When I wake up in the morning, I craft resurrection potions and jerky while I have time, and when the time comes, I log out and prepare for the morning.
The daily activities for the morning are washing my face, brushing my teeth, and combing my hair. Then I finish breakfast, change my clothes and set off to school.
âŠ..is the usual routine, but today is Saturday, so I log in after eating.
HmâŠ.I think it might be a good idea to upgrade the Nether fund-raising hut. From a ramshackle hut to a hut, and then from a hut to a torii and offertory box. It will look like a shrine.
Click.
âPrincess, does this do anything?â
âEh, its effect? Nothing in particular? Itâs just a visual change.â
âLook! Thanks to your donations, itâs become so gorgeous!â
âWhat a bad personality!â
Yes, please complain to the management.
Itâs a terrible story. Hahahaha.
âHmmâŠthis shrine is completely papier mache! Itâs totally a stage setâŠâ
âWowâŠThe building part is so flimsy!â
âCheapskate management!â
âItâs still two ranks upâŠBut thatâs about it. Well, letâs upgrade Enma-samaâs courtâŠAnd weâll be done.â
âSee you later.â
Now that weâve upgraded the aggravation level of the Outsiders that return from death, itâs time to strengthen the facilities of the Residents.
While being seen off by the players that have just returned from the dead I head over to Enma-sama, in the Residents exclusive area.
We will upgrade from Enma Court I to Enma Court II while continuing business as usual.
The light spreads like ripples, updating and cleaning the place as it passes. Quite beautiful. As expected, game.
âOhâŠSire, you have my gratitude.â
ââŠThat should be enough. Then put it to good use.â
After being seen off by the people in Enmaâs Court, I return to the detached palace.
What shall we do today?
«Magic Catalyst» is now 30, and I learned [Assemble Spell]. Itâs a passive that increases in power as you use magic of the same attribute.
Using 6 SP lets me evolve it into «Book» and acquire [Livre Mastery]. Itâs a passive that reduces MP consumption and increases the attack range.
The slowly rising «Spatial Magic» became 35, and I learned [Gravitas Sphere]. It generates a gravitational sphere that attracts surrounding objects at the specified coordinates. An excellent magic for ranged hunting.
When «Shadow Magic» reached 15, I got [Hide]. The art of choice for red players. Itâs also used by the Murder Mantis in the Felforge mines.
To put it simplyâŠItâs an optical camouflage magic.
By the way, when using «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» it doesnât matter, since youâre not seeing with your eyes. You can also see through it with the «Detection» skill, so best not to be overconfident.
At 35 «Darkness Magic» has strengthened its magic to [Dark Ball II] and [Dark Heal II]. There is no new magic.
And I have opened up [Ex Multi-Lock] of «High-Class Magic Ability». This is the one that makes it possible to designate a single target when using multiple magic such as with [Double Chanting].
In addition, you can use it the same way as usual and target multiple enemies, or heal your allies.
Well, I can say that my skills are looking goodâŠ.but capacity is not going so well. It is currently at 9141. I would like to have more.
Maybe I should stop digging and go east. The east is where enemies give the most capacity.
Oh, thatâs right. Letâs go see Ertz-san too. Iâd like to buy a new dismantling knife and kitchen knife.
I think I can hear the eerie voice of Athame when I use it to cut meat.
Letâs fly to the Starting Town.
This is the first time Iâve been to the central square since the third batch arrived, and there are so many of them. There is a lot of beginnersâ equipment.
ââOh, Princess~!ââ
This splendid harmony isâŠAme-san and Thorin-san, is it.
âItâs been a long time. Is it going well?â
ââItâs going well~!ââ
It seems that they are levelling up to aim for the Nether, and are going to try it soon.
Theyâre both flying types, so it shouldnât be too difficult to get there, but according to the forums, the trials vary a bit depending on your race and can be quite difficult.
Alf had a series of battles against different types of opponents, and Ske-san was doing puzzles and fighting again.
It could also depend on your skill composition.
After seeing them off on their hunting trip, I head to Ertz-sanâs shop.
