Reality or nightmare(Private)

Ichiro stopped Zero, a fireball just missing his face "Zero! we need to be careful! I happened to do some research, and I know a spell that might help!" Ichiro began to chant magic words, then said, "Clouds Of Ice!" A huge cloud began to form in the sky, and large chunks of ice fell from the cloud. The ice chunks began to be attracted to the salamander fire mages, and when they hit, they froze them in solid ice."That should teach them, come on Zero, Lets go!!" He began to run in a general direction.

"Not even our first day and a raid already? What do you three wanna do?" Asked Zero. "I say we run them out of town." Said Saber. "There's nothing in the rule book about fighting back right??" Asked Lance. Zero sighed and stood up and said, "Section two paragraph thirteen states that if a territroy leader by all means is slain that the enemy country that did it can raid their town for three days. But there's nothing in the rule book that states that the people can't fight back and take back what's rightfully theirs." He held up the rule menu pointing and Lance took a closer look.

Though when fire magic started flying at them Zero knocked the table up and over and used it as a form of shield. Though when the table burst and vanished Sabwer was fast to jump out with a loud yell and she cleaved the idiot who was aiming at them in two. "Ha suck on that you losers!!!" She said loudly as she ran and dodged all their magic attacks. "Saber you crazy!! Oh man she's gone off the deep end." Said Lance with a groan. "You should give her some back up. I got sir stubborn here who claimed he won't fight till he has a bow. I'm going to go buy him one if there's anything left after this raid." Said Zero grabbing Ichiro and bolting.

Ichiro laughed, saying, "Well, I suppose I should tell you, but I'm kinda a natural at flying" He chucked nervously. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you in the PM, but I didn't want you to, well lets see, Freak out..." Ichiro stood up suddenly, pointing "WHATS THAT!!" He was pointing at a group of approaching salamanders someone in the distance yelled, "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!!"

Zero who picked himself up sent a PM back saying, "Alright on my way.." He was walking when he was suddenly tackled from behind landing flat on his face and the woman who had jumped him looked right at him and said, "It is you wow I'm surprised you're even here Zero!!" Looking at her Zero said, "Saber...?" "That's right the one and only!" Said the blond laughing. She was heaved off by another man and Zero looked at him and smiled saying, "Lance I take it?" "Yep so is the kid here with you?" Asked Lance. "Yeah he is I was just going to meet him." Said Zero.

Saber leaned in and whispered, "So you still a GM or what?" Zero nodded and she smirked before saying, "What are we waiting for let's go meet the squirt!" The three of them heading off to the in and saw Ichiro sitting in the corner at a table. As they all took their seats Lance said, "Zero man you need a new jacket yours is ripped." "Yeah kinda had a crash course with a tree and well got stuck till it tore and I was eating dirt." Said Zero laughing.

Ichiro, deciding to try flying for himself, found it not so hard. He was a natural. When he first began to fly he yelled "THIS IS SO EASY!!" When Ichiro received the pm from Zero he realised that it must not be ment to be easy. Ichiro sent Zero a pm saying "Oh, where do you want to meet up? I'm in town, we can meet at an inn if you would like." Ichiro scanned the area from above looing for a sutable inn then added to his PM "The Prancing Penguin looks nice!"

Zero was already in the game two hours prior but saw Ichiro sign up. So the first thing he did was send a PM to the boy saying, "Flying bad idea... I'm stuck in a tree at the moment...." A rip was heard that moment as his shirt he was hanging off a branch by tore and poor Zero fell right on his face with a yelp. "Aw man I'd rather use my own two feet at this rate!!" He whined.

Shiro looked up at him wide-eyed."Really..? I mean, that's awesome! And Lin, Im sorry too, I should have known that you had your reasons... Oh ya, can I have help with this problem?? It's really hard??" Shiro asked intently.

(Later that night)

"Link start!"Shiro jumped into the starting screen, he was presented with the options of races in ALfheim. He searched for the charcter that Lin had told him to find and choose."Here it is! Slyph!" Shiro then entered his name as Ichiro. Ichiro entered the world of Alfheim Online.

Lin just made up their sandwiches feeling guilty. He was scared but at the same time it was good money and to pay his and Shiro's doctor bills he'd need it. He sighed and went over to the phone dialing back the number. Once the CEO answer Lin said, "This is Mr Saito here I'll be taking your job offer." Talking for a few more minutes he hung up. It was a couple days later he came home after going to talk with the CEO in person. Tossing a bag toward Shiro who sat on the couch he said, "Make sure you finish your school work after that you can play that. Shiro I know it's been awkward the past few days but I took the CEO"s offer. You and I are playing ALF together starting today. I got us new secured nerve gear."

