Onee-chan, what will you do in the afternoon?

Probably do union requests and level my Skills for some time?

Ahhh, you were in Catacombs after all.

Yup, with just Zombies, my Skills will go up unbalanced.

What are you leveling?

Nnn combat Skills in general?

Onee-chan, you were using a one-handed sword right?

No, a rapier. I also took Light Magic and Dark Magic.

So it was a rapier and you took Light Magic, too.

I thought I wouldnt be able to use it, but it was among the Initial Skills.

Ahh that part is kind of a mystery.

Apparently Devil-types cant take light magic, and yet Undead can.

However, Undead appear to have low INT, so they arent too good at magic. I had no MP as a Zombie, right. They say that if you want magic, you should go Ghost-type.

Undead can take Dark Magic as a Monster Skill. The other ones can be taken as Initial Skills, but Light costs less points than the other four elements. Why the other four and not Light? Everyone is mystified by this.

Devil-types have Dark Magic as a Monster Skill from the start, but they cant take Light Magic at all. They can however take the other four elements at the average cost of 3 points.

It does seem like this mystery has something to do with gods. Stellura-sama is said to be governing over light and darkness.

Well, its miscellaneous knowledge. If others still dont know about it when I read books about it, Ill report this.

Since there are devils there must be angels as well, some people thinking so are frantically searching all over.

Ahhh, angels, yes. The final form being seraph?

I beeet with evolutions every 10 levels for 9 ranks of angels?

The problem is that they dont know how to become one.

Yup.

Well, sounds like Zombie-chan mes natural enemy, however...

Well yes. By the way Onee-chan, be careful of Light Magic okay?

It is times four, so I will...

No, I mean when you are using it too.

Huh?

Light Burstis a spell activating in a circle with the caster as the center. Apparently it affects Undead who use it...

Seriously?

...I dont feel like I could survive my own firepower.

Although my equipment raises my Magic Defense, there is no way Im surviving 4 is there?

Where are you hunting?

Eastern forest.

Eh, youre solo, right?

Of course. I just arrived in town yesterday so I have no friends yet.

"...going well?

As far as efficiency goes not really? Theres too few enemies. When I beat Bears and finish the extermination quest, maybe I should go South where apparently theres lots of enemies?

So you have no problem beating them...

They are a bit more mobile High Zombies? Living Dead are nastier than that.

Im more surprised youre beating Living Dead yknow?

I prepare aLight Ballon the tip of the weapon and stab from behind, they die.

Ahhh four times light and a surprise attack bonus...

Its an example of a too successful tactic.

However, the only Skills that will go up with that are Sword and Light Magic.

Above all, my life in Catacombs was long, so Id rather avoid them for some time.

That place is purely for the sake of gaining Race experience, not one to have fun in.

Oh, right.

I forgot to tell my little sister the most important thing.

By the way, I heard from a unions member that there are people with bad attitudes?

Hm? Ohh there are~...

I also heard theres the talk of banning them from entering stores.

Eh, banning from entering?

Yup banning from entering. Apparently doors at stores are usually magic tools. When you get banned, you cant enter the store and you get automatically kicked out if youre already inside.

A ban from an NPC store, of all things...

It's the player's fault for deciding this game is the same as those before. Since you can talk with them like this, its better to treat them as humans like the official site suggests.

Hmm-mm...

By the way, I recommended him to ban them. Those stores were in the town before we appeared, there should be no problem if Outsiders who werent here before, are banned.

Thats true. You reap what you sow, huh. But depending on the scale, Outsiders as a whole can get banned Should I write about it on BBS?

Dumbasses getting banned from entering happens in real life as well, it doesnt matter much, does it?

Then lets just mention this to acquaintances...

If anything, it would be a bigger problem for us if NPCs eventually got tired of enduring it and banned Outsiders as a whole. Its better if they ban singular Outsiders before that happens.

With the solution decided, we cleaned the dishes and logged into the game together.

When I logged in, I was in the Eastern forests safety area.

According to information from Akina, ahead of the safety area the spawn numbers increase, so depending on how much they increase, maybe Ill seclude myself here?

If theres few, then South?

The Eastern materials are most expensive, and the mobs are the highest level in the Starting Town surroundings. If possible, Id like to earn money.

