Free Life Fantasy Online

The chime rang and a little later the teacher arrived.

“….Good. Well, I’ve just been informed that…we have a new student.”

” 『What?』 “

“Come in.”

A week after the summer holidays, at a very odd time, a new student?

The teacher called to them and… they came..in…

” ” Buha ” “

I hold my head when I see the two people enter, and can hear Tomohiro and Suguru blurting out their surprise nearby.

“…..Sure, I didn’t hear that you had returned after the summer holidays…? You logged in to the game as normal…”

It’s Ellie and Abbie. I didn’t hear about it, you know? They’re all smiles after seeing their prank succeed.

“They’re studying abroad because their parents are in Japan for work for a while. So, take care of them, okay.”

The teacher says while looking at me like crazy, but that last part is totally directed at me, right?

“I’m Elizabeth Ophelia Renfield. Nice to meet you.”

“And I’m Abigail Serena Loucraft! Nice to meet you!”

“Just out of curiousity, does Abbie not need to be in my sister’s class?”

“It was judged that there was no problem in academic ability.”

I suppose that’s that, then.

They were placed to my left and right, as if to sandwich me.

“Looking forward to it, Tasha!”

“Fufufu, we’ve come.”

“I should have noticed when you were in the game…”

…..Hm? That fluttering I just saw…

“Could it be, Letty-san and Dorie-san came too?”

“Hm? I’ve…never seen a maid in real life before. And it’s even the real kind.”

“…It’s a bit uncomfortable having them glancing in from outside, so why not let them come in too? There are extra seats anyway, and it’s better to keep them close to each other so they do not feel like they have to wait around out there.”

“Hmm….I’m a bit hesitant, but fine, I’ll let them in.”

The visit itself should have been okay anyway. It’s not a problem if you think about it that way. Except for the fact that they are wearing a maid’s uniform.

When the teacher went to call them, they slipped in and became like air.

“By the way, we have had no particular contact about you two, so don’t get injured.”

The teacher leaves the classroom and the students begin to clamour.

After a while, Tomohiro and Suguru come over.

” “Hi” “

” “Good day.” “

“Looks like they’ve added a video to the official trailer. It’s about the camping event. There’s a commercial version and a longer version.”

“It was late this time, wasn’t it?”

“Maybe because it was too long. Do you have time to watch it?

“I will!”

Abbie energetically answered the question of Tomohiro, so let’s take a look.

We start with the short commercial version.

“Oh, suddenly it’s the climax.”

“It’s Triffid.”

As Suguru and Tomohiro say, it suddenly started with the last boss of the event.

The story is played from different viewpoints, with ground and air units, and ends with the title logo after the boss is defeated and a big party is shown.

The video is quite dark, but…

“What is it?”

“Oh, isn’t this the time of that damn storm?”

“Ah… that was the work of the devil…”

“Uwa, bones.”

“Hmm?”

” 『You foolish human… I will make you regret this… hyahyahyahya!』”

“Fufu…this is that time with Ske-san! Oh, it’s over.”

This is the scene when Ske-san is blown away by the storm of the thunderstorm dragon and crawls back.

“Right. You were working in a party with the two of them during the event. It’s no wonder Kotone knows about it.”

“I also took a video of that scene, so I’ll upload it when I get home. That is, if they don’t spoil the story in the long version.”

“Then let’s see the long one.”

It’s a horror scene after editing, but it’s originally a story video…That scene.

The long video was a digest version of each day.

The first day is terrible. It’s like a collection of victims who have picked up and eaten things. This is awful. It’s a picture of hell with sudden rampages and collapses.

And after all, the 4th day was the most interesting. Everyone looks pretty desperate, but it’s interesting to look at. It’s a horrible story.

“I’ll post a video when I get back home. With the title “The Truth About the Trailer”… “

“I’ll look forward to it”

Then I had a class, my sister came over at lunchtime and froze when she saw Ellie and Abbie, and then I got a lift home.

Now, let’s play the game.

I post the video up on the site and then log into the game.

It’s time for a chat with King Woofwoof. Useful information pops out a lot, so I need to be alert.

“How about «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion»? Are you able to use it properly?”

“Isn’t it simply a passive skill?”

“Mm……?”

That’s an amazing “What are you talking about?” look that he is giving me.

«Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» is a skill that adds corrections to «Detection» and «Sensing», and also to deviation prediction and magic range prediction, right? Isn’t it a passive skill? The reason it’s going up on its own is because it’s linked to the 3D map in my brain with the Silver Key, right?

