Blade And Sword Kirito
Author's Note
This is chapter two of my adaption of Sword Art Online. This chapter holds some more explanation of the game's mechanics. Because SAO is mostly about a MMORPG, I thought that I should limit the amount of fight scenes that I put in. Writing every scene regarding when he grinds is going to get boring real quick, so in the early chapters, it's going to skip over them or summarize them briefly.
Also, because I plan to write on all 100 floors, or as many as I can, I want to make sure that characters are fully explored. I don't want them to all meet in a singular chapter, as that will make it very hard for me to write interesting plot lines in the future.
The story is still in it's infant stages, and I hope that I can make it better in the future.

His fingers moved hesitantly towards the status menu. Kirito let out a sigh as he jerked his finger back, deciding not to add any stats yet. Instead, he opened his inventory to see how many [Wolf Fangs] he had. The current quest requested 8 of them, and he had well over the required amount. Kirito trudged his way back towards the quest giving NPC, turning the quest in.
« You have acquired the following for completing the following quest: Materials for a Camper »
« 300 Col »
« 90 Exp »
« 1x Camper's Leg Armor »
« Congratulations, you are now Level 3! »
Kirito frowned as he saw the amount of saved stat points increased. Currently, he had 16 points to spend, but he didn't want to use them hastily. It was because the mechanics of the game changed significantly since the beta. First, new stats that Kirito had never seen appeared. He opened up his character stats to review them one more time.
« STR: 12 »
« DEX: 7 »
« CON: 3 »
« AGI: 6 »
« VIG: 4 »
« RES: 3 »
« END: 4 »
« FOC: 3 »
« ATU: 1 »
« LUC: 1 »
Although he could try and follow the traditional MMORPG definitions, Kirito wasn't going to rely on the other games. His life depended on these stats, and he would make sure that he would make the greatest efficiency out of all of them.
So far, he understood STR as strength, which increased the amount of damage one could do with their primary weapon. As Kirito was rewarded with some other weapons from monster drops, he noticed that the weapons required prerequisite stats. The weapons also had scaling, which meant the more points you had in the stat, the more damage you did.
DEX, or dexterity, was also a stat used mostly to boost the damage of a primary weapon. Unlike strength weapons, which consisted of two-hand swords, axes, and others of the variety, dexterity weapons consisted of those such as rapiers or throwing daggers.
Kirito could guess that stats such as CON, VIG, END, and RES were defensive stats. Constitution, vigor, endurance, and resistance were stats that Kirito did not know the specifics of yet. He had seen armors and shields require some amount of the stats, but that was it.
AGI and LUC, Kirito assumed to be agility and luck. ATU and FOC was something that Kirito had no idea at all what it could be. At the current situation, Kirito really only knew what STR and DEX were. Although it may be risky, he would wait until he obtained information as to what the other stats did.
When he looked through the many items he obtained, from weapons to shields to armors to accessories, something caught Kirito's eyes. It was that other than the starting equipment, other items obtained from monster drops or quests relied heavily on some stats, while requiring almost little to none at all of the others.
It was disturbing, as it was only the first floor. Yet, even with that fact, items relied too heavily on some stats, making it seem as if build paths needed to be chosen right away, something that traditional MMORPGs didn't do. They allowed flexibility, allowing the player to choose their own path, before deciding to dedicate their characters to a specific build.
Combined with the fact that there was no known Re-Spec system in the game, deciding to level any stat so far was dangerous, even more so to a solo player like himself. Kirito, knowing these facts, decided to wait until he saw the stat requirements for the [Anneal Blade]. It was the best weapon Kirito had seen in the early stages of the game, and he doubted that Kayaba changed that, considering how difficult the quest was.
For each level gained, the player obtained 8 new stat points to allocate to his or her own choice. [[Sword Arts]], or sword skill points, were also obtained through leveling up. One level gained would give the player 20 points to allocate. Kirito obtained the knowledge from experience that using the skills repeatedly occasionally increased the skill.
He tried to spam skills on lower enemies, attempting to try and increase the level of his [[Sword Arts]], but noticed that the skill didn't improve. It seemed that skills needed to be used on enemies of the same or stronger level. It was a risk, which the payoff was increasing the level of the skill. As [[Sword Arts]] were risky to use, but strong, it made players make a difficult choice.
