I entered the kingdom to do the last of the summons for the rchant. Even though he told
to find him in his house, the mont I appeared inside the kingdom, I saw him in the wall.
He waved his hand and disappeared. I thought he had used his Gift to go inside the house but...
[Invasion! The Traveling rchant Arrives
Ending Achieved: The rchant Has Been Repelled
The rewards for achieving this ending are:
100x Your current amount of Daily Gacha Tickets
10x Your current amount of Kingdom Points
2 Rare Gacha Tickets
Three Skills have been unlocked in the Available Skills nu, their price has been fixed to 0. Please note that when one of them is selected, the others will disappear until they manifest again as a reward.]
[As a special reward, you now can choose between three different events.]
[Due to successfully completing the event, you can choose to either add or subtract two days from the event tirs permanently.]
Seems like the rchant is gone then...
I can't believe the idiot didn't even say goodbye.
As for the event rewards, they sound incredible, especially having my current Daily Gacha Tickets amount multiplied by 100. It would've been amazing if I had any Gacha Tickets in reserve.
I swear that my Gift does this on purpose, there's simply no way.
I can't even bla the rchant since I would've spent them all on his last summon before he left anyway.
Well, it wasn't all for nothing though since I now have 4690 Kingdom Points stored thanks to the event reward.
As for those Rare Gacha Tickets... there's no ntion of them anywhere in my Gift, but it's pretty easy to assu what they do.
At the very least, it probably increases the chances of getting an item of better quality/rarity. It might even be the case that certain things can only be acquired with this ticket.
The rchant said that the weapons I brought out of the gacha couldn't hurt Gods, so perhaps if I were to use this ticket, I might get sothing capable of doing that.
A companion would also be an interesting choice, but... if Claire ca out from a normal ticket, I'm a little unsure of what would co out from a rare one.
The third obvious option would be a skill... but since there's no pressing matter, I'll just keep them for now, depending on the circumstances of the next event, they might co in handy.
Also, I finally had a use for the [Available Skills] nu, so I didn't waste any ti and checked what was new there.
[Knight King
As a king who demonstrates power and conviction, this skill will provide the user with inherently fighting abilities, increasing the effectiveness of every point spent on physical attributes. However, the laws of chivalry are a chain that will decrease your power when your actions are unbefitting of a knight.
This is a passive skill that cannot be turned off.]
Overall it's a pretty good option, most of the ti it will work as a straight-up buff. The debuff aspect might be a problem though...
I also must think about the next event. Since I've added two days to the tir, it will happen eight days from now, aning I probably won't be able to achieve the sa level as Mia.
Depending on how effective this skill is, it might make
stand toe-to-toe with her, but if an opponent appears that even she cannot defeat, then that would just make
an extra obstacle.
For now, I'll consider it...
[Reputable Ruler
Your reputation supersedes any disbelief others have against you. This skill alone proves your rit, and by having it, your words will be more trusted, negotiations won't break down as easily, and your chances of convincing others will drastically improve.
This is a passive skill that cannot be turned off.]
No downside is already an upside...
Thinking about it logically, the girls are my biggest strength, and this skill would give
an easier ti when summoning companions...
It might also be a way out of a fight against a stronger foe if I cannot defeat them.
[Web Weaver
No words should be trusted. It's your pride to walk alone, weaving lies and intermingling truths as you go. This skill increases the chances of your lies being believed. Fate will work harder to increase the chances of any malicious sches against others. Though beware, evil attracts evil, and the possessor of this skill will surely find himself surrounded by untrustworthy minds.
This is a passive skill that cannot be turned off.]
... Yeah, no thanks.
I have no doubts it is a useful skill, thinking about its upsides, it is probably even better than the [Reputable Ruler] at getting
out of a dicey situation.
The problem is everything else.
I don't mind scheming, and I certainly do think they have their place on a battlefield. For one, I'd say I lean more toward the fight smart instead of hard, though I lack the smart part so I only really fight.
The thing is "malicious sches" is a bit of a vague term.
Like most people, I don't see myself as a bad person at all. And while I'm aware enough to not claim myself as being a good person either, just kind of normal/middle of the road, by definition these malicious sches might not work well with .
I rarely have any malicious intent toward soone, I'd say my most evil thought right now is avenging Mia's tribe.
And when it cos to evilness, that's kind of... alright? Revenge itself is sothing debatable when it cos to morality, but due to what they did, I couldn't really give less of a fuck.
Now, is that malicious? Or is it simply being indifferent and emotional?
Well, even if I were to ignore that part, attracting evil people is not sothing I'm really looking forward to. Even more so if they are more of a scher than I am capable of being.
This just spells trouble...
As such, my options are basically a path of power and conquest, a path of... diplomacy and negotiations... or the path I won't even consider...
Well, since there's no ti limit for
to choose, I'll just save them for the next event, depending on how things progress, if it feels like a fight is imminent, I'll grab the [Knight King], but if I can resolve things another way, I'll go with [Reputable Ruler].
It's kind of the sa policy I'm using for the Rare Gacha Tickets, but I don't really feel bad about it, if anything, I'm actually happy that I can prepare myself so well...
Speaking of which, I better take a look at the available events since I have one more option now...
[Invitation! The Infinite Hotel Awaits
A place that contains everything, from the beginning, until the end, if it exists, it must be in a room of the Infinite Hotel.
