Youre here. Youre okay if you cant go back?

I dont mind, Im an Outsider after all.

Right. Then this way.

Ill follow the King of Tindalos. Are we going to the old castle?

Here. Touch this.

Immediately after we enter the old castle, that is, the main floor. It seems I am supposed to touch the statue of Stellura-sama in the centre.

<<Player: Fairellen has fulfilled specific requirements, and a fix and expansion will be applied to Identification.>>

Oh, to Identification? Well, its fine to wait until later to check it.

I want to evolve much more right now.

<It is possible to evolve into a race outside the Zombie species.>

<Base stats and racial skills may change significantly. Are you sure?>

Yes.

AhI am falling down again. Just like when I fell into the ocean.

Oh, Ive landed in the waterbut control of my body and vision have not been released yet.

<Beginning preparations to evolve from the Zombie species to an Outer One.>

<FaithStellura. ChoiceSpace-time, life, death, fate, contract, condemnation>

<Confirming previous actions.>

<Confirming evaluation by Residents.>

<Checking past logs.>

<It is possible to train. Sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell.>

What should I do about the training? If it is only a straight line, vision is still useful.

According to Mater Tenebrarum, sight is recommended. If my sense of smell dies, I wont be able to cook, and I dont want to lose something that has no substitute. The only option is sight.

It looks like I will be taking the sight training.

<Training: Sight has been selected.>

<Searching for matching Abyss races that currently exists.No match.>

<Creating a new raceConfiming the intervention of the goddessComplete.>

<It is possible to evolve into a unique Outer One race..The Drifting and Expanding One has been created.>

Lets check out the description and status.

The Drifting and Expanding One

You have evolved from a Zombie species into a being with incredible regenerative ability.

Something reddish-black in colour that is constantly growing and swelling.

Like them, you are restricted by the goddess Stellura when going to the surface world.

You can only display your true power in the realm of the goddess Stellura.

Regardless, you are phenomenal from the viewpoint of the surface.

Basic Status Evaluation

HP: S MP: S

Strength: A Dexterity: E Vitality: S Agility: F/C (S) Intelligence: C Spirit: A

Resistance: SSS Special: SSS Physique: Max

Something reddish-black in colour Its strong, though. Ive got maxed out resistance and special.

What is that? Theres something hanging in the air.

Incarnation: Abyss Monk

A humanoid vessel used when descending on the surface world.

A blind priest who prays from the place closest to God.

What do they pray for, and what do they wish for?

Basic Status Evaluation

HP: S MP: S

Strength: B Dexterity: D Vitality: A Agility: D/E (A) Intelligence: C Spirit: A

Resistance: SSS Special: SSS Physique: Sma

..Incarnation? Well, lets not get into the incarnation part at this point.

In other words, the main body, The Drifting and Expanding One, stays in the Abyss. I will be acting as the Abyss Monk. So the important thing is the status of the incarnation.

The incarnations status isthat HP and MP are increased by one level.

Strength is increased by three levels. Dexterity is reduced by one level. Vitality is increased by one level. Agility is increased by two levels on the ground. Intelligence is reduced by one level. Spirit increased by 2 levels.

Resistance and special are raised three levels. Body size is unchanged.

Its good that agilitys ground aptitude is the same as humans, but its air aptitude is a mystery. What are the parentheses? I think its some kind of condition, but its not clear now.

At any rate.There is no point that is below that of human anymore, right? Though the numerical value might still be lower. If there is a problem, Im worried about the decrease in dexterity.

Being an Outer One that can still pass as a humanIts very discreet!

Well, since I have no choice, Ill evolve.

<Equipment has been optimized.>

<Your realm has been added to the Abyss. You will now respawn in your realm.>

Oh, my field of view is..filled with something red and black that is wriggling. Thank you very much. At a stretch, it looks like Yog-samas 2P colours, doesnt it?

Oh..thats it. Its a lump of meat. I think its okay to leave out such ex-zombie elements.Who benefits from it? Its a solid, irregular mass. Its better than it being pink.I guess.

Drifting and expanding.In other words, this is going to grow bigger and bigger. So thats why my area seems to be isolated in outer space? Theres nothing around.

Now, where is my equipment? I dont have it equipped because Im a sphere. The physique was Max..its quite oversized at around 3 metres?

