[th_009_v2.gif] “WAAAAAAAAA”
“Run. Run. Run. To the forest and abandon the town.”
This was like an alarm that sounded outside.
“Knock” “Knock” “KNOCK!!!”
“Who is it?” I asked.
“It’s the Innkeeper. Sir you must run to the forest. I am leaving right away myself.” said the Innkeeper through the closed door.
“Why?”
“The reason is because the scout spotted a Dragon Category 15 flying in this direction. It is said it annihilates any settlement in its path. I am sorry Sir. I am not brave enough to stay. I have warned you.”
Monster Categories
Scale 100 – 1
The lower the number, the higher level of danger and the rarer the monster.
Note: There are special categories:
- S class: Extremely Rare: Undetermined species and a little is known about them. (Avoid completely.)
- X class: Very Rare: Dangerously aggressive. Hunted and protected against.
- Z class: Quite Rare: Very friendly and helpful. Develop close attachment with first people they meet.
“I am quite happy here and don't want to leave. Thank you for the warning.”
“Take care.” Said the Innkeeper.
As I continue to struggle getting up since I was awake, another message appeared.
!!! Attention!!!
5 Million Players have been prepared and have now joined the Virtual World of Trinpik.
This message really got my attention. So I rushed outside since I was curious if they would start out the same way I did, by falling down from the sky.
A very funny thing happened then, as I was looking around I noticed a dragon not far from the village. As it was looking at ground it didn’t notice a person falling from above who was also screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Ehhhhhhhhh..... Whaaaaaaaaaa.......A draaaaaaagooooonnnnn?" [th_001_-v2.gif]
“BAMMMMMMMM!”
The falling person crashed into the dragon's head.
As they fell I could only hear a few words and see only a few motions.
The little girl falling down at the same speed as the dragon was hitting the dragon straight in its eyes over and over again. "OUCH"
"You Pervert! Pervert of a dragon."
"Stupid.... Stupid..... Stupid..."
"Stupid..... VR... Pervert dragon trying to sneak a peek under a girl’s skirt."
The girl and the dragon fell near the forest leading to the Brik’s Mountain Range.
“Ha ha ha ha “
“He he he he”
“Stupid dragon for not seeing that coming.”
I was eager to see who fell down like that so I rushed over, even Fricks followed me.
“RwoaaaaaaaaaaaaR” screamed the dragon.
The poor defenseless girl staring into the mouth of the dragon, elegantly yet gracefully with as much power as she could muster.
"Slaaaaaaaaaap."
"Do not spit on strangers or get in their way when they are falling."
Since the dragon was so much taller than the girl it stood up not to be slapped again.
However, the little girl came to one of the dragons legs.
"Bam, Bam, BAMMM" http%3a%2f%2fwww.royalroadl.com%2fforum%2fimages%2fs...%2fpunch.gif [http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/images/smilies/punch.gif]
She was now kicking the dragon’s legs. Then turned around went to a tiny bush and started kicking the bush.
"Stupid broken game....... To meet a dragon on the first day...... Defiantly a broken game..... Stupid Stupid. [th_015_orz-v2.gif]
The dragon was very angry now, as if someone had just insulted its majestic appearance.
I was laughing this entire time, including the time I ran towards them.
"ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haha ha ha"
"whoaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha"
"he he hee hee he he"
"hwua hwua"
"Got to say that was extremely funny."
Before it could attack the little girl which just slapped it I used my skill to throw a rock faster than the speed of a bullet, let’s just call it Bullet Toss.
The rock smashed turning into ash on impact.
You could see that the dragon immediately realized the real threat. So it turned its hostility away from the person standing near the bushes and looked at me.
“Gush…… BAMMMMMMM”
As I looked at the dragon that was rammed from the side at full speed by Fricks, away from the little girl, I was surprised. I have never seen Fricks fight so I just let him play around with the dragon as I approached the girl who flopped down on the ground from Frick's Impact. http%3a%2f%2fwww.royalroadl.com%2fforum%2fimages%2fs..._v2.gif%2520 [http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/images/smilies/th_009_v2.gif%20]
“Well hello there.”
“I got to say it was a very funny scene the way you crashed into the dragon.”
-------Conversation-------
Stranger: Where am I?
Salim: I myself do not know that.
Salim: Since I too came here the same exact same way you did only a year earlier, minus crashing into a Category 15 Monster.
Stranger: What’s going to happen to me? Shouldn’t we run?
Salim: Why don’t you first that welcome screen you should see in front of you.
Stranger: I see… mmmm… I see…
Salim: Do you have a name?
Stranger: It’s Vionia.
Salim: So you know your name already? Then do you also know your race or anything else before falling down from the sky?
