Suki didn't sleep long when she went to bed. It was an odd, unnatural kind of sleep, all gray and misty. It was like her mind just went off, like static on a TV. She supposed that was about right, guessing that the brain just needed to switch off, and relax. Yet she found it disturbing. She didn't sleep easy in anycase, use to a house filled with seven men all of whom snored. 

She was normally up early in any case as well, four am generally to begin the day. Farming life was hard, but she loved it. The animals, the crops. What was she meant to do, until everyone else was awake? Or at least until Umichi was awake. That made her think of the plastic wedding ring. She took it out of her inventory to examine it. It was kind of cute, the quest itself. She smiled, returning the ring to her inventory before equipping her battle gear. 

She headed down to the common room, but didn't stay there long. She headed outside, and woke a merchant NPC. She had read about the teleportation crystals, so she brought one for this town, as well as a couple of health potions, leaving her with 500 col. Yes, she would need to learn how to make her own. She wondered how one could become an alchemist, and talked with an NPC about that, who suggested undertaking the [i]earning a living[/i] quest. She accepted it with a smile and a thank you, deciding to look at it later. 

She headed outside town, knowing she needed to level, needed to be able to protect herself. She did hesitate though, thinking that it might be reckless. She found she didn't care, she was falling behind while others were becoming stronger. She needed to become stronger. She glanced about seeing fire wolves and frenzy boars. She made a sound, drawing a couple to her, and then she began. She attacked one with her blade, and then another, spinning, twirling, turning thanking god that the only girly thing she had ever done was dancing and that she could bring it to use her. She did so, moving? Hopefully unpredictably. She had began to notice that the game was adaptingt to their fighting styles. 

She killed one, and then another, working hard, and goig further and further from the town to kill more and more monsters, stopping once to take a health potion. Eventually, as the sun was rising at 0600 she saw [b]"congratulations"[/b] and grinned as she level up. This thrilled her, and she teleported back to town, selling her drop items, and ending up with 1467 col. Well, it was a start. 

Just as she was about to head back to the inn, she got a notification, a message and frowned. 

"282 players have died during the night. Congratulations to surviving one night." 

It almost seemed like a mocking message, and Suki knew it had been sent to all the remaining players. Annoyed, and frustrated she stormed back to the inn, sitting down in the common room and waiting for anyone else. She sighed, and read the earning a living quest, 

It seemed simple enough. She went up to a NPC at the counter and said "I accept this quest. I want to be an alchemist" the NPC smiled and nodded. "Very well, miss. You have successfully completed this quest. You can now be an alchemist"

She smiled, sitting back down, and opened her guide book. She was pleased with herself, and now she could learn alchemy skills, and make health potions, antidotes and more. She could help those she'd be working with, saving them money with potions and she could seek her potions to make a bit of money. She was going to survive in this world, she knew it. 

She leaned back in her chair, taking out the plastic wedding ring again and toying with it. It was such a silly thing, she thought but it was adorable. She smiled, rolling it around the table, playing with it. She glanced about from time to time, waiting for Umichi, remembering that he had said see you in the morning. And probably fulfilled the quest.