âItâs Princess. Whatâs up?â
âGood morning. I was thinking of getting a new dismantling knife and a new kitchen knife.â
âOh, good morning. Haltium as the material?â
âThatâs the plan. And do you want to process some Magic Iron?â
âOf course I do. Itâs delicious.â
Iâll hand over 12 pieces of Haltium ore for my order of dismantling knife and kitchen knife.
And I will also pass him 180 Magic Iron for processing. It will come back to me as 60 ingots.
For me, itâs better to leave it to Ertz-san. He needs less to process it into ingots than I would doing it through alchemy.
âI have a dismantling knife in stock, but Iâll have to make the kitchen knife.â
âHow much will it cost?â
âYou let me process your Magic Iron, and brought in the materials. Itâs not that expensive to begin with, so 20,000 in total?â
âItâs cheap. I will fetch it while youâre making it.â
âWait, wait, you can trade using the Union card now.â
âAh, thatâs right, it was written in the update information. Then, thatâs it.â
âOh, thanks. This is the dismantling knife. Come get the kitchen knife and ingots later?â
âI donât mind. And I donât need the old one, so please crush it.â
â âKayâ
We can now transfer money between Union cards, so we can pay with them.
I donât need my old knife, so Iâm selling it.
[Tool] Haltium Dismantling Knife Rare: Ra Quality: A- Durability: 150
A knife made of haltium for dismantling.
Increased quality of dropped items: Small
The durability has increased, and the effect of improving the quality of dropped items has improved.
If there is a problem, itâs that I donât use it as often as I could. The «Dismantling» and «Connoisseur» skills havenât improved at all.
Well, Iâll leave the rest to Ertz-san.
Now, what should I do?
I want to focus on «Alchemy» and the weaknesses of theâŠtechnical build are showing. There are too many things I want to do, too many things I can do, and not enough time to do them.
I want to check the gates in the Nether that King Woofwoof mentioned, and I also want to check the library Evernight Castle.
I would like to learn [Ex Anti-Personnel Form] from Lana, and «Ancient Divine Linguistics» will take a certain amount of timeâŠ
After that, production such as «Alchemy» and «Cooking» and, as is the fate in any RPG, levelling up.
I could spend time learning the language after getting home on weekdays, and move crafting to before bed on weekdays.
On the days offâŠ.Checking out the gate and the library. And if I have time before lunch, Iâll go to learn from Lana.
Now that itâs decided, the best thing to do is hurry up and get started.
WellâŠhe only said to the north.
There are fields of Crystal Lotus spreading out up there, butâŠ.looking from the detached palace, there does not appear to be anything there.
âŠ.Well, letâs go.
As I said, there is nothing there of particular interest, butâŠif I were to say suspicious, it would be the area where there is a hill. There is a road, so there is no option not to check it.
Itâs not like the Immortals go picnicking in the field of flowersâŠand since there is a road, there must be something at the end of it.
I came to the top of the hill, but there is nothing much to be seen.
As I looked around I came to the middle of the hill, and now the Silver Key is reacting.
It is moving by itself, and trying to open something. It is the same effect as when transferringâŠ
I thought space was going to split open, but my field of view suddenly changed instead.
There is a huge gate ahead, and in the foreground something is swaying on a shining sphere on a platform, emitting a low-pitched sound.
Ancient One ăLv100
Attributes: ? Weakness: ? Resistance: ?
Genus: Deity
Family : Incarnation of ?????
Condition: Sleep
UmâŠIâm convinced that this is my destination. There is definitely a Cthulhu connection, so I re-read some of the Cthulhu mythos rulebooks and supplements in the real world. I thought it would be more fun if I understood the differences.
Umr At-Tawil is an incarnation of Yog-sama and the guardian of the Ultimate Gate.
An incarnation of a deity that is safe, when on the regular route.
Was the meaning of Umr At-Tawil is âThe Most Ancient and Prolonged of Lifeâ? Or so it was written.
Well, anyway, the Silver Key is already hanging in its usual positionâŠnext to Athame.
