as I read the fine print of the triple important list, I noticed something odd, something that defies explanation and knowledge of my current being.
[casual protocol (self made) ]
as I was about to speak up about this somebody clapped their hand in front of me and said.
"nephilim-san... are you.okay? " a young man in front of me said.
I looked around me to realize a group has been formed around me in a ring watching me tentatively... I don't feel safe anymore.
system any ideas?
[just follow my word and you'll get out unscathed. ]
I doubt it, but fuck it what option do I have anymore.
[i-]
"i-" the young man looked VERY EXCITED, worryingly so.
[need-]
"need-" I followed the word with a very nervous voice, people are just staring at me like a zombie!
[fifty-]
"fifty-" the man looked anguished and almost cried ugly in the middle of my speech, what is wrong with everyone???
[rank VOID mana core.]
"rank... void... mana core. " the man outright cried... of happiness.
the ugly squealing human in front of me cried tears of happiness? makes the scene itself extremely goofy as a girl with six wings talked to some 25 or so years old person as he cried and squealed as if he got accepted to heaven, the surrounding makes it even worse as a group of robotic humans watched intently surrounding both person.
"I DON'T HAVE IT!!!! " he screamed in happiness, the surrounding area suddenly stopped, as... nothing is happening?
[say this line very carefully and confidently, "you're too weak. " ]
"unfortunately... you're too weak. " I said trying to be the most unapproachable person ever.
[great improv there! I forgot the heartbreak in the first line! also now walk slowly as regally and slowly as possible. ]
"no no no NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! " he screamed as the surround people comforted him.
as I tried to walk regally and stuff... I'm not the best at it but I had to try, I WANTED to get the dodge out of here as FAST as possible.
[don't worry, I make sure people would very much doesn't want to approach you EVER. ]
what do you mean by that EVER? I'm scared now that you raised your voice.
[basically people now regard you as a very high npc, so until a person managed to successfully completed the quest that I managed to set out, people will not approach you in fear of fucking up the quest. ]
how does that even work?? is approaching an npc mean cancelling the quest??
[no it reshuffle the quest, usually the first quest given by an npc would be it's easiest so you can guess what happened to the person who reshuffle an easy quest. ]
they get...
[killed, inside and outside the game. ]
I'm just going to disregard your last statement, I had enough of questioning. I just want a nice farming mmorpg game with a slight bit of violence.
[y-you can definitely do that, you only need to pick the farmer job system. ]
GREAT NOW LEAD ME TO IT.
[a-ah yes... hmm... uhh... no... first... oh no. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry the most I can do is to lead you to the newbie village. ]
then do it, you know what just lead me into a safe place enough to deter anything in my near vicinity.
[there's a cave nearby. ]
PERFECT.
my vision suddenly is guided by an arrow pointing on my right side.
I followed it until I got to a cave, I sat down on it and said "can I access the internet from here? " this game had nothing but amazing scenery, headache, and poorly placed foreshadowing everywhere.
[of course, here are the current most popularvideo streaming platform. ]
"popular doesn't always meant the best, can you access tackyvidoes please? " what I said is indeed a small and niche gathering of people who liked long form content like me, in a dominated short form content world people like me are rare as I'm weirdly selective of what I'm watching.
then the screen suddenly changed into a tackyvideos hub, ah the great old day where this site is popular enough that old people started to get into it, which is about 5 years ago... now where people started acting like an actual npc rather than a human short form content are preferred, not that I hated it but there's too many of it.
i watch some let's play video, they're always so calming especially with horror games, after calming myself down I prepare myself for the trivia question.
I sat on the not so comfortable rock in a cave as I asked the system a bunch of things while watching some videos about the biology of random animals on earth.
[about food? well if you starve here, that means you're starving outside of this world. ]
so it's all interconnected?
[well, yes of course it would be interconnected wouldn't want people starving mid-gam-]
{the animals we see here are rumored to be a possible descendant of the long lost and forgotten animals from earth}
[what is that?!! ]
"dinosaur."
