A jubilant smile splayed across Jasper’s face. His tail wagging back and forth as the scent of the greenery caressed his sensitive nose. The Maithe Woodlands was his favorite place in the game so far. The lifelike plants and animals left a deep-seated impression. It was nearly impossible for him to believe that he was still in his home. The forest felt so free and just completely right. Feeling completely at home Jasper decided to run a bit. The sensation of the wind on his skin and the earth beneath his feet was heavenly. It was almost too easy for him to tire himself out, enjoying the crisp nature of the woods. Jasper was being a bit inattentive and ran a more than he anticipated. As he slowly came back to his senses he realized his energy meters had dropped to less than half of the original values. The sunlight was starting to dwindle as the night setting swept across the game. In the game, stronger and deadlier monsters usually came out in the dark. Jasper knew that the monster would kill him easily. And even if this life was actually a game, Jasper knew the consequences of death was not pretty. Who actually liked to die? “Not good. Not good. Not good.” A usually observant Caenis like him getting lost in the woods was never a good sign. He took a deep breath and repeated the mantra “Keep calm. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.” The good breather helped him to better orientate himself. If he learned a thing in boy scouts, it was how to survive. Jasper remained calm to assess his best options. Option one Find shelter and camp out. Option two is to create a shelter. Option three log off the game and wait until morning. The last option was the easiest and could be done the fastest. Squeezing his hands to closed quickly and opening back up. He selected the log off function from his menu. System Warning: Cannot log off in combat The bolded red letters caused his heart to freeze. The rustling behind him could be the only warning to what the system was warning him about. Jasper prepared to shout the only spell he memorized. The spell may not work or to give him enough time to get away. The spell was currently the only thing he could think of, and a great place to start. @Leoknight