Being level 3, Kirito had only unlocked two [[Sword Arts]]. The first was «Reinforced Slash», the second being «Quick Strike». Unlike stat points, Kirito used up all the points he had to level his skills. The [[Sword Arts]] obtainable in the future all required a determined amount of points in the skill tree, so saving up the points would be useless. Also unlike stat points, there was a Re-Spec system that allowed players to reallocate their points. The maximum amount of points a player could allocate to a skill was 1000 points.
Kirito had also made sure to discover as much as he could about the world of Aincrad. The time was the same as that in the real world, operating at 24 hours a day. The mechanics of the game made it so that specific monsters would appear depending on the time of day. This was another tedious detail that players needed to take into account.
Something that frustrated him a lot was the [[Lifestyle Points]]. It was as if Kayaba was mocking them, telling the players that they would be stuck in the world. The players would also receive a small amount of points to invest into a specific lifestyle. While [[Merchant]], or [[Blacksmith]][[Lifestyle]] already existed in the beta, Kayaba had added more jobs.
They consisted of those that players would almost never use, such as cooking, fishing, knitting, and others of the sort that would only be used in the real world. It was also frustrating to see that neither [[Merchant]] nor [[Blacksmith]] was included in the list. It seemed that Kayaba left out the two most important ones out on purpose. Most likely, players would have to discover the [[Lifestyle]] through quests. Kirito made it so that he would not even invest any points in this section, as to tell himself that he would escape the world, that these points weren't needed at all.
Currently, Kirito sat in front of the Camper NPC's tent, waiting for the next dialogue. This dialogue would trigger the hint for the location of hidden village of [Horunka]. This village would be the location in which the [Anneal Blade] quest was given. He had thought of skipping the quest and heading towards the location, which he had memorized through the beta, but decided against it as he suspected that the location might be different from the beta.
The extra Col and Exp also wouldn't hurt.
Three days have passed by since the beginning of the death game, and he had only reached level 3. Considering that he had done as many small quests as possible, as well as hunting monsters that were the same level as him, he suspected that he would be one of the higher level players at the current point of the game. It was quite ridiculous, that he could only reach level 3 after three days of hard grinding. It would probably take another day to reach level four, which he would then continue on to do the quest.
Luckily for him, he could sleep comfortably in the village of [Horunka], as the Camper NPC gave him a handwritten letter.
'Show this to the village chief. He will be indebted to you, and allow you to stay at the village for a period of time.' The NPC replied. Kirito raised his eyebrows. Why would he need to stay at the village for a while? At least he had a free place to lodge now.
Kirito took the letter from the man, and proceeded his way to find the hidden village. He entered the forest clearing, slowly making a path for himself. He scanned the area repeatedly as he walked, making sure that he would not get ambushed by a mob of monsters. Clear tracks made by the camper could be seen, and all Kirito had to do was follow the long trail. He faithfully followed the trail, fighting his way through the occasional mobs that appeared in front of him. He frowned as he saw the exp bar barely budge from the kills.
After a short while, he finally arrived to the hidden village. Trees surrounded the entire village, and all of the buildings were made of wood. The village had a small population, as it was proven by the limited amounts of buildings. Kirito headed directly towards the village chief. The NPC stared at Kirito, until Kirito handed the NPC the letter the camper gave him. The NPC took the letter, reading the letter before looking back towards him.
'I thank you for helping one of our villagers. As a reward, you will be able to stay in the village for as long as you need to see fit.' The village chief said. Kirito grinned. He had found a place to lodge at, and he would look at the bazaars that the village had. He expected the merchants to sell different items, or at different prices.
Time had passed by quickly, and it was approaching nighttime already when Kirito had arrived to the village. He approached the Village Bazaar, talking to the NPC, initiating the purchasing dialogue.
'Welcome to Horunka! Please, take a look at the merchandise! I have heard from the village chief that you helped one of out people, so I will give you a special discount.' Kirito's eyes twinkled as he listened. His eyes sparkled more as he saw the items the NPC was selling. All the items were items that were only sold at the village. To think that he would be able to buy these, at a discount!
He clicked on the first item, deciding to look through every item to see what kind of boost the item would give.
