Falling to the ground the player's body was left. In this event, there is a rule that a party member can revive their team member. If there is no player who appeared to revive her for an hour. The body will disappear in light particles and the player lost the event.Kaede wipes the sweat on her forehead and then made a exhale.At the last moment, she is not fast enough to pull her sword from the inventory. There is a great chance that she’s in a dead-like state.Currently, they are walking between the forest area and the river area.“That was very close… I thought I was a goner.”“Same with me… Kaede is there a place you specifically wanted to go to? There are a lot of dungeons. I have a hard time picking. Most of these boss monsters are event-exclusive monsters and there is no date on them.”“They giving players huge points… That means they probably are very strong, right?”“Well, that makes sense.”Yuki squatted and reveal her back to Kaede. She did this assuming that Kaede will rid
After accepting their new support player. Kaede her party engages in a boss battle. Battling a boss-type dinosaur monster. Everyone did their best. “Sheild protection, Speed booster, Damage multiplier!” Chanting three skills consecutively. Clover is doing her best to prove her worth to Yuki. Yuki at that time started to see further potential for them by having her at their party. Kaede and Yuki charge toward the dinosaur head-on and sly it with their strength. The points were added to them. They are battling monster while they're in the way. After battling for a long day. Kaede’s party manage to accumulate 5,400 points. It’s still nothing to compare to the top player whose points were 21,230 points. Amber is not just a top player for the show. The night strikes and they feel tired. Their SP was low and they need to have rest. The team started to look for a perfect place to rest and they found a small cave. It's hard to notice because of the tall grass. Kaede, Yuki, and Clover wal
“Wake up Kaede! Wake up!”Clover who guarding Kaede while she was sleeping. Immediately run and shake Kaede whose enjoying her time taking a nap.Opening her eyelids. Kaede was still half asleep and rubbed her eyes.“What’s the matter? I’m still sleepy.”“It’s not the time for that. Presence from the entrance is coming inside this cave.”Kaede woke up and immediately turned off the light of the candle by blowing on it. They then run and hide in the deep part of the cave. Instead of her new white armor. Kaede wears her usual black robe knight armor and on her hand is her moon piercer.Using detection skills. Clover was able to detect the player walking inside. There are about twelve of them in total. Kaede and Clover take a peek at them to see their appearance.All of the adventurers are wearing a full set of armor and they look like a complete party. There were three swordsmen, two archmages, two support mages, an assassin, two marksmen, and a great shield user.“I know Kaede is power
“Two of you hold tightly! Extreme speed!”Kaede and Clover hold Yuki’s body. Yuki goes all out and kicks the ground. Their speed was like that of a rocket.Dashing in a straight line until the three fell into the cliff and dive into the river.The river stream washed them away far from the unbreakable monster. The monster failed to detect Kaede’s party and move to another location.With that Kaede’s party was saved from the great danger. If the monster happened to chase them down and got defeated. The whole team will immediately be bailed out in the event.Bailing out the event is something that Yuki will never gonna let to happened. To win this event, Yuki wants to give her all.“I think we got far enough… Kaede are you okay?”“Yeah… I’m sorry I have to hold to you.”Kaede doesn’t have any swimming ability in real life or in-game. Her holding to someone is something Yuki already expected. While at it Yuki thought about why Kaede is not learning how to swim.Kaede turned her eyes to C
The option of running away from the top player is not crossing their minds. Even if they manage to run away. Yuki and Kade will definitely feel bad if they let the top player get away from them. Instead of thinking of this scenario as dangerous. Kaede’s party decided to take all the risks. If someone really wanted to win. Someone needs to take the risk. “Yuki I can only use defence buster five more four more times.” “I see, it has its limitations too. We need to pull our courage and fight.” Kaede and Yuki made the first move and charged in both great shield users instead of Amber. Amber immediately noticed Kaede and Yuki's strategy of taking out her shields and support first. Amber released flames from her palm and knocks back Kaede and Yuki before they both reach the great shield user. “Flame arrow!” Five flaming arrows were fired at Yuki. Yuki leaps and dodges the arrows immediately. Yuki then gets dirt from the ground and splashes with Nell. While Nell was distracted. Yuki
From the distance where the sniper player hides. Another player came to confront her.“Rabbit you should stop messing with her now…”The one talking was the player avatar of Tiger. He came to the battlefield to control a game developer who sneaks out and joins the battle event.“Eh? It’s just getting fun with my sniper. Well, we’re not really included in this event.”“Did you use your bullet to help Kaede survive that attack?”“There's no way… I’ll be doing that in fact. I just attack her targeting her head. I’m testing how the knowledge of Evasion works.”Normally, Knowledge of Evasion has a 40% activating rate especially in a dire situation. But Kaede as a player is triggering it like 60% to 80% of all time. Confirming that Kaede indeed has the luck of a devil.The rabbit or rather the sniper player in disguise. Thinking about it thoroughly, first, they had a meeting and decided to nerf Kaede’s main skills. Especially the bizarre eater that eats mostly of players in the battle even
Players checking the leaderboard were surprised by what they saw. The name of the top player team was replaced with Kaede’s team members.There are only a few hours left before the hunting event ended. And most of the players participating in the event know that Amber will surely win the event.But Kaede once proves that she is not an ordinary player in the game.With their location shown on the event island map. Kaede, Yuki, and Clover have no choice but to face them and protect their number one spot until the end.“The sword demon defeated the flame priestess. That’s an insane feat for a low-level player like her. Still, I can't say that she is cheating.”Dark said while he is looking at the leaderboard. Behind him was player Blake. Blake was dejected and he can’t even decide if his team is going to attack Kaede’s team.“What are we going to do, Blake?”“It’s hard we already reach the top ten team. This will be okay for now. We don’t know what kind of skill Kaede has on her sleeves.
