Transfer 01 [Beginning Player (Liber)]

<<6 months ago

Kuro Kanata.
He was just an ordinary high school student.
You could even say it's too ordinary.

He didn't get good grades in class so he couldn't be called smart or genius.

He is not a rich man or a descendant of a businessman.

He doesn't have many friends.
The number of friends at school can even be counted with the fingers.

“……………..”

Who cares about that?

His parent said to make 100 friends when entering school, but Kuro didn't do it.

No, From the start it was impossible for him.

He's the type of person who doesn't get along easily.
Maybe this is the reason he has no friends.

He came home from school as usual.
Alone, without friends.
His only friend was a bamboo sword that he always carried with him wherever he went.

He is not a member of the kendo club.
He carried a bamboo sword only to protect himself.

From what? From all the things that made him feel threatened.

Even though it's a bit useless in this day and age but it never hurts to be on guard.

The year 2039.

Technology is now very advanced.
Now it can even be compared to the technology in science fiction films.
But the most advanced technology is probably VR (Virtual Reality) technology and all computer things

“…………….”

He stopped at a red light and saw a giant screen that was on a high-rise building.

The big screen displayed news about Celestial Soul Online, the most famous VR Game at the moment.

Since its launch 1.5 years ago, Celestial Soul Online, which is abbreviated as CSO, has had 2 billion players worldwide.
That is the amount of 1/4 the current number of humans.

His classmates always talk about CSO at every break.
They were always discussing how to defeat monsters, get rare items, and so on.

Kuro didn't understand all that.

He wasn't one of the CSO Players, so this was natural.
No.
In the first place, he didn't want to know.

The light turns green.
He walked again along with dozens of other people.

He went to the station and boarded one of the Shinkansen.

Even though it was crowded, hot, and uncomfortable, Kuro remained silent and didn't complain.
This happens everyday and probably, it's the same for most people.

He doesn't care even if he saw people taking advantage of the odds.
He doesn't want to be a late hero.

After an hour, Kuro arrived at his hometown, Fubuku City.

He walks to his house.

About 15 minutes, he arrived home in old Japanese style.

Kuro's house is actually rare nowadays.
Most of the buildings have been replaced with apartments and concrete buildings.

Kuro's house is not too big but has a large yard.
His house was his grandfather's long-dead house.

He doesn't live alone.
There was one person who lived with him in the house.

Ruko Kanata.
She is Kuro's younger sister.

They were cousins and were not related by blood, but since they had been together since childhood, she was like Kuro's little sister.

He went up the stairs and reached his room.

There was a cute decoration with a heart that said 'Kuro's room' on the door.
Of course, it wasn't made by him, it was Ruko's gift for his 14th birthday.

He turned the doorknob and slowly opened the door.

“Guah…!!”

He was shocked and felt pain in his stomach from being hit by an attack.
The attack was a ramming of Ruko's head.

Kuro's consciousness disappeared for a moment and upon awakening, he found Ruko already on top of him.

His bamboo sword and bag lay not far from his current position.

“Onii-chan…”

“What?”

“Suurpriseee…!!”

“…………..”

He didn't quite understand, but he was indeed surprised.

He didn't expect to be attacked by his sister.

“Thanks for the surprise.”

“Tch…
Onii-chan baka.”

“What do you mean? Get up, you're heavy!!”

Ruko's face immediately turned red.
Not out of shame, but out of anger.

“Onii-chan baka.
Why do you say I'm fat? I'm the prettiest girl in my school.
Nobody ever said I was fat…
I've indeed gained weight lately, but it's only 0.5 kg.
onii-chan do You know how many people want to be you in your current position, but you just don't care!.
Uguuu… Onii-chan baka…!!”

“……………?”

Kuro didn't understand what Ruko meant.

He admits Ruko is the cutest girl he knows.

Straight black hair like a goddess.
Slim body, and beautiful curves.
Her breasts are not too big, but not too small either.

She is a goddess.

But to Kuro, Ruko is just a little sister.
Even though he was now wearing a thin t-shirt that exposed most of his snow-white skin, or even now that Ruko was on top of him, Kuro didn't feel anything.

A spoiled sister.
That's Ruko in Kuro's eyes.

“Onii-chan..
Baka! Uguu…ua uaaasuaauau…”

Ruko sobbing.