After two steps, the sound stopped and the condition changed from sleep to normal. Heâs awake.
Sliding down from the pedestal, it has the silhouette of a human being covered in cloth. The way it moves suggests it isnât human, however.
ăIt is too soon for you.ă
Probably pointingâŠbehind me, to the exit, it spoke in a voice that echoed directly in my head. It is an unidentifiable voice, like a man and a woman speaking at the same timeâŠ
Will it answer a question for me?
âAm I correct in assuming that this is the Ultimate GateâŠwhich leads to the Abyss?â
ăYes.ă
âThank you. Then I will return later.â
Letâs go back quietly. Itâs not good to make people angry. Now that Iâve confirmed the location Iâll ask the King of Tindalos for more information.
When I reached for the darkness just behind me, my view changed instantly and I was returned to the top of the hill.
I head back to the palace, and call for King Woofwoof.
âLanguage?â
âNo, I have something to ask.â
âOh?â
âI found the gate, but the incarnation told me that it was too early. Do you know the requirements?â
âHow strong is your «Spatial Magic»?â
âUhâŠ35, is it?â
âHmmâŠ.All that is missing is the base. Make it 35 or higher before you go. What about «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion»?â
â14â
âHmm. The minimum requirement is only the base level, but the higher the «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion», the easier it will be to get there.â
âThe minimum requirement of «Spatial Magic» is 35 or more?â
â30 or more.â
âI seeâŠThank you.â
âMm, come quickly.â
I watch him get sucked into the corner of the statue and head for the library in Evernight Castle. If I level up now, Iâll probably evolve at 40 anyway.
It would be nice if there is something that affects my skillsâŠ. Will you react, «Intuition»? Letâs go around the library and look over all the book covers.
Mm, «Intuition» has reacted to a book called âA Study of the Mysteries of the Dead and the Coffin of Dreamsâ. Itâs a rather interesting title.
Letâs seeâŠ
Using bones and flesh as a medium, the body is generated with magical powerâŠI see.
Aside from a spirit with its own individuality, a servant lacks the power of will, and a spiritual body cannot maintain its existence without help. This is why it is necessary to use the bones and flesh of the creature as a medium and use the magic power of the master to maintain it. âŠâŠ
Because even a spirit can make use of flesh and bone! Is what it says. The procedure for that is what is written.
And the âCoffin of Dreamsâ isâŠthis is also..quite blasphemous, though I could say that is typical of necromancy.
<You have fulfilled specific conditions, it is now possible to summon spirits with «Necromantic Secrets»>
<Specific requirements were fulfilled, «Necromantic Secrets» Extra Art has been added.>
Let me check them then.
There is no change in capacity in the spiritual system⊠It is strong because it has racial physical resistance and magic resistance, but it is fatally weak to light and holy.
In the case of players, according to the BBS, they are not suitable for tanks. You canât hold your ground with a shield, so youâll get knocked back a lotâŠ.
Zombie
Strength: C Dexterity: E Vitality: B Agility: F Intelligence: F Spirit: F
Skeleton
Strength: E Dexterity: C Vitality: C Agility: C Intelligence: F Spirit: F
Armour
Strength: C Dexterity: E Vitality: B Agility: D Intelligence: F Spirit: F
Ghost
Strength: F Dexterity: D Vitality: D Agility: E Intelligence: C Spirit: C
This is really extremeâŠ
In addition to this, the shape of the body also has an effect, so itâs complicated.
Wolf
Strength: D Dexterity: F Vitality: D Agility: B Intelligence: D Spirit: E
Skeleton Wolf
Strength: D Dexterity: E Vitality: C Agility: B Intelligence: E Spirit: F
«Spirit Magic» is considered an element, but it changes a lot depending on the shape and appearance.
Wolf in shape, skeleton in appearance. Wolf in shape, zombie in appearance. Wolf in shape, ghost in appearance.
The living armour type is independent.
The stats are based on shape and change slightly depending on the appearance. On the contrary, resistance is based on the appearance rather than the shape.
