According to my mory, Soul World is definitely not a hope filled ga. It is filled with as much discomfort as possible, and even the ending is either bad or sad if the conditions are not t.
First of all, if you let your guard down, the characters can die at any mont. Its not an exaggeration, they can die in the blink of an eye.
One particularly intense mory is when the protagonist entered the forest with a companion to find herbs. The character was quite pretty, so I rember that even more.
Among the choices, there are options to stick together or separate. Most newcors choose the latter because they dont know any better. They thought they could save themselves even if its dangerous. And that turns out to be the worst choice.
If I had been even slightly late, Ellie would have been killed by Manki. It would be truly shocking to see soone transform into a lump right in front of my eyes.
Anyway, if you choose to stick together, you can survive, and its quite helpful. Its a ga where the abilities of other characters, not just protagonists, also improve.
Up until this point, its alright, but the damn battles are the problem. Control is much more important than stats.
What should we do? Does that an we wont be able to understand each other?
Well, I dont know about that.
Ellie, who was destined to die by Manki, and Luna, the woman who introduced herself as Luna Estel, had a conversation with each other.
Both of them had different outfits, but they both carried small bags. It seed like they were probably going to dig herbs.
Among them, I glanced at a woman nad Luna. Her appearance was very familiar.
Light yellow hair and sky-blue eyes. Its her right?
Soul World doesnt have appearance customization. Therefore, you have to choose between male and female. Fortunately, the modeling was done well, without that, it wouldnt have received good reviews from the fans.
So, the woman introduced as Luna right now is the protagonist of this world. mories that were about to disappear begin to resurface vividly.
Is her occupation a knight?
Judging by her appearance, it seed like the most basic occupation, a knight. Its almost certain when I saw her holding a normal-length sword.
Regardless of which skill tree a knight chooses, one efficiency is good. Thats why most beginners choose to be knights.
According to the setting, she received swordsmanship training from a wanderer. This is an official setting, so its the sa even if she chooses a different occupation.
First of all, regardless of which occupation she chooses, the basic weapon is a sword. By the way, you can et that wanderer later. They are a slightly eccentric character that surprises players. The story is also quite good.
Its going to be tough.
As soone who vaguely knows the future, I can only feel pity. Losing a valuable comrade or being betrayed by that comrade could co with a split second monts choice.
However, her future or destiny was not as important as the fact that I had encountered soone. I wanted to go outside first.
Although I have beco accustod to the forest, I never forgot my longing for civilization. I also need to find a way to return to the original world.
First, I need to find the person who sent here. I have already thought of so plausible suspects.
What if we start by finding out where that person is living? There might be other survivors, you know.
Ellie said in a calm voice. Its hard to believe that soone who almost died just monts ago could be so composed.
Co to think of it, shes not bad either.
I struggled to grasp fading mories. There were so many unique characters that it was difficult to rember the details, but I knew Ellie.
She had shoulder-length reddish-brown hair neatly cut, with bangs. Round eyes and golden irises.
Although she was smaller than Luna, her chest stood out prominently. They stood side by side, making a clear comparison.
Among the characters in Soul World, most of them are well-modeled, but Ellie stood out.
I rember her being praised for having an amazing potion bag.
Shes full of energy. Im glad.
If you save Ellie, you dont have to worry about potions from the mid to late ga. As far as I rember, shes skilled in alchemy. So, if you save her early on, the story becos much easier.
However, until then, youll have to increase her abilities through various quests. Its convenient to think of her as a character who pays for her share. The problem is that shes like a trouble magnet and will face nurous crises even after that.
Saving Ellie eliminates the worry about potions, so it can be seen as a kind of balance patch. Of course, she may be treated as a burden by players.
Speak sensibly. You just witnessed how dangerous this place is. We need to leave right now.
Are you going to leave that person behind?
Thats
Luna hesitated for a mont at Ellies sharp remark. I just stood there, still and useless, watching them. I wish I could make them understand what Im saying. But all I can do is stumble over my words.
Above all, I missed the timing. They probably already think of as little more than just a savage. Honestly, its a situation that could help , so I kept my mouth shut.
