The group stood stunned, looking around the room, at a loss for words, then, in turn, noticed Midgard. The woman, with a tense expression on her face, looked at Dora who was barely able to breathe. He weakly glanced around the room before collapsing to the ground, his aura completely evaporating.She got up and opened her system shop screen and purchased three healing potions. From the others' point of view, it was as if she made them appear out of nowhere. She handed one to Sana."For the one with the leg in the crystal.""... Huh... What is this...""Hurry up, or he will die!"She quickly took the vial shakily and administered it to Cid, while Midgard gave the other two to Dora and Eryl and placed Dora's head in her lap.A faint green light emerged from the bodies of the three and suddenly their faces seemed relaxed.The crystals crumbled and shattered from Dora and Eryl but continued to spread on the Cid.Midgard sighed and looked at Hope."Cut off his leg.""... What?""It's alrea
In the room, Dora was being bombarded with questions by his comrades, Lilith holding him by the collar."What do you mean, you don't remember?" Are you trying to play dumb?"But since I told you! You should have asked the other girl!""By the way, who is this woman?" Mary asked, holding his right arm. "What is your relationship?"They all looked at him, eager to hear his answer, but he was unable to come up with anything believable, in fact, even he didn't know about their relationship. A player and her gaming avatar? It didn't make any sense."It's…someone I met."Lilith tightened her grip."Someone you met? And she lives with you in... in... This place? Seriously?""Technically she forced herself on me but it doesn't matter."That wasn't enough to convince anyone and his options were dwindling. He considered changing characters but since Beta would be a dangerous gamble, and Gamma would be too violent. He decided to endure the wave, hoping that Midgard would arrive quickly.His salv
Everyone was sitting in a chair or armchair in the room, Dora, Midgard, Zuri, and Marie on the bed. Leon was sitting on the ground next to Erick by order of Midgard."So, Miss Owner, what is this super strategy that should help us win easily against that non-D-rank rift?" Kraim asked casually from his chair. "I don't know what's worse, the fact that this expedition was a failure from the beginning because you weren't wise enough to see how unbalanced your pupils were or the fact that they still lost with you on the team." He flinched and looked away, groaning. What was left of his pride, anyway? "So if all the failures are done barking, let's talk strategy. Thanks to my conversation with the maid, we know how to deal with this rift. First, the enemy, it seems that the monsters you have been fighting all this time are mere summons. " A few gasps of astonishment arose, and Dora scratched his chin while whispering. "Oh... That's why none of them dropped a soul stone... What a waste
Everyone looked around, fearing another surprise but gradually realizing that the fight was over."Is it over? We... won?" Sana whispered.Zuri and Freya turned, looking worriedly at Dora."Is that it? Is it over?"Eryl patted the dust on her suit, smiling."Lady Freya, do you sense any other remaining energy? If not, it means the boss is dead."An incredulous smile appeared on their faces and everyone jumped for joy. Morgiana lifted Zuri into a powerful hug and twirled her around, much to the latter's displeasure. Kraim sat down, morally exhausted, and Leon, with a disappointed expression, looked at the temple."Synergy: Beta-Sigma" a blue light appeared on Dora's eyes."Yeah, do that, let us clean up your mess... Oh, that reminds me..."He glanced at his quest screen.|Main quest: The frog who wanted to be as big as the ox|Complete a Rank D dungeon| Quest completed|All stats +10|+10128 Exp|Jobs have leveled up|+5 stats pointsJobsWarrior lvl1Knight lvl1Healer lvl30Swordmaste
A little later, the group was outside the rift, back at the car, with Dora taking a piggyback ride to Lilith as an apology while Hope and Cid, still unconscious, were in the car."The rift will be closed in about 30 minutes, I've called the guild and they will send some officers just to stand guard. We can finally rest... Good job everyone."Kraim bowed to the group. Marie turned to Eryl, looking worried.“Will Barron be okay?”"Don't worry, his life is not in danger. I'll make sure to take him to some people to see if they can do anything about his leg.""I see... Sorry, if my defense had been better this wouldn't have happened."Freya placed a comforting hand on her shoulder."Why are you apologizing? We are emissaries and these kinds of events are part of our world... Besides, I was the one who brought him into this. It was my fault."They lowered their heads for a moment, after which, she turned to Dora."Don't think this has anything to do with you either. Ultimately, it was my d
Night had fallen and the vehicle was transporting Cid and Freya to a nearby town, Eryl at the wheel. Freya, a little irritated, looked at one and groaned."Hmph, in the end, I lowered myself in front of him again... It's getting really annoying, this guy has no consideration."“On the contrary, my Lady, this is surprisingly the right order of things.”Freya glanced indifferently at the woman behind the wheel."So he piqued your interest? But regardless, no matter how great a person's potential, you have to have some knowledge of the world and the hierarchy, if you want to last long."She crossed her arms and looked at the passing landscape."He's not bad, but he's still far below too many people I know."“Hmhm, you don’t know how right you are, my lady and that’s why I’m telling you: it’s completely normal and even expected that you would move heaven and earth to get his services."The vehicle passed through a tunnel, and the lights of the moonlight disappeared but in this light darkn
The sun was high in the sky, illuminating the sinister sight of several Minotaur bodies scattered across a meadow. Next to a huge rock, Shining Sword, Dora, Zuri, Hope, and Mercy were facing a Centaur armed with a spear. "Mercy, blind!" "Got it, Stardust!" She brought her hands together and formed a triangle with her fingers, black stars appeared around her and converged towards her hands and then she fired a black ray directly at the centaur's head. The creature shrieked and backed away, back against the rock that jutted out slightly. "Zuri, head, defense!" "Hm~hm." She threw a black vial near the centaur and with her strange magic wand, fired a black arrow which exploded on contact with the vial and mixed into a purplish substance that poured onto the head and chest of the monster. "Dps, Leg, Chest! Lilith, get ready!" "Alright!" Everyone except the former party leader and his best friend screamed. Hope, Liliana, Morgiana, Leon, and Erick rushed toward the beast and stabbe
In the men's bath, a singular scene took place. A frail, puny, and seemingly small boy stood in front of the water, a towel tied around his hip, Hope stammered."G-Gersey?" "H-Hi, Mr. Hope." "What are you doing here?! You're supposed to be in the mansion!" Hope stood up, as if he had seen a ghost and wanted to confirm the identity of the young boy, the latter shyly hid his body and tried to make his way toward Dora, until he met his gaze. "... Um... H-Hi, Mr. Dora..." "... Do I know you?" Gersey flinched and lowered his arms, looking to the side. "N-no...I guess..." He sat down next to Hope, dejected. The latter looked at Dora, with the intention of making him change his behavior but he was too used to his temperament to know that it would be useless. For their part, the girls were surprised by Freya's unexpected return, it had been several weeks since her departure and no one thought she would return. She took a quick glance at each of them and smiled. "I see you haven't slac
