《TITANS FALL》Chapter 8: Opportunities
Advertisement
Completing the Quest kira earned 10 copper and 25 exp. He was happy compliting his first quest and receiving his first reward.
Seeing Kira so happy with a measly amount of copper, Brutos smile for a bit. He remember his first time recieving this first pay check in being a mercenary. He was so happy back then.
After reminiscing about his past Brutos looks at Kira ho was still smiling. "Your not bad kid, what's your name?"
"You can call me Coin" Kira answer, and looking at Brutos he notice that his eyes are looking sad. Like he was remembering some tragedy about his past.
"Nice name kid, you can call me Brutos. I can see that your new here in town"
Brutos looks Kira from head to toe, then said "I saw that your watching me practice me sword art. Do you want me to teach you? But i can only teach you the basic cause my style can only be used by my kind."
"Sure, i want to learn how to hold and use the sword properly."
"Okay, first let get inside and talk." said Brutos as he started going inside the bar. Kira follow Brutos inside as well.
"Wait for me by the counter." commanded Brutos to Kira. Kira didn't mind ang just oblige to what was said to him.
After some time of waiting, Brutos walk out of the kitchen with a full plate of meal. "Let's eat up, it's on me. The food taste better if you have someone to eat with. Here join me." Brutos give a plate infornt of Kira.
Kira accepted and notice that his hunger was at 25% so he happily eat whats in front of him. It was a soup made from a boar with some meat on it, and comes with a piece of bread. Kira dig in and when he taste the food he couldn't believe it. It taste so good, and the texture of and consistency of the meal make it feels so real. He know that this was a virtual world but what he experience seem so real for him. He was amaze and started to savouring every bite.

Brutos just smile seeing Kira savouring what he made. "If you want another serving I can get some more for you. You don't have to be shy aboit it."
Kira was startled cause he didn't know that Brutos can smile. Seeing Kira's face, Brutos ask what's wrong. "I'm just amaze at the fact that you can smile. I thought that you can only show one expression on your face" Kira joke about.
"You're asking for a beating, huh, kid. Don't mess with me, cause i can break you without giving a sweat" Brutos laugh. And they both started eating again.
As Kira plays this game longer he was more and more amazed by what he experience. The NPC here seems so real. They can look happy, angry, and even sad. It looks like they have their own emotions. He was astounded by this idea of his, if this is really the truth, then this is the most sophisticated system ever implented on a game. It gives more realism to the game.
As kira thought of that it suddenly came to him, that maybe he can't find quest early on cause the quest here are not repeatable, if some do it, and they finish the quest, the quest will cease to exist. The only way to find quest is to find more oppurtunity. Then he remember what ALPHA said to him "everybody has thier own opportunity" it makes sense to him now.
If that was really it, then he has to persevere to grasp every oppurtunity that comes his way. He has to forge his way to the top.
==============
Finishing their meal, Brutos cleans up. When he return to the courter Kira was there waiting for him. He sat down besides Kira.
"Is it true that you were once a mercenary?" Kira asked.
Brutos was startled by the question and looks at Kira. He sighed. "Yes it was true. But it was all in the past now. I'm just a bar keeper now."
"What happened? What are you thinking about?" Kira said as he see Brutos looking at a distance.

"You don't need to know." Brutos said. "Okay, I will teach you how to use sword if you help me again in the bar" Brutos added.

[Y / N]
"Okay, i'll help you in managing the bar."
"Good, good. You can do whatever you to do for now, butbby lucnh you should be here."
Kira checks the time in game, it was 8 AM now just as well in the real world. Kira decided to logut from the game and exit the capsule.
He stretch his body and didn't notice any problema, he was comfortable inside his gaming cabin.
Kira decided to have a breakfast, he can use the nutriend solution to help him sustain his body but he like to eat food more. After eating he decided to train his body in yhe gym. During his workout he was thinking about the game, he was mesmerize now after experiencing the game in just hours of playing.
After his full body training, Kira was sweating alot, he was panting in one of the seats inside the gym. Because of training he decided to shower first before continiuing playing the game.
When he return on the gaming room it was 11:30 AM. He looks at his friends capsule and see that his friend didn't even come out to eat. He just shrugged and enter his cabin and start the game again.
[Welcome to Titan]
When Kira open his eyes he was inside the bar again. He decided to walk up to brutos and talks to him.
His quest started and brutos gave him an apron, a piece of cloth and a broom.
He started first in arranging the chairs and tables inside the bar. Then started sweeping the floor. After some time customer started pouring in.
==============
After almost 7 hours of helping in serving customer, taking orders and cleaning up tables the customer thinned out until almost all the customer left. Kira was exhausted after all that, his hunger was at 55% and he was really feeling hungry now.
"Come here Coin, let's eat first before we start your training in sword" Brutos calls to him. He started wolfing on the food that Brutos serve him.
BURPPP!
After eating almost 3 serving of food Kira was finally satisfied. He burp loudly. Brutos laugh seeing Kira's way of eating, he was happy seeing Kira, he reminds him of someone.
"Okay now that we've eaten, lets get started with the training. Here's your reward for helping me out." Brutos pass a pouch containing 14 copper.
Accepting the pouch a notification ring infront of Kira.
[Quest Completed]
Brutos started working towards the back and Kira just follows behind him.
"Watch first how I hold and swing the sword" Brutos said as he hold a wooden sword in one hand.
Brutos started swinging the sword simply for Kira to see the it properly. After some swing he let kira holds a wooden sword.
Kira walk and hold the wooden sword. He lifted it with one hand. It was light but it was fitting to his hand. He started holding it like what he saw from Brutos. And he swing it.
"It's wrong. Again."
Brutos guide Kira as he swing the sword for an hour. After that Brutos left Kira to practice alone.
As kira was praticing his swinging and sword handling, he didn't notice the time. All he just thought was to properly learn how to weild it to use it to his advantage.
After some time practicing, Kira was startled when he heard a notification rung. When he checks it he was excited by what he saw.

8 101Sector 27
It wasn't until June 3, 2101 that World War 4 ended. This was not a war that ended in peace treaties or truces; this war ended with disease. The atomic war caused plague and disease that crippled major countries. The generals and great leaders of the countries at war died from the radiation that penetrated every part of the globe. It was only then that humanity realized what they had done- what they had created. The first ever mutant was publicly executed the very day the war ended, and a new war began: the war against mutants. The surviving nation of Japan quickly rebuilt their country by dividing it into safe zones, or Sectors. There are currently 26 livable sectors in Japan; Sector 1 is the richest sector and the only sector that has completely rid itself of all radiation left over from the war. In fear against the threat of mutants, the once small section of the police force grew until it became the main police force in Japan. After all, humans shouldn't be blamed for crimes when the real threat to society is mutants. This police force that goes by their motto: Special Treatment Against Mutants (STAM) is comprised of agents that go about their work to capture and detain all mutants. Sector 26 is the poorest sector that humans can barely survive in; but there is one more part of Japan. This "dead zone" has such a high concentration of radiation that if a human were to step inside the barrier, they would die in mere moments. But within this dead zone, this 27th Sector, there lies a secret organization of mutants that fight against STAM and protect all mutants from their grasp. The Mutant Recovery and Protection Agency (MRPA) operates to hide mutants in society and allow them to live human lives. The only thing that stands in MRPA's way is STAM and its agents who hunt them down ruthlessly, so MRPA has their own set of skilled agents. And the battle rages on...
