Malik merely smiled as he entered the world of Alfheim once more. It was Easter Weekend, and in line with the traditions of MMORPGs throughout the years, Alfheim was hosting a special event. Personally, Malik often felt that these events were crammed on and bloated affairs, but nevertheless they often proved to be a good source of money for the solo player. As someone who never partyed with those he didn't know, having a quick way to make a lot of money was extremely important. Especially since the economy was not nearly broken as that one game he had been dragged into a few years back. 

Taking a glance around the capital, the high level player smiled as he saw the bustling faces enjoying their time in the game. It was a truly remarkable thing to see, but it was not his reason for being here. Malik enjoyed these games not for their interactivity and bustling community, but rather for the inventive game play it provided. After all, what child didn't once dream of running around slaying dragons and giants. VR MMOs provided a great outlet for one's fantasies to be lived out. 

Currently, Malik found himself in the city of Aarun for one reason. He had to stock quite a few healing potions before attempting the Easter event. That was one of the main tricks to surviving as a solo player. One had to make sure they always had a large number of healing potions on them. Sure Malik's speed helped quite a bit in terms of evading attacks, but without potions he could never heal back from the few attacks that did hit him. Walking up to the NPC Vendor, Malik quickly went through the options menu and bought the maximum number of potions he could. That was another great thing about potions, one didn't have to worry about having too many, because even leftovers were useful in the next fight. 

Satisfied with his newly increased supply of potions, Malik began to ready himself for the difficult fight that evaded him. The way he saw it, he probably had around a fifty percent chance of winning if he played his cards right. [i]Time to play the long grind game of poking at the boss' health.[/i]
