After Shun told the story about his past. I silently look up at the stars while sitting on the wooden floor of our house.I don’t know what to say to Shun, but I have to say it.“Shun is an idiot.”“That’s right, I’m an idiot and coward man…”Before he continues and lowers himself more. I immediately turned my body to him and knock on his head with my small fist.He’s looking at me with confusion for a moment and averted his face afterward.“That’s not my point. There is no way Shun would know a tragedy would happen or a dragon will suddenly appear. Everything was an accident. You were just 12 years old at that time. I guess it's normal for you to be scared. I’m already 14 years old but I’m still scared of bugs.”“Still, there’s still a probability of me saving them. I didn’t even move to attack the dragon. I’m not brave enough that’s why I’m still in this City. I’m a coward. I lack courage. And now I’m enjoying myself taking care of you while thinking you are Yue. Because you two loo
“See, I’m super strong.”I said as I flexed myself looking at Shun and Alicia with a big smile on my face.“That was insane… The demon tree that took the nutrients of the northern part of the forest fell… I saw it with my own two eyes but I still can’t believe it… The demon tree is already gone.”Alicia put her hand on her forehead.“Kaede is really strong… Are you an adventurer before you drifted into this city?”Shun said.“Well, something like that. I split an entire island one time and killed a dragon before.”I was referring to the battle island event and the first dungeon I took when I was starting as a player.Being a player in RPG and an adventurer seems to be similar.Honestly, I’m not sure if my damage will do this much. I’m only expecting a huge wedge when I swing my ax. I’m a bit surprised myself. Since they look shocked about it.I can’t help to be a little arrogant about it.In this world, I’m still unable to know my real stats. But I have a brief understanding of how th
The group of arrogant adventurers vanished without a trace in our sight. With the four knight guards witnessing my strength. They started to believe that I’m capable of cutting the demon tree.“That strength is unbelievable. I have never seen anything like that. I remember there is a story about it before. The adventurer wielding a sword and destined to purge evil… I remember it's a hero story. Could it be that you’re a hero?”“No, I’m just someone who happened to be strong. I just happened to have this strength. I guess it's some kind of blessing.”“Well, it's true there are people like you. But this is the first time I met one. We’re going to report the demon tree subjection quest to the guild. We’re going to write a testimony about it as evidence. You can visit the guild for more information on how your ability to gain the quest reward.”I have happy that I’m able to have the reward.I look at my hand and saw the sword. The shiny sword earlier was cracking and its blade was full of
Another day has come, and I brought Alicia to the lakeside area once again. One week has passed already since I took down the legendary demon tree. I exercise a lot and have my motor skills back. I’m still tripping sometimes but it's not severe anymore. “Kaede, what do you think about Lugg? His super hot right?” “I don’t know about that.” “Huh? What do you mean by you don’t know? You’re a girl, right? It's normal to think of being a couple with a man like him. He's so charming. His like a prince in fairy tales.” “I don’t want to think about those things at all.” “You’re boring.” “Really? I don’t really have a real interest in falling in love. I just don’t get those kinds of stuff.” “Then what do you think about Shun?” “Shun is like a big brother to me. I won’t see him as a romantic partner.” “Shun is already rejected huh? Let's not fool around. Why did you bring me here?” “I want to learn some scared arts… You’re studying in a school where they teach sacred arts right?” “If
Sounds of droplets of water crashing down on roofs were heard throughout the neighborhood. The cold breeze of wind and the melancholic atmosphere of the environment. Outside of Kaede’s house, it was raining cats and dogs. Unfortunately, for those planning to do their laundry. Today a big typhoon is smashing Tokyo. Kaede thinks it's no big deal since her area is not a flood-prone area. Also, she’s not a brokie who can’t afford a high-tech dryer. Typhoon passing by Tokyo is like a vacation for her. The typhoon was said to stay for three days. And now is Wednesday. Considering that Saturday and Sunday are day-off in school. Meaning, Kaede got herself a five-day vacation. She is back on her usual routine of watching anime and reading light novels and manga in her living room. Kaede is acting tough and normal, but everything is going on further from the truth. Kaede is never been okay. That is pretty much self-explanatory seeing her hollowed-looking pupils. Unlike before she doesn’t spea
The dessert worm dragon king. Spectating from afar, I could see that this monster is very popular among the players for the reason that this monster is brand new to the game. There is also an event where players will get rewarded just by challenging the boss monster. The drops are not half bad either. I was hoping to get some new weapon on my drop. The equipment shown in the reward wasn’t very good looking though. The armor looks like dirt. Probably, it's something to match the appearance of the desert worm. Wearing in the color of dirt is not really something for me. Having second thoughts, this armor is overpowered when the player is hiding in the sand. The color is hard to distinguish and there is also a plus stealth passive skill embedded in the armor.If I get it maybe, I’ll just sell it for more money. I have to focus on building my new account after all.My first account is incredibly powerful. But little by little. Things are gotten stale. I don’t have some creativity on how I
After my meeting with a weirdo guy named Ren, I go straight to the deep forest to experience grind. Bug monsters and low-level monsters immediately surrounded me. That’s normal because the sun is setting. Nighttime is the perfect time to grind because this is the time when the monsters are the most active. In addition, I spray a special item called “Honey” on my body to attract more monsters. Experience and double gold coupons are also distributed to a new account. Looking back on my first time in the game. I don’t get rewards like this. I guess this is one of the perks new players of the newly updated game get.Without breaking much sweat. I level up to level 10 and acquired some basic skills. My skill tree is mostly empty because I’m still in the middle of thinking about what kind of build this account would have.I already made an extreme STR build. Extreme DEF is the opposite but it's already the build melida has. Id won’t want to be a copycat of her. The extreme build is too sing
Form change. This monster does remind me of my former self. A can see my image of this monster. The powerful unbreakable, ultimate sword, Kaede. Hump… I started to think that I’m some kind of cheater before. For some reason, I felt energy pumping through my body. This feeling is not something I felt before. This is not something I felt before because I became super powerful without breaking a sweat.Could it be this feeling I’m feeling is the feeling of the hopeless? The feeling of knowing that the one in front of me is a hundred miles away from my current level. This fear. Yet, this fear also gives me some kind of excitement. I want to continue fighting.Ever since I woke up this morning my head was spinning. I felt like my life has no destination or goal. I don’t know what to do at all.I overthink and got stuck.But right now, my mind is clearer. The headache I’m having disappeared.My thought only consists of paths on how I’ll defeat this monster.“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”Anot
