And get stronger he did. He quickly made the trip to Kerning City and spoke with the Dark Lord. His luck made him a likely thief, but it was his desire for revenge that the Dark Lord found great promise in. After his becoming a thief, something which would have required at least a day’s celebration before, he quickly headed over to Heneseys. The Dark Lord had told him to go there to begin to hone his skills. After following the Dark Lord’s directions, he came to a small city in the middle of the plains in southern Victoria. There he went to the market, and bought a throwing glove, as shown in a guide he’d received from the Dark Lord, and some quality stars. His sacrificed none of his acquired wealth on his equipment. He knew this was the key to his rapid training and progression.
For days on end, he spent all the energy he had in the plains, taking out anything he could. He increased the distance he could throw, the accuracy, but more than anything, the deadliness of his stars. His skill with luck let him be miles ahead of those with experience equal to his, and as before, others noticed. Unlike before, however, he cared none for the social opportunities it provided. He was a loner, and people felt that, and did not try to pursue a friendship with him. As his skills progressed he began to try out more advanced, heavier throwing gloves. He found they greatly increased the momentum behind the stars, but they were much too bulky for his liking, and he quickly returned to his old glove. Eventually he began to try two stars at once, as he had seen better thieves than him do. At first it was sloppy and inaccurate, almost worse than throwing one, but he persevered. His thirst for revenge fueled his practice, and he quickly mastered the two-star art as he had any other skill.
His training was going well, better than anyone would have guessed. However, one day while resting in Heneseys, a man with a spear tapped him on the shoulder. He spun around, stars on the edge of his glove.
“Are you Derrin, son of Terel, the merchant in Lith Harbor?”
“Yes, but how do you…”
“Prepare to die you filthy traitor!”
The spearman stabbed forward. Almost reflexively, Derrin dove right. The spear stabbed inches away from his feet. He swiftly stood up, and hopped back.
“Lucky little brat…” the man mumbled as he reared back for a second stab. Before he could even bring his spear forward, two, and then four stars laid lodged in his chest. He fell to the ground.
“The weak… spot in my armor…” he gasped before passing out. The boy stood in triumph over the man. Suddenly an emblem on the man’s sleeve stood out. Under it read “Hand of Bilio.” These were the people who had killed his family. Memories came rushing back, and Derrin stood in a daze. A firm hand on his shoulder and something sharp poking into his back brought him out of it, “Don’t move.” read more

The boy was lucky; it was as simple as that. Even as early as his adventures on Maple Island, others noticed it. Once, while fatigued from a days training, an orange mushroom got by his dagger. It seemed like the end had arrived before he had even gotten chance to begin. He tried to dodge the impending attack, but tripped on a box* that seemed to appear out of thin air. He watched from the ground, expecting the worse, but instead of being stomped to death by the orange monstrosity, it sailed over his head. Not believing his luck, he quickly got to his feet and scampered out of the mushroom’s range. A few fellow beginners stared at him, not sure whether to laugh or to applaud. I can’t let this mushroom go in front of this crowd, he thought. He charged back at it, fruit dagger gleaming, and swiftly finished it. He picked up the mushroom cap casually, the group now watching his every move, and strode back to town. The boy was lucky; it was as simple as that. read more

It had only been a few short weeks, but already Maple Island was growing old. The boy grew tired of the same snails and mushrooms. He knew the world had more to offer than the weakest of monsters. Fortune had been on his side while at Maple Island. Already, he had gained 30,000 mesos from clothing he had discovered while out in the wilderness. As he approached South Perry he waved to friends he saw along the way, most who had heard of him through his miraculous escapes which had now become his trademark. He passes through the gates, and his eyes immediately gazed up at the mass of the flying ship that would take him from this place. The immensity of the ship increased the closer he got to it. The ferry that had taken him from his home in Lith Harbor to Maple Island hadn’t been a tenth of the ship he was about to board. Undaunted, he continued on. He spoke to the ship’s captain, a man shorter to him by the name of Shanks, and boarded the ship. read more

Because I’m not going to interupt the flow of the story with random facts that need to be cleared up, I’m going to periodically have a notes blog that will give essential information to understand the story.

1) The main character is loosely based off dexless sins.

2) This will be a story, not an MMORPG. That means no leveling up, no stats, no /levelable/ skills. I will take liberties with the skills, though most will follow the Maple Story skills. read more