« Ring of Coincidence »
« A special ring made by the crafters of the Horunka settlers. »
« Level Requirement: 5 »
« Effect: +2 LUC »
« Cost: 850 Col »
« Will you purchase this item? »
« Yes/No »
'WHAT!' His voice echoed throughout the village. Luckily, the village NPCs paid him no attention. His eyes boggled as he re-read the information on the first item. Leveling up gave the player 8 points to use. To gain two free points on luck, a player needed to spend 850 Col? Kirito eyed his inventory, eyes focusing on the amount of Col he currently possessed. 942 Col was the number reflected.
He crumbled hopelessly into the ground. Once again, the village NPCs paid him no attention. If accessories that gave miniscule stat boosts were this expensive, then how expensive would special stats be? He quickly left the bazaar, heading towards the lodge that he would sleep in for the night. He entered the lodge, and the familiar innkeeper NPC entered his vision. It was a female, the same one which would hand him the quest for the [Anneal Blade].
Kirito sat on the counter, as the innkeeper also served as a cook.
'Sorry we can't serve any food at the current moment, a glass of water is all that is available right now.' It was the same dialogue as the beta, so kirito knew the required action. He drank the the cup of water, placing it down on the counter after finishing. Instantly, Kirito could hear a soft coughing noise coming from upstairs.
'Is everything alright?' It was the dialogue that would trigger the quest.
Kirito smiled, as he already knew what the quest was going to be. The innkeeper's daughter was sick, and the medicine required the ingredient of the [Little Nepenthes's Ovule]. The quest was fairly simple, but time consuming as the drop required a specific Nepenthes to have the flower growing. The drop rate of the item in the beta was low. It would require some hardcore grindi-
'My child is sick, she was cursed by the [Ruin Kobold Shaman]. The curse can only be cured by slaying the shaman. The shaman hides in the Kobold base that is near the river.' Kirito's eyebrows raised at the dialogue. What the hell? What about the [Little Nepenthes]? Did the quest change? Why?
Another huge change from the beta was that quests did not show the recommended level for the quest. Players would blindly accept quests that they had no clue as to whether they could handle it or not. Luckily for Kirito, he hadn't experienced any major changes from the beta. That is, until now.
He mulled over the possibility of the current quest having a trap. Kirito decided to take a risk. He had a teleport stone, and although they were expensive as hell, they were worth using if it was going to save his life.
« Eradicating the Curse: Will you accept this quest? »
« Yes/No »
'Don't worry, I'll slay the shaman.' The innkeeper smiled at his words and clasped his hands, repeating words of thanks. Kirito went upstairs to find his bed that was free of charge. He smiled. It wasn't that Kirito was a cheapskate, but after seeing how expensive items were, he doubted that sleeping at a lodge was cheap. He gained a new appreciation for his hard earned money. It was likely that he would become very stingy with money in the future.
He lied down on his bed, setting the alarm to wake him up early, at the start of the morning. He would try and reach level 4 before attempting the quest.
X-Sword Art online:Realization-X
'Tsk!' Kirito gritted his teeth as another [Ruin Kobold Recruit] was slain. His schedule was moving according to plan, as he had reached level 4 in the morning. After, he had actively started to search for the Kobold camp, following the river.
He was filled with delight, as he expected the camp to be hard to find. The original quest in the beta required grinding, but it seemed that he would be able to finish this one quickly. Did this mean that the [Anneal Blade] was significantly less powerful than the beta? The number of enemies in the camp told him otherwise.
Kirito understood now why the camper allowed him to stay at the village for free for a while. The camp was swarmed with enemies, and heading in straight through the front was suicide. In the first day, Kirito had lured small mobs by throwing stones or making loud noises in the bushes. No matter how many he killed, it seemed that the number of [Ruin Kobold Recruits] weren't decreasing.
The process was grueling, as Kirito had to wait for the perfect opportunity to distract them. One wrong move, and the entire camp would charge right at him. His heart filled with despair when he couldn't even kill a fourth of them, even when he had spent the entire day. He was worried that all his efforts would disappear, as they might respawn.
His worries were dismissed on the second day. When Kirito headed towards the camp, the numbers of recruits had decreased, meaning that it was most probable that the recruits did not respawn until the quest was finished. Still, his temper rose for every time he killed another recruit. Although he didn't keep track of the amounts of enemies he killed, Kirito estimated that he was nearing the 60 mark. Even then, he couldn't spot the [Ruin Kobold Shaman].
