There is only one hour remaining within the time limit. After one hour. The battle event will end and all rankings will be decided.
Within that nervous situation. An announcer’s voice echoed over the whole battlefield.
“Currently in number one place player Kaede! The second is Racer and the third is Blake! In an hour starting now, when the top three are defeated, 30% of the points they gained will be transferred to the player who defeated them. The position of the top three players will be shown in the man! Please do your best until the end!”
“Looks very troublesome. But I was disappointed that I’m not the number one.” Racer said who didn’t feel a sense of crisis.
“Such pain in the ass… Also, That Kaede girl is taking first place. She must be very strong.” Blake said and yawned.
Meanwhile, Kaede smile and reached his ears. She was overjoyed that she became number one in her very first battle event.
“I did it! I’m number 1!
Kaede was very glad about the things happening to her but the battle is far from over.
While the three of them showed different reactions to their rankings. The battle event was moving forward to its climax. Players that were aiming for their head was running toward them striving to be first.
“There she is!”
“That’s her! The number one!”
The players come out from the forest moving and surrounding Kaede. Within them, there were of course players with lots of agility stats on them. Making them move so fast.
“A ninja? Is that possible?”
“Anything is possible in this game. That’s how this game is designed. Now repent and give me the points you gained.”
Without being able to keep up with that high speed. The ninja appeared behind Kaede with her dagger. The dagger was swung toward the nape of Kaede’s neck.
“W-Why?!”
But, that wouldn’t get through to Kaede.
Before the ninja player gets their dagger loses to Kaede. Her sword protected her and bites the ninja Player. The sword of Kaede became a huge dragon fang and chowed down the ninja.
“Is this possible?!”
“Anything is possible in this game.”
Kaede replied.
The ninja player became the magic counter for the sword.
And even after that, a lot of players leap toward Kaede and got eaten while saying their complaints.
Having seen that horrible scene a lot of times, the movements of the players had become more cautious and they slowly lessened their distance. There were a lot of them who were especially being cautious of the killing technique of the sword.
But, the players didn't know that Kaede still has more skills on her sleeves.
“Poison breath!”
Kaede’s sword started to release violet poisonous smog that scattered through the whole area.
“Paralyzing roar!”
Using her most used skill. The players around Kaede were collapsing one next to the other. They all had no way of escaping the lethal poison smog. All players who attempted to defeat Kaede were killed by poison.
In the end, they all became Kaede’s points.
After the hour of battle, the battle event ended.
“The battle vent ended! The result was no change of rank from number 1 to number 3. Well then, we will now proceed to the awarding ceremony!”
When Kaede thought that her vision whitened, she was at the same plaza at the starting town. People look at her with cheerful expressions. They all clap their hands for her.
The number 1 to number 3 is told to climb the stage so Kaede gets the center of attention because she is number 1.
“This is the feeling of the limelight so great.”
Kaede was standing while looking straight forward, but with the amount of sight, she somehow got shy, and her face blushed.
And, she was passed the microphone when her head had whitened with nervousness.
“Next is the number one player Kaede! Please say something!”
She was saying next, so the two should have already talked, but Kaede was too nervous that she was listening.
“Eh… Umm… I like chickens…”
The announcer is skeptical of her words.
“Eh?”
She also didn’t know what to talk about so she was saying ridiculous things.
Kaede had been so embarrassed she couldn’t look forward, so she didn’t notice that a lot of players were recording and had that on video.
When she got the event prize, Kaede returned to the inn’s room swiftly.…
That night. The bulletin board’s Kaede is too cute a thread, and Kaede the strongest newbie sword user is on fire.A discussion thread is made talking about Kaede’s stats and sword build.
“That little girl looks innocent on the outside but she’s an absolute monster. Honestly, I think she is in the same level as the top players. Maybe worst than them.”
“But she is very cute. Like a cute little demon lord. I’m also a sword user I’m glad I made it in the top ten in the battle event.”
“Anyway, is that possible in the sword? I mean those skill she’s using is overpowered. I did my research and found out that this event is Kaede’s first time in the battle event. How is that even possible for a newbie player!?”
Summary of Kaede’s first event score. Death 0, damage received 130, number of players defeated 2050. Her equipment is a sword that can eat opponents. The same sword can also use status debuffs like poison smog and paralyzing shocks.
