After discovering the boss monster, Kaede and Ronie immediately jump out from the point of their standing to avoid the diving Centipede monster.It curls around the whole boss room. After a moment it stopped and rise its long body. The towering body of the centipede and its intimidating stare leaves Ronie in anxiety. Cold sweat fell and she trembles in fear she plans to close her eyes and cover her whole body with a shield.“It's hopeless… We’re unable to win this battle…” Ronie muttered in an extremely low tone voice. Even Kaede whose nearly beside her was Unable to hear. “…”While Ronie is losing hope. Kaede's optimistic look toward the Skull Reaper Centipede. She made a smile and her outfit already changed.Now Kaede is in her staple black knight armor set. On her hand was her moon piercer sword.“Let’s do our best Ronie.”“...”Ronie seeing Kaede. Can’t take her eyes off Kaede’s smile. Even in the middle of danger. Kaede was still smiling.The shacking on her hand stopped and stan
After defeating the boss monster. A giant golden treasure chest appeared right in front of them.“A loot box.”“More importantly, A extremely big treasure chest. This is the first time me seeing one.”Ronie and Kaede turned their head to each other and nods with grins on their face. Before they entered the dungeon, the two girls already come to an agreement that Ronie will take any material that she likes and anything left was taken by Kaede.Without messing around. The two girls both pushed the lid of the chest. Opening with gleaming effect. Their eyes were fascinated by what they saw.Skull Reaper ore: A kind of material specialized in defense. A weapon made or forged with this material will obtain a damage absorption effect. (50x)Bone sword: Sword made with Skull Reapers Centipedes body. The durable sword can hold three skill slots. (STR +100) (Damage +550)Skull wright shield: Durable shield that can absorb 50%of damage. Plus, the ability to summon skull ghost minions for every
August 25th, the day of the tournament arrived. All players invited to the tournament were asked to log in early in the morning for a meet-up. The players are summoned to a giant square. The location was unknown to everyone or it wasn’t included in the game. It was a special area created only for the tournament.Emerging from blue light. Kaede appeared in the middle of many players. They turned their heads the moment Kaede made an appearance. This is proof that Kaede is one of the most popular players in the game by now. But not everyone was pleased upon seeing Kaede. Some players do stare at Kaede sharply and are annoyed by her. In another way, some look at her with a smile.Familiar faces were also seen in the square. Melida and Elise can also be seen. Melida meets eyes with Kaede and waved her hand. Kaede waves back. Saying that their rivalry was in a friendly manner.“Kaede, I’ve been waiting for you did get my message?”“Well…”Kaede scratch her cheeks using her finger and averte
A virtual space was constructed. A tall Building descended from the ground. Battle frontier stadium resembles a lot of modern-day cities. Cable trains and skyscrapers can also be seen. The dimensions fall between 100-130 yards (90-120m) long and 50-100 yards (45-90m) wide. Similar to a football field. Other players waiting for their battle spectate from the square with a giant monitor broadcasting the tournament live. Similar to the real world, the Summer cup can also be watched on streaming sites. Demon king guild (Kaede’s team) Kaede level 100 Yuki level 76 Clover level 52 Ronie level 55 Saya level 57 Holy Heroes Guild (Melida’s team) Melida level 107 Elise level 80 Amber level 98 Mellie level 60 Nell level 60 “Summer cup first round… Demon king Guild vs Holy heroes Guild! The battle starts!” Alice announces cheerfully. Accompanied by fireworks the battle was triggered to start. “Amber, Mellie, and Nell joined Melida’s team…” “The summer cup required a team to have
“That was brutal… In mid-air, Player Saya was destroyed into pieces by Player Elise! The first point was to give to the Holy heroes guild! I wonder what the demon king’s guild will do with their marksman absence.”Alice announced.“Light laser, Hound and Viper… Those skills are extremely hard to focus on and aim for. That skill also used too much MP. That player must have lots of MP to pull off a stunt like that.”“Yeah, because of that only a few players used that skill. That skill can be bought in the skill market on the first floor. It's not even rare, but here is used in an extremely dangerous way.”“They are definitely on another level than us normal players.”Players said while spectating. Behind the group of players commenting with a terrified expression on their faces. A man behind them was chilling out as he watch the battle from the square.“This is a good start… They both look like a strong guilds. Their clashing with each other means one of them will be defeated. I feel ba
It happened a long time ago. Under the orange sky and peaceful street. While walking back home from school. Kaede is on my side optimistically smiling looking up into the orange-dye sky.“I wonder what kind of dinner we're having tonight? I wish it to be hamburger steak. Yuki, why do you look so spaced out?”“Sorry, are you saying something?”“Are you thinking about games? You’re already good at it. So don’t worry. No one in our class can be you in games.”“I suppose your right? Well, games are all I have. I’m not as wealthy or smart as Kaede. I always need to do my best and made extra effort in every other thing.”That’s right, games are all I have.I'm only good in games after all.While playing games. I feel invincible because I’m strong. People look at me with a glimmer in their eyes because I’m strong.But that arrogance of mine ended in the middle of early middle school. Going up on a tournament. I face a girl that’s a lot stronger than me. Everything happened in a flash, She de
At the very last moment of Elise. She manages to grab Kaede’s blade and cast a skill right in front of her in point-blank range. From her hand, lightly traveled in a straight line to Kaede’s chest. Piercing her chest armor and by force, Kaede pushed away at a 20-meter distance from Melida and Elise. Elise's Hp drops down to zero and her body is illuminated in light. With the effect of broken glass, her body disappeared in light. After Elise's defeat, Kaede’s team gain another point leading to a tie. Elise opened her eyes and saw herself back in the waiting room with the other defeated teammates. She looks back to the battle and is amazed at how Kaede manages to survive a direct attack from her. In the other waiting room, Yuki solved the puzzled about how Kaede managed to survive the attack earlier. The answer to that was simple. Kaede has the skill called Sturdy body. Sturdy body skill (Passive) causing the Player to have 1 HP remaining if another Player/monster attack or magic/eff
Leaving great shock in every player who witnesses the number one player's strength. Player Arvam turned his back as if nothing had happened. Because the battle ended immediately the third round started. Arvam and his team goes back to the square and walked to Kaede’s position. Look down on Kaede. Arvam muttered his words to Kaede. “I thought you’re a great player… Watching your battle earlier. I guess you’re just someone who relies on her luck. Someone like won’t be able to defeat me.” Kaede has no response to his words. She merely clenched her fist and averted her eyes away from Arvam. She knows that she won the first battle with luck. She is troubled and lost confidence. She can’t say anything to Arvam because it is obvious how strong he was. While Kaede is in trouble. Her four teammates stepped forward in front of Kaede. Looking with raging eyes at Arvam. Annoyed with Avram's guts they all confronted him. “Luck is also an attribute to win. Without good luck, you can still b
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…
