The Man Train

Hey everyone.


This is Kreme reporting.

Right after my dance lessons with Pablo at Libra, I decided to head back to Port of Winds for a little break from training. No matter how many good places I've visited, I can say that nothing comes close to Port of Winds. I was cheerfully welcomed by Steven Jr. and he told me to make myself at home.

This is what I like about Port of Winds. It's really peaceful and if ever the city is in trouble, it's nothing that the city guards and hired mercenaries can't handle. So if you really want to clear your mind of problems or worries, this is definitely where you'd want to be.

So I was walking around the outer circle of the city. I visited Cindy and she said that the number of recruits are going low and that it might be a problem if it continues to go lower. I then passed by Daisy, she was jolly as always and she tried to sell some stuff I didn't actually need. So I said goodbye before she pulls that puppy dog eyes trick she did the first time she tried to sell me something.

As I was walking past Julie, I saw a familiar face. Red hair, heavy plated armor, flashy-looking sword and the awesome aura and so I called him...

Kreme: PPPPPPRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOONNGGGGGG!!!!!
Prawnt: ???
Kreme: What? Not so happy to see me, Prong?
Prawnt: It's Prawnt!!!
Kreme: Oh, haha! Sorry!

He was with his friends so it must've been pretty embarrassing so I immediately initiated a conversation to avoid the awkwardness and embarrassment.

Kreme: Soooo... what're you guys doing?
Prawnt: Oh, we were just about to do the Man Train but we kinda lack a member.
Kreme: . . .
Prawnt: YOU SHOULD JOIN US, KREME! COME ON!
Kreme: Err... I'm not pretty sure about this..

So we all lined up and we were ready to go. We kind of had a little accident though and everything happened so fast that we weren't able to get a decent picture.






















aaaaand a picture from our second attempt.




















There's one thing I don't get though, the huge crowd staring at us when we got up. o_o

Other than that, this was a very interesting day for me.

Sorry for the late update!

Dancing Pablo

Hey everyone.


This is Kreme reporting.

As I prepared myself to leave Libra for an assignment, I suddenly remembered the rumors about adventurers that travel past the city often had injuries and some of them never made it back. So I asked myself if I was ready. I was pretty confident with my skills since I was just promoted recently but then it hit me: "I HAVE NO NEW SKILLS YET!!"

So I rushed back to Pablo to ask about the Harlequin skills and all he said was:

"The Harlequin is a class that requires a lot of patience and perseverance. You may get tired of using just 1 skill until you're stronger, but always keep in mind that that's how everything started."

He then taught me my first two skills:

Stance (Passive)

and...




















The Moonwalk.

Pablo's version of the Moonwalk is a LOT better than mine, but I promised him that I won't post any pictures. (sorry guys)

I really don't know how Moonwalk "gives power to you" (me) I tried on using it on mission maps but....




















It doesn't really deal any damage whatsoever. My friends liked it whenever I used it though.

I guess I just have to trust Pablo on this one.

Oh, I can't wait for the next skills that Pablo's going to teach me. MUST TRAIN HARDER!

*ehem*

Sorry for the delay, had a lot of stuff to finish for school.

Pablo's Advice

Hey everyone.


This is Kreme reporting.

After the long fight with Lavalon, I decided to head back to Libra so I can give the scales to Pablo immediately in order for me to proceed with the expedition. As I arrived in Libra, there was a lot of people lined up and all of them went to see Pablo.

Pablo always gave everyone good advice, whether it's on how to defeat a giant mole that summons flames from the sky that freezes you or what kind of hat would go to what you're wearing. So I took a number and decided to wait near the vault lady until it was my turn to talk to Pablo.

I sat there staring at everyone whose numbers are next to be called. That's when I saw a box of donuts.

Yes, you heard me, donuts.


















Though these weren't any ordinary donuts, these donuts had a certain glow that says "Eat me! I taste really really reaaaaaaaally goooooood!" I suddenly remembered that I haven't eaten anything since we defeated Lavalon. I was very hungry. The strange thing about these donuts was that it's like they weren't there because people went on to what they were doing not noticing the presence of that sweet, tasty and mouth-watering box of donuts.

I didn't want to go out of town to get some food because my number might be called soon so I sneaked up in my box disguise and slowly, I approached the box of donuts. It felt like I was crawling forever until I've finally reached the table with the box of donuts or so I thought I did...