So lets start by finding out where that person lives. Is that okay?
But what if that man poses a threat to us? You saw earlier how easily he blocked Mankis attack. I cant handle it either.
Well, if that were the case, he would have killed us a long ti ago. Maybe he instinctively realizes that were from the sa kin?
Elli lightly tapped Lunas shoulder and spoke. I rembered her characteristic optimistic personality. Luna, with a subtle expression, looked at as if convinced by Ellis words. I simply kept my mouth shut.
So, how are we supposed to get to where that person lives? We cant even communicate with them.
Ill guide you from now on.
I said, turning my back. As I turned my back, I could sense their bewildered reactions.
Isnt it better to follow him?
For now, at least. Is the special compass working properly?
Its functioning perfectly.
So they have a special compass. That ans we can find our way out of this wretched forest. Oh, but before that, I have to bring along Mankis corpse. I dragged Mankis body, whose head, and even brain, had exploded.
Seeing effortlessly dragging a giant gorilla of over 5 ters, the two of them were taken aback. Well, its natural to be surprised when soone drags around such a burden. With the protagonists strength, she wouldnt even be able to attempt it.
Youre a survivor, right?
He might be soone born here. They said no one has gone missing in this forest since the last disappearance 20 years ago. So that person must have been living here for 20 years?
Well know once we see his face Just by appearance, he seems to be at least in his 40s.
No, even if Ive lived here for several years, Im definitely not in my forties. Do you think I cant understand what youre saying, so you just blabber on your own?
It seems like the problem was with this damn hair and beard. Just growing a beard made look older, but I even let it grow down to my chest.
Plus, my bangs are excessively long, covering my face. The front looks fine, but other people wont be able to see my face.
Still, its a waste to shave.
I dont care about the hair, but I grew out my beard for a change. Even though I could groom it with magic, I just left it alone. Maybe thats when I gave up on leaving the forest. Who would see anyway?
Anyway, while two people were stabbing in the heart, I didnt stop my footsteps. It was amusing to see them flinch every ti I looked back.
Why do you keep looking at us?
Maybe its because theyve never seen anyone other than us?
Think whatever you want. I wont answer what youre saying at all. Whether they bowed or spoke politely, I dragged the corpse of a mongoose and headed towards my hiding place.
Of course, so incidents occurred along the way.
Thunk-
Huh? Ah, damn it
Why, Luna?
While Luna was doing well, she abruptly stopped in her tracks and started cursing vehently. When they stopped, I also stopped alongside them. Luna was grimacing as she looked at a brown lump on the sole of her shoe. Her expression was filled with disgust.
I stepped on poop.
What?
I said I stepped on poop. Its already a place where there are many animals, so we should be careful.
Luna stepped on poop. She muttered various curses, wearing an irritated expression. Her language was rougher than expected.
By the way, I think that poop is mine. Its a marking of my territory, as its near my hiding spot.
Naturally, animals have a keen sense of sll, so I need to leave such traces. To be honest, I even made a bathroom for myself because I wanted to.
Since there are only young animals around, I have no choice but to use animal thods.
I have to carry this until I die.
Anyway, I cant even speak properly, so theres no risk of getting caught.
Luna roughly removed the poop stuck to the sole of her shoe with the nearby twigs. However, her expression remained unchanged.
If she keeps this up, her pretty face will be ruined. Well, even if I stepped on poop, it would be unfortunate, I suppose.
Is her luck score low?
I had such foolish thoughts. When the luck stat is low, all sorts of things happen for real. There are frequent cases where things just dont match up. Like a situation where you can kill soone with just one more blow, but you cant land that one blow.
I thought maybe luck applies to the pattern of monsters, but its really hard to accurately grasp luck itself. It also has a significant impact on item drop rates. Even with that, there are just people who have no luck at all.
Wow Does soone live here? Oh, wait. Isnt that a bear?
Yeah Looking at the size of the hide, it seems to be a giant bear.
As we walked, we arrived at a hiding place.
Upon arriving at the hiding place, Luna and Ellie gasped at the dismantled bear hide.