Shiro looked down at the ground understanding why Lin didnt want him to play ALf, so he sat there and thought about it for a second. Shiro got up and went to his room and lay on his bed trying to clear his thoughts.

Lin's eyes went wide and he just stood up looking angry. Making his way over to the computer he saw it was still password protected and not even logged in. "I told you not to answer the door or the phone a thousand times when I'm not home Shiro! I had my reasons I don't ever want to look at another nerve gear not after what you and I been through. I'm trying to recover and protect you. I forbid you to even buy any games involving nerve gear you hear me! That's the end of the discussion now then I'll go make lunch and today you and I are going to the library to copy some books so I can tutor you." Said Lin walking to the kitchen using his crutches. His heard had to be at least pounding a hundred miles an hour our of anxiety and fear.

Shiro rushed out attempting to help Lin into the house, he should sit down befor he gets questioned. As soon as Lin sat down Shiro blurted out excited "Why didn't you tell me you were offered a position at Alf?!? You could have told me!"

After a few hours Lin came home but actually using crutches. Making his way up the drive way slowly walking he saw Shiro and smiled. It was nice coming home to someone waiting instead of an empty house.

Shiro looked up at him "If you say so."


_______________(Next day)

Shiro was sitting outside on the porch enjoying the fresh air. Suddenly he phone began to ring. Shiro rished inside the house picking up the phone. "Hello??" "Yes this is the CEO of Alfheim Online, I'm calling for Mr.Lin."said a man's voice on the other line. Shiro replied" Im sorry Lin isnt in right now, may I take a message?" "Yes, Could you tell Mr. lin that our offer for him to become the in-game monitor for Alfhiem still stands."
(Shiro:)"Yes sir, will do."He hung up.(Shiro again:)"Well, he never told me about that, I'll have to ask him about it when he gets home."

"I know all well they want to moniter you to see if you're sane enough for society is all Shiro. I won't let them take you so I'll teach you myself in five years you'll be caught up. And don't be sad here you'll learn from the best which is myself of course."

Shiro looked up at him, "But I thought that they were doing a specal school for the SAO kids..." Shiro looked down at his plate, and continued to eat the roast. "You know its funny, I was the cook in SAO, but im really horrible at it in real life..."

"Nope I got it don't need you burning yourself." Said Lin setting the pan on the pot holder. Switching the oven off he said, "Half and half knowing us there won't be left over with our bodies trying to compensate for the lack of nutrients we had all that time." Lin made sure to cut it down the middle and went to work slicing it up. Soon dinner was served and the two of them were eating. While they had their meal Lin said, "You missed a lot of school so I figured I'd home school you to catch up then have you attend a normal highschool when you turn fifteen. Sound like fun to you kiddo?"

Ichiro rubbed his head muttering under his breath"Ow...." He stood up and went to take a shower. When he was done he went to the dinner table and set it for himself and Lin. Then he walked over to where Lin was in the kitchen,"Need some help?"

Lin snatched the magazine away and swatted the kid's head with it saying, "Pot roast of course and it's got a good forty five minutes. Now go take your bath tomorrow I won't be home when you wake up. I have to go to the clinic for more physical therapy. So don't cook have cereal for breakfast runt. I got enough so you can have a monster sized bowl of it. Now go wash up and I'll finish cooking." Lin then went back to the kichen after that.

Shiro looked up at Lin "I'm pretty good. This game is Alright I suppose, but SAO has it beat..." Shiro picked up a magizine, in the cover it was showing Alfheim Online."This might be interesting, maybe we should try it out to see what its like compared to SAO." Ichiro smelt dinner, and standing up he said "Whats for dinner??"

Lin smiled and messed up the kid's hair as he finished his food. After that a month had passed once Lin had heard Shiro's parents were gone he practically adopted the boy and took him home. Still confined to the wheel chair Lin was chopping up vegtables while glancing at Shiro from time to time as the boy as playing a game. He let the boy play with his console system which connected to the TV from time to time. Other then that he'd usually shove Shiro out the door telling him to get some fresh air. He put the veggies in the pot before setting the knife in the sink. Once he made sure everything was cooking he wheeled himself over and said, "Having fun?"