Seeing that, Kuro sighed deeply.

“Stop your tears and get out of the way.
I want to quickly change clothes and train at the dojo.”

“Tch..”

Ruko twisted her tongue and stopped crying.

“Onii-chan, are you a normal boy?”

Ruko got up and moved away from Kuro's body.

“What do you mean? I'm normal.”

Kuro took his bag and bamboo sword.
He went into his room, but a foot blocked him like a railroad bar.

“You know, I can see your red panties.”

“That's what I mean by a normal boy.
Onii-chan is not interested at all, even though you see my panties.”

“I'm not disinterested, but if I thought of you as a girl, I would rape you every day.”

“Wow…”

Ruko's face turned bright red.

Taking the opportunity when Ruko was caught off guard, Kuro was finally able to enter his room.

Kuro's room is not too big.
One bedroom.
Desks for study, bookshelves, computers, and porn magazines.

“……………..”

Wait, Porn magazines?

Why is that thing in his room?

“Ruko……
You messed up my room again?”

“Onii-chan is cruel.
I didn't expect you to have big breasts on your taste…”

“……….”

He didn't want to reply.

He was a normal teenage boy, of course, he was interested in such things, but the porn magazines in his room were not his.

It was a gift from his friend (?).
Even though he couldn't remember the name of the person who gave it to him, he couldn't show porn magazines to his sister.

“I know Onii-chan is a grown man, but I didn't expect Onii-chan to like mature women more than your cutest sister in the world.”

“…………”

“Onii-chan baka !”

Ruko shed tears and left Kuro's room.

(She is angry for no apparent reason again.
Well…
I guess this is for the best, …probably.)

Inwardly Kuro was grateful for the porn magazine a friend gave him whose name he didn't even remember.

Kuro put down his bag and bamboo sword.
He then picked up a pornographic magazine with a cover of adult women posing sexy with skimpy clothes.

That's when he heard footsteps coming toward his room.

Of course, that person was-

“Onii-chan, why don't you come after me?”

“Huh?”

Ruko immediately showed a surprised expression when she saw the object in Kuro's hand.

“O-Onii-chan you idiot!!”

Ruko left again.

This time Kuro even heard Ruko's crying sound quite loudly.

“…………”

Why is he the bad guy here?

Kuro sighed and then went to the bathroom.

(I hope Mom and Dad come home soon.
Frankly, I can't help myself..)

He prayed that he could still control himself.

As a man, he might be tempted by Ruko's beauty, but right now he could still think that Ruko was his sister.

After changing clothes and going to the dojo not far from the main house to practice kendo.

3 hours passed.
Kuro was full of sweat and tiredness made him gasp for breath.

In his hand a real katana sword he gripped tightly.

The katana sword in his hand was a sword that had been in his family since the Edo period.
This is because the Kuro family is a descendant of samurai, more precisely the kind of samurai who were famous at that time.

After putting the sword back in its place, Kuro went to the bathroom to get rid of the sweat and body odor.

And in that bathroom, he got a second surprise from Ruko.

“Why are you here? And why are you wearing a swimsuit?”

Ruko was waiting for him who was now only wearing a towel in the bathroom.

Ruko is wearing a red bikini which allows Kuro to see most of Ruko's skin.
Her beauty will make every man tempted.
Even including Kuro.

But this wasn't Ruko's first time doing this, so Kuro was already getting used to it.

Thankfully he was able to control the sword beneath him.

“Fufu fu…
of course to wash Onii-chan's back.
If you don't want it, I'll be naked straight away.”

That's a terrible threat.

“…Fine, but if something else happens, I'll tie you up right away.”

“After that raped me and make Ruko yours Kyaaaaa…!!”

“I'll tie you up and lock you in the shed”

“………after that raped me.”

“…………”

Ruko is really troublesome.

Kuro finally sighed and took a shower.

Kuro didn't expect Ruko to do anything, but something made Kuro worried.

It was because Ruko smiled to herself like she was planning something.

Kuro had better prepare mentally to get a third surprise from Ruko.

……and he got a shock.

When he returned to his room, he found a box wrapped in paper and a ribbon.

“Happy birthday, Onii-chan.”

“Eh?”

Ruko appeared beside Kuro and smiled sweetly.
She has also changed into the clothes she wore before, which is a one-piece dress.

