Age Of Swordsmen

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!"
