《The Elven Paladin》 Ch 0 - The Overpowered Paladin Phantasia Online, the first virtual reality game created. For me, even after all those new ones appeared, this is still the best VR. This game has no movement helper like the other VRs available, making it the hardest. I even had to practice martial arts for attacking and parkour for mobility before this game was released. Did I ever mention that your damage is based on the amount of effort you put in your movements? Heck, that says alot. In other games, you just say the name of your move and connect your weapon to deal damage. Here, attack multiplier still applies even if you don¡¯t use too much force, but the stronger the force the higher the damage you deal. I tried the other VRs, but this is the game for me. I guess I¡¯m just biased since I¡¯ve been the top player for years now. Sadly, no matter how I like it, it won¡¯t change the fact that the game is closing. It¡¯s been around for a twenty years now, and most of the players already shifted to other games. There¡¯s still a few playing, but they¡¯re mostly just here for sightseeing or having a chat with me, the best player. I don¡¯t want it to end, but I guess it¡¯s for the best. I¡¯ve used majority of my life playing this game, I think it¡¯s time to focus on my real life. I¡¯m already a thirty two years old woman, yet I¡¯m still single, I haven¡¯t even gotten a boyfriend. Looking at my character, I was quite pretty back then. The game lets you choose your race, but if you choose a humanoid one, then whatever you look like in real life, that¡¯s gonna be what your character looks like. The character will stay like that until you pay for it to update its looks, but why would I? It''s better to look younger. Oh, and my character¡¯s an elf by the way, cause why not? I guess that¡¯s a turn off for the old gamers, so they shifted to games where they could manipulate their appearances, heck, they could even change their gender. I bet those parading as girl characters act more girly than me. Heh, and another turn off should be my gears. It can only be crafted and the materials needed can only acquired through grinding a high end dungeon, which you¡¯ll only get access to when you¡¯re at the top one hundred pvpers. If that still doesn¡¯t sound hard, I should add that only eighteen players acquired a full god tier set after Phantasia¡¯s twenty year life span. Of course you could only use it outside the pvp rooms, since wearing those in pvp is equivalent to sure win, unless it¡¯s against another one with a god tier set. It might be a bit broken, but there¡¯s still challenge even if you wear them. Like soloing the hardest raid boss in the game, which is the one in front of me now, Thavan the forsaken. It¡¯s almost time for his final attack, about a minute from now. It has a four second casting time and a twenty meter range. I continued my assault and stopped after inflicting a precise amount of damage. Thirty seven seconds until God¡¯s blessing can be used, so I¡¯ll stall for time. I ran around, blocking and evading its attacks. When the god¡¯s blessing cooldown was down to four seconds, I sent an attack. Thavan stopped moving to cast its attack, so I spammed all of my attack skills, after that I casted a spell. ¡°God¡¯s Blessing¡± Thavan thrashed everything in sight, and at the moment his attacks got near me, my body turned into white stone. God¡¯s blessing makes me immune to every type of attack for two seconds and it has a ten minutes cooldown. Other¡¯s don¡¯t see just how op this skill is because of it¡¯s high cooldown. Heck, I can take a sure-kill blow from Thavan like it was an insects bite with this skill. When the spell ran out, I casted another spell. ¡°Holy Shield¡± It creates a transparent shield around me which absorbs all damage and even mitigates twenty percent of the damage as long as it¡¯s active. Just to add, the shield vanishes after a certain amount of damage, but if the spells duration is still not over, the mitigation will still work. ¡°This¡¯ll be the last time I¡¯ll face you, so let¡¯s enjoy this to the fullest. Divine Aura! Angelic Aura!¡± My body was then covered and thick yellowish aura. With a sword in my right hand and a shield on the left, I charged to Thavan. Ok, time to go full retard! ¡°LEEROY JENKINS!¡± I forgot to add, my class is the most broken of all classes after it¡¯s immense power spike with the god tier equipment. Heck I¡¯m the only one who can solo Thavan on the whole Phantasia Online history. After the battle, I looked at the timer.
