[attr="class","junior"] [attr="class","rubedo"] [attr="class","urtv"]✎ 353 WORDS [attr="class","urtv"] ♥ bunyan , @tagged [attr="class","albedo"]WHEN YOU ARE A 「HAMMER」 EVERYTHING IS A 「NAIL」 | [attr="class","gaignun"] It took more than a moment for his eyes to adjust... more than likely a result of his slightly higher age than the target audience of the NerveGear. Still, as a long time gamer in his childhood, he was more than excited to try this new device and it's first new game. Getting that acceptance from the developers was surprising, but it made sense to try out such a device with all ages. It wouldn't do good for a device that could theoretically kill a person to have an unknown age limit, so the fact that they were involving late 20s early 30s was welcomed. Returnin to himself, he had to take a moment and go look through a shop window, specifically his reflection, to see how well he create his avatar. Bunyan certainly fit the avatar he was seeing. He felt taller, bigger, and certainly a lot more filled out than he expected. In a sense, it was a dream come true of any one who was finding adulthood to be not what they expected. Although fake, the illusion of the perfect body was enough to make him feel real, and he smiled, watching the avatar smile as well. Doing some stretches to get the feel of this body, Bunyan proceeded to finally take a look at the menu, and go through the features of the game. It didn't take long until he finally sighted what he was planning on: crafting. In life, he made his living as a manufacturer, working from home with an online business, and rather successful with it. When he heard about this Project: Aincrad, the first thin he did was follow what was being released. Seeing the words crafting and store was more than enough for him. His goal, which he had stated in the Beta application, was to test out the crafting system. It seemed like the perfect alternate lifestyle; the work he enjoyed, but the idea of being an adventurer and a hero. Slowly the world around him left his mind as he checked out the license, materials, and crating mechanisms. |

[attr="class","strawberry"] [attr="class","coconut"]FIRST WORLD WONDERS Areto laughed heartily as he leapt over a few boxes, rolled across the ground, and then barreled through a group of adventurers who were heading down the walkway. This was absolutely amazing! His stats were coming together but he'd have to run a few more tests and figure out if there was anything else that he could do. Overall, though, he was elated! This was great! He asked a few of his friends in the real world and they told him that so far, he's been heading towards the tank route, could anyone imagine. A little guy like him being a tank rather than a DPS or something that would incorporate agility or defense? He was excited. Absolutely happy and wanted to check up on Lucrezia before he went out to explore a bit more. The amount of work that he'd have to put in today would have to be scheduled back to back. Without noticing, he knocked into someone and stumbled backwards. Ouch. That was solid. Peeking up, he noticed a man. A giant of a man who was staring at his menu. " Oh.. wow." bunyan [newclass=.strawberry] background-color:#fff;box-shadow: 2px 2px 3px #c0c0c0;height:auto;margin:auto;width: 350px;padding:24px;font-size:11px;[/newclass] [newclass=.coconut] padding:10px;text-align:center;font-family:VT323;font-size:30px;text-transform:uppercase;[/newclass]

[attr="class","junior"] [attr="class","rubedo"] [attr="class","urtv"]✎ 254 WORDS [attr="class","albedo"]WHEN YOU'RE A 「HAMMER」 EVERYTHING IS A 「NAIL」 | [attr="class","gaignun"] With his attention focused elsewhere, it was a complete surprise when he suddenly felt an impact against him, and the telltale sounds of stumbling. He turned to the side, trying to ignore the fact that his menu was following him, to see who was suddenly groundside. It was certainly interesting how the menu waited a bit to follow their eyes and heads, as if letting the user see around them first before reminding them that the menu was still open. The giant of a man noted to see if the young man was alright, and then decided it would be more fun for him to play the part he created. He reached out a giant hand to the boy helping him up. "You must be careful there, young one. I would hate to see you on the ground with a wolf over you. Come, show me you are tough guy, yes?" he said, playing the part of the gentle giant. He decided for now he had no reason to keep the menu open, and after a first slip up, was able to move his hand and close it. He looked around for the blacksmith. The first thing he wanted to do in this game after all was to start learning how to make the armor and weapons. There were rumors that on the higher floors had more col generating crafting, and he wanted to see if he could practically live his life in a fantasy world. Oh wow, this game was already becoming addictive. |

[attr="class","strawberry"] [attr="class","coconut"]FIRST WORLD WONDERS Areto wasn't sure if he had any enemies in Sword Art Online as of late. There were very few people who knew him and the ones who did seemed to either envy him or tolerate. However, he knew deep down, that he wouldn't want to make an enemy out of a man who was four times his size. During his momentary shock and confusion at being knocked over for the first time since his beta testing career began, Areto was grateful for the hand extended to him. Taking it with a small thanks and standing to his feet, he glanced up at the person in front of him, and gave a soft smile. Was he a new player or perhaps someone that was around to help newbies out when they weren't aware of what was going on? Beta hadn't been going on for very long and some people arrived later than others. However, it didn't mean that they were going to be left behind. Not at all. Nonetheless, he wasn't quite sure what to expect and this stranger did help him out albeit teasingly. " Sorry for knocking into you," he said. " Are you headed somewhere?" bunyan @open [newclass=.strawberry] background-color:#fff;box-shadow: 2px 2px 3px #c0c0c0;height:auto;margin:auto;width: 350px;padding:24px;font-size:11px;[/newclass] [newclass=.coconut] padding:10px;text-align:center;font-family:VT323;font-size:30px;text-transform:uppercase;[/newclass]

"Yes, this is my first time logging in. I'm mostly here to try out this new crafting system that SAO has. I'm not much in the way of a full time gamer anymore, but I couldn't pass up such a moment as this." he said, turning towards the town.
"I believe there is a crafting shop at the end of this block, yes? I heard that solo quests are unavailable so far... guess that I means I have to earn materials another way?" he said, trying to get through the information he had. With his new companion, he started down the block.

