[Mutated Wolf Hide x1]
[Mutated Wolf’s Large Fangs x2]
For anyone who's played this ga, the thods to acquire equipnt items are pretty straightforward. You can buy them from shops, order custom pieces from a blacksmith, or even win rare items at auctions.
In this ga, one of the most common ways to get items is to commission them from a blacksmith. Of course, since this ga strives for "another reality," other thods are possible too.
However, the items you find in stores are often of diocre quality, and auction prices can be outrageously high. That’s why most players opt for custom orders—they’re more reasonably priced and generally better quality.
But there's a catch to this thod... You usually need to provide your own materials. Sure, you can buy materials, but that often makes things too expensive. In that case, you're better off settling for diocre store-bought gear. Money, after all, is a constant obstacle.
And unlike other RPGs, this ga doesn't just hand out items, so getting new equipnt can be tricky. But just when she thought it’d be tough, the materials practically fell into her lap—and they were of surprisingly high quality.
A mutated wolf? Isn’t that a monster from this forest? The monsters here are notorious for being incredibly high-level. Even she, a player considered high-level by most, couldn’t handle them.
Among them, the "Mutated Wolf" was one of the weaker monsters, but even so, it was still very strong.
'What level are Mutated Wolves usually?'
Even though creatures of the sa species can vary in level, you can usually figure out an average. And it didn’t take her long to rember why.
It was because the monster that killed her in this forest was a mutated wolf. She clearly rembered the level of that beast...
'83.'
Holy crap.
Chaerin cursed inwardly. That was practically a ranker-level monster. Just what level was this guy?
[Wow, Chaerin’s 'oppa' must be insanely strong ㄷㄷㄷ]
[A strong man ㄷㄷ twisted desires...]
[User has been banned by the manager]
[Wait, why was that one banned?]
[Maybe he just found a dead wolf and took its body?]
[Lol right, like n can be that strong hahaha]
[Fact: There’s a truckload of people who trash-talked only to get sliced by the Knights’ Captain.]
"...?"
anwhile, Yor was confused.
Honestly, from his perspective, all he did was hand her a few random items he had lying around. Sure, he knew they were valuable, but for him, they were easy to co by.
However, for Yoo Chaerin, they were rare treasures. Since this region was largely unexplored, the items from here were scarce, making them highly sought after.
Because of that, Chaerin lowered her head in gratitude.
"Thank you so much!"
She was already imagining how to craft them. The hide would make excellent armor, and with two fangs, she could forge a pair of daggers…
‘Hehe.’
Maybe she’d end up with sothing even better than the level 75 daggers she had her eyes on.
"Alright, now go. It’s getting dark," Yor said.
"Ah, yes!"
With that, Chaerin left Yor’s house.
Once she was gone, Yor casually glanced over the supplies.
'Six bottles of holy water.'
And a strawberry jam pastry!
He was quite pleased with the outco.
These were the kinds of items you’d normally only find in the city center. Given Yor’s status as a fugitive, they were precious goods he couldn’t easily get.
Compared to that, the junk items he gave Chaerin were nothing. Sure, he could ask so shady folks in the back alleys to get things for him, but who knew what they might do to his bread?
Holy water was also sothing even they couldn’t easily procure.
Feeling satisfied, Yor took a bite of the pastry with a soft smile.
“Ah.”
The rich, sweet flavor filled his mouth. It reminded him of sothing nostalgic.
‘Though it’s gotten a bit cold…’
That was a slight disappointnt.
The day after Chaerin left, I imdiately got to work disguising my house.
Even though I had decided to reveal myself to so extent, that didn’t an I wanted people wandering in and out of my ho all the ti.
Using dirt and leaves I found nearby, I started covering the roof of the cave. Luckily, my house was already quite nature-friendly, so adding a layer of leaves didn’t feel too out of place.
From a distance, soone might just mistake it for a large pit. As for the entrance to the cave… I left that uncovered for now. It wasn’t very large, so it wasn’t that noticeable. Plus, I needed so sunlight in my life.
I an, my ntal state was already hanging by a thread; I at least needed sunlight to survive. And besides, there was another thought lingering in the back of my mind:
‘It’s only a matter of ti before I’m discovered.’
No matter how well I disguised it, my house wasn’t going to stay hidden forever. If more people started entering this forest, it was inevitable that my place would eventually be found.
When that ti cos, I’ll truly feel like an animal in a zoo.
All I could do was hope that these Otherworlders had enough decency not to break into my ho uninvited.
