Rika and the girls slowly walked over, giggling as they chatted. Honestly, he felt happy they would chat happily with his cute bunny. Her ears were now more vibrant and fluffy.
She wore a half-plate corset with a chain mail skirt and tight black stockings with her cute, fluffy tail popping out. Two hulking gauntlets filled her hands with heavy steel high boots and grieves.
"Ah! Zell, we took a little longer to arrive. Some stupid wolves tried to attack us. Haha! stupid dogs."
—|Zell: 'There is the Rika I know. Once in battle mode, she is quite fierce and masculine, not the submissive bunny from earlier. He told her not to call him lord around others, but in return, she could call him a master in private.'
Astral Online forced players to make an account using their real-life IDs. So you couldn't make alts, and all crimes and offences in the early portion became known almost instantly.
Now he knew the gods were in charge of this game. It made sense. People who affected the game's progress to protect Asteria would get punished swiftly.
To make parties or add friends was simple; he only needed to enter their phone number or ID in his linked phone outside of the game. Since he got both, the + icon appeared over both heads when he focused on them.
—|Zell: 'I wish to party with Fairy Fencer, Tessa and Battle Cleric, Anya.'

He could now see his health in the top left corner and a small golden shield with an L to show he was the leader. Zell looked towards his beautiful party members as they looked excited and jumped up and down, squealing.
"It's strange to party with people, well, first off. These are my battle pets if you would. Something like how you both have those special classes and races." He said to the girls. As they slowly turned towards him.
"Griselda is the cute, noble wolf with black and white fur. She will help Rika and Tessa the most with tanking and disruption. Take care of her for me, girls!"
"Wan!" (Greetings maidens, this lady is the noble wolf of my dearest lord! Let us fight together!)
Rika smiled gently as this wolf reminded her of their past life, walking over and rubbing the cute wolf's head as her tail wagged with a booming sound in the wind.
Only Rika could understand the words, but Griselda's body language and joyful howl made them all run over and pet her.
—|Zell: 'Good thing it's a female, or I'd be a little jealous right now…'
"Kya… Look at how soft her white fur is! Tessa, look, the wolf is so smart; she can shake my hand!"
"Awu!" (Of course, my short friend! You are also quite good with belly scratches. This lady will partake in your love when the master is busy!)
"Hah~ look, Anya, her tail is so bushy! Hehe, the black fur is silkier than the white. I want to sleep on her back when tired!" Tessa said, swooning over the cute dog.
He remembered these girls could not see Veronica. So would pretend he misspoke earlier if they asked him. Veronica gave him a peck on the cheek and then seemed to vanish in a flutter of light, the tiny pink lip marks never fading.
—|Veronica: 'I want a body… Soon I will come back and fight with you! Don't get hurt…. Please be careful, Zell!'
— Gained The Fairy Blessing
Escape one fatal attack
Lasts for 24 hours.
—|Zell: 'Oi! What's with the lack of faith and foreshadowing? Damn, fairy…'
After several moments, Zell interrupted them because he still planned to play the game with six-hour sessions. Then take temporary breaks before diving back inside. If he got sick, that would ruin everything. So caution was imperative.
"Okay, girls, please allow me to see your basic status. Otherwise, I don't know how to fight with you all. Mine are free to look at." He spoke with a deep, commanding voice that caused Anya and Rika to stand up straight and focus on him.
Tessa slowly stopped stroking Griselda, who was panting on her back like a traitorous noble that abandoned her king.
"I will always leave myself open for you!" Rika said with bright amber eyes.
— Display Rika Delacroix's status?

"You are amazing, Rika; I cannot believe how perfect you are as our Main Tank. Can you accept that role? I will reward you for doing well!" Zell said in a cheerful voice. He never thought she would become a tank rather than her old damage type.
"Hehe! I would love to, Leader!"
"Ah, me too! I want rewards and compliments!" Anya said, more confident in the game world. Once again, her mannerisms and tone felt nostalgic for Zell. But he feared being wrong and would wait to ask her until they finished this session. They planned a small drinking party after all to celebrate tonight.
He looked closely at Anya, with his eyes glowing in delight. Her tiny body was only up to his chest, with those massive breasts stuffed into her half-plate armour. Below that was a chain-mail dress which lowered down to her knees. Underneath was a black pair of stockings and small plated boots.
Her hair was now light blonde, with two twin-tails flopping on each side with a slight wavy feel. Her thighs and ass seemed much thicker but in the acceptable range. Not fat or ugly. She looked well suited to a dwarf as if the gods knew this beforehand.
Zell didn't comment on the breasts that were still an E-cup but closer to an F-cup as she carried a hulking two-handed hammer with a head over 40 centimetres long and wide.
This was the most brutal "Healer" he ever saw.

Zell found this girl amazing. Her HP was not high, but her healing style was far more helpful than a full healer.
His party was melee-heavy right now, so when the Assault party becomes a Raid party, they should have more range or make separate parties to train together.
"How about me? Are you not interested?" Tessa asked, feeling he never paid attention to her. Which caused her to seek him more often, rather than ignoring him and acting cold like other men. She felt annoyed, but Anya looked happy and could only grit her teeth.
'Stupid man, just because you are handsome and keep ignoring me! Don't let me find your weakness! I'll never let you win.'
He didn't listen to her initially, as it filled his mind with plans and ideas for their future. After his thoughts faded, he looked at the beautiful woman he purposely ignored and treated distantly.
When he awakened his bloodlines, countless thought and ways to flirt and attract women stuffed into his mind. This girl was not the type to enjoy a direct approach. He needed to catch her attention and reel her in slowly.
Tessa also seemed to have her unique class and race early. He thought this was probably because the gods above, with their second chance, would not be so naïve, treating the demon invasion lightly again.
Her class was called Fairy Fencer. Not only because she was a half-fairy but because it fought like a fairy despite being an Off Tanking Class.
Her soft golden hair became silkier and more glossy in the game. She brushed it behind her ears, smirking as she noticed his gaze. Behind her back, soft translucent wings fluttered with a silvery blue glimmer.
Different from Veronica. She was full-sized, almost as tall as him, with her tight muscles and plump ass, which looked great in her light grey leather armour and chain mail gloves, which looked delicate and cute.
