6. My first raid - 1

I was looking now at a big wooden door. It was a night and we were standing at the cemetery. It was located near the forest, and all I could see were headstones. Almost all of them were small, cheap and didn't had a name on them. Only some looked somewhat good.

One of them was now in front of me.

A crypt made of red brick. On it's roof there was a big silver cross and above the door there was a nameplate.

"Here lies a great knight Randle the Handsome. May his soul rest in peace." I read the sign. I don't know if he really was that handsome, but I wasn't here for that reason.

I was here to kill him. Well, you might say that he is already dead. Well, that's right but for some reason he became a zombie.

It's all part of a quest "Old and scary stories". It's part of the main quest, and to do this you need to have 15 lvl.

Anyway this quest is bigger than the rest, and for doing it you get more rewards than normally. The reason is simple. It's a raid.

"I'm so excited!" I heard Brian's voice.

Yeah, that was it. Our first raid. The most important thing in MMORPGs. Of course some people like PVP more but I love raids. I love going with your group to do big quests.

"Don't be. It's not that big of a deal." FoXy replied.

Well, maybe she was right. We could do this raid with three people. But still, it was a raid. Can't you be a little excited?

We still didn't join any guild, and we were doing quests alone. Well, it's not like there are many guilds for now. The RaS is still young, and I want to wait to join any guild. It's still hard to see if the guild you are joining is a good one, and if the people there want to play seriously.

"I don't think we will have any problems, but stick to the plan." FoXy said and opened the door.

After that we entered the crypt.

Inside of it there was a coffin. It was heavily decorated, and it was made of a beautiful kind of wood. It looked rich and nice but there was one problem. It was empty.

Before the coffin there was a flat stone that was hiding some kind of stairs under it. They were going underground and the only way to follow them was to get rid of the stone. When I approached it a window popped out.

"To enter this raid you need to have 15 lvl or more. Do you want to enter?" it said.

After accepting it, I saw a loading screen. I was in this white space, just like when I was creating my character. After a minute of waiting I was teleported to a new location. I was now standing on brick stairs. Everything was dark and I couldn't really see anything.

Above me there was the same piece of stone which I used to enter this place.

"Oh you are already here." I heard familiar voice. It was FoXy.

She was just teleported here after me. Then, after Brian showed up we started going downstairs. There was no reason to wait.

After walking for some time we saw a big wooden door. When we opened it we saw a big room. It was all dark and empty, with just some columns int it. Then we heard a weird noise.

It was like bones rubbing against each other.

It was a normal, naked skeleton with a short sword and shield. He was patrolling this room and he didn't seem to see us.  

"I will get his attention. Lilly, use your buffs on me, and when I need it heal me. Brain, just hit him with your bow. Understand?" FoXy said and after we agreed she went to attack him.

It wasn't a hard fight, and after maybe a minute we killed him. This skeleton gave us a lot of experience and gold, and even if we divided it into three, we still got more than after fighting with normal mobs.

And it wasn't the only things that was good in doing raids. When you kill a boss of a raid you can get a rare item. You can use it if it's for your class, and even if it's not you can sell it for a lot of gold.

"Ufff." Brain started panting after this fight.

"Are you tired? We can get a rest if you are." I said after looking at him.

When he heard me he straightened up immediately.

"N-No! Of course we don't need to take a break! Hehehe. It was so easy hehe!"

I don't understand him.

Anyway, we fought in the same way with any monster we encountered in here. There were all different. Wraiths, zombies, skeletons but each of them was easy to kill if we used our tactic.

After maybe ten minutes of fighting we saw a big golden door. It was different than others because it was bigger and had some kind of letters on it but I couldn't read them.

"It must be a boss." I said after looking at them.

I played many MMORPGs so I know a boss room when I see one.

"Think we can handle it?" Brian asked.

"Are you asking this now?!" FoXy replied and then started opening the door. She didn't wait, and she didn't want to prepare for the fight. I didn’t think it was smart but what can happen? It's just a first raid.

When she did that we saw a big room. It was bigger than any other room we were in. It had many burning candles and books. All of them were placed in some kind of circle and in the middle of it there was a woman.

She was young and her skin was  really pale. She was wearing a long white dress. Her hair was long and dark and she was looking at the floor, as if she didn't noticed that we were there.

"What do we do?!" Brian asked but FoXy didn't wait to answer him. She just entered the room.

When she did it the woman looked at us. Her eyes were all white just like her skin. After that she started screaming. It didn't sound like a human scream.
