'That event was amazing!'
'I know.'
'Agreed!'
'It was blood boiling!'
'I became a Fenrir for its duration. I wonder if we can do that again?'
'I don't know but I hope so~'
'Compared to monsters, the Human Race had boring buffs.'
'We became Heroic Spirits, boost in basic stats only.'
'No, the Beastkins became Ancestral Beasts.'
'You play a wolf? I don't get how you can adapt to four legs at all.'
'You would be surprised to know how many freaks play this game. Those with soft minds are eliminated every day.'
'lol.'
'Natural selection.'
'Don't call me a freak! I'm a real life zoologist, it's a dream to live as an animal!'
'Freak.'
'Freak +1'
'+2'
'+3'
'You ***. Show me your names if you dare!'
'Did you see those Legends? Saintess, Sages, Ancient Heroes, Demons… You could have actually found them before the event.'
'Don't ignore me!'
'I heard the four goblins met the Goblin Sage. A priest, tamer, swordsman and commander.'
'They became his students and forwarded our study into magic by a lot.'
'Seemed like the Sage was actively teaching them.'
'For real? That meant if we chose goblins as our race, we could have been the same?'
'I would think so, but goblins…'
'Ugh.'
'Don't do it.'
'What, why?'
'You don't know but when the game first launched, goblin is one of the most popular races chosen…'
'But everyone except those four quit within two weeks.'
'Hobgoblins might be a much stronger than humans, but their previous evolutions are worse than deadweight.'
'Each race has different starting grounds. Monster Race starts below Human Race and it just so happens that goblins have it the worst.'
'Other Monster Race starts weak too, but they have some specialties at least. Like a slime can suffocate small prey and grow slowly in size. But goblins are too balanced to try anything.'
'The best advantage of choosing Monster Race is their racial talent paired with your smart human mind, yet the goblins are just a more dextrous monster.'
'Even skeletons are stronger with resistance to slashes.'
'But monsters are stronger in the end, they can evolve and their stats can exceed the humans.'
'Human Race are all between E to F rank in strength without skills. Even the second evolution of wolves, the direwolves are D rank.'
'Goblin Lords, maxed out goblins are C rank I believe. Stronger than humans in the end.'
'But Human Race has an advantage in skills and equipment. It's observed that Human Race raise their skills faster than the monsters counterpart. Monsters have limitation on skills too.'
'A wolf can't hold swords. lol'
'Who says. I can bite it in my jaws and be a sword wolf.'
'What?'
'Are you the Fenrir before?'
'I learned sword art that war.'
'Freak'

'…'
'You ******!!'
'Second time, you'll be banned soon.'
'Be careful doggy.'
'Grrrr.'
'Back to topic, the four goblins are really crazy. Marked as freaks defo.'
'But they are nice freaks, they teach us magic.'
'Can you even learn it? The Continental language I mean.'
'…'
'If we want to cast magic without relying of skills and commands, we have to learn a whole language…'
'Torture.'
'I heard only one of them actually learned magic.'
'Who? The swordsman? I saw him wield a flaming sabre.'
'Magic Swordsman!?'
'No, it's the priest. She chanted intelligible words and fired a beam from her fingers.'
'Beam!'
'Not from her eyes?!'
'Shove it. She said it's a modified fireball spell.'
'Fireball into… beams?'
'Eye beam must have fried your brain.'
'Everything can be explained with magic!'
'Right now few people can actually cast spells freely even though the materials are online.'
'Either way, there is a lot of benefits for catching their eyes.'
'They are all gone after the event though.'
'Dead from casting forbidden spells.'
'The event suddenly popped up and started from the last phase, that really surprised me.'
'That means the event was running before the game launched.'
'The world was running even before we came.'
'As I thought, this more like just a sandbox than a game.'
'The developers are software engineers, they favour their AI more than you people.'
'You're among us.'
'But how will things develop now?'
'After a great war is a long period of development. My prediction is that wars will break out slowly now all restraints are gone.'
'The level cap? That seems to be affecting the NPC- the Fels. But since when was there a cap?'
'Maybe we never reached it before it was removed.'
'The spatial gates are active too, travelling much easier~'
'It's like heaven compared to before.'
'Days of travelling just to get to another city, not to mention kingdoms…'
'A lot of mages wanted to go to the Mage Country yet cannot.'
'But the biggest problem is that…'
'The grand total of players is still 20,000…'
'It didn't change…'
'There are 500,000 gaming units and they changed hands so many times, why isn't there more players!!!'
'Those few famous streamers are hogging all the money making opportunities! There are not enough consumers for crafting players!'
'Just sell it to the Fels.'
'I want real hard cash!'
'Oh.'
'Why is no one joining. Cry.'
'Even though travelling became easier, the combat system did not change at all.'
'If you have no martial experience in real life, you survive in the field.'
'If you have no social experience, you can't survive in civilisation.'
'I don't think many kids plays this game.'
