Golden Experience

Episode 243: The Fallen into Darkness

He's a jerk. I knew that from the time I saw it.

But looking at that condition of Margaret, it was also clear that it was useless to stop.

Besides, if you can play one-of-a-kind, unlike the other players, there was some curiosity about wanting to get on it.

But no way, not so much.

Janet looked at her palm as she sat on her bed in a suite of luxury lodgings in the King's Capital of Paere.

The other day, Magnumerum, the mysterious NPC in his robe, was sitting on this bed.

There is nothing particularly strange about the palm of the gaze, and there is nothing unusual about it as a general woman's hand, but I know best that it is not.

This body is no longer human - it's not a beast.

After that, after I took that Magnumerm hand.

He was taken out to the outskirts of a single king's capital, from where he was put on the back of a giant double-headed dragon, and taken to some forest.

I crushed my liver for the first giant monster look I saw up close, but I wasn't so surprised because it said on the SNS that the Seventh Disaster seemed to have dragons.

And how suspicious they were before they took them, Mad Scientist. They put them in a mysterious crystal container by a twisted dwarf and did something.

The two Magnumerms called it an experiment, but it was the sight of the alteration of the human body of the secret society of evil, no matter what.

When I came out of a crystal vessel like an experimental instrument, I could see things differently than before, just as I was playing another game.

Later I found out that this seems to be due to soaring talent levels.

For example, if AGI rises suddenly, there is a possibility that you will not be able to follow your actions.

In order to prevent such a situation, it seems that the system is somewhat automatic in raising the performance of various sensory organs, starting with motion vision, according to current talent values.

This is the same for other abilities, for example, even if STR is raised without raising VIT at all, there are no disadvantages such as fractures due to your own behavior. Unless you get shocked by hitting something the most, or trigger a Lance Charge that originally had that effect.

That sense of omnipotency made me feel like I wanted to fight anybody. But it was also misted by being stared at by Magnum Melm.

I just opened my eyes and said that I was just being stared at, but for a moment my consciousness flew, and when I realized it, I was on my knees.

Although there was a message that resistance had failed, there was no particular damage, and it would not be a few seconds in time, but there was no way we could imitate the opponent's ability to launch such an attack with no motion.

Then I asked Magnumerm what happened to Janet's body.

First of all, I had to be slightly desperate when I heard that I couldn't go back, but I was prepared when I chose the dark corrupt route.

I reclaimed my mind and listened seriously to the explanation.

It was still a human modification.

"Well, it means combat power and versatility, wouldn't it be nice because it's so improved? If you're bad at this, you're in enough of a position to get to the top players in the game!

"Allison, the top players aren't the top players because they have high stats. I have enough strength to be the top, so I have a high status. I'm just going to have a fight back where the claws are fighting."

For once, Janet is the leader of this party. You have to stay calm.

And I said this to flatter Allison, but I'm not exaggerating.

The dungeon where Janet and the others were lightly defeated was 1, but the parties where the famous players Wayne and Guinorega Mesh are mainly attacking the dungeon of 4 difficulty.

When it comes to the 4 dungeons, it's not surprising that even the miscellaneous fish have the strength of the bear coarseness before it's powered up.

A player who is attacking such places every day. I don't think I can compete with a simple stat.

There were currently all the other members in Janet's room.

This is to make a quest for the Magnumerum route.

"Really? I think it's a good line, Ikel. What do you think of Margaret?

"... Master Septum..."

"Oh, it was in a bad loop."

Margaret's squeaky "septem" means Magnumerum's white robe.

I asked what to do if I wanted to call one of them Magnum Septum and Magnum Octeau.

Janet was initially thinking of calling it Magna and Melm, for the sake of clarity, but it was rejected ahead of Octeau before he suggested it.

But by that name, Janet was convinced that her own assumptions would be correct.

Because in Latin, septem is a word that means 7 and octo is an 8.

It seems that the eighth disaster, which was the subject of discussion at SNS, was the seventh sister.

The Seventh Catastrophe has already swallowed a whole human nation called Hills. It is no surprise that we know what we are called by mankind. If it is, you should also know that you are the seventh, and this would be the name given from it.

It was considered unknown in the SNS what the Seventh Disaster's purpose of action was for a long time, or why it first headed west, but it was probably somewhere west to pick up my sister.

And I was ready for something, and I don't know how, but I reborn my sister as the eighth disaster.

That's probably what happens if you think about the fact that my sister has a younger number.

