VRMMO | Terris Story: Someone "Them"

07: Alice, Little Silver

"Wake up, Elcia."

A voice called out to him, however, the one with the name replied lazily. "Hmr. . . Luna, half an hour, please."

"Luna is not here!" shouted Alice.

Shouted rather loudly and hearing a voice she knew well, Elcia woke up.

"Uuh. . , Morning. . " he said, rubbing his eyes. Before finally realizing that his head was in Alice's lap.

"Huh, finally. . . Come on princess sleep, there's the Demon Halfling's Quest" said Alice, playing the girl's silver-white hair.

"Am, Alice. . ? How long?" ask Elcia.

"Heh, the whole field saw you sleep almost two days you know?"

Linnea got up instantly as well, sitting with her eyes wide open. ". . . Really?"

Two days of sleep is no longer sleep, but exercise dies. Fortunately, they were inside Terris, which meant the girl only slept for about eight hours.

But still, the Terrian people who were in that place became worried to see Elcia who was lying still for two days. Leaving the occasional Alice must deal with the questions and concerns that come.

Alice also became familiar with the people in that place after long enough to practice —although the way the girl spoke was still sharp piercing. After all, they were already amazed to see Alice who persevered to face Bill.

"Now, come on, we have to go hunt down Forest Wolf" Alice said, immediately giving Elcia a cloth-wrapped weapon. "This is your weapon."

...————...

A weapon that was exactly like the shadow of Elcia. A Rapier that fully had the same appearance as a Training Rapier, only this time it was much better. For some time, he ended up looking at the Rapier with bated breath. Meanwhile, Alice could only smile wryly seeing that she had to be bound by the condition of her Sub Quest.

Damn coach, he said.

Turning from her Rapier, Elcia wanted to ask about the Quest Alice had said. However, the girl instantly realized Alice was only matching a Long Sword Training. Makes her remember that Alice hasn't gotten a gun until now.

"Um. . , Alice, your weapon?"

". . . I expected." murmured Alice, followed by a short sigh.

Elcia slightly tilted her head hearing it, demanding a clear answer. "Nm. . ?"

Too tired to explain, Alice opened the Quest panel before her.

"See for yourself. . ."

Special Condition :

Using the Long Sword Training

Finished reading it at a glance, Elcia was staring with a face still asking; really?

"I don't want to, do I?" said Alice.

Moving on, Alice visits a store and buys some must-carry items in a fantasy world; Health Potion and Mana Potion.

This time both pay with the money the system gives. Only ten silver —1,000 Rea, they chose the cheapest potion there was in the store.

Herbs made from medicinal plants. Enough to recover a small wound after drinking. It is the lowest quality.

Type: Consumable

Restored Mana: 20

The herb is made from medicinal herbs to restore a little Mana after being taken. It is the lowest quality.

...————...

Buying ten Health Potions and Mana Potions each, both of them cost six Silver. It was quite wasteful, but compared to the price of the second fixture, it was far adrift.

Put it in a Common Traveler Bag that hangs on the back waist of —Waist Bag, both of them walk away.

. . .

For the first time, they left the village of Nave. Although it will not be too far considering both are still beginners.

The problem is, there is no Minimap view or some sort of map the system provides. Terris requires each player to read the map manually, even if one has one — which is bad enough for directional blinds like Alice and Elcia.

Walking without a definite direction, they finally reached the edge of the forest.

Luckily, the Basmael forest surrounds the village. So no matter the direction, anyone will arrive. It was also one of the reasons how this place was quite difficult to visit from the outside because of its danger.

Before entering, the two crossed paths with a pair of players who came out from behind the forest trees.

No wonder, after all Halfling race players had improved greatly since the last time the two noticed.

But, if seen better, the men came out in poor condition; Scratches and red stains on a person using metal armor. A sword still dripping blood was attached to his back, as well as showing broken parts or having damage. Then, a player with his tattered skin armor had wounds on many sides.

Enough, it's already too horrible. Elcia who had a cringe at the sight of blood could only tremble, putting on a deathly pale face.

Elcia automatically remembered the "Gore" setting installed on the 'Realistic Mode' setup according to the basic default. Before, he didn't really care about it. But now, disabling it was the best option. Immediately made the look of blood removed from his sight, and the wounds were replaced with white lines of various sizes.

The girl took a deep breath to calm down.

And when it was close enough, one of them said to the two — together with Elcia who was hiding behind Alice's back.

"Hey, you two! Don't go into the woods now!"

Raising eyebrows together, Alice and Elcia were filled with curiosity. Start noticing a player who is warning them.

He used a two-meter long Polearm, a Naginata*. Long black hair ponytailed, with metal Chestplate —chest protector, which is rather large around the 'it' part'. And a dark brown leather armour underneath. Alice immediately knew if the girl was trying to become Onna-Bugeisha* —thanks to Elcia being a nerd.

Alice asked directly. "What's wrong?"

"Only the two of us survived the nine people in my group. The forest is too dangerous!" inexplicably.

Alice immediately said, taking a little look. "Then?"

"Then? Not clear? Don't come in if you want to survive! You're only two people after all! Dan—" was immediately cut by the person next to him.

"Enough, Haru. Your warning is more than enough, isn't it, silver girl?"

Alice looked at the person who said the word, 'silver girl' just like how Bill called her. A man with dark red hair, who carried a great sword on his back.

"You. . ? Ah for a second, the one who also beaten the demon Halfling, huh?" alice said, remembering the face before her. He had seen him, who either came suddenly and asked Bill to do a match practice.

The results are clear, battered with Health dying.

"I hate to remember it, you know?" he said with a bitter smile. He felt himself too stupid at the time.

"Same" said Alice.

"Wait, that silver girl you mean, her? Little Silver are people talking about?" sela Haru after hearing the conversation of the two.

"That's how it is." she replied, nodding.

Alice gave a sharp look. The girl did not like his call at all. "I have a name, Alice! So stop that call! And, what the fuck is that Little Silver?!"

"Oh, I'm sorry if it's rude. So, Alice, do you know the nickname you were given?" said Haru, turning around to ask a question.

"Obviously you don't know, do you? Don't even ask!" answer Alice with a sniff. He focused on his Quest and began to ignore it around afterwards. How did he know about that?

"The sword as per the rumors, now I'm sure there's no wrong person." Haru muttered as he nodded.

After all silver hair is not uncommon among players, even quite popular. But the hair of the two girls themselves was a bit white to be silver, yet also gray to be called white. Makes it rather unique.

"I heard that!" he shouted, getting annoyed to see Haru.

Finding that the atmosphere was deteriorating, the red-haired man immediately interrupted the two. "Enough. Listen to me, Little Silver is your nickname because you're the only beginner player who can stick with that coach."

Alice squinted her eyes.

"Ha. . ?"