And donât forget that being undead will basically lower intelligence and spirit. If you are Immortal, rather than undead, your intelligence and spirit will reach human level.
However itâs not that the reduced intelligence makes them dumb, so much as magic damage is sad, because the AI behaviour of «Spirit Magic» depends on the AI level.
So the only thing to do is switch owl to ghost? Zombies are too airy.
Next, the added extra arts.
[Ex Coffin of Dreams]
This magic summons a large casket and a small casket.
The large casket has a space to lay the body and a space to place burial goods around it.
The small casket only has space for burial objects.
[Ex Ephemeral Doll]
Summons a body lying in a large casket, complete with burial accessories.
The soul is no longer there, but the memories left in the body rage on in an impersonal form.
Only one can be summoned.
[Ex Ephemeral Radiance]
Embody and summon burial objects in a small casket.
There is no limit to the number of embodied items, but MP is consumed each time they are embodied.
The special effects of burial objects may be limited.
According to the book, the inside of the casket is timeless, so there is no need to worry about corrosion.
Burial objects refer to equipment. In other words, you no longer have to prepare multiple identical items. However, if the equipment has a special effect it will be restrictedâŠ.
Is it too strong if it is completely reproduced? But there are cases where it isâŠso it seems there are some rules.
For the corpse placed in the large casket, the stronger it is before death, the better. It is even better if the burial objects are also relics that were loved before death. If you can prepare such things, they will show the best performance.
The casket cannot hold a living person. If you try to trap the soul, Immortals will come on a business trip. All you need is the body. Be carefulâŠ
MmâŠ..I think it would be a nice to store Lanaâs corpseâŠbut it is no longer in the form of a body. What a shame.
Can I bring out the casket here? I need a lot of space.
After returning the book and looking for something else, I leave the library and return to the palace.
Summon the casket and put the equipment into the small casket. Now that I donât have to prepare more than one, I no longer need the steel equipmentâŠ
Either the Haltium mace or the Magic Red Iron one will suffice, and so this is a wonderful, money-saving casket!
Thinking about it, if Almandine Magic Iron becomes Magic Red Iron, does the colour of the jewel simply change the middle word?
So far, the necessary attributes are light and earth⊠Measures for dealing with undead and the aquatic monsters to the south. Celestite and amber.
If I were to get one made, it would be an earth elemental one-handed sword, and a light element mace. Once I have one made I can start selling the excess ingotsâŠ.Or rather, if I donât sell it, theyâre only going to increase as I extract ore from the housing vein.
For the time being, it is almost lunchtime. But I will have some made with the Magic Iron that I have.
After a leisurely lunch, I log in, then once again visit Ertz-sanâs shop.
âOh, itâs ready.â
âThank you. Will you buy steel equipment?â
âI donât mind. It still sells âŠâ
âMy servantâs equipment problem has been somewhat solved.â
âCongratulations.â
I receive 60 Magic Iron ingots, and a Haltium kitchen knife.
Then I can sell the steel one-handed sword, mace, two-handed sword, large shield and small shield. Thatâs 500,000.
âAnd hereâs a one-handed sword. Can I ask for a one-handed mace now?â
âHmm, hmhm.â
âAnd how much would you charge for this series?â
âItâs a bit tricky at the momentâŠHow about half the usual sale price?â
âThatâs good. I think that earth and light are the main targets.â
âAquatic and undead measures? Fire is probably going to be popular too.â
A magic sword of fire is quite stable, indeed. But itâs still a bit plain at the moment.
However, we can make it from collected materialsâŠ.Which means consulting my gemstones.
âConsidering performance and availability, itâs better than Haltium. Is around 150,000 okay with you?â
âThatâs fine. By the way, how much for a one-handed sword and a mace?â
âIâm going to be earning a lot of money from now on. Iâll take 100,000 for both.â
âThen please. I will go and process them.â
âSure.â
After returning to the palace, I start to synthesise the Magic Iron, gems, and magic stones.
Itâs about time to buy and magic stones and resupply my stocksâŠ
The advantage of «Alchemy» is that it does not take too much time.