00:12
Only twelve minutes left huh? I sat on the ground and looked at the sky of Phantasia Online. It¡¯s clear, just like it was twenty years ago. A lot happened, but I don¡¯t regret playing this game. Heck, this even became my source of income. Helping people grind levels, selling equipment a level below god tier class, and even sharing information. With the money I earned here, I won¡¯t have any financial problems for the next twenty years. Only finding a boyfriend should be my problem now. No matter what everyone says, even if it¡¯s only a game, the time I spent here was real, the friends I made were real, and the fact that I loved this game was real.
00:09
For me who had no relatives, this place became my home. The friends I made were my family. The journey I made here was my life.
00:08
Sadly, everything has an end. "Then do you want to stay here?" Of course! If you ask me, I would want to stay on this place forever. Eh? who¡¯s that? I looked around, but only I was in Thavan¡¯s boss room. Heh, I¡¯m getting too emotional that I¡¯m starting to hear things.
00:06
One last time, I¡¯ll look at the things that I''ve attained in this game.

Heh, what a ridiculously broken character.
00:02
It¡¯s really the end.
00:01
While shedding tears, I said.¡°Farewell, Phantasia, and farewell, Lucia.¡± On that day, Phantasia Online¡¯s legacy finally came to an end. On the same day, a person disappeared from the world, leaving no trace of her existence. =====*Desu Corner*===== The whole chapter screams of ''Overlord'', I know. I just hope I don''t get sued because of it. If I don''t release a chapter tomorrow then I''m probably in police custody. Ch 1 - Killing is bad Any minute now. What¡¯s taking so long? Does the game master want to torture me by letting me stay here longer? Ok, I¡¯ll just log out on my own. Why isn¡¯t the screen popping out? Is it delayed because the game¡¯s closing? Um, let¡¯s test the settings, still nothing....then map? Stats?

LOG OUT! LOG OUT!!!!!¡± I screamed with all my strength.¡°Why isn¡¯t it working? And why do I feel pain in my throat? This hasn¡¯t happened before.¡± I lay on the bluish meadow and stared at the stars. ¡°I¡¯ll just wait then.¡± After ten minutes. ¡°Why am I still here?¡± I do like it here, but this game is supposed to end already, so why am I still here? And why can¡¯t I log out manually? Grr, fine, I¡¯ll go to a city and ask. I¡¯m sure I¡¯m not the only one stuck on this game. ¡°Inventory!¡±

It works properly, then one last time. ¡°LOG OUT!¡± Still nothing. I released my equipment and took a teleport stone from the inventory. Releasing equipment? That¡¯s a feature for high-end gears. A character is given slots for normal equipment and for extreme to god tier equipment, and a character could interchange between two equipment at will. It¡¯s used to prevent pkers from taking away your hard-earned equipment, not like the god tier gears would fall. My gears are binded to my character, and even if I pay a million yen I can¡¯t give them to others nor drop them after being killed. So why did I change? You know, parading as a weakling despite being strong, it¡¯s a trend for strong players, don¡¯t know why though. Heh, for me it¡¯s not only for parading, I use this equipment to show that I don¡¯t need powerful gears to win a pvp match. My current set is composed of a wooden stick, plain white shirt , black trousers, and wooden sandals. You know what? These equipment are all fully upgraded, cause why not? Oh, I¡¯m getting farther from the main issue. I held the green stone, that¡¯s as big as a baseball ball, above my head. ¡°To ¡®City of beginning¡¯!¡± Normally, I would get transferred in a blink of an eye, but after my body got covered in white light, I lost consciousness. When I woke, I wasn¡¯t in a city but in the outskirts of a village. No there¡¯s a bigger problem, I fell asleep? When? And why am I still in the game? As I stood, a wicked smell entered my nose, cold air caressed my skin, my hair was annoyingly poking my eyes, wait, my sandals are buried in mud! I covered my nose and moved away. Thi-this hasn¡¯t happened before! When did the game add such sensitivity? ¡°Arf! Arf!