Of course, I have sworn allegiance to the mastermind of the scenario as a dark fallen player, so I am not going to spread this information. It would be a relief to do such a thing, and many players who play in general would not want to be informed in such a backward fashion.

Or I could not say goodbye.

Because Octo was pounding and Nowem (ninth) might show up one of these days, and he was whining about something like that.

This suggests that Magnum is aiming for the birth of the Ninth Disaster.

In other words, Janet's "Magnum Help" is to create a new world boss.

When I heard this, that's Janet. Her spine also freaked out and her knee laughed.

The ultimate goal of the Dark Fallen Janets scenario is the birth of the Ninth Disaster.

Playing normally is a big event that is not so easy to get involved on either the human side or the monster side.

This can be described as a very hot development.

And even though Janet and the others are not very involved this time, there are also angels at official events, which are the hottest topics among the players today.

This is the story of an invasion by one of the Seven or Eight Catastrophes, the Archangel. In fact, at present, they have a reid boss event for the Archangel Crusade in a city called the Hugel Cup, supposedly in the centre of the continent.

I naturally know they were informed in the system message, but it was a match to join in considering our strengths.

But that doesn't mean we haven't collected relevant information.

Day after day in the SNS event thread, this topic about angels and archangels is talked about hiccups, but Janet was finding one of them, a writing of interest.

It's the writing of a player whose name is hard to remember how sturdy it is.

It was in the spirit that the Seventh Catastrophe destroyed the Archangel and crashed his castle, Sky Castle.

If the identity of Magnumerum Septem is the seventh calamity, it would mean that they and the Archangel are in conflict.

In other words, the same world boss does not necessarily have a collaborative relationship.

There are now Magnum Septum and Octeau on top of Janet and the others. And perhaps there will be more Norwegians there.

Given the balance of power, it is reasonable to assume that opposing enemy forces are similarly disastrous world bosses.

This means that there could be a battle for world hegemony: Disaster vs. Disaster, World Boss vs. World Boss.

And perhaps it is the human forces led by the players who plan to enter there as a third force.

By nature, Janet and the others would not have been able to stand on the front lines.

Like this archangel crusade, I might have been satisfied to see SNS from afar.

But now it's that world-class ticket to the Great War that's in Janet's hands.

The price paid for this - the human body - is cheap.

This is a series of special events that set off the edge of seeing Magnum in Abu Hang wetlands by chance, but just thinking about it makes your body tremble.

I must thank Margaret for her rampage.

"Master Septem would be nice, but come on, I'd rather be Lord Octo one way or another."

"What? Stop?

"Because Allison is a brown ski, right? The same goes for Septem-sama's pure white, but Okto-sama's brown color can't be made with early characters."

Returning to me from my thoughts, Allison and I were arguing over something that didn't matter.

I really don't care which one is more beautiful, etc.

Because they have the same face, they are both beautiful.

It's more important than that to get rid of the work Magnumerum was told to do.

"Yes, sir. More than that, I'm going to do the quest Magnumerum ordered me to do now.

Fortunately, Atashi and the others still look like beastmen, so if you do well, you can dive into the royal castle. "

Septum actually told me that it would be easy to dive in.

I didn't expect Janet and his family to appreciate each other that much, even though we just met. Excellent at mastering people's minds. If this is the case, it is not Margaret, but I thought it could not be dropped immediately, but it was not.

As he searched the main entrance of the royal castle, the guards there noticed Janet and made a call.

Apparently, this soldier at the main entrance is a breathtaking soldier from Magnumerm.

Like Keefa's lodging, it's unclear what the means are, but they seem to be tailored to collaborators.

Unlike other countries, here in the kingdom of Père, the fighting power of individual inhabitants is increased.

Instead there are few members of the class like the so-called aristocracy, only as many as the royal family or their close relatives.

Therefore, there is no such thing as the Knights, the noble children, and the Knights are only about the Kingsguard of the royal family again.

There are a lot of ordinary soldiers, but the strength of this soldier is pinkiri, and some of them have the same strength as knights of other countries.

Apparently Magnum decided that the Pairé soldiers were less loyal to these facts, regardless of their strength.

That's probably why we got this gateman wrapped up.

Some of the soldiers already seem to have several traitors, and they were able to borrow their armor and uniforms.

And he was led by the first Gate Soldier to speak up, and five combined broke into the royal castle.

A small group, but it seems not uncommon for a soldier to act in this number of people within the royal castle, and there was no such thing as a strange gaze.