Vionia: Yes I know my own race and where I am from originally.
Salim: Mind sharing that with me since I only found out my real name yesterday, as well as my race. However, I don’t know anything else about myself or my past, even how I got here.
Vionia: Give me a minute to collect my thoughts since all of this is so sudden and overwhelming.
Salim: Take your time. We have more urgent things to do, such as dealing with this dragon.
-------- Conversation End----------
At first, the battle between Fricks and the dragon seemed on par. However, since Fricks was still so young I knew he would be at a disadvantage. That is precisely when the dragon with its tail landed a full hit on Fricks nearly crushing him into the dragon. Fricks was in no shape to continue fighting.
I have to hand it to the dragon, he is powerful being if he’s able to do that to Fricks with one successful hit. http%3a%2f%2fwww.royalroadl.com%2fforum%2fimages%2fs...h_090_.gif [http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/images/smilies/th_090_.gif]
!!! Alert!!!
If your companion Fricks dies, then he will not respawn.
Note: You can view your companions’ stats through the pet status window.
“Oh, what’s this?”
“I will check that later.”
I knew that I could defeat the dragon with my strength alone, so I tried throwing several more rocks, which it completely ignored since it deemed Fricks to be the greater threat.
Just when the finishing blow was about to land on Fricks, another astonishing scene happened as if in slow motion.
The huge monster that I had previously fought with an undetermined category, had jumped out of the forest with full speed and rammed into the dragon.
The dragon was sent skipping roughly 50 meters on the ground until it stopped, making a large crater.
“Whoaaaaa”
My jaw and Vionia’s jaw dropped simultaneously.
The dragon stood up as quickly as it could while trying to fly up. When it was rammed several more time as they both roared with tremendous voices, I could see Vionia paralyzed on the spot. I clapped loudly which apparently woke her up from her dazed expression. I was amazed it worked.
Skill “Tremendous Clap” Acquired- Counteracts Confusion
- Wakeup Call
- Dispels Sleep Spells
- Shockwave
- With higher level may be controlled in to a specific location instead of dispersed.
Note: Can be further increased with practice. Irritates people when done too often.
At this time the dragon was being a smart creature, realizing the amount of danger and killing intent it faced.
Unknown tiger like Creature + Fricks + Me = Death to the dragon.
It hurriedly got up and flew to the sky. Without looking back it flew at a rapid speed back the way it came from.
The huge tiger-like creature disappeared in to the woods momentarily bringing several rabbits and laid them down before Fricks, who in turn started eating them.
Then it slowly approached me. I was curious what it was going to do. I knew I could react in time since it wasn’t hiding, as for Vionia, I wasn’t concerned about since she was under noob protection.
“Thank you for not killing me about a week ago.”
“Whaaa” I said. “You can speak?”
“Yes as you can see. You should know the Divine creature that accompanies you would also be able to speak as he grows older.”
“Really, Fricks is a Divine creature?”
“Yes, his species is what’s called Trifoy Veruseus. Not even I know much about him.”
*** Attention ***
Acquired new information in regard to a S class species.
“Your friend, that you call Fricks, is much more capable then even I am. I can tell you that his current form isn’t his actual form. Let me show you my true form then you’ll understand.”
After a second of bright light, there stood a big bear.
He continued to explain. That since Fricks is so young he doesn’t want to reveal his true form or perhaps he doesn’t even know his true form and just stays in his current form. He explained that if I wanted I could help him reveal his true form however, Fricks might not want to since they are a very proud species. If the time comes when Fricks does want to show his true form and power he will need the help of a moonstone in order to dispel the strong enchant that was placed on him by his mother.
I was amazed. What really amazed me even further was the next thing this creature said.
“My name is Tio. I feel that I owe you my life for not killing me. So to that extent, let me accompany you on your journey so that I may be able to repay you for your mercy!”
“Ha ha ha ha. Are you sure there isn’t an alternative reason for accompanying me?” I asked.
“I can see you’re quite smart. Truthfully, there is an alternate reason for this.”
“So what is it?” I asked.
“For a creature like me, I can only grow stronger if there are not only stronger foes but smarter as well. Thus I want to grow even stronger, learning from you as we go on our journey. I will not only sit idling around and waiting, but also engage in everything you ask me to do, so please take me with you.”
!!! Attention!!!
- You do not have the Tamer’s profession.
- You’re not allowed to have a lower-class species be your companion until the higher-class species that is currently accompanying you leaves you.
Salim: “It seems I can’t have more than one companion, and I am not replacing my current companion.”
Tio: “I cannot let myself take place of your Divine companion and wouldn’t dare too.”