¡± I heard from behind. When I looked back, there was a red furred pup with two tails. It¡¯s a Val hound, one of the basic monsters that you could see near the beginner village. No need to kill it, it can¡¯t even damage me. It jumped to my legs and bit me, but it¡¯s jaws couldn¡¯t even pierce the trousers. See? Not even a scratch. No wait, why is stuck on my legs? It normally goes back to it¡¯s fighting stance after an attack, like any mob would. I kicked forward, sending the pup to a tree....killing it, crushing its body, and splattering its blood and organs. I stood there looking at the corpse, I felt goose bumps around my body, I felt chill on my spine, and I gulped from time to time. ¡°Ha-haha this can¡¯t be real.¡± With my body shaking uncontrollably, I felt the urge to vomit, making me kneel on all fours and soon cover my mouth with my left hand, which was dirtied by the soil. I tried to hold it back, but when I tasted the sour soil, I vomited. As if to torture me, another pup appeared and tried to bite me on the face, forcing me to hit it with my fist. On impact, because of too much force, it¡¯s body exploded near me, covering me in its innards and blood. Dumbfounded, I tried to touch the thing dangling on my face. It¡¯s squishy, its reddish, and it¡¯s pulsating. ¡°I-I killed?¡± I threw it away and vomited again. I have watched gore movies, but seeing organs in the flesh is a first for me, I¡¯m even the reason why it came out of a living organism¡¯s body. The game never had such a brutal feature, at most, a mob would leak a bit of blood, but it will never show an actual organ. Yeah, I did study martial arts, but I never studied about killing. Just now, two simple mobs died like a normal living being. What¡¯s happening? I¡¯m still inside of a game right? I haven¡¯t killed anything right? This is just a new feature of the game right? Please, someone tell me! I mustered all of my strength and ran to the village that¡¯s within my vision. Why? I never had problems running around before, so why do I keep falling down? Why does the soil stick to my equipment? why am I getting all sticky? Why does it all feel so real? My body got more and more tensed as my thoughts got jumbled from shock. This kind of state is a first for me, both ingame and in real life. ¡°T-this is all a dream right?¡± Still far from the village, I saw a man soaked in sweat swinging an axe sideways to a tree. Drenched, his shirt had a yellowish color and showed what¡¯s underneath, a tanned and muscular body. Seeing the man, I ran to him with my tear-smeared face completely visible. I didn¡¯t know how to respond with what happened, at least, at least I need someone close to me. Just for now, until I calm down. ¡°Please?¡± I said while holding his arms. He noticed me a few steps away before I held him, and before I got closer, he dropped his axe. He didn¡¯t know what happened or who I was, but he knew I was afraid of something, since my body was shaking violently. It was a huge shock for him, not because of my sudden entrance but because he saw my pointy ears. It even surprised him more after my silver hair tainted by blood. He pulled his hand away from me due to fear, but after seeing my pitiful state, he asked. ¡°What happened?¡± With a shaky voice I said. ¡°I-I killed¡± And after remembering what happened, I lost consciousness. When I woke, I was in a soft and comfortable bed. What my eyes first saw was the wooden ceiling and looking around made me see different wooden sculptures. Atop me was a thick blanket, which I pushed to the side as I sit on the side of the bed. The bed was in the corner of the room and beside it was a drawer with a lamp placed on top. I raised my hand, which just killed a life. After remembering, I went to the corner of the bed and covered my body. The door of the room opened, and a girl around eight years old entered, holding a tray with a bread and a cup of water. She placed it on top of the drawer, pushing the lamp to the side. She then jumped to the bed and sat beside me, who was still covered in blanket. From the outside the thick cloth, she touched my ears, which felt a bit ticklish. ¡°Big sis, are you an elf?