1. Nobody likes a greedy little hoarder.

2. Everyone should be able to join in the fun

3. on these kinds of things.

4. Right, Revolutionary Knight Sunraku?

5. Pencil Knight.

6. You chose to show up now?

7. "Revolutionary Knight Sunraku."

8. A title that bears no significance in SLF.

9. However, it's a reminder of an old relationship

10. between Sunraku and a certain... -Besides...

11. purple-haired player from a certain old game.

12. I use that name in a different incarnation altogether.

13. Here, in the world of SLF, call me Arthur Pencilgon.

14. Ol' Pencil Knight and I've got

15. a trash game history.

16. Some dumb, new name won't change that.

17. Speaking of history, we can't go

18. any further without discussing a little ol' trash game

19. called "Unite The Rounds."

20. Take anything you want!

21. Just don't kill me!

22. Let's clean the place out, boys!

23. Kill anything that moves!

24. Yeah!

25. Dang, look what the old man's hiding down here!

26. - both chuckling] - Dude, what a haul!

27. Now, let's get the hell outta here!

28. This rules. I'm never grinding

29. for crappy drops again.

30. Grinding's over-rated, which is why I appreciate

31. you collecting all this loot for me!

32. The players referred to it

33. as a "Post-Apocalyptic Looting Simulator."

34. The game was created to simulate a medieval kingdom

35. on the verge of collapse.

36. You play as knights, enlisted to help protect

37. the realm from encroaching monsters in a gritty,

38. co-op, VR MMO world.

39. But since the devs prioritized

40. the realism of medieval squalor over, you know, actual fun,

41. the drop rates were so abysmal

42. that very few played the game as intended.

43. The rocks have a 40 percent drop rate?

44. You freaking kidding me?

45. Even one of the earliest quests

46. in the game, gathering medicinal herbs,

47. forced players to grind for upwards

48. of 12 real life hours before they'd find

49. what they needed.

50. Which meant that, naturally, higher quality items

51. were nearly impossible to find.

52. What was a player supposed to do?

53. The answer was simple...

54. steal it all.

55. "Find medicinal herbs? What, you expect me

56. to spend hours on my hands and knees,

57. picking through the weeds for that crap?

58. I'll just raid a vendor, or steal 'em

59. from another player who did the heavy lifting."

60. A sentiment shared by most in Unite the Rounds.

61. From the ashes of a digital world

62. in flames, where outrage was the norm

63. and everyone was an enemy, a lone figure rose,

64. fueled by unyielding violence and cunning, to take control

65. of the crumbling kingdom.

66. Okay guys, let's divy up all this treasure, shall we?

67. The kingdom is ours, noobs!

68. Pencil Knight, our Sister-in-Arms!

69. All hail, the Pencil Knight!

70. And so, the Pencil Kingdom was born.

71. Can I ask you somethin'?

72. Of course you can, ask away.

73. Aw, yeah, that's the good stuff!

74. Isn't this supposed to be a game

75. about defending a "kingdom in peril?"

76. Was that it? I thought it was about

77. overthrowing the big, bad communist dictator,

78. Pencil Knight!

79. As far as big bads go,

80. Pencil Knight was nothing

81. like your run-of-the-mill final boss.

82. She would abuse players

83. who didn't pledge fealty to her.

84. Then, use moles in the kingdom

85. to drum up phony resistance movements doomed to fail.

86. She conned her victims into sticking around

87. to try and defeat her, all so she could have

88. a player-base to keep looting.

89. I think it's time for a capitalist revolution!

90. Unite the Rounds

91. was an experience held hostage by the whims of one player.

92. A woman whose name was so synonymous

93. with power and injustice, she became known

94. as the Dystopian Empress.

95. The "rebel army" thing was just a clever diversion?

96. Helluva ruse to get to me. I'm mildly impressed.

97. For someone

98. with all the loot in the world,

99. your trap game is pretty weak.

100. Yeah, they were so easy

101. we broke through 'em on the first try!

102. Sunraku and Katzo Tataki.

103. Huh. Got it.

104. There's something about your goofy smirk,

105. it just really pisses me off.

106. If you wanna earn the title of Revolutionary Knights,

107. then get ready for the hardest

108. damn boss battle of your life!

109. So, basically...

110. she and I have a lotta history between us.

111. We fought each other to the death

112. in Unite the Rounds, which resulted in a draw.

113. But here, I've got a big level gap to contend with.

114. I voluntarily took the respawn penalty

115. and came all the way from Fifticia just to kill you.

116. You must be so grateful you wanna curl up

117. in a little ball and cry!

118. Your knives match your hair.

119. I bet they're as poisonous as you are.

120. And quite expensive for a single-use item,

121. you should feel flattered!

122. Since you've managed to survive this long,

123. what level are you, anyway?

124. If you just beat Mud Digger,

125. that puts you around level thirty?

