Arita... Our hero, who killed the Pumpkin King last time... Is now doing what he wants to do.
Aka looking at the scenery.
He doesn't know what to do... There's time till the next boss. So should he train? But which skills?
Arita decides to go back to the Smith. Gain more strength and precision.
But when he goes there he meets the person who saved him.
The swords hero was well... A swordsman. Had a big blade on his back and he had medium armor. He had short golden hair, green eyes. The swordshero was... Medium height. About 180 cm's aka 1 meter and 80 centimeters.
The swordshero was arguing with Eric the smith.
Eric stood tall as he was 2 meters and 20 centimeters. He had smith's clothing on. Eric had blue eyes and brown hair. His hair was a little bit dark-brown though.
They were arguing about a sword.
The sword was Eric's masterpiece. He wanted to give it to somebody Arita heard. When he approached Eric looked really happy and approached him.
Eric: "This is the boy whose sword it is! Not your sword Jav!"
Jav aka the swordshero: "It's mine because I want it! I want the sword and I will get this sword!"
Eric: "No point in arguing! It's this boys sword and you can't do anything about it! Just bugger off will ya!"
Arita: "Umm... Eric...?"
Eric: "Don't worry Arita. This swordshero named Jav wanted your sword. I put my whole heart to making it and he saw me create it and immediatly wanted it. Damn arrogant people who get a special class. Luckily you aren't like that."
Jav: "So it's this boy huh! He doesn't seem worthy enough for a masterpiece! Give it to me now boy!"
Arita: "I will not!"
Arita (to himself): "This must be the skill Iron Will... I usually wouldn't talk back to people..."
Arita opens the Iron Will skill window to see more about it.
Iron Will - The player who gets this skill will have the power to resist any mental attack. His mind is as solid as metal. This can change into higher forms because there are people who only have mental attacks. For example the class: Politician. This skill also activates when the user wants it to. It doesn't allow the user to give up until he knows he has no chance.
Arita was glad he got this skill because otherwise he would have had to give the sword to the arrogant swordshero.
Jav: "Damn brat! Duel me!"
Arita: "Ok. In a weeks time though!"
Jav: "Fine with me! I have time! The duel will be at 17:00 a week from now! The day afture the weekly boss fight!"
Arita: "Fine with me you arrogant bastard."
Jav walks off enraged. Suddenly the healer who was in the boss fight healing Arita comes closer. It was a woman with who was very short.
She was only 1 meter and 50 centimeters tall. She had long silver hair and elf ears.
Healer: "Umm... Hello... I'm Janitha... I'm very sorry about my brother Jav... Ever since he got that special class he became arrogant thinking he was better than everyone..."
Arita: "No problem Jantha."
Eric: "It's only annoying to argue with a brat. It doesn't do anything else though Janitha!"
Janitha: "I'm glad... But... I'm very sorry!"
Janitha bows down to apologize.
Arita: "Raise your head Janitha. It's no big deal. I'll just get a new stepping stone."
Janitha: "Ok... Well I'll be on my way."
Janitha leaves, Arita and Eric begin discussing things about the sword.
Eric: "So... We obviously can't use the sword in the fight because it is the prize."
Arita: "But this sword is on the edge of breaking."
Eric: "Let's see... Maybe you can make a new one?"
Arita: "Can I really? My smithing is only level 1..."
Eric: "It doesn't matter. It's still better than this old one."
Arita: "True... Let me try."
Eric prepeares the smithing gear and things for him.
Arita: "Thanks.."
Eric: "No problem! You are my student afture all!"
Arita: "I'll begin working!"
Arita begins striking the iron to make it into a sword. The Smithing skill works like this: You imagine the weapon you want in your mind while you strike the iron or other material and then when you've hit it enough it will form.
Afture the tenth hit the sword begins to form.
The fifteenth hit made the hilt.
The 20'th hit made the sword fully form.
A pop-up appeared.
Arita made his first sword. The sword will be better than usual due to beginners luck. The name of the sword is "Iron Sword"
Arita closed the pop-up. But another one appeared.
Smithing skill increased to two level two.
Arita jumped up as he made his first sword AND got his smithing skill to level two.
Arita worked on training for the rest of the week. Just before his boss fight he looked at his stats and skills.

It was time... For the boss fight. He was teleported to the boss room with the rest of the players.
This time the boss was The Ghost of Evermore.
A ghost boss mob. It had the appearance of a black ghost. It had no legs and bright red glowing eyes. It had long shadowy arms what were detached from his body. He had no hair.

He opened up it's stats.
Name: The Ghost of Evermore
Strength - 500
Agility - 500
Vitality - 750
Magic - 500
Dexterity - 500
Charisma - 0
Class: Boss Mob
Details - The ghost of Evermore. A weekly boss mob. Summons small ghosts what are considerably weak. The small ghosts come in big numbers though.
