002 Prologue (Addendum 1)
#1
When it comes to what I really want, it's definitely the way to get back to Earth - it's definitely not possible. And then there's the way to become male back - which is probably not possible.
But there was one more thing I wanted as a "gamer" anyway.
"The Robe of the Sleeper"
The category of this piece of equipment is a top, the attributes are biased towards intelligence and spirit, suitable for all kinds of spellcasting classes, and the special effect is that every time 5% of mana is consumed, there is a 5% chance that the next spell will not be consumed. This is a pretty good trait for a sorcery class, especially for a healing class like ours that requires precise mana control.
However, if it were all there was to it, I certainly wouldn't want it very much.
For me, its most important value is ......
It looks like the pajamas on Patchouli's body.
As a side note, Pache is a character from another game that I really like. So as someone who is a bit of a collector and likes to cosplay in-game, I've wanted this robe for a long time.
In fact, before I even crossed into this world, the piece of equipment was just announced on the game's official website.
I remember that the "Sleeper's Robe" was supposed to be "an ultra-rare epic piece of equipment that is scheduled to have a very low chance of being dropped in the new version of the new dungeon", but before the new version was updated, I myself fell into this "in-game world". Then, for various reasons, I left my guild and went to the countryside to plant flowers, so I naturally forgot about it.
However, if you really see it, then you really want it.
I feel a little ashamed that it's not a "character in the game cosplaying" but "wearing it myself", but I still want it.
And I wanted that robe so badly, and Anton knew it.
So, a trading box popped up in my field of vision.
"The Robe of the Sleeper" ......
Sure enough, it was.
"How's it going, Koh?"
“……”
"You want it, you must want it, you want it, right? You're a heavy dead house who chose a female number and asked for it to play cosplay. As long as you promise to follow the whole process of this reclamation, I will give it to you before entering the dungeon. Otherwise, hmph, I'll give the auction house in Sunny City tomorrow - and do what I say. ”
"You're blackmailing! Coerce! ”
"That's right."
Looking at his "yes and what" expression, I only have one sentence to say now:
“…… I agreed......"
"Well, then we'll leave in a week."

The setting of this world is strange.
For unconquered dungeon areas, it is "unique" in this world. The team in a certain area where the first raid has completed the dungeon will have their deeds recognized by the world as "true", "something that has already happened", and will receive special rewards from various forces in this world, and their deeds will also be spread among many local residents.
After that, this area of the dungeon can also be used by other teams to open the "dungeon" mode to attack and farm equipment, whatever you want. But for the locals, what they do is "battlefield ruins exploration", not "fighting". If they had to force the locals into the dungeon area, they would have seen the ruins of the Great War and corpses everywhere.
As for the other situation, although the strategy is tried to be attacked, but the strategy fails and there are no survivors, there is also another way to deal with it: the time is regressed to before entering the dungeon, and everyone's memories are retained except for the accompanying natives.
It's as if a "copy" actually happened on another plane. However, thanks to such a special mechanic, we, as "(formerly) players", have no death records at all.
In fact, there is a similar mechanism outside of the dungeon, which is that before we do something, if the act inevitably leads to death, our personal time will stop, and a "future memory" of our own death will pop into our minds - and then we can't do it at all, and the action is blocked by an "unknown force".
This is the magic mechanic we call "memory rollback", and it has been proven many times that "no matter how dead it is", it works.
So, I don't have anything to fear, and the reason why I don't want to "take risks" is definitely not because of fear.
If I have to say it, it's just because I like it. No matter how this world is, it is also a "world with real feelings", not a game that can be operated by pressing the keyboard and mouse across the screen, but a world where you will be thirsty, hungry, painful, sick, and tired, and the original "NPCs" have also become real living people, they also have feelings, if the relationship is good and you have time, they may be able to chat with you for an afternoon.
I have to admit that I am indeed a weirdo, obviously yearning for swords and sorcery in the real world, but in the world of swords and sorcery, I like the feeling of ordinary life here.
But I know very well that I'm actually running away. It's just that I'm not the only one who has chosen to escape in this world.
Antun, the president of Traveler's Tears, walked away satisfied, after receiving my answer, and soon another man came out of the side door of the church.
The only priest in the town who originally lived here was Lisa Calence.
In fact, Lisa was one of the many reasons why I was reluctant to leave.
My character is about sixteen years old, and Lisa, as a "local", looks like she is eighteen or nineteen. So, after hearing me say that I wanted to stay here, this slightly overzealous girl couldn't help but become my "sister" - and the type that I couldn't explain no matter how I tried to explain it.
Lisa's attitude towards me was really overly enthusiastic, but I didn't hate it because I was a little afraid of being alone. To be honest, it's impossible to hate it, and having such a blonde, blue-eyed, good-looking, and perfect body girl willing to live with you and be unguarded against you is a thing in itself that is unavoidable - the only fly in the ointment is that she can't help but think of me as a "sister".
"You're leaving?"
At this time, this "sister" who gave me a headache did not look as energetic as before. I always felt like if I nodded, something was going to overflow in those beautiful blue eyes.
Really...... As for this person, it's clear that they've only lived together for two and a half months.
"That...... Will I still come back? I replied tentatively.
"Where are you going?"
"Uh, Fars Glades. But it's okay......"
"You're not going to die anyway, are you? So you're going to go through that abyss portal and fight that demon lord with your adventurer friends? Lisa interrupted me.
"Ah...... Well. "I wanted to explain something, but I gave up again.
I knew very well that she wouldn't listen even if I explained it.
“…… I don't understand...... No, I mean, do you have to go? You're only sixteen......" Lisa's body seemed to tremble with emotion.
"Don't think so, as I told you, I'm not from this world. And a lot of things aren't as dangerous to me as you might think. "I tried to persuade her to calm down.
"I don't understand what you think, and I don't want to. But I know that not only can you die, but you may also be corrupted by demonic powers, you may be captured as test subjects, you may be locked up in a cage and become their toys - they have thousands of ways to play with bad souls without killing you. Even if this world really needs someone to rush over and kill that damn demon lord, it shouldn't be a little girl like you, this kind of thing doesn't make sense at all! ”
"I'm not alone...... Besides, I'm not a little girl, I've said it many times. ”
"But I trust my eyes more."
……
That's why I'm afraid of her, this person...... I can't explain it at all.
