Coco felt her body powering up and when aura exploded around her body, she felt a lot more powerful. The aura was light blue and Coco knew that it was her Magic Skill of Ice Fire. She entered into a fighting stance and she attacked with Icy Spicy Breath. Icy Spicy Breath was a breath that was cold yet hot to the touch. The slimy creature roared in anger at Coco's attack, but Coco glared at the creature.
This thing is threatening Nova☆Star. It's my job to protect her. Coco thought, ready to save Nova☆Star from the slimy creature. She glared at the creature again and she readied her attack. This time, it was a Fiery Ice Sword attack. She rushed at the slimy creature with the sword and the creature put Nova☆Star in front of it. Coco didn't pause, but she did leaped into the air to attack the slimy creature in the head. When she did that, a Health Bar entered on top of the slimy creature. The creature's name was Octo-Icky and it was Level 5. Coco started to panic as she was only Level E, not even a number yet. Shit. She thought, her attack hitting the creature. The Health Bar went bar went down, the color turning from green to yellow quickly.
Even Nova☆Star was shocked at that as her face showed her amazement. She suddenly felt light and she then realized that she wasn't being held by the Level 5 Octo-Icky. Actually, the name was Beastly Octopus but Coco thought that Octo-Icky was a better name than it initial name. Nova☆Star ran behind Coco to let her go all out on the creature. Coco swung the sword up and she then threw it at the beast.
This attack dropped the beast's Health Bar down to zero. The game registered that she had beaten the creature. "Player has gained 200 Experience Points (EP). Player leveled up to Level A. Player gained more Status Points," the female voice spoke out to Coco. Coco smirked.
She leveled up to Level A just by defeating a Level 5 monster. She knew what she needed to do to gain more levels, but she wasn't going to be rash. She knew that she had to take care of both herself and Nova☆Star. She glanced back at the system, but the way she acted now, Nova☆Star wasn't acting like a system. Coco wasn't going to tell her to act like a system as her acting like a human was adorable. Coco checked her Status and all of her Stats had increased by a couple of points. She smirked at this. She was getting stronger and so, she could act like a true villainess. She was a villainess before she died and she was still a villainess.
"Let's go, Nova☆Star," Coco called out to the girl. The girl was obedient and she followed behind Coco. Nova☆Star gazed around their surroundings and she suddenly felt a twinge of fear. She got close to Coco and Coco knew that her companion was frightened of the new world. Coco didn't respond as she didn't know how to because she was frightened of the new world. She didn't want to scare Nova☆Star with her fear and so, she never revealed her fear to Nova☆Star. She pulled up the Map that she was found on the Menu. She read the Map and she knew that they needed to camp out for the night. "Hey, Nova☆Star, we're going to stop here for tonight. It's getting dark and monsters are around here. It's dangerous go journey without a Party," Coco explained to Nova☆Star.
Nova☆Star nodded. "That's true," she decided to rest against a tree and Coco picked another tree to lean up against. When Nova☆Star dozed off, Coco decided to check her stats.
Coco smiled at her increased Stats. She was stronger, a lot stronger than before. She wasn't happy that she was a Level E and now she was Level A. She felt the increased strength and she was glad. She understood that she had to start from the bottom to become a powerful villainess. She then fell asleep to get some rest.
The next morning, Nova☆Star woke up to Coco training. "Host," she whispered. Coco heard Nova☆Star's voice and she turned to her.
"Morning, Nova☆Star," she responded to her system. She then gazed at the Map to see red dots heading towards them. She cursed inwardly and she flicked her green eyes towards pink eyes and the wind blew through Coco's green hair. Coco then gazed down at herself. With this childish appearance, I will not be taken seriously. That's a good thing. Coco thought.