[that's so cool... can you buy me one? ]
"what am I?! your mom?! "
[technically yes. ]
"..."
[oh, come on they're huge!! ]
"dragon are also huge. "
[pfft! come on they aren't the same thing it's different! if a dinosaur would be compared with a dragon how does it feels? ]
"nothing?... "
[exactly! they're my little murder machine! and by the gods I'm not going to let them become sympathetic! ]
"then how do they raise children then? shouldn't a race that's lived very long and raise children like a trip to the restaurant at least have a quality parenthood? "
[magic stuff!! it's magic! don't think about it too hard. ]
"promise me you will be very professional when it comes to other matter regarding magic. "
[yes, mother I will be strict and disciplined, oh come on! drop the act I know how you usually acted like! ]
"I've been in a near death situation this morning and I'm grumpy. " in fact I had numerous of weird shit happening to me with little to no breaks in between, it OBVIOUS that I had a breaking point with all of this bullshit popping out left and right.
[...]
"..."
{and look at them! they're very cute indeed. }
"I'm going to log off, you can do whatever you want. " I logged off to the outside world.
{their claw providing them defensive and also offensive capabilities to their bodies, a wonderful addition I might add, they can retract and pop up their claws like wolverine! their tails is used for comfort and freedom of movement as their small and lithe bodies carried them throughout the urban civilization, raise the fund for these cuties to live happily in their rightful owner. }
[...]
================
I walk outside of the machine and walked the door that appeared on the right side of the room, the door leads to the guest bedroom which I used because... I don't have my old one anymore.
I looked at the guest bedroom and found it absolutely left unchanged except for a plate of food on the floor.
I grabbed it and found that it's already gone cold, it was not something great or bad just a bland cold porridge.
I downed it with temperature room water, the room beside me still sounded a few footsteps of people I guess who worked to repair my whole house.
feeling paranoid I grabbed a sheet and a pillow and went inside the machine, as I walk inside the machine both the pillow and the sheet turned into nothingness as it disappeared from my hand... I steps inside of the machine and sat on the bed not prepared to go in the game.
so in my midnight mode I sat on the chair, in front of me is something that vaguely resembled a computer popping through the wall of the machine, it's low humming makes me sleepy already as I tiredly activated the computer.
then a stray though hit me... how do the- oh wait they have the system assistance of course, I was about to ask how did this gaming community discovered several important mechanics in the first two day of the game coming out, but of course they got the system.
just ask and the answer is right there, there has to be a catch with all of this system assistance... I'm sure of it, or else why would they give you a complete guide to the whole game for free?
thought entered my weary brain trying to make sense of the magnitude I was placed in, trying to cover it's obvious loophole and magic hell that's happening at every direction, that I wasn't even surprised that I changed gender in game, at the very least I should be surprised or hyped about these things but the stress taking hold of my brain dulled my senses and mental faculty of my already tired receptors.
it was obvious I need more time to relax, I don't like to be strung into the chaotic lifestyle of the fantasy world, I want to be a little side character somewhere at the edge of the universe singing a tune and waiting for my life to end in satisfaction.
of course this WAS supposed to happen when I'm rich or free of responsibility and even had some fun adventures along the way before having a wife or something to bring back home, I don't need a harem just a family I can wrap my hand around.
you know what! fuck this! I'll work my damnest to be farmer! or somebody along that line! just a nice and quiet village life! that! is what I strive for! a PEACEFUL AND FREE OF RESPONSIBILITY LIFE!! and I'll work harder than I was ever before to achieve that dream even for a split second! actually no I want it to last forever because obvious reason.
but I need a plan! and that is to get the farmer job! about fighting? I'll let my minion(or partner) to do the fighting! and me? I'll just sit tight on my home doing some chores along the way... forever... actually that doesn't sound too bad.
==============
ohhhh!!! this is where the bullpoop happen!! in fact I'll made a counter of each bullpoop Manny has to face from now on... on second thought maybe... not.