For the time being, I have 40 pieces. 11 fire, 6 water, 3 wind, 9 earth, 3 light and 8 darkness. Iâll take these to Ertz-san.
âDelivery~â
âOh, thanks!â
Rather than talking in the store, itâs better if we move to the workshop. You canât enter without permission, so itâs a perfect place to talk in private.
âMagic Red Iron, Magic Blue Iron, Magic Green Iron, Magic Gold Iron, Magic Heavenly Iron and Magic Dark Iron.â
As the name suggests, the iron is lightly coloured. Red is for fire. Blue is water. Green is wind. Gold is earth. Heaven is light, and white in colour. Dark is black, and for darkness.
Just in terms of appearance, the Magic Dark Iron is the most plain. Itâs iron turned black.
The name follows the rule of gem name + ingot name.
And since the only magic metal currently available is Magic Iron, that is attached to the name.
âIâm going to make as many as possible⊠With this many pieces, I can makeâŠ. Okay, Iâll give you the money.â
âOh, thatâs a good price.â
âAh, Now might be the best time to make money, before the dungeon is found.â
Magic Iron is basically mined in dungeons. I suppose that means the supply is low right now.
If word gets out that this kind of thing can be made with «Alchemy», the number of people taking «Alchemy» is likely to increase. If Iâm going to earn money too, Iâd better do it now.
So, the income is about 2 million. To be exact, 1,950,000. My savings just reached 5 million. Should I buy a kitchen?
Iâll receive the Magic Iron sword and mace that I ordered once they are ready.
âOne thing Iâm wondering, canât you put an attribute on a bow?â
âI donât have a recipe at the moment. Couldnât we make arrowheads?â
âIsnât the cost too heavy to make it a consumable?â
âEven if you can get Magic Iron in the dungeon⊠You still need gems and magic stones âŠâ
It seems that the drop rate of magic stones is set as uncommon. If you aim for enemies that drop them, they will come out to a certain extent.
Jewels are usually rare.
âBows seem to work quite well with the «Grant Magic» skillâŠâ
âWell, maybe there is a tree with attributes.â
âIs there any? I havenât seen anything quite so crazy fantasy, so farâŠâ
âTriffid wasâŠan event, but Iâm sure we havenât even seen half of what is out there yet, so maybe you can find it in the untouched areas.â
âThatâs true. We have yet to explore the entirety of the southern continent.â
Is the Nether fantasy? Itâs the afterlife and there are many Immortals there.
Well, Iâve done my bit and Iâm off. Iâm sure youâll be making weapons from now on.
I leave Ertz-sanâs shop and head to the central square.
What should I do next?
âHyahahaha! Isnât it Princess!â
I can already tell who this is, from that alone. Looking at the direction I heard it from, and sure enough, it was Mohican-san.
âGood day. Mohican-sanâ
âIâm in a good mood, Iâm buzzing!â
â ăWhat !?ăâ
âWell, itâs better than not being in a good mood, right?â
âGyahahaha! Youâre not wrooong!â
Mohican-san seems to very stimulating for the third batch. The first time is quite an impact. Itâs already quite common for the first batch, and the second batch have probably gotten used to it?
âItâs Tasha!â
âOh, hereâs another intense one.â
âHyahahaha! Youâre the same, arenât ya?â
âWell, I canât deny itâŠâ
Itâs Ellie and Abbie. Behind them, of course, are Letty-san and Dorie-san.
âI see youâve managed to buy the dresses and maid uniforms.â
âI got a discount because it would be good publicity!â
âWe were informed they could be made. Of course we would ask for it.â
Ellie has a black and red X-lined fishtail dress.
Letty-san is wearing a classic Victorian maid uniform, that one often sees in anime. The skirt is long
Abbie is in a white and blue balloon dress. The skirt is short.
Dorie-sanâs dress is based on the Victorian style, but with a steampunk battle-maid aesthetic. This also has a long skirt.
Ellie has a calm and mature design, while Abbieâs is a cute design. They are both what you would call party dresses, and both girls know exactly what suits them.