He slapped himself in the face to regain focus. He needed the [Anneal Blade], as the item was most likely going to set his build path. The item was too good to miss. He wasn't going to give up because the quest was time consuming. He was fucking Kirito, the completer of many RPGs. A little grinding wasn't going to hurt his spirit.
Or that's what he thought.
He was currently on the fifth day, and Kirito was spending every hour awake luring and killing the [Ruin Kobold Recruits]. Kirito felt his mental capacity reaching his limit.
'FUCK!' He yelled as he repeatedly slashed down towards one of the monsters. He cursed the damned creature and the changed quest. He didn't have the luxury to spend so much time on a single quest. The gain he got in return was too little now.
The [Ruin Kobold Recruits] were level 4, and Kirito had now hit Level 5 after hunting for so many. Now that his level was higher than the monsters that he was hunting, the amount of Exp he received in return was miniscule and inefficient. Efficiency was the most important thing right now.
He was no expert in knowing how long his body would last in real life, but he wanted to escape as soon as possible. His hope was slowly dwindling as he realized that he spent a week and a half without clearing even the first floor…
The drops of his current prey appeared in front of him as a game message when he turned around and charged. He gripped his sword harder, as he saw another [Ruin Kobold Recruit]. He made quick work of the enemy, climbing up one of the trees to get to higher grounds. Finally, he could walk in the camp. There were almost no enemies.
He heard the laughter of a madman enter his ears as he approached the recruits. It took a little while for Kirito to realize that the laughter was coming from himself. Finally, finally! Kirito let out a roar as he charged towards the recruits. He swore that he saw the monster recoil in fear as Kirito entered their line of sight.
Only one recruit was inside the camp, and Kirito walked slowly towards the monster. He had cleared the entire camp in five days. Yet still, Kirito couldn't find the one responsible for the curse. He stabbed the recruit straight through the heart, and Kirito growled as he looked around. Where was the shaman?
As if on queue, after the final [Ruin Kobold Recruit] exploded, the shaman emerged from one of the crude huts. Kirito gritted his teeth. Did the [Ruin Kobold Shaman] only come out after all the recruits were slain?
Kirito charged towards the Shaman, wanting to put on pressure. The enemy was a shaman, which meant that spells would be the main choice of offense. He needed to stay close, so that the shaman couldn't cast the spells.
Or, that was what a shaman was supposed to do.
Instead, the shaman pulled out a small knife, thrusting it forward. Kirito, who was already stuck in the charging motion, twisted his body as much as he could, in an attempt to dodge the surprise attack. He was somewhat successful in his dodge, as the attack only grazed him. The combat system depended on the player's skill. Although the enemies had near perfect accuracy, the player could dodge the attacks as long as they had the reflexes.
His eyes widened in shock as he saw a small icon appear under his name.
« Minor Curse »
« AGI reduced by 15% »
« STR reduced by 15% »
« DEX reduced by 15% »
« VIG Reduced by 15% »
'Shit!' Kirito cursed loudly as he went back into his fighting stance. Status effects already in the first floor? Even worse, a debuffing stat? He was in a major disadvantage in the fight now. He shuddered as he read the name of the debuff. This debuff was one of the weaker versions, and he didn't want to imagine what kinds of debuff existed in the upper floors.
Frustration showed on Kirito's face as he tried to attack again. He had lost one point in agility because of the debuff, and he could feel the effects already. His movements were slower, and his attacks did significantly less damage. Still, the fight would end with his victory.
The shaman was a similar enemy to that of the recruits, so their [[Critical Spot]] would be similar also. The spot was the head. The head was protected by a head armor piece that had multiple slits through it, allowing the user of the armor to see through the slits. Although his damage was lower, if he was able to make the Shaman [Vulnerable], then he would be able to win the fight.
He waited for the [Ruin Kobold Shaman] to attack first. His strategy was to force the shaman into the same mistake he had made at the beginning of the fight. His weapon had a greater reach than the small knife the shaman had. Kirito reared his sword back, aiming his thrust towards the slit in the head armor. The enemy shaman was stuck in its attack motion, and Kirito grinned as his sword entered the head armor.
A strangled cry signaling [Vulnerability] entered Kirito's ears, and he continued his next attack.