It didn't seem like a big opponent. Though it had 7500 health... That was going to be troublesome.
The group was split up. Arita was the only one who wasn't assigned to any other group. He was... His own group let us say. He didn't have the things the other's had. He was a half-thief half-swordsman so he wasn't put into any group.
Arita had his own task. To get the first hit in. When the doors opened he rushed in and stabbed the ghost right in the eye. Seems he was correct. The eyes are one of the spots where he can be targeted.
Soon afture him shields rushed in and formed a shield wall. A phalanx formation-like thing.
Magicians and ranged users were near the exit raining hell.
Thieves and other stealth-classes were stabbing it from the back. It was the exact same strategy like last time. Arita... Was rushing around using his new sword to slash and stab the eyes.
He gave the Ghost some trouble. The reason the ghost didn't catch him because the moment the ghost tried to attack Arita his defences and offensive capabilities were switched and he became a target for the sword and spear users.
The strategy was perfect.
The ghosts he spawned were immediatly taken care of by the barrages of magic and arrows. Arita was fast enough to dodge the arrows and then waited for the explosions to end from the magicians until charging in again.
It only took an hour to take down the boss.
He got 2 things.
Gained items - Core of the Ghost of Evemore and Ghost Boots.
He opened up the details for both of them.
Core of the Ghost of Evemore - Gives the player who owns this the ability to spawn ghosts. Can revive the ghost of evemore with special rituals. The ghost of evermore becomes the slave of the spawner.
Ghost boots - Gives the wearer speed boosts. Increases agility by 30 points.
He was surprised by the core. He could spawn the ghost of evermore. And ontop of that it would be his slave.
Another pop-up came up.
Arita the Caretaker leveled up. Increasing stats by 75.
Arita: "Nice..."
He opened up his stats.
Strength - 175
Agility - 160 + 30
Vitality - 140
Magic - 140
Dexterity - 120
Charisma - 165
Class - Caretaker.
He also gained a new title.
Gained new title - Evermore Ghost slayer.
When he was about to walk out Jav approached.
Jav: "Oi brat! Wait!"
Arita: "What is it Jav."
Jav: "Our deal's tomorrow right. At the colloseum?"
Arita: "Yup. Where else?"
Jav: "Good. Can't wait to get my hands on that sword. I don't want to admit this but good job."
Arita: "Thanks. By the way.. Who thought of that plan? The formation?"
Jav: "That formation? That was made by the person who owns the class Strategist."
Arita: "But our deals still on?"
Jav: "Yeah. I won't be this friendly to you anymore. You bastard who tries to steal from me."
Arita: "You're no better than me then."
Jav: "HAHAHAHA. I'm the swordshero! Your class is probably something low!"
Arita: "I am... The caretaker."
Jav: "The caretaker? HAHAHAHA that sounds USELESS."
Arita: "I will show you what the caretaker can do!"
Janitha approached Arita.
Janitha: "Stop fighting!"
Arita: "Oh Janitha! Nice healing!"
Janitha (blushing): "T..Thanks..."
Jav: "Sister! Why are you blushing towards this... BASTARD."
Janitha: "But... You see how good he looks... And how well he gets a long with the NPC's and the NPC teachers..."
Jav: "Theyre just A.I! They're useless scum!"
Arita: "Don't you dare talk about Eric and the others like that!"
Arita punches Jav full strength throwing him straight into the wall. He falls unconcious due to the strong punch.
Janitha: "Brother Jav!"
Arita: "Bastard."
Janitha: "You... Hurt... Jav... How? How strong are you?"
Arita: "My stats are all over 100. My strength is 175."
Janitha: "Jav's is only... 120... What level?"
Arita: "2."
Janitha: "My... God... How much did your stats increase when you leveled up?"
Arita: "75 points all."
Janitha: "All of us usually get 5-10 points in our stats each level up... Depends on the class though..."
Arita: "Hmm... Guess my class is really a Cheat Class."
Janitha: "Cheat... Class?"
Arita: "The caretaker was given to the first person to enter. I had 1 day of getting to know Lumina before others. Due to my... Circumstances...."
Janitha: "I won't pry into those circumstances... But lucky you..."
Arita: "Hahahaha! You should check on Jav though. I punched him pretty hard."
Janitha: "He won't die that easily."
Arita: "I'll be on my way then! Bye Janitha!"
Janitha: "Bye..."
Arita leaves. Everybody was impressed by the stats of Arita. He accidentaly let out something he shouldn't.
Next time the fight between Arita and the swordshero Jav will begin.
It's quite obvious who will win though...
But IS IT?
