Golden Experience

"Hideo was sad. I am resented for fighting for the inhabitants of the town. That was irresistibly sad..."

Hydeo snorted into a luxurious hut built in the suburbs.

Stanislav, a Dwarf researcher who works with Hideo, lives in this hut.

The cabin itself is blurry and likely to collapse now, but it is sturdy against its appearance and will not collapse with a slight storm or so.

Stairs to the basement are also hidden on the floor of the cabin, from which you can go to the vast lab built in the basement.

It wasn't Hydeo or Stanislav who built this underground lab.

They don't even know how long it's been in this land, Stanislav, but it's what's been here since the beginning. It is a so-called ruin.

Stanislav was formerly an archaeologist, a researcher who used to study the unified empire that existed in the land.

The Unification Empire is a fairy tale level in this shape, and all the literature left is a mix of jade and stone. Even if the ancient literature is authentic, the ruins have no shadow or form, or are swallowed by monster territory, and most of them cannot be investigated.

There are rumors that some noble houses have something to convey, but I don't know how far it can be believed either.

Anyway, it is Stanislav's lifework to fish for such literature from one end, go to the place where it is likely to go, and investigate the situation at the time even a little. No, it was.

It seems a coincidence that Stanislav discovered this ruin. I found a literature with the contents that there were ruins around here, and for now I was walking to the nearby town of Zastarva, where my feet suddenly collapsed and fell underground, and what was there was that ruin.

That set Stanislav's life to change.

Because of the artifacts that were left in this ruin. Artifacts, also known as mysterious relics, are special items left behind by ancient civilizations, and nothing can be created in modern times.

This artifact has a mysterious spell on it, and the moment I touch it, I know how to use it. Anything without it is not treated as an artifact.

The artifact that was here had the effect of transferring the properties of one organism to another.

His name is Archem Extractor.

And Stanislav was fascinated by this artifact, which set him to transform his position from archaeologist to alchemist.

Determined to devote his life to alchemy, Stanislav built a hut in the ground opening of the ruins and created an environment where he could study them.

So the problem was the experimental bench.

The realm of demons is also far away around here, and no strong demons are nearby. Stanislav doesn't have the power to capture the strongest demons.

By turning a weak demon into an experimental bench that can also be seen here, he could be proficient in the manipulation of the Alchem Extractor.

However, weak monsters died after several experiments and were unable to carry out experiments efficiently.

To proceed with any further research, it is necessary to experiment with organisms at least more potent than human species.

But there is no guarantee that you won't die from it.

Then we can't do it ourselves, and we can't just grab the Zastava residents and turn them into experimental benches.

That's where I showed up, a player who never dies.

It is Hideo.

Hideo cooperated fully with Stanislav's research.

If this research is successful, you may be able to become a "Transformed Hero" in this game. Because that's what I thought.

This name "Hideo" is also taken from a hero, a hero.

Speaking of heroes, it's essential to be a supportive mad scientist.

Enchanted by artifacts, Stanislav was perfect for Hydeo's imaginary mad scientists.

"─ ─ Modifying it raises Talent a little and transforms it into a stronger defense. But that won't beat the evil organization. We need to ask Dr. Stanislav for further modifications to make it stronger."

Take the narrow staircase hidden in the cabin and proceed to the underground ruins.

If two young human men and an epic dwarf man lived in a hut like this, they would be exposed to unwanted evil. Such slander is not what Hydeo wants. As a result, I usually stayed at the NPC house in town.

I can't do that anymore, either.

I was just as frustrated when they knocked me out of the boarding house, but if I remember those giant undead who broke into town shortly afterwards, the frustration would subside. I was rather even sympathetic.

Nevertheless, Hydeo himself was almost killed by the giant Undead without any skill. The courage to confront again did not spring, and Hydeo gave up defending the city and fled in a flash.

More importantly, Hideo is just a player. No matter how heroic my aspirations were, I couldn't keep the motivation to fight for more than that protecting the towns of those who just treated me like a monster. That can be deceitful with a line.

Not as long as I know I can always win at the end of the day, but unfortunately this game is done so that I can't beat enemies who can't win.

Down the stairs and into the ruins, Stanislav was heading to his desk to gather the materials.

Dr. Stanislav!

"Hideo. Hey, what's up? The next experiment should have been scheduled by now."

"Not quite! The town was attacked by a herd of undead! I transformed and fought, too, but I didn't get my hands or my legs!

"What!? What a mess! When they were in that town, I was doing great research ─ ─"

"Doctor, that's not what you're talking about right now! The town may not make it anymore, but it doesn't necessarily mean those undead won't get here! Before you do that, you'll have to make some further modifications to me."

"─ To observe, the mysterious object there is a device for carrying out the modification. Artifacts, I guess."

Unexpectedly, I heard a clear voice that I had never heard.

Looking back, the lady who had just come down the stairs, wrapped her pure white dress in front of her, stood. There are golden horns growing on the woman's head, with red eyes on one side and purple glittering on the other.

In this dim lab, the overly white woman even looks as if she is emitting light herself. Actually, isn't all the magical lighting on the ceiling reserved for lighting up this woman?

Also, next to the woman, there stood an unidentified person of both sexes carrying a large sword on her back and dressed well like that of a male aristocrat. This person also has very white skin and red eyes.

There are bat-like creatures on both shoulders.

There was no sense of being followed at all. Behind his back, he ran away looking back occasionally. Be very careful when entering the cabin, make sure no one is around, and then spill your own words.

