2. Fully-immersive games, in which
the users wear VR headsetsCopy !req
3. to play as fully-realized
denizens of a fictional world...Copy !req
4. are dominating the gaming world.Copy !req
5. The pinnacle of these VR games,
boasting over 30 million players worldwide,Copy !req
6. is known as a god-tier game.Copy !req
7. Its name...Copy !req
8. is Shangri-La Frontier!Copy !req
9. Run, Fueled by ImpatienceCopy !req
10. What?Copy !req
11. Another playe—er, pioneer—
is in the Palace of Rabituza?Copy !req
12. Right-o!Copy !req
13. I've found a human worthily acknowledged
by Siegwurm, the Golden Dragon King.Copy !req
14. That's what Big Bro Ceecrue said!Copy !req
15. Siegwurm's a unique monster, right?Copy !req
16. And a new Emul sibling on top of it all...Copy !req
17. There's another player that
met the extremely difficultCopy !req
18. trigger conditions for
"Invitation from Rabituza"...Copy !req
19. Unique Scenario
Invitation from RabituzaCopy !req
20. Required Level 80Copy !req
21. Does that mean...Copy !req
22. There's a good chance that
other player is gonna reach theCopy !req
23. Bonus Unique Scenario "Vorpal Epic"Copy !req
24. that I've had to myself all this time!Copy !req
25. Not good! This is super not good!Copy !req
26. I-It's good to see you so energetic on
your return to Rabituza, Sunraku-san!Copy !req
27. I had a huge advantage 'cause I was
the only one who knew about it...Copy !req
28. If the deets about Invitation from Rabituza
make it onto the net, Wolfgang's gonna...Copy !req
29. no, I'm gonna lose my ace in the hole!Copy !req
30. I'm already dealing with the
ticking time bomb of SF-Zoo!Copy !req
31. If they learn about the
Bonus Unique Scenario in Rabituza,Copy !req
32. even Schwarz Vulf and the Library
might start sniffing around,Copy !req
33. and I'll never hear the end of it!Copy !req
34. Should I talk to Pencilgon about it?Copy !req
35. No, no time for that.Copy !req
36. I gotta make it to Fifticia
tomorrow by 8 A.M.Copy !req
37. for my meet-up with Rust and Mold.Copy !req
38. But... I can't just ignore this...Copy !req
39. Sunraku-san?Copy !req
40. I'm going in circles!Copy !req
41. Emul. Do you know the name of that playe—Copy !req
42. I mean, that pioneer?Copy !req
43. Pubbebow bemah cebebboo...Copy !req
44. Huh? What was that?Copy !req
45. Ahhiihoohahahe...Copy !req
46. Um...Copy !req
47. Indeed, of the truest of mettle!Copy !req
48. It was my hope that I might
introduce them to our father...Copy !req
49. But, ah, come this way!Copy !req
50. Meet my sister, Emul!Copy !req
51. Ah, yes! Ceecrue-san!Copy !req
52. It's a pleasure to meet you, Emul-san!Copy !req
53. I'm Akitsuakane!Copy !req
54. AkitsuakaneCopy !req
55. That's what she said!Copy !req
56. Akitsuakane...Copy !req
57. Not any player I've ever heard of.Copy !req
58. Figures, though. SLF has
over 30 million players.Copy !req
59. Compared to only a few thousand for BERP.Copy !req
60. Singling out any one person would be
like looking for a needle in a haystack.Copy !req
61. But... if I act now,
it might not be too late.Copy !req
62. Not too late for what?Copy !req
63. I'd like to talk to this Akitsuakane lady.Copy !req
64. Is she still in the palace?Copy !req
65. She said she was going
to sleep until dad—Copy !req
66. Until the boss returns!Copy !req
67. She's logged out, huh?Copy !req
68. And where's Ceecrue,
your bro who brought her here?Copy !req
69. I'm afraid I couldn't tell you.
Big Bro Ceecrue simply vanished!Copy !req
70. They're not making this easy.Copy !req
71. Nah, calm down, man.Copy !req
72. This is a form of RNG.Copy !req
73. Can I pull the number I need to make sure
Akitsuakane doesn't spread the info...Copy !req
74. RNGCopy !req
75. I'm doomed. The RNG always screws me.Copy !req
76. What's an arr-en-gee?Copy !req
77. The rules that govern the world.Copy !req
78. Anyway, what I should focus on now...Copy !req
79. is heading for Fifticia.Copy !req
80. First, go from the Ruins of
Past Glories to Eleventar,Copy !req
81. then past the Lightless Barrens,
and you find Fifticia.Copy !req
82. Pretty long way, huh?Copy !req