You have fulfilled specific requirements and acquired Title: Calm Princess".

You have fulfilled specific requirements and acquired Title: Elegant Princess".

Title: Calm Princess" and Title: Elegant Princess" have been combined.

Oh my?

Calm Princess

A title given to a quiet princess.

Improves the impression others have of you.

Elegant Princess

A title given to an elegant princess.

Improves the impression given to royalty and nobles, but can make commoners be wary of you.

Elegant and Calm Princess

A title given to a princess who is both elegant and calm.

Improves the impression given to others and makes them less wary of you.

I see, so it has that type of effect.

This probably means it will be easier for me to raise likability with NPCs.

The condition for the calm one is For three real days dont make any more sound than necessary.

The condition for the elegant one is For three real days maintain your posture and dont run at all.

When they combined, their effects joined together and seem to have improved.

Three days must be login time. Otherwise I would have received it earlier.

Which means that I passed over 72 hours of game time. Mmgrr Im really into it, arent I?

Well, it doesnt hinder my daily life, so there is no problem.

Still, isnt this kinda that? Three days is one thing, but isnt dont run a savage requirement? Honestly speaking, when I was a Zombie it was more of I cant run, and even now I dont feel like running in a dress my situation is quite the rare case...

Well, lets go.

I left the safety area and entered further into the back of the forest.

As I search with Sensing, I gather all materials that appear in my field of vision.

Brown BearLv17Active

Doesnt show mercy to enemies that enter his territory.

Will eat you even if you pretend to be dead, so dont.

Element: Weakness: Durabiltiy:

Genus: AnimalFamily: Bear

State: Normal

There he is. Finally.

...So you get eaten, hm? Well, of course he would eat fresh meat if some dropped.

According to Akina, Mr. Bear only appears in the back of the forest.

His weakness is neck and chest, which are pretty normal for living beings and also his limbs.

Lets do a preemptive attack as usual.

I want to raise my dark a little more, soDark Ballit is.

GGGRRAAAA!

Mr. Bear, who gets hit by magic, stands on his rear legs and roars at me.

He isnt cartoonized or anything, so the real-looking bear has quite some impact.

Wait, whoa...

He got on four legs and dashed at full speed before swinging his right arm at me.

I could only receive it from the front, and I was knocked back along with a loud sound.

Its the first time since Living Dead that my guard was broken. He sure has some Attack Power doesnt he?

As I slid back, the Bear followed up with an attack using its right arm, which I parry before slashing at him to finish him off.

Defense reached level 10. Gained 1 Skill Point.

Defenses ArtDefense Sensewas acquired.

Parry reached level 10. Gained 1 Skill Point.

Parrys ArtParry Sensewas acquired.

I stab the Disassembly Knife into him and check drops.

[Ingredient] Brown Bears MeatRarity: NoQuality: C

Meat that is considered a treat. Mostly used for a stews.

Kumanabe, isnt it? This time its three pieces of meat. Its decided either by the enemy's size, or maybe the drop range is decided by the size well, I will know when I beat more.

Still, that leap had some serious attack power.

Maybe it will be easier to fight in close combat from the start, without luring them in with magic?

I lose about 10%, so I will heal it up though.

Umm, Arts I learned are passive ones that make it easier for me to defend and parry, huh.

In other words, Skills that give positive adjustment.

The sound when I defended was fairly loud.

Im glad I received that title before this.

How much sound specifically is the limit, I wonder? Over those two weeks, I only spoke with an NPC and through Whisper with Akina. I didnt talk with anyone else.

As for combat, I only slashed zombie-chans with a sword.

Yup, certainly I was fairly quiet. I mean, it was an environment devoid of people.

In regards to the princess part, it must be influenced by my race, nothing to add there.

Oh my, Sensing reacted.

Lets continue the hunt.

Your Race level has increased.

Dark Magic reached level 10. Gained "1" Skill Point.

Dark MagicsDark Arrowwas acquired.

Yup.

I beat three bears, lets go back to report for now.

In regards to meat, its most likely that the drop range is decided by size is the most likely possibility. Mr. Rabbit always gives 1 after all.

