The chirping of birds echoed in my ears. When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to find myself waking up in an unfamiliar place.
(Hmm... Where am I? A forest? How did I end up here? The last thing I rember...)
• • •
"Damn it! This is beyond our expectations!"
"Yeah, my potions are almost gone."
"What should we do now?"
"It seems we have no choice but to use that."
"Right, our last trump card."
"..."
"Luna! How much ti do you need?"
"Give fifteen-no-no, ten minutes."
"Alright, we’ll hold them off!"
"Everyone, let’s give Luna enough ti!"
"YAAA!!!"
• • •
"Luna! Are you ready yet?"
"I’m here!"
"Huff, finally... I can’t hold them off any longer."
"Yeah, too. My potions are all gone."
"My mana’s completely drained."
"Hey, hey, how about we et up later?"
"Like for a al or sothing?"
"Yeah, let’s gather together."
"That’s a great idea!"
"I agree!"
"Alright, see you on the other side."
"Yes, until we et again."
Shortly after, a massive, fiery red stone appeared from the sky. It crashed down, hitting us all with the boss at its epicenter. The impact sent a powerful shockwave outward, followed by an unavoidable explosion. A blinding white light consud everything, and then... nothing.
When I opened my eyes, I saw countless trees surrounding . Sunlight pierced through the gaps in the canopy. I awoke beneath a large tree surrounded by a flower garden. I looked around, but all I could see was forest in every direction.
"Why am I here? I should’ve respawned in the city where I last saved at a checkpoint1. Is this a bug2? Hmm, maybe. But sothing feels off..."
What felt strange was that I could feel the wind against my skin. I could also sense the texture of everything I touched. Looking around again, I noticed that everything had such incredible graphics—it felt like reality, or even better.
Is this a new patch? But I didn’t see any announcent for an update. That ans there’s only one conclusion: this is real. Is this like those novels and comics I’ve read?
While I was deep in thought, I felt sothing heavy on my chest. When I looked down, "Is this...?!" I said. I reached out and touched it, and sure enough, it was a real breast. They were so large they didn’t fit in my hand, soft and bouncy.
I also noticed my long legs clad in black high-knee boots, paired with a revealing slit in a dark purple elegant gown exposing my thighs. I wore black lace gloves, and my hair was long, shiny, and silver.
Seeing these traits, I realized I was still in my ga avatar’s body. This was the outfit my avatar wore in the last boss event. It’s true—I’ve been reincarnated into my avatar. The thought excited a little because I had always wished for sothing like this.
So, what now?
After pondering for a while, I decided to gather information about this world. For that, I needed to find a human settlent. I stood up and looked around again. Sothing ca to mind...
"Ah, right... Status Window!"
When I called it out, a holographic window appeared in front of . There was my avatar with all its equipnt—except for my magic staff. My inventory contained my staff, spare gear, buff foods, potions left from the previous fight, and so unfamiliar items.
"What are these?"
After inspecting the items, I rembered—they were loot drops from the last boss event. I took out two items to examine: the Staff of the Lord of Darkness and the Dark Lord’s Cape. Satisfied, I stored the staff again; carrying around a skull-headed staff would only make people think I’m an evil witch.
Everything else in the inventory was intact, and my avatar’s status was the sa: a High Elf, level 600. Once ready, I equipped my legendary crescent-moon-shaped staff.
I thought of flying to save ti, but decided to explore on foot instead to savor the journey.
[Five minutes later]
I was sitting on a fallen tree after slipping repeatedly. Walking in heels for the first ti on forest paths was a challenge. Resting for a bit, I continued walking, using my staff as a walking stick.
After an hour, I ca across a crossroads. While deciding which path to take, faint howls and human voices reached my ears. The sounds grew louder until I saw three girls running toward .
The first was a brown-haired girl dressed like a Priest or Healer, followed by a red-haired girl dressed as a Mage, and lastly, a green-haired girl carrying a bow—an Archer.
Finally, other people!
Just as I was about to greet them, the Priest grabbed my hand and pulled along, running. Startled, I followed. Behind us, silver wolves chased after us.
The Mage launched fireballs, and the Archer shot arrows to slow them down. Adjusting to my heels, I no longer stumbled. After several minutes, we stopped abruptly at the edge of a cliff, overlooking a raging river below.
"Damn it, a dead end," said the Mage.
"We should go back before the wolves catch up," said the Healer.
But before we could retreat, the wolves erged.
"What now? Should we jump?" asked the Healer.
"But the currents are strong, and we don’t know what’s down there," the Archer replied.
The Archer glanced at and gasped. Upon closer inspection, she was an Elf, judging by her slightly shorter ears compared to my High Elf features. She bowed respectfully.
"My apologies for any disrespect; I didn’t realize you were a noble," she said.
"What?! She’s a noble?!" exclaid the Healer.
"She might just be a rich adventurer in expensive clothes," said the Mage.
"You can tell by her ears. Longer ears, like mine, signify commoners, while shorter ears, like hers, indicate nobility," the Elf explained.
Their attention returned to the wolves. Since I had t them, I couldn’t let them die. Using Identify, I checked their stats. The Mage was level 48, the Elf level 49, and the Healer level 47. The wolves were level 44-46—relatively low compared to the ga.
"Leave this to ," I declared.
They exchanged doubtful looks. "Are you sure?" asked the Healer.
"Yes, don’t worry."
I stepped forward, facing the wolves. One charged at , and on instinct, I aid my staff and shouted:
"FIREBALL!"
A fiery orb shot from my staff, exploding on impact and incinerating the wolf.
The girls were stunned. The Healer thought, (One hit! She must be powerful!), while the Mage wondered, (She cast without chanting? Who is she?).
Encouraged by my success, I tried more spells. Another wolf lunged at . I cast:
"WIND CUTTER!"
A crescent-shaped wind sliced through, splitting the wolf in two. The remaining wolves started retreating.
I stomped my staff and cast:
"EARTH SPIKE!"
Earthen spikes erged beneath the wolves, skewering them instantly.
The girls watched in awe, witnessing magic without chanting for the first ti. For them, this was an unforgettable encounter.
