Marius's Story
Chapter 1: Reset! The Race Begins again!
Marius almost laughed as he sent the thug flying backwards on his butt yet again, watching his opponent's HP drop to half. He turned to the other two players there, and addressed the three of them. "Your not going to get it." he said. "If I can drop all three of your health bars to half, and not even lose a quarter of my own, than you have no chance of taking it. I don't even see why you want it if none of you can use it anyway." Marius had been confronted by these three thugs deep in the forest, and they wanted to take his iconic, one of a kind weapon, the Gemini Blade. "This is your final warning. Leave now, or I will send the three of you back to your respawn points." The thugs, to their credit, didn't give up easily, and the one he just knocked back charged again. Not going easy anymore, Marius split his blade into two, parryed the strike with one, and sent him back again with the other, reducing the player's HP to a sliver. Having enough with toying with these jerks, Marius charged at the other two with incredible speed, granting creedance to his moniker, "The Blur". He reattached the two swords, stabbed the first player with one end and the second with the other in one swift move, than knelt down and spun the blade over his head, hitting the other two players in the neck and sending them back to the respawn point. He turned to the third, and just as Marius was about to take him out too, the player disappeared in a logout flash. Confused, Marius looked put down his sword, only to see it vanish before his eyes.
Marius watched in horror as all of his hard earned money and gear vanish, and his stats revert back to their level one defaults. Before he could react, he wound up in Nova city, near the edge of the crowd. As he heard the Game Master's message, he was
horrorstruck. The first thought that came to him was the thought of his sister, crying over his bed, wishing he hadn't logged in that day. Most of the people entered a panic, but Marius knew he had to act, or he would never get out alive.
Watching the panic escalate, Marius knew he needed to get out and get to some place that still had people with rationality. Spotting a wall behind him, Marius reasoned he could dash up the wall with his high speed stat with ease, get onto the rooftops, and slip out of the crowd. He didn't realize until too late, however, that his stats had been reset. Marius fell after his first step on the wall, and landed into the crowd Marius dodged to the left and right, avoiding the panicing masses. He got up at the first opportunity, and ducked into a nearby tavern down an alleyway. There, he plotted his next move.
