Chapter 4 First confrontation with Gregory's enemies
A few days ago the migration event started ( aka launch day) to add more of a realistic feeling to the game they only allowed players to spawn at certain areas.
The village where I spawned Gremora wasn't included so staying here to long might cause problems.
Oh yeah I finally got my user ID, this way I don't have to risk getting unmasked for now, but when Azura unlocks it's open season... great I'll get chased around by the entire player community *sighs*.
Players are definitely worse than most monsters probably because it's just a game for them. I tend to forget that this world is a game it's just on that level realism or I am just that desperate to forget the real world...
"Hey Thane wake up" I heard Greg's voice in the distance, followed by me getting shaked by my shoulders.
" Thane wake up already or do you need a kiss to wake up!" I slowly opened my eyes and saw Gregory's face closing in almost by instinct I tried punch him but he stopped my hand and kissed it. I looked at him my eyes wide open in surprise (still poker facing), he smiled at me." Good morning princess."
I got up brushing the leaves of my clothes. Gregory reached toward my head and picked a leaf out of my hair.
" We should get going to a bigger village"he said looking at the map. "
Is it okay?" I asked. He looked at me blankly " What do you mean?".
"Well you're a court magician right?" he put on his cat smile. "The village elders decided it would be better if I looked after you to prevent further danger." I shrugged. "Ah ...I see".
'Like I ever caused any danger pfff'.
We decided to go one of the beginner areas in the summer plains; St Maria a highly religious starting city and well their gods are the Azurian Celestials...*sighs*

"Don't worry you should be fine with that user ID" he said comforting me. 'Tch he reads me right through my poker-face'
As we approached the gate one of the guards looked at me strangely and I noticed a strong killing intend beside me, the guard quickly put on a smile and let us through.
The streets where full of players most where still novices but there where a few higher leveled ones and they had already noticed us I could feel them starring at me. Well Gregory wasn't going unnoticed either with his flashy court mage uniform. " those two must be pretty high level huh, but what are they doing in a place like this" I heard one of them say.
To be honest human form is only level 6 but my true form; Thanatos is at the level-cap. Don't know what level Gregory is though.
After wandering through the streets two girls approached us" Could we come and hunt with you guys we're only level 12 but we'll do our best" they declared with hope in their eyes.
'Level 12?? I'm only level 6...' before I could say anything Gregory stood and front of me and looked at me with a devilish smile, turned towards the girls and said:" I'm sorry my fair ladies but I have to deny your request." They stared at us and asked"Why?". Gregory continued:"Well because we would only be a bother to you since we are of lower level and pretty boy behind me is well...MINE..."
The girls blushed when they looked at me as they passed.
When I finally realized what had happened all I could do was stare at Gregory blankly. He noticed and chuckled" What are you starring for?" He took my hand and dragged me along...