Certainly there were many enemies in the back. If this is the case, it might be good to go back and forth between here and the Adventurers Union it is time-consuming however. My movement speed is slow.

Well, lets go back for now.

I cut the notification for Skills that dont possess Arts, but they are slowly going up. Its about time I touch on crafting Skills...

Now, I finally reach the town. My movement speed looks to be the bottleneck after all.

I saw a carriage, so maybe I should think of buying one?

Or maybe buy just a horse I wonder if theres a Riding Skill? Its difficult to think there wouldnt be one. Akina said there are horse players out there.

It seems it would be difficult to get a horse this early in the game.

Heck, I only have 1000 on me. Not happening.

For now, lets go to town...hm?

Wow...t-thats its one of races reigning at the top of the unpopular ranking...

THE Sexy Radish!1

...Its being gnawed on by rabbits.

Seems to be harsher than being a zombie, isnt it? At least in regards to enmity from animals.

Well, appearance-wise and in regards to mental health, my case was harsher...

By the way, Sexy Radishes appearance is that of a Japanese Radish.

A radish with the tip which is split into two which acts as legs and hands that are two small protuberances. Also, it has leaves on its head.

Its really a moving radish. So surreal I dont hate it, though.

I actually hesitated between picking a Zombie or that.

That must be its Monster Skill, Wood Magic?

The Rabbit whose movements stopped because it started gnawing on the radish, has been entangled by plants and had its movements stopped, then was repeatedly kicked by those short legs. It was a really fun-to-look-at tactic.

Looks like Rabbits AI changes when facing a Sexy Radish. It doesnt headbutt, instead gnawing on it. None of them run away, they all come to gnaw on it. ...It does look like a radish, after all.

Looks like there is no need for it to be a carrot.

Thanks to Wood Magic and being gnawed on, the decreased HP and MP is recovered through the Monster Skill Photosynthesis and the sun. Its a race thats like the opposite of us.

Looks like there is no need to help out, so lets deal with my own matters.

We go out of our way to select Inhumans, times like that are really fun, arent they?

As two rare Inhumans, there should be an opportunity for us to talk someday.

Alright, I just arrived at the town so theres lots of things I would like to do.

For now, after fighting some a simple thought came to my mind - that this hair length is a bit problematic. Lets tie the end with a ribbon. It doesnt seem like there would be a hair tie here.

There should be some in a general store, right?

Whats left is to report to the Adventurers Union and deal with drops but that one is a problem.

The materials at the union looked to be twice as expensive, though I dont know the actual prices It's a staple that trade between players is more profitable.

Issue is that I dont know who to sell it to.

Should I open a stall? I might open a stall and touch some crafting in the meanwhile...

Well, for now lets buy some ribbons. Lets come back to this topic afterwards.

I dont think ribbons will cost more than 1000.

Hello.

Oh, its you.

Do you have maybe something I could tie my hair with?

Hmm I have only ribbons and kanzashi, mm?

You have kanzashi? Well, I dont mind a ribbon.

50 each. Choose a color.

Please give me two blue ones.

Here you go.

I leave Grannys store and return to the main street.

Next is the union nearby. Lets go to report.

About when the Adventurers Union came into my sight, at the entrance I found a familiar person.

Oh, she did a double-take my way.

Its a girl with bluish-silver hair, in leather armor, carrying a halberd.

Well, my little sister.

Its ONEE-CHAAAN!

...Shes fast, high AGI, huh.

I catch Akina who charges straight my way while screaming lightly.

Her clinging to me tightly and pushing her face into my cleavage, is her usual behavior.

Haaa, cant get enough of this!

Dont talk while clinging to me.

You feel a little cold, Onee-chan...

Looks like it. And I feel you are strangely warm.

Well, I am an Immortal, so my body heat must be low. Still better than being completely cold, I guess?

If Im moving due to some magic, then there is no reason to have body heat...

Youre just in time. Could you tie my hair?

Okaay. Where do I tie it?

Around waist length?

I passed a single ribbon to her and had her tie my hair.

Mmmgrr this sword is so cool...

Isnt it?

But be careful for PKs, okay? Its not recommended, but there are people with strange tastes.

Even if Im PKd, this equipment is exclusive to me and wont drop.

Ah, is that so.