Of course, I have no limbs, so I dont know how to move.Oh, I see. On the ground it is much worse than slime, but reasonably fast while floating.

What I need to do now is check my status, skills, figure out where my equipment is.. and then rebuild.

Name: Anastasia Atropos Nemeseia

Race: The Drifting and Expanding One Lv40

Incarnation: Abyss Monk Female

Occupation: Agent of the Goddess, Ruler of the Afterworld

Title: Priest, Highest Judge

Class: Outer One

Order: Lower Independent Race

Family: Stellura

Genus: Unique

Species: Drifting and Expanding

Lets see.The race has changed and information on the incarnation has been added. Agent of the Goddess and Priest have been added, and attribute has disappeared, which means there is no attribute.

Then, the genus and the family are reversed and increased. I guess the proper taxonomy classification was followed. Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. This may be related to the system message about Fairellen-san.

Stellura familyWell, perhaps it is as object of worship. There is a log of the goddesss intervention during the creation of a new species, but.I should be able to find out by identifying King Woofwoof and the others. Its not time to panic yet.

Outer One

A synonym for the Goddesss agents, but also a synonym for the monsters.

It has a profound effect on the Residents, but the nature of the effect depends on the object of your worship.

Considering Stellura-sama, I can guess to some extent, but the exact effect is unknown.

Anyway, the skills are getting hard to see. Shall we change the display? Err..hmmmby effect genre, I guess.

Well, theres a lot to check. This is the best part of the game, really.

Aversas Highest Immortal to Lower Independent Race.

It is not possible to acquire attribute magic outside of the light and dark families.

1.2 times damage taken from the basic four attributes.

Light and dark damage received reduced by half.

Light and dark magic enhancement: Max.

Increased effectiveness of auto-healing skills: Max.

Critical damage immunity.

Environmental damage immunity.

Status condition immunity

No need to eat or sleep.

Isnt this a slight weakening? Its from the top of the previous tier to the bottom of this one, so perhaps it cant be helped. I think the pure base status is higher, but I hope it will evolve in the future.

Lets see..I cant learn the four attributes of fire, water, wind and earth. They are greyed out. In other words, their derivatives are also not available.

The weakness multiplier has been reduced, but the number of attributes I am weak to has increased. Dark absorption has been halved, but light has also been halved

Not only darkness but also light is now strengthened. Is it possible to use Holy Magic on myself now?

Aversa Royalty and Royal Authority to Outer One

When you are a party leader, the status of all members is increased. The rate of increase depends on the skill level and the size of the party.

Further increases the light and dark status of all party members.

Reduces the damage of light and dark attributes to all members.

It is a combined skill of Aversa Royalty and Royal Authority. A leadership skill. This is a pure enhancement. It has expanded to cover both light and dark.

Super HP Recovery and Super MP Recovery to Unusual God Larva

Automatically heals HP and MP according to the skill level.

Even if a body part is lost, regeneration will begin once the part is removed and restoration will be complete after 5 seconds.

It is a combined skill of Super HP Recovery and Super MP Recovery, isnt it? I can still lose body parts, like Immortals and undead, but they will be repaired immediately.

Ill give the dark parts to Ske-san and Alf-san.

Clad in Death> to Clad in Madness

Causes status abnormalities: Stun, Silence, Fear, Madness, Instant Death.

Increased chance of causing abnormality with skill level: Stun, Silence, Fear, Madness, Instant Death.

Abnormality strength increases every 10 levels: Currently 1, Maximum 6

Chance to cause abnormal conditions when entering the sight of the enemy, and when attacking.

Awakens instinctive fear.

From deadly poison, curse, weakness, instant death to stun, silence, fear, madness, instant death.

Most problematic of all is.it is not applied just on contact, but also visibility. It would be fun to turn it on in the city. I wont do it.

Is this the aura of King Woofwoof that I heard about in the church?

Physical Immunity to Higher Physical Immunity

If the targets attack skill level is lower than your skill level, physical damage taken will be nullified.

In the case of Physical Immunity, its if the targets skill level is less than or equal to half your skill level, so its purely enhanced. The skill level is halved, but its the same, so theres no problem.

Recovery Trait to Regeneration Trait

Significantly enhances all healing effects.

