"What the hell!" TOO Handsome angrily stood up and confronted Insania, gripping his short-sword in anger ready to strike at a moments notice, the bitch Kissmebaby58 was making things worse by urging TOO Handsome to attack Insania, it was so sickening that she could only stare at her with a cold gaze... But alas, No matter who looks at it, it was still her fault that their Tanker is in such a state.
Looking at him now, the gains of level in their grind aren't enough to compensate for the broken and tattered armor that TOO Handsome had. Its safe to say that its officially almost destroyed, The skill that he used only protects the user from Physical and Magical damages but they will still feel pain and their equipment durability will continuously suffer damages, and in TOO Handsome's case, he got beat up real bad.
"Im sorry, that was beyond my control" Insania's was already off her knees when TOO Handsome confronted her. "Im really sorry" her previous demeanor was now shattered, what's left was a girl that was being scolded for doing something bad. She can apologize all she wants but their is no way she'll make excuses on her previous blunder. What excuse was she gonna say? She got horny and lost control of her legs? LIKE HELL SHE'LL SAY THAT.
"Tell that to the saliva on your face." Running Man34 pointed out, letting out his previous irritation on Insania. The three girls guffawed, huddled up and harshly mocked Insania, To her that has thick skin she didn't really care what they thought of her but if things have deteriorated this far, she'll just have to leave this party and grind alone.
"As an apology, you can take the item that dropped from that zombie, I'll take my leave now." Insania could only look down, she then wiped the saliva off her mouth and walked away she wasn't going to help him repair his armor even if she was loaded rich, so she gave away the dropped item from the Zombie(III) that she killed. In this game no matter where you are in the world, the drop rate of usable items from mobs, equipments or accessories are only 0.0001% whilst if it were a boss it'd be 100% at the first kill and 50% at the second, third, fourth, fifth. Thats why boss monsters bellow the current highest ranking players are all coveted by guild players everyday.
*Ting You have left Tanker: [TOO Handsome]'s party*
"Its not big sis fault!, if she leaves the party then Im leaving as well!" Gimme-Guitar still felt that it was his fault and vouched for Insania to stay.
"Bro its not that I'm blaming her.. I can't trust her anymore that prank was way over the line." TOO Handsome stated calmly.
His words hitting home and looking at Insania she had no intentions of staying any longer. 'What if she really did do that on purpose?' Gimme-Guitar couldn't help but think so, but he hurriedly shook his head and spoke. "Do you think we'd be able to kill those mobs again without her?."
TOO Handsome made a pondering expression and was about to answer, but his girlfriend beamed and answered. "Of course!"
"I guess I'm not needed here then." Gimme-Guitar left and hurriedly ran after Insania.
"Bro! Wait!" TOO Handsome tried to stop him but the bitch cut of his words again. "Let him go, he's a useless leech anyways, he'll come running back to you once that wench lets him die." she sneered showing a really belligerent smile.
...
"Big sis wait up!" Gimme-Guitar couldn't help but be amazed at how fast Insania was.
Insania looked back and saw the Bard chasing after her, she slowed down a little and spoke in a bemused tone. "You know... I really wondered why you started calling me big sis. But in a way, it feels as if I'm looking at myself in highschool but less athletic"
"Thanks for letting me catch up." heaving a sigh he stood straight and bowed. "Please take me along with you..."
Insania narrowed her eyes a bit and faced Gimme-Guitar. "I don't mind, but... at least tell me why you're considering on following a total stranger who you suddenly started calling big sis."
"I might be a really bad person you know? I might sell you to slavery you know?"
"I don't mind, But please... You're a much better company than that fake friend of mine and those annoying bitches" Gimme-Guitar responded while still bowing. Insania thought he looked so cute right now and he couldn't really bring it in her heart to say no. So she softly spoke. " Ok, I'll bring you along... But you have to do two things"
"Really?" Gimme-Guitar beamed in elation.
"First is you gotta prepare money... don't fret its not for me, its actually for your sake. Im currently traveling with a Mercenary group on an escort quest, You may need sleeping gear, potions and everyday necessities to keep up with us" Gimme-Guitar nodded and thought it was only acceptable.
"Second of all... Show me your stats, I need to know how much your existence is worth on the journey, so that I'll have the resolve to keep you alive if things get dicey." Insania earnestly watched his reaction. To a Player, ones stats is their life.
" Ugh... that is..." Gimme-Guitar hesitated and gulped.
"You don't want to? well its fine, not like I was adamant on bringing you along anyway." Insania turned around and slowly walked away but Gimme-Guitar called out to her which made her smile. Composing herself, Insania looked at Gimme-Guitar coldly... But she didn't speak, she needed to know how much resolve this kid has in this game. She needed to judge whether he's baggage or actually an essential part in her escort quest. Gimme-Guitar huffed and spoke. "Ok... Share stats" Then Insania heard a notification.

