hold the wolf in place...
Fuck! I was scared. That was it, it was my first fight and i got too excited and did'nt think properly.
After my revelation i tried keeping the wolf on place, and it worked... Only in the injured wolf, it seems not only is harder to manipulate living things, but if they are higher level them me then it's even harder.

Anyway, i managed to kill the first one, but that made the oders more savage then before, they started barking and tried to jump at me. I decided it was time to go all out.
I started to slowly lift every little object in my field. That made the wolfs more aware and cautious, they probably tought i would atack all of them together, but that wasn't my plann. I threw every objetc in a single wolf, together with my sword, and yanked him down. The sword got a clean hit on his neck and went trought, killing it in one strike.
The wolfs then got scared and tried to run. I only managed to kill one more before they got outside of my field. I climbed down the tree and collected my loot, some nice pelts, a pair of fangs and meat.
You have leveled up!
That was faster than i tought it would be!
After i got the hang of how to properly use my powers other fights went nice and easy and i kept killing wolfs until i was around level 10.
I split my stats evenly between int and wisdom and went back to the city.
I know i said i wouldn't go back, but that was on the heat of the moment. I had a bunch of leather to make into clothes and a bunch of newbies looking for better gear to level up faster. I wouldn't let this opportunity go to waste, not today.
I went straight to the general store and bought myself a needle, some thread and a piece of red cloth to lay down and show my goods after i made them.
After it i looked for a calm spot, away from peoples eyes to start working and found a nice fountain in a deserted area of the city. I tought it was a little suspicous for it to be só deserted in the middle of the day, but stoped thinking about that and started to prepare for work.
To my surprise, when i activated my field i felt humans behind me and when i turned around to look i saw nothing.
That's when it hit me. This place was só deserted because it was in the bandits territory.
I quickly gave those presences a big push, unleashed my sword, and said:
It seems you finally found me! (In reality i forgot about them)
Bandit – We were looking for you little girl, and you walked straight into our den.
Emily – What if it was on purpose?
Bandit – We know it wasn't, we could see you looking around to see if anyone was able to see what you were doing.
Emily – You're right, but i was going to look for you anyway.
Bandit – Yeah, right! Get her guys!
With that shout they all charged at me brandishing their daggers, there were only three of them, i could handle it.
As i made them trip i shot my sword at the guy who was speaking to me and he fell right on top of my sword. With a critical hit message he died. Leaving the other two guys.
As they got up i tried to slice the one closer to the dead guy, but he dodged. They were now aware of what i was capable of and were on stand by. They charged at me again, i tried to make them trip once more but it didn't work, i merely made them lose balance, it seems i only managed that before because i got them by surprise.
So i put my sword in front of the closer guy and started pushing the other one só that he wouldn't get close to me. The closer guy stared at the sword and i atacked, he parried every move i made with it and i couldn't shove him now, it was taking all of me to keep the secong bandit away and fighting him.
As i mananaged to get some hits on him he got closer to me. So i had to make a gamble. I released the other bandit and pushed the one i was fighting with. He lost balance and i managed to hit a strike on his neck, killing him.
But as i did that the other guy got closer to me and was going to plunge his dagger right into my chest. At that moment i panicked. I could'nt think of nothing, só i did what a little girl would do when being grabbed by a guy: I used all my force to push him away. And it worked... But he wasn't the only one sent flying away, i was too.
I hit the ground with such force that i lost my breath, i managed to stand up but i was still a little bit dizzy. Luckly the final bandit was on the same situation and with the last ounce of mana i had, i sank my sword on his belly and twisted it, killing him in the process.
Damn... And here i was, thinking i'd be able to invade the bandits hideout without even breaking a sweat!
I had to think what i would do, i had to make a plan.
I took the loot from the bandits (wich were a pair of daggers, a pair of leather shoes and more bandanas.) and got out of there and went to the adventurer's guild to actually get the quest to get rid of them.