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Salim: “Then, I guess you will have to settle for Vionia.”
Tio: “Isn’t she weaker than even a squirrel?”
Salim: “Yes she is. However, look at her as your cub.”
Tio: “I’ll tell you another reason why I am eager for a companion. About 2 weeks ago my Cub was stolen out of my cave. This is why attacked you without warning, I must find him and free him from his captors. Since monsters are attacked on sight in villages, towns and cities, I cannot approach a city without a so called Tamer.”
Salim: “Now everything is falling into place, but why the transformation in to a huge tiger?”
Tio: “It’s a well known fact that poachers go after tigers less frequently than after bears.”
Salim: “Vionia hurry up and accept him as your companion.”
While stuttering, Vionia was almost paralyzed due to the conversation and everything else that has transpired before her.
Vionia: “I.I….I..II….I.I ,,,,,,, Aa.ccc..cc…..ee.pttt…”
Tio: “Thank you. You should know ahead of time that I will not speak in front of anyone else besides you two. Vionia if you choose the Tamers profession, which I can bestow, the Legendary Tamer Profession, I can give it to you right now. You and I will be able to communicate telepathically. Do you, Vionia, want to become a Tamer?”
Vionia: “Yes, I accept the Legendary Tamer Profession. Yay I got it, it even says to have the class Legendary Tamer I needed the title to be bestowed on me by a special class monster.”
Salim: “Now that this is over, let’s go eat.”
As we turned around to leave, I could see faces peeking out of the forest trembling. That is when the elder came out and greeted us with a very happy smile on his face. As he shouted that everything was over and everyone could go back home I placed Vionia upon Tio since she was still in shock and started to walk towards the villages Inn. By this time Fricks recovered some of its health and strength and was also able to walk by himself. I whispered to him.
“Thank You Fricks.”
A pony sized Fricks, a polar bear size Tio, a human size me, and Vionia, who was much shorter than me, headed back towards the village. Well technically she was what they call fun size.
“He he he he.”
As we sat and ate I began to ask questions of Vionia, to see how much I could learn. To my surprise this was what I discovered.
She is:
Race: Zanil (Just like me)
Before she was put in into a hibernation chamber, she heard her parents say “Have a good journey.” She could only remember spending most of her time in a light filled room playing with her toys and going to Virtual Reality classrooms, where many different subjects were covered besides their own history. The window in her room showed an infinite amount of stars as they were moving at a tremendous speed. The last thing she remembers is hearing an announcement. ‘All of the citizen will need to enter hibernation sleep.’ That put their mind into the Virtual Reality Simulator, which would randomly scatter their consciousness amongst the entire galaxy compiling the same-age groups in the same categories and planets.
It seems that she has met other Zanil folks during the few times she was taken to markets, which she said had no sky and where interconnected by halls in-between rooms, houses, gardens and the rest of the buildings. She said it wasn’t rare to see grown-ups come and tells us that they were outside however, hiding the details of the outside from us. They only said it wasn’t time for them to tell us everything.
Before she completely went in to hibernation her parents said, “You will once again come out of the hibernation sleep when the time is right, and by then you will know the entire truth.”
I can’t dwell on the past too much so I decided to move forward, I decided to check stats / info window of Frick’s and mine while I was eating.

As the day was turning into night, Fricks rested while Tio and Vionia roamed around the small village.
What I found entertaining was reading that identification book I received from the Market. After I finished the book I gave the Market NPC his book back.
!!! Identification Skill Acquired!!!
- The ability to appraise and identify Items.
Note: The higher the level of this skill, the more information will be revealed for that item.
The only attractions, if you could even call them attractions, in this village were: the blacksmiths shop, a market, architectures/ engineering and the center plaza. The one thing that I thought stood out the most in this village was something that looked like a mithril carriage in the blacksmiths shops which had a very beautiful trim of silver, gold, and onyx stones. He even dared me to try and lift it up, to my surprise; I wasn't able to move it at all. It must have been really heavy.
It looked like something that is used for long distances travels. However, just who could afford such an item, apparently the blacksmith only sells through the market and in recent years was only working on his order for the carriage, thus there were no weapons or armors being sold since all of the ore went in to make the carriage. It really did look like a portable house with even several rooms inside, it even had windows made out of colorful river stones that could only be seen inside. It was truly magnificent for a medieval setting.
The blacksmith said it could only be pulled by a being with strength of at least 550 and stamina of no less than 3000. Even at those stats it will only be able to be pulled for about 12 hours at max.
When I asked who this is for, he only shook his head and said he didn't know however, the elder knew who it was for and the details behind it. The blacksmith also said that it was perhaps one of the princes from the Azitium Kingdom who are known for their wealth.