“Could it be that Onii-chan forgot that today is your birthday?”

“Aaaah…”

He forgets.

Not only this year, Kuro always forgot his birthday.

There is nothing special like celebrating birthdays in the Kuro family.
They think of birthdays as just a reminder of their age is reduced by one year.

But thanks to Ruko, Kuro always gets a surprise every year.

“Fufu…
As expected Onii-chan forgot.
…but I never understand why Onii-chan always forgot.”

Kuro without a word walked to his wardrobe and got ready to put on his clothes.

“I don't know.
You know the tradition of celebrating birthdays doesn't exist in our family, but I'm glad you always remind me.
Ruko…
Thank you.”

Ruko's face turned red.

“O-Onii-chan…
you don't have to thank me.
It's my duty as your future wife…”

Now Ruko was squirming like a caterpillar.

“No.
I'll do it anyway.
One thing I want to ask…”

“Do Onii-chan want to ask if today is a safe day for me? Don't worry Onii-chan, I don't care about that sort of thing.
So, if Onii-chan attacks me, I'm willing at all times to satisfy your lust…”

Ruko said as if Kuro was a beast that would attack anyone.

If the neighbors heard what Ruko just said, Kuro's life might soon be ruined.

“…………….”

Kuro just sighed.

Without a word, Kuro who was only wearing a towel approached Ruko.

“Onii-chan…..?”

Ruko's face reddened even more.
Her heart was beating fast too.
Her legs were also shaking from a bit of fear.

“Onii-chan you finally…”

Kuro held both of Ruko's shoulders and glared at Ruko.

“Ruko….”

Ruko's face reddened even more.

“Yes…
Onii-chan?”

“When will you come out of my room?”

“Huh?”

Baaammm!!

Kuro threw Ruko out and immediately closed the door quite hard and didn't forget to lock it.

After feeling quite safe, Kuro quickly put on the clothes.

He sighed and asked himself.
Why is this happening?

He sat on his bed and sighed again.
How many times had he sighed today? He didn't know the number anymore.

That's when he glanced at the sizable gift box.

He smiled happily because Ruko was so considerate.

He slowly opened the gift box.
That's when he was surprised because Ruko's gift was so unexpected.

“It's?”

Ruko's prizes are VR gear and a game.

VR Gear is shaped like glasses.
From the outside, it can be seen that the VR gear is a high-tech object.

As for the Game, Kuro knew because he saw it often, game Celestial Soul Online with a human cover uses a sword and magic.

“He he…
Does Onii-chan like it?”

“Rather than like, I'm more surprised you bought such an expensive thing.
Where- Huh?!”

“…hm?”

Kuro jumped to the corner of his room in surprise.

“Ru-Ruko how did you get in.”

“Fufu…
don't underestimate the power of Ruko's love that can destroy any thick wall-“

A small object fell near Ruko.
It is a key.

“Ruko….”

“Aha…ha..”

“When did you double my room key?”

“…………..”

Ruko didn't answer and picked up the key so that Kuro wouldn't take it.

Not only that, Ruko put the key into her bra.

“………………..”

Kuro didn't react to anything.

If he tried to snatch the key, he would do what Ruko expected.
That's very bad.

Kuro took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Every day he could hold back Ruko's attacks, but today Ruko did more attacks than usual.

️how bothersome

“So…
how did you get the money to buy that expensive thing?”

“I work part-time and most of the money is from games.”

“………..OK.”

Games with cash prizes are now a common thing.
Games like that even become the work of professional gamers.

And Ruko is one of them.

Ruko spends 5 hours a day just playing VR games.
Kuro's parents did not forbid her because Ruko's grades never dropped, even better than Kuro's.

“Then why did you buy that useless gift?”

“Cruel…
Ruko has worked hard for 1 year to buy VR gear so she can play with Onii-chan, but Onii-chan calls it useless…
Uguuu….”

“……….”

It's really troublesome.

“Okay…
I get it.
I'll play whatever game it is…
but I don't know anything about that game.”

This is all Kuro can do to repay and appreciate Ruko's hard work.

“Huhu..
calm down.
I'm a veteran player in CSO.
I'll teach Onii-chan.”

Kuro nodded in understanding.

“Hmmm…
but doesn't that game require a high-end computer? I don't have one.
You know that right?”

