…Somaliendiel!
So, as she had promised, Ange bought me a Premium Rebirth Card, despite running into one or two problems along the way , which I felt a little bad for. I found out, however, that I wouldn’t be able to use it until Friday, and realized that the next day would be the age-up day. Now, now, it’d suck if I made a character and he went eleven just on the next day! I then decided to wait, despite being very impatient. We didn’t do much meanwhile, though… a part of it, at the least, I want to forget.
In New Year, after we finished training Lunch for the day, Herro took me to Phillia with his eagle, Dragonwinds, all the while we had a thunderstorm at Erinn! I like thunderstorms in Mabi, they are very well made and you can’t see anything without the thunder. Oh, you don’t believe me? Watch!
See the world down there? No? Hehehe, I know. But it is down there, that I can assure you! Herro went AFK shortly afterwards, though, and I did some Exploration in Connus Desert to pass the time. Just as I had found an elf, however, we had a blackout… at exactly midnight! I got really pissed, but nothing could be done. Sigh, it was a 1500 elf too! In the next day, I decided to get to level 31, and since I was alone, I did the elven dungeon next to Phillia to get some extra experience. Nothing worth mentioning here, except that I killed the Ruin Guardian about four times before deciding to go finish the training in the desert. Lunch helped, too!
He is stupid, though. Later on — the day before yesterday, me thinks — we did some more Shadow World quests. The doppelganger one, to be more especific. Herro also brought a korean friend of his, Rozalis! I wanted to see a korean archer for some time now, since I’m aware that I have a speed delay due to, like, being in Brazil, very far from Korea. True to my thoughts, she was amazingly fast and powerful, both as an archer and as an alchemist. I got very, very, very pissed at the quest, though, since I lagged heavily and plus she was a heavyweight that instagibbed everything. I did like her, though, but lag plus that made me feel really useless, which is never good. Oh, well.
There she is, Rozalis. 로잘리스! Did I mention I’m learning korean? Even though, it is not half as hard as you probably think it is — well, at least writing and reading what is called the Hangul. Useful to check NPC names and know how to read the names of korean friends you might make…! More on that later. Now, to the Rebirth! As soon as I got the age-up, I went to do it. But I took some last shots of old Soma… I grew attached to him, actually, and he is not hideous at all.

Goodbye, old Soma.

Nao appears!

He looks quite scared... don't worry, you won't die.
You won’t be forgotten, either. Goodbye, my empty smile!

Meet the new Soma!
I loved those clothes. They are premium newbie wear, and do really look like both elven-like and child-like! Plus, it’s in a cool brown tone! Just a while after, there was a guy with a cape exactly like mine…! His boots were true white, though, while mine are pastel. I couldn’t find the pure white one yet… I hope I do soon.

Even white gloves... pure white! I'm jealous.
Then, we went to get me a title, the “10-year-old bear killer” or something like that. We didn’t pick the right bear, however…
Now what?
Oops. Then, a korean passed by and tried talking to us. I, deciding to try and befriend more koreans, since in Mabinogi, the more the merrier, said a cheerful “hi”. And guess what, it worked!
I can’t really read his name, though. Kippulhui? I’ll just call him Kippi! After some weird things, I invited him to do Barri with us, since it was the original plan! Apparently, Ange had gotten a special pass to it. So, we went by foot to the city of Bangor, where Barri is located! Kippi had to go the bathroom (and boy, did he take a long time!), so we got some free time, which I used to get my Throw Stone skill. I had simply to buy a piece of cake to a little boy who looks like he is working hard, Shion!
Aww, isn’t he cute? Maybe I can go and give a full cake to him some time! Aftwards, I had some nostalgia moments, since, when I first played Mabinogi, Ange trained me in the ways of the sword in the very city we were in now. Oh, ye old times…
This was my very first human, Somma. Familiar name, huh? In any case, while waiting, I met yet another korean, who apparently got curious with my English, just like Ange said they do.
Just pretend you can read his name! He was nice, but didn’t know much English. T’least I added him, so later on I’ll edit it here with his name, hehe. I coudn’t read it at the time. His clothes were also very nice, I’ll have to ask Ange to take me to the NPC that sells them so I can check.
Well, that is all for today, folks! From this day on you’ll hear the adventures of the new (which is actually the old) Somaliendiel!
And one last thing… thank you very much, Ange. I mean it.