Its probably just a higher level skill. There is nothing to say.

Fear Resistance to Active Cells

Halves the effect of special abnormal conditions.

As you fight, your healing ability increases.

Gradually increases auto-healing and healing effects while you are fighting.

Mm. The latter skill effect is fine. But the first half is a mystery. What is a special condition? Theres no such thing in the helpPhysical, Mental, Other. I dont know if its included in Other or is Other as a whole, but it is currently unknown.

Judge to Soul Hunter

10% of the damage dealt is also dealt to MP. However, only 0.1% of the targets maximum MP can be removed per attack.

Damage increases or decreases according to the colour of the soul seen with Darklight Eyes.

Less damage against brighter targets, more damage against darker targets.

Those who are allowed to interfere with the soul, capable of forcibly sending the soul to the Nether.

The upper limit is 0.1%. .It is not more than an error. Better than nothing.

Yes, next. New skills, not evolutionary upgrades.

Higher Magic Immunity is a magical version of Higher Physical Immunity, so I can skip over it.

Coordinate Levitation

A levitation technique based on space manipulation.

From the perspective of mankind its a theory. To Outer Ones of the Stellura faith, its like breathing.

Unlike levitation or floating, you can stand as if you were on the ground.

Is it because of this skill that I am able to float now?

Im not sure how to use it right now, because Im not a humanoid. To be tested.

Great Art

Grant your own skill to your summoned servant, according to the skill level.

The capacity of the Necromantic Secrets increases over time.

Capacity cost, and capacity loss on servant death, of Necromantic Secrets is reduced.

It seems that the effect has been separated from Aversa Royalty and further strengthened.

The automatic capacity increase makes me happybut Isnt this using my own body? That is kind of hard to think about. Further consideration rejected.

Sphere of Shaking Flesh

Creates up to 13 spheres of varying sizes.

When attacked, the spheres automatically counterattack.

Attacks, but does not defend. However, the spheres can still be hit.

Has a special effect when active.

The tentacles of this skill are affected by the Rope skill.

Oh, it seems like the special effect for this skill is how parts of the body detach and reattach, like Stellura-sama.

The number of spheres is.3? Probably 3. It is very difficult to count them, because they are not spinning, but are constantly moving apart and sticking together. And they are of different sizes. Their colour is red and black like the main body.

The probability of automatic counterattack and the durability of the spheres are a mystery. To be tested.

Mad and Merciless

A part of your body can be taken out from any space.

It comes out in various shapes.

Possible actions:

Binding (Restraining), Binding (Biting), Piercing, Striking, Rope Arts.

The range as a tentacle is..within the range of Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion. The damage is a mystery, but its probably low. It is definitely strong in terms of useability though.

The problem is that it is very difficult to control. Of course it is not something that is possible in the real world, so it is going to take some practice to get used to.

Incarnation

Creates a mobile incarnation, for use on the surface.

Two incarnations cannot exist at the same time, and the main body becomes defenceless during use of the incarnation.

Incarnations can be created with the following three methods:

[Create Incarnation]

Create and control an incarnation in its base form, to go to the surface.

True performance cannot be demonstrated and there are restrictions.

The character is in underwear.

[Create Dishabille Incarnation]

Create and control a lightly dressed incarnation, to go to the surface.

True performance cannot be demonstrated and there are restrictions.

The character has equipment other than weapons and accessories.

[Restored Armament Incarnation]

Create and control a fully armed incarnation, to go to the surface.

True performance cannot be demonstrated and there are restrictions.

The character is fully equipped, including weapons and accessories.

Hmmm?

Ah, my equipment is in the equipment tab. Its like a shortcut where you dont have to change anything. Basically, Ill use the bottom one.

Invitation of the Main Body

Summons the main body to the location of the incarnation.

Cannot be used without the permission of the Goddess.

Isnt that a bad idea?

Well, maybe its a skill for some kind of event. There is no point in the incarnation if you can use it.

If Stellura-sama does not allow it, its basically locked.

And the biggest problem, the divine work.

Erasing Burning Chain

A chain that binds those who have wronged the Goddess.

The captured will die while experiencing endless interrogation and pain, and will not be released even after death.

The success rate depends on the difference in level and status between you and the target, or karma.