'The reality crushed their hopes and dreams. Poor kids, they might quit gaming and anime all together.'
'A 'game' telling its 'players' to get a life.'
'Reality check.'
'Brutal awakening.'
'Disappointment.'
"…"
'…Can we take it into our own hands?'
'What do you mean?'
'I mean, we can do something to make this world more hospitable.'
'That's… not impossible.'
'The Devs don't care about what happens at all. There is no storyline whatsoever.'
'The events are also spontaneously generated based on the situation.'
'It's easy to gather all the newbies not the gates are active.'
'The starting spawn is random within the racial territory, that was hell.'
'Let's make a training camp and teach them life.'
'That sounds malicious, but I think it's for the best. New player trickle in even now only to leave traumatised.'
'We will need a lot of space to facilitate all the players though…'
'Why don't we try negotiating with the Holy Kingdom? They are the most welcoming of the wanderers.'
'Their Gods summoned us after all.'
'I think it can work, but we will have to hold the reigns of new players tightly. Can't have them ransack houses like RPG heroes.'
'lol'
'We need to create as starting city for them.'
'From fantasy monster slaying to city building on a kingdom scale…'
'Kingdom scale?'
'We need to worry about politics and other powers. A lot of kingdoms have bad impressions on us, and we need quite a lot of favours from the Holy Kingdom.'
'Damn RPG heroes.'
'Anyone think they can do this?'
'…Song Princess?'
'Song Princess?'
'Song Princess.'
'No one but her.'
'M-me!?'
'Oh! Princess!'
'Your Highness!'
'You Highness +1'
'+2'
…
'So you guys want to make a city to promote the game to more players?'
'Yes! It's too lonely not being able to share our love as the seniors.'
'We have to teach them the joy of a functional society.'
'Slowly rehabilitate shut in dregs of the society and make them functional adults.'
'This sounds like some evil mastermind plans…'
'It's for the greater good.'
'The world will one day thank us.'
'Blegh.'
'Well… If it's a city, we can probably use the Twilight City a bit north of the Holy Capital.'
'What? Princess, you already have a city under you?'
'As expected of your royal highness!'
'No! The management of that city is under a Fel I know, so I should be able to ask for help. It won't be free though so you should think up your terms.'
'Fair.'
'There's no way they would just loan a city away.'
'Security of the city and its surroundings is the most basic obligation.'
'Culling surrounding monsters while keeping a healthy ecosystem. We need enough monsters to train the newbies.'
'We need a mass field study conducted soon.'
'Then the city needs patrols. We can probably introduce monster players, flying ones for lookout and spy across the city.'
'Then an efficient deployment plan to deal with any problems.'
'We need to merge with the city guards, we can't play through the night after all.'
'Then to benefit the city, we need the production classes to station here.'
'Production brings development. It drives the economy.'
'Then I can recruit Drom and Yennie over here.'
'As expected of your highness!'
'Your social network is impeccable!'
'Nobility- no, Royalty!'
'Stop!'
'Then it leaves only the newbie camp. How do we adapt them to the world?'
'I think the four goblins are the most important part of this plan.'
'Their knowledge on skills is greater than anyone. They were taught by a Sage after all.'
'I saw their training plan they uploaded, they are very transparent about these stuff.'
'I doubt they want others to be jealous of them over that.'
'Those are inhumane. How can they keep that schedule?'
'By being freaks. I thought we established that.'
'I suppose we did.'
'Then we need to contact them too… Princess!'
'Princess!'
'Princess!'
'Eeeeh!! Why me!?'
'You are acquainted to their teacher.'
'Not only acquainted, but close.'
'And vague.'
'Maybe further…'
'(Impression) Martial Aunt?'
'Alright, I'll do it! I'll do it, okay! Sniff.'
'Yay!'
'Yippee'
'All hail your Royal Highness!'
'Networking at its finest.'
'Then it's time for all of us to gather. Everyone, meet in the Holy Kingdom, Twilight City as soon as Princess gives the 'OK'.'
'Yessir!'
'Roger!'
'Got it.'
'I'm on!'
…
'BTW, who is the Fel in charge of the city right now? How did Princess know them?'
'Now you say that… intriguing.'
'Who might it be?'
'Is it a secret?'
'Not really, you know her.'
'Who?'
'Who?'
'Who?'
'…?'
'Cosmic Slime, Tekke Lily. The Shoggoth. She was the Goblin Sages contract beast.'
'Cosmic…'
'Tekke Lily…'
'Shoggoth…!!'
'The one that ate the Sun Eater.'
'Cultists!! It is time to rise!!'
'Tekeli, Tekeli'li.'
'An Elder One is here!!'
'An Elder God!'
'Then does that mean the Goblin Sage is an Elder Thing?!'
'Holy Crap!'
'Don't forget, the Princess is friends with the Cosmic Being!'
'Her network reaches beyond the cosmos!'
'Finest indeed!'
'Slime God!'
'Everyone! Gather to the Land of Gods!!'
'Sigh…'