83. Can I make it there by 8 tomorrow?Copy !req
84. I've so looked forward to traveling again!Copy !req
85. Sorry, Emul, but you gotta stay here.Copy !req
86. I-I demand an explanation!Copy !req
87. This constant abandonment
is becoming intolerable!Copy !req
88. It's because I have an extremely
crucial task to assign you!Copy !req
89. A crucial task? Extremely crucial?Copy !req
90. Yeah.Copy !req
91. Akitsuakane will return to the
Palace of Rabituza to see Aniki Vash.Copy !req
92. When that happens, Emul...Copy !req
93. I want you to contact me,
and try to hold her here.Copy !req
94. I fail to understand why, but I just
need to stand guard in Rabituza?Copy !req
95. That's right! Counting on you.Copy !req
96. I'll do my best!Copy !req
97. I'm used to it by now,Copy !req
98. but she's almost too easy to manipulate.Copy !req
99. Well, I'd like a gate to Eighthold now!Copy !req
100. Righty-o!Copy !req
101. Thought I heard some commotion in here.Copy !req
102. So the bird-man's back?Copy !req
103. Hey, Ancient Craftsman.Copy !req
104. Bubbuss Burr?Copy !req
105. I'm in kind of a hurry. What's up?Copy !req
106. Don't "what's up" me!Copy !req
107. You cannot have my carrot!Copy !req
108. Didn't want it!Copy !req
109. It's finished!Copy !req
110. What is?Copy !req
111. Wait, you mean...Copy !req
112. Yeah.Copy !req
113. I used the Crystal Scorpion and
Goldy Scorpion materials...Copy !req
114. to create my ultimate masterpiece!Copy !req
115. The Re-Legacy Weapon gauntlets,Copy !req
116. the Gilta Brille!Copy !req
117. Ta-da!Copy !req
118. Re-Legacy Weapon
Gilta BrillCopy !req
119. They're freaking huge!Copy !req
120. Is this the weapon I asked you for?Copy !req
121. It's just what you asked for. See...Copy !req
122. So you want me to make
you a twin sword, right?Copy !req
123. Nah.Copy !req
124. I gotta expand my combat repertoire.Copy !req
125. Make me one of those.Copy !req
126. Make me some gauntlets
for hand-to-hand combat.Copy !req
127. That's what you asked for.Copy !req
128. I did ask for that, but I didn't
expect 'em to be this big.Copy !req
129. Do I stick 'em on my arms?Copy !req
130. 'Course you do!Copy !req
131. I put a ton of care into
forging those, got it?Copy !req
132. Especially the Divinity-era technology,
which allows for voice—Copy !req
133. Cool, cool.Copy !req
134. I'll play around with 'em in the field.Copy !req
135. Don't you wanna hear how I did it?Copy !req
136. Sorry, but I'm in a hurry.Copy !req
137. I'll come back to tell
you how they worked out.Copy !req
138. I'll be glad to hear your stories then.Copy !req
139. Emul can hear all about it in the meantime.Copy !req
140. But I'm not interested
in her stories at all...Copy !req
141. No sweat. Just nod along
and tell her she's great.Copy !req
142. Picture yourself as a bobblehead.Copy !req
143. A bob-bull-head?Copy !req
144. You stupid, little...Copy !req
145. Can't you see what an awesome
thing I made for you?Copy !req
146. G-Gotta go!Copy !req
147. That was close.Copy !req
148. Good luck with your assignment, Emul!Copy !req
149. Now, how to get from here in EightholdCopy !req
150. to Fifticia before tomorrow...Copy !req
151. Sunraku
Mercenary (Twin Blade User) Skill Points Remaining: 150
Cash on Hand 62,000 MahniCopy !req
152. I'm Level 99 now, and this is
later-game content areas...Copy !req
153. Hey, what's this "extend" thing?Copy !req
154. Can I up my max level somehow?Copy !req
155. Have to look into that later.Copy !req
156. Still, I'm gonna be heading
into new territory for now.Copy !req
157. Playing so far has made it clear
I can't just solo everything.Copy !req
158. Since I'm in a hurry, it sure
would be nice to have help...Copy !req
159. Nope, nope, nope.Copy !req
160. They'll put the thumbscrews on me in no time.Copy !req
161. Better rule those two out.Copy !req
162. Who else do I know in the game?Copy !req
163. The guys from the conference...Copy !req
164. Wonder if that one'll help me...Copy !req
165. Doubt it, but it can't hurt to ask.Copy !req
166. Schwarz Vulf HQCopy !req
167. For me?Copy !req
