Chapter 1

"I'll just play a bit"

I boot up B&S and wait, and wait, and wait. The game is worth the wait but still who wants to stare at a swirly frog icon for 5 minutes! After lauding into the menu O see my character, a guy with black hair behind his ears reaching down halfway to the base of his neck. Wearing the standard bandit outfit without the helmet.

I select my character and once again wait, after waiting I can see I'm in the basic wooden house. It's a small house with very few rooms including a useless magic-like room which has a rock with spiny disks around it. Completely useless, it has no purpose but to look cool.

I walk through the magic room and kick through the door. After I walk through the door I hold out my hands and select gravity magic. I charge, jump and release the magic I am sent flying towards the dock. I land on a small cliff above the rock and jump off. After I land I spin around and quickly point to an area on the map. The colosseum, I once again go through loading screens and finally see a wooden table.

I head over to the table and scroll the book. Moving past many modded items, many different lightsabers and finally come to an ornamental tachi. I summon the weapon and levitate it over to me. I hold its sheath with my left hand 1/4 of the sheath's length away from the guard.

I walk over to the book on the pedestal and scroll through the enemy options. I slow my scrolling when I reach the knight section. I find the modded ruthless difficulty and start it. I unsheath my sword and hold it in front of me with my sheath guarding my left side. I walk toward the center of the arena and wait.

I see a fully armored night walking over to me with a flanged warmace. He raises his mace, which is an easy way to know he's going to swing downward. I step back as he swings and his helmet leaves a slight opening exposing his neck. I slash down and cut off his head quickly.

Out of the peripheral of my vision I see a knight without a helmet walking towards me. I swipe my sword towards his neck. He starts to raise his red shield but is too slow. I am walking while swinging to increase my sword speed. Which you would never do in a real sword fight as it would ruin the force behind your swing and you would lose stability. I cut off his head and jerk my head left to look for more enemies.

I barely catch a sword swinging towards me horizontally, I raise my sheath and block the blow as the sword is blocked. I fluidly swing my sword and cut off the knight's arm. He dies instantly because that's totally realistic. You die if you get fatally injured, lose your head or get your arm cut off when it has barely had the time to bleed, much less die from blood loss.

I continue this way for around an hour by the end, the corners of my vision is mostly red. I activate slow motion and jump towards the spawning book. I hit stop and reach for the healing potion. Then I hear a whistle and I jerk my head around to see an arrow fly towards me. It hits me and everything slows down. My sword falls from my hand and my vision goes black.

"-f, Take the sword off. TAKE THE SWORD OFF!"

"Jeremiah, he's probably never had to kill another person before give him a break."

"If he brings that sword into the cells someone could get it and there could be a revolt could you deal with the deaths!?"

"If you can take it off it's probably a cursed item, I bet he can't even unsheath it."

"Fine but if he kills anyone it's on you!"

I hear footsteps slowly disappear. I look up to see another person walking away, but half my vision is blurry. I reach up and pull my hand away. It's covered in blood, real blood. My blood. I feel around my body it's covered in cuts and bruises too. I hear a door slam and in all of my pain I curl up into the fetal position and go to sleep with my pain numbing over time.

"Fleshy food for a flesh filled fight"

I wake up to a kick to the abdomen, I roll back slightly and realize I don't hurt. My pain is gone. I feel all over my body and realize there are no cuts or bruises. I reach up to my eye and rub it removing some of the dried blood. I look up to see a piece of meat heading towards me. Everything slows for a second as I grab the meat out of the air. Still confused at what I just did, I hear someone speak.

"Eat the meat so we will get to watch a good fight later."

I look towards the voice and see a ugly man. A super ugly man he looks to be a mix between a wrinkly old man, a baby and a boar. Not a good combo, the only slightly good thing about him is he's slightly fit much more than his pig-like looks suggest. I feel my face again and feel the dry blood caking my face from my eye to my neck. I start to rub the blood off my face as the blood falls to the floor in flakes like their own little creepy bloody snow storm.

"Disgusting do that on your own time!"

I look up to see a foot coming for my face, I instinctively raise my arms to guard my face. And I clench my teeth before the blow lands. I feel the kick hit my forearm and I let out a muffled grunt as I wait for the pain to sink in. After a bit all I feel is a slight numb feeling where I was kicked, nothing more. I hear footsteps leave and a metal door slam. After waiting for a few seconds I start to look around. I notice the cell is barely lit with a fully stone wall, and metal bars where I can see other cells. There is a metal square on the bars which I assume is a keyhole and the piece of meat that I caught.

Stand up and look at myself. I'm in a bloodied tunic with many different cuts and torn up areas. On my hip there is a sword, it's not attached to my clothes but it looks like it is floating. I feel my eyes draw to the meat again and realize how hungry I am too hungry like I haven't eaten in days. I take a bite out of the meat. Chewy, uncooked, surprisingly tasty, but that could just be my body making sure I don't throw it up.