Her dark robe is can’t be seen anywhere and one of the unique series. She has skills that can boost her evasion ability and recover health points. Her dodging ability is an unbelievable speed.
“Looking at everything this is crazy for a new player like her. The number one mystery here is her stats and skill build. Just how high is her attack damage for her to single-slash everyone on the battlefield.”
“Kaede started to become the new demon lord of this era. Her equipment is frightening. I’m one of her victims. My body was chewed down by her sword. She doesn’t even have empathy. In this game, the maximum pain a player can feel is only 20% of real life. But still, that hurts a lot.”
“We do feel bad… Looks like she has very high STR stats. I mean, isn’t there someone who has an idea of what skill Kaede has?”
“No one knows about it.”
It is unknown what skill Kaede has but she probably got basic ones. But her skill is unknown.
“Maybe she got a secret skill or something…”
“That might be true… This game still has many hidden things and secret skills. That’s why I love this game so much.”
“She has an AoE status debuff or else it’s impossible to win. Her poison smog is probably a high leveled magic. There s a question here. what happened to MP? Magic should cost MP. Using that magic lightly, and with that strength, she is probably a full STR build right?”
“You got a point, high level magic should use a high amount of MP. At her level, she supposes to use Magic maybe once or none. I guess it’s in the sword. The sword was eating the players and maybe the players are converted into some kind of magic replacement.”
“That’s smart. Then those players eaten was her source of magic. That means she can’t use magic unless she has enough magic to cast it.”
“Correct.”
“It means, Kaede herself has a ridiculous high strength and makes her one-hit everyone with her sword.”
“Truly a demon lord candidate I should say…”
“Yeah… Freaking devilish girl.”
But it is said that she might have a skill still hidden. That’s what all the players thought when they think about Kaede.
“Maybe she is a former top player or something.”
“Anyways, I can’t wait to see her battle again in the next event. I’m the current top 7 players in the whole game named Amber. I was happy to the reports your giving. In the next battle event. Kaede and I might clash. What is the strongest? Her sword or my shield.”
With that last chat.
The Top 7 player named Amber started to become interested in Kaede and in the future, their weapons will come clashing with each other.
The next day.Kaede was currently busy taking notes in front of her computer. She is currently researching better equipment for her character in the game.The money, she reive was a reward. She plans to use it in buying some new equipment just in case she lost the first sword in the battle. The sword is her primary weapon and her lifeline. Without her sword, she can’t do anything. That’s one of her prime and most obvious weaknesses.Sword user build is very popular and common. There are thousands of players using different types of swords. Each sword has its attributes and damage level. Because of its numbers, Kaede has it tough to pick one.“Buying a weapon is an option, but looks like the weapon that required materials are a stronger type. Hunting for materials calls for another adventure… I think it’s going to be fun.”It’s been three months since Fantasy world online was released. Together with that, there will be a large-scale update tomorrow. A few skills and items will be added
“Homework check… Notebook check… lunch box check… Well then… I’m going off!” She wore her uniform and went to school. In these few days, the sunlight had gone stronger and the warm sunshine feels good. It can be said spring has finally come. Kaede’s seat was by the window so if she let her guard down she might fall asleep. If it goes like this, Yuki who was two seats apart will be on a sleeping course in the afternoon class. And while thinking of that, Kaede was walking on the road to school. Kaede’s house is near the school. So she comes to school be a walk. That distance is only five minutes walk. The pleasant wind was blowing, and it is not a bother to walk. Because she didn’t suffer from hay fever, Kaede liked to walk during this season. “Yosh! Let's do our best today~” Passing through the gate, went toward her classroom and she arrived at her seat. After this, she would have started reading books, but when she started Fantasy world online, it was time to think of new skill
“So colorful and quite big for a starter town I should say. I ner expect to see this kind of town.”Yuki looked around and raised a voice happily. Looking at Yuki herself at the start of the game, she thought about it nostalgically.They both used the name in real life in the game. So that they can avoid confusion in calling each other. Yuki also doesn’t have anything on her mind, to begin with.Previously the other game, Yuki played before. Yuki used a name like Snow because Yuki means snow when translated into English. But she decided to use her name instead for some kind of reason. Before when she is typing her name in character creation she hesitated in putting Snow as her name. That name did make some flashbacks from her past that she doesn’t want to remember.Yuki and Kaede immediately registered as friends. And when they made a party. Yuki showed her status to Kaede.Name: YukiLevel 1HP: 32/32MP: 25/25STR: 10 (+11)VIT: 0AGI: 55 (+5)DEX: 25INT: 10Equipements: Starting a
Walking back from her school to her home. Kaede was so excited about the news her friend Yuki told her. With that excitement. Kaede immediately lay on her bed and open her hardware.She immediately logs in to Fantasy world online.Arriving she appeared in the last spot where she logs out. And that’s in the underground cave. There Yuki is already waiting for her.“What happened to you? You’ve not logged in for three days already.”“Sorry, but I got a lower grade on our last exam in math. Our teacher has her eyes on me. I got to study a lot and retake the exam.”“Well, that can’t be helped.”Looking closely at Yuki. Kaede noticed something different. Yuki is currently wearing a different armor from before. It’s not a unique series type of armor but it looks good on Yuki.“Oh… Did you notice? This is my new armor. It's armor I buy in the armor shop. It's not as great as yours but this will do for now.”“I remember, you did fight the underground dungeon. What happened? Did you defeat it?
