It was the day of the Winter Event inside the virtual world called The World. Several players some taking part solo others in parties of three gathered at the event site a large winter area under the location name: Wintery Snowman’s Bagpipe. It was the first event out of three to be held so most were excited to see what prizes they could win. The game clock on the players screens ticked on then when the time came a sound odd to most but familiar to them rang out as a short NPC *Non-Player Character* had warped into view on top of a stone pedestal.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiRtjnFCWn

Lifting a hand up a metal scroll roll appeared from green digital data squares. Pulling down the bottom the NPC began to read from its parchment. “Here all ye be! Today marks the start of the Winter Triathlon! Those of you new to this shall soon see the wonder and glory of this event as completing all three events will result in a great and rare item! The rules are simple! For this event a player must be in a party of three to partake. 379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkr2BhorE2

“Each party member will be given a pickaxe and allowed out on the ice behind me. Each member must then pick a spot within five feet of their party and begin picking. Once a hole is formed the party member must use a fishing pole and the bait provided by me and successfully catch four red fish, three blue fish, and five purple fish. Then the players must check the fish for a map hidden in one of the fish’s bellies. Once the map is found the party must find a spot new to pick and make a big enough hole before diving in, following the map to locate a cave where three monsters wait. Defeating these three monsters and returning with their prized items! 379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroQkZHaSIZ

“There is no statue in the back of the cave. Once you have the three items leave the cave and return to the surface and report to me with your items. I will reward those successful with a ticket and a piece of an item that will be completed after the three events are completed that will summon the final boss and from there the prizes will be rewarded after the events conclusion. Now then on your marks, get set, GO!” The NPC shouted after reading the rules.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVDt5h5ZS1

The premise was simple just catch fish from under the ice and find a map. The rest of it would be a challenge she could feel it. The female player of light suntanned skin sporting blue triangles and waves along her arms, a mark on her forehead, and some on her legs stood ready listening close to the rules her body tensing ready to go in her light armor consisting of a sky blue chest plate, soft blue shoulder guards, darker blue armor surrounding her waist and upper legs in the form of a skirt divided into six armored flaps, and last medium blue guards on her lower legs and her shoes of a soft blue.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDHEm9NgWK

Yes not the best wear for swimming but since it was meant to not slow the movements of the wearer she wasn’t too worried not having her weapon equipped so her weight was average. As soon as the NPC shouted go she was off with her other two party members one a broader male character who used a mighty lance drill and the other a slimmer male who used blades more fit to an assassin as she was one to use a broad blade most commonly called a heavy blade since it took two hands to wield.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVpg8IGnyJ

The female player at the controls spoke to the NPC entering his shop and buying the pickaxe and some bait two containers of one hundred should be enough. Once she and her other two party members had their items they made their way out on the ice with the other groups while more groups were formed and joined in as well. Finding a spot the party of three quickly went to work starting to swing hard at the frozen lake making a dent then getting deeper didn’t stop.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPEwZpij1H

They all three had to catch the fish listed and had to each find the map to put them together to find the cave. It took some seconds feeling more like minutes but when she finally got deep enough and got a hole formed the coding of the ice released forming the correct sized hole but only after she’d opened it enough first. “Yes!” she celebrated to herself before her player removed the pickaxe and replaced it with the pole and bait upon which the female character grinning with baited hook pressed a button on the pole releasing the wire from the reel lowering the hook and waited.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErbeYHqznM

Looking up with her hazel eyes holding some yellow to them through bangs of brown and orange hair watched her two party members had begun their fishing and looking around saw other groups had as well and some already had a few fish. It wasn’t a race as there wasn’t any placements being kept but nonetheless she didn’t want to feel like she was coming in last place.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpR9x0iFST

It took a few minutes of catch and release before she had caught the required fish then began to search them for a map piece. Soon after her party followed suit. One then two then three parties found their pieces and had the map diving down after picking a bigger hole under the frozen lake to go after the prize. Soon her party as well had their pieces and once all three had seen the full map and a bigger hole made the three dove in swimming down deeper and deeper the heavy blade looking back once at the hole then sped up looking away and followed her teammates to the location.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkaD5Vxm29