âIâm the only one without a servant. Should I fetch #1 with me?â
âIn butlers clothes, perhaps? But itâs still bones.â
âHyahahaha! I think itâs better to take him as a knight in armor, right?â
âI see.â
âSure, that sounds better.â
Would #1 learn a thing or two if I were to summon him and leave him in the detached palace? I feel like I can do it with the current AI level. Letâs keep him out while crafting, as a trial.
âI recognise this look! Itâs Hyaha!â
âHyaha! Disinfect the filth!â
âAmazing!â
âDonât imitate it, okay?â
âNaturally.â
Abbieâs face is quite serious as Dorie-san tells her it is fine to watch but not to do it herself. Well, sheâs not wrong.
Even Mohican-san nods his head with a wry smile at this. As for Mohican-san, heâs not going to want to be imitated by Abbie.
âFufuâŠBy the way, how is Mohican-san doing? Is it going well?â
âItâs going well. Itâs about time to start aiming for the next area. Hihihi!â
âThat would be the fourth area. Should I aim for it soon too? Maybe east, if I do? How about Ellie and the others?â
âItâs about to be the third area.â
âThatâs pretty fast.â
âItâs a bit easier from the second group onwards, because weâve got all the information.â
âThatâs true. Itâs a big thing to have information.â
I see. The advantage of having information. Iâm sure itâs a lot easier when you donât have to spend so much time trying to figure out the conditions for acquiring skills.
AndâŠInformation on the hunting grounds. This is also quite a big thing.
So far, there are area bosses only when going from the Starting Town to the second areas. As long as you defeat the golem and such, you can pass through the second and third areas. Whether you can hunt is another matter.
Between the second and third areas in the east there are horses around. It can be difficult if you donât have the strength to defeat them.
âOh, by the way, Abbie. Do you still want the magic clay?â
âYes, I do!ăHave you got any good quality?â
âI got it to A-grade, so it should be enough.â
âHow much is it?â
âHmm⊠15k, I think. But there are not many.â
âI want four!â
âIf so, itâs just right.â
âHurray! Iâll take my time making it later!â
Abbie is a Marionetter. In addition to that, she is making the dolls herself, and the magic clay made from the Nether material is suitable for them, so itâs just right.
âAh, also, Ellie. Have you visited my house? I exchanged points from the event for tea saplings, and planted them. Weâll be able to harvest some soon.â
âI havenât been there yet. We exchanged for some too, but we canât plant it because we donât have a base yetâŠâ
âIâm even thinking of just buying a field!â
âI want a house anyway, but I donât know much land Iâll need.â
âIâm interested in the big house that was built at the edge of the field!â
âOn the outskirts of this town?â
âThatâs right!â
Is there such a thing? Is it the work of a player? Iâve not been to the outskirts of the Starting Town for a long time, as itâs no longer useful to me⊠I donât think it was on the north side, so it must be a different direction.
âOh, you mean the farmers? They built it in a field they bought themselves. So they formed a guild.â
âThe guild name is Farmerâs Rebellion!â
A farmerâs rebellion⊠They sound ready to kill.
However, the important thing is that you can build a house on the outskirts that you can buy as a field. The land is cheap around the outskirts, so you should be able to buy a reasonable size. Land is first come, first served, so now is the time to go for it.
There is also outskirts other than the Starting Town, so if you want more space, you may want to aim for another. The problem isâŠIf there is a defense battle World Quest, will it break if you donât do well enough?
Be careful to the south of the Starting Town. The other towns itâs still unknown.
Everyone seems to be going hunting, so weâre disbanding.
Iâm going to restock magic stones at the Union, and then Iâll go hunting. Iâll go east today, for capacity.
Considering people will be reaching base level 40 soon, I have to save up on them now. Thereâs not enough, even for free.
Iâm coming to meet you now, Troll-san. Also the Ogre.
MmmâŠ.If itâs just about getting capacity, should I go for the weaker ones in the second area? It does depend on the sizeâŠMmmm. Letâs go to the second area first, and if I get bored I can go to the third.