“W-Were attending the same school!”Amber's loud voice echoed in the library. Students whose doing their best to study turned her glare on Amber.Her face turned red like a tomato and she behaves back in her seat.“Hello…”“Are you here to study for a retake?”“Retake? There is no way we’re taking a retake. Don’t tell me that's the reason why you're both in the library.”Kaede and Yuki nodded in response.Kaede scratches the back of her head and made e gleaming smile.“Well, we became addicted to playing. Also, the hunting event makes my mind focus on the game. I forgot the lessons. But now I do find my dream. My dream is to become a NEET and play games all day.”Amber after hearing about Kaede’s life ambition was life. She can't help but to feel skeptic.“I can’t believe I lost to this idiot.”Amber muttered.“Eh? Is being NEET bad? I mean many streamers online are just playing games all day. Are they considered a NEET?”Hearing Kaede’s argument. Amber got second thoughts about that
Night after school hours, I go straight to Tokyo Metropolitan Hospital to visit Yunami. I send my phone number to Yunami online and using my email she can message me if she is awake. Knowing that he is awake for the tonight, I rushed to rent a cab to see her and make an apology. What I did to her and her mother last time must’ve upset both of them. I should explain myself properly. Lying is the only way. I can’t definitely tell them that my heart is broken as the reason why I rushed back home to cry.At this rate, I became a blunt liar.I heaved a deep breath to refresh before meeting Yunami in her room. Thankful, today the elevator wasn’t broken. I’m still hesitant as I grab the door nob. But there is no turning back now.The door make a clicking sound and there I saw Yunami reading a fashion magazine. Beside her was her mother who gave me a nod greeting me.“I’m so sorry for the last time…” I bowed my head immediately.“No worries here. There‘s probably some sort of emergency that h
Ren came here just to ask me for something. All of the time we spend together. Time we smile and laugh together. The time we both share together. All of those times as if they all disappeared into ashes.Alice thought while walking together with Yuki Harusaki back to their office. As for this time, Yuki was anxious about her sister's mood, because usually, Alice will never make such an unpleasant face to anyone. Alice always remains her calm demeanor and acts in her code of conduct all the time.“Big sister… Big brother is just…”“I know… His blinded by love. Love is the most twisted curse there is. Anyone whose enveloped by this curse is destined to do stupid things. Just like those others surrounding him.”Alice then heaved a deep breath and stretched her arms upward. Her piercing blue eyes connect to Yuki. Blue eyes that resemble the blue sky.Yuki don’t know if she will be terrified or glad seeing those eyes of hers. Whenever Alice made this specific wide glance, Yuki knows that s
After three days of crying and reflecting in my bedroom, I immediately went back on my feet and accepted the reality. There is nothing I could do about it after all. Human emotions are not meant to be controlled by someone. I can’t control Ren’s feelings.If Ren and Kanna were in love with one another. There is nothing I could do about it. Remembering my past conversation with Noah. I heard stories that Ren is desperate in his research to save someone special. Ren doesn’t notice girls in love with him because he already has someone in his heart.Putting all of the things I know about Ren. It all started to make sense.Ren landing himself an actress is a surprise. Ren is cool, but he's not someone I can see as actor material. No, I think he is, but not in the pretty boy section. Ren is masculine and cute in a strong way. Kind and nice, and looks younger than his age...“Why am I still thinking about that man?!”*Slam!*I slammed my head on the table. I hate these dark thoughts. Please
Tokyo metropolitan general hospital. The hospital where Clover is currently confined in. Upon entering the hospital I saw people in various circumstances. Most of them are grieving in the waiting area and others in joyous expressions. This is a hospital what should I expect? Most of the despair and hope can usually be found in this place.I don’t want to waste more time and go straight to the information desk and asked about the room of Yunami Kanade. That’s Clover’s real identity. The nurse asked for an identification card and after I handed my student ID.“Miss, do you have some sort of special request? Yumani’s room is not allowed for visits without permission.”“Oh, I do have…” I get my smartphone in my pocket and presented an email about my visit personally sent by Yunami Kanade.After some checking the nurse told me the room and inform The girl that she have a visitor coming.Yunami’s room is on the 10th floor. So high. Now that I think about it this hospital does look more like
