Chapter 1: Farming

Alternate title: Let's try first person!

-------------------------

I sigh as I kill another hornet. I've been killing these things for so long it was starting to get boring. My skills had resin to a point to where the bees didn't pose any kind of challenge. "Damn it, I wanna go fight harder stuff!"

Unfortunately, gear and gil don't grow on trees. I don't wanna be the laughing stock of Valkurm when I reach there. I look at my inventory and let out another sigh. "only two stacks..."

On an unrelated note, these bags they give out to adventures are interesting. I saw someone pull a bed out of one, and yet I can't seem to fit many beehive chips in there...

I sit down on a rock and think. "I shouldn't need too many more to sell..." Just then I hear someone scream.

"AERO!"

I see a bee fall as a black mage turns the corner. "Sweet another chip!" he says.

One look at him and I can tell he could over farm these things to where I wouldn't get anything.

"Hey, can you leave a few bees for me to kill, I really need the gil." I ask.

"Meh, I don't feel like it, besides I don't want to cut into my profits."

Ok, so he's an asshole. No big, maybe if I'm fast and lucky enough I can-

Three hours later and I've only managed to kill 5 bees.

"You suck you know that!" I yell at him from across the clearing.

"You're just mad because I'm better than you!" He yells back, sticking his tongue out in the possess.

"Oh come on" I sigh as he casts another spell on a bee that just appeared. Wait a sec, this bee seems a little different.

"The hell?" He says.

"What's a 'Stinging Sophie'?" I ask.

Aparently it's a superbee. He casts and casts, both his and the bee's HP are falling fast and just when it looks like he's going to win-- Sophie uses final sting.

I stare at the black mage laying in front of me. More accurately, I look at his item back that he drooped.


On an unrelated note I don't have to farm anymore, and have this really cool dagger!