'«Swift Strike»!' Kirito pulled back the sword near his waist, holding the motion for a moment before he felt the unique feeling of the system assisting the action. He let loose his [Beginner's Blade], slashing the shaman in half. The shaman dispersed, and a game window appeared.
« Ruin Kobold Shaman Drops: »
« 160 Col »
« 50 Exp »
Kirito's legs gave out, making him fall to his knees. He looked up towards the beautiful blue sky, silent tears falling the side of his face. This was a beautiful moment to celebrate. He would use some money to buy himself a feast later on. Five days of hunting, and he finally finished the quest. The skull icon under his name had disappeared. Kirito laughed, standing up as he felt energy come back into his legs.
He ran back towards the innkeeper, bursting in through the inn. As he entered, he saw the innkeeper NPC hugging her child. The child was laughing as she was trapped in the embrace of her guardian.
'Thank you, thank you so much! I knew you killed the shaman the moment I entered her room! I'm sorry, I don't have much to give you.. ' She trailed off silently before noticing his sword.
'Oh, are you an adventurer? Please, take this sword! It's a longsword handed down from our family.' Kirito let out an evil laugh as he saw the game message appear in front of him.
« You have acquired the following for completing the following quest: »
« Eradicating the Curse »
« 100 Col »
« 10 Exp »
« 1x Anneal Blade »
Kirito dismissed the low amount of Col and Exp he received. It was no doubt because of the grinding that was needed to be done in order to complete the quest, that the two rewards were so low. The real prize of the quest was the [Anneal Blade] anyways.
He opened up his inventory, looking at the stat requirements for the anneal blade. Unlike his [Beginner's Sword], which showed the art of the sword on top of a white background, the [Anneal Blade] had a blue background. The text of the weapon was also written in red, unlike the typical black. It was because of the loot system of the game.
Drops were categorized into different colors, which represented their rarity. There was the white color, which represented common. Then came green, which stood for uncommon. Next was blue, which was rare. Purple represented the epic items, with orange being the last. An item with a orange color meant that the item was a legendary item. Beta testers theorized that legendary items were almost impossible to get, as no one in the beta could obtain a legendary item. They played for well over a month, and no one could obtain one.
The red text meant that the item was [[Unique]]. This signified that the item could only be obtained through the specific enemy or quest. No other monster, boss, or quest would drop the item. It also meant that the item had a extra ability. If his memory served correctly, the [Anneal Blade] was the only unique item in the first few floors.
Kirito clicked on the [Anneal Blade], making sure that he looked at the complete details of the weapon.
« Anneal Blade »
« A blade handed down the generations of one of the settlers of Horunka. »
« The item is different from others, from the fact that it can be upgraded to the state of +10, »
« compared to the other items which can only be upgraded into +5 »
« Required Stats to Equip »
« Level Requirement: Level 5 »
« STR: 25 »
« DEX: 20 »
« AGI: 15 »
« All other stats: 1 »
« STR Scaling: D »
« DEX Scaling: D »
« ATU Slots: 0 »
« Required material to Upgrade to Anneal Blade +1 »
Every thing looks a bit fuzzy/blurry in both units. Flight simulator vr demo. Mostly down to the poor display each unit as. Theres very few titles that don't get me motion sick tbh. No were close to what a normal led/lcd panel can display for sharpness and quility imohow ever I might be willing to pick this up becuz Im a flight sim fan as wellWell.
« 3x Wolf Claws »
« Weight: 13.2 »
« Damage: 38 »
Kirito closed the weapon window, heading straight towards his status window. He took a deep breath, staring at his 40 unused Status points. Without any hesitation, he allocated his points to the required stats. 13 into strength and dexterity, 9 into agility. He used 35 points without hesitation, leading to only 5 points left. He let out a sigh of relief as he finished. He thanked himself for being patient enough to save his points.
The requirements for the [Anneal Blade] weren't very flexible, forcing him to almost use all his points into meeting the requirements. If he had used some points on experimenting on the other stats, then he would have to level up, unable to equip the sword.
Still, Kirito couldn't help but worry as he stared at his status window. All of his stats were focused on the major offensive stats, with almost no investment on the defensive stats. This meant that his choices for armors were going to be very limited. It was one of the major problems Kirito noticed at the beginning. As mentioned earlier, it seemed that build paths were determined in the beginning. He would have to focus on being a DPS character.
