Second Story Online: Aiming To Become The World’s Number 1. Ideal Witch

I'm home. City of Die Road. Yeah, the time slot is real. This game is around nine o'clock. Plus, a holiday. The whole city where people are busy, are we going to go hunting as well? There's a wave of people out there. But I've just been hunting, so I walk in the opposite direction. Arrive at that beginning square. There still seemed to be novice players, and people who felt exactly like they were logged in now were looking around. Looks like that soldier's place is already thriving, too.

Organize as much information as you just did while sitting on a bench set up in such a square.

First of all, you can finally summon the user demon! Shall we just call it in? Yeah, what do we do? I can't believe you can do such a witchy thing! You were worth eating grass for!

"Show yourselves, my demon!

I'll be in good shape and say it out loud. Words don't make sense around me anyway. A magic formation appears on the ground, from which light floods. A few seconds later, there you will see [Twilight Oul] about the rice thief who fought as much as he did earlier.

Have you gotten smaller? It seems to have shrunk more than it had just been. It just doesn't change the way it looks. There are mite-like wings (ukaku), which are long enough to exceed their own length. That was flimsy and shaky when I flew. The feather color is gray with a mixture of white. The tip of the wingspan is a little yellow.

Slowly open the eyes that had been closed for a while after being called. And when I fly and ride on the head of the wand I left standing on the bench, I close my eyes again and fall asleep. You look kind of very sleepy.

"... is it because of the nocturnal nature"

Open user demon status screen. There was a skill called [nocturnality]. Apparently, you don't like daytime activities.

"Name… what shall we do"

The one above that screen. There was a field with a name. Now it's a race name, but you seem free to give it to me. I think this is the kind of name you're going to decide on. It was easy because my name was already what I had decided...... hmm.

"So what about in Nil?

I said the name I came up with. When I heard that name, the user demon on the wand was closed. Open your eyes and look at this one. But I yawned and closed my eyes again and fell asleep.... Well, let's name it Nil because you don't seem to deny it. Input complete.

"Best regards, Nil"

Nil nodded as if to reply with his eyes closed to my words. My pace, right?

Check out Nil's skills like that too. I remember four things: [Dark Wisdom] [Sage of the Forest] [Dark Mist] [Nocturnality]. [Nocturnal] is what caused Nil to sleep earlier. This increases your status at night instead of decreasing your daytime status. [Darkmist] is the black fog you were using when you were fighting me. Grants a Conditional Abnormality [Dark] effect to the opponent.

[Dark Wisdom], this apparently has the effect of increasing the Summoner's Dark Magic Attack and Resistance. I mean, they're going to enhance my dark magic. When it's night again, go hunting to see how it works.

[Sage of the Forest], I actually thought that the phenomenon that's been happening since just now is coming up. This seems to be a skill that allows you to see their information. Information on what Nil is seeing will also be shared with me, the summoner. When Nil opened his eyes, something like an HP bar appeared on top of people just moments away. Now I can't see anything because Nil hasn't opened his eyes. [Nocturnal] skills make it seem unusable during the day because you sleep with your eyes closed during the day.

Well, now that you've confirmed Nil, let's check your skills. You're roughly at level 10. There were also more [dark magic] and [wind magic] available magic.

[Summons: Familia] is level 3. Why did you go up so much? Because you signed with Nil? I don't know.

The least I can tell is that the level of [order] is up. That's crazy, I don't remember giving you any orders. Yeah, but I told Nil to be my user demon (Familia). No way. Is that what caused it? I took it because I thought I might be able to use it when giving instructions to the user demon, but even this thing goes up, right?

And still remain level 1 [blending]. Well, I'm going to use this, so it'll go up.

Before that. After the battle with Nil, there were more skills available. Let's check that first. Call the retrievable list. I had about two more skills on that list that were nothing if ever before.

[Moonlight] [Down above] two. Select a skill to see a detailed description.

