Paring : LawLu
Summary :Ā Law is a gamer playing and clearing is something he usually do but this one NPC from grand quest just keeping him from completing it. Is this part of the quest?
No warning (yet)Ā
Oh...not very good English
Heās a hardcore gamer, he can proudly say so.
He commonly knows asĀ āSurgeon of Deathā due to how mostly in MMORPG his main character is always hybrid priest/warrior if possible. If not, it will be a class that can support while do decent damage (which he can fix that to āinsaneā later)
He devotes his life solely on game. He streaming, make videos and writes blog about games, beginners guide, grinding gears, complete boss guide on how to defeat it and skills timing, different ways to play one job, damage calculator, what should do what should not. New patch up and he will try EVERYTHING on the change and update them in such speed. He even has his own goods for selling.
Due to that he has a lot of company who want to hire him as their tester. Not that he cares because he has a lot of support money from people.
Recently, the current most successful VRMMORPGĀ āNew Worldā just update a new patch, a new challenge for him to be exact.
Law admits that the game has a very lame name for RPG but good game nonetheless.
This very new patch has a lot to do, whole new areas for him to complete the map, dungeons, quests, new systems, new bosses, new gears and extra class that still a mystery on how to unlock it.
Doesnāt matter, nothing too hard for Surgeon of Death.
These new areas are whole new region which is need to do the quest called āAcross The Red Lineā first to go there. Specific NPC location is unknown but Law placed his bet at Saobody because there is NPC that mumbling about how people call him insane due to how he once cross the Red Line and having his adventures there yet no one believes him.
Probably not many people would notice that because these random NPCs are commonly ignored.
If his guess is right that would be great. Some quests are exclusive after all. To experience all of it before anyone else is a great thrill for him.
Letās see how new storyline goes.
First new boss, Hody, has two phase, can buff and stack āGreat Strengthā with his doses, no debuffs, no skill trigger, immune to poison and burn. This boss didnāt state in the update, probably some quest boss that can be defeated once? After all it didnāt drop anything beside quest item.
Heāll come back to check later if it has raid or showdown. According to the story it might not have them. That fishman guy become an old man because of the curse. His top priority is clearing new areas before everyone else.
Law would never be bored at these amazing scenery āNew Worldā has. Itās beautiful even some ānot so goodā place in the game is so cool he never get tried on exploring them.
He usually play in sever that deserted, having too many people means too much noise and those who canāt appreciate the details that creators put them in is suck.
Alone is the best.
So law not really sure how he felt about this one of the new systems called āNPC Assistsā.
Itās a system that already introduced long time ago but just having them for real in this patch.
You can create your own NPCs, modified them anyway you want like your own characters. All the jobs you ever unlocked these NPCs can use all of itās skills if you point up them, can make it hybrid too. Sounds good for those who hate dealing with people but needs supports
Still.... NPC IS NPC, he know how NPCs can be so stupid and more of dead weight in some games you actually might want to removed them from your team yet you canāt and some are so annoying that you want to mute it.
Heās more of a pet system person. Itās cute, following you around picking item for you and use a potions for you, some have permanent buffs for you too. Ā
Maybe this game called pet as NPCs instead? Itās literally the same thing anyway so he might create his own Bepo later.
Or thatās what he thought, his first NPC asĀ āNPC Assistsā is a story grand quest that will following you around until you cleared it.
Itās started with that quest opener red-haired NPC told him to go at the village called Fuusha the dialog is more than that but overall thatās the point. Red-haired said he got the letter told him to meet someone there but itās too fishy for him to go.
As Law arrived there he saved this certain straw hatter black-haired NPC who actually part of the quest and need to following him around because Law held the letter.
Thus he already can imagine his own nightmare of carrying this one around, now he wants to abandoned the quest right-away and do something else first.
He just donāt want to waste his potions on NPC in this new area where he knows nothing about it yet.
But the second he going to throw the quest away itās stated in quest description that this quest canāt be accept the second time and so he give up.
Law want to ignore the quest and continue his exploring but this game canāt mute so if the NPC start to talk too much he canāt just have them shut up, itās not working that way.Ā
Law decided that he needs to complete this grand quest first.
Itās not a NPC he created so he simply know nothing about the boy who called himself āLucyā, he takes his time to read all the status and skills which surprisingly a new class. Maybe this quest is what to unlock the new class?
Things getting harder and harder, usually Law would loved it but itās NPC you talking about. Damage calculating, skills, status are brand new. It has a new job too.
If itās all by himself testing wouldnāt be so hard. This will take a great length of time to learn. Observation skill is needed and Law will take this challenge not so lightly.
Now.... when he just thinking with himself while reading Lucy status, something strange happened.Ā
hope you like it :)
I actually want to write this into some short-story but it turned out to be longer than I thought.
English isn't my tongue. There probably a lot of mistakes feel free to correcting me.