If successful, the target is bound and takes fire damage that ignores defence.

A death sentence. The target is unable to act, and will die if not rescued within three minutes.

Cannot be used without the permission of the Goddess.

It belongs to one of the incarnations of Yog-Sothoth. Aforgomon, the ruler of time.

That aside, it looks like another event flavour skill. I hope I wont have to use it.

So those are the new skills.

Im very much looking forward to Sphere of Shaking Flesh and Mad and Merciless.

Now that Ive found my equipment, I shall check that too. Even from the icons, the equipment looks quite different. The set name Protection has been changed to Grace.

Lets make a full-featured incarnation.

A part of my body separates from the mass and forms into a human shape. During the moulding process, the centre of the Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion has shifted to the new body.

Hmmmthe base of the body is completely human. And the equipment has changed a lot. I could describe it as something like a monks habit, which you might see in an anime. The reason I say that is because of the lines of the body

Isnt this more embarrassing than the dress? Its definitely less revealing than the dress. But this outfit is too tight in the chest. The dress bared a lot of skin at the top, but its fine, as it was designed that way. This is different.

Mmm.

[Equipment Armour] Habit of GraceRarity: ExGoQuality: S+Durability:

A garment given to the faithful, strongly influenced by the power of the god Stellura.

It appears to be very thin, but offers a very high level of protection.

It protects the wearer from enemies and relieves fatigue.

Made by the gods, the materials used are a mystery.

Appraisal Lv10

DEF MDEF

Applicable skill: Clothing

Appraisal Lv20

Increased HP recovery: Large

Increased MP recovery: Large

Oh, the applicable skill has changed from Light Armour to Clothing. The cloth, of cloth, leather, plate types.

A sleeveless, shoulder-baring habit. It goes directly to my neck, so it is very tight on my chest.

It is an apron type at the front, from the hip, though there is also a mini-skirt from the waist area. Because it is a mini, my thighs show. The front part covers down to my ankles.

The upper part is tight, the lower part is rather loose. I would have preferred both to be loose.

With the apron from the hips, yet the thighs visible.it is a bit of a maniac design. I feel a mysterious obsession. By the way, there is no change in the underwear equipment, so the knee-high socks are still in place.

The colour of the fabric seems to be different on the back and the front. The back is white, the front is black, and the edges are gold. A section of the black front is hollowed out and showing the white fabric inside, with the edge decorated in gold.

This is a rather common pattern in the design of clergymen.

[Equipment Armour] Blindfold of GraceRarity: ExGoQuality: S+Durability:

A blindfold of training, strongly influenced by the power of the god Stellura.

It seals off the wearers sight, but sharpens the other senses.

Made by the gods, the materials used are a mystery.

Enhancement of four senses: Large

The crown turned into a blindfold.

Apparently this blindfold strengthens all four senses except the eyes, and also strengthens spatial awareness. I cant take it off, so its cursed.

The eyes are covered by a cloth-like material, but how it stays on is a mystery. It doesnt reach the back, but disappears in the middle. Very strange. Fantasy.

[Equipment Armour] Detached Sleeves of GraceRarity: ExGoQuality: S+Durability:

A detached sleeve set, for a monastic habit, strongly influenced by the power of the god Stellura.

Makes the wearers arm movements lighter and more powerful.

Made by the gods, the materials used are a mystery.

Oh, theres an increase in strength. Its a modest enhancement.

They look like long sleeves from the upper arms..like those seen in anime. Separate sleeves. The cuffs are wide. Of course, the colour is the same as the habit.

[Equipment Armour] Half Boots of GraceRarity: ExGoQuality: S+Durability:

Half-boots, strongly influenced by the power of the god Stellura.

Blessed by fate, these boots support the wearers steps.

Made by the gods, the materials used are a mystery.

Oh, I get an increase in agility. I wonder if everything is enhanced now. Assuming the other enhancements havent disappeared.

Black boots that come up just past my ankles. Emphasis is placed on ease of walking and functionality.

In this world, shoes are all about functionality. Maybe because there are monsters.

[Equipment Armour] Cloak of GraceRarity: ExGoQuality: S+Durability:

The cloak of a priest, strongly influenced by the power of the god Stellura.