Yup, aiming for my equipment is a complete waste of time. By the way, do you maybe know a crafter that would buy leather from me?

Yeah, I intended to introduce you in the first place, want to go now?

Can I report extermination requests first?

Sure~.

Then wait here a moment.

I leave my little sister and head to the union to report quests completion.

Rabbits, Wolf, Deer, Boar and Bear requests resulted in a total reward of 3300.

200, 400, 800, 900 and 1000 respectively.

One trip back and forth turns into a beginners crafter kit, I guess its not too bad?

If Im going there anyway, I might as well take new ones before leaving the union.

There were a fair amount of enemies in the back.

Made you wait.

Nn, he says that hes in his usual spot, so lets go South. Well, its close.

I followed Akina in the direction I havent been to before to the area in the Southeast, a little detached from the main street.

The person Im going to meet is probably a top smith. A famous one.

I say probably, because nothing is certain in online games.

Old man!

Hey, youre here Girlie!

This is my Onee-chan so take care of her!

".........Is that your setting?

No, shes a real one.

Oh, from back then.

Why from back then?

More importantly, should I stop her from calling him old man?

Most beta players know that I received a main unit and game set.

Ohh, I see thats why from back then. I am Anastasia, nice to meet you.

Yes, nice to meet you too. Im called Ertz. Usually I RP as a cordial dwarf, please take care of me.

Ohh, I see.

Then calling him old man isnt a problem.

So, Onee-chans character name is Anastasia you sure went all-in...

Yup, I thought no one would realize.

Ahhh certainly. Normally no one would. By the way, Im Akirina!

So you mixed yours.

Heck, youre sisters yet you learn your character names just now?

Because Onee-chan selected Inhuman race, we met in the game for the first time just a moment ago...

Eh she looks like a normal human to me?

Despite the looks, Im an Immortal-type thats being burned by Mr. Sun as we speak.

Heeeh! Seriously?! Makes me wanna introduce you to them.

Them?

Yeah, a pair of Immortal players from beta. They were Spectral and bone-types, they continue those for official release too. They are fairly famous - they stand out.

I see, I did a special evolution, but Im a Zombie-type.

Ho-hooh...

Mmm, then Im off to hunt. I leave Onee-chan to you!

Sure. Hurry up and open the North

Cant do Golem yet!

While saying so, Akina leaves in a run.

By the way, my name is Tsukishiro Kotone. My little sister is Tsukishiro Akina.

The meaning behind went all-in and mixed is because we both have two names.

Our mother is a Japanese, but our father isnt. We have one name for use in Japan, and one for using overseas.

My other name is Anastasia, and my little sister is Katrina.

While I used mine as is, she mixed Akina and Katrina to make Akirina.

I think Anastasia is a fairly major name when it comes to ingame characters, which is why I thought no one would realize. Moreover, I dont use this name in Japan so the only ones who know it are our family and long time friends.

And even when I am called by it, its usually Tasha or Stasha, so being called Anastasia is actually quite fresh. I myself was born and raised in Japan, after all.

During summer break we sometimes go to our fathers side grandparents home, so I can speak English.

Well, in any case, Ertz-san.

He is a male Dwarf. He has dark red hair and orange eyes. And of course - a beard.

The North had mines, right?

Mhm. The boss - Golem isnt beat yet, yknow. Unless someone beats those bosses, its going to continue being harsh on us crafters. Its hell dammit!

When an area-unlocking boss is beaten by someone once, they become weaker from that point onwards. In exchange however, the people who beat them first get a bonus. Is what was written on the website.

Since no boss was beat yet, the details of the bonus arent known yet.

Rina muttered something that she cant get Iron unless the North is opened.

I want to mutter too. I cant do anything without materials.

I look at the stall next to him.

[Equipment - Weapon] Bronze EstocRarity: NoQuality: B-Durability: 120

A slender sword for beginners, made out of bronze.

It has no blade so it can only be used for stabbing.

It was carefully-made, so its effectiveness is higher.

Creator: Ertz

Identification Lv10

ATK

Attack Type: Thrust

Applicable Skills: Rapier

Identification Lv20

Critical Strike Chance Bonus: Tiny

Critical Strike Damage Bonus: Tiny

Ohhh the quality is B-. Its my first time seeing something above C. My Extra Equipment doesnt count. And it looks like those two critical strike effects are a normal thing for slender swords?

