Chapter 2:

(Rudy D2) Chapter 2: Arcane Arts Online

The Cataclysm


It's been 2 days since the start of the apocalypse. I'm amazed that the internet is still online but no one has posted in the past. Ive just been passing time by playing this epic MMORPG, (Arcane Arts Online) I fell in love with last year after its amazing launch. It was still being supported with dlc up until everything went to shit. Its an amazing video game where you pick from various races and classes. I choose a spellsword which has a mixture of one handed and spells. I hard specced into the magic skills because that was the main selling point of the series. They advertised that there were over 100000+ Spells ranging from basic spells like fireball and more advanced spells like raise dead which allows the user to resurrect any creature or enemy that is 5 levels below you. Personally I leaned more towards destruction magic.

Arcane Arts Online has robust survival mechanics. You have to keep track of hunger, thirst, temperature, sanity, sleep, etc. You can actually suffer injuries like broken limbs, etc.

The sanity meter is super in depth, it affects all stats and can greatly reduce your damage and damage resistance over time. The meter goes down by resting/sleeping or drinking. You can also get negative traits that hurt your character but give game breaking buffs.

On a serious note I'm going to have to make a supply run for food and water. I know that the water is still running in my apartment but you know how long that will last. I need to have a surplus of water in case it shuts off. Half my apartment is filled with buckets and bottles filled with water. Food is the main thing I’m short on. I still think the duct tape and jacket should stop the zombies from biting me.
