Hilda stares at the monster which she now recognises as a monkey before approaching it as she creates an illusion of herself, but with a bigger weapon to look more dangerous and attract attention.
As she and the her clones approaches the level 3 monkey, it attacks the clone causing it to partially dissipate and reform quickly disturbing Hilda''s concentration slightly.
As the monkey goes through the clone, Hilda takes the opportunity to bash the monkey with a rock killing it.
Honestly, this rock is so annoying, if only I could find a better weapon.
Hilda looks around and finds the body of the horse she had recently killed and approaches it.
Hey, it''s horn looks rather useful, I could probably use it.
Hilda tries to pull the horn out but fails.
Hey system, use my trait!
Warning, trait “sis con” will temporarily be deactivated in a minute.
Warning:user may suffer recoil after deactivation.
Just do it and increase my strength!
Hilda suddenly feels a surgery of strength as she rips the horn out along with the entire spine of the horse, causing her to nearly fall backwards.
System deactivate my trait…
User did not over strain trait sufficiently, recoil is not triggered
Nice… but this. Hilda pulls out the rest of the spine with the horn.
Oh… this is messed up.
She goes away from the body as the water nearby is all bloodied as she cleans the horn and the spine with the cleaner water before taking the rock and bashing the part connecting the horn and spine to make use of the horn.
Okay, this works.
Hilda turns back to the mangled up horse.
Sorry horsie, but this is for a greater course I promise.
She takes the fish that she caught before and…
Wait, how do I cook this? I''m not eating this raw… guess I''m not eating this.
Is there anything in the shop?
Hilda opens the shop and ties to filter out food and sees a. Abundance of different foods.
What are these? Hilda eagerly looks through some of the more luxurious foods but looks at the price and goes back to the more basic ones.
Oh my god… the skill function was 200 points and each skill was 100 but there''s food here costing 300…
At Least the cheaper ones are just 10 to 20…
Hilda buys a plain bowl of rice and fish to finish before continuing to look for lifeforms to kill and train her illusion magic.
As Hilda goes around and continues to test her ability out, it levels up soon after.
Wow, that was fast probably due to it being level 0.
Hmm let me check its description real quick.
Can cast any illusion, the more the total volume, the harder it is to cast and maintain.
Any illusions? Does that mean that I can make myself invisible?
Hilda tries it but quickly gets a headache.
Okay, making myself invisible is a lot harder than illusions.
Notifications are important!
Eventually starting in 2 days
Details.
That''s so sudden… well? Show me the details already and stop wasting my time.
Details:
All users who die will be revived after the event ends.
This event will consist of three parts.
A hide and seek game.
A round of killing monsters(all xp earned will be delayed until after the event)
Lastly, a death match.
More details will be provided at the time of the event.
All rewards will be distributed and decided based on performance.
What a joy… I wonder how Lela is doing though.
—----------------------------------------------
Lela''s pov
—----------------------------------------------
Finally awake, what''s the time?
…
Huh??
11?!
I''m gonna be late for school, why didn''t she wake me up?!
Dammit!
Lela quickly prepares for school as she sees the letter left by her sister.
Huh, what''s this? This is just a stupid joke I bet, but since she said that I don''t need to go school than So be it.
For the rest of the day, Lela lazes around the house and plays games till night.
Seriously, when is she coming back?
Lela goes back to the letter and looks for any details on the letter saying where she is actually but finds the money under.
What''s this? Where did she get so much, weren''t we broke?
She starts counting the amount and finds a total of 20,000 plus.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
What''s this, isn''t this my school fees for the rest of the year and the next 5, including tuition?
Lela starts to try and call Hilda but gets a robotic voice responding saying that the number is no longer no in use.
She looks at the. Note again and read the part where it says that she''ll see her again in 5 years.
No way I''m waiting 5 years.
She goes to the police and files and reports Hilda as missing.
The next day, she gets a visit saying they weren''t able to find her but that they will keep looking.
Lost, she goes back to her room and glances back and forth at the letter and the money.
Fine… I''ll just believe her, she better have a good explanation for this. We never left each other even when we became homeless and we lost our parents, so I refuse to believe that she just disappeared for no reason at all.