[Moonlight]

Strengthens magic with the light of the moon. The power changes due to the filling. Magic Healing Effect and Magic Attack Enhancement.

[Down on top]

Stats up when fighting a superficial presence.

Ho. For now, [moonlight] increases your magical attack power when it's where the moonlight is. Probably caused by the fact that you work at night a lot. When you get this, it's called [Dark Magic] effect, and it's going to be more and more night war specific.

[Down above] was the level of monsters you've been fighting for, wasn't it? I did try the Grey Rabbit Leader from Level 1, fight Nightbat... and also fought Nil in [Dusk Forest] where beginners don't normally go.

You can consume and get SP1 each. Hmm. I'm worried about getting it, but I haven't gotten the language yet. I want to get the language first. I'm sure you'll be able to get it in a little while, so let's put it on hold until then.

That's all the confirmation work. Next I want to use my [blending] skills.

The herb you picked up? Remove the appearance and conditioning kit from the item storage. Would you like to do it anyway? Rinse away the herbs you've picked up. Very much. Put that in the pan and boil to complete. It became a green liquid in a bottle that appeared out of nowhere. [Novice Recovery Potion: ] That's the name.

I'm glad that the grass I ate and discerned was a good herb over the joy I could have. But for confirmation, try the first potion you've done to make sure it performs.

"Fuck off."

...... I forgot. Potions were bitter. A liquid that is bitter enough to leave a taste on your tongue. After a bite forced me to swallow it, the effect of recovery appeared. Apparently, it's a real recovery potion.

But that's strange. Why is the flavour of the potion bitter? Even though it was sweet in the state of grass. I'll try the state of the grass. I knew it tasted sweet. I'll try the shredded one. This also still tasted sweet. Now let's have a taste of the simmering stuff.

"... bitter"

Apparently, the taste has changed because of the simmering. Hmm. Can't it be a sweet flavor potion? It's not a problem to call, rather it saves you the trouble of drinking. So I don't think the taste has anything to do with it, but it would be nice to taste sweet anyway.

Well, for now, let's make potions. You want to solve the taste problem one of these days.

Use the remaining herbs and manufacture the recovery potion. One per herb. There were failures, but I could do fifteen.

I'm a little tired, so I'll stretch my back. Looking up, the sunlight caught my eye. The sun is up a lot, and it's already around lunch in in-game time.... warning section at the edge of the field of sight, when I looked closely there, the hunger showed a pretty nasty value. Speaking of which, Nil ate me, so I haven't eaten anything in the end.

That's why I serve skewers of meat out of item storage. I knew it was delicious. But I get tired of boulders when I keep doing this. Shall we go to the market again and look for new food as well?

You kind of feel the gaze. Yeah, you can see the HP bar over the head of the person on the road.

"... do you also eat nil?

Looking next door, a nil stopped on the cane staring at the meat at my hand. Remove new meat from storage and place it on the bench because you don't want it stolen again. Nil jumping on the bench suppresses the meat with his hook paws, while eating gassi. My body's getting smaller now, but it's good to meet Nil. Maybe this kid is a cannibal.

○○○○○

Watching that happen. As I was eating too, I was called out by a pair of novice player-like players who were walking down the square. You're a pair of men and women.

"Uh, what is it?

You two will be surprised to hear my voice. Yeah, I'm sorry. I can't speak these words. You two will talk to me again, but I have no idea. Oh, what shall I do?

It was then. Nil grabs my clothes with a couch and flips. When he looks over at you, Nil beats him with a couch like a piece of meat. And I shake my head to give away a pair of men and women. No way......

"... Could these people be asking about this meat?

Cochri and Nil lower their necks. No, I don't think so. But I gesture and hand tell the place as I show those two the map. Then they turned to the market as they thanked each other with a bright smile.

"Nil, you understand the language of this region..."

It must be obvious because it was more of a monster in this region. Not answering my words. Nil eats meat looking delicious again.

Just as we finished our meal, those two were sitting on a bench close to hand with skewers of meat. You were right about Nil.