Shiro swallowed the chili-dog coughing, "What was that about??" Shiro turned his attention back to the food, he didn't let it bother him. He began eating some of the soup that was there. His eyes widened "Its alot better than what I could make in SAO!"

Zero looked at it and recocognized it immediately though he shoved a chili dog into Shiro's mouth and said, "Nothing you should worry about squirt now stuff your face with this." He then grabbed one for himself and crammed it down saying, "Mmm these are good."

Shiro looked up at Lin, hair still drooping in his eyes "Hey! Its not like a mop! More like curtans!" On the TV above him an add was playing for Alfheim Online. Shiro saw it and pointed "Hey... Whats that..."

Lin laughed though a yelp was heard and Mai said, "Oh Koga you alright!!" He saw him rubbing his head which whacked the top of the door frame as they stepped outside.. Lin laughed and said, "Aw you okay there big guy. A little brain damage there pal?" "Lin don't make me push you down a slide." Said Koga with a grin. "Oh sounds like fun." Said Lin laughing. "Better yet down a hill off the pier." Said Koga and Mai laughed.

After that they picked the first all you could eat place and piled their plates high and went to work eating. "Lin you sure it's okay he's on your lap like that?" Asked Mai. "Yeah sure it is and we need to get the kid a hair cut after lunch sis. He looks like a mop." Said Lin and Koga laughed. "Sure thing brother." Said Mei.

Ichiro happily rode on Lin's lap as he wheeled them out. Shiro looked up at Lin, his hair falling in front of his eyes "Lin I cant wait! Its been so long sense ive been out to eat!" Shiro's stomach grumbled loudly. "And I guess its been a while sense i've eaten anything..." Shiro looked up at the sky as they exited as if it had been the firs time he had seen it with his own eyes. "The sky... How i've missed it!"

Lin just hugged the boy close and said, "Just call me Lin kiddo.." Tears were running down his face and he couldn't believe he was actually seeing the kid in the flesh. He then smiled and said, "I"ve contacted the other two you know as Saber and Lance. They'll both be here soon and I'll talk with the staff about letting you out so we can all go to lunch together how's that sound runt. You look like you could gain some more weight."

"Knock knock!" Said a cheery voice and a young woman came walking in with a man towering over her. "Mai Koga you two look well. Unfortunately for me my spine is weak so I can't walk." Said Lin with a sigh. "So this is Ichiro he looks a lot shorter then in game." Said Mai with a smirk as she rubbed the boys head. "Damn Koga you're one tall person." Lin looking at him. "Yeah I get that a lot people een calling me a bean pole lately due to being so thin. So where we going for lunch I'm starving." Said Koga.

"Well I say we go out have some fun and pick a place. I already talked with the staff so I'm kidnapping you for a few hours runt. Mei you can wheel us out now." Said Lin smiling at his sister.

Ichiro looked up "Zero!" He leped up and jumped onto Lin's lap and hugged him "I missed you so much!" Shiro sat on his lap happily smiling "Im so glad you came! The nurces said that they couldn't contact my parents for some reason." Shiro hugged Len more tightly, as tight as he could (Considering he is a ten year old that wasn't very hard).

A couple weeks had passed as Lin had started his physical therapy. After a week of that he took a plane to Nagasaki with his sister and came to the hospital Shiro was in. They asked the front desk and his sister wheeled him to Shiro's room as the nurse said, "We've been trying to contact his parents but it's like they don't even care about the boy. Are you a relative of his?" "Well more or less a cousin." Said Lin lying. "Ah good about time a family member of his came." Said the nurse knocking on Shiro's door before opening it she led Lin in saying, "Shiro a relative of yours has come to visit finally. Lin smirked saying, "Hey there squirt." The nurse had left and Lin handed off his laptop to Mei knowing he was going to be jumped on by the boy.

Ichiro as he was dragged was in a partial shock, and in a partial "IN YOUR FACE SABER AND LANCE I TOLD YOU SO!" as they were running down the corridors to the boss room. They ran into a few monsters, but as soon as they saw them, the monsters couldn't even say boo. They were shot by Ichiro's bow and destroyed within seconds. When they arrived at the boss room, just as Zero/Lin had said, there was a pillar of light. They quickly stepped into it, but not before saying their goodbyes.(Ichiro Sobbing) "Guys! I'll see you on the other side!" Ichiro stepped through the light and vanished.
_____________

Ichiro awoke much like Lin, his hands felt like lead. He reached up and removed his nervegear slowly, with alot of effort. He muttered to himself "You did it Zero... You did it." Then without a word he fell into a deep sleep.