The cloak is blessed by time and space, and protects the wearer from the threats of nature.

Made by the gods, the materials used are a mystery.

A cloak, or cape, has been added. It is back equipment.

The cloak is fastened at the top of the chest, lightly draped over the shoulders, and then hangs down the back. It is quite long, reaching as far as my calf.

It is black with a gold border. The embroidery is also gold.

[Equipment Storage] Belt Pouch of GraceRarity: ExGoQuality: S+Durability:

A belt and waist pouch set, strongly influenced by the power of the god Stellura.

The belt pouch has received a blessing of time and space and has a very large capacity.

Made by the gods, the materials used are a mystery.

Very large capacity! Thats good. Not that Ive had any trouble lately.

Its nice to see the number of items I can store on the belt increased from 4 to 8. I dont know if I can hang that many in terms of space.

[Equipment Accessory] Armlet of GraceRarity: ExGoQuality: S+Durability:

Is attached to the back of the shoe.

Appraisal Lv20

Aerial aptitude: Large

Well, the bangle has been replaced by an armlet..an accessory that is worn on the upper arm.

And anklets have been added. These are worn on the back of the shoe, not the ankle.

With the addition of the anklet, one ring will have been removed. Hmm Ah, the dexterity ring has come off. Lets remove the strength ring and add the dexterity ring. There are 2 each of dexterity, intelligence and spirit, 3 each of celestite and hematite.

[Equipment Accessory] Ring of GraceRarity: ExGoQuality: S+Durability:

A simple ring, strongly influenced by the power of the god Stellura.

It gathers the wearers surplus magic to create an arc orb.

Made by the gods, the materials used are a mystery.

Appraisal Lv10

DEF: MDEF:

Appraisal Lv20

Grants the meditate effect by using an additional accessory slot.

[Meditate] is continuously in effect, with the disadvantages ignored.

The clear orb is now an arc orb.

I no longer use them though, and have been treating them as a crafting material, in place of magic stones

The other pieces of equipment have had their name changed, with the bonus increasing from medium to large. No, Athame has been changed to deal strength-dependent physical damage and spirit-dependent magical damage. Did it change to match the higher stat?

The Book of Eibon and the Silver Key are also unchanged. Well, these two are unrelated, arent they?

So, for the rebuildit should be enough to replace Light Armour with Clothing.

In addition, I should learn the Rope skill. It is derived from Whip. Id like it for the tentacles.

Oh, I havent checked the level 40 common race skills. I also havent checked the arts of the skills raised during the event.

Hmmm.It seems that I can learn Poison Fang and Poison Claw, which cause abnormal conditions, because of my race. I can skip these.

I can also ignore the skills that grant immunity to various conditions.

This one might be important.

Magical Erosion

Increases the chance of causing abnormal conditions.

I want this passive skill, so lets take it.

And the skills with new arts areBook, Spatial Magic and Necromantic Secrets.

[Quick Cast]

A passive skill that increases casting speed.

Many of the Magic Catalyst skills are passives. I dont want to be bothered by too many like [Corner Smite] though.

[Gravitas Manoeuvre]

Manipulates attraction and repulsion.

Limited to yourself or contact targets.

This one of Spatial Magic needs to be tested. It sounds like a lot of fun.

If you play with the attraction of another person, will various things fly towards that person? If I dont choose the right place for testing, I might get into trouble.

[Teleconductor]

Instructions can be sent telepathically, regardless of distance.

This is a nice feature of Necromantic Secrets.

Thats about it. All that is left is to test things by actually using them. However, it would be easier to see the difference if I return to the normal area.

For now, lets return to the public area of the Abyss. This is a place that has private areas for each tribe and a public area that includes the old castle.

I leave the main body behind and transfer as an incarnation.

Welcome, my compatriot.

King Woofwoof was waiting.

Should I go and give my greetings?

No, you dont need to because we already know. There are not many of us here.

Then I will give priority to checking my abilities.

Okay. If youre going to the surface, cut off your basic aura.

Understood. By the way, my occupations are Agent of the Goddess and Ruler of the Afterworld. Am I meant to continue as I was?

Agent of the Goddess is the same as ours, so no problem. It means you can still continue as Ruler of the Afterworld. Did you get an area in the Abyss? How was it there?

