Chapter 49 - Season 2 - Grind

Chapter 49 - Season 2 - Grind

[Minty]: “Just how fast do they have to respawn?!”

[Siola]: “Minty! Behind you!”

[Minty]: “Arrgh!”

Swings her sword down, SLASH, cutting the sprite in two. Switching to her bow, she and I continues our march towards the surface. And I myself grabbed another level once we reach it.

Falling flat on the ground, “Buh, me so tireeed.”

[Minty]: “Mmm, I’m hungry.”

[Siola]: “Let’s logout, maybe Minty Mama is back.”

[Minty]: “She should be…”

[Siola]: “Let’s go…”

Weak and exhausted, we hit our logout button at the same time and awaken at our own capsule in reality. Waiting for the lid to open as it pumps out cold breeze from within.

“Urrgh, even though I have a better setup at home, this doesn’t come from the capsule, this tired bones! Goodness, the update is insane!”

I opened the door and slid into the living space, there I see Minty Mama and a guy. It’s…

“Minty Papa!”

“Oh, Siola? I heard you’ll be staying with us today, is that right?”

Hugs, “Yesh! Me will sleep with Minty Mama.”

“Whaaaat, but if you sleep with Minty Mama, then where will Minty Papa be sleeping?”

Looking up at him with puffed cheeks, “Minty Papa sleep on couch!”

“Awww.”

“Siola, sweetie. Here’s your dinner, and can you give this one to Minty?”

Big whole tray, I nodded “Mm.”

She and her husband smiles at me before I left to Minty’s door.

“Minty! Dinner!”

Door is opened but I don’t see anyone welcoming me. I squeeze myself in there and my brows raised after seeing Minty struggles to close the door without her parents seeing.

But she did in the end and we have dinner afterwards.

*Munch *Munch

Salty fish meat, and jelly tofu.

“Well?”

She jolted, “What?”

“Come on, you seriously thought that I wouldn’t ask you about THAT?”

Hesitant, “It’s just… they’re annoying.”

“…”

“…”

“Don’t stop now.”

“Well, I happened to meet this guy. Said he’s gonna get me in the Heavenly God Sword, but then the update happens so we had to postpone it. He just needs monthly payment for a year.”

“So, your mom found out about it?”

“Dad did.”

“Mm, so this guy. Is he like… legit?”

“Of course, he is. He’s one of the officers in the guild.”

“Hunh, so your intent on joining the guild is… why?”

“What else? If I can join Heavenly Sword Guild, I can earn more money. It’s their connections, their reach. Half of trades in Ekolia goes through them. They have physical vendors all over the region, physical auctions, people who wish to make a living ideally would join them. And they have one of the top rankers as a leader too.”

*Munch *Munch

“Are you listening?”

“Just wondering if you’re still going for it. What about our plans for making a vendor shop?”

“Siola, it’s…”

“Minty, your head is not working right.”

“Huh?”

“I mean you’re talking to me. Sure, I went through that weird phase and you saw it all unfold, but I’m still me, you know.”

“…”

“How about this, Minty. Just you and me. We do our own thing, make our own store. We make all the money from Ekolia and stuff your room here full of cash. If we ever fail, you can quit.”

“But why um… why, why would you help me?”

“I’m staying here for a while. Might as well, right?”

“So, you’ll stop and leave when you don’t?”

“Heheh, you’ll get two-weeks’ notice if that ever happens.”

Smiling as I look her in the eyes, and she smiles back. Nodding enthusiastically. After that dinner, Minty Mama washes the dishes with me hugging her butt with my face planted on the crack of her plump cloth-covered booty cheeks. Though, she ignores me.

Minty awkwardly came over and help her washes the dishes, I could see it, her mother smiling and somehow, it brought some warmth to my heart.

Usually, I’d play until midnight, but I have to consider Minty’s health this time around. Thus, I sleep now with Minty Mama with her boobies smothering me. And when I woke up, boi, them blobbious boha boha are the first thing I see.

“Boobies, tiddies.”

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“Love boobies and tiddies.”

‘I wanna go back to being a kid…’

I went to check on Minty.

Door is unlocked and I see her changing clothes, her big tiddy kept her clothes tight.

Whispering, “Minty!”

“Of fuck, S-Siola?! Don’t sneak up on me like that.”