Lance and Saber nodded though suddenly a voice echoed around them saying, "Ichiro, Lance, Saber can you three hear me?" Saber gasped as Zero seemed to appear in front of them that moment. "Oh my... he really is alive!" Cried Saber nearly in tears. "Well you were right kid." "Actually I am alive but I'm not in the game I'm just using my head set and coding skills to speak to you three now. But now's not the time for a reunion I've come to save you three." Said Lin.

"How you can log us out?" Asked Lance. "In a way yes but you'll need to go back to the boss room you were in. Now listen up and listen good you guys have less then thirty minutes to get through the dungeon and into the boss room because the cardinal system will lock it off when the time runs out. As you walk in there should be a platform surrounded by a pillar of light. Walk into the that light and you guys are good as free from the game. As for you Ichiro I'll be coming to see you as soon as I can I know what hospital you're in. Just take care and worry about gathering your strength kid. I'll be seeing you soon that's a promise." Said Lin smiling at him.

"Let's go!!" Cried Saber grabbing both boys bolting for the door. But before that she quickly ran back and planted a kiss on Lin's cheek saying, "You better meet us face to face too you jerk!" She then grinned and ran out dragging both shocked boys with her.

Ichiro sat there for a second thinking about what Zero had told him, when suddnely he felt something, as if someone was trying to do something. But soon it faded and he brushed it off as just a strange feeling. He stood up and walked over to Lance and Saber saying "Guys, if you have nowhere to stay, If you would like, you can come live at my place. I have two extra rooms, Its quite a big house. I can make dinner and we can work on recovering. Who knows, someday soon I just know someone Is going to clear this game!"

"Just get a grip kid we know what we saw..." Said Lance. Though Saber said, "Lance... don't be cruel let the boy have hope... We may have lost ours a couple days ago but if he says Zero is alive then I believe him." She then hugged Ichiro saying, "Don't ever lose that smile you have."
------------------------
The past couple days Lin was still in the hospital though he wouldn't be going through any physical therapy any time soon. The doctors made sure he was eating constantly to put back on his weight. As he was cramming down a few donuts Lin looked up and saw his sister come in. "Mei did you get it?" He asked. "Here... but before I return it to you just what are you going to do brother." Asked Mei hugging the laptop close to her chest.

"Please... there's someone who needs me right now and I'm going to trace his nerve gear. After that I'll be monitoring the game from the outside because one wrong move I could be locked out. Those trapped in the game need my help." Said Lin.

She sighed and handed it over saying, "Okay..." Lin quickly plugged it in and got to work typing away at a fast speed. Mei just sat there watching him. She held out a sandwich to him and said, "Keep eating I won't let you neglect your health brother..." Lin took it and crammed it down quickly while typing with one hand.

"Found him Player name Ichiro now to trace it.." Said Lin cramming down yet another sandwich. "Full name Shiro James Brown. He's currently residing Nagasaki medical care.. That was too easy I best erase my tracks.." Lin muttered.
----------------------------------
Meanwhile Saber had decided to give Ichiro some space and she rubbed the boy's head before leaving him alone to calm down. "What do we do now Lance I'm a bit scared honestly.." Said Saber softly. "I don't know... I just don't know..." Said Lance.

Ichiro sat up exclaiming " Thats not possible! He was a GM before His health never went into the red! There is just no way!" Ichiro grabbed Zero's sword holding it to his chest. He began to cry, and muttering to himself "There's just no way... Just no way..." Then Ichiro rembered what Zero had told him about his nerve gear failing and looked up "NO! He is alive! I just know it!"

Saber's head lowered it had been two days since then and she and Lance had watched over the kid. Holding out Zero's sword that had been the only thing left behind Lance shook his head laying the sheathed weapon down saying, "He's dead... the boss battle killed him in the end he just vanished..."

Ichiro awoke with a massive headache, when he looked up ha saw Lance and Saber, Ichiro seeing that there was no Zero quickly sat up "Where is he! where is Zero!?" Ichiro yelled. "Where is he!?!?"

Zero ran to charge in at a fast speed but suddenly he froze and was unable to move. His eyes wide Saber screamed, "Look out!!" She threw him out of the way and the two of them landed off to the side Lance had finished the boss and it vanished. "We did it!!" He cried out in victory. "Hey Zero you alright..." Said Saber she then noticed he was not even moving like he was frozen.