126. You can dodge like a champ for such a lowbie.

127. This is actually a good game.

128. My movements are warm butta. See?

129. No way, is that really the Pencilgon?

130. She's a PKer.

131. From Ashura Kai clan.

132. Not only is she second in command,

133. but she's the Giant Killer!

134. Oh, dear! Oh, dear! Oh, dear!

135. The "Giant Killer?"

136. Oh, it's just an adorable little nickname people gave me

137. when I kept hunting down and taking out

138. higher level players, but then the devs

139. screwed everything up and nerfed the PvP mechanics

140. I was taking advantage of.

141. Now, hang on a kingdom-burning second.

142. In your Unite the Rounds dystopia, you were the giant

143. who got yourself killed!

144. Giants who live in glass houses shouldn't throw boulders!

145. Looks like someone decided to crack open a book

146. and level up their birdbrain while I was away!

147. You're gonna wish you never said that!

148. I've got a bird head not a bird brain,

149. you baby cloth diaper load!

150. Whoa. I wonder what's goin' on with those two?

151. I'll have you know. I'm not just here

152. for personal reasons.

153. Oh, no, no, no!

154. The head of Ashura Kai asked me to come

155. and find you and deliver a message!

156. Well, what is it?

157. "Tell us what you know

158. about the new unique scenario.

159. Or wear a target on your back

160. until we come beat it out of you!"

161. He has the balls

162. to try and threaten me?

163. Your friend sounds like

164. a real dumb-ass.

165. Oh, he is.

166. What's my next move, here?

167. The gear and level gap between us is way too

168. freakin' high.

169. If I were a bettin' man, I'd wager you really

170. don't want me going through that gate, do you?

171. And being the skeptic I am, I don't think

172. it's a coincidence that you showed up

173. right when I was about to walk into Thirdrema.

174. I dunno. Guess it wouldn't be too convenient

175. to PK in the middle of a town full of players and guards.

176. I'd certainly prefer to avoid

177. dragging the whole town in on it.

178. You won't get that far, anyway. Will you, now?

179. Oh, dear! Not my tail!

180. Sunraku, I don't think

181. I can hold it much longer!

182. My time's almost up.

183. My true form is starting to show!

184. Oh, come on! It's not fair!

185. I'm the one who found him first!

186. But the Giant Killer's too much

187. for me to handle.

188. Hang on, maybe his companion can help!

189. Wait. Was she always wearing

190. those weird ears and tail accessories?

191. H-Hey. sorry to bother you...

192. Whoa! What the...?

193. Emul!

194. Terrible timing, dude!

195. Ma'am, please! Calm yourself!

196. That's it!

197. Come on, am I too easy for you?

198. I wouldn't say that exactly.

199. But you're definitely holding back!

200. I wasn't born yesterday!

201. You finally caught on, huh?

202. Emul! C'mere!

203. Yes, sir!

204. Wait, please don't go!

205. At least let me get a screenshot with your bunny!

206. If we survive this, I promise

207. you I might think about it, maybe!

208. "If we survive?"

209. Nice try, old friend.

210. You're not fast enough to get away from me.

211. I don't give a damn about the player in the bird mask.

212. But if you're gonna endanger the life

213. of that precious little bunny...

214. the "Giant Killer" or not...

215. I'll slay you where you stand.

216. Oh, yeah, baby! I got her to buy us some time!

217. Animalia, was it?

218. Makes sense, she was goin' super gaga for Emul.

219. I've said it once, and I'll say it again,

220. you are one handy little mascot!

221. Now, we dash for the city.

222. Gotta find a dark alley to jump to Rabituza from!

223. I doubt anyone would be able to find us there!

224. Yes, I may be the only one

225. carrying the message.

226. But you need to listen more carefully

227. next time, I never said I came here alone.

228. Man, I hate that PKing low-level scrubs,

229. sends my bad karma points through the roof, like why?

230. The veterans in the clan feel the same way.

231. It's terrible, that's why they send us everywhere

232. to do their dirty work.

233. Zip it, dude.

234. You wanna get PKed by Pencilgon?

235. Look, in the grass! A wild player killer appears!

236. You're going through all this trouble

237. for a noob like me?

238. As second-in-command of Ashura Kai,

239. I'm more of an ambassador these days.

240. But here you are...

241. the chief animal photographer of SF-Zoo, a clan

242. that couldn't care less about actual players,

243. so I'll have to thank Sunraku for giving me the chance

244. to take you out!

245. Damn it! This triple-A game just took

246. its story cues from a dumpster!

247. I'm gonna make you cough up that info

248. whether you like it or not!

249. Four PKers, huh?

250. You're gonna need 'em, bring it on!

251. You've only got me beat in level,

252. equipment and stats! No biggie!

253. Try and kill this!

254. Oh, I know who you are!

255. You're the shaman who mastered all those debuffs

256. just to take monster photos, right?

