In A Party With A Celebrity

Early next morning, Frame got up and headed to where he had heard the quest NPCs were, cherishing the chilly morning air. While on the move, he checked his status.

{[] Name: Frame [] Race: Human [] Titles: Coremaster [] HP: 550/550 [] MP: 800/800 []}

{[] Stats [] STR: 5 [] DEX: 4.5 [] VIT: 5.5 [] PER: 1.5 [] INT: 8 [] CHA: 1.5 []}

{[] Active Skills [] Chaos Blade lvl 1: +60 Chaos ATK, -60MP, -5MP/min []}

{[] Chaos Bolt lvl 1: 15 Chaos ATK, -15MP [] Heal lvl 1: +30HP, -30MP []}

{[] Passive Skills [] Above All Others lvl 1: Stat Growth x2 [] Limitless: Can Use Abilities Of Any Type []}

{[] Infinite Potential lvl 1: Proficiency Growth x2 [] Insurmontable lvl 1: 10% Resistance To All []}

{[] Feared By The Gods: Any Being With Divine Power Will Not Take Action Against You Willingly []}

{[] Blacksmith lvl 2: Can Smith Simple Weapons [] Enchanter: Can Imbue Magic Into Items []}

Frame had used the extra time before he went to sleep to experiment on magic, resulting in the spell {[] Chaos Bolt []}. {[] Heal []} was acquired from the library since it was obviously useful in a combat situation. Now Frame was sure that he would be safe, as his equipment alone was beyond overkill for the situation, not to mention his stats and skills.

Walking into the small plaza, Frame looked for anyone who looked like they could use some help. In a dark corner Frame saw what appeared to be a young woman reading a book, and as she was the only loner there and no one had noticed him yet, Frame briskly walked over.

"I'm not interested in a date." She said crisply when she heard Frame's footsteps, not even looking up from her book.

Frame saw that behind the book was a delicate and beautiful face, and that the robe appeared to be hiding a voluptuous figure. Seeing this, Frame felt a new sensation. His body was heating up, urging him to pounce on her and make her his own. Frame frowned at this instinct, restraining himself and dissipating the heat in his body.

"I only came to see if a fellow loner would be willing to party up, I didn't expect you to be beautiful." Frame said with a frown when he remembered his body's reaction.

The girl looked Frame in the eye, surprised that she saw no intentions to take advantage of her. In fact, the young man seemed disappointed in himself for some reason, likely some thoughts from when he saw her face. It was actually kind of cute in her opinion.

"Rachel." she said, extending a hand.

"Frame." Frame replied, taking the handshake.

The duo froze the next moment, both for different reasons. One was able to experience holding hands with a girl for the first time, while the other recognized the handsome fellow she decided to work with. Frame was once more calming his rapidly beating heart and suppressing his desires, while Rachel found her heart pounding uncontrollably from meeting the famous player and even shaking his hand.

'Calm down Rachel, you shouldn't panic over it, that would ruin his opinion of you. Just focus on... O-on the f-fact that we're going to be q-questing together!' Rachel went through an internal monologue while blushing, as even though she was cold and aloof most of the time, she was still a girl in her late teens. When a handsome man asked if he could join her with no ulterior motive, and he was well known for being antisocial, it was just to much for her. Rachel had never had a boyfriend or even male friends other than relatives since she was so cold and shy, and now she was going on what in her mind was basically a date with a celebrity!

{[] Player: Frame [] Has invited you to a party. [] YES/NO []}

Seeing the notification snapped Rachel out of her daze, and she quickly accepted while wondering where they would go first. Her question was answered when Frame spoke.

"Your gear doesn't look to good, I guess I should get you some better stuff. Follow me."