So five years huh? That''s going to be a long time.
—----------------------------------------------
Hilda''s pov
—----------------------------------------------
I''ve been hunting for monsters for a while already without any sleep due to preparing for this damn event, but I''m officially level 12 now, somebody took the first to level 10 achievement and second to level 10, causing my achievement to be reduced down to.
Third to level 10.(Rare)
Increases experience by (5) percent decreased to (3) due to being third to reach level 10.
This only happened due to me training my mental magic too much, not that I think about it, I bet they all have combat skills don''t they? How annoying.
I wonder if I can turn invisible now?
Hilda turns herself invisible, expecting a severe headache once again only to find herself experiencing a slight headache.
I can make do of this, now how many clones can I make?
Hilda tries making her clones and manages to make 7.
Ok, this can work, but I need a proper weapon now.
Hilda looks through the shop and finds a decent epic rarity weapon suited in the recommendations section but can''t afford it or even check its description.
I need a better weapon anyways so let me try killing the level 15 mini boss I just found around here
Skill level up.
Low level illusion magic. (2)--->(3)
Oh yea, I managed to get it to 2 while hunting just now, it''s been getting so much harder to level it.
This will reduce the headaches I get, so I guess this is a sign I should try fighting it?
Hilda goes and looks for the level 15 mini boss before finally spotting it.
Let me check it first.
Race:wyvern
Bloodline:true dragon(2 percent)
Level 15
Stats.
(36 S) (36 E) (18 A) (12 M)
Warning, due to being a mini boss, stats have been increased by 50 percent.
Achievement second to kill a level 5 monster(epic) increasing users level temporarily by 4.
Screw it, I learnt that all monsters have a weak spot regardless of what it is.
My own stats are.
(13 S) (13 E) (13 A) (8 M)
System, am I able to use my trait in this situation?
Yes.
How much can I increase my stats without over straining it?
7.
Ok, invest 2 of that into agility and the rest strength.
Hilda feels her strength increasing once again as she charges at the wyvern with 4 of her clones, making them disappear and reappearing along with making her invisible and reappear while changing locations randomly with the clones to confuse it.
It lets out a loud screech as it breathes fire at her and the clones as she avoids it barely and makes her clones disappear to avoid suffering a lashback from her clones getting destroyed.
Crap, I guess even if it''s not a dragon, it''s still related.
She creates another 5 clones, with one xtra to take her place and distract the wyvern as she climbs onto its back and attacks its wings making it screech in pain before throwing her off.
Dammit, I didn''t get its wing, I can''t have it flying off.
She makes herself invisible again as she continues using her clones to distract it before making them all attack it to distract it further after she''s near enough.
She stabs the right wing one last time causing it to be very loose to the point where it can''t fly anymore.
Ok, nice.
As she quickly runs to avoid being thrown off, she watches as it backs up against a couple of trees, with nowhere to run she tries to climb back up, but it instantly reacts by swinging its tail over once she touches it making her get sent far and cough some blood out.
Fuck that hurt…
She narrowly dodges as the wyvern breaths more fire at her again forcing herself to run as she thinks of an idea.
Crap, what to do, it won''t fall for the same trick again.
Maybe I could do this.
She creates another 4 clones and makes them attack, eventually landing some hits but not causing damage due to being an illusion.
Right.. I just need to keep this up.
As she continues, the wyvern stops attacking those who are aiming for the non vital body parts, but attacking the ones aiming for its neck or face.
Seeing this, Hilda attacks its forelegs causing it to screech in pain again, and keeps attacking the forelegs of the wyvern causing it to focus only on protecting its legs.
Now!
She quickly jumps at the wyverns face, attacking its eyes causing it to screech in pain once more as it starts to swing its claw in all directions, missing her as she keeps stacking.
After a while, it lies on the ground almost motionless.
Right, I''ve won this. Hilda prepares to bring the horn she got from the horse down onto his neck, finishing it off as it stands up again causing Hilda to back off.
It shouldn''t have any strength left in that state, what is it doing?
Hilda watches as it faces upwards and breaths out a fiery substance.
Fire again? What''s that gonna do?