"Lance get me a potion quickly!!" Yelled Saber and Lance dashed over fast. Forcing it down she still got not response not even an antidote seem to snap him out of it. Then his avatar slowly begin to vanish and he was gone. Her eyes wide she let out a scream crying, "That idiot!! I knew it I knew he was going to die!!" She burst into tears and cried into Lance's chest. "Come on let's grab the kid and take him to our home..." Said Lance softly as he led her over to Ichiro.
---------------------------------------
It all happened so fast Zero had no idea what had happened. He had just watched Ichiro attack and everything went black Though his eyes opened and he saw a white ceiling. He then struggled and lifted up his arm which felt like led and saw his fingers. They were quite thin and his own hand was shaking.

He reached up and felt the nerve gear helmet and pulled it off as he sat up after that the tears started streaming down his face. He looked up hearing a startled gasp. Seeing the woman who stood there his elder sister had tears running down her face. "LIN!!" She cried rushing over and hugging him.

Ichiro pulled back his bow yelling "DON'T HURT MY FRIENDS!" As he realeased the shot, the speed went from zero to light speed un a split second. The shot hit the monster sending it flying into the far wall. Ichiro pulled back another arrow, but fired it at the roof instead this time. Ths arrow hit the roof and shattered into one thousand fragments of light, they floated in the air for one second absorbing all the light in the room, making it pitch black except for the arrow fragments which had grown into full sized arrows. Ichiro pointed at the bass and all of the arrows simultaneously hit the boss taking all but a thin sliver of his health away. Ichiro fell down from exaustion and began to develop a fever.

"Oh my we're going to die crap ain't the word!!" Cried Saber falling to her knees. Zero suddenly three the three of them out of the way as the boss had appeared that moment. Blocking an attack aimed at them he struggled under the pressure and grit his teeth as he looked at what they were dealing with.

"Hyrda you got to be kidding me!! Yelled Lance standing up. "Stay back!!" Yelled Zero as he threw the boss back. "Ten HP bars that's over fifteen million health you can't fight or kill it on your own!!" Cried Lance loudly. "I made a promise and I intend to keep it all you just stay back in the shadows! I can't and won't let you die!" Cried Zero.

He let out a scrream as he was struck and the hit that should have ended his life sent him flying and smacking into the ground. Laying there he trembled but stood up and rushed the boss fast. He was hitting it with everything he had. Saber just sat on her knees her eyes wide tears streaming down her face, "This isn't right.... he's going to be screwed up mentally after this.. " She whimpered.

Zero blocked most the hits from the boss yet was tossed so many times he thought he was really going to die. As he was about to be hit again the attack stopped and Saber blocked it with her shield. Letting out a scream she threw Hyrda back and used her strongest attack piercing it from all angles. "Just die!!" She screamed striking it and Lance had dashed behind it striking it and now the boss was so confused it fell over on its side.

Ichiro looked up from his own breakfast"Well, should we be going then?" Ichiro quickly finished his meal and walked to the door.

They approached the boss room without any real trouble, though the boneyard detectors were a nuisance. When they arrived at the boss room they found that the room seemed to be empty. When they decided to investigate further they found that the doors closed behind them and the room was trapped so that teleport crystals were diactivated. "Well crap" Ichiro said.

Zero rolled his eyes as Saber and Lance dove for the food. He grabbed a sandwich for himself before saying, "So today we're just seeing what boss we have to deal with right?" "Uh huh as we are we can't take it and nobody will ally with us I been asking around but everyone sees us as weak. After we check things out we'll rebuild our forces. "Speaking of which this place is pretty dead..." Said Zero. Lance looked around and said, "That's because everyone lost faith in me and went off to join another guild... I guess it's just us four left..."

"No wonder we're seen as weak Lance... perhaps we should just disband the guild and remain as a group of front liners together. It's our best bet and I won't ditch you guys now. You two are the first in nearly two years to treat me like a human being... Even with my immortal status. Well the kid was the first but I'm finally started to gain my confidence back thanks to you guys. I won't let you die." Said Zero firmly as he looked at the three.

Ichiro using a teleport crystal come to the guild hall saying, "Good Morning guys! Im guessing today is going to be a big day, so I made breakfast!" Ichiro pulled a big platter of Sword Art Online's equivalent of eggs and bacon and set it on the table."I worked on perfecting this recipe, so you had better like it, It was hard to get the right combination of spices to get the taste of bacon!"

