Wide shot of an apartment building; comprised of polished andesite, quartz, sprinklings of iron blocks, tall glowstone lampposts, oak wood logs, and stone. Its size capable of housing 15 people. Small in comparison to many other buildings in the region. Owned by Alexander Whiteness.
Two people are walking their way over to it, to reach a room of their's. A man named Helker possess casual clothing, with an enchanted iron helmet worn. A woman travels with Helker, wearing only casual clothing, and possessing a backpack.
On the path towards the apartment building, Alexander Whiteness appears behind the two. A disheveled and angry expression is worn.
Helker pauses from the footsteps, turning to Whiteness with caution. He waves his significant other away, whom takes a safe distance, upon noticing Whiteness.
"What are you doing looking at us like that?" Questioned Helker.
Alexander's gloomy, bleak stare answered back.
Grimacing in growing confusion and irritation, Helker continued on. "Don't just stare at me like some child. You want trouble?"
Whiteness raises his head, his hands extending outwards in a slow, arcing curve. "You're here to die. Simple as that." His fists clenched, entering a fighting stance.
Aggression fills Helker's face; he pulls out an enchanted iron sword, two-handing it. He shouts, "Like hell that's happening! Annesa, don't get close!"
Without a moments waste, dashing forwards in a blink of an eye, Whiteness slugged down Helker; a powerful TING blocks the impact, the sword ringing out from the fist landing against it. Helker staggers back, swiftly regaining footing, focusing. Whiteness kept up the barrage, throwing slam after slug against Helker, whom stressed to block every ringing hit.
"Helker!!" Cried out Annesa; she pulled out her iron sword (also enchanted), freezing from Helker's shouting after taking a mere step before the slug-fest ahead of her. "Annesa," cried out Helker, "you'll only get hurt! You nee-- AAHEGHH!"
Helker's focus falters briefly, granting a swiftly thrown, heavy jab to slip past Helker's sword. He's met with a devastating blow to the chest; a muffled crunch, followed by a strained gasp, leaves Helker. Collapsing on the polished andesite walkway, Helker struggles, grasping at his chest. Annesa shrieked, panicked before her significant other, and charged towards Whiteness.
"YOU MONSTER!! WHAT DID WE DO TO YOU!?" Annesa shrieked to Whiteness. This aggression met no remorseful soul; replying back, Whiteness turned and spoke lowly, "It's all for experience, girl."
Faster than Annesa's capabilities could register, her face is caved in from a singular, explosive punch. Her lifeless body thuds onto the floor, barely within the view of the near-lifeless Helker.
Strained huffs slowly leave Helker, his gaze slowly trailing from Annesa to Whiteness. "Y... You... You asshole..." Gasped Helker, his senses slowly failing him.
Whiteness stepped up to Helker, picking up his sword and dangling it above his head. A monotone question is asked by Whiteness: "Have you ever slain a Beast before?"
SLASHHH.
Without a chance to reply, Helker is gashed through the head. He goes lifeless, followed by him and Annesa's bodies exploding into a white puff of smoke.
Several successive flashes of blue and white particles swirl around Alexander Whiteness. He deeply inhale, taking in his victory. Held for just a moment, the nigh-audible breeze of wind and the rustling of tree leaves nearby, he exhales shortly afterwards.
He grumbled to himself, turning his gaze down to the ground. "Only 4 levels achieved from that... I'm going to need more."