257. Look at all those status ailments!

258. My curses, you reflected them all back at me.

259. How?

260. There used to be this Shaman PKer

261. who was a major pain in my butt, to say the least.

262. Believe me, I know how tricky your curses can be.

263. So now, I carry this around, just in case!

264. You have a Karmic Straw Doll?

265. Those are really rare.

266. Being able to counter all curses

267. with karmic retribution is essential,

268. I would have been a sitting duck without it.

269. Luck was not on your side today.

270. Don't worry, I'll stick around until you succumb

271. to your own poison spell.

272. My best option.

273. Is to target the jerk who called me a scrub.

274. With a slow weapon like that longsword,

275. I won't need skills to dodge his lumbering swings.

276. The real issue here is how the hell

277. I'm supposed to damage a group of high-level players,

278. decked out in legendary armor.

279. [REI [PSYGER-0]] Severing attack!

280. - Rook-smasher!

281. Whoa! That was crazy!

282. That was a one-hit kill?

283. Guys, we have a big problem here.

284. Forget about the bird-man, is that the Attack Master?

285. "Attack Master?"

286. Who the heck is that?

287. Ah, what a day. I just can't catch a break!

288. [REI [PSYGER-0]] He's wearing a bird mask.

289. His player name is Sunraku.

290. It's happening.

291. At last, I've finally found you!

292. It's Hizutome!

293. Where are you, Hizutome?

294. I've tried all the starter towns

295. and I can't find you.

296. You still haven't found him in-game?

297. Well... you said he always plays as "Sunraku,"

298. so I've been scouring the beginner zones

299. for anybody with that username, but no luck.

300. And as far as I can tell, he's chosen to skip

301. the first tutorial city entirely.

302. He's a trash gamer livin' in a triple-A world.

303. Don't give up, you'll find him soon.

304. Okay.

305. Then you can tell him how you feel!

306. I've done everything in my power,

307. and I still can't find "Sunraku" anywhere!

308. The games he plays are so, like...

309. How do I put this?

310. Not only are they super niche...

311. but they're so difficult I can't even play them, really.

312. I tried so many, I did!

313. I just couldn't find the right fit.

314. But now... with SLF.

315. We've got Hizutome playing something I can handle.

316. I won't let this chance slip away!

317. I got mail?

318. From my sister?

319. What?

320. Hey, look, it's her!

321. - In Secondale? - No.

322. [PSYGER-100] Psyger Zero.

323. I'm sorry, but I need you to pause

324. your personal player hunt.

325. There's someone in-game I really need to talk to,

326. and I want you to find him for me.

327. Oh, no, this seems really bad.

328. Taking pictures is against the rules?

329. I guess that means I should probably delete it, right?

330. [PSYGER-100] He was last seen in Secondale.

331. Apparently, he has a well-dressed,

332. talking Vorpal Bunny in tow.

333. However, there is a chance he's already

334. on his way to Thirdrema.

335. I've attached a screenshot so you know

336. what you're looking for.

337. He's wearing a starter bird mask,

338. and he has Lycagon's Mark on his legs and torso.

339. This player's name...

340. [REI PSYGER-0] Is Sunraku.

341. [PSYGER-100] Be swift,

342. at least a couple of other clans

343. have already made contact with him.

344. Including, but not limited to, good ol' Ashura Kai.

345. [REI PSYGER-0] I found you.

346. [PSYGER-100] There's a high likelihood it's developed

347. into some nasty PvP.

348. - Keep your guard up, okay?

349. This is it!

350. I'll never get a chance like this again!

351. If I approach this as a player defending him from PKers,

352. I'll have a natural reason to start a conversation!

353. And then, if I'm lucky, someday I'll be able

354. to talk to him IRL, too!

355. [REI PSYGER-0] Severing attack!

356. Rook-smasher!

357. They're really goin' nuts over there.

358. I doubt those novice PKers will be able to take out

359. somebody like Sunraku.

360. If I've learned one thing from fighting him in SLF,

361. it's that the skills he's gained

362. from playing so many terrible games,

363. in every genre imaginable, are worth more

364. than all the coin, unique items or high-level stats here.

365. All that experience is a huge asset

366. in the polished world of Shangri-La Frontier.

367. I heard his buddy Katzo's started playing as well,

368. so now with Sunraku, that project of mine

369. is more possible than ever.

370. Is that...

371. Psyger-Zero?

372. First, he pulls in the Zookeeper,

373. and now the Attack Master?

374. Sunraku, old pal, I'm so glad I went through the trouble

375. to see you!

376. I hit you with five curses.

377. And yes, you played it smart, and defended yourself with

378. a powerful item.

379. But one Karmic Straw Doll, only has the ability

380. to reflect a maximum of five debuffs.

381. You haven't seen my final hand,

382. think you can block me now?

383. SLF Theater!

384. Mini!

385. If you've ever wanted to try

386. the greatest food in all the lands,