Estoc was sharp only on the point and had no blade, so it was completely thrust-specialized.

When I naturally compared the two, a reverse triangle was displayed next to ATK.

For now, a friend invitation and the list.

The list was a function for making trade simpler.

It was a function mainly used by crafters as it made purchasing materials simple.

Material names and prices are lined up on the list, both things you receive and things you give are displayed along with prices.

When the player who made a list is nearby, you can trade through the list, allowing you to put all items on the list into the trade with one button, or select the items you put in by hand.

And the buying side also can put the payment with one button, which is why its very useful.

As expected, the list has to be updated manually, but the receiver of the list has the price changes reflected in real time.

Its handy because there is no need to move the items to slots by hand.

Umm, looks like the only material that can be used by smith is Boar Leather.

What are Deer Horns used for?

That I think it was for Handicrafts accessories?

Ahh, I see. Then I would like to sell the Boar Leather.

Sure, Eastern materials are always welcome.

Three Boar Leathers sold for 2000 each, turning into 6000. Thats sweet.

Thinking of my earnings so far, this was quite expensive, but it must mean there is just that much of a demand. If the crafter himself says its fine, then I have nothing to say.

He will craft using it and sell, and the investment will return itself. Thats what crafters do.

Oh and, now that I earned money...

Do smiths deal with Disassembling Knives?

Yeah, we can make them. But at this point they are not much different from the NPC one so we dont make them.

Which means, you will start making them later.

Probably will. I did make one to check before. They do have durability so bring it to me before it breaks. Its cheaper to repair one.

Now that you mention it. I understand. Do you have a pickaxe?

Of course

[Tool] Bronze PickaxeRarity: NoQuality: B-Durability: 120

A tool for mining made with bronze.

Its carefully made so it will be easier to use and more durable.

Creator: Ertz

Thatd be 1500.

Then one for now.

Sure, thanks for the purchase. Are you going to do smithing?

No, Im thinking of mining some if I stumble upon a mining point.

If youre selling, then sell to me! I really want regular customers. By the way, how are you doing with combat? If you can get Boar Leather then Id like to ask for more.

Oh yes, I dont mind. I intend to go there again, so I will bring some back.

Then please do. If you have some other materials you want to sell, I can introduce you to some crafters?

I intend to sell items that arent food ingredients or alchemy materials but the only place Ive been so far is the Eastern forest, so I dont really have much to sell.

So you have Cooking and Alchemy?

I do Cooking in real life. And I took Alchemy, because fantasy.

I see. Both of them are treated as hobby Skills but well, as long as youre havin fun. And at this point we dont even know how they will derive.

Yes. At that time I will decide by the mood on what to do.

Thats fine. Oh, and depending on taste I think there will be people who buy food. Field rations might be easy to get, but theyre quite nasty...

The demand isnt big enough for players to make food for themselves, but they would buy if there was some to buy, you mean.

Yeah. Theres the issue of Skill Points, and field rations aint too expensive. And so, no one picks Cooking. But well, there are folks who want to make a cooking guild!

In this game its possible to make teams called guilds.

The reason the Adventurers Union is called union and not guild, is because you can form a team called guild at the union is what was written.

I wonder if there are guild quests from the union for guilds to do?

There is also a housing system called Guild House. Of course, housing is not limited to guilds and a single person can possess their own home as well. As long as they have money, that is.

I want one someday I guess? I want one at least to the point of thinking so. Honestly, I would probably only use it as a base for crafting activities, but just how much will crafting facilities for housing cost?

As I sold materials and spoke with Ertz, the sky started to dye red.

Mmh, evening came feels like theyll crawl out soon.

They?

The two Immortals from beta.

Ohh, certainly sunlight damage just decreased. The sensation of pain has weakened.

"...You sure have it hard.

Just by being hit by sunlight we get to raise our automatic recovery, so its not such a bad thing.

Ahhh, they also said so. That during the day they get to raise their automatic recovery, so its not bad in itself...

Leveling it the normal way is a pain, after all. If you get to the point where you can stay outside, it will go up by itself Oh, it went up.