¡± Still confused and scared of my situation, I ignored the girl. Hearing no reply, the girl just sat near me and continued touching my ears. The door opened again, this time, the man who I met before entered. Seeing the girl, he walked closer and lifted her. ¡°I apologize for my sister¡¯s behavior¡± He then went out of the room. I didn¡¯t move an inch from my spot, and just used my time thinking of how I should act. With the span of time I spent and the fact that I still can¡¯t log out, it¡¯s possible that I won¡¯t get back anytime soon. My senses feels too real, so either it¡¯s a new feature or everything became real. The way the mob died proves that its the latter. Players can¡¯t own houses or create one, and there¡¯s also no cooking ability in the game, so the man and his sister should be npcs, but they act like real people. I moved closer to the drawer and took a bite from the bread. It¡¯s bland, but it tastes like a real bread, even the texture feels real. ¡°How did this happen?¡± I said before taking another bite. ====Desu Corner==== I seriously don''t know if I''m doing fine in this fiction. Ch 2 - Dont bathe on rivers After the third day it was settled, I¡¯m stuck on this game, with most of the features disabled. I can only access four screens, the status, the skills, the inventory, and the party screen. Aside from the remaining features, my stronger physique, and being in the game, everything seems real. The people in this house are obviously not players, but they act like real people so they¡¯re not mere npc either. Right now I¡¯m eating with the Morton family, who let me stay in their house for free. On the middle of the living room, seated around a wooden table was a man, his sister, his mother, and I who was wearing one of the dresses of miss Lenia Morton, the man¡¯s mother. In front of me is a soup and bread, which was the same with what the others were eating. I ate by using a spoon for the soup, which I blew once to lessen the heat before I put it in my mouth. After the bitter yet delicious soup, I ate the bread presented to me. ¡°Thank you for the meal¡± I said while bowing to the Morton family. Miss Lenia slightly opened her mouth, which she then covered with her hand. ¡°There¡¯s no need to bow.¡± She then looked at her children. ¡°Right you two?¡± While the two were looking at me and nodding repeatedly, I said. ¡°It¡¯s only proper to thank my benefactor.¡± After a small chuckle. Miss Lenia said. ¡°You¡¯re too polite.¡± After helping them clean the table, I went back to the room given to me. I have decided yesterday that I should act properly while I still don¡¯t know the whole situation, to avoid getting into bad situations. I still haven¡¯t forgotten what happened on the first day, heck, I would be a cold blooded murderer if I did. I still feel cold whenever I remember that, but I need to get over it, or I will get buried in negative emotions as I wander in this world. Ah, forgot to mention, I was able to move on a little when Kain, the man who helped me, comforted me yesterday. I didn¡¯t leave the room and stayed curled up in the corner, so he barged in and tried to soothe me. The villagers saw the corpses of the mobs I killed, which they called animals. He said it¡¯s not that big of a deal to kill animals. Hunters of the village kill animals on a daily basis for food, so he said the only thing I should be worried about is that I wasted the animal¡¯s body, since it¡¯s too messed up to eat. Of course it wasn¡¯t easy, even if what he said is true, it still doesn¡¯t bode well with me that I killed. He came to my room from time to time to comfort me, and by the end of the day, he managed to calm me down a bit. Thinking about it, although it¡¯s less brutal, doesn¡¯t the meat that I eat on the real world also come from animals? They¡¯re just animal, just animals, so it should be ok right? None would blame me right? They were the one who started it after all. If they just ignored me, then I wouldn¡¯t have to kill them. No! Isn¡¯t it unnecessary to kill life that can¡¯t hurt me? ¡°Big sis, let¡¯s play!¡± Said the girl who suddenly barged to my room. Her names Kia Morton, Kain¡¯s little sister. She would always barge in to my room without saying anything, but since she¡¯s the daughter of this house¡¯ owner, and the sister of the man who helped me, I didn¡¯t say anything. I don¡¯t dislike her anyways, and her positive personality probably helped me stabilize my emotions. As it is now, I could fully recover in a few days, but I don¡¯t think I¡¯m ready to kill another life. Well, in this world I might run in to problems, such as having human enemies, but I could deal with them by beating them half to death. That doesn¡¯t count as killing right? Ok, enough of that. Sitting beside me was a girl with brown hair tied up in a twin tail. She was hugging my arm with her white, slim arms and was looking at me with her blue eyes. ¡°So what do we play?