Original subtitles

What affects us are the changes to some of the skills.

There's a limit to the numbers of times we can use Devour now.

You're right. It can only be used ten times a day.

There's nothing we can do about that.

A shield that can devour anything and turn it into magical power

is too strong.

There's also defense-piercing stuff.

That means you can get hurt too.

The developers must've come up with this because of you.

Making the monsters' AI more powerful is to avoid having more players like you.

If everyone can get Absolute Defense, the game balance will be ruined.

Although you can get hurt now,

isn't that cooler?

The special effects of the damage power will make you seem more invincible.

-Take this! -Take this!

We can't knock her out no matter what we do!

That damn monster!

It's my turn!

Hydra!

What do you think?

Not bad!

There's a restriction.

What should we do today?

Should we challenge ourselves to reach the second floor?

We could do that,

but I've only been going to the underground lake,

so I haven't looked around the first floor yet.

If possible, I want to go to the places I've never been to before.

Now that you mention it,

there are many places I still haven't visited too.

Then let's just roam around today.

Maybe there will be some nice things in the shops.

I'll buy this skill!

Cover Move?

Yes!

With this, I can be at your side right away whenever you're in danger.

Thank you for coming!

Sorry for making you wait.

It's a weapon store!

Mai, it's better to start off with buying a stronger weapon, right?

But if we spend too much money,

it'll be a problem if we have no money to buy potions later on.

So cute!

It reminds me of when I was still a newbie.

We're still considered newbies, you know.

Right.

Let's buy a weapon!

But...

Gosh, Mai. Hurry and decide.

Maple, do you still have any money?

Yes.

I still have some left after paying for a new shield from Iz.

Then do you want to go over there?

Welcome!

Please come in.

You're like a celebrity.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Awesome! There's so much variety!

Seriously!

STRAWBERRY TART

There's a seasonal item!

I want this one.

Then I'll go with this one.

These are the items you've ordered.

They look so real!

Please enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

Let's dig in!

-It's delicious! -It's delicious!

This would be really expensive in the real world!

Plus, we don't have to worry about calories!

Exactly!

I wonder when the next event is.

I hope we'll be able to join in pairs!

The first event was a battle royale, right?

I don't want to battle against you!

They've just announced the next event.

You're Maple, aren't you?

You won third place in the last event.

Yes.

You are...

You should at least remember my name!

I was the second-place winner, Dred.

I'm Drag. I came in fifth.

You talked to Frederica before, right?

It's a pleasure to meet you.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Who is Frederica?

You asked her where you could fight monsters before.

That's right!

She was surprised too.

She didn't imagine a newbie she gave advice to

would suddenly win third place at the event.

Oh, it's nothing.

I was just lucky.

Oh, it's true!

The second event will be held next weekend.

We can form teams!

That's great! We can join it together!

If we run into each other, please go easy on us.

Dred was second place and Drag was fifth place.

You guys aren't easy to defeat either.

We're all right.

But even if the two of us join hands, we can't win Payne.

Payne?

You don't know Payne?

He was the champion of the last event who won by a huge margin.

He was also the fastest to get to the second floor.

He's an outstanding player.

I didn't know there could be someone so skilled!

The world really is huge.

We're going to work on leveling up now.

How about you girls?

There are still some places we haven't seen on the first floor.

We want to look around.

We haven't decided where to go yet.

Do you have any recommendations?

Recommendations?

Let's see...

If you have time, why don't you visit the North Forest?

I heard there's a mission to get the Super Acceleration skill at night.

But it may be a bit difficult for girls.

Are you going to go try it?

Yes!

What did he mean by "it may be a bit difficult for girls"?

I don't know.

But don't you feel a rush of excitement after hearing that?

Sally, are you okay?

This is just a game.

All right! I'm fine!

You don't look fine...

Should we leave?

Why don't we run? Let's do that.

Such beautiful flames!

There's a green one!

Over there! Let's go there!

I guess that's what he meant by "it may be a bit difficult for girls."

But I'm a girl too.

It's shabby here.

Should I go explore around?

I'll leave it to you.

You've always been terrified of ghosts.

I can't focus on any missions anymore.

Goodness, I might as well just go offline.

It seems they won't come in if we stay in here.

They're here! Over at the table!

At the table?

It seems there's a basement.

It hurts! It really hurts!

He doesn't seem to have ill intentions.

This must be how we trigger the mission.

What should we do?

He's screaming in pain, so we should heal him.

Potion!

It really hurts!

It didn't work?

I have a healing skill.

Then he's all yours!

It hurts...

Heal!

It's working!

But it seems I have to use it a few more times.

Heal!

Heal!

Heal!

This is the last time!

Heal!

Thank you.

Is he going to Heaven?

It seems so.

Look!

It's the Super Acceleration skill!

That really was a mission!

It's so late already.

Let's log off after we finish looking around here.

There's actually still one more place I want to visit.

Where is this place?

Fire Ball!

This is an area with an eternal sunset.