“Oh, am I misunderstanding something?”

“….. For now, try to disable the «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» and remove the Silver Key.”

As I was told, I remove the silver key…but there is still a 3D map in my brain. The recognisable distance has dropped sharply, but…isn’t it too much?

When I disable «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» the 3D map in my brain disappears.

“This map…wasn’t the inherent ability of the Silver Key…”

“Rather, the Silver Key enhances that ability. Originally, they are all only skills.”

“I’ve learned that the Silver Key is quite wonderful.”

“‘Of course. Who do you think made it?”

It was Rarity Go, wasn’t it? This is also one that Stellura-sama made?

I re-equip the skill and Silver Key.

“So, do you know how to use it?”

“No, not really, to be honest.”

“Hmm. …… What’s the problem?”

“I simply can’t handle it.”

“Are you human over there? Is it purely a matter of processing power? That’s a shame.”

“The time lag of switching is troublesome. It is certainly convenient to see outside the field of view.”

“…..Mm? Are you still relying on visual information? Let’s crush your eyes.”

As expected of the Outer Ones. That idea is outrageous.

“Once you get used to «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion», eyesight is just a degraded version, yes?”

“Will I be able to recognise colours?”

“Yes. I mean, if you want to be one of us, you’ll have to leave your eyes behind. How many species don’t have eyes?　I don’t have any.”

……Certainly?

Speaking of which, Alf-san also said that the height he sees from is the position where the head would be, but since he does not have one, he can see behind himself.

But I have never seen the «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» on the BBS. I think slimes and golems have a different way of seeing, including Alf-san’s….

It’s a rare skill costing 16 SP, unlocked by the Silver Key. Release conditions other than the Silver Key are likely to be quite strict.

“Muu…”

“If you give up the light, your other abilities will be enhanced. You’ve got the Silver Key.

“What do you mean?

I’ve heard that, in essence…. Those who are born with defects tend to have higher levels of other abilities.

If you can’t see from the time you are born, your ears will improve. Being able to distinguish between multiple sounds and echolocation like bats, etc. If you are deaf, you may be able to read the other person’s facial expressions, or the movement of their lips, the so-called lipreading…

I’m not saying it’s easy, though. The penalty of deficiency may be an inconvenience, but it is not necessarily a disadvantage….. is what he said. This is because it means that there are other resources that can be used……

In my case it’s really simple.

There are two types of information: the information from the eyes and the information from the «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» in the brain. If you find it difficult to make this conscious switch, close your eyes from the start. There is no need for a hybrid.

The problem is that we are using a degraded product, the eyes, even though there is a superior product to begin with…..So King Woofwoof is saying. He says that hybrids do have multiple good points, but they are completely degraded products and should be discarded.

If you can’t tell the colour yet, why don’t you open your eyes only when you want to know the colour? And so on.

Yes, it’s really simple, put that way.

If you concentrate on the «Spatial Awareness Expansion», you can improve your skill level…..But I don’t want to say goodbye until I get used to it.

For the time being, I will consider purchasing a blindfold or eye mask… I can consult with Dantel-san about that.

The problem is overcoming the fear when I close my eyes and focus solely on «Spatial Awareness Expansion»… This is the tricky part. I need to become able to act using only the 3D map in my brain. This will vary considerably from person to person.

There is no choice but to try out different ways of seeing until I feel comfortable. It is said that “people are creatures that adjust to anything”, so let’s hope that I get used to things quickly.

In terms of the game, there is a skill called blindness that only works when you are in an abnormal state…. I don’t know if it works with the common darkness or not, but it’s worth a try……

With the meat being kneaded by the magic machine, I head towards the bread machine.

From the inventory in the UI of the fully automatic bread maker….Set strong flour, medium-strength flour, weak flour, and whole grain flour. Set salt, sugar, raw yeast, instant yeast, and raisin natural yeast from the magical seasoning set.

After copying the recipes I have registered, select the one I want to make from the recipes, enter the amount to make, and leave it alone.

The set ingredients will be reduced to the required amount and mixed on their own. With a click it is fermented and formed, then another click and it comes out ready for baking.

It’s amazing how automatic it is. The speed of this process seems to be affected by the concentration of mana. In other words, how much energy is in the surroundings for the machine to work with…

There was a slot to set magic stones in the UI, but since it is used for alchemy I’ll pass. It seems that the fuel costs for the housing magic devices are going to rise somewhat….

Let the smoker also set the raw materials and make some jerky. It sells well. Rather, it is the mainstay of cooking.