¡± Looking at her petite build, I said. ¡°Do we really have to?¡± ¡°Yes, my brother said that we should play.¡± He said that? Why? Talking about her brother, Kain Morton has been working for their family ever since their father died. He¡¯s a well known sculptor in the village, and the sculptures in this room are his creations. Just like her sister and mother, he has brown hair and blue eyes, although he¡¯s different when it comes to skin color. Since he is the one cutting the wood for his own sculptures, he is always bathed under the sun, making his skin turn dark. Also, his body naturally got bigger from his work. He¡¯s the serious type, he doesn¡¯t beat around the bush when talking, and I guess that helped me believe in his words. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. ¡°Big sis? Are you listening?¡± Ah, I got side-tracked ¡°Yes, of course.¡± ¡°Then what do we play?¡± She said while playing with my ears. I didn¡¯t go out for three days, and since she¡¯s the relative of my benefactors, playing with her outside is like hitting two birds with one stone. ¡°Then let¡¯s go out and play ¡®Tag¡¯.¡± She tilted her head to the side and asked. ¡°Tag?¡± She doesn¡¯t know? Well, it¡¯s a different world after all. ¡°It¡¯s where player has to catch at least one person. If the player manages to catch a person, their roles are reversed. The one caught will then have to catch the others.¡± With sparkling eyes and fidgeting body, she said. ¡°Let¡¯s go outside!¡± She then grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the house, of course after asking her mother¡¯s permission. So now we¡¯re here, me, Kia, and miss Lenia who wanted to join. Outside was not the village but a forest. The village which I saw before was far away from the house of the Morton family, but it¡¯s still visible. All of us wore the same white shirt and brown skirt that extended down to our knees, so there won¡¯t be problems in running. After telling the game¡¯s rules, we started, with miss Lenia being the ¡®It¡¯. She ran to who ever was the closest, which was me. I adjusted my speed to make it look like she¡¯ll catch me, even though she really can¡¯t. By the way, my strength and speed are too high. I had to adjust my grip just to hold things without breaking them. What did I used to practice? The bread of course, since even if I crush it, it¡¯s still edible. Where did I practice adjusting my speed? Inside the room when I ran around in circles because of stress. It¡¯s kinda easy since I knew how to control my body due to practicing martial arts. Now that I mention it, at the age of twelve I was a purple belt in karate and a blue belt in jujitsu. It¡¯s a lie? I have you know that it didn¡¯t come from a mcdojo but a distinguished school that¡¯s known to produce world class martial artist. It¡¯s ok to brag about it right? Or am I just average? I continued to act like they can catch me, but in the end, the two of them had to run after each other. Well, at least they enjoyed it right? When the game ended, the two were all sweaty and were breathing heavily, while I looked clean, except for the few dirt on my clothes. Seeing that made miss Lenia ask. ¡°How are you still fine after all that running?¡± ¡°Because I¡¯m an elf?¡± Should I say because my character is overpowered? ¡°So elves have high stamina?¡± She said while thinking seriously. Kia then walked to the middle and called our attention. ¡°Let¡¯s take a bath!¡± After getting spare clothes from their home, we went to a near by river. Since there wasn¡¯t any soap or shampoo, I had to rub my body while in the river. The water reached up to my waist, and just like any river, it had clean running water. Luckily, we didn¡¯t run into aggressive animals on the way here. While washing her body, miss Lenia asked. ¡°So Lucia, how many men fell in love with you?¡± *cough**cough* W-why the sudden love talk? ¡°I think none.¡± With a wide grin she said. ¡°Stop being humble and tell me, ten? A hundred? A thousand? Don¡¯t tell me you came to the human territory to look for more men?¡± ¡°NO!¡± I said with my arms stretched downwards and my body leaned forward. Due to my yell, Kia who was happily swimming on the river stood up and looked at us. She then joined the conversation, which turned into both of them teasing me about love. ¡°Look at that, three beautiful ladies.