My name is Tact. And for the past few months, I have been a puppet of my own thoughts. My own…imagination. I am taken out and forced to act upon the lives of people I do not know. But I live these lives as if they were my own.
Today, was like any other day…

Lvl 29 Archer
For as long as I can remember, I have been an archer. I have relied on my archer skills to defeat mine enemies. And used my archer tactics to seek out and help others like Ms. Ming Ming who was despereately trying to setup for some festival. But today, today will be diffrent. Today, I shall obtain my next job, and become a full fledged HUNTER!
I have come across some valuable information during my travels. I happened upon a note stating the name and location of someone. Someone whom I have been entrusted to track down and monitor a few days ago with a band of misfits, who were aiding me in conquering the invincible Slime King! We’ve defeated this foe many a time, but he has a pact with an evil being called Teziw who has granted the Slime King immorality. It is my mission, for as long as I am an archer of a certain lvl, to vanquish the Slime King at all costs! And to obtain any lost relics of worth from him as well.
Seeing as I still had this “track” with me, I decided to round up another band of scallywags to aid me in this persuit.
I posted up a few banners inviting anyone interested in battling the Slime King to join me, telling them that I had a lead on his whereabouts. (the track). I was soon invited into an already established “party”.
———
Leader: You, bowman. Tell us this “lead” of yours.
*at the same time, the Leader commands a lvl 25+ mage to leave her group*
Me: O_o. You would choose a bowman over a mage? What trickery is this? How can I be certain, you will join me and not just leave with this information?
Leader: He wasn’t “all there” if you catch my drift. (afk) We need someone more compitent. Now, give us your LEAD!
Me: *still suspicious, i relinquish the information (track)*
———
At that time, another of the party members announces her departure. She was a Rouge. The leader quickly jumped up and exclaimed “no, wait” and chased after her with teary eyes. And just as quickly, the Leader disbands her party to chase after the rouge whom I can only assume is her close friend or relative.
“hmph, an unexperieced team is not worth my time. I will remember them so I can avoid them next time”.
That same day, after a few hours struggling to find a competent group of warriors to launch an attack against the Slime King, I happen upon that same group again, together, all of them, smiling happily. Have they settled their troubles already? It seemed as if though the rouge had to leave, and yet there she is as if nothing happend. Could it be… that they have indeed meant only to steal my information?
I questioned them to get some answers.
————
Me: Hey you, I thought you had disbanded? Did you quickly band together again because of the information I have given you? ANSWER ME!
randomchar: Hey you, shut up! Nobody cares! Go drown yourself in a river you loser! *all the whilst throwing subi stars at me*
Me: How dare you! And who are you? *dodging the subi stars*. This matter doesn’t concern you. This is between me and the Party Leader.
*facing the party leader*
I demand you admit to your misdeed and take responsibility for your scam!
————
I had become enraged. They do not answer nor make any effort to clear their name. This shows me that they are of an unsavory character type. A group that niehter cares of the consequences of their actions or what others think of them. A type that is probably in leage with Teziw! I cannot stand for this. They have no honor in their names.
Assuming this, I calm myself and realize I’m dealing with the scum of the Victoria. What I must do is try to put this behind me. It is a small matter. At least that’s what I try to tell myself. But inside, I am still enraged. So I tell myself, If they could just admit to scamming me, I can put it behind me.
They never do. Instead, they retaliate against me for trying to dig too deep into their scam. They became angry that I was able to figure out their little trick. Pretending to have an important member of their team leave causing the leader to dispand. Very clever indeed. But for my skills in uncovering this truth, I paid dearly. They retaliated against me by spreading lies and sullying my good name. They hath defamed my good name. Such is the way of the world. In an effort to uncover the evils of the earth, one must sometimes pay in varying degrees. Today, I suppose I have the Fearies to thank that I had not been killed instead. Or had come across a time/space corrupter(hacker). Oh well, I tell myself. Its not important. I have new journys ahead of me.
And with that, I dawn my new equpment, and look at the sun setting over Henesys. Tomorrow is a new day. Today the sun rose on this lowly archer. Tomorrow, it will rise on a Hunter.
*insert kewl dramatic music most likely involving drums and some orchestra*
Sweet it cool =)
pretty nice job! can u do this every day? XD
Nice one! It was very moving.
very enjoyable, tied in w/ pq and ms very nicely.
Nice! Must of taken lots of thought and time. I give this a 10 out of 10!
Interesting, I like how you paraphrased the events. 😉
Nice story. I hate people that do the opposite.
Join a party, get the track, leave, and sell the track.
Great delivery in first-person! I love the idea of it. Keep it up!
