We spent the day eating in the city, going bowling, some pool, and just relaxing in the park. The whole day was fun, and it distracted me from the events in the game, but in the back of my head, the concerns were still there. How do I beat the first challenge? Is there something I haven't tried yet? Do I need to switch up my strategy? Thoughts and questions pop up throughout the day, but I do my best to push them down, after all, today was a rare day of relaxation, but once I got home with Rebecca I had to…

I kept trying to complete the challenge over and over again. Luckily for me, the monster repeats the same set of attacks. By using the curse as a timer, I was able to time approximately when I would reach the spider to when the small spiders would catch up to me. I cleared 2 big spiders only to find a third spider hiding behind and after dying the third spider I came out of the game. I feel my whole body shake, taking the VR helmet off aggressively and running to the bathroom. I slam the shower door open…

The door closes behind me and the darkness creeps in. Kingston had told me that there was a pole in the middle of the room, so I wait patiently for my eyes to focus. I move towards the pole once I could make out its silhouette, pressing the red button. "No." - Ian The moment I press the button the wooden pole descends to the ground just like Kingston had told me, however, the moment it disappeared I feel a searing pain on the side of my neck. I collapse to my knees and scream in agony, my eyes…

The cave was once a dark hole that traversed deep into the abyss, but now that dark hole is illuminated. There were torches on the sides, each casting light on its surroundings. The orange flames flicker as I walk down. "Do you replace the torches every time they burn out?" - Ian "Unfortunately yes. We are using the glue that you made before since it lasts longer than wood, but even that will eventually burn out. We haven't found a way to make a flame that lasts longer, nor have we found any resource…

"Wait! Ian!" - Gobi I turn around to see Gobi running towards me. "What's wrong?" - Ian "I want to ask you something. Can I leave my post and head towards the grassland?" - Gobi Gobi straightens his back and looks at me with a determined face. "Is something wrong?" - Ian "Nothing is wrong, however, after seeing Gewari, Gopopo, and Gyumi coming back evolved I want to train as well and improve myself. While they still respect me as their Boss, I cannot help but feel that I too need to evolve in order…

"Well, there are a couple of places I want to show you. Let's start up here first and get you up to speed with the improvements in the main area." - Noah Noah directs me towards Lucina's garden. The original garden was just a budding field with various different crops planted into the soil and a small building housing the different crops harvested from the forest. However, during the time I was away, it seemed to have grown and expanded. The old small building had been replaced with a sturdy brick…

"Hey, Ian! Is that the new building?" - Kingston Waving his hand as he walked to me was Kingston. Ever since leaving the mountain, he had been a bit under the weather. However, seeing him now with a little more energy meant he sorted things out as he was traveling with the others. "This is a Krepost. Healing is increased inside, and it has an automatic defense system, plus you get an increase in stats just being near it. You should see the buff on the top right of your vision." - Ian "Oh, you are right,…

A week has passed since we left the mountain range, and it has been a very rewarding week, although, it was a struggle at the start. Taming the monsters turned out to be very difficult at the start, with Celine failing to tame anything for the first 2 days. We had encountered a lot of Zivotinjas and Xabarils since the goblin scouts, as well as Stellar and Gewari were luring them towards us. The only problem was they were too aggressive toward Celine. Refusing conversations and attacking her when she got…

I wake up the next day as the sun rises over the horizon. Everyone else had woken up and was preparing their equipment, checking and making sure their equipment is still of good quality. "What's our plan?" - Stellar Stellar walks over to me after sending Gyumi to the grasslands to bring the night watch back to us, so they get to hear about the next step in our plan. "I'll tell everyone. Gather round, it's time we move on from here." - Ian I give everyone a moment to come close, as well as wait for the…
