《I want to live》ch. 9 Fire Lion
Advertisement
These three idiots are looking for a fight, just because I’m low level they think it’ll be easy. If I don’t hit at least one on the face, it would be embarrassing. They draw their weapons. Redless has a spear and a big shield, Redder has two short swords and Blackflame has a big greatsword. They run at me without a plan, or at least that’s what it seems like. I just prepare in my place; I’m monitoring their hearts.
When Blackflame reaches me, his heart shows me how he’s going to attack. I take some fast steps forward until I’m basically hugging him before he swings his sword. His sword can’t hit me that well at this range, he doesn’t know what to do in this kind of situations. I grab his face and I hit him with my knee. He backs off while grabbing his face. I didn’t do much damage; his face was extremely hard.
“You mo******er”
I can’t hit him more since the other two are trying to hit me now. Redless thrusts at me from my right side and Redder swings at me from my other side, I turn my body and I manage move the spear and direct it to Redder, he stops swinging desperately as the spear does a little cut on his stomach.
“Aagh, look who you hit!!”
“sorry!!”
I take some distance from them. Hmm, there is something strange, the heart of Blackflame says he’s going to attack but I’m not within his range so I don’t understand how.
He does a heavy step and the ground below me shakes, I lose my balance and Blackflame takes the opportunity to run and attack me, I try to move away but I don’t manage to do anything. The sword cuts very easily through my body.

Everything in front of me turns black as I die. I see a little timer in front. 14:46 left. It takes 15 minutes to respawn from a normal death but in special cases it may vary. There is also another message “You have loss 10% XP”
I couldn’t do anything; the damage was just superficial due to the equipment they had. I didn’t even know their abilities; I don’t think that was their only ability since they seemed to be high level. I’ll research about equipment and abilities later.
Light returns to my eyes, I’m inside of a little hall, there’s a big statue of a woman that I don’t recognize. I see other people materializing at my sides, there is an NPC at the exit. I approach him.
“Hello, do you know what this is?”
I show him the little orb I obtained from the wolves.
“That’s an ability orb, you can go to someone with the appraiser ability to know its content or you can use it without knowing what ability it gives.”
“How do you use it”
“You crush it with your hands.”
“Got it, thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”
I go to the town square, there is a big map right in the middle. It seems that there is a big city near this town. Someone with the appraiser ability could be there, besides, I should be able to get some information too.
…
I’m in front of the entrance to “Bitterstone”, it should be one of the biggest cities in Dragon’s Lair. All I see in front of me is a big and imponent wall. I go to the entrance, there are some guards talking to everyone who tries to get in.
“Hello, I’m a member of “Bloodpact”, since this city is our property, you have to pay 100 bits if you want to enter, also, you must provide your name to us too.”

“Hi, I’m Chrys.”
I give him the money. His heart shows that he is very bored. He should be a low rank guild member since he is doing this kind of tedious job.
“You can proceed.”
“Do you know where I can find someone with appraiser?”
“Almost everyone in the market has it.”
“Thanks.”
“you’re welcome.”
He seemed like a good guy.
I walk to the market. There are a lot of players selling things. I thought they would only sell equipment and orbs but I see all kinds of stuff. There are food ingredients, rare plants, blacksmith materials and some other subclass related things. I would like to get the “Cook” subclass later. I approach one of the merchants.
“Hey, do you have appraiser?”
“Yes.”
“Can you appraise this orb.”
“It is a common level orb, if you have 100 bits, I’ll appraise it for you.”
I give him 100 bits. He puts his hand above the orb and a small light comes from them.
“It’s ready.”
I look carefully at the orb and some text comes out of it.
Wolf leap (common) - 5 fury – cooldown: (2 seconds)
You make a fast leap with 20% increased velocity towards your opponent.
“Do you need some pieces of wolf leather?”
“I can give you 50 bits for each piece.”
“Fine.”
I give him the leather and he returns me 200 bits; I thank him and walk away from the place. I crush the orb and some sparks come from it as it breaks. I see at my status.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can guess it’s around 8:00 p.m. from the sun’s position, everyone is forcefully disconnected at 12:00 p.m. so I don’t have that much time left. Where should I go to get some information? I’ll go to a pub.
I enter the first pub I see, it’s called “The eye of an ox”. I order something to drink as I look for someone to talk. Oh, I think I found someone.
