Once upon the time, the world was engulfed in darkness.
Chaos reigned, and civilization collapsed.
The last settlement, Tyrel, waiting for its inevitable doom, was saved by the Goddess's light.
Remnants of the world were given hope, and began their fight against fate.
In the name of the Goddess, and for their own survival.
____________
That was briefed to me between my character creation and login. How the heck did the remaining population of a settlement even manage to fight back to begin with? Oh well, I am a nice person so I'll let that slide.
I wake up in the middle of a small town.
This must be the only "vanilla" town in CSF: Tyrel. I heard that players either expand Tyrel or build their own towns from hereon. I am just a nobody currently, so no point in worrying about that.
In fact, it was only a village on the first day. However, the players having managed to build up to a town in just a month is kind of impressive!
Ah, let's check my status first. Obligatory first course of action upon entering a game and all that.

For some reason, most of my racial bonuses are gone, and some new titles are added!
Okay, calm down. Do not panic, model citizen.
It seems one of the titles granted me some other skills. And the legendary "Inspect" is here! That alone takes 5 skill points in character creation! The must-have skill when people get spirited away to another random world!
Okay, let's try using it on myself!
[Shadyna]
…Whelp.
Not expecting much at level 0, but at least give me something other than my name! "Cute halfblood" or something of sort!
Let's inspect the [Inspect] skill then!
[Inspect: Grant wisdom from the Goddess.]
Oh~ Immersion restored! The who-knows-where knowledge is actually wisdom of the person who created the world… So, Sateri's wisdom?
Let's try out some more!
[Halfblood: Races born from parents of different races.]
[Female: One of the genders.]
[Beginner Clothes: Clothings granted by the Goddess to new adventurers.]
[Accelerate Power: Increase damage based on current speed.]
Attributes and other stuff just gives the full name on [Inspect], which is kind of expected at this level.
Onto the titles!
[Unstopping Hero: The hero who never stops.]
This must be the compensation for my "life experience". The [Accelerate Power] skill is most likely from this title as well.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
[Absolute Zero: The one who rejected the Goddess's blessing.]
Is she calling me a heretic?! This must be payback for screwing with her by not assigning any points, right?! If [Inspect] works on others and someone sees this wouldn't I become a walking Player Kill (PK) target?!
[Aspiring Pacifist: Inspired to walk the path of non-violence.]
This one is probably for my intention of doing a pacifist run. Since it's only "Aspiring", I wonder if there's a stronger version of it?
[Halfblood (Title): One of the impure bloodlines.]
…I picked halfblood race for appearance, but looking at this description really gives me second thoughts… This is just a statement right? Not a sign of total war on racism or something of sort, right?!
For now, let's look around town. I wonder if players have built anything crazy in here.
Doesn't take long for me to find a tavern. Since I do not intend to fight at all, I don't think a fated encounter with the hero party will happen. But it's a good place to start, and gather some info as well.
Then again, one of my title is "Hero", does that count?
_ Old buffed dude: Da hell is SG title?
_ Definitely suspicious man: WTB new SG skill info!
_ Random archer: LDR dump stat lolol. Git gud scrub.
_ Waitress: That one is definitely not SG, idiot!
_ Young knight: Finding party to grind SG!
I close the door and continue walking on the street.
Too noisy!
Apart from the guy bashing LDR attribute, why is everyone raging about SG? What is that anyway?
[SG: S Rank. Globally unique]
Thanks, love you too Sateri.
Must be so powerful that everyone is talking about it. Even the waitress is in the discussion so I suppose it was a player-built tavern.
_ ???: Hey there young lady. Are you new here?
A young man in magician robe calls out to me.
_ Shadyna: Ah, right. I just started today.
He walks towards me with a smile on his face. Am I being hit on? I do not have super power to do the "crush every annoyance in sight" cliché you know! My attributes are 0 and I only have [Inspect] as active skill!
_ Mage: I figured as much. You are a min-maxing skills right? Wanna join my party?
…Did this guy [Inspect] me? The only reason he can say such things is either from my 0 attributes or my barebone equipment.
[Inspect], on!
[??? - Beginner mage]
Thanks for nothing, [Inspect]. Well, I know he's not a hero, so there's that. If he's strong he would probably be able to see my skills, and knows that I am min-maxing nothing!
_ ???: Hey, hurry up!
A warrior-like player and an archer appear, then start dragging the mage away before I can even answer.
_ Mage: Wait, let's ask her…
_ Archer: Don't bother, she's trash. Let's go. The boss is not going to kill itself. You there, better throw that trash setup and make new character, nub.
That was the archer bashing LDR in the tavern by the way. Was he waiting for the warrior and started trash talking to kill time?
He probably has a higher [Inspect], so he saw that I had no attributes, skills, nor equipment. Did he not think about where I spent my points?
Oh well, this type of players always exists, so I am not going to pay attention to them.
Ah, I forgot to [Inspect] them!
Moving on.
It looks like the town is split into multiple parts, each has its own building style. I went past the old Western part of the town into the more Eastern district. Since they are grouped together like this, I suspect it's the large guilds marking territories.
One month since the game was released and I can already see a guild war happening soon.
As I walk some more, I reach a small gate separating the village and the outside world.
A green scenery expands in my vision. At the horizon, dark ominous clouds cover the sky, but here, it is as clear and sunny as it could be.
I wonder what lies ahead in the plains in front of me.
Shadyna is going to enjoy the world!

