Erebus glanced around as he blinked light from his eyes,
“My my, this place well I can finally explore like I’ve always wanted” a slight grin appearing on Erebus face. Slowly he began moving towards the training hall, while enjoying the sights and sounds of the city, and the occasional cries of other players
“Power level you to 100” said one
“Join the warrior’s guild today, and become a mighty hero” yelled a burly warrior over the chatter
The smile on Erebus face grew wider; however as the surrounding players and NPCs could not make out the top of his face it appeared rather sinister.
“That’s a scary smile” commented nearby rouge to a passing NPC.
“Yeah it really is isn’t it, why is he so happy to be at a training hall?” concurred the NPC
Ignoring them, Erebus stepped inside, rows of scarecrows lined along the hall. The Instructor stared from his seat nearby, but Erebus payed him no mind, he straight away he walked over to the rows of wooden swords on the wall, but to the Instructors surprise he grabbed two swords, “what are you doing adventurer” said the instructor quizzically.
“Is there a problem with using two swords” said Erebus shortly, wanting to begin as soon as possible
“Err… no I’m just surprised that’s all, it rare to see someone use twin swords, twin daggers perhaps but swords, a rare skill for certain.” Replied the instructor
“Stat window”

Alright let’s do this thought Erebus
-Four weeks pasted with Erebus gaining 30 points in strength, vitality and agility also creating a few new stats

But what made Erebus really break out in a grin was the creation of a new skill
https%3a%2f%2ffbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net%2fh...6634_n.jpg [https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-9/10313364_683616318361517_4613019050242256634_n.jpg]

And at the end his stat window looked far more impressive

With Erebus four weeks up, he left the city preparing to go hunt foxes. His only weapons being twin wooden swords, which he had borrowed from the instructor. Erebus knew that the swords were not effective and the durability was low, but Erebus also knew that he had no money to spend on weapons, but he reason that if he killed at least 10 foxes before the swords broke, he would be able to afford simple iron blades from the blacksmith.
Sizing up the first fox that he came across he move with smooth movement of a predator towards the fox. Moving quickly towards the fox he, ducked under the fox’s lunge and turned cracking one of his swords against the flanks of the animal dealing 10 damage, turning itself quickly the fox began running at him at a fast pace with a vicious kick Erebus knocked the fox’s snout to the side and hit with his twin blades across the foxes face

Grinning Erebus turned to his next target
As Erebus dispatched the final fox, the distinct sound of both his swords breaking echoed through the forest, hmmm guess it’s time to head back to the city. As Erebus turned to go he heard a voice
“You there, boy”
Turning towards the voice he noticed an old man sitting underneath a tree
“I’m am impressed by your fighting methods” continued the old man
Looking at him, his appearance wasn’t impressive, he looked for all the worlds like a beggar and over the course of the day, He had herd the same old man ask for coin. But Erebus was nothing but curious about any NPC that deigned to speak to him and in response replied
“I’m only a beginner at the moment but I hope to grow stronger”
The old beggar looked at Erebus with a surprisingly sharp gaze, and said
“why is it that you wish to be strong?”
Erebus considered the question; while it seemed innocuous Erebus couldn’t shake a strange feeling about this question. In this situation most players might respond, to become emperor or other lofty goals, however Erebus had a wish far different from nearly all players in this respect.
“I wish to wander this wide world, seeing and exploring, and for that I need to be strong.” Said Erebus honestly slightly shrugging
In response to this the old man began to laugh loudly “kekekekek, hah a man following the same goal as me, how unexpected” his laughter dwindling the beggar looked seriously at Erebus and said, “there is a dungeon nearby and in there is my old adventuring cloak, retrieve it for me and in return I’ll tell you a few story’s about my days as an adventurer.

Erebus eyes widened, a quest, well Erebus knew there was only one response to that “I accept.”