Today was the day when the students go into a gymnasium to practice their physical body with physical sports. Kaede and Yuki were currently standing on opposite sides of the table tennis. Chatting while they are playing.“That was fun… yesterday.”“Too bad we didn’t get any unique series type of equipment.”“According to the game, a rare drop and only a few monsters in the game has it. Speaking of drops I give them to the smithing store in the starting town. The owner seems to know you and asked about you.”“I also give her money and materials to make me a new sword. I need a new type of sword that can handle new skills. I like to have many skills as possible. With those skills, I feel like I’m being stronger.”Kaede said that, but there is more to it. The next event is happening next week and she wanted to participate once again. She wanted to feel the greatness of the limelight once again.Daydreaming of winning the event once again. Kaede lost herself in reality. The ball then boun
“The next battle event is about to happen. That will be my first battle event. If it’s a battle royale. I won’t pull my punches on you Kaede. Prepared with my blade” “That’s bad, I don’t want to hurt you after all. My damage is very high. I’m scared I might injure you.” “This is just you know… Well, I will still feel some pain from your attack. But it’s not that severe. The maximum level of pain that can be felt in this game is like the maximum punch of a first grader student.” Yuki opened a panel and search for the news for the next event. She then showed it to Kaede. “Look, the next event is decided.” “Hunting event? What kind of event is that?” Yuki then read through the description. After reading she made a sigh of relief. She was happy that She and Kaede will never gonna exchange fists in the next battle event. She then explains the event to Kaede. “The next event is about hunting monsters…” “A special event monster will be scattered on a giant map with different kinds of
“Arrived!” “let's not waste time and enter right away!” In front, there is the entrance of the stone ruins. If the information they saw in the adventurer bulletin was correct, This should be the dungeon connecting to floor 2. Kaede, in the land, walked in the pah. Just holding her sword while she is walking. With that her preparation for the monster attack was perfect. After walking just like that, they encountered a monster. What appeared in front of the, was boar that was a little huge compared to a real-life one. “Wind cutter!” Yuki took the first move and shot magic. But that attack only decreases its health bar by 20%. “The power decreased a lot. I think I should raise my status debuff skill…” While she was saying that, the boar regains its posture and charged again. It was colliding toward Kaede with a lot of momentum. It was devoured by Kaede’s sword. “Can I count on you during fights with the boar?” “Okay!” Because the path was narrow, the boar charging was suicida
Kaede and Yuki started their activities in a new base town on floor 2, but Kaede was groaning with a dark face. The reason for this was the game maintenance.“I didn’t think that there would be a game maintenance days before the next event.”The two girls logged in immediately as soon as the maintenance ended. But they were stunned by the contents of the maintenance.Mainly, Kaede.The contents of the maintenance were about nerfing some skills and buffing the Artificial intelligence monsters. The target skill name, in the settings of the game, was not cleared, so only those who have them knew it. Some things changed.The implementation of attack damage and damage reduction. There are three to five kinds of skills per weapon. Its attack was very decent. The problem was the skills.Kaede looks at it like she was nerfed in the game on purpose.“Don’t make that face… That happened all the time for somebody who stands out too much.”Yuki put her hand on Kaede’s shoulder.There are mainly t