Holy Punica soaked in white liquor is selected…MP has decreased considerably. Did this guy belong to the spatial family?

The key reduces it by half and the title reduces it by about 5%, so it’s a lot more useful. It’s nice and easy to increase the time you can skip at once.

The honey from the army bees is also used to make honey wine. Of course, the water I use is the Water of Recollection.

It’s nice and easy that I don’t need to leave this area.

After the bread comes out of the machine and is baking in the oven, I decide on the proportions of the tea and on the intestine stuffing.

Unlike real work, it doesn’t have to be to everyone’s taste. In fact, it’s more fun on the BBS if there is a difference between creators.

Find out who makes your favourite flavours and you’ll find your favourite cook. Sometimes it’s nice to try someone elses food….It’s good to be a bit adventurous.

The barbecue sauce and yakiniku sauce came in the barbecue set, so I’ll avoid it as it’s used quite often. Herbs from the west were obtained through Megan-san’s connections. I made herb salt for steaks. During the trials, I made the most unpleasant combination, but it was an accident.

The intestine stuffing is also creative. To be honest, the intestine stuffing accident was more difficult to handle than the herb salt accident. It’s the difference in the amount you can do at one time. I gave it as a gift to a well-timed visitor. I don’t think she was smiling when I gave it to her. Rina, who undoubtedly had a bad feeling about it, probably got her party members involved. I’m sorry. I’m sure there were a few victims as well, as she seems to have served one to Musasabi-san.

I like the refreshing herb and lemon stuffed intestines. Well, I had a hard time. I’ve got it down to a reasonable level, so I’m stopping for a while. I’ll do it again when I feel like it.

For the jerky too, I played a bit with the composition of the pickling salt. I prepared a lot of different herbs in small quantities, pickled a few slices with each, and smoked them together.

Currently, there are no different types of smoking chips, so it is better to find herbs that match the chips.

There are always sacrifices to be made in order to get a good taste. You can get the general idea from the perfume. A fragrance that doesn’t suit you will lead to nausea. Amen.

Blended teas were rather easy for me because I have real knowledge. The problem is that we don’t have many varieties yet, so we can’t make many combinations.

Saplings in the field, won’t you grow up quickly?　I’m looking forward to seeing how they taste.

Herb salt steak, lemon herb stuffed intestines and herb jerky are ready to be consigned.

Baguettes are served with soup, and dog bread is a hot dog. The jerky remains the same.

If I make a lot of magic paper, I can make talismans anywhere, so I was making them in the intervals.

By the way, 30 of «Cook» gave [Magical Select]. I can now select the buff effect of the dish. The buff effect you can choose seems to follow the original rules, but it’s nice to know that if a buff is going to be attached, it will definitely be the one I want.

I also want to hunt, but considering the book of Eibon, I want to raise the language first. If I have more than three hours of free time, I can study the language.

However, studying all the time is a bit dull, so it’s better to spend the holidays hunting, and after returning home from school, work on the «Ancient Divine Linguistics».

Then, before going to bed, I do some crafting and send my creations to the consignment shop. Once the language is finished, I will be free to hunt or walk around the town looking for events. Well, it’s still a long way off.

It’s a good idea to check the libraries regularly. «Intuition»’s activations can be rather discreet.

Well, I’ve achieved some conditions… It’s too much work to read them all from one side to the other, so this method is fine.

<Specific requirements were fulfilled, «Alchemycraft»’s Extra Art has been added.>

[Ex Magicise]

　By transforming food into magical power, species that are originally unable to eat will be able to eat.

　If the food is left unattended for too long, it will dissipate, but there are no other changes.

It seems that you need 30 «Cook» and 30 «Alchemycraft», after which it will be unlocked.

With this, the races that could not eat before, such as Alf-san, Ske-san and the twins, can now benefit from the cooking buffs.

But even without the cooking buff, their original stats were still high. The most important thing is that….you can now eat delicious food without worrying about your race.

What kind of thing…is magical power that can convey taste. Hm…I am very curious.

That being said, I will only [Magicise] the dishes that provide buffs for now. Considering the amount of work involved, the others are a bit more troublesome. With a stall, you can [Magicise] what they want, but not so with consignment.

I also want to improve the alchemy formation… I don’t have enough time.

Should maxing out «Ancient Divine Linguistics» be given top priority? The combat skill side of things will become a bit disappointing if I skip them on the weekend though. If I were to use the experience ticket of the weekly reward, it should be the combat one..