The fiery substance starts coming back down to the ground causing Hilda to attempt to run away.
Crap! That''s magma not fire!!!
Hilda retreats as finds herself to be blocked by the fallen trees, creating a barrier much higher than she can jump over.
system, use all stats from my trait onto my endurance!
Affirmative.
Overstrain my trait if you have to!
Not suggested, if user faints here, high chance of being attacked by monsters die to the big commotion caused, or burnt by the magma.
Dammit!
She turns around, and shields her face with her arms, gritting her teeth as she sees the magma about to hit her.
She shouts in pain as the magma lands on her arms, and some on her leg as she slowly walks, enduring the pain to the nearby lake she found on the way, holding back some tears from the unbearable pain.
She goes into the lake, submerging the burns in the cold water, but the pain doesn''t go away.
The only reason I managed to deal with that was thanks to the extra willpower from my trait…
She opens the shop to look for anything that could be of help to help her burnt arms with a bit of exposed bones, and most pain receptors burnt.
As she searches for items to help her heal, she mentally selects a healing pill costing 100 points simply named.
healing pill
The healing effect can heal lost chunks of flesh and parts of vital organs, but it is not all powerful.
She quickly swallows it as it appears in mid air as she feels a surgery of pain, much worse than better as her flesh begins to heal back causing her to nearly faint from the pain.
Crap!
She calms herself down as she looks at her hands still with some 3rd degree burns on them.
Screw it, still much better than before.
Her thoughts get interrupted as a couple notifications appear.
Level up 2x
Trait has been improved slightly.
Achievement unlocked
Second to kill a level 15 monster(epic)
Tip coupon.
First to kill a mini boss(legendary)
When fighting a mini boss, stats are increased by 10 percent.
Survivor, first to survive a near death situation. (Legendary)
When taking lethal damage for the first time during the day, the damage will be reduced to barely below lethal damage, and all pain will be reduced by 80 percent for 5 seconds and all injuries will not get worse from users own action for 5 seconds unless intentional.
First to kill a life form with a percentage of at least true dragon in its bloodline.
Stats will increase when fighting lifeforms with true dragon blood, stats increase depending on amount of true dragon blood.
Skill level up.
Low level illusion magic (3)-->(5)
Wow, how nice, anyways, for the main reason I did this.
Hilda opens the shop and goes to check her recommendations for the weapon she wanted.
Mind slasher.(Epic)
When attacking, causes a slight mental attack towards the opponents, and can switch to mental damage state.
Mental damage state: this sword will not cause physical harm, but will cause anything ranging from severe migraines or even temporary loss of a lifeform''s senses depending on where the user attacked.
When attacked by this weapon, the one attacked will become more susceptible to mental magic(can be resisted completely or partially based on opponents mental resistance.)
Changing of states can be done by injecting a bit of mana into the hilt completely, while injecting mana into the blade can increase either the sharpness of the weapon, or the strength of the mental attack.
Cost 1000 points.
Killing that stupid wyvern gave me 1500 points anyways, so I should be good for now.
Anyways, to celebrate I''m gonna go buy a small cake in the shop.
Hilda looks around the shop and realizes that there is not a single dessert in sight.
What a shame honestly, well I guess I''ll just settle for a normal dish, probably rice and fish again.
Hilda eats up reluctantly and admires her sword design and sharpness.
Hmm, a better mask than this Christmas one would help too, I bet I look stupid in this.
Hilda opens the shop and sees a mask in the recommendations.
Oh yea, it could read my mind.
She buys the mask for 150 points.
Mental mask.(Rare)
This mask only covers a person''s mouth and nose, and can purify some weak level prisons and smell.
This mask passively creates a mental barrier around the user''s face(can be seen through by anyone with high enough mental resistance.)
150 points.
Oh, this is so much more comfortable, but my temporary abundance of points feels so less now…
It''s nearly night, I''ve got to find a place to rest.
Hilda looks around and finds a cave along with a couple of level 1 lesser bats which she slices through easily, not caring to even test the mental state function of the sword.
As she reaches the end of the cave, she buys a small lamp and outdoor tent from the shop for a total of 50 points as she goes to sleep for the night.