There was nothing there. It was like my own isolated space.

Hm? Did you get some troublesome ability?

Im not sure its an ability, but it seems I will keep expanding.I wonder about the size in the end.

I see. Then you can use your incarnation as it is.

Got it, thank you. Ill go and check things out in the usual place. Its easier to understand.

Mm, youre welcome here anytime.

Lets start with..Primula-sans test range. Id like to see the effect of blindness.

But first..

MhithrhaLv100

Attributes: ?Weakness: ?Resistance: ?

Class: Outer One

Order: Lower Dominant Race

Family: Stellura

Genus: Tindalos

Species: King of Tindalos

Condition: Normal

I see. The family is a religious one. King Woofwoof is also a member of the Stellura family!

Now that Ive reassured myself, lets go to the surface.

From the central square of the Starting Town to the firing range of Primula-sans shop. Oh, Moses again. Its nice and easy.

Walking has become fast! How wonderful! .Ive been too slow until now.

By the way, Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion is at level 40According to the previous calculation, that is a radius of 120 metres. Lets seehmmm doubled by blindness. So the current radius is 160 metres. Thats a diameter of 320. Indirect fire from longbows is within range. Not quite there yet for Japanese bows, though.

Though, the range is not being adjusted by the blindfold. Now, I wonder where the blindfold is making a difference. Is it to enhance the systems assistance? If so, it will be hard to tell.

Since there is no one else here, lets try the tentacles for a while.

Wrap and bind, bind and bite, tentacle thrusts, sweeping blows. and the Rope arts. I see.

The binding and the biting cause continuous damage. The tentacles themselves have a set appearance time. When the space closes, the tentacles leave. Its better than them being torn off.

Moreover, the icon of this is slightly different from that of a usual bind. The icon is..I see, a combination. Hmm? That means the resistance method is different from magic. Would it be a vitality or strength resistance?Amen. If I want to bind, you probably arent getting away.. No, it depends on the enemy.

The damage of the tentacle stabs and blows is modest, as expected. It is essentially bare-handed damage. In other words, Im just hitting stuff with the muscles of a lump of flesh.

Muscle Muscle.

And by the way, I can only bring out one. I dont know if you can call it skin texture, but unexpectedly I can change it to slippery, slimy, squishy or smooth. Ill set it to smooth as default. For harassment, slippery or slimy. Yes, its harassment.

Furthermore, while it can bite, its not like a snake. The end opens up four flaps, revealing lots of little teeth. Yeah, its like a worm you might see in movies.

The other skill is an automatic counterattack, so I cant test it. No, I think Lana would be fine with helping me.

Ohh yeah, this sphere, or bubble, orwell, lets call it a sphere. When incarnated, these spheres of various sizes are skin-coloured. It depends on the colour of my skin. However, in some cases, like soap bubbles, the colour is hard to describe because of the light.

It comes out from a random part of my body, and when it leaves my body, the sphere changes its shape like a soap bubble and drifts around. If I get a certain distance away, they return and blend into my bodyIt is strange that my body is not being gouged by this.

Maybe this is the cause of the Moses effect.

Well, its about time for dinner.

Ill go back to the palace, finish what I need to do, and then test things with Lana.

I leave Primula-sans shop to use the Silver Key to get to the palace Hmm? Oh, instantaneous transfer is possible! It really feels like an increase in level. The problem is how it looks.

I also like the effect of the Silver Key. Ill continue to use the Silver Key as the default.

Well, youve changed a lot..

Ive become an Outer One, but since I have retained the role of Ruler of the Afterworld, I will continue to manage it. I look forward to working with you.

It is the best we could hope for. Understood.

Ill be going back to the other side.

Yes. In the meantime, Ill notify everyone.

Please.

When I came to the palace, the maid was there, so I have explained the situation. She will pass it along to the Chancellor and everyone else.

Now, dinner.

Oh, Onee-chan reached level 40. Have you been to the Adventurers Union?

Mm? No, I havent.

There will be a small event!

Oh, is that so?

If youve completed enough requests, youll be raised to rank C, and treated as a full-fledged adventurer.

I see. I take requests when I go hunting, but has anything changed?

Hmmm I got a system message saying that the tutorial is over?

Tutorial..