“Onii-chan really doesn't know that game …don't worry, even though Onii-chan's computer is old and rusty, the game can still be played on Onii-chan's computer.”

What Ruko said was right, but Kuro still felt insulted.

Kuro's computer is a not very old computer, even though its specifications are one of the most complete and best, but that was one year ago.

Computers today are very different because of technological developments that are too fast to advance.

“Okay…
then how to play it?”

“Ahh…
leave everything to me.”

Smiling, Ruko picked up the CSO Disc and inserted it into Kuro's computer.

After the installation is complete, Ruko fiddles with the computer to do the initial steps.

When finished, Ruko plugged the VR connection cable into the computer.

“Done.
Onii-chan lie down on the bed and put on the VR.”

But Kuro did not immediately obey Ruko.

“Don't worry, I won't do anything to Onii-chan…”

Ruko showed a mischievous smile which made Kuro hard to believe it even more.

“If you do anything strange, I will leave this house.”

“Onii-chan won't do that.”

“We will see about that…”

With a feeling of trepidation, Kuro lay down and used VR which can only be used to play CSO.

Even though Kuro didn't know much about VR, he knew that while using VR, the body in the real world couldn't move.
That's what scared him.

“Onii-chan, after creating a character, wait for me in Early Town.”

“OK.”

He didn't really understand games, so he just complied.

“But what should I do?”

“Onii-chan just closes your eyes and says 'Transfer Start'.
Onii-chan will log in automatically.”

“……..”

Why not say “Link Start” like in a novel? Maybe it's just a variation in VR games.

Kuro obeyed Ruko.
He closed his eyes and said:

“Transfer Start.”

In Kuro's mind, he saw the light of various colors which were distorted like sucked by something.
After a while, his entire vision darkened.

Then above it appears the words, “Welcome in Celestial Soul Online” along with futuristic sound effects.

After the word disappears, various menus appear.

(Here I have to create a character in the game right?)

[Please Enter Your Name]

Not wanting to bother, Kuro typed his real name “Kuro”.

[Ages]

-15 years.

[Gender]

Is this a game or an introgation?

-Male.

[Mail Address]

-Kuro666@****.co.jp

The menu disappears and switches to the next step.

This time, a character who has a face like Kuro appears.
Under the character appears a menu to modify the appearance.

(I see.
I've heard the characters in CSO look like real faces, but-)

This is a bit too much.

Maybe this is meant to make the game look more real.

But how do they know Kuro's face? It's legal, right?

The question had come to Kuro, but as long as there are no problems, everything is fine.

…….probably

(Whatever…)

Kuro neglected to modify it and left it as it is.

After that, the final step appeared.

[Soul Points 10]

Below that menu, various menus with strange names appear.

Kuro was a little confused, but after thinking, he realized it was a menu for in-game magic and skills.

There are 6 magic elements to choose from.
As the name suggests, the menu is indicated by a symbol that represents each element.

Water, Fire, Wind, Earth, Light, and Darkness.

Kuro chose darkness.

His name means 'black'.
Why not choose based on that?

After that another menu appears again.
Kuro was a little frustrated with this.

>[Dark Absorption]

>[Dark Flame]

>[Acid Blade]

>[Vital Curse]

>[Raising]

5 skills appeared in front of Kuro.

(Do I have to choose one?)

Kuro chose [Vital Curse], but the menu hasn't disappeared.

(One more?)

The skill that Kuro chose next was [Dark Absorption], but the menu hasn't disappeared yet.

Kuro decided to choose [Acid Blade], [Dark Flame], and [Raising].

After that, the menu disappeared.

(Hmmm…
So like that ..)

He noticed the moment the number of [Soul Points] decreased to 5.

(But what about the rest?)

Kuro didn't really understand then decided to ignore it and pressed the [Done] menu.

After that, the words “Welcome new Liber” appeared along with a female voice like on a telephone operator.

The light immediately shines brightly which can make the eyes hurt.

Kuro reflexively covered his eyes with his hands and when he opened his eyes, he was surprised because all he saw was a city.

But not a city like the one in the real world.

The city buildings are dominated by European and medieval-style buildings.
Not only that, he saw quite several fantasy beasts.
From the size and appearance of the beasts, they probably weren't dangerous or low-level monsters.

Could it be that the monsters were like pets in the real world?