"Well... you can tell me what your spells do along the way, first I need to ask permission to bring you along" Insania happily nodded.
"Ok, but to make things fair... Can I look at your stats too?" GG softly said.
"Sorry not happening" Closing Gimme-Guitar's stats Insania went back in the city. They walked back together in silence, Gimme-Guitar felt suffocated by the atmosphere and wanted to start a conversation but Insania beaten him to the punch. "Its fine if I call you GG right? So anyway GG did you actually believe in the [Gimme] ingame name craze? is all superstition Id say."
"Oh that...Im not sure about anyone else but it actually worked for me" GG said. In the Atoru Kingdom Gimme-Spear has held the first place since the launch of the game, with a little bit of digging his real identity was shown, when the media invited him to asked why he named himself Gimme-Spear his exact answer was "I wanted a spear, so I named myself as such." And so the [Gimme-] IGN exploded in Atoru Kingdom, they believe that if they added [Gimme-] to their names then whatever comes after that will come true.
Fuckers have names like Gimme-Wealth, Gimme-Fame, Gimme-Children etc.
"I heard you singing Li***n P*** greatest hits, that's kinda cool." Insania smiled. GG couldn't help but smile. In Epic of The Gods Musician and Bards sometimes have to vocalize their spells or play them on their instruments. This can be applied to both constant and instant spells.
"Yeah" he shyly nodded. They talked about lots of things till they got to the town.
"Wait for me big sis, I need to log out for a bit, in order to put some money in my bank account."
"Wait you can do that at the day right? Come on I'll let you meet the boss" Pulling on GG's hand Insania dragged him around the city. The city was huge but Insania boasts of absolute map awareness, she'd never get lost in a city. The two got to the place where they were meeting up with Allan
and found The Ranger, Russ, Rez, Juli and Vtts. The five of them still didn't trust her but she's been obedient so far, she tapped on Juli's shiny armor and told him that she's bringing GG along.
Rez scoffed and said. "He looks pretty weak, he'll only slow us down! If you want a partner while were traveling Im sure Allan and Mal would gladly help you out"
"If he's a dead weight I'd never have brought him along and besides GG is a Bard that has [Over-Fatigue Dispell], [High-Dispell] and [Restorative Hymn]! along with other buffs!" Insania said as if advertising the usefulness of bringing GG along.
The other four had questioning gazes but the Ranger smiled. "I'll allow it, we can bring him along, but does he have enough money to buy sleeping gears and a horse?" The Ranger knew the prowess of a Bard, they're rarer than Mages in Atoru but in the kingdom of Music and Magic you'd be able to find them there quite easily.
"I see... So were travelling by horse now? I don't really feel like buying one, cause I feel like I'd be able to outrun one easily" Insania softly muttered then looked at the Ranger.
"Boss, Can I leave GG to you? Since once we'll head off we'll have no stops, I need to learn another mastery quick." The Ranger nodded and told the other four to welcome GG along. 'Since its them GG will be fine' Insania thought.
Insania went to the auction house and claimed the gold of all the items she's auctioned off from an employee sitting inside a booth. She gave a very important blood-bound receipt and the person inside the booth yelled in excitement as if he won the lottery or something, then she was given exactly 357 gold coins, her mouth was agape but she hurriedly shook off her puzzlement and asked. "How much was deducted?" In any Auction House in this world they always take a little bit of handling fee's like 10% of all the items sold and this is sometimes different in every auction house.
"We charge by 5% for every item would you like to hear the details of how we calculated all of your sold items?"
"Naaaa, no thanks... I do want to ask, Which of my Items were sold the highest?" Insania had no time for idle chatter but she was still curious on which got sold the highest.
"Oh... Then that would be the Unique(X) Exalted Spear for 248 gold coins which got deducted by 5% which leaves you 245 gold coins"
"I see then who bought it?" Insania asked.
"I believe it was a person from the Guild Rising Dragon"
"I see... Gimme-Spear's lackey huh? well of course he'd covet the weapon he's proffiecient in the most... By the way? Which of my items was the second highest?"
"That would be the Rare(W) Deadly Curved-Blade(Offhand) for 43 gold from a man named Kurtfic."
"Kurtfic huh? Sounds familiar..." Insania softly said and pondered... She felt that that name is quite famous around these parts... Or rather infamous.
"DID you just say KURTFIC? WHERE!" A tall person behind Insania grabbed at her shoulders and shook her violently.
"SECURITY!" The clerk shouted.
*Ting you have been inflicted [Daze(II)] debuff*
'Wtf? why did this debuff proc?' The Daze is a pretty weird debuff but it is sometimes commonly inflicted by Dirt, Rock or Earthen Spells... It is a brother of [Disorient], that violently shakes the internal system of the inflicted.
A second later men in shiny silver armor came out of nowhere and ran towards Insania and her unknown assailant.
