I reach the fields in good time, having logged in before most players would even consider looking at their copy. Sliding to a stop at the edge, I look at all the different areas that the field encompassed and smile, enjoying the sight. The boars looked real, the wind felt real and the sun felt real. [i]Heh, I could live here if I had to. Life's so much easier in a video game.[/i] Reaching over my shoulder to grasp the hilt of my hand-and-a-half blade, I draw it with a smooth, practiced motion, the shrill ring of the metal leaving it's sheath a satisfying sound to hear. 

"Now then," I say, appraising the boars in the field, "which one first...That one works." Charging a boar nearby, my blade begins to glow red as I close the distance, and I slice downwards, knocking the boar back, but not killing it on the first try. While it recovers, which takes all of five seconds, I remember I need to equip another skill I'd figured would be good to have. "After this then." The boar charges me and I leap to the side, barely managing to get out of the road in time. Coming up in a crouch, I charge the boar again, my blade glowing red again and I strike.

This time it shatters, leaving me with a feeling of accomplishment. "So while it's not as strong as a heavy weapon, it seems to be stronger than a normal sword or a rapier. Perfect for me." I'd always enjoyed a little challenge and I smile as I review the small amount of exp and money I'd gotten for the kill. I'd also gotten some boar meat. "Why do I need meat? Well, maybe...maybe if I cook it then eat it when I'm low on HP, like in other MMOs."

Dismissing the menu after taking everything, I move to attack another boar. I wanted to level up a little before heading back to town.
