    Default MapleWorld

    To Nexon Korea, for the 5 years of my life that I will never get back.

    To Nexon America for having lousy customer service, incompetent coders and programmers.

    Prologue

    Cloudy day.
    This was my thoughts today when I stepped inside the Crimson Wood for the 200,000th time. The mountain ascension near the keep is no easy task. Being that I am a ranger and the only chaperone to the many people who needs help to navigate through the lost woods, it gets worse when I encounter monsters that I cannot defeat. Most of the people who needed help were either tourists or simply heading to the killsites called Lower Ascent and The Path of Peril.

    The entire Crimson Wood Keep is notorious for being lost here and could be wandering for all eternity. Most monsters are wicked beyond evil, some souls still unrested. The monsters that guard the Crimson Woods are out of this dimension. The fury of the four taken their cues from their masters, our classes. Windraiders that shoot stars, Stormbreakers strike with lightning, Firebrands that shoot fire and Nightshadows that never. stops. attacking. Possibly the worst monstrosity is the legendary Bigfoot that can steamroll people in an instant regardless of enhancement skills.

    Despite the massive dangers that I encounter during the frequent trips back and forth, the ascents and descents was well worth it. There is a clan who puts out bounties to target certain monsters that drops a certain type of badge. And consider that I am a lone wolf, I put massive time and effort to collect badges to gain my rewards. About 50% were mesos, 25% were scrolls, 15% were useless items (what purpose a ranger use a Thorn staff for!?) and 10% are equips that I have never seen before.

    Few people managed to enter the keep without any problems but some of my other acquaintances has trouble entering in due to certain skills that allow to bypass monsters without being harmed. And most of them are new people. After certain mountain ascensions and lead people near the entrance of Crimson Wood Keep and one question:

    "How do we enter the keep? Those Crimson Guardians will slaughter us, even you!"
    I said in response: "We divide and conquer. Go to that direction and wait for my call." Firing arrow bomb after arrow bomb to stun the guardians and I said "Go Go Go!" and with haste, they managed to enter inside unscathed.

    Returning to my normal training grounds in the Upper Ascent, I saw more monsters awaited me. I readied my arrow bomb to stun the hovering firebrand heads and escaping their flame breath, they managed to light up the tip of my arrow bomb. "Ah fu-" *KABOOOOM

    Not only it has vaporized the Firebrand heads at close range, but it sent me 30 feet from the upper ascent back down near to the haunted house. As I suffered terrible damage from my own arrow, I needed to return to New Leaf City to recover due to my critical status.

    Then a thief shanked me. All my equipment spilled out like a pinata. And the thief called in 5 other people to take my equipment. I reached my hand out to reobtain the equipment but the thieves were too strong. I fell unconscious and saw a bright light at the end of the tunnel as I knew I was gonna die.

    Except that I wasn't dead. Technically dead but still living.

    HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME.
    I'm Retired.

    Expecting part 2, wherein you are an evil spooky ghost that haunts thieves, setting things right where they once went wrong.

    Chapter 1

    I have awaken to be stripped of all my items that the thief took. Still lying on the ground. Muttering to myself as I was inside a horrible dream. I know I should have died but yet I'm alive... somehow.

    "How long was I out?" I said to myself.

    "From the looks of your body, I say you are the undead." says the female stranger.

    "No really, how long was I out?" I said in response.

    "If you haven't muttered to yourself, I would have killed you a while ago. So, go look at yourself for a minute and grasp yourself first".

    I looked around and saw a female archer. She has the prettiest eyes I have seen for a long time. Then I gazed on the mirror and saw myself.

    "H-H-How is this possible? I should be dead." I said with great disgust. My body is decaying, my eyes are white and all my hair is gone. "

    "With the recent events that occurred, the Maple world has it's own cataclysm. For some odd reason, the cataclysm killed and resurrected maplers as well." the female archer replied.

    "Where am I?" I asked.

    "We're inside my house. We're on the hills on Henesys that you can oversee Victoria Island" the female archer responded. "Tell me, who're you? Before you died of course. That unless you lost your memories."

    "I'm a ranger. One of the very people who navigates the Crimson Woodkeep and guides people through it."

    "Oh? I'm a training to become a hunter. It's good to get tips from a seasoned veteran. But it looks like you are bare bones."

    "A thief shanked me and stole all my equipment. I was critically wounded at the time and I knew that one more attack would end my life. Can you hand me the Maple Newspaper?"

    "Sure. But I don't know what you need it for." she replied.

    I checked the date on the newspaper. Labeled December 26th 2010. Then it struck me that I have died on August 18th, 2010. I have been dead for four months.

    "What's your name?" the female archer asked.

    "Name is Desmond Armundsen. What's yours?" I replied back.

    "Rillanna Morian. Tell me Desmond, do you still have your bowman skills? I would really like to learn from you."

    "Why yes, I do have my bow skills. But I need the proper equipment too. After all, I'm only wearing rags at the time being since the thieves took all my equipment. And sitting here won't do anything good." as I replied and gotten up to the door.

    But I felt my hand being grasped by Rillanna.

    "Now hold on Desmond, the world you see the past isn't the same what it is couple of months ago. The monsters are more stronger, the landscape has changed and I don't think you are prepared for what is coming." she told me.

    "How can I not be prepared? The world changes but we're still intact. In fact, the world won't change, all it does is turn. Some people faced massive changes in the Maple World from people gaining 4th job skills to new items that people desire."

    But as soon as I opened the door, the world wasn't the same that I was so used to. The paths that I knew hundreds of times were destroyed. The towns are no longer in the same place and I fainted after that.

    "Desmond? Desmond!" Rillanna panicked but calmed herself down and brought my withering body back inside her house.

    As I woke up, I have so many questions to ask. Why did the cataclysm occurred? Why am I alive when I am suppose to be dead? Did the MapleWorld changed for the good or for the better? Damn it, I feel like Rip Van Winkle.

    "I know it is a lot to take in after you were gone from this world. Trust me, I have a father who was a ranger who traveled the world and couldn't take the changes of the Maple World. He died of a heart attack due to a weak heart." said Rillanna.

    "I'm sorry Rillanna, both your father and your concern on a withered body that came back to life for no reason." I replied.

    Rillanna smiled, "You have nothing to worry about Desmond. You are a corpse but there is a reason why you are alive."

    "Huh, I guess that is god's way of tormenting me some more." I replied in a sarcastic tone.

    "So... Um... could you help train with me?" Rillanna asked me.

    "I guess so, my skills has been a rough after being dead and with my equipment gone..." I replied.

    Rillanna gives me a bag that contains archer clothes and a Ryden bow. I was surprised how she passes the bag to me quick.

    "Oh? I can't take this. I'm a rotting corpse and this must cost you some potion money."

    "Please take it Desmond. I need to better than the other hunters. Oh, here's the new skill manual. I'm sure you know that the job leaders changed it for the better."

    I thought to myself: "That right? New skills? That must mean my old skills are obsolete. Sigh..."

    "I guess we will start training tomorrow. I will have to look at the new skillbook manual."

    "Great! Thanks for the opportunity Desmond. You can stay over in my house as long as you want! I am going to sleep." Rillanna replied while she heads upstairs to her room.

    I thought some more: "Hmph, maybe I do have a purpose for being alive... learning something from this world. Ah well, time to look over the new skillbook manual."

    I've found a few gramattical errors i'd like to point out. Otherwise, GIVE ME MORE! This is good.

    Leave him be. I suck at English, in particularly with have and has.

    Chapter 2 should be done in 3 days. Scratch that, I have other things to finish on.
