Journal of a Young Orc Warrior

[Grubblies]

(OOC - Hi guys, this is my second attempt at fan fiction for a computer game, and I figured I'd do something a bit different. I'm hoping to put a bit of a comical light on playing WoW (amongst what humour already lies within the game) and give you guys an enjoyable read. Please remember that I have only been playing WoW a few months, and my first character (the one this journal is based upon) is only level 37 as of this writing.)


The Journal of Grubblies
Proud Orc Warrior!

Day 1:
At last! After weeks of procrastination and delays, I've finally managed to get my application approved to join the army of the Horde! I don't know why I put it off for so long, but I suppose all the extra exercise has helped. Wielding this axe that they gave me takes a lot more out of me than I first expected!

It's a bit strange though, the first thing they got me to do was go out and kill boars. Alright, so they fight back, and one of them bit me really hard on the arm, I'm sure it's going to bruise. Still, they were boars! It was like slaughtering well, boars! Anyway, after killing a couple of dozen of them I had these strange lights dance up around me and this strange writing appeared in front of me saying "Level 2" "Level 3" and something about Strength and Stamina and some other things.

I spoke to the Orc who ordered me to kill the Boars, and he told me that I was "leveling up". Something to do with when you kill a certain amount of creatures, you're rewarded with more of those "stats" and go through a significant physical change instantly when you "make a level".

Well anyway, at the moment I'm "level 5" and I guess I'll write some more again tomorrow.

Day 2:

It's been interesting, I've been killing scorpions and boars. Every now and then I find people who ask me to help them with something, usually they want me to kill a bunch of the same creatures, and then I bring the evidence back, they take it and give me some 'experience', which is apparently what makes you level up. Interesting! So this one guy asks me to take his whip and whip the peons who are sitting around instead of chopping down trees. I didn't see that coming! Lazy peons!

I learned some new abilities! They're really cool, they taught me how to do a battle shout which inspires me and anyone fighting with me to hit harder which is cool, and I learned how to do a heroic strike which helps me hit harder and it seems to calm me down whenever I do it... Interesting... I've noticed that whenever I hit stuff I get angrier and angrier. When I learned these new abilities they told me they consume rage, so I'm guessing it's some sort of psychological effect on doing something cool.



(That's all for now, I haven't had the chance to go back to The Den and refresh my memory of what's around there!)