But the Book of Eibon. I want to decrypt it as soon as possible.

A super-ancient spellbook that is said to be the culmination of dark myths and spells. It contains knowledge, rituals, and spells about Tsathoggua, Yog-Sothoth, Ubbo-Sathla, and Azathoth.

In this game, Azathoth is Creall-sama and Yog-Sothoth is Stellura-sama. It’s the Demon King Azathoth and the Viceroy Yog-Sothoth. In the Cthulhu mythos, these two gods are exceptional.

The Book of Eibon is a book that contains knowledge of these gods, how to summon them and how to get rid of them, and many other spells. ….It contains a lot of forbidden knowledge that is also missing from the Necronomicon. It’s clear how dangerous this book is.

However, that is just the original setting. Creall and Stellura are friendly.

In this game, as the description says, it’s a spellbook. It provides a nice boost to both magic and alchemy. Well, I don’t know if anyone other than Immortals can get it.

In the end, I have no choice but to do it step by step.

I can decide when the information on the next official event is release… I think it will be soon. Oh, looks like it was updated during dinner.

The third official event 『Fantasy Sports Day 』.

We will be holding a dangerous sports day, where rivals will be cut down and and arrows and magic will be flying.

　Throw away sportsmanship and aim for first place.

　History is written by the victor. The dead have no say.

　Or so we said….but it’s a festival, so please come and join us.

It’s a sports festival, but it’s a bloody festival. ……

All you have to do is enter the event you want to compete in by the day before the official event starts.

If you want to be on the same team at the sports event, you can set up a party on the day….However, for this event, from managements point of view, it is preferable to solo as much as possible.

The date and time of the event can be found on the competition entry page.

Of course, you can also just watch the event from the UI. However, spectators will only receive a participation prize, so it is recommended that you participate in at least one event.

Target shooting

　Shoot the target with your bow or magic!

Magical Volleyball

　Fight brilliantly with arts and magic!

Hunting Competition

　Enemies drawn by lottery appear! Defeat them and bring back the dropped items!

Borrowing Race

　Bring someone who meets the conditions drawn by lottery! And refuse the enemy’s demands with force!

Panjandrum Rolling

Carry the panjandrum to the goal without it exploding!

Soul Collection

　Collect more souls than the enemy by killing the mobs around the basket!

1 point for ground, 2 points for flying, 3 points for opponents, -2 points for allies.

Obstacle Course

Go through various traps and reach the goal!

Treasure Hunt

　Find the material you drew in the raffle!　You are disqualified if you die.

Tuna Pull

　There is nothing ordinary, like a rope. Try to catch the biggest tuna you can within the time limit. You are disqualified if you die.

PvP

　Free For All

　　There are enemies all around you!

　Kill Confirmed

　　Touch the enemies you have killed to confirm their death!

　Conquest

　　Super large-scale battlefield game!

Business is also a Battle

　Stalls can be set up in the event area.

　Voting system for each category.

There are so many… Hmm… You can play in up to 4 competitions. You have to be careful not to overlap the event times. I could also participate in the stalls…. But I want to move.

Panjandrum Rolling… It is that weird British weapon, the panjandrum, isn’t it? Well, unfortunately, Panjandrum Rolling and Obstacle Course are rejected because of my status. I can’t do the running ones.

Hunting Competition, Borrowing Race, Soul Collection … If I do PvP, is it Frifo? Frifo is solo. Kilcon is a party battle. Conquest is a team battle.

The slow movement is quite a disadvantage, isn’t it? Neither Kilcon nor Conquest is suitable. Conquest seems to allow riding, but wyvern is difficult as there will be flying enemies. It’s a horse at best.

In my case, Frifo would be easier.

So, when the entry starts, let’s do the hunting, borrowing, soul collecting, and Frifo.

The main event will be held on the third Saturday of September. This will be the first event for the third batch.

By this time, I hope to have my «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» up to a practical level. If I do that, I’ll have a big advantage in Frifo.

I’ve been working hard for the last few days, both meditating and acting, and now I know the specific reason for my fear. It’s a difference in the way we see, of course.

The field of vision of the eyes is fan-shaped. The range of vision with the «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» is a sphere around me. This difference is more complicated than I thought.

Even if you can’t see far due to vision problems, you can still see that there is something…. But with the «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion», while you can see clearly within a certain range, the vision cuts off after that distance.

If you don’t increase the distance you can perceive by increasing your «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion», arrows and magic will suddenly fly at you, even if the enemy is right in front of you.