Kreme: Ah-HUH?!
Thug: Here he is boss, the guy who wanted to steal our riches.
Kreme: Riches?! Wha-- I just wanted some donuts. Let me ex--
Thug Leader: GET HIM!!

That's when a lot of these angry fat guys with maces stormed in out of nowhere and even though they were fat, they were surprisingly fast. They got me cornered in a matter of seconds and that's when...





































Woman's voice: Hey, Kreme... KREME!!!
Kreme: Huh? What?! Where are the fat guys?! DONUTS! NOOOOO!!
Herner: It's your turn to see Pablo. Go, before they call the next number.

I decided to think about what happened later and finish my business with Pablo first. I approached Pablo looking very confused and then he started to give me some advice.

Pablo: You know, constipation is very common nowadays...
Kreme: No, no! I'm not constipated. I came here to turn in the scales.

He then told me that I was now qualified to be promoted to a harlequin and to proceed with the dragon expedition. I was so happy that I forgot all about the fat guy with maces thing.

Pablo then gave me a heads up on what it means to become a harlequin.

Hey everyone.

The last entry about my adventures was about the first part of the class change quest: getting the sealed key from the ruthless chief, Sambaba, in Valid Raeth. After Pablo handed me the key to Lavalon's Lair, I told myself: "This is it, Kreme, you're one step closer to what you've always wanted to become.... a danc-- Harlequin. So I tried to look for other people to help me defeat the vicious Lavalon.

I was lucky enough to have found people who are willing to help a Lavalon newbie with his quest. These people go by the name of shuyijie and (the ultimate) brownieboy. So we went in the dungeon and at first, it looked like your ordinary Mission Map, there were monsters that tried to stop you from advancing and obstacles. About these obstacles... THEY WERE FREAKIN' FRUSTRATING!

*ehem*

Excuse me.

It took me a looooooong time to get through these obstacles. Good thing my comrades were patient enough to wait for me. These obstacles, as I've said earlier, were very very frustrating and as I try my best to get it over with, it reminded me of a game I played when I was a kid...

Jumping your way to the next platform... Balls of fire preventing you to get there... Fire breathing statues...
















I was also reminded on how much I sucked at Super Mario. XD

A few jumps, scratches and burns later, I managed to catch up with everyone. After catching my breath for a few minutes, we entered Lavalon's Lair.

It was quiet at first. And there were no signs of Lavalon in the area, so I thought: "Someone must've killed it already." then I searched around the area. "Oh, LOOK! A scale! How lucky of me to---" I saw my teammates signaling me to run away as fast as I can. It was weird because the look on their faces seemed like there's something bad that's about to happen.

I thought that they were just trying to scare me, like a Lavalon newbie initiation or something.

I guess the next couple of pictures can tell what happened next.









































































They told me not to worry, we could always go do it again. They said it like it didn't take me a long time to get through those annoying platform jumps and balls of fire.

So we did go for another round and this time I was very careful. We then managed to defeat Lavalon after hours and hours of acquiring mana bullets, loading it to the mana cannon, getting interrupted by a little dragon, searching for another bullet and so on.

It was a battle that you'd rather not tell people if your goal is to impress them.

Next post: Pablo's Advice. What could this old man, I mean Arcanist, possibly teach Kreme that would help him in the Dragon Expedition?

See you all in game! :)



Hey, everyone!


This is Kreme reporting.

I know, I know... I haven't been in touch with you guys for the past... 2-3 weeks since I went back on my adventure. I'm sorry, it's just that I got so addicted to the game again that I forgot that people are waiting for updates about all the adventures I experienced. I may have forgotten to write a post for everything that had happened, but I made sure that I took pictures along the way.

Now that I've reached level 50, I think I'll take a break from the intense training and focus more on updating you guys on what happened on my journey from 40-50 :D

I met a lot of people during the past few weeks, some good, some... not that good, and some evil people. Oh, AND! I finally joined a guild! (TVXQ) though, I'm not sure what that means, Hirarox just invited me. (Thanks, Hira! :) ) the guild wasn't an active one but I'm fine with that.

Here are some pictures from my adventures (spoilers because I love you guys :D ) :
























































I'll tell you all about it in my next posts.

See you all in game!
