Chapter 6: Oh, Happy Day (6)

Chapter 6: Oh, Happy Day (6)

There is a saying that life is unpredictable.

That means the current misery could become the futures joy

This is my character?

But this was more than just misery. They say you never know what might happen, but the future of this trash is more than crystal clear.

Glass Body and Weak Mentality. A character that cant become a Warrior or even a Mage. The only option left was a social-type character, but

- Mukaba : LOLLLLLLLLL

- Jokass : LMAOOOOOOO

- Soygaybar : Now this is GG! Always so exciting!

The finished character crushed the last bit of hope I had left.

The ideal warrior of my dreams. The character looked like a true warrior, which looked about 1 million light years from a social type.

- Speedwagon : Youre seriously screwed.

- Highwaynachoman : LOLLLLLLL Im dyinggg

- Mukaba : Your appearance was your last hope and look at him LOLLLLLLL

- Holli : Uh. Are the looks really that important? Everyones making it sound like it is..

Yeah. It really is.

As if he had given up, Gyosu started explaining with empty eyes.

Like that hipster oldie always says, GG is obsessed with being realistic. Think about it. Imagine a nicely dressed, good-looking man walks up to you with a smile and says, May we talk for a moment? Then imagine a character like mine going, Hahahah! Oi! Lets talk! Which do you think would have better results?

- Holli : Oh.

Exactly. Of course, traits are the most important, but appearance also greatly impacts the gameplay.

I cut out a lot of details to shorten the explanation, but appearances were important in a lot of parts of the game. Like he just said, it affects the results of talking to NPCs, and it was one of the biggest things that affected relationships.

While Holli quietly realized the importance of appearances, Speedwagon seemed to realize something else and started talking to me.

- Speedwagon : Thats not the problem right now.

- professor :?

- Speedwagon : The trait Glass Body. Durability is permanently set to 90.

Yeah, and..?

- Speedwagon : If the durability is set to 90 no matter what, it means the durability will be even lower when its spread out. Youre already big, so your durability for each must already be low. But itll get even lower the bigger your body gets.

!!!

- Holli : :0

- Blood_N_Guns : That means.

- korekorekorekore : Its not just glass; its really thin glass LOLLLLLLLLL

- Speedwagon : The approximate difference would be like a normal glass pane to a glass microscope slide.

- Jokass : Ah, this body? This is what you call balloon muscles. Dont touch them. It hurts.

- Highwaynachoman : Your touch makes me feel like Ill explode~ actually explodes

Sighhhhh

I didnt even have enough energy to feel sad. My character is complete trash.

The character creation mustve been completed. I was looking at the tall figure when I spun around, and suddenly, my field of vision was a lot higher up.

<[Character Sync Complete]>

<[Our savior, please save the Gedroits Continent.]>

- korekorekorekore : Goddess : This.. is the savior?

-: The future of GG is dark indeed

As the snickering chat slowly glided away, my consciousness felt like it was floating. I made a firm determination for myself.

One month, Ill play for just one month, then quit!

Whoooosh-!

The bright light faded, and I stepped onto firm land with my new body.

I took a deep breath, then let it out.

Ahh~ This fresh air. Its been a while!

There was wind. It wasnt an aggressive, sand-filled wind, but a cool, light breeze. The green leaves in front of me blew around gently in the wind, and the small chirps of birds tickled my ears.

<[ Item : Contaminated Bandage x 2 ]>

I wrapped both hands with the bandages.

Sprained right hand. Bloody left palm.

What Ive done since starting. Stretching. Breaking a branch.

This isnt right. This this cant be right! It cant be! I cant even break one small tree branch! How can I save the world with this body!

- Soygaybar : LOLLLLLL Dont tell me you were going to try clearing the world with that body.

- Jokass : You are still an innocent child, professor. You still know how to dream.

- Speedwagon : Change your mindset. Dont think of it as the body you knew. Pretend youre wearing delicate glassware gloves.

Glassware you say

I sighed as I looked at my huge muscular body, which looked like it would be full of strength.

With that sigh, I also let out all my hopes and dreams, making me feel much better. Think of it as a 24-hour stealth mission. Sound means counteraction. Softly. Slowly.

To make a splint, I decided to use my weight instead of my strength. I used the rest of the bandages, wrapped my arms and legs, and slowly climbed up the tree. After firmly positioning myself on a relatively thick branch, I carefully started shaking my body.

Cr Crackkk!

I, it worked! Its breakin-gaaaaaaaah!!!

Boom!

Aghhhh!

<[Collected : Sturdy Branch x 3, Left shin sprained.]>

It wasnt even as tall as my waist!

I looked at my current condition. Right wrist sprained, left leg sprained, and left palm splintered. 2 of my 4 limbs were utterly useless, and one was hard to move freely. And all of this happened while I was trying to get a branch for a sturdy splint.

I picked up the sturdy branch on the ground.

Ding-!

Item: Sturdy Branch

- A branch broken off of a tree that can be seen anywhere. It can be used for a kindle or a cane.

+ Player Knowledge : The wood grain is good, and its strength is okay too. I could use this as a weapon.

One Handed Blunt Weapon / 3 Attack / 45 Durability

Wow..

Player Knowledge was exactly what it meant. It wasnt knowledge gained from observing this world; it was knowledge you already had. I had a side job as a blacksmith on the World 2 dual-wield warrior I had. That must be why I have this knowledge.

45 Durability? Its half of my body?

Since my body is 90 durability, if someone had the strength to break 2 of those branches at once, they could fold me literally in half.

Hah, wow. Im not even mad anymore.

I wrapped and tightened the bandage on the wood.

Ding-!

<[Improvised Contaminated Splint x 2 : Made from unprocessed wood and contaminated bandages. It wont help with healing, but it will prevent the sprained areas condition from worsening.]>

Well, that worked out eventually.

2 of the 3 branches I got by spraining my leg were used as a splint for my arm and leg, and the other one I used as a cane.

My arm and leg were wrapped with a splint and bandage. With my ragged clothes and a makeshift cane, I looked just like a wounded soldier.

Lets go to a village first.

This was what happened just from existing. The second a wild dog appeared on the road, I would feel the pain of being eaten alive while waving the 500 thousand Shilling account bye-bye.

My entire body hurt so much that my head was shaking, and my painful headache was so bad I couldnt think.

Lets hurry.

Thunk, drag.

Thunk, drag.

Gyosu slowly limped his way towards the castle wall he saw in the distance.

Finally, his adventure has started.

Angels Corner

Yow, my guys! I dont know if youve already noticed, but some sentences suddenly shift to third-point-of-view. Yeah, its just how its written. I thought of changing those to first pov for consistency, but, meh, it has its own charm, I guess. The author & translator decided to do it that way, so I gotta abide.

Anyways, our warrior-looking with a body as fragile as glass, Gyosu, is finally starting his adventure to death for survival!
