《Age of Swordsmen Online》4.5 The black Potion!
Advertisement
Now the 3 new Adventurers headed out on their first Mission: Finding Kanagaki. As confident as ever.
But they quickly realized that screaming his name in the middle of the marketplace wasn't going to work as good as they thought.
"It may be calmer than before, but that doesn't mean that he's still around here. He could be anywhere, to be honest." Said Itaka. You could literally see him thinking about what to do next.
"Aren't you his best friend Itaka, you should know what he's doing in a situation like that." Said Kyaga back.
"In a situation like that?" Asked Itaka ironically. "As if I know what he would do when he would get trapped in Zeiwit with thousands of other people..."
Kyaga was silent for a moment. "Yeah, maybe you're right."
"Let's just use our interface and try to search for something useful that may help us." Suggested Shizu. She already swept down her fingers to open the menu and started to search for something that may help.
"Yeah, now that we know that we got one!" Said Kyaga and opened his as well.
Now the three were searching through every little corner for any useful information. Log Out Button? - Not there; Settings? - Nothing useful either; Skill? - No Skill Points, so nothing; Inventory? - ...
"Hey, guys! Look in the inventory!" Said Shizu somewhat excited.
The other two quickly pulled up the inventory... And there it was in one of the many blue boxes, next to what seemed like beginner potions, there was a sword. It was a super basic and weak D-Tier sword, with no enhancements at all. But what do you expect from a beginner sword? It was still better, and stronger than beating with fists.
"Nice! Now we know where Rex and Toya got their swords from." Said Kyaga excited over their newfound weapon.

All three quickly equipped the weapon. It slowly appeared inside a brown leather sheath on their belts. They drew it out and quickly examined it. It was really as basic as a sword could get. A handle and a blade. Nothing fancy at all.
They put it back in and went on with the search.
"You know what these potions are?" Asked Kyaga curious about if they were just normal HP and STA Potions, or if they were special.
"No idea. Let's look." Suggested Itaka, who was just as curious as him.
They, again, pulled up the inventory and examined the potions. First, the generic, red Potion: An obvious HP Potion, meant to recover some of the lost Health Points. Next up the STA Potion: A light blue potion, meant to recover STA. And lastly, a black potion, having a certain shine to it, as if it is an S-Class item. There was also a red triangle in the corner of its icon, signalizing there is a trade ban on that item.
"That's strange, what is the black one meant to do?"
They clicked on it and got a description.
-----
Item: Potion of Appearance
Quantity: 1
Value: UNTRADEABLE
Description:
A potion for everyone that enters AOS a second time. As your old character model was transferred here, you may change your appearance to make yourself comfortable. You may have to stay longer.
-----
There was a moment of shock and silence in the air. Even their surroundings seemed to be completely silent for a moment before they snapped out of it again.
"You may have to stay longer." Repeated Itaka, still in shock.
"Well." Said Kyaga slowly. "We shouldn't worry about this right now. Maybe we can find something out later, but we should really concentrate on finding Kanagaki now."
"Yeah, you are right." Agreed Shizu. "Let's do one thing at a time now. We have a weapon, and couldn't find more. So we have to do it all by ourselves for now. Let's go!"

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.

TM: Monster
He died and his soul travelled across the void and ended up taking over the body of a member of one of the weakest races ever. Even worse than a goblin or slime. It was ok though, as long as he had a positive mental attitude, he could live a happy life… Nope. Interdimensional wars? An all-powerful cosmic entity called the System that will grant all your wishes for a price? Survival of the fittest? In a universe far different from his old one he will reach the Zenith. (TM stands for transmigrated which is different from reincarnation. At the very least I have my own idea on the difference between the two) (Yes the title is a play on Re:Monster which is my first light novel)