¡± I heard behind me. The three of us looked and on the shore, opposite of where we placed our clothes, were a group of rugged looking men with matching bandanas, about twenty or more. Judging from their expressions, they had a malicious intent. After seeing their lustful eyes, we crouched in the river and covered our private parts. One of the men noticed my ears and pointed at me. ¡°Boss, look at that, there¡¯s an elf.¡± All men turned their eyes on me. ¡°Hoho, quite a big catch today.¡± In a low voice I said. ¡°Eh?¡± ====Desu Corner==== No shampoo? NO! You could take away my conditioner but you should never ever take away my shampoo! Ch 3 - Too much problem will lead to a headache The men entered the rivers and slowly walked to us. Seeing the severity of the situation, I activated my god tier equipment which covered my body in light. A second later, the light disappeared leaving a white capped armor on my body. On my left was a circular shield with a diameter of three feet, and on my right was a white sword with pulsating yellow lines connected from the handle to the gem embedded on the middle of the blade. After equipping my gear, I felt a large boost in strength. Seeing that made the men hesitate to enter the river. I then called the attention of the two behind me. ¡°Run back to the shore.¡± Both didn¡¯t want to stand up since their body would be seen, but knowing that it was either get seen or get raped, miss Lenia lifted her daughter and ran to the shore. Like the lustful creatures they are, the men tried to take a peek at them, so I stomped on the floor, pushing the water away and creating a giant dent. The loud sound made them focus on me, who they knew was dangerous. But seriously, I don¡¯t want to fight them. I haven¡¯t even gotten over that fact that I killed, and now I have to fight not animals but human beings? With the additional boost in strength, I don¡¯t know how much to use so that they won¡¯t die. To scare them away and avoid fighting, I said. ¡°Go away or I will kill you all.¡± My voice carried seriousness, and seeing my action earlier made them step back. To add more fear, I used an offensive skill. ¡°High Slash!¡± I moved my sword downwards, and with one hand, I raised it with full force. The skill shook the river where I stood and the ground where the men stood, like a small earthquake. The motion also released a wave of light to where the sword was pointed, which vaporized everything it touched, dividing the river channel into two. ¡°The next will be directed at you.¡± I said while pointing the sword at the men. Please, just go away, I don¡¯t want to be a murderer. The men looked at me with fear, like I¡¯m some sort of dangerous entity. While slowly backing away, one of them said. ¡°Monster!¡± They started running away after that. When I was sure they were no longer there, I turned back. On the shore were Kia and miss Lenia, who were covering their body with their clothes. They were seated on the floor, shaking as they stared at me with a small hint of fear. Why? I saved them, so why are they looking at me like that? To not dirty my equipment and to lessen their fear, I released it and walked back to the shore naked. They watched me wear my clothes, which was a bit embarrassing, but their fear was still there. Not knowing what to do, I stretched my hand to both of them and said. ¡°Please don¡¯t be afraid, I don¡¯t plan on hurting you.¡± Really, please don¡¯t look at me like that. I¡¯ll start thinking of myself as a monster if you keep looking at me like that. They did stand up and walked back to the house, but something felt different, like the warmth I felt from them earlier vanished. At this point, my worries were starting to affect my head. The problem of getting stuck here remains unsolved. The guilt and fear of killing was starting to haunt me. The fact that they were looking at me like I¡¯m no human didn¡¯t help me calm down a bit. I was starting to be lost in my thoughts. What should I do? What should I prioritize? How should I act? How do I go back to my old life where I don¡¯t have much problems? We stayed silent even after entering their house, so I entered my room and sat on the bed. My room remained lifeless until Kia brought lunch and unlike before, she went out of the room without talking to me. Why? Shouldn¡¯t they be thanking me? Shouldn¡¯t they be idolizing me for