Today is the day. Who am I kidding? I’m just excited to go back as Blackraven in the game. My imagination was filled with cool things to do. I would say that I was very very busy that last day. First, I had the training with Clover, hanging out with Yuki in the game and in real life, Consoling Ren, and laying down a proper build for this account.No wonder my grades in school are plummeting down the slope.My build is already complete and I’m going for an assassin build inspired by the Fuyuno and Tenjo, but, of course, with my own twist. I want to look like some kind of mysterious underground player. Something similar to a bad-ass anime character that stole the show every time he appeared on the screen.Everything is done. My visualization of my character and what I could do or my abilities.“Calling Blackraven!”The referee called and I hopped into the small stadium in a random town on the second floor.Each town and city will only have ten chosen players to participate in the sword
Urgg… What is this feeling? I feel like everyone is not being trusted by me lately. It's not that I'm doing something so obvious that would make them untrustful of me. Ren and Clover can just tell me what’s on their mind, but they always want me to go through some stuff to find my answer. Talk about a hassle. The class was lively as ever. Groups of people flock together and talk about their interests. Right now, I am surrounded by a group of normies. It's not that I hate it. Well, I don’t hate talking about girl stuff sometimes. Darma, popular boys, actors, actresses, the most handsome school, and more. I laugh about it because I barely know anything about what they're talking about. “Kaede, there is a rumor that a hot guy in the second year really likes you.” “Gosh, nothing like that is happening in my life,” I replied to my classmate, who I don’t know. I usually called her friend A in my mind though. Not very interesting. The guy I’ll be dating is a competent guy who can do thin
Days after. I’m back in "Fantasy world online" as Kaede. I never thought that I’ll be coming back as Kaede in this game. Not in my wildest dreams. I thought I’ll stay as Aki and have a long long adventure together with Ren. Speaking of Ren, I wonder why he looks so gloomy and desperate. I tried to cheer him up, but I feel like I was being pushed away. It was like Ren is having a problem that he cannot tell me. Urggg… It pissed me off. Why is he always like that? Sharing his problems with me is fine. I’m willing to listen day and night.Could it be that Ren doesn’t fully trust me yet? After all the shits that we went through together.Thinking about things that I could not control will only lead to despair. I should heave a sigh and try to relax. I’ll focus on what I can do for now.Right now, I’m in a second-floor mountain area with Clover. I'm here because of the promise I made to her not long time ago. She wanted me to teach her how to fight like me. I could teach the basics and how
Hello, I’m a former middle school student Kaede Kishimoto. Today I’m here at the popular free apartment with zero security deposit and zero rent.Its build with concrete blocks, something like river rock. It comes with a bed, but the drawback is that it's way thinner than I usually use back home. I’m not in the place to complain about it.It's also equipped with a toilet. I was happy because I can have some privacy within it. As a modern kid, I’m concerned about my hygiene.I can call this place a bargain, the rent is zero after all.It’s worth mentioning that it comes with breakfast and dinner. The food here is quite nice. I don’t know what kind of meat I was eating, but for anyone living a year in this world, you’d find it delicious.Now, let's talk about this apartment's reassuring security. Just look how sturdy these walls and iron bars are. No thief would look at this and want to get in.But ama
“My creation has destroyed… What kind of human are you? I believe your not the hero.”Astonished on what his body became stiff for a brief moment. He then cleared his throat and compose himself again.“... You got me there… Time to get serious.”That’s a useless people catchphrase.A huge purple magic circle appeared on the ground. From the magic circle, an undead witch appeared.“Come forth, my creation… Great mage from hundred years. Witch Marian.”“This is bad Kaede, that undead has a dense magical presence on it.”Alicia warned.The magical presence it has is indeed powerful. I can feel it on my skin. Its magical presence is as terrifying as its rotten face.I still have lots of Mp with me. I better make use of it.“Fire Sword!”My sword sliced his creation once again in half.“This can’t be…