Finding the cave entrance the trio made their way in and hurried down the straight tunnel coming to the first monster portal spinning and releasing its almost hypnotic hum. As it glowed then breaking shattering into pieces the trio watched staring now at a large beast with the body of a large wolf, tail of a fish, and head of a with the markings to be like that of a serpent with yellow eyes. The trio readied their weapons and to charge in first was the female giving a battle cry with the drill lancer male right behind his lance spinning its blade. The assassin male stayed back starting to chant using magic based with Earth Spells his hands closed and eyes also closed as he focused using his spells with stones on the beast that roared out a mighty cry.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbpASIzLlp

The monster attacked swinging its large paw at the two charging it to knock them back being thrown off by the stones rising up striking its body throwing it off balance. As it got off balance almost falling over was when the heavy blade struck down and the drill lancer stabbed forwards both attacks hitting and after the fourth strike the beast roared out as its body turned to data and vanished leaving behind on the floor a jeweled pen.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzifz0onJu4

The lancer picked up this item his weapon attaching to his back as he placed it there. “Onto the next one?” he inquired and both the assassin and heavy blade nodded in agreement and they were once more off continuing down the tunnel coming to a split in the pathway. Picking to go right they went encountering the second monster portal. As it glowed and exploded out showed a beast on two legs like a dinosaur, body similar to an ogre, four arms each holding a blade like a large human, and head of a gargoyle with horns.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF3pSHrs6S

It roared out loudly and the trio attacked the heavy blade and lancer attacking with physical force as the assassin stayed back and began to use chants of curses this time to help make it easier to bring the foe down by slowing its speed when it swung the blades allowing for easier evasion. When the monster was finally defeated it exploded into data fading away and leaving behind golden chain with four jewels dangling off four links which sparkled in the firelight of torches as the heavy blade picked it up.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc277AgiPs

Turning around the three came to the last portal watching it explode and a more simplistic monster took form of a large serpent with two tails, a pair of wings, and two heads with both head and tails joined in its spiked middle. It gave a hissing roar before lunging forwards to strike getting a mouth full of tree leaves as the assassin used a plant based spell and the fight was on once again. Using a curse the beast’s eyes glowed slowing the lancer down as it went to strike throwing him back with its tail.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTxv1JDRGM

“A little help would be nice!” the lancer shouted to the assassin who jumped back dodging one head striking down throwing three blades at the monster’s head that struck then three more at the other before as he landed throwing a bomb to the base of the monster causing it to cry out loudly from pain of the three blades hitting it and from the bomb exploding casting a dark shadow to follow and stay over its yellow eyes having caused a blindness effect.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnphua5nQBV

“Now finish it.” The assassin said calmly confident in their abilities. The heavy blade female gave a battle yell as she shouted the name of an attack before swinging her blade down taking out the monster before them and watched it turn into data and vanish leaving behind for them the third treasure: a jar with a quill of emerald rising out of its sapphire jar that held looked to be no ink. The lancer picked this up and with a nod the three took their leave running out of the cave and swimming up towards the surface.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iqR4OHvoY

They wouldn’t be the first team to complete the event but as they surfaced and climbed out their clothing and hair dried quickly as it had after they entered the cave and the three made their way to the NPC pulling out the three items they had gathered and presented them to him. “We have the three treasures from defeating the three monsters in the underwater cave.”379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5AUehoqs8

“Ah very good! Now hand me the items…good, good so now watch as the joining process happens to give us the legendary tool of the forgotten writers of the sea. Their words were so powerful in their time they could calm any beast to surface from the water even said to be able to control those beasts if the writer so chose to. Here is your prize for completing the event. I hope you will take part in the next event scheduled for another day.” Replied happily the NPC taking the items fusing them into one with the quill attached to the chain and once done the quill could remove itself from the ink jar.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpyD8aHbK8

The NPC took this newly formed pen with a quill tip and feathery engravings and summoning paper from the air wrote on each one and fluid motion before handed each party member a ticket of yellow containing the information they had successfully completed the first event and giving the date of the next part. Next he reached into his bag attached to his side and withdrew three clawed paws giving one to each. “Keep track of those as you will need them for the last part of the total event for the final summoning.”379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDAKAnR8hS

“Thank you!” the heavy blade said cheerily glad they were successful and turned to her party grinning. “Yes! We now just need to beat the last two events and summon the monster and get ourselves a grand prize!”379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Bspe0Uoo

“Yea this event is starting out a lot better than others the corporation has tried before. Hopefully the final boss won’t be pitiful.” The lancer said with a chuckle as the trio walked off discussing what they would do in the time between the current to when the next event would be held.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5A0SrBqaH