“You ready to play?”

“Wh-What about breakfast?”

“We’ll just do brunch later on, yeah?”

“I guess.”

Each of us went to our own capsule, mine in Minty Mama’s bedroom. I give her tiddy a kiss before hopping into Ekolia. Flashes of light as I descend on where I left off.

“Good, you’re here. Ready for another grind?”

I nodded, “Mhm.”

And so, with our weapons in tow, energized with the fresh feeling of the morn, we went inside and wreak havoc to the poor sprites and mushrooms.

Tip of a goblin’s shiv punctured through its head. I cleaned it off this beautiful weapon and then throw it to another one coming up to me. Knife throwing is my friend’s specialty.

“Firebolt, firebolt. Firebolt!”

Rakuri’s teaching was pretty strict but me being me, it was nothing. I love her punishment too.

“Minty! If you have Mana Potion, give it to me!” yelling as I chug another Jelly. Continuing to send more firebolt in consistent interval.

It’s easy to drop everything when you just got something cool and getting excited by it, but opportunities lie in the moment. I was trying to take it easy, explore everything I hadn’t gotten a chance to, and I was given that opportunity thanks to Realism Mode. But no way I’m passing on this.

*Pant *Pant

“Goodness, that took quite a lot of me.”

It was well worth the effort though, considering how much it reduces the cost of the next cast and ones after that. Maybe not as useful now, but later on. It’s going to be something I’d thank my past self for. A [Power Throw] is good too, and a Psychomancy quest!

‘The trash magic that couldn’t even kill low level skeleton. And later on, almost every boss at a later stage of the game has resistance and outright immunity against mental attack.’

‘Still, NPC with a Psion class I’ve met was somewhat strong and I’ve never seen a player trying that class out, at least extensively. The requirements aren’t bad at all.’

“Siola, look! I got a couple of new skills and a quest too!”

“Ohoh?”

Guess I wasn’t the only one.

“Let me see.”

* Precision Shot (Passive) / Level 1 / Projectile attack upon target’s weak spot has increased 10% damage

* Steady Hand (Passive) / Level 3 / Increases balance when aiming a bow by 20%

* Long Shot (Passive) / Level 1 / Projectile attack on target beyond 50 meters have increased 10% damage

* Power Shot (Passive) / Level 2 / Releasing an arrow within the time window of a fully drawn bow will increase its damage by 25%

* Overdraw / Level 1 / Drawing an arrow over the limit will increase damage by 100% with a chance of breaking the bow / Cost: 300 Stamina

* Magic Marksman / Epic / Bring balance to your magic and arrow / Requirement 1: Obtain [Overdraw] / Requirement 2: Acquire [Tome of Silent Arrow] / Requirement 3: Acquire Enchanted Bow with innate spell / Reward: Class Evolution to [Magic Marksman] / Condition: Completing a Class Change will fail this Quest

[Siola]: “Ohhh, these look good. And Magic Marksman, any idea where to get those things it says?”

[Minty]: “Enchanted Bow with an innate ability— I mean, spell, innate spell is what it’s called now, but it’s still pretty expensive in the market. Like they cost about a week’s meal.”

[Siola]: “So, 25-35k?”

[Minty]: “No, silly, that’s YOUR meal. It’s around $5000-$8000, let me see.”

She opens the new cash shop and true that. The lowest cost of a bow that has an innate spell is indeed $5300, and she also searches for the tome and it costs $12000.

[Minty]: “That’s pretty steep. There’s no way I can convince my parents to let me buy this.”

[Siola]: “Do they have to know?”

[Minty]: “Well, I don’t keep my financials a secret, so they’d be worried.”

[Siola]: “Hmm, what if we just get them ourselves? You know where they drops?”

[Minty]: “Lol, it’s not that easy. I mean, it’s been three years I’ve been playing, and I never got it.”

[Siola]: “Well, that’s because you never actually look or try hard enough to get it.”

[Siola]: “Look at us, Minty. Just how much progress do we make in just two days, huh? What’s not to say that a single bow and a tome wouldn’t just be another two days of our time?”

Puckering her mouth and tucking it in, tempted.

[Minty]: “Alright, but first we gotta get out of here and have that brunch.”

[Siola]: “Heheh.”