Kuro doesn't want to be dizzy.
He decided to survey his surroundings.

Many people were most likely players like him.
He saw the green line which was the HP bar of each player.

But what about the blue one?

After observing for a while, he realized that the blue HP bar was to distinguish between players and NPC (Non-Player Characters).

“?!”

Kuro was surprised when suddenly his hand was grabbed by someone.

He immediately turned his head and saw a beautiful girl with long straight white hair smiling gently.

“Onii-chan…”

“…Ruko?”

The girl nodded slowly.

“Don't call my real name here.
Call me Anna.”

Kuro finally realized Ruko's intentions after seeing the name that read 'Anna' near the HP bar.

“Sorry, but is that your appearance in CSO?”

Ruko wears white armor that protects most of her body.
But why is the chest slightly exposed?

Not only that, a silver sword was on his waist.
In CSO, Ruko is like a female knight.

“Fufu…
What do you think? I'm prettier right? Do I manage to make Onii-chan's heart flutter?”

She's still like usual even though it's in the game.

“Well…
a little.”

“YAY….”

Ruko was overjoyed even though Kuro was only joking.

Ruko game character is beautiful, but the game character is still a game character.

“By the way, what are we doing in this game?”

“Is Onii-chan getting excited?”

“Not really, but I promised to accompany you, so I have no other choice, do I?”

“……….”

Ruko's face (Anna) immediately turned red.

“But this is a game, if I don't know how to play, I can't accompany you.”

“I see.
Then, I'll tell you the basics of how to play in CSO.”

Anna pulled Kuro's hand.
Kuro couldn't escape or fight.

He realized that maybe this was due to the difference in player status.

Kuro had no other choice but to obey and be dragged away.
What he didn't understand was-

“Ru-Anna, why are all the players staring at us?”

“One of the Top Players dragging a novice player would of course be a cause for concern.”

“Hey!?”

“That's why, I hope Onii-chan raises the level soon.
I'm also famous in CSO, soon there might be a Liber who will PK Onii-chan.”

“I don't understand what you're talking about, but why do I have a bad feeling?”

“Fufu…”

Anna's smile was a sign that Kuro would get into trouble.

After a while, they came to a forest not far from the city.

“Onii-chan, first, swing your right hand forward like this.”

Kuro followed Anna's example.

A panel window appeared showing Kuro's status.

-Soul Level 13

-Soul Points 5

-2000 Ruk

“Soul level means Onii-chan's current level.
Soul Points to increase special abilities such as magic and sword skills.”

“Then 2000 ruks?”

“That's the starting money.
Onii-chan can use it to buy weapons or items in the shop.”

“Hmmm…
I see.
I heard that CSO is a VR game that only uses Magic Skills and Sword Skills.”

In other words, CSO is a game that combines the two.
Players can use magic while wielding a sword.

“That's true, but there are also those who specialize in using magic or only swords.
Besides, Onii-chan, do you know why CSO is dubbed the most real VR game in the world?”

“…?”

“Onii-chan…
come on.”

Kuro finally thought for a while and finally found a simple thing that he didn't realize.

“The character of this game is like my own body.”

Anna nodded.

“With something called the ST System, it's like we move the real body.
Besides……”

Anna suddenly held Kuro's hand.

“Can Onii-chan feel it?”

Kuro even felt his game character being touched by Anna's hand.
Not only that, he can even feel the softness and smoothness of the game character Ruko.

“Hey…
this isn't at the level of a game anymore…
it's like…”

“Our bodies move to another dimension.”

Kuro could even feel the ground they stepped on was like the real ground in the real world.

“Now I know how Kir*to felt when trapped in the Underworld.”

“Aha, haa…
by the way, Onii-chan, add me to your friend list.”

A window appears.

Kuro unhesitatingly pressed “Yes” and the name “Anna” appeared in a list.

But a window popped up again.

“What's more?”

“Never mind, just press Yes.”

“Ha…
Alright.”

Kuro pressed the 'Yes' button, but he didn't find any changes.

Until he finally realized it when he was kissed on the mouth by Anna.

“?!”

He was shocked and didn't know what was going on, but he found an inscription floating in front of him.

[The privacy barrier between two players has been removed]

He finally realized that—

-he has been framed.

To his surprise, he even felt the softness of Anna's lips.