No, speaking of which, the bat on the shoulder of that gender unknown person. It's like something like that was flying near the cabin.

"Become! Who! When!"

"Hydeo! You followed me!

"I was careful to follow! At least I won't be followed by such a prominent crowd!

"You fool! Fact is, you've been hacked into this lab!

Indeed Stanislav is right.

Whatever happened, it's no different that they broke into the lab. And given the circumstances, it's Hydeo's fault.

"Damn, I can't help it! I don't want to fight here and do damage to the lab, but I can't let you like- 'Transform'!

The activation key reconfigured by Hideo activated the skill 'Pervert'. Breaking through Hideo's clothes, black armor reveals itself. It is a strange figure, like a bug-like whole body armor, characterised by numerous thorns grown on the mouth and arms. Then there is a powerful cool.

Hideo called it Scarabe Foam.

"Oh, that's the transformation! I see. For now, 'ego'. And, uh...... I guess so. I wonder... is it made of" chan "? Ah, I got it. And then," Fear. "

Failed to resist.

Failed to resist.

Failed to resist.

When I thought I heard a white woman say something bumpy, I got a message that she failed to resist something to keep standing.

At the same time my body was stiff, my vision darkened, and I couldn't move one finger.

This is the first time this has happened.

But I think I read about this message in a manual or something. This would be some sort of state anomaly attack. I couldn't move because I failed to resist.

The rash the woman was talking about must have triggered some kind of skill to apply that Condition Abnormality to us.

- I can't move! Dr. Stanislav!

No, I can't even speak.

Then there seems to be something wrong with my ears. Only intermittent sounds, like being in the water, make external information impossible to obtain.

Stanislav is NPC.

I've had quite a bit of combat power since I first met him, but not as much as the players I advanced to some extent.

It would be easy to kill Hydeo with enemies he can't reach.

And there can be no resurrection.

That's all you have to avoid.

But there is nothing Hideo can do.

I don't know how long this condition anomaly will last, but I hope it recovers as soon as possible.

-Dr.! Get away from me! Doctor!

When Hideo regained his five senses and body freedom again, there was nothing in the underground lab.

Dr. Stanislav, the white woman, and the unknown swordsman.

On the contrary, everything that Dr. Archem Extractor valued more than his life, research materials, and other artifacts were lost.

It was just a hanging old stone wall, with magical lighting glowing brilliantly on the ceiling.

I hear that this magic lighting is sold in town and was later installed by the Doctor.

I guess that means it wasn't worth anything to that white woman.

There are no signs of contention.

Dr. Stanislav could not even resist and is believed to have been taken away.

"─ Oh, my God. Doctor......!

Hydeo fell down on his knees and laid his hands on the stone floor mourning.

On the floor is the wreckage of clothes torn and scattered by Hydeo. It seems to have been abandoned as worthless.

No, it's the same with Hydeo himself.

To the enemy, Dr. Stanislav was a person worth taking away, but it seems Hideo wasn't.

Hideo is a player and will be resurrected where he last logged out if he dies wherever he was taken away.

If that town is already under control and has been removed from the list of candidates, it will be this underground ruin.

If only you'd taken me away with you, you'd have had some clue. If Hideo didn't have to fear death, he might have been able to escape the Doctor in exchange for his life.

But the enemy didn't take Hydeo away, and on the contrary, they didn't scratch him.

He was probably killed once in that town and seen where he lispawned at the boarding house. I assumed that Hideo was a revivable being, and refused to let it go for nothing if I killed him.

"So I was missed....."

Dr. Stanislav had difficulties with his personality, but he's still a comrade he's been with.

Even so, there are no great demons around here, so it doesn't mean I did anything special.

Everything was from now on.

With a little more experimentation going on, we were planning to move our base to a city closer to the realm of demons, and then start working in earnest.

"Who was that, that white woman..."

From that rhetoric, the goal would be an Archem Extractor.

Whether you were looking for an item to transform, or simply collecting artifacts, that's unclear.

But if you look so prominent, maybe some other players have witnessed it.

The town of Zastava had no players other than Hideo because it was far from monster territory and had no industry in particular, but there should be plenty of other cities.

Hideo has never used SNS or anything like that before, but this is not the case if you are obsessed with it.

"Did it look like a feather when I said it looked like a feather? Assuming the skirt part of that dress was a feather, could that be the seventh calamity, the enemy of humanity..."

The enemy was famous and mighty in thought.

I had a strange, subtle exhilaration when it came to this situation, as if I had met an underground idol by accident.

Anyway, according to the SNS, the Seventh Disaster is in a way a lass boss treatment.

Names appear throughout the thread, even though this angel attack should not have been directly involved.

In that the seventh calamity ignored the angels and appeared to Hideo.

I'm not here to see Hideo, I'm here to see Dr. Stanislav and the artifact, but I'm sure Hideo was there.

True heroes often have such fateful encounters. I can tell you that this is the fate that Hideo attracted.

Looking at the Seventh Disaster so far, it is clear that her purpose is in the artifact. She has been defeated by players once in King Hills Capital. It seems that it was the artifact of the event item that inspired it.

Because of that experience, she saw the artifact as a danger, and if she could smell it, she would come and collect it.

That's probably the setting.

"... I don't know where they took the Doctor... If I could get an artifact, she might show up again.

─ ─ Gather information on the Seventh Disaster and Artifacts and one day rescue the Doctor.... no one can take a man's future!

Until now, it was like a long opening.

The true battle (game) of Hideo has finally begun after coming here.
