Hi! So, I continued my adventure to a new place, a bigger and busier main city. But apparently, I needed a permit to cross the bridge that leads to the big city.
So, I stuck to the main quest, which sent me to a remote village under attack. It looked like a lot of the villagers (NPCs) had been killed. I snuck into the village and quietly took out the guards one by one. It wasn’t too hard—I used stealth attacks from behind and also sniped some enemies from a distance. This way I don't need to face all the enemies in hard way.
Next, the quest tracker led me into a cave. There were two entrances, and I chose the higher one. Inside, the path was empty then I got lucky and found a treasure chest!
After grabbing all the loot, I went back to check the other entrance and stumbled upon an NPC fighting enemies. This guy looked like a ronin, and he was defeating the some cave guards with ease. I went helped the ronin guy and seems like we were a team.
Not long after, some ninjas showed up and attacked us. Turns out, we had a common enemy, so we teamed up to take them down. The NPC’s name was Ryoma Sakamoto. How awesome is that? He’s the first ally I’ve met in the game! Ryoma was also looking for a permit, so we had the same mission.
After that, I teamed up with Ryoma for another quest. The cool part? I could switch between controlling my avatar and Ryoma whenever I wanted. It was so fun and felt fresh! Together, we climbed a hill where an enemy-filled building awaited us. It was such an epic mission! Having an ally made the game so much more enjoyable. Even though I was playing on the easiest difficulty, things got tricky when facing strong enemies in groups. I had to dodge their attacks constantly because a single successful combo could take me out. Still, we managed to beat the mission on our first try! I even got a new legendary weapon from the boss drop.
Besides the legendary weapon, I also got a glide prototype! Now I can glide from high places and cover long distances, depending on how high I jump from. On top of that, I unlocked new armor that matches my new weapon. It’s such a perfect combo. Best of all, I finally got the permit and headed to the big city.
My first impression of the city? Wow! There were so many fancy buildings and tall structures everywhere. I even saw a lot of NPCs in suits, adding to the city’s advanced vibe. The streets were packed with NPCs walking around, but I also ran into enemies occasionally. They’d start fights, so I had no choice but to take them down. The scenery in the city was absolutely stunning, and the bustling atmosphere made it feel so alive. I’m totally hooked on this game!