[attr="class","strawberry"] [attr="class","coconut"]FIRST WORLD WONDERS It did wonders to Areto's heart knowing that others would want to embark on becoming a crafter. He wasn't against those who had the will to battle and thus craved fighting or Sword Arts. However, it would be difficult to only be able to use items from the NPC shops. Even if they were of decent quality, players had more leeway with creating goods that NPCs did not. Items generated by the system also were nerfed to an extreme while crafters had the leniency and could expand their sights farther than that. To put it simply. They could make a lot of COL from selling weapons and armors to the players who wanted to be on the front-lines. Areto crossed his arms behind his head and followed after the giant of a man. He only had one strand of blond hair it seemed and a rather cartoonish mustache. Areto would've laughed if under any other circumstances but settled for a serene smile and a hum. " There are other ways to gather materials or you could party with someone." He hummed and glanced upwards in thought. " The game seemed interesting and I was able to gain an invite to beta, so I thought why not?" Areto glanced over and raised an eyebrow. " Is there any reason you chose crafting?" bunyan [newclass=.strawberry] background-color:#fff;box-shadow: 2px 2px 3px #c0c0c0;height:auto;margin:auto;width: 350px;padding:24px;font-size:11px;[/newclass] [newclass=.coconut] padding:10px;text-align:center;font-family:VT323;font-size:30px;text-transform:uppercase;[/newclass]

[attr="class","junior"] [attr="class","rubedo"] [attr="class","urtv"]✎ 355 WORDS [attr="class","albedo"]WHEN YOU'RE A 「HAMMER」 EVERYTHING IS A 「NAIL」 | [attr="class","gaignun"]Bunyan pondered for a moment to Areto's query. He had been a gamer for most of his life, but he just was never really that good at the fighting games, especially in an MMO environment where player versus player was common. But that wasn't the only reason. To him, it made sense. Everyone wanted to try out this new game, but everyone would go for advancing levels and combat. Without testing the other systems, there could be bugs that would get missed, and that was just not acceptable to him. Especially when he already had a reserve copy to use once it went live.
"I guess its because someone needs to. The combat is going to be tested very well, and everyone want to level. But crafting, cooking, those typical profession skills? Players tend to save those for downtime. If I don't test out this crafting thing, really push it as hard as others push combat and levels, then there may be bugs that slip through." he said, putting his hands on his hips and giving a loud chuckle.
"Don't let this avatar full you... I'm not too crazy for PVP. I like to tank, but I like even more is to craft. I'm a craftsman in real life. Self-employed. Decorative wooden pieces and furniture usually, but I like to think of myself as a jack of all materials. So for me... it makes more than perfect sense to play with the crafting system here. Plus, I would like to see how crafting works with this full dive technology. It obviously will not work like it does in real life, but I am curious how close it matches."
The giant of a character took a breath, smelling the fabricated scents of a busy market, including the smell of wood, steel, fire... its easy to get attuned to that sort of thing, and the dedication to the environment was pleasing. He realized that he hadn't actually gotten this guy's name, which was weird because he was used to seeing a chat window.
"Areto, huh? What about you, my friend. Are you a gamer, or a roleplayer?"

[attr="class","lays1"] [attr="class","coral2"]FIRST WORLD WONDERS [attr="class","ly3"]327 WORDS | bunyan[attr="class","ly4"]there is a difference? [attr="class","ham4"]Through Bunyan's speech, Areto's mind was currently thinking about something else. This man reminded him of something that he just couldn't put his finger on. Was it a character from one of his favorite shows from when he was a little kid or a caricature that he read in a newspaper on Saturday? Areto's lips formed a line as he tried to bring the thought to the forefront. Someone that was proud and willing to try new things but also seemed to be able to knock over anyone who dared to get in their way. It had to be a character or was it a person instead?
The blond was momentarily reminded of his father and tapped his closed fist against his open palm.
Well, that association was out of the way and he hoped that it never came back to the forefront. He rolled his shoulder and looked up at Bunyan with a warm smile. There was a lot of respect to be given to someone that was willing to try something new at the expense of falling behind the crowd. But there was something to said about people who chose that path. They were often the most prosperous in the very end.
"A roleplayer or a gamer," he repeated with a thoughtful hum.
Instantly, Reveka came to mind. Her dedication to the role of a dark knight and working hard to keep up the image. Even going so far as to reprimand him while in character when he tried to associate her to the outside world. She didn't even resemble her outer self. Hm, did that bode the same for him? He looked just like he did on the outside and his personality wasn't different at all.
"Mm, it depends on the situation."
He laughed lightly and rubbed the back of his head.
"Though, don't let this avatar fool you," he declared borrowing Bunyan's words. "I'm a tank through and through!"