The answers to any mysteries can be found here, and the architecture is pretty good.
While there's an incalculable number of residents in this hotel, the number of visitors it gets can be counted on one human hand.
Even then, most people would give their lives for a single chance to set foot in this place, as it represents endlessness better than anything else!
Ti Limit: Unknown
Restrictions: None]
Hmm... strange. Sohow, it felt like two people with different perspectives wrote this description...
Looking at the difficulty bar... it's on the green edge. It's the first ti an event seems so easy.
But this is suspicious.
First of all, what am I supposed to do there?
I don't see any conflict, so... am I supposed to book a room and wait?
Should I help clean the place? Would that count as an ending?
And thus I arrive at my biggest problem with it.
The Snow White Wolves event handed
rewards and an ending even though I failed at what I set out to do.
This ans that the events are sowhat lenient... the only thing I can think that might lead to
failing an event would be... my own death, probably.
In this case, the difficulty slider could be seen as an indicator that simply shows how probable it is that I'll die.
For this hotel, it ans I can probably assu that it would be hard for
to die.
This is not as good of an indicator... because by entering the place, I might lose access to Earth again, and if there's a trap there, and I happen to fall for it... I might never be able to get away.
In this case, while I wouldn't die... I might end up with a worse fate.
No ti limit, no restrictions, sothing to do with infinity, and an easy difficulty? Yeah, there's sothing wrong there for sure.
[Crusade! The infidels of Myahi and the Lunar Beast
The tribes in the west of the Lamiria continent have united and have been worshipping the Lunar Beast, a creature whose very existence is an affront to the Gods.
Though they are blessed by its power, with the combined strength of the South Coalition, their hundred-year history of sacrilege will co to an end.
Ti Limit: 60 Years.
Since the ti expected for event completion is over half of the user's expected lifespan, a ti dilation will be applied. The user might decide to quit this event at any ti, but if no ending is achieved, no reward will be provided.
Restrictions: All gacha banners are restricted except for...]
Well, there's quite a list of banners that are still available...
The ti limit is a bit of a concern but my interference might end the whole thing early like what happened in the Snow White Wolves Tribe...
And though this Lunar Beast sounds nacing and whatnot, things might not be so clear-cut.
Even more so considering that a similar thing could be said about the rchant, and he wasn't really bad or anything.
Hell, by that standard, I could be seen as a heretic since I think the guy who literally kills Gods is not that bad.
If I go for this one I'll have to investigate this thoroughly before coming to a decision...
Well... last but not least...
[Invasion! The Demon Queen Falls Down
The Demon Queen, once one of the most powerful beings in existence, is now but a shell of her forr self.
Drifting away, as her soul continues to fall, she finds herself in an unknown place with no connections to the world she once knew.
Defeated after the war, she now has a chance to start again, but what will happen when she faces another monarch?
Ti Limit: Unknown
Restrictions: All banners except for [Companions Banner], [Skills Banner], [Weapons Banner], [Drinks Banner], [Armor Banner], [Spirits Banner] and [Ships Banner].]
...The difficulty for this one is around the middle, way better than the previous one which was in the red area.
Another Invasion... since the description only talks about the demon queen herself, I don't think the rest of her army or her kingdom will co.
If that were the case, the difficulty would definitely be way higher.
An invasion event is a bit bad since I risk losing the kingdom, but since it's only one girl who is apparently a shell of her forr self, we might stand a chance if it cos down to a fight.
The way the description was written also makes
feel like there's an alternative here that doesn't include a fight, which would be preferable.
Given what happened with the rchant, I'm leaning toward this event a bit.
Even more so considering Erika and her sister, who albeit demons, were pretty chill and nice.
Well, I'll disclose all of this with the girls later and we can co up with a plan going forward.
Before doing that though, the rchant said that I should et him in his house, which is impossible now that he's gone, but I doubt he would say that without aning anything by it, so I decided to check that just in case.
I was expecting so sort of paynt or a gift for the good tis but I just found a note above the table.
It was... a collection of tips for the future.
Amongst them, a few seed really important:
"#1: The First Cycle fell all on its own. No one should be blad for the loss of that paradise.
....
#3: Divinity and Demonic Power exist in opposition to one another, if you possess Divinity, any amount of Demonic Power you acquire will subtract from that Divinity. During this Cycle, a demon has developed a technique that allows one to maintain both, if you decide to join the Caravan, I'll teach it to you.
#4: If you have to choose between Divinity or Demonic Power, I would strongly recomnd the latter.
#5: REFUSE TO ASCEND NO MATTER WHAT. You'll only beco a puppet. Try not to gather too much divinity, especially if it's gifted by a God. If anything happens, throw it all my way and tell the Gods that you lost it sowhere.
....
#10: Be it as an ally or as a friend, you're welco to join us anyti."
He also thanked
for the hospitality and said he had a good ti, all the while excusing his rudeness due to being "bad with goodbyes"...
I swear, this guy...
Even though he ssed with us at every opportunity he had, now that he's gone, the kingdom feels a bit more empty.
But it's fine, he's surely capable of coming and going as he pleases, I even bet if I leave a few snacks at his ho they will mysteriously disappear during the night.
Anyway, now that the event is over I kind of wanna celebrate... we also defeated the fifth-floor boss so the timing couldn't be better for a little break.