Zero had gone off and gotten his sword repaired and ended up staying around the blacksmith for a while looking at a new potential weapon. After that he camped out alone that night and by morning he had returned to the guild hall. He saw Saber and Lance leaning over a hand drawn map. "Morning you two." Said Zero and they looked on up and waved. Zero went to take a seat and yawned loudly.

Ichiro looked up from his sandwich just as he was leaving, "Well I guess I will se you guys tomorrow then." Ichiro held up a Teleport crystal to his house. "Bye!" He was whisked away to his home

Zero crammed his down and swallowed it in one go before saying, "Well I'm off for the night." "Huh where too?" Asked Saber. "Going to get this repaired for starters and get myself taken care of for tomorrow." Said Zero holding up his claymore which was in two pieces now." "And you live where?" Asked Lance. "Nowhere I'm a camper you can say it's not like it really can kill me. Well goodnight you guys see you at sunrise." Said Zero walking off with a wave.

Ichiro drew back his bow, and five arrows of pure light formed.As he shot he arrows he quickly loaded five more and shot these too. In rapid secession these hit the monsters one after another bringing their Hp to 0.

----Sunset

"Well that does that..." Ichiro said as the sun began to set, he had gotten to level 81 after a whole day of work. "I suppose we sho-" He was interrupted as his stomach growled loudly. Ichiro put his hand on his stomach."Maybe we should eat dinner?" Ichiro opened his inventory, brought out sandwiches and began to hand them out to everyone."There we go! I made them myself" Ichiro smiled at everyone as he began to eat his own sandwich.

"No but I got an idea an idea that might be crazy enough to work." Said Zero looking at Saber. "Um you're making me nervous..." Said Saber. "Just stock up on potions between you and me we're going to have him to my level by tonight and then we can hit the boss floor." "I have a bad feeling about this." Said Saber nervously.

Half an hour later:

"Zero I'm going to fricken kill you how do you expect the kid to kill this many monsters! There has to be at least twenty of them!" Cried Saber freaked out as she and Zero ran leading a group of 'Forest Oni' toward Lance and Ichiro. "Get ready on their call kid!" Said Lance readying his spear. "Now we cut them down by half and let me take the beating while the kid kills em off!" Said Zero. "AH!" Squealed Saber ducking behind Zero was clubbed in her place by one of the Forest Oni.

"Damn it Saber warn me next time!" Said Zero as his bar bounced back up. She forced down a quick potion and ran back to the tree Lance was by and that Ichiro was up in. Drawing his claymore Zero slashed them all at once taking the heat and cutting their HP bars down by half. "Now kid while I got them on me!" Said Zero blocking every hit he could.

Ichiro grunted "We might be able to do that. But the only unused entrance is pointing to the north. The monsters there are at least level 90. We will need to make sure that we kill them before the come to the town. I might be able kill them within about... five shots."

Ichiro sat up. "Should we get going then? or is there something else you want to talk about?" He said as he wend and grabbed some of the cream soda.

"Easier said then done we need to pick an area off to side of town where people don't come in and out. We can't endanger any innocent people." Said Zero. "So you guys still willing to join us? I think we proven we can be trusted at this point. We need people like you Zero." Said Lance almost pleadingly. Zero sighed and smiled saying, "Alright it's time I stopped feeling sorry for myself and use this not dying to my advantage to help everyone. I'll join you guys but I can't promise I'll stay long." "Hell he should have the second in command position I have Lance. You should have seen him set our men straight yesterday. And this is coming from me." Said Saber. Zero blushed, "I'm a natural born leader I can't help it. But that's too much at the moment. Give me time to fit in first." Said Zero as the hall doors opened and a few guildies came in.

Ichiro looked up at them "I easily do as much damage as you guys, if not more.... But like I said, I have very little health and defense.... If we were to say go to level seventy eight and let me attack some monsters there, I would level up quickly. I think we should have you guys lure the monsters close to the town and I ,from inside the town, could shoot them. Its a quick and somewhat easy way for me to level up."

"This is nearly a level eighty dungeon you are not setting foot in there Ichiro." Said Zero firmly. "Level sixty you are it's too risky OK change of plans. It operation level the lowbie time. Saber can gather loads of mobs with you Zero and I can destroy them all. Till he's our level we can't go anywhere." Said Lance.