If you want to put it a different way….If you were to put a lantern on your head, in a pitch-black space, you can only see the illuminated area. This is «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion».

The eyes are not lanterns, but flashlights or headlights.

In a game with a bird’s eye view….It is the difference between conquering a dark map with a lantern and conquering it with a torch.

Both have advantages and disadvantages…

In everyday life, for example, looking for people. Even in a crowd, you can search even behind. But you cannot see anyone in the distance. You can’t even see their clothes. If the object you are looking for is out of range, you will not be able to see it unless you move. In fact, it could be you only need to take two steps to the right, but wouldn’t even know it.

In combat, the problem is the long range enemies. You can see where they’re coming from, but you can’t fight back because you don’t know the distance, location or even the terrain. You can send arrows back at them, but to where? Is it within range to use coordinate targeted explosion magic? It is doubtful that the coordinates are correct in the first place. It’s also mystery whether or not you hit.

All these problems are due to the fact that the distance of the «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» is too small. In other words, the lack of skill level of this skill is a very serious problem. To put it bluntly, if you don’t raise the skill level, it’s a rubbish skill.

Currently, it is within a reasonable range. If I close my eyes, it is just about practical. I think it’s almost there, but…Well, there are is still time before the event, so it will be a bit wider on the day.

I don’t have enough level in the skill yet to be able to detect colour. In other words, I have to do my cooking with my eyes, or else it will fail horribly.

<Honehone has come to visit.>

Oh, it’s Ske-san.

<Honehone has come to visit.>

<Honehone has come to visit.>

<Honehone has come to visit.>

<Honehone has come to visit.>

<Honehone has come to visit.>

Wait? Shall we go outside?

Huh, not at the statue.

<Honehone has come to visit.>

<Honehone has come to visit.>

<Honehone has come to visit.>

<Honehone has come to visit.>

<Honehone has come to visit.>

<Honehone has come to visit.>

…..Oh, I understand.

“So you were repeatedly jumping”

“Hi Princess! How was it?”

“The log was flowing.”

“Oh, after all?”

There will be a notification when someone enters, so if you repeatedly jump sideways at the boundary of the palace, you can do a complete notification bomb.

What an abuse.

“Does it make a good story?”

“Rather, it’s just a one-liner.”

If they did it again and again, it’s enough to make someone mad.

In the case of my home, only Immortals who have cleared the trials of the Nether can do it. Otherwise you can’t step outside.

“Anyway, Princess, let’s go to the fourth area on Saturday?”

“Which direction?”

“Where would you like to go?”

“Well, I’ve only opened the third area to the north-east and east.”

“We don’t use potions. We want to level up, so maybe we should go east?”

“That’s fine. What time do you want to start?”

“In the afternoon, maybe. After lunch!”

“All right. To Finfelden then.”

“You know the name?”

“Oh, yes. Do you want to go north-east?　That’s closer to the dungeon.”

“Oh, nice. There is a dungeon?”

“The dungeon is located in the north-east, diagonally down to the right from Val Owasse. From Finfelden, it’s two areas to the north. According to Sophie-san.”

“Hmm. Then, let’s open up the northeast. If we have time, should we open the east? I’m interested in the dungeon.”

“So we’ll meet at Felforge after lunch?”

“Yes, thank you!”

I thought it was about time, but as I expected, the invitation to the fourth area came.

First we have to open up the north-east, which is probably the dungeon. If we want to open up the east, a party is good, but it doesn’t mean we have to open it right away.

If that happens, you won’t be able to resist the desire to go, so it’s probably going to be the dungeon. Depending on the strength of the enemy in the lower right corner and the strength of the enemy in the dungeon, we might have to turn back, but in that case we can just go and open up the east area.

“So, how is Princess these days?”

“I’ve been spending a lot of time on linguistics lately, so I haven’t been able to move at all.”

“You’re not moving at all?”

“Three in five hours in real life. Ten in a day in the game.”

“Six in ten hours …”

“I wonder if I’ll be able to make it in time with linguistics…before the Sports event. I’ve been working on it for a little while before I go to bed, so I’m sure I’m getting better….”

“Oh, I saw the information about the event. Have you decided what you’re going to do?”

“It’s two for one, isn’t it, that Frifo?”

“Oh, you’re going to PvP?”

“It’s free for all, so it should be okay… I mean, there is a lot of potential to run into PvP.”

“Well sure”

After that, I talk with Ske-san for a little while before we separate.

Before going to bed, the usual trip to the Union to deal with consignment, then log out.