168. Who's it from?Copy !req
169. Animalia.Copy !req
170. It seems they've taken interest in Lycagon.Copy !req
171. Figured the furry brigade would
get to that sooner or later.Copy !req
172. Wish we had some info to give them!Copy !req
173. I got a letter from
Animalia this morning too!Copy !req
174. Looks like Psyger-0 got one, too.Copy !req
175. Guess they're hitting
every lead they can get.Copy !req
176. Feel free to ignore them.Copy !req
177. I'll send a response on
the whole group's behalf.Copy !req
178. What is it?Copy !req
179. I'm going to log out for a minute.Copy !req
180. What happened there?Copy !req
181. No idea.Copy !req
182. SaigaCopy !req
183. What do I do?Copy !req
184. I-It's finally...Copy !req
185. Here!Copy !req
186. The day is finally here!Copy !req
187. H-Hizutome-kun...
i-invited me to play with him!Copy !req
188. Constant ProgressCopy !req
189. Huh? She logged out?Copy !req
190. Did I hit her up at the exact wrong time?Copy !req
191. She's kinda my only lifeline, though...Copy !req
192. Darn it.Copy !req
193. Th-The heck you say?Copy !req
194. Cannot equip weapon due to insufficient stats.Copy !req
195. Gilta BrillCopy !req
196. Required StatsCopy !req
197. Cannot EquipCopy !req
198. I need a vitality of 300?Copy !req
199. Another thing I can't equip?Copy !req
200. Every freaking time! Damn it!Copy !req
201. Gilta Brill's description made it sound
like it had so much cool stuff, too!Copy !req
202. Wait a sec. You can boost your
VIT with equipment, right?Copy !req
203. I repaired the Spiked Battlehelm [4A].Copy !req
204. And it gives a VIT bonus of...Copy !req
205. Spiked Battlehelm [4A]Copy !req
206. Yes! 500!Copy !req
207. Tat-ta-ta!Copy !req
208. With this baby, I can equip
the Gilta Brill, no prob!Copy !req
209. Vitality was a moot point
during the Wethermon fight,Copy !req
210. so I was just focused on the
fact that it could parry,Copy !req
211. but it really gives a huge VIT bonus!Copy !req
212. Boy, glad I had this baby made.Copy !req
213. Bilac can do it all!Copy !req
214. Yeah, as long as you get what you want.Copy !req
215. Now if I pour the rest of my points
into Tech and Strength, I'll be good.Copy !req
216. Using the 4A like transformation gearCopy !req
217. to bust out the Gilta Brill
is gonna feel good, man.Copy !req
218. Psyger-0's reply?Copy !req
219. Please forgive the lateness of my reply.Copy !req
220. Thank you for your invitation.Copy !req
221. I would be delighted to accompany
you on your adventure.Copy !req
222. I have enclosed a place and time to meet—Copy !req
223. Typical stiff-as-a-board writing,Copy !req
224. but it looks like she'll help
me clear my way through!Copy !req
225. Yeah, awesome!Copy !req
226. Now, she wants to meet up...
in the eleventh town, Eleventar.Copy !req
227. That's right past the Ruins of Past Glories.Copy !req
228. If I wanna meet up with Rust and Mold
in Fifticia by 8 tomorrow morning,Copy !req
229. I'll have to hook up with Psyger-0
and really tear through it.Copy !req
230. Awright! It's a race against time!Copy !req
231. Time to beat that area boss ASAP!Copy !req
232. I did some online research about Fifticia,
the place where Rust and Mold are waiting.Copy !req
233. SLF splits into three basic
routes coming out of Thirdrema.Copy !req
234. Fourfolkshire RouteCopy !req
235. Fivelle RouteCopy !req
236. Sixenveldt RouteCopy !req
237. FifticiaCopy !req
238. Apparently that's why there were three
main areas you could go to from Thirdrema.Copy !req
239. The route I took out of Fourfolkshire
is the most simple and straightforward,Copy !req
240. and it seems a lot of players pick it.Copy !req
241. One reason for thatCopy !req
242. is the area boss here at
the Ruins of Past Glories.Copy !req
243. Whoops!Copy !req
244. Made it already, eh?Copy !req
245. I've done all the pre-reading on you...Copy !req
246. area boss!Copy !req
247. The area boss of the Ruins of Past Glories...Copy !req
248. Its body, made out of heavy
machinery, scrap, and rubble,Copy !req
249. has characteristics that change at random,Copy !req