If you come here, you can see this scenery anytime.

Seeing a sunset at night time feels incredible.

What is that?

It's a Red Ochre Pearl Oyster.

There's one here too!

This must be a souvenir.

I wonder if this can be used as a material.

We can probably exchange it for money.

We should keep it safe.

True. It's a pity to just sell it off.

It was such a happy day today!

Let's work on leveling up and collecting skills tomorrow.

We need to get to the second floor before the event!

By the way, you said there's still a place you want to visit. Where is it?

About that...

Look forward to it next time!

What the heck? Tell me!

No. I'll tell you after we get to the second floor.

How dare you!

Take that!

Damn you!

This is the entrance to the second floor.

Okay, let's hurry in.

Is it okay here?

It's fine.

It's coming.

Leave it to me!

Devour!

It worked!

There's more!

The Devour skill really is powerful.

But now, I've already used it four times.

I can only use it six more times today.

That scared me!

A bear is coming at us too?

Maple, you take care of our defense.

Okay!

Mirage...

What?

That's weird.

-I was clearly holding the shield... -You can do it!

What was that just now?

It's a skill called Mirage.

I wanted to test it out to prepare for the event.

We're almost there.

Let's go.

This place...

This must be the Boss Room.

It's coming.

Hydra!

What?

There must be something about the magic circle!

There's probably some mechanism on it somewhere.

I need to look at it closely.

Can you fend it off by yourself for now?

I got it!

Provocation!

Wind Cutter!

That's it!

Attack that apple!

Hydra!

The apples all fell!

Wind Cutter!

Awesome! It works!

Here comes the ultimate move!

Maple!

Maple!

It seems it'll take her some time to wake up.

There's no other choice.

I'll kill it off!

Double Slash!

Fire Ball!

Will it not work from here?

Wind Cutter!

It should end here now.

Power Attack!

Oh, right! I have to battle!

What?

I took care of it while you were sleeping.

I don't feel very satisfied.

Oh, it's okay.

At least we've reached the second floor!

You can show off your skills next time!

Maple.

It's Iz!

Iz, you got to the second floor too?

Yes. I've also opened a shop here.

Is this your friend?

Yes, her name is Sally.

Hello!

I always hear a lot about you from Maple.

I'm Iz, a crafter. Nice to meet you!

By the way,

I finished the item you requested.

Really?

Thank you!

It's amazing! So beautiful!

This is my best piece of work!

What are you going to call it?

Snow White! I'll call it Snow White!

That's a great name.

Its power is all vitality points so that it fits your playing style.

It's great you got it in time for the second event.

To celebrate...

This is the place you wanted to visit?

I heard something will happen if you sit down.

Then, let's shout "get set" and sit down!

-Get set! -Get set!

What is this?

"A Small Taste of the Big Skies."

"Please enjoy it."

How is it, Maple?

It's the taste of strawberries, oranges, and apples all at once.

And this one...

Sally! Your hair is glowing!

What?

Maple, your eyes look weird too!

It'll go back to normal, right?

It should after some time.

It's only been a month,

but it feels like we've gone really far.

At first, you were even reluctant.

That was a long time ago!

Hopefully, we'll do well in the second event.

Yes.

I'm a bit nervous as it's my first time participating in an event.

I see a lot of familiar faces from last time.

It seems everyone's interested in joining the events.

Chrome!

Long time no see!

You've got a new shield.

Yes!

I have to save Devour for crucial moments.

Is that your infamous friend?

Yes, she's Sally.

What? Infamous?

Oh, no. It's nothing.

Listen up!

The Kingdom of the Flame Emperor will build a reputation at this event!

If you stand with me,

I promise you we'll gain victory!

Bear the pride of our guild!

Even if it's to the end of the Earth, as long as you follow my every step,

our burning passion will scorch the Heavens and the Earth!

Am I right?

-Yes! -Yes!

They're full of motivation.

That's a guild called the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor.

Flame Emperor?

The Kingdom of the Flame Emperor.

Their leader has really powerful fire skills.

-Her name is Mii. -Let's rise together!

-She placed fourth in the last event. -With our passion,

-She's a really strong player. -we will be the champions!

-Mii? -We'll conquer this event.

Her name sounds so cute, but she's so fierce!

Wow!

It's almost the countdown to the second event!

This event will be in the form of a treasure hunt.

There are 300 silver medals scattered all over the map of the event.

If you collect ten of them, they will become a gold medal!

Gold medals can be used to exchange for skills or equipment after the event!

It's the same as the one I got last time!

The top ten players of the last event each already has one gold medal.

You can steal them by killing the players,

or avoid battle and focus on hunting for coins!

Oh, so it wasn't just a souvenir.

I got a gold medal for placing ninth.

We better watch out.

Yes!

The countdown begins now!

Five...

Four...

Three...

-We can do this! -Two...

-Yes! -One!

THE SECOND EVENT BEGINS!

OH!

I'M EXCITED!

MAPLE, YOU CAN DO IT!
