“STR is attack power, right? If I’m correct… Looks like I’ve done it?”
Even Kaede, who doesn’t play a lot of games, guessed that having zeros lined up on your status isn’t good. Even if she looked at her life until now, more things weren’t good than if they were zero.
What Kaede noticed after checking her status one by one, was that her VIT could only, somehow, give her some little protection, but having no INT, she was unable to use magic for a while. I had no AGI and also didn’t have DEX.
“I feel like I washed up… I got excited and put all my skill points on my attack. What should I do? Yuki is not here to tutor me.”
Kaede was groaning and after a few minutes of thinking, the idea she came up with was to go fight monsters one time for the time being. If it can't work, then it cannot be helped.
At that time I’ll do it once more.
Kaede thought and looked up at the clear blue sky optimistically.
“I should go out of the town… Yes, let’s go out!”
Excitedly she goes out. But once she started walking. She notices something different. Kaede thought that everyone around her was moving so fast toward the outside of the town.
“ are people walking so fast?! I feel like I’m an old granny compared to them.”
The effect of having no AGI. Having no AGI her max moving speed is like when she was walking in real life. Even if she tries to run, that is just her max speed. This game is set up like that to balance the game in case there are pro athletes who decide to join the game.
Her sword is not that heavy, but decent. Her armor is just a thing of dull-looking clothes. She is looking pathetic, trying her best to walk as fast as she can.
The players around her took a glance at her, saying,
“Look at that cute girl.”
“So cute… A middle schooler?”
But still, without being discouraged by that. She walked and tried her best to reach the gate leading to the outside of the town.
Even on the outside of the town, although not as many as inside, there were people. If she fought there, there would be at least one who might witness her.
“I don’t want to look uncool and lame… I’ll go a little more until I make it to the gate. Go a little more distant…”
Just like that, Kaede walked to the forest outside the town. It took some time but she made it. Looking around the forest. She noticed that there were no people on it. Maybe it’s because it's nighttime already in real life.
The night and day cycle is not included in the game. Some places always have the sun and some locations on the map with the moon shining. In starting town. The scenery is always clear on sunny days and peaceful looking. No matter what time Kaede logs in. She wouldn’t see the town starting in the nighttime.
“Yosh! It’s okay if it’s here… Mister monster, you can come from whatever you want! I the great swordsman will defeat you.”
It’s unknown if it reacted to Kaede’s voice, but a white slime appeared before her eyes. It jumps out from the bushes. The white slime then charges toward Kaede at a good speed.
Does anyone who has the max speed of walking in real life dodge a tackle of slime? The answer is no.
“I’m sorry!”
It’s unknown what part Kaede was apologizing for, but when Kaede instinctively pulled her sword, she said that. The slime attacks with its soft body on Kaede's belly.
“It doesn’t hurt… It’s like a soft plushie being pushed on me… It doesn’t hurt at all. I didn’t expect this. Fufufu… Hows that, mister slime, my abs are sturdy as a rock.”
Being full of herself, Kaede just stands while the slime continues to tackle her.
The white slime that attacked her is a rare white slime monster that only occurs 0.00001%. It’s legendary and only a few people know about it. The white slime has no attack damage but it will give players huge experience points.
This is the first time Akede feels like she is stronger than anything in her entire life. She enjoys the feeling.
“Just do your best… Fufufufu…”
The slime was relentlessly charging again and again. “Fufufufu” and Kaede, who received that while laughing.
For some reason, Dumping Kaede enjoys the moment without knowing. The battle lasted for an hour straight. An ordinary player will never have enough temper to wait for that long. But Kaede is a special case.
“Come on, come here… make a lot of effort to make your mother who gave birth to you proud! Don’t give up white slime!”
Kaede provoked the white slime a lot. After enjoying the moment, Kaede became bored and looked at the slime coldly.
(Skill acquired: Provoke.)
“What is this? Provoke a skill to pull the monster toward the user?”
The slime continuously attacks her, but Kaede, after one hour, doesn’t care that much anymore.
Provoke requirements: Provoking a monster in one hour.
It’s a secret skill created by the game developer and ever since the game was established five years ago, no one has ever got the skill. This is the first time this miracle has ever happened.
“This takes too much time… Time to end this.”
Kaede attacks the slime and slices it in half. The slime then turned into shining particles and disappeared. It disappeared without a trace.
“Mister Slime, this is the cruelty of the world. Some people are born stronger than you.”
Kaede said not because she was evil or anything. She just says those words because she is into violent manga and anime these days. She just wants to be cool.
(Your level has risen to level 5)
“Looks like I can cut it in one clean hit. Also, that slime is weird. It gives me lots of experience points. Anyway, my sword is so strong. I will hunt all the slime I see.”
Kaede said and gripped her sword.
From slimes to little insects and some small wolf monsters. She defeated them without any ease.
Her STR 130 is too much for monsters living in the forest. All monsters just after receiving one hit of Kaede’s blade disappear in light particles.
She is an absolute monster. But the catch was simple. She couldn’t walk around to hunt them. Just if she walked, her stamina would be decreased and she wouldn’t be able to move for a while.
That’s why she just stands in the middle of the forest using her provoking skill and pulls the monster toward her direction. And once the monster goes into her attacking zone. She slimes them immediately with her insane attack damage.
A newbie player walked and passed by seeing her mercilessly s***h the monster. The newbie girl player looked at her and shouted.
“How can you kill cute innocent monsters! You heartless girl!”
Upon hearing that, Kaede’s body shakes and she sheds a tear.
“I’m… heartless?”
“That’s right you heartless monster… your more monster than those cute monsters you killed.”
The girl then runs away hugging a cute slime monster in her arms.
“Wait! Wait! In not heartless!”
Kaede’s scream echoed in the forest.
