As usual I had a terrible day at school, so I hoped i could let some steam off in Verzors.
I was very surprised when I logged in to Verzors.
Large group of players ambushed me.
I guess some of them wanted revenge while others wanted to eliminate threat and that threat is me of course.
I had no choice but to use my Eldaria scythe.
From start I knew that the only chance of winning is to use everything I got.
The group of players that attacked me was 1,000 players strong or more.
Even with the Eldaria's buff, I still have to focus completely on my moves, so I could survive. Just one mistake is enough to get me killed.
When I sarted to loose, I got a strange offer from game developers. The offer said this:
"Only 3 random selected players from list of 10 best player will get this offer.
For 5000$ you can get equipment skills.
if in next 60 minutes don't use this offer, it will go to the other player".
I have my pride as a player of Verzors as well as warrior. That means that i will use that strange offer and buy "equipment skills".
I don't know much about it, so I was forced to improvise.
I start with Eldaria's skill "Golden Citadel" and then my gauntlet's skill called "Knight's Armor".
Golden citadel is a skill that change field. At level 1 only sklill of golden citadel is dublicating. As name said that is a skill that allows me to create my duplicates, but they are just illusion, while "Knight's Armor" is a skill that give me an extra armor and boost in defence.
After the dust had settled I was the only player left. After that people stop with pointless attacks on me.
Because of Verzors I was able to completely forget about all bad things from school. I wasn't much of energetic person in school because i've only slept 5 hours at day even though I knew it wasn't very healthy.
I somehow managed to live like that for 4 years while study at High Programing School.
Then the time of graduating has finally arrived. I've supposed that I will just get the diploma and get over with it. I planned to become a game developer and make games good as Verzors. I was hoping that the games I was going to make would mean to someone what Versors meant to me.
I was so nervous and worried because I had a bad feeling about all this.
Lin Sakasuchi, Haru Agava and Liz Inazuchi three most popular girls from my school as well as three girls that I hate the most because they always make fun of me.
In the moment where I take my diploma, they showed some fake and embarrassing pictures of me on big screen behind me, but since I didn't have any evidence I couldn't prove it to anyone.
At that moment I just take my diploma and run home.
Later there should be a party to celebrate our graduating, but of course I didn't go after what happened at ceremony.
I was so depressed that even Verzors couldn't help me. I was crying in my bed after i got home.
[Why...]
I mumbled something.
[Why is it always me damnit.]
I don't care is it me or them to die, i just wanted to this suffering comes to its end.
[I am sick of it.]
[Would you like to change it then?]
I heard somehow familiar voice, but I couldn't tell who was that.
So I answered cautiously.
[W-who are you?]
[A friend perhaps, or rather a loyal servant, mistress.]
[What do you mean by that.]
[You will find out that soon enough. (chuckle)]
The familiar voice started to chuckle. And after that the voice felt even more familiar.
[So would you like to change your miserable life?]
I didn't know what that supposed to mean but I didn't have anything special in this life, so I decided and I thought of it as a dream or some sort of my fantasy.
[You know what, if you can change my life then do it, after all it can't get much worse, can it.]
[Excellent, as you wish my mistress.]
[Whaaaa...]
After that I loosed my conscience.
When I regain my conscience something was different, but I didn't know what.
So I finded a mirror in small, dark alley, even if mirror was a bit broken it was enough to see my reflection and I was shocked by the reflection in the mirror.
[I-is that me.]
It was obviously me, but I had Driza's appearance.
Everything was there, my dark blue combatant jacket, my Knight's and demon's gauntlet, my tight, dark purple, combatant jeans and my dark purple combatant high heels boots.
Most of time I've played dressed as
Combatants of Darkness, full uniform. In game they were secret unit that worked from shadows directly under Demon Lord. According to the story, Driza almost joined the Combatants of Darkness. I've only needed ceremonial blade to complete "Combatants of Darkness" uniform set.
Even all accessories and my magic robe with white fur around neck was there.
At first I panicked a bit, till I realize that this is much better than my previous life.
I am in city called "Garos", where i was last time hunting players before i logged out of Verzors. It is a city that belongs to the Great Alliance. It is territory of those who choose to play as hero and antihero.
Because I am playing as villain my territory is Demon race territory. The Great Alliance territory is very dangerous, it is a territory of humans, elfs, dwarfs, gnomes and demi humans.
Demi humans are only race thet is separated in two groups, one was with Demons, the other one was with The Great Alliance.
I decided to move stealthy and stay out of trouble.
But before I was able to do anything my head start to hurt.
[ugh. grh. M-my head.]
Once when pain is gone, I got all memories of Driza's life.
I saw how humans killed my parents before my own eyes, while I was a young vampire girl. Our butler died while protecting me and just when I lost all hope, a reinforcement sent by Dmon lord and leaded by Demon lord's most trusted general Shardox come and rescued me. After that Shardox taked care of me. He taught me how to fight.
Along with memories I also gained grudge against humans and all members of The Great Alliance. It was as if Driza's and my soul had become one.
I sarted to use roofs to move around city without being noticed.
I planned to go to the Demon territory as soonest possible, because I am not safe here.
Even though I should headed straight to Demon territory, I decided to visit a bank first and to check if my currency has any value in this world.
When I Entered in bank, owner looked at me with suspicion.
[Good day sir, could you help me.]
[What is it, what you wnat.]
Middle age man answered me with bitterness and rudeness in his voice.
First I've removed visor and mask and then
I used mind magic to made him see me as an ordinary human and with little magic I changed my eyes color to blue because I assumed he would suspect I was a vampire if he saw my blood-red eyes.
Because there isn't any reason to suspect me I think he is usually rude to all customers.
[Could you tell me is this currency has any value.]
[Let me see... hmmm...]
[Unfortunately this currency has no value...]
[Uhh... I see. Thanks in any cas-]
[However material of this currency has value by itself.
I am sure that this is sifiriyum.
Hey tell me lady, how much of this do you really have.]
He changed tone of his voice.
[Half million or so.]
[W-what how you were able to get that much.]
[hmm. That's trade secret.]
I answered with bright, carefree smile.
[Well that's too bad. Well then.]
[Well then what.]
[I have one in life time deal for you, I will give you five million of platinum coins for all that.]
What a change in attitude.
[What, you are kidding right.]
[Not at all, sifiriyum is a rarest metal in this world, with it I can earn at least double of that.
Of course you can go, find and sell for more, but that will take a lot of time and i am willing to pay all at once.]
If I stay in this city longer than I needed I'm risking to be caught.
[At least you are honest, alright you have a deal.]
[Excellent, I knew that you are a smart lady. Here is your money.]
[Thank you.
See ya later.]
[Thank goodness, mechanics like inventory still working.]
I put all my money in my inventory.
After that I bought a black coat with black hood to make hard for anyone to see how I look.
I used the same trick with saleswoman when I bought this robe.
I put my magic robe to inventory and put on black robe that I just bought.
Even though I could use same trick as in bank and boutique, I'd like to keep it as a last resort to stay here.
Of course I could use my magic robe and turn invisible, but I didn't want to use my mana recklessly before I know how strong are people of this city.
Just before i headed towards Demon territory I heard some commotion.
Large crowd of people headed to the arena. I was curious about what going on and so i decided to sneak in the arena.
I was shocked.
It was public execution of one of demon lord' general.
It was Shardox execution. He was tortured so much that he wasn't even conscious.
After my parents were killed and our butler died protecting me, Shardox was only person left that were like family to me.
I can't let this people take my family again, I won't let it happened again.
