Sylvus glanced around, watching the bandits around him wander around the fortress as he rested his back against the gray brick walls, arms crossed. When one of them saw him, it gripped its dagger with both its hands and charged straight at him. The silver-haired knight pulled down the item menu at a modest pace, selected one of the items and lifted his hands over his head, as if holding a sword. A wire frame materialized within his hands, turning into his signature greatsword, and slammed into the ground with a crash, slicing the bandit into two. As the bandit shattered into tiny bits of data, Sylvus sighed to himself. 
He was still somewhat shaken by the entire "death game" announcement by the man named Akihiko. "God.. damnit.." he whispered to himself, holding the sword tighter than before as flashbacks of the towering cloaked figure appeared and disappeared. To think that [b]100[/b] floors were to be cleared in order to go back to his original life.. it was just too hard to take in, even for someone as jaded as him.
Sylvus shook his head a few times, then faced the other bandit monsters in the corridor beyond, who were blissfully unaware of the tragedies that were going to occur just because of a simple game. [I]I'll just have to start with you people, then..![/I] he exclaimed to himself in his mind, before charging straight at them, sword blazing behind him.