He questioned the ATU slot, but dismissed the thought as his sword had none. With the new information, he could make a better guess. It was probably a stat which allowed one to have more equipment with ATU slots. Kirito deducted that ATU slots were slots that allowed equipment to be buffed with items.
Kirito proceeded to equip his new weapon. The sword materialized in front of him, landing gingerly on his hands. He unsheathed the sword, inspecting it at different angles. The design was the same as the beta, consisting of a handle wrapped in black bandages. The end of the handle had and iron cap. The hilt of the sword was also made of iron, stretching out into opposite directions. The main blade was black, with the edges of the blade being silver.
He closed the status window, before opening up his inventory. He scanned through his inventory, a satisfactory smiling showing on his face as he found the item that he needed.
« 15x Wolf Claws »
He had more than enough to level up his [Anneal Blade] twice. The unique effect of the [Anneal Blade] was to level it up 10 times instead of the original 5. Although items in later floors could be upgraded up to 10 times as its basic amount, those items would be appearing somewhere around the 5th floor. In other words, his [Anneal Blade] would set himself up to be fine until then.
Although Kirito would've loved to stay in [Horunka], he needed to return to the [City of Beginnings]. The village had no [[Blacksmiths]], and his current agenda required him to upgrade his sword, as well as to level up.
So Kirito left the village, heading back towards the starting city. He had isolated himself for a significant period of time trying to obtain the [Anneal Blade], and he needed to see if there was anything going on in the main city.
As he arrived, Kirito headed straight towards the Bazaar section of the city, which held all the [[Merchants]] and [[Blacksmiths]]. He glanced around, making sure that there were no player [[Merchants]] or [[Blacksmiths]]. If there were, he would make sure to head straight to them, in order to help them level up their respective skills. As the [[Blacksmith]] and [[Merchant]][[lifestyle]] weren't discovered yet, he doubted any player took the job, unless it was discovered without him knowing.
He approached the [[Blacksmith]], following the needed dialogue in order to get his sword upgraded. He handed the materials over, and watched as the NPC got to work. His sword was heated in fire, set into an anvil as it was glowing red with heat. The man then melted the required materials, proceeding to pour the contents onto the sword. The NPC lifted his hammer, slamming on the sword in a mechanical way. After 5 swings, A message window appeared in front of Kirito.
« Anneal Blade has been successfully upgraded to: Anneal Blade +1! »
« Damage has been increased by 6! »
He closed the message window, expecting the upgrade to succeed. It was only the first upgrade, and the chances of it failing were close to zero. Kirito opened up the window for his [Anneal Blade +1], seeing what the required upgrade materials were. They required [8x Wolf Claws], so Kirito immediately repeated the process.
« Anneal Blade has been successfully upgraded to: Anneal Blade +2! »
« Damage has been increased by 8! »
Overall, his primary weapon now dealt 14 more damage. Although it may sound little, when factoring in that 10 upgrades were possible, it meant that the sword could possibly deal over 80 damage from just upgrades. Also, as the sword had a base damage of 38, it meant that 4-5 upgrades could make the sword do double it's damage.
The next set of materials consisted of 5 [Night Wolf Bones], which as the name suggested, could only be obtained in the night time as that was when the monster spawned. It was currently nearing around 4 PM, so Kirito decided to head towards the city tavern in order to obtain information. He needed to know what the other players were doing.
Kirito entered the tavern, eyes widening at the large amounts of players gathered. Many players that purchased a copy of the game were previous MMORPG players, and it seemed that they all thought that players would gather in the tavern to exchange information.
As he found a seat, he listened in the multiple conversations that were going on around him. As he focused, Kirito noticed that many of these players were beginners, and that most of them had only questions, and no answers. As he listened, he grimaced.
It seemed that many of the players had not ventured outside of the city. They all thought that this was some sick joke, that people from the real world would get them out of this predicament. Only a small portion had ventured outside, a smaller portion leveling up. As the days passed by, it seemed that some people even tried to end their own lives, jumping off the edges of the map hoping that they would get liberated from the game.
'Someone found a door resembling the entrance to the 1st floor's boss. There's going to be a meeting that discusses the plans for defeating it. It's going to take place in two days in front of the statue fountain at 6 Pm. Please come if you want to help clear the game!' Kirito clung onto those words as he memorized the time, location, and date. The only way to invigorate the spirits and morale was to prove that the game was beatable.