(It's a game right?)

After a while, Anna let go of Kuro's lips, but she didn't let go of Kuro's body.

And even though Kuro wanted to break free, he couldn't do it considering the difference in strength between them.

“Fufufu…”

“So this is the reason you gifted the game?”

“Yeah.
And you know Onii-chan…
This time you can't run or avoid.
I'll do it until I'm satisfied…Fufuu..”

“Ruko…”

“Don't blame me.
Onii-chan forced me to do this.
If I can't do it in the real world, then I can just do it here, right?”

“?!”

Anna kissed Kuro again and again.
There was nothing Kuro could do but try not to lose control of himself.

After 30 minutes, Kuro was finally released from Anna's arms.

“Ahhh…
I'm really satisfied.”

A satisfied face can be seen in Ruko's character.

Meanwhile, Kuro could only sigh inwardly.

“I know we've kissed in real life, but this is too much.”

“Ahaha…
Sorry, Onii-chan.
I meant to do it only once, but since it's no different from the real world, I'm addicted…”

“……….”

“That's it.
Think of it as a bonus birthday present.”

“If you do it again, I will never play this game again in my life.”

“Fufu…Alright, now let's move on to the next lesson.”

Kuro sighed deeply.

He realized it was useless to be angry.
What happens let it happen.
That's the principle.
After all, this is just a game.

“Onii-chan, take your sword and try to defeat the monsters in this forest.”

“Sword?”

“That thing on your back.
Didn't Onii-chan notice it?”

“Huh?”

After trying to pick up something on his back, he realized there was indeed a sword.

Kuro tightly gripped the 60 cm long double-sided black sword that was practically light.

Kuro had been trained to use a sword since childhood, so he had no trouble wielding a sword.

“It's a starting sword.
A sword that shatters against mine with just one slash, but it's the new Liber's gear.”

“I see…
Oh yeah, why are we called Liber?”

“That's because to finish CSO, we have to defeat the Demon God.
A god but also a demon.”

“Hey…
why not Demon King like a normal game? Was the creator of this game out of his mind?”

“If you want to fight a Demon King, there is one in every world, so don't worry.”

Hearing that, Kuro realized something.

“Each world? How many words are there in this game?”

“There are seven.”

“Huh?”

“We are currently in the Human world.
The world of beginnings.
If we want to defeat the Demon God, we must defeat the 7 Demon Kings who are one in the whole world.”

“……….”

Kuro could only make an expression of disbelief.

“Even though it's been 1.5 years, Liber (Player) has only been able to open 3 worlds.
That's why CSO is also considered the most difficult game right now.
Well…
never mind, let's forget about that and focus on how to level up Onii-chan.
“

Kuro nodded in agreement.

“Oh yeah, what's Onii-chan's current level?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Each Liber's starting level is different from one another.
It's actually like a kind of power difference in the real world.”

Even though it was made as realistic as possible, it was too realistic to be included in the category of a game.

“What do CSO programmers think?”

“I don't know.
Who knows? Even though it was protested at first, it turned out to be something unique.
Even if you use a different account, players will get the same level thanks to the ST system.”

“Hmm…
ST System seems to be an item from a magic pouch, right?”

“Ahaha…
so how many starting levels did Onii-chan get?”

“How about you?”

He wanted to know if the initial level he got was normal or not.
Top players like Ruko get a high starting level.

“I got to level 3.
It's a common thing.”

“Has anyone ever gotten to level 10?”

“Huh? Onii-chan kidding? Nobody gets that high entry level.
I heard the highest starting level right now is only 7.
um…
Onii-chan, what's wrong?”

“Ah…no.
It's nothing.”

If the highest starting level was 7, why did he get 13?

Is it an In-game glitch?

“How many starting levels did Onii-chan get? Could it be more than 7? If it's Onii-chan, I bet you get more than 3.”

“I got to level 2.
Lower than you.”

The reason Kuro lied was that his starting level was considered abnormal.
Before knowing the reason, he didn't want to tell Anna.

Anna looks disappointed.
It seemed she was expecting too much.

“It's okay, if it's Onii-chan, I don't think it's a problem since Onii-chan can do kenjutsu.”

“What do you mean?”

“Onii-chan will find out soon enough.
fufu…”

Anna suddenly walked towards a deeper forest.

