In the end, it took Damian what he estimated to be six minutes before he was finally able to clear the path to the heart.
As much freedom as this reality patch gave him, the more intricate and troubleso details that couldnt be conveyed through the limited dium of a pixel RPG ga were starting to show.
When controlling a character from behind the screen, Damian just had to click one button to activate their Special Energy, there was also a bar that indicated how long he could use it.
However, when he personally handled Iris body, Damian still had to ask her for the activation thod even if the body itself rembered it. In addition, he got to feel the shortcomings of a chosen one firsthand.
{Im sorry Its all because my body is too useless. Everyone else at the main house has already reached the Interdiate Tiers, but Im not even a Tier-1 Knight yet.}
Iris herself looked like she was on the brink of crying. After almost losing her mind earlier, she had no self-esteem left. Even the person that ca to help her was struggling due to her uselessness!
Although she could still utilize Aura as an unofficial knight, Iris could only bring it out for a few seconds before having to rest for a minute.
To make matters worse, just after montarily using it through the last 6 minutes, Damian could already feel that Aura was almost fully depleted from his heart.
Its alright. Im here to help, rember?
Considering that he still needed her sane, Damian tried to comfort the poor Iris.
She wouldnt have needed Plot Armor if she was already capable.
As frustrating as it was to start from the bottom, it all made absolute sense. Even in the ga, there wasnt a single character that started with extre power After all, there would be nothing to do if that was the case.
To begin with, one of the things that attracted Damian to Fates Guide was the constant weak-to-strong ladder.
His current situation might be more terrifying than enjoyable, but Damian wanted to do sothing right for once now that he got the chance
Splat.
Its a dud, huh?
Unfortunately, his hard work didnt pay out in the end. Not every monster had a special type of resource in their heart, and this Goblin sure didnt.
After receiving one more disappointnt, Damian knelt in front of the puddle to wash his face from the green blood. Inspect Elent didnt reveal anything about possible infections, but better safe than sorry.
Of course, Damian tried his best not to pollute his only source of water. While it would revert back anyway once he died, he didnt want to ss it up if things turned for the better on this run.
Feeling a bit parched, Damian directly took a sip before standing out and stretching out his body. It was finally ti to go.
Phew. What do you say, Iris, shall we go exploring?
Naturally, Damian had no intention to Save before heading out. Not only had he wasted so much ti for nothing, but his only advantageous ability was out of gas.
In any case, the first exploration run was usually known to be a sacrificial one.
{Y-Yes?}
If she was the one to choose, Iris was sure that she would have stayed in this space for as long as she could, even if she knew she would co back to life. Rather, that made it even worse for her.
However, when she saw Damians confidence shining through her face, Iris felt motivated all of a sudden. Perhaps she wasnt destined to remain as a nobody for what little was left of her life.
{Lets go.}
Well said, off we go!
Once Damian stepped into the darkness of the tunnel that led out of the cave, he felt a deep chill in his heart. Nonetheless, he couldnt identify his fear among the excitent that flooded right in.
An unknown adventure.
This was exactly the reason Damian couldnt stop playing Fates Guide, the backstories might be very basic or even at the level of a copy-pasted sob story. However, Damian never really cared about that.
What truly mattered was the journey propelled by that rough start. The magical lands and the mysterious opportunities that have to be discovered so that the character can achieve their long-awaited reversal!
Looks like I need to morize everything through touch.
While the starting cave had so light seeping off through so cracks in the ceiling, the tunnel was completely pitch black, and since this character didnt start with a Night Vision passive, Damian could only depend on feel to move along
There it is.
A light source finally appeared in the distance not too long after Damian departed, but he wasnt so excited about it.
Sothing has lit a fire.
The illuminated areas orange shade betrayed the nature of the source; so creature or a group of them had likely made so sort of bonfire within the area behind that opening.
Scouting Or should I just go for it?
In this situation, Damian usually had two basic options.
The first would be, running into the place, collecting as much information as possible even at the risk of death.
The other one was strategizing with the intention of battle based on nothing but referencing the layout of the area and prior experience
Considering that the first was his favorite, Damian would have directly gone with it without giving it much thought. However, each new life wasnt that cheap, even if they were likely infinite.
No point in chickening out now.
Damian hesitated a bit but ended up deciding to mix the two. Although his priority would still be to collect sufficient information, he planned to give fighting it out a try in the process.
As he stepped closer to his target as silently as possible, Damian tried his best to calm his beating heart.
He might have much more movent options now that he was controlling a fully functional character, but the thought of eting another one of those Goblins made his hands a little bit shaky.
While moving through the square roads of a pixel map was quite inconvenient, Damian at least didnt have to manage his emotions doing so!
Hopefully, the flexibility outweighs the emotional disability. Inventory.
Taking out the flimsy sword, Damian tightly held it as his head peeked out from behind the walls of the lit-up area.
Oh my-
Once again, Damian held back his reaction as much as he could. This wasnt the one or two beginner monsters that he was expecting.
The entire family of the departed Goblin seed to be gathered together for lunch after his burial.
Greee!
And it looked like Damian was part of the nu