It was still lying on the ground before being completely tanned, so it must have had quite an imposing presence.
I roughly tossed Mankis corpse aside and looked at them. I had no ti to spare as I looked around the hiding place.
Lets eat so at.
Coincidentally, there was so smoked bear at. I put the tender and smoky at into my mouth.
It was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. There was no unpleasant sll of at, and the juiciness was just right.
It was the result of using a special plant as fuel for smoking. It seed like I would soon finish eating it all.
I wonder if they would settle down if I gave them food?
Anyway, since they cant speak, I have no choice but to express my favor with my actions. I glanced at them, who were restless while looking around for a hiding place.
anwhile, Luna was nowhere to be found, only Ellie remained. Judging by her gestures, it seems Luna went into the cave.
Swoosh-
Hmm?
While Ellie was curiously staring at the bears skin, I quietly offered her so at.
As I handed her the at without saying a word, Ellies golden eyes widened. They were round and quite beautiful up close.
In the anti, she alternated between looking at the at I offered and at , then opened her mouth with a puzzled voice.
Do you want to eat it?
She pointed at herself with her finger, asking. I nodded my head.
Upon understanding my response, Ellie blinked her eyes and murmured softly.
Hmm so you do understand to so extent. Maybe I can communicate through gestures?
Well, in any case, Ill eat it well. It looks delicious.
After making her own assumption, she took the at as it was and held it, not with her bare hands but skewered on a branch.
It seed like my hands were too dirty, so it was a bit difficult to give it to her with bare hands.
Ive been washing them regularly because theres a stream nearby, but they got dirty again due to the dismantling I just did.
Wasnt she also from the countryside like the protagonist?
While the protagonist sowhat fit the image of a village girl, Ellie was known as the epito of the countryside. Moreover, it was established that she personally collected herbs, and it seed like she had a strong stomach for such things. Its a relief that the at wasnt too repulsive.
Wow, its delicious! Was bear at always this tasty?
Ellie exclaid after putting a piece of bear at in her mouth. Her round golden eyes twinkled with cuteness. Wild animals naturally have a distinctive gay sll. I once ate it without thinking and almost got sick.
To eliminate that, herbal dicine was needed. I made it by using various herbs in the surroundings to get rid of the sll. Thanks to that, instead of the gay sll, the unique aroma of the herbs fills the air, guaranteeing a good taste.
Why do I eat organs raw, you ask? Well, even if you cook them, they taste the sa, so its pointless. Organs are ant to satisfy hunger and provide calories, while at is for ergency rations and for satisfying ones appetite.
By the way, it seems like he considers us as his own kind. He even shared his food.
Shibal (what are you saying).
Are you considering a clueless savage? I was taken aback, and an imdiate response ca out of .
Of course, its not like Ellie would understand. I dont know when this damn language barrier can be fixed.
But where did Luna go earlier?
She went to the cave. It doesnt matter anyway since theres nothing special about being in the cave.
Poorly drawn murals helped rember the story of the ga and the ti I lived here.
The heads of the prey I hunted were even displayed as decorations. And also the weapons I made as backups.
I should see whats going on.
I changed my footsteps towards my hiding place where Luna entered. What is she doing that shes coming out so late?
Ellie, who was pondering over the bear at, hurriedly followed my actions.
Lets go, Sivar!
Pause-
I abruptly stopped my footsteps at that sound. What did that woman just say?
As soon as I heard Ellie calling , I turned my gaze to her. She seed surprised by my gaze.
She wouldnt be referring to as Sivar, would she? She pointed at with her index finger and opened her mouth.
Shibal ()?
Lost in the warmth of a smile as radiant as sunlight, my gaze was montarily stolen. But as I listened to the following words, a feeling of surprise flew far away.
Yeah! Since you keep saying it, lets use a nickna. How about it? Is it okay?
Call whatever you want. Now, I cant even rember my own na.
With a disappointed heart, I took another step forward.
Do you understand what Im saying, or cant you?
I guess you dont know. Is there a special aning behind it? Shibar!
Shibal.
As I thought!
What does as I thought an? She cursed. This girl, she cursed.
