We continued to perform for the rest of the day in town. In the end, we ended up with 5 gold! We used the money to buy ourselves leather armor. We decided to go hunt in the fields after the week to raise our levels.
Out in the fields we started hunting rabbits. To any observer we must look insane, punching rabbits. I can assure you on this matter, we are not. We are using our new skill Sound-Knuckle.
Sound Knuckle (Beginner Lv2: 17/200):
Channeling sound vibrations through one’s fist, damage is greatly increased.
- Ignores all armor
- Increases damage by 110%
- Costs 11 mana per hit
We unlocked this ability after being admired by 1000 viewers and it became part of our arsenal! Whenever we perform we get Skill Points based on how many people gave us money which shows their love of the music. Skill points can be used to upgrade our songs to make them more powerful.
After we killed about 100 rabbits, we leveled up. I put all my points into dexterity, and Yui put 3 points in agility and two in dexterity.
In the woods, immediately Yui climbs up a tree and jumps from branch to branch. She looks like a badass ninja! Suddenly three windows pop up. I read the description and know it must be Yui who unlocked them.
Through repeated action you have unlocked ( Sonic Step)
I never knew you could unlock skills through doing things.
Sonic Step (Beginner lvl1: 0/100)
By pushing sonic waves under people feat it allows a bard to reach impossible speeds. Because this skill is extremely dangerous it might do damage to the users feet reducing movement speed drastically if used too much in a short period of time.
- Increases movement speed by 100%
- Increases jump height by 100%
- Costs 4 Mana per second
Sound Magic Mastery/Control (Beginner lvl1: 0/100)
By learning Sound Magic you can control the emotions of the listeners. Controlling sound has many applications. Master sound mages can vibrate their body so fast they can move through solid objects. Because of your Music Mage class you are able to control sound magic outside of skills.
- Increases Sound Magic damage by 1%
- Decreases Sound Magic mana costs by 1%
OH MY AI. So we can make our own skills, we can basically teleport, and we haven’t even scratched the surface of this new power!
“Hey, Yui” I called. “ Did you see that”
“Yeah, I can’t wait to test out these new skills! Lets go find some cute little foxes to murder!” she said with a smile that sends shivers down my spine.
“Yeah, lets do that.” Remind me never to get on her bad side. Guess this girl isn't as sugar and spicy and everything nice-ey, more like murder and death with everything evil, with a blood diamond on top.
We hunted from about 9 pm to midnight, and we leveled up Sound Knuckle to beginner level 3 now dealing 130% damage. We were almost at level 5 and on our way to a dungeon when a serious issue came up.
“Hey, Yui, so what happens when I log out, do you also come, will I be able to talk to you in my head, or what.”
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
“Honestly Paul, I don't know log out and we can find out.”
“Ok lets find out” I opened up my menu and selected the logout button but a window that no-one wants to see came up.
Unable to log out. Unknown error, we will get back to you shortly when we have resolved the issue, please stay calm and continue enjoying the game.
My face went pale. I must have been standing like that looking at the window for almost five minutes when
“Paul, are you there?”
“Yeah Yui, i’m here.”
“Why didn’t you log off?” she asked innocently
“I can’t! The system won't let me log out! I think you're the reason why!”
“What, no Paul, I didn’t have anything to do with this!”
“No! You're lying!” I started to run away, not looking where I was going, I just wanted to be alone. After a few minutes I realized I wasn't on the ground anymore, I was falling.
“AHHHHHHHH!” I yelled. Whats happening? How did I fall in? Why did I leave Yui? I thought to Yui “ Yui, please help me, I fell down a pit, I still haven't reached the bottom please save me!”
“Ugh took you long enough, don’t worry, I already jumped down the hole with you, I think we are almost near the bottom.” Sure enough we fell into a pool of water, probably put their so players won’t die. Yui falls down a minute later.
I help her get out of the water and then we take in our bearings. We are in a cave, duh, there's a passage leading away from where we are, their is a large pedestal with torches around it on what looks like an altar, and an old man. First we go to the old man, for the inevitable quest. Creepy cave, religious thingamabobber, person. Yup this is a quest if i've ever seen one.
“Hello elder why are you down in this dark cave if i may inquire?” I ask as though i’m in medieval times.
“Hello adventurer, I am Elvisoral, this is where I wait in search of the next legend.”
“What legend”
“Oh you have never heard of me, my stage name is Elvis I was considered a Rock legend. Although I was the only person who could play rock, seeing as I had the legendary artifacts. HO HO HO. Wait, who is that girl!”
“Oh, thats my sister Yui”
“I have decided you Yui shall inherit my legend!” he says with great enthusiasm. “Oh, you can take your brother with you.” he says dismissively “I want you to bring rock back to this world, I have hidden four instruments around the continent, the first is here on the altar of legends. Take the instrument from the altar and follow your destiny”
“Yes, Mr. Pervert Elvisoral.” Yui says kindly. She walks over to the altar and her eyes light up. “Paul come over here! You have got to see what this is!”
I walk over to the altar to see why she is so excited. My jaw drops, their on the altar is a microphone a 21st century microphone. This game is set in medieval times, how can their be a microphone. This is amazing.
“Yui, do you know what this means!”
“Yeah, lets go find the other artifacts!”
“Oh kids, I need to tell you some important things first.”
He steps forward and the world goes black.

Thanks for the Edits Retep- didn't notice the beat punch thing, that was sonic knuckle's original name, but I changed it. Also just wanted to give a basic overview, they are going to train more, I just wanted them to have a goal for their training. Also I'm going to mix the fact that they are called Music Mage's to have more to do with the fights so if anyone has good songs they think i should use please comment them down below.
