2023-02-01 16:09:56Continuing what she left yesterday. Kaede logged into the fantasy world online.
“Let’s also do our best today! Lets’s go to the forest today too… I also want new skills.”
Kaede wasn’t the type who is engrossed in leveling up. But still, she is attracted by the exciting feeling that you get when you gain a new skill. Like filling the collection with new items. This moment was very fun.
“I should get skills that will raise my STR mostly right. More STR means more attack power right!”
She is very simple-minded but she is not wrong for the most part. STR translates into strength. Raising her STR status sure grants her a powerful attack.
With her usually slow walking pace. She went outside of the town.
I wonder what should I try doing today.
She thought like that, and the first thing that comes t her mind was sensory awareness. If you can be aware of the enemy's presence from the start, there shouldn't be a more convenient thing than that.
I should learn it.
Kaede seat down on the ground and take a deep breath. Closed her eyes and searched for presence. Actually, this approach is wrong.
The real approach is written on the conqueror’s bulletin board. Hit the unseen enemy with an attack bow and arrows or throwing stones if you know that it is there.
It was like that, although it seems that there is a hole in the system.
In the first place, if Kaede acquires it in this approach. Kaede would be able to use Sensory Awareness in the real world. Kaede is not superhuman or anything like esper. Just a plain dumb girl playing around.
And Kaede who don’t know anything for real closed her eyes and concentrated mindlessly. (Note: She fell asleep)
She just did that, after three hours.
To Kaede’s ears who had just exerted patience for unknown reasons, a system message had arrived.
(Skill meditation had acquired.)
“What? It’s wasn’t sensory awareness… I see it’s too bad…”
Just like that, when she tried to stand up, she noticed that her body was heavy. She opened both of her eyes and when checked her body. From centipedes and caterpillars that are small fries. To wolves that were a bit stronger, they clinging to Kaede’s defenseless trying to attack it.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!!”
With a dramatic scream, she started to panic and then pulled her short sword immediately. She started slashing around her and defeat e the monster that clinging to her body.
Her STR is 616 it was a very easy feat. She takes to the ring she goes to the bee. She survives the attack. Not that she remembers it she noticed that her HP was down to the red zone. While concentrating she didn’t notice at all. She drinks a potion to relieve her lost HP.
Caught by Kaede’s scream, monsters were coming out from their hiding and come to attack Kaede.
Without using her Provoke skill she indeed provokes these monsters.
And after that…
(Your level had risen to level 11!
“It was a fast fight but difficult at the same time… Well then, let's check the skills.”
(Meditation: If using 1% of maximum HP will recover in ten seconds. The duration of the effect is 10 minutes. No MP needed.)
While in meditation player can’t move.
“Sounds like meditation in real life… Well, It will cover my lack of Vitality. It’s very welcome to my skill collections. Maybe I should use provoke more and defeat the monster with a swing of my sword before it reaches me. That way I can level up easier. My only problem is that I can't control the monster that will be provoked by my skill… I don’t know if a high-level monster came to kill me if I use it. I must use it carefully I think.”
Anyways, with this, she would be able to raise her level anytime.
“The only left is to place the status points to STR… There are 10 status points!”
Kaede receives twice the amount of the status points given at the multiples of tens. This was created that way but to Kaede. It was an unexpected gift, and she was somehow happy with it.
Kaede’s current status:
Name: Kaede
Level: 11
HP: 40/40
MP: 12/12
STR: 180 (+540) (+10) (+6)
VIT: 0 (+10)
AGI: 0
DEX: 0
INT: 0
Equipements: (Warrior short sword) (Ring of the queen bee)
Skills: Sword boost, Provoke, Poison resistance level, Meditation, Endure, Great defence.
Kaede confirmed her status lastly, nodded very satisfied, and logged out.
…
But while Kaede is sleeping in her room in the real world she became a hot topic for a while in the online forum on Fantasy world online. She doesn’t really browse too much and she will never gonna know about it. Just like how she didn’t know that she was popular in her school.
She became a talk in the forum because of her weirdness. Like a newbie saw her killing monster with a furious face and now she's letting herself be wrapped by a monster for many hours.
Players wonder why she didn’t die.
They didn’t know but Kaede acquire Endure skill that let her endure physical damage and her accessory ring grants her health regeneration.
While she is meditating honestly while she is sleeping in the game. That’s the only explanation she didn’t die at that time.
It’s weird but it was true.
Players also talked about her killing the monster so fast with a starting weapon. They think it was a bug or a cheat. But they didn’t know that Kaede has a sword boost that allows her to multiply her STR by four. Because she was a special case.
Just by playing the game in few days. Kaede indeed unlocks hidden things other players didn’t find out after many years of playing the game.
Not even the strongest player in the game has the skill Provoke and sword boost to begin with.
Kaede sure has a god of luck on her side.
Lastly, people talked about her looks.
Picture of her face scattered in the forum. People are thinking that she is some kind of Idol in real life.
The game Fantasy world online didn’t have character creation. The game scans the entire body and face of the player. When you go to the game your real-life appearance will be your appearance.
Because of her cute looks and petite body.
Some players started to create some kind of hidden association with her. More like a fans club.
Still, Kaede will never gonna know about that.
…
The next day has come.
After going home from school she cooked dinner and eat while watching her favorite anime. She then washes her dish and takes a bath. Relaxing in the bath she is thinking of the game. Like what kind of Skill she should acquire next.
Her Vitality is zero but her skills are covering it up for her so it’s no problem. Being slow might be fixed with some equipment.
Kaede's simple-minded head just thinks of one thing.
“I must get stronger… I need more STR.”
After taking a bath. She did her homework first and then lay down on her bed and start playing Fantasy world online.
Although saying that it was for playing with Yuki, she got hooked on the lilt.
The feeling of success at the time she gained skill and the feeling of success of increasing her strength and power made her addicted. And before she noticed she immediately turned on the hardware.
But before it started to run and she logs in to the game.
Her room started to be enveloped by darkness. Not just her room but the whole city.
Apparently, there was a power shortage and it made her feel a bit angry at the electric company.

Chapter 170: Yunami's Goal
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
Chapter 169: Language
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
Chapter 168: Blinded to accept reality
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
Chapter 166: Counter
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
Chapter 165: Troubles of jealousy
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