"Phew, done."
After so ti, I finally finished the work. My little house now blended in seamlessly with the forest around it. With that, today’s major task was complete.
‘Now I need to get so food.’
The only thing left to do was go about my daily routine. Hopefully, I’d be able to find sothing good today.

[Today’s Yor Hot Mont ㅋㅋㅋ]
(Photo of Yor lifting his tank top)
Damn, ㅋㅋㅋ look at those gains ㅋㅋㅋ
[What the hell;]
[It’s kinda hot...ㅎㅎ]
[Who’s this Yor guy anyway?]
[You know, that NPC living in the Forbidden Forest]
[Ah, got it ㅋㅋㅋ]
Click-
[New quest-giving NPC just dropped? Is it true?]
Details pls
[Yep, a strear nad Yoo Chaerin found him this ti]
[Oh nice ㅋㅋㅋ Can I get a quest if I go too?]
[Dream on ㅋㅋ Why would he give you a quest?]
[Watch your mouth, jerk]
[Who knows if he’ll keep giving out quests? Based on that errand list, he seems like a quest-worthy NPC;]
[Still, worth checking out? NPCs who give quests aren’t that common]
Click.
After finishing her stream, Yoo Chaerin casually scrolled through the community forums, one of her small pleasures.
One of her favorite things was checking out viewers' reactions to her stream. Her editor always warned her that reading those would only ss with her ntal state, but she couldn’t help herself.
Fortunately, the reactions weren’t bad today. In fact, the feedback seed pretty positive. For a small-ti strear like her, even being ntioned in the community was a rare occurrence.
It was a sign of just how much impact Yor had. And on top of that, a quest had triggered today. Of course, it was only natural for players to focus on him.
Not every quest-giving NPC was a major figure in the ga, but any NPC that did give quests had a chance of becoming important to the ga’s storyline.
It was worth rembering for the players. Besides, Yor’s appearance alone made him pretty morable. Chaerin couldn’t help but smirk to herself.
It seed like Yor wasn’t too happy about people coming to visit him.
‘Well, more are definitely coming now...’
That was sothing she couldn’t control. A quest had appeared, so people would co to check him out no matter what. At least she had hinted on her stream to deter any toxic players from bothering him too much.
Even though she hadn’t seen him fight firsthand, people were already beginning to understand just how strong Yor might be.
Ding!
As these thoughts ran through her head, her phone buzzed with a notification. It was a ssage from her editor.
[BlackCat: Watched your stream, it was fun]
[BlackCat: Should I start editing right away?]
"Hmm..."
Chaerin hesitated. Normally, the obvious thing to do after a stream would be to edit it and upload the highlights to YouTube. But after hearing Yor’s complaints yesterday… sothing was bothering her.
She decided to ask her editor for a favor.
[Chaerin: Hey, sis, about that…]
[Chaerin: Could we hold off on uploading to YouTube for now?]
[BlackCat: ??? Why?]
[Chaerin: It’s just… it feels kinda weird.]
[BlackCat: But he’s just an NPC? Why would it matter?]
Her editor had a point. It wasn’t like an NPC would be watching her YouTube channel or anything. From their perspective, Demons’ Saga was just a ga. No matter how human or lifelike the NPCs seed, they were still AI at the end of the day.
That’s why most strears were quick to edit and upload any content from Demons’ Saga. It didn’t really matter which NPC it was—none of them could check YouTube anyway. It was just the standard practice.
Still…
[Chaerin: Sorry, sorry. I’ll treat you to a nice al later!]
[BlackCat: ...Fine, but it better be good]
[Chaerin: Got it, got it!]
Just because NPCs couldn't watch YouTube didn’t an she wanted to risk getting scolded by Yor again. She told herself this to justify her decision. Later, she’d talk to him and ask for permission.
With that, she refocused and resud browsing the forums. The usual crowd from the ga’s community, "Akgal," was chatting away about various in-ga topics.
Suddenly, a post caught her eye, standing out with an unusually high number of comnts.
[So I think I’ve run into a new type of enemy ㄷㄷㄷ]
I was doing a guild quest in a remote village when the villagers started screaming about demons appearing out of nowhere ㄷㄷㄷ
(Video)
Managed to handle it, but what even was that?
[???]
[That’s a person, right?]
[Are we sure it’s human? Those pitch-black eyes are freaking out ㄷㄷㄷ]
[How old is that kid? They look super young]
srized, Yoo Chaerin clicked on the video.