The tavern also acts as a forum. Discussions in-game can be recorded and published on a board for other players to look at later.
--- Topic: SG master thread ---
## Manly Warrior
Please discuss the new SG level in this thread only. Other SG threads will be cleaned up in due time.
In summary of other SG threads:
- SG stands for S-rank, Globally Unique. Thank you Sateri-chan and high-ranked Inspect players for the info.
- Confirmed SG skills: None.
- Confirmed SG titles: None.

## Curious big boobs elf
Da heck? So we knew nothing about SG at all except for the name? Σ(゚Д゚)
Git gud, min-maxers!
##
## Manly Warrior
Then why don't you help us finding them instead of fondling your own breasts?
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
On a serious note, it's mostly because Inspect players who are high-ranked enough to see skill and title ranks are really rare. And the patch was just an hour ago.
##
## Serious Mage
I'm worried about Globally Unique part. Doesn't that imply only one player can acquire them?
##
## Nearseeing Sage
That is a real possibility. Still, knowing about them early may give you a head start on acquiring the remaining ones.
It's finally time for the DFC Sages guild to shine! DFC! DFC!
##
## Curious big boobs elf
Speaking of big guilds, wouldn't what the Phoenix Ashes doing be a possible way to get an SG title?
Also, reported. Damn lolicons.
##
## Nearseeing Sage
Just PMed the guildmaster. Still have 3/4 to go, so it's not them.

## Manly Warrior
Thank you for your hard work, Sateri-chan! (^o^)
The timing was weird though. What gives?
##
## Flame knight of Darkness
Especially the SG stuff. That was out of nowhere.
Also, death to bastards who bully Sateri-chan!
##
## Nearseeing Sage
First day closed beta player here. This was usually called "Emergency patches", mainly for critical bug fixes.
Not sure why new contents are added in this manner though.
##
## Flame knight of Darkness
Thanks for the info. Wouldn't that mean someone got qualified for SG stuff so Sateri-chan had to… put it in? (^_-)
##
## Nearseeing Sage
Good question. Mind posting that info on SG thread? DFC Sages will definitely look into this.
Also reported for harassing Sateri-chan.

--- Topic: LDR trash? ---
## Newbie Charisma build
Trying to min-max LDR, and someone called it dump stat. Is it really bad?
##
## Fire mage of Justice
Are you new to the game? If so, it's better to go for a balanced build instead of min-maxing.
On the main topic, LDR is considered dump stat because it impacts none of your statuses as far as we know.
What it does is giving stats bonuses to party members and summons, end of story. Even LCK has some impact on your attack!
So yeah, it's trash. You will need someone to carry you, or try a summon build, but that requires some MP to work.
##
## Newbie Charisma build
Whelp. Any other newbie traps like that?
##
## Curious big boobs elf
Inspect.
This isn't isekai. You are not going to need it. Information is free. Capable party members are not. It is hard to grind, and you will get level experience from doing so.
Without a long term party or guild to back you up, you will not have any capability to support yourself at higher level.
##
## Nearseeing Sage
Or join DFC Sages. We are a small but powerful guild focusing on surviving with Inspect. The only requirement is respecting the DFC.
##
## Newbie Charisma build
Thanks for the input.
@Curious big boobs elf: Pics? Also in-game name pls.

--- Topic: Cute girls appreciation thread #34 ---
## CuteIsJustice
Last thread hit limit, so please post new stuff here.
Summary: Post and discuss any cute/beautiful girl you found! Traps are okay, but handsome men posts should go to their own appreciation thread.
##
## Manly Warrior
The Phoenix Ashes's tarvern waitress is as cute as always. -Pics-
Look at her cold eyes when someone told her an E-rank title is SG!
##
## Mage of Sin
Noice! It is a reward in our industry! (^O^)
Also found this cutie on the street earlier! -Pics-
##
## Nearseeing Sage
Barefoot loli?! I need her name, for uh… research.
I mean, dayum, look at that cute ears and tree accessory. Still in beginner clothes, newbie?
##
## Maximus Archery
I was there. Inspected her. 0 attr, 0 skills. Basically trash scrub.
##
## Mage of Sin
That's why you min-maxers are so… Stop bullying clueless beginners (´∀`)
##
## Nearseeing Sage
0 attr, 0 skill, 0 equipment from what I see. Where did her points go?
##
## Maximus Archery
…Eh?
##
## Nearseeing Sage
…Please find her in-game name. I would like to ask her something.
##
## Mage of Sin
Will do. Though stalking is a crime, reported.