Climbing the stairs and walking down the hallway for a while, he was instructed to stop at the leading gate soldier in front of a certain room.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll see if my allies are in there."

"Oh, yes."

A man from the gate soldiers enters the room without a sound.

The room says "library".

Here, information of interest may be obtained from literature and the like.

The purpose of the information is the conditions for the reincarnation of the Beast. Especially for ordinary beasts to reborn into a hierarchical existence like a noble class.

Janet and the others had been instructed by Magnum to explore the information.

This is most likely combined with the rewards for achieving this special quest.

I don't know about reincarnation, but when I met Magnum for the first time, I felt that it was a success for the bear. If so, it must be referring to the power up that you did to that bear.

In other words, accomplishing this quest will reincarnate Janet and push her to exist a step further. It's an easy reward to understand.

Quests on the human side often rewarded items and gold coins, but for the purpose of a combat-based player like Janet playing the game, the main thing is still to become stronger.

It's not about money or things, it's about getting them hanging this easy to understand bait that's more motivating.

"... good, come on in"

The gatekeepers greeted him through the gap, and Janet and the others entered.

I was worried about letting five people in, but the library was unexpectedly wide enough to afford it.

"But this means that there's a lot of information to look into..."

"I mean, I've already had enough tension. I mean, do you think there's a chance to play normally and get into the vault of a kingdom's royal castle? Absolutely not! We're definitely the first players to get in here!

"Before that, I think Atashi and the others were the first players on the human side to fall into darkness."

"Come on, Ellie and Ja sister aren't playing, I'll check things out!

As Margaret rushes me, I walk to the back of the library first.

It's the same wherever you're going to find out everything, but if you were to treat a book with important, unwanted information, it would usually be in the back.

"With that said, you said you'd check to see if there was a collaborator, were you there?

"Oh. I've already told you the story. He's an old man who runs this library. While we're in the library, they're gonna try to keep no one in this room."

"What? If the archivist is a collaborator, you should have him look into it from the beginning."

"That's where Kina stinks in this country. I can only hire librarians who have been illiterate for generations. This is probably because there is no risk of spreading information if the letters can't be read, and it will be difficult for the elderly to learn the letters from now on. It looks like you're asleep with facts you don't want to know...."

"I see..."

Janet thought Magnum had done something about this gate soldier and made him help him.

But from what I'm saying now, maybe I've been questioning the way the country does things before.

I don't know who Magnumerm is. Therefore, I see them as collaborators of mankind in general, rather I may have come here with the intention of exploring them in the main.

"... no matter how many people say they won't come, it's the boulder that will look into all of this..."

"Sister Ja, what are you talking about?

"What?"

"You can throw all of this into your inventory and stacola sassa"

"Ah."

"... I see! You were Gentiles!

Solved, apparently.

After all, Janet tells other players never to find out that they are players.

This is because Margaret taught about the presence of SNS in the distance when falling into darkness.

If players who are collaborators of the mastermind are discovered to exist, information may no longer be written to SNS satisfactorily. In that case, information about the Gentiles, the Janets' point of appeal, will be unavailable.

That clever Magnum must have feared it.

Or there is the possibility that such a restriction is imposed as a condition of dark fallen scenarios, but I don't know because there are no samples other than the Janets.

That said, if it is the NPC of the ally, it is different.

Normal NPC opponents are told not to find out as much as possible, but a collaborator would have no problem. In the first place, this gate soldier had a mouthful like he knew from the beginning.

And as Margaret declared, Janet and the others split up and put all the books in the library into the inventory, leaving the royal castle with nothing to eat face.

Back at the inn, Septum waited for Janet and the others.

Margaret was good at taking out and showing a large number of books from the inventory and was very pleased with Septum.

Alison seemed to be looking for Octo to see from her gaze, but she had apparently already returned to the city of Keefa.

Janet and the others also finished the book again and were told to take a carriage back to the city of Keefa.

It seemed to Magnumerm to have obtained this information as to the errands to be carried out in the capital of King Père.

Janet and the others explored only the library after all, but Septem labored me by saying that was fine this time.

If it doesn't seem to be in a secure and managed library, such as an illiterate old man, it's probably just a private area that only royalty can enter anymore.

If so, it seems that there is nothing more that can be done at the present time. This is an instruction that clearly understands the character that seems to dislike waste.

By the time the carriage arrived in the city of Keefa, the massive event was already coming to an end.

After all, I could barely attend this event properly, but the Janets had never been more satisfied and fulfilled.

After this, it goes right into maintenance, but I've never seen maintenance time so neglected.
