"Subsses? What''s that?" Asked Rita while we walked towards the castle, I began to notice a few fairies emerging from the underground areas already, flocking towards us.
"How can you not know the most basic info about the game, Achlys?! Subsses are special quest-locked second sses! Imagine how strong you are with your first ss, but what if you can get an exclusively unique subss just for yourself?! Subsses are not only that, theye with five extra Skill Slots, something that many call game breaking!" Titan said excitedly. I guess Mark is really into this game! He looks cute talking so passionately about it. This is certainly not something I would see every day back at the job.
"Oooh, so like a second ss I guess… So what''s so special? You''ll have to waste Skill Points in them too, don''t you?" Asked Rita.
"Well yeah, but their Skill Options and bonuses are usually way better than conventional sses." Said Titan. "I have investigated it and there''s only a few thousand yers out of millions that have reported to get a Subss, so they''re super rare! If weplete this Quest well enough, we''ll be able to actually unlock a Subss…"
"Thousands?! That''s still a lot!" Achlys said. "But I get it, a few thousands out of a million is indeed very rare, yeah."
"Hm, I agree. Tell me more about this, Titan. Do we really get five new Skill Slots?" I wondered.
"Yeah! Although you can only equip Subss Skills there, but each Skill is like an extra skill anyways, right? And they''re always amazing. Those yers with Subsses are usually top ranked in PvP and other stuff. Most if not all of them are famous people and owners of Guilds." Titan said.
"Guilds…" I murmured. Just thinking about Guilds made reminded me of all those times there were creeps talking to me about joining their guilds because I was a sexy babe or something. Ugh, this game avatar is really not like I look like in real life, huh?
"You''re interested in joining one, nta?" Wondered Titan. "I have thought about joining one too, but guilds that are good will never recruit noobs like us… Well, not you, you''re amazingly special so I am sure they''ll recruit you."
"But I don''t really want to get involved with people I don''t even know out of nowhere… I want to stay here with the people I know. All of you guys." I said with a smile.
"nta…" Titan muttered, he felt slightly moved I think.
"A, isn''t she the sweetest?" Asked Achlys, hugging me from behind and suddenly groping my breasts.
"S-Stop it!" I said, quickly pushing her away.
"This is a game, rx!" Sheughed.
"Okay then!" I roared, as I grabbed her breasts and fondled them around.
"Uuaaggh! S-Stop that!" She cried.
"You got what you deserved, bully!" I said with a smirk.
"I-I feel like I shouldn''t be looking at this right now." Titan said with a low voice.
"Haha, don''t worry, we are just ying around, we are friends in real life." Said Rita.
"Yeeeah… But let''s not talk about our real-life stuff, we are in the game, so let''s talk about the game. We don''t need to share each other''s real-life names or something, in here, we are yers and we are ying in this game world, we are different." I said.
"I guess you''re right. I wouldn''t really mind talking about my real life with you girls, I''ve grown fond of you two." He said. "You''re good people."
"Hahah, you''re trying to snatch me away from my husband or something, Casanova?" Rita asked coquettishly, as Titan felt flustered.
"W-Wha… Of course not! I would never do such a thing; I was just acting friendly…" He said, lowering his head and scratching his wooden head. I approached him and petted hisrge wooden hands.
"Don''t worry, Achly''s like that, she loves to tease others." I said. "You''re also a nice person, Titan. I''m d I found you in this game."<novelnext></novelnext>
"T-Thanks… It''s rare to find people this honest nowadays…" Sighed Titan.
"I can rte! Everyone is an asshole nowadays!" Rita said.
"A-Anyways…" Acorn muttered atop the head of Titan. "I wonder if I could get Subsses myself…"
"Oh you?" Asked Titan.
"I am sure you could! You got a yer Title now, so you should be able to, Acorn." I said. "You might be the first non-yer to ever receive such a power too!"
"Oooh! That sounds so great! I wonder if I can make better bombs and potions." He said while wondering something like that.
"Geez, is getting stuck inside your atelier the only thing you think about, little Acorn?" Rita asked while crossing her arms.
"I-It is my passion. I am working hard towards a future where I will be able to heal people from any disease… I want to make the world a better ce… For my grandma, and papa and mama…" Acorn said.
"I-I see… That''s noble of you." Rita said with a slight smile. She seemed to take everything lightly because it was a game, but even Acorn''s words got her out of guard.
"I''ll help you reach that goal, Acorn. We are best buddies forever." I said with a nod, as I petted his head. "I''m sure you''ll get a super awesome Subss, buddy."
"You think so Lady nta?!" Acorn asked while waving his adorable squirrel tail around.
"Of course my man!" Titan said. "Now, I remember you were talking about an antidote for the fairies?"
"Oh yeah! We should talk about that with the Fairy Queen if possible, if we can get in touch with her and learn more about the specifications of this disease, we''ll be able to make a more urate recipe." Acorn said. "Let''s go, the gates are there!"
"Alright…!"
Titan slowly opened the gates with his enormous hands, as we were greeted with dozens of fairies pointing spears, swords, and bows at us from inside.
"D-Don''t step any closer- Eh?"
"What?"
"There''s no snakes?"
"What happened?"
"Oh! Hello! We defeated them all for you guys!"
I greeted everyone by dropping a bomb, the fairies quickly flew outside, seeing nothing but hundreds of dropped items resting over the floor.
"It''s true, I saw them with my two eyes."
Suddenly, Nieve appeared from behind us, alongside arge group of wounded fairies.
