Spellbound by Hidori
Chapter 1 - Scarlet red and leaf green
Last day of middle school is surprisingly dull, granted it is all the more dull and slow because of what will be waiting at home when it’s done.
Kwan had a tough time trying to convincing his parents to buy the capsule needed to play royal road sooner, but they were quite adamant that he didn’t get it until the summer break before high school.
That might have been easier to swallow if they had not already bought their capsules half a year ago.
Being the only one in the house that can’t play the game is annoying, but the maddening part is that they are after all complete beginners when it comes to RPGs and asks almost every day for advise on parts of the game they do not understand.
At least his two best friends are only getting theirs a few days after his; they are sister and brother and almost always go for healer/tank combo in RPGs, so they will most likely steamroll the monsters when they are let out of the town. He will need every extra day to get the head start needed to keep up with them.
Interrupting his deep introspection about the inevitable stats grinding needed to keep up with the twins.
S-“Hey Kwan, are you getting the capsule today?” asked the slightly smarter of the terror twins duo.
K-“Oh, hey Shin, yeah it should be there when I get home later” looking around, there is no sign of the abusive and violent part of the terror twins.
K-“Say, where is Yuri? I can’t seem to see your sister”
S-“Ha, she is preparing a few things; we are done with the school after today, so we might get the best out of the last day”
K-“….”
S-“Oh right, if any of the teachers bags are filled with mice, try to act surprised”
K-“…..”
S-“I’m not really sure if she can pull it off, but they might have their guard down since it is the last day after al”
K-“….. I dread for the life of all the NPCs that have to share a town with you two for a month”
S-“meh, no need for that, Yuri is going to spend most of the month in the training hall, and I am going to work to feed us both and get us the coin for some decent gear”
K-“Gear? Won’t that be a little overkill for bunnies and foxes?”
S-“Sure, but we are planning to go after the wolves to try out the combat and then go straight for the nearest dungeon”
K-“……………..that’s crazy…. But with the boosted stats from the training hall it might just work”
S-“Yup, and if we take on to much we can just return to the wolves, by the way, have you decided on a class and city yet?
K-“I’m thinking a mage of some kind, but ill figure it out when I am inside the game. As for city, I’m not quite sure”
S-“Well if you don’t mind going for the same city as us, you can come to Serabourg in the Rosenheim Kingdom. I believe it is big enough for it to have a mage guild”
K-“Serabourg? Is Yuri going to try applying for The Red Order?”
S-“Good Guess, so are you up for it?”
K-“Sure, may as well”
S-“Oh, another thing, wont it be fun if we all had flaming red hair and green eyes? That way the 3 of us will really look like a set”
K-“Wait, you want all 3 of us to go ginger? That’s not as intimidating as you might think; besides I’m going to pick an elf”
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
S-“No we aren’t thinking copper red, we are thinking true red, scarlet, vermillion, FLAMING FURY RED!”
K-“I see…”
S-“besides, both of us are going for elf as well”
K-“that’s insane… you do know that the elf race starts with less strength and have less physical stat growth then humans, Yuri might as well chop off an arm trying to become a knight with that disadvantage”
S-“yes well, the greater the hurdle the bigger the reward, an elf knight is rare so we will have an easier time getting recognized in the player community”
K-“rare is a severe understatement”
S-“meh, we are already committed to it, what is the fun in playing a fantasy game and chose to play human, that’s beyond dull if
you ask me”
K-“that’s true I guess”
S-“So? Are you in on the plan? We just use the same words when we describe the color, that way we can have the same shade of red and green”
K-“Green?”
S-“Yup, Scarlet red and leaf green”
K-“hmm, well it might be fun, sure I’ll play along”