For those who fight for a living, 40 is a veteran adventurer and you can go to any town you want. But its still not enough to explore uncharted lands and dungeons.

So does that mean..The regular routes are around 40 at the most?

Im in the middle of dashing to confirm that.

Ive been busy evolving and testing. Ill go there tomorrow. It seems that if the staff call you when you enter, then you have fulfilled the requirements. If they do not, you still have more requests to do.

By the way, Onee-chans board is energetic. I hear you evolved.

Im in the process of testing things. I evolved and the equipment has changed, so Ive been busy.

Oh! Im changing my gear too. Im going to use royal mana silk for a military look!

Finally changing. But royal mana silk. Thats a lot of money.

For us, its not so much the price as the availabilityTheres a waiting list.

Because it comes form the Magic Silkworms..

Opinions on sightings of Onee-chan are ranging from erotic to dangerous.

Erotic because of the blindfold and the anime nuns habit, I guess. The dangerous part.yeah.

Its definitely because of Sphere of Shaking Flesh.

Ill pull up my character on the connect board Wow, its a sphere! Hmmah, I can switch to incarnation. It also shows the effects. Ill show it to my sister.

..Eh!.but.what the heck is this? Its the kind of thing you see in a lot of fantasies where the top half of the body is tightly fitted. Its even worse because its so self-asserting. And blindfolded! And something dangerous is coming out.eep

Because your Onee-chan has become an Outer One. Its a skill effect.

Oh, so youve stopped being a living being.

A living being..It has a body, so is it a living being? Im not sure it has all the features youd expect. It does have something like cell division, but..what is it made of, and what does it use to grow in that space-like environment? Its a mythical creature, a mystery.

Hmm? Mythical creatures..are they classified as living beings?

Mmm? Lets not talk about this.

Right. Lets not.

Brilliant self-defence, abandon thought.

I log in after eating and taking a bath.

Lets go to Lana.

Lana.

Yes. Yes? Oh, you stopped being human, Sire.

I thought I stopped being human when I became an Immortal.

Thats true, too. So, what is it?

Please come with me to test some things.

Huh?

Ive learned a skill that allows me to react to my opponents melee attacks and automatically counterattack.

That sounds like fun. Lets get started.

Lana was happy to go along with the test, and it has turned out to be a good one.

First of all, the counterattack doesnt work if I evade. Its triggered by getting hit, defending or parrying.

And the probability is about 30%. The counterattack method, stab or bash, is probably random.

The separated sphere becomes a tentacle that is clearly larger than the original sphere. Outer Ones are mysterious.

The power of the counterattack depends on the opponent. It varied slightly as Lana changed her equipment..

In other words, it is a part of my (probably the incarnations) physical attack power (bare hand) + my opponents physical attack power (equipment included). It is unclear how much it is affected.

Furthermore, the tentacles counterattack speed is quite fast. Both the movement of the tentacles themselves, and their counterattack after being struck, are considerable. To put it in perspective, it is difficult for Lana to avoid, and she can barely prevent it.

From this, we can say that it is a low damage type. This type should have low defence and is easily evaded, but even Lana has difficulty in evading the counterattack. Amen.

So what does that mean? Theoretically, if I use reflect at long range and parry at short range, I will win eventuallyHey, arent I a tank? Im supposed to be a magic attacker, but how did I end up like this? I can even heal myself with Holy Magic now.

..A punching bag? The theory is that if I take hits while healing myself, Ill eventually win. It doesnt even matter if I hit them or not

Hmm, Sire has become that. The type where you can throw a single person into a battlefield. Of course, as a decoy a little away from the front line. But still too much of a pain to leave unattended.

Strange, where is this build going?

Sire is basically passive. Its all about reflect and counterattacks. But if theres an enemy on the battlefield, you attack. If they are alone, especially. But when they attack you, they die. And the people around, driven by fear, attack more, and the damage spreads. But if they do nothing, they will lose their generals head. Unless theres someone stronger than Sire, its a checkmate.

Oh, even if Im killed, it only kills the incarnation. It can be created again. Even if a body part is lost, it will grow back in 5 seconds.

Conclusion. Its the opponents fault for trying to fight an Outer One. Yeah!

Ill leave it at that for today. Time for bed.

More testing tomorrow!
