"Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo."
----------------------------------------
As the cloth covering the cage was removed, the occupants squinted their eyes upwards to see their savior. Before them stood a blood-soaked girl, her attire closely resembles to that of a “Saint”. Frightened by the quantity of blood stains throughout her robe, they cowered into the back of cage. The girl sighed as she knelt in front of the cage trying to comfort the frightened folks.
“H-hey. Look! I mean you guys no harm.”
She put away both her weapons and at the same time lifted her hands up in front of her. Using this method She had hope they would get the message that she is a friend not a foe. The first thing the girl noticed was a fox eared girl looking at her gesture with curiosity and as if she had realized what it meant, made her way to the front of the cage. The girl could tell the fox entity was being cautious when she got there. The fox girl scanned the girl's attire to figure where the weapons from before went, to no avail the fox spoke up.
“I have to apologize on behalf of my friends, the blood stains that’s on your robe startled them.”
While looking at the fox girl, she nodded her head in agreement.
"But even so I know not of a method to remove these stains so I can roughly guess why they reacted like that."
She silently muttered to herself while scanning for the cage lock. After locating the lock, a ping sound went off in her head and caught sight of a white silhouette outline that shaped like a key on the ground a couple feet away from her. The key must have been lying on the cloth when she yanked it off from the cage. She quickly strolled over to pick up the key and returned back to the captives.
“Hold on a sec, I’m going to get the key to open the lock.”
The fox girl nodded in reply as she stepped a couple feet from the cage door. Locating the highlighted keyhole, the key was inserted and turned. A klick sound was heard indicating that the lock has been released, The lock dropped to the ground as the cage door flung open allowing the captives to exit. After everyone got out, the fox girl started doing headcounts with name calls; first up was the cat girl called Natuxi. Next was the elf girl, Syvis. Following after the elf girl came a bunny girl named Furuya. The fox girl was called Eiki as she counted herself last.
The catgirl called Natuxi stared long and hard at the robed girl who rescued them, still wary about her character she shot out a blunt question towards her.
"Don't get me wrong, I am grateful you released my friends from captivity. However from what I can tell by your attire and the blood stains on it. Who are you and what is you job class?"
Sweats started to form her forehead as she came to the realization that she had no idea whom this body originally belonged to nor this body's job class. In a ditch effort she decided to play the amnesia card and as she was about to speak, a message popped up.
[Angelica Gentiane of the Gentiane family. Job Class: Saint--->Combat Saint(Achievable)]
"!!???"
Wondering why this message appeared right when she made up her mind, the person named 'Angelica' decided it was best bullshit her job class along with hiding her family name and real name.
"Sorry about the late introduction, my name is Eliza and my Job is 'Priest'.”
'Eliza' was an alias that 'Angelica' used a lot back in 'New Earth' as a persona for a Virtual Real Time Strategical Shooter online game. To be precise, her alias was actually THE 'Last Boss' from that online game.
After everyone learned each others name, the group started to head East with the fox girl leading in front. Roughly fifteen minutes had gone by as another camp came into view, this time with two corpses straggling aimlessly. Before 'Eliza' could act, the fox girl quickly disposed them by severing their heads from the body. She managed to catch a glimpse of her weapon; as her mouth gaped as 'Eliza' saw Eiki's nails grew longer than they originally were.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“With just her nails.”
'Eliza' muttered still shocked at what she seen. She noticed that Eiki and her friends started going through what seemed to be their belongings. After finding their clothes, they began to undress. 'Eliza' immediately went towards the carriage that was parked between the campfire and the tree to give them some privacy while they were busy, 'Eliza' opened her 'Core' menus.

After confirming all her weapons are still in their respective slots, the ‘Vetris Beloved Child’ set piqued 'Eliza's' interest.
[‘Vetris Beloved Child’, an attire that had been blessed by Vetris, herself to show her affection towards the child she bestowed her blessings. The set includes ‘Vetris Necklace’, ‘Vetris Robe’, ‘Vetris one-piece dress’, ‘Vetris Sandal’ and ‘Chasity panty’]
“What?”
Tilting her eyebrows, 'Eliza' stared long and hard at the ‘chastity panty’.
“Ooookay…… moving on...”
[The Vetris Set effect entails; +500 Magic Defense, +150 Spell effectiveness, +100 Physical Defense, +125 Movement Speed. +100 Divine Attributes. All corruption type curses are nullified.]
“Okay, the heck is ‘Divine Attributes’?”

“Meaning I would also loose the title?”
[Negative, should the wearer retain their ‘original’ senses it’s up to Vetris to unlock or lock the other attributes. That also apply to the title bestowed to your soul.]
“What would the corrupted set effect be for ‘Vetris set’?”

After getting enough data on the set and her current equipment, 'Eliza' pulled up the ‘Inventory Menu’.

After going through each item and made sure nothing was missing, 'Eliza' closed the inventory screen and headed back to camp to check if they were done changing. As she turned the corner from the side of the carriage, Eiki and company were loading the cargo onto the carriage which ‘Eliza’ later realized belonged to them. Natuxi came up to me as the other members boarded the carriage.
“Do you mind if you come with us to the next village? It’ll take us at least four days to get there. We are going to report this incident to the Adventurers Guild.”
“I don’t mind actually, there’s something I need to do there."
That was a flat lie, 'Eliza' true intention was to slip away from the carriage as soon as she neared the village. There’s a lot of things she needed to figure out and running into this group and their transportation was by pure luck.
“By the way, cat girl. Do you know if there is a library or temple there? Ah…”
'Eliza' soon realized a mistake that she made when she saw Natuxi pouting.
"The catkin does not like being called that."
she continued letting out a displeased tone.
“A library? No. but there is a temple there. I can guide yo-...”
“I appreciate the gesture, but I think I can manage.”
Cutting her off midway through after getting the intel she needed, 'Eliza' began formulating a plan which can be executed when the time is right. For now, she need to endure the next four days of traveling in a medieval horse drawn carriage. Just as a precaution 'Eliza' took out a Glock 18C Ruler sheathed within her robes. As the feeling of being tired and exhausted started to overcome 'Eliza', she rested her eyes. Thinking back, the fight against the bandit boss took a heavy toll on her 'body' then again, she have to face the fact that she is in a physical body made of flesh and blood...No longer made up of data. 'Eliza' was determined to take extra precautions in future fights to cherish this second life not as a digital life form, but as a human being.
“My weapons will be used when I absolutely need them.’
'Eliza' silently muttered as her consciousness drifted away indicating she has begun to sleep.