Kuro followed her from behind.

After arriving at a fairly deep part, from behind the trees appeared 4 red wolves.

-[Bloody Wolf] level 3.

Kuro knew from the red HP bar that appeared above them.

From Kuro's perspective, they were like real wolves.

“They're just flies.
Onii-chan, I'll show you how to fight in CSO.
Fu fu…..
“

Anna pulled the sword from its scabbard.

A one-meter-long double-sided sword reflected silvery light.
The sword was decorated with some kind of strange lettering.

“Cocytus, that's this girl's name.”

“Hello, Cocy.”

“I was just kidding Onii-chan.”

“Whatever…”

Kuro's indifferent habit sometimes irritated Anna.

Anna took an attacking stance.
The enemy is at a distance of 10 meters.

Anna smiled a little.

And in an instant, she disappeared and appeared behind the [Bloody Wolf].

Slash marks appeared on the Bloody Wolf's body along with the HP bar becoming empty.
The Bloody Wolf died and disappeared into particles.

But there is something that makes Kuro interested, it's a special effect in the form of blood that appears when the Bloody Wolf is slashed.

(They didn't play around in making this game.)

He praised the CSO makers, but wouldn't this have an impact on the player's psychology?

Anna came back closer and smiled.

Clap clap.

Kuro clapped his hands, but his face showed no sign of being impressed.

“Why doesn't Onii-chan look happy?”

“You're the Top Player and they're flies.
It's not strange if you manage to do that move.”

“Tch…”

Although annoyed, she realized what Kuro said was true.

“The one I showed you earlier was one of the sword skills [The Bullet].
With that skill, I can move at high speed and slash the enemy before moving.
How cool is that?”

“………….”

Kuro didn't show any reaction.

“Hmmm…”

With an annoyed face, Anna returned to the forest to hunt for the next monster.

“To level up, we have to make full EXP, but the higher the level, the more points are required.”

“……EXP can be earned by defeating monsters or something?”

“Yup.
We will get more points if we successfully complete missions from NPCs.
Not only that, but we can also earn money.”

“Hey look…!!

Anna looked ahead and saw a plant monster.
At first glance, it looks like a sunflower but has a mouth that can swallow a human body.

[Sun Eater] level 3.
More than 30 monsters

“Flies again, but that's not a problem considering the level of this place.
Maa…
I'll show you how to use magic.
Onii-chan, pay attention to me, okay?”

“……..o-okay.”

Anna put her hand towards [Sun Eater].

A magic circle appeared under Anna's feet.
Dozen of ice appeared around Anna.

“[Ice Rain]”

The ice slid toward the monsters like bullets and killed some of the monsters.

On the ground appeared an object that was a drop monster.

“The item will appear after defeating a monster.”

“I know that.
You're lucky if you get a rare item, right?”

“I'm really impressed Onii-chan found out.”

“Thank You.”

“That's not a compliment.”

“Oh yeah, what's the thing that the monsters let out and aimed at us?”

“That was their attack.”

“Hmmmm……
isn't that bad?”

“Don't worry…
[Water Shield]”

A water shield appears protecting Anna and Kuro from monster attacks.

(Ruko's magic is water apparently.)

He knew or only realized it after Anna (Ruko) cast water elemental magic many times.

“Onii-chan, take a look at this! [Water Bullet]”

One water bullet shot toward the monster right at the center of the flower head.
In one hit, the HP bar instantly becomes empty and the monster disappears into particles.

“The attack earlier wasn't lethal, but in CSO, every monster has a weak point called [Vital Soul].
By attacking that part, the impact of the attack will be multiplied.”

“You mean the same as the heart or the brain?”

“Yup.
That kind of attack will quickly kill the monsters, but we'll get fewer experience points.
And if the experience points are few,–“

“We will find it difficult to level up.”

Anna nodded.

Kuro concluded that Vital Soul was actually the same as when the two martial arts experts fought each other to gain experience.
But martial arts experts will not gain experience if they fight with a gun and shoot from a distance.

“Oh yeah, how do we use Sword Skills or magic? Should we pronounce his name as you did?”

Kuro asked because he hadn't used both abilities yet.

“Ahahah not really.
I said it to be cool like n*n*tsu taiz*i.”