my strength? Am I asking too much if I wanted them to treat me like before? We only met a few days ago, but I liked how they acted around me before. Wait, why am I acting like I lost them, I¡¯m not a part of their family, I¡¯m just a stranger to them, we hardly even know each other. I wanted to tell my problems to someone, like my ingame friends, to get their opinion and help me solve it. Sadly, I¡¯m all alone in this new world, with no one to hear me. Even though this is the game that I used to play, I hardly recognize this place and the people here. I always hangout in the city of beginning, but where is it? I used a teleport stone, so why am I not there? Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. Just like on the first day, I went to the corner of the bed and covered myself in blanket. Maybe I should just sleep until I log out from this game. I¡¯m sure this is a game, I mean, I could still access some of the features right? The game masters just had a small technical problem but they¡¯ll still log me out right? Scared, Confused, Depressed, I held the blanket tightly as my body shook violently. I wasn¡¯t able to control my emotions and soon, the bed was drenched in my tears. While I was crying, I heard both Kia and miss Lenia¡¯s shout. ¡°KYAAAA!¡± The door then opened, with Kia and miss Lenia entering the room. The sudden events made me look at them, and I saw miss Lenia covered in blood with Kia hugging her tightly. ¡°Mom!¡± Her plain white shirt was tainted by her blood, and the injury was around her chest. Following them was, Kain and a bulky man. Both had swords in their hands and were pushing each other, but on the looks of it, Kain is losing. From outside the room, I heard a voice. ¡°The whole village is already under our control, so just give up and let us play with you mother.¡± From another voice. ¡°I¡¯ll play with his sister, hehehe.¡± What should I do? Should I help them? But if I fight, I might kill someone and if I used my strength everyone will fear me.... I threw the blanket to the side and stood up, which surprised both Kain and the bulky man. I ran to them and grabbed the bulky man¡¯s sword with my barehands. ¡°Kain, go to your mother, I¡¯ll handle of this.¡± I then crushed the sword with my hand and said. ¡°Get out, or you¡¯ll regret it.¡± He, who was three times heavier than me, punched me in the face, but I didn¡¯t feel a thing. Even without my gear, only a level one hundred character could inflict damage to me, so anything below that wouldn¡¯t even damage my hp by ¡®1¡¯. I kicked the man away with the minimal amout of force, but he was still sent flying. The moment he hit a wall, I cast a spell. ¡°Heal!¡± I also healed miss Lenia. ¡°Greater Heal!¡± Her injury instantly closed, even the small injuries she did not know herself got healed. As I thought, on this world, I can heal injuries. So with purify, I can cure any disease? I went out of the room and saw two more people aside from the man I kicked. The two were slightly built and wore brown shirts with a leather vest, but the thing that caught my eye was their bandana, which looked like the one I saw earlier. In front of them, I activated my equipment. ¡°Do you want to fight me?¡± I said while pointing my sword to them. Both pulled a sword from their waist, which they pointed at me. ¡°M-monster!¡± Ah, there it is again. Monster? So everyone is gonna call me that now? ¡°I¡¯m a monster?¡± I asked with a smile. The man I kicked stood up and tried to run away, but stopped after hearing me say. ¡°Did I tell you to run away?¡± I casually seated myself in one of the chairs on the living room, and the three just stood there watching me do as I please. I don¡¯t need to worry anymore. My throat felt dry, so I took a glass of water and seated myself again. I have the strength, so I can do what I want. What they think of my actions no longer matters, since they¡¯re not gonna listen to me anyway. After drinking, I stretched my body. I won¡¯t kill without a reason, but I¡¯ll kill those who block my path, since no matter what I do here, everything will go back to normal after I log out. ¡°Right?¡± I said while tilting my head. ¡°So, will you stay here and die? Or will you leave and survive? Please choose wisely.¡± I said with an innocent smile. ====Desu Corner==== She finally lost it, no more sane female protagonist. Ok, time to hate and flame this fiction!