250. and it cycles through a series
of very effective attacks.Copy !req
251. In addition, because the rubble covering
its body is like powerful armor,Copy !req
252. it is difficult to deal it any damage.Copy !req
253. It is a giant boss befitting
a later-game area.Copy !req
254. Area Boss
Overdress GolemCopy !req
255. Overdress Golem...Copy !req
256. I'd heard it was big...Copy !req
257. But it's a freaking mountain!Copy !req
258. But I also know...Copy !req
259. you used to be widely feared,Copy !req
260. but then they found your weakpoint,Copy !req
261. and now you've been reduced to a speedrun
challenge for high-level players!Copy !req
262. The record for beating you is one minute.Copy !req
263. I'm gonna smash that record...Copy !req
264. with a sub-one-minute time!Copy !req
265. Nitro GainCopy !req
266. IgnitionCopy !req
267. Climax BoostCopy !req
268. Skate Foot!Copy !req
269. First get around behind it, then climb!Copy !req
270. Evolved form of Vorpal Blade
Tech ...Copy !req
271. Vorpal Secret...Copy !req
272. Waning Mirror!Copy !req
273. Vorpal SecretCopy !req
274. Vorpal SecretCopy !req
275. Instead of directing aggro
behind the target like beforeCopy !req
276. this skill leaves it in place.Copy !req
277. In other words, it creates a
decoy for just a few seconds!Copy !req
278. You'd normally want a tank
with you to manage aggro,Copy !req
279. but it's nice that I can do it myself!Copy !req
280. Then, the evolution of the Boat Leaps...Copy !req
281. Shana-Oh Incarnate!Copy !req
282. Shana-Oh IncarnateCopy !req
283. Unlike the Boat Leaps, which can only buff
your jumps a limited number of times,Copy !req
284. this one gives you unlimited
buffed jumps for thirty seconds!Copy !req
285. Walking up a path made out of rubble...Copy !req
286. This really is the "Ruins" of Past Glories...Copy !req
287. Decoy's out, huh?Copy !req
288. No footholds left,
but if I step off the air...Copy !req
289. The evolution of Skywalker...Copy !req
290. Flit Float!Copy !req
291. Flit FloatCopy !req
292. Flit FloatCopy !req
293. Now, time to go higher!Copy !req
294. Great Climb!Copy !req
295. Great ClimbCopy !req
296. I finally made itCopy !req
297. to the heavy machine I was looking for.Copy !req
298. From what previous players investigated,Copy !req
299. the two pillars that hold up
the wheel can be destroyed.Copy !req
300. If you knock off the wheel, it'll fall
in accordance with the physics engine.Copy !req
301. Then you can strike right at the
top of the Overdress Golem's head.Copy !req
302. That's its weak point.Copy !req
303. I couldn't have done that kind of
large-scale destruction before...Copy !req
304. But with this baby, I can
break the minute barrier!Copy !req
305. Let's break its head open, Gilta Brill!Copy !req
306. We don't wanna be late
to meet Psyger-0, do we?Copy !req
307. My meeting with Hizutome-kun
isn't for about an hour...Copy !req
308. But I just couldn't wait!Copy !req
309. Oh, so soon!Copy !req
310. SLF Theater!Copy !req
311. SLF MiniCopy !req
312. Mini!Copy !req
313. SLF TheaterCopy !req
314. Our Lady of Love, Eristella...Copy !req
315. At last, the time has come.Copy !req
316. Yes... I've scraped together
all the money I can,Copy !req
317. sometimes even stealing it,Copy !req
318. and have finally, I have what I need.Copy !req
319. Yes... I PKed a friend of mine on a lark,Copy !req
320. I couldn't earn it by honest means.Copy !req
321. In my desperation, I've had to skip
progress on the main scenario,Copy !req
322. to focus only on gathering money.Copy !req
323. To get the Saint's highly
restricted holy water!Copy !req
324. I'll use this to get your holy
water... the Saint's Holy Water!Copy !req
325. This is the beginning of
a new chapter of my life!Copy !req
326. And so, the new chapter of his life begins...Copy !req
327. Thanks for comin'.Copy !req
328. Whew, bought out all the Saint's Holy Water.Copy !req
329. It's so hard to get it outside the normal way.Copy !req
330. What a good buy.Copy !req
331. Sold Out of
Saint's Holy WaterCopy !req
332. No!Copy !req
333. Restock Date TBACopy !req