Automatic recovery heals a set amount every second, if Im not wrong?

We cant use potions, so in exchange we get automatic recovery as a Monster Skill.

As to which one is better, both of them have their pros.

You have no need to buy consumables such as potions, but its difficult to quickly recover from large damage.

On the other hand, as long as you arent dealt a large amount of damage all at once, your HP continues to remain full.

There is no need to go to the town to buy potions when they run out.

Its overwhelmingly strong against weaker enemies, but against higher level enemies who deal big hits there is a need to plan your combat well.

It was a good opportunity, so I examine Ertz-sans weapons as we talk, when suddenly I start hearing the sound of metal rubbing against one another and a chattering sound.

Hey, you guys!

Hey heey, Ertz.

Did you finish my equipment?

Yeah, I thought youd come and was waiting.

A Skeleton person holding a staff and a Living Armor came.

Living Armor is a moving armor. Is the inside empty?

The Skeleton person was bones, the type commonly seen in fantasy, but the color of his bones were red. Must be a higher race of a Skeleton.

This is the bastard sword you told me to make.

Lets see...

After checking his surroundings, the Living Armor started swinging the sword.

Yup, feels nice.

Great, the shield is this.

Hmm yeah, no problem it seems.

A Living Armor with a bastard sword and a tower shield.

Going completely tank, arent we? Still, hes quite cool.

Normally a full plate is too heavy in this game so one cant move well while wearing one but a Living Armor is a plate armor in itself so it doesnt matter to them. And they get their armor for free.

So guys, theres someone Id like to introduce to you.

To us?

Yeah, this Miss here. Shes the onee-chan from back then.

Good evening.

OHHHH...

Might as well, so I followed the motion assist and did a curtsy greeting.

Eh, you are a player, right?

Onee-chan from back then, you mean ahhh, Akirina-sans?

Uh-huh. Several moments ago she brought her here and went to hunt.

I see. My name is Alfreet. As you can see, a Living Armor tank.

Im Honehone~. As you can see, a mage-type Skeleton!

Im Anastasia. Despite my looks, I am a Zombie-type.

Seriously?!

Yes.

Nnnn it should be faster to ask imouto.

Rina, you have time?

Suure, what is it?

I just met Alfreet-san and Honehone-san but, can I trust these three?

Alf-san, Ske-san and old man are no problem. Their lips are tight. Good people.

I see, got it.

If you want to talk secrets, then make party and use party chat, or theres no meaning~.

Okay, Ill do that.

Rather than decide alone when I just met them, its best to ask my little sister who knows them for much longer.

I got my little sisters recommendation, so I will show you part of my status.

Oh, seriously?

Is that okay?

Well, Ill just show the race part.

I invited Aflreet-san, Honehone-san and Ertz-san to party.

Then I turn only the upper part of the status visible to the party there.

Name: Anastasia

Race: Immortal PrincessWomanLv11

Element: Dark

Genus: High Immortal

Family: Royal Zombie

High Immortal?!

Royal Zombie makes me lol.

This, its a special evolution isnt it? Was it okay to show this?

I heard from my sister that you three are discreet. Also, its possible that we will get along for a long time.

Hm? Hey, Alf, arent we getting some buffs?

Eh? Thats true, what is this mark?

I got one as well, a leadership-type?

It is indeed. My Monster Skills must be raising your stats.

So its a Monster Skill!

Ah, maybe its because its a princess race?

Makes sense~. Speaking of royalty, they are the higher tier of leadership-types.

Umm its these two.

Immortal Royalty

Immortals in the party receive a bonus to stats based on the Skill level.

The damage received from Immortal enemies is decreased based on the Skill level.

Royal Authority

When the leader, group members have all stats increased.

The increase rate changes based on the Skill level and the party's scale.

I see, without doubt the authority is a high-tier leadership-type Skill.

Both look tied to the race~.

A dedicated one for Immortals, huh. Honestly speaking, well probably be the only ones benefiting from it?

Immortal-types are unpopular after all...

Rather, among Inhumans, Devil-types and fluffy-types are just too popular.

Everyone, do you know about Extra Races?

What is that?!

So they dont know after all.