“Hey…”

“Onii-chan just think about the sword skill or magic that Onii-chan will use.
The system will then automatically perform the sword skill or magic.
Um…? Onii-chan, wait a minute.”

Anna pressed a window that only she could see.

It was a kind of communication between players.

After a while, Anna showed a complicated face.

“Okay, I'll be right there.”

Anna sighed heavily.

“Is there any problem?”

“No, it's just that I have to go.
I forgot that today I will be defeating a Monster Boss in one of the dungeons with my Guild members.”

Anna is one of the Top Players.
She is also a member of one of the famous Guilds in CSO, Ouroboros.

Doing high and dangerous quests is her job at CSO.

“Then go.
I'll be fine.”

“I see.
If Onii-chan has logged out, I will know from the friend list, but I hope Onii-chan will level up soon and venture into the third world.”

“One thing I want to ask.”

“What?”

“How to raise the skill level?”

“If you use it often or practice it, the skill level will automatically increase, but you can also raise the skill level using Soul Points.
In addition, if you want to get a new skill, Onii-chan must level up first.
Anything else?”

“What if I want to go to the next town?”

“Onii-chan can use the teleportation gate, but Onii-chan must pass through the gate first.
That's where Onii-chan will be confronted by the Monster boss.”

“Boss monsters are like gatekeepers.”

“It's like that, Onii-chan.
There is an easy way to get past the Monster boss, which is with a Party of 6 Liber.”

“Ok.
I understand.
You can now go to your friend.”

“Then I'll go first, Onii-chan.
See you in the real world.”

Anna left, and just before she disappeared, Kuro remembered something there was something he forgot.

“Ruko, don't do weird things to my real body.”

Anna turned and waved her hand with a smile.

“Don't worry Onii-chan.”

Kuro was immediately grateful.

“I did it before logging in.”

“………………………”

He was off guard.

He finally understood why it took Anna so long to pick him up at the starting town.

Wrinkles appeared on Kuro's forehead as a sign that he was upset.

He glanced at the many monsters that hadn't died yet.

He was finally able to find a target for venting his anger.

“Okay, let's see what's interesting about this game.”

Kuro drew his sword downwards.
At the same time, he used the [Acid Blade] skill.

Kuro's sword was instantly filled with black flames and emitted smoke like deadly acid.

An oncoming attack from 4 monsters at once was a kind of sunseed bullet.

Just as it was about to hit his body, Kuro slashed out dozens of sunseeds in the blink of an eye.

(As expected.
I can use Kamikiri-Ryu in this game.)

Kamikiri Ryu is a sword technique that he learned in the real world and is a sword technique passed down from generation to generation in the Kuro family.

Kicking the ground, he shot toward the 5-meter plant monster.

“Kamikiri-Ryu, [Star Breaker]”

Using a sword shrouded in poisonous acid, he crushed the monsters in one hit.

At the same time, in the starting city, there was an explosion sound coming from the forest.

In CSO high-level magic and sword skills would be like a bomb that had great destructive power.
This allows players to know if other players use high-level Magic and Sword Skills.

At that time, all the Libers (players) in the starting city thought the same.

Who was the stupid player who used high-level magic in a forest filled with only low-level monsters?

2 hours later, Anna (Ruko) managed to defeat the boss monster and managed to enter the next city in the third world, Alfheim.

After passing through the gate, he got a call from Kuro.

“Onii-chan?”

Did he get into trouble?

Anna was worried and received Kuro's call.

“(Ahhh…
Finally connected too.
I've been trying since an hour ago, but it never worked.)”

“What's wrong Onii-chan, did something happen? Is there a Player who's after Onii-chan? Say the name of a player who dares to mess with Onii-chan! We Ouroboros will destroy them straight away.”

Anna's guildmates approached because they realized Anna was panicking and worried.

Ouroboros is known as a loyal guild, so if one of the members is having a hard time, then all members will be ready to fight.

“(No.
I'm fine, it's just that I have something to ask you.)”

“Say it quickly!”

“(Where can I get a new sword? My sword was broken an hour ago while fighting a monster.)”

“…………………….huh? Broken?”

“(Yes.)”

“Onii-chan don't joking.
You've only been playing CSO for an hour and you've already broken your sword?”

“(Eh? Is there something wrong with that? Don't every Liber do the same thing?)”

“………………..”

“(Anna?)”

“…………….”