It was newly added to my help, so its not known this early into the game.

Rather than teach them, it should be faster to show them the help window.

Seriously?!

Hooh, so there was such a thing...

I-I seriously wanna know!

No breaking taboos you two.

Ngghhh!

Rather, its impossible to share the method I used.

Really?

My Immortal Princess is limited to me. The item for unlocking the evolution can no longer be acquired. And its impossible for a Living Armor to go the princess route in the first place. And so, you need to search for a different one.

It says that There is a fair amount of them, after all.

Yes. As for me, at my race start in the Catacombs, I found a hidden room with a key item. If you two know the position of your racial start, then I believe it would be a good idea to investigate them. Although, I cant guarantee there is anything in there.

Still, is it really okay to give us such important information?

I became one by chance, so I dont mind. I wont be disadvantaged, so I have no reason to panic.

I see, cause theres no possibility of overlapping, is there.

Yes. Which is why Im telling you, fellow Inhumans and my little sisters acquaintances, as well as Immortal comrades.

Alright, lets search.

Yup, lets go search.

Oh and, there is a possibility there might be Extra Equipment just like this equipment of mine, so make sure to search every nook and cranny.

I was curious about it, so theres even Extra Equipment, huh?

It has a really wide range of effects and abilities, but the fact they do not break or drop is very reassuring.

Lets show them Extra Equipments help.

Hmm, I see. Well, it doesnt seem like there would be too many of these, so I wont go out of business.

I have nothing else to tell you, but when I acquired the key, my bodys control was taken away from me, so it might be similar in other cases.

Hm-mm...

Well, for now a friend invitation Lets get along.

Take care of us! Our Princess!

Please take care of me.

Alright, with this, information should spread. They seem to be famous, so lets have the two put it on the BBS once they find their own. Dealing with that would be troublesome.

I guess its about time I went to hunt some, hm?

Ill be off to look right away.

Yup, me too.

I will go East to hunt some.

Sure!

After disbanding the party I leave Ertz-sans stall, then after finishing Rabbit and Wolf exterminations I enter the forest.

The evening changed into night and moonlight became the only source of light, but it did not affect me since I possess night vision.

Night vision possessed by Immortals and the Nightvision Skill apparently are different in specs, with the Immortals one being far superior. They are residents of the night after all.

Lets wander the Eastern forest today until I go to sleep.

For dinner I can always log out in a Safe Zone.

The only thing I need from the town is to report the quest in the union and update it. But its much more profitable to gather and sell materials rather than go back and forth every time I beat a few animals.

Well then, lets hunt until sleep time.

If I only hunt, it will become repetitive firepower-based work, so now that I finally get to move properly unlike when I was a Zombie lets forget about preemptive attack with magic and try fighting in close combat alone.

But I do want to raise my magic as well, so I guess I will use it about half of the time.

Lets research footwork and various other things to find the best way to fight. Its a full dive game, so it will be more interesting this way.

Looks like its hard to receive a Boars or Bears charge from the front.

On the contrary, parrying them is extremely simple. Must be caused by the difference in stats.

While at it, lets examine the Aura of Darkness too.

It seems to receive a roll upon touch, and then additional rolls as long as it remains in contact. Sounds like erosion?

There are effects of Poison, Curse and Weakness. If I touch anywhere on the enemy, the aura clings to them and has a certain probability to put a status ailment on them.

However, just by touching the enemy its hard to poison them, and its easier when I cut them with the sword. Most likely it acts like an infection, it enters through the wounds.

Poison is the staple continuous damage one.

Curse decreases the effect of recovery items.

Weakness lowers all stats.

All of them are troublesome effects.

Just by protecting myself from close combat attacks the aura counts it as contact, so if the opponent in PvP eventually gets Weakness (6), all that is left to do is to deal the finishing blow.

I only have to attack with magic while defending myself?

For single attacks itsMagic Parryand for AoE magic its theMagic Guardthat works better.

Aura of Darknesss Status Ailment Intensity seems to have become 2.

These are still Initial Skills and basic Skills, so they go up quickly. How sweet.

I did not meet anyone when I was hunting, so I do light core training in the forests Safe Zone.

And then I log out and do it in real, too. And good night.
