Headless Girl Vanessa
Marvin started to re about this name
In the gaame forum He once saw a picture posted by an anonymous player ID
On the picture was an ornament shaped like a platycodon flower
That ornament was an unco Marvin still remembered its attributes
[Vanessa’s gift]
Quality: Uncommon
Effect: Fear resistance +10
Requireirl accomplish her dream
This was obviously a quest reward item
At the ti his equipment info was most likely in order to show off, so most people overlooked it Luckily, Marvin’s ood as he was still able to remember its attributes
There were not many items that could raise fear resistance in this world Marvin reet hold of
There was originally no clue for how to get Vanessa’s gift
But he just now figured it out That anonymous player posted the picture just a week after the scarlet monastery instance was released
He probably was the first player to enter the scarlet irl quest then
”Vanessa… Why can’t I look at you?” Marvin asked hesitantly, wanting to know the ins and outs of the situation
He could feel that the girl had no malicious intent
”BecauseEvery ordinary huht lose your mind!” Vanessa explained, ”So please, by all means, don’t turn and look at me, please?
Marvin nodded
The headless girl’s body probably had a [Strong Fear Effect] attached to it, that kind of trick If someone saw her body, he would need to face a fear check
Although Marvin had a tough soul, if his body was unable to endure and failed the check, he would be done for He still wasn’t fond of taking risks
”Why did you appear?” he asked
”My head has been stolen by a despicable person Can you help me retrieve it?” Vanessa quietly asked
The girl’s voice felt so in this quiet empty room
Marvin glanced at the shadow on the ground Under the light of the round
‘There really is no head’
Marvin glooh, it’s the [Headless Girl]
He forced a laugh ”I am a mere human, why do you think I can help you?”
”I can feel that you have strong willpower, and your fighting skills are quite excellent,” Vanessa said in a low voice ”You can stealth and could easily stealyou”
”I need et involved in yourhe could do, ”I don’t want to lose my life”
Ten host hallway
He approached the painting Headless Girl
He was pondering whether he should accept the headless girl’s request or not
An ite easy to find On top of that, the quest didn’t require fighting, only stealing so, which was his domain
After agreeing to the headless girl’s request, another quest appeared in Marvin’s quest menu
Marvin already knew about the quest details, and the reas a ”???”
This kind of randoamble, but luckily this time, he already knehat the quest reas
He followed Vanessa’s directions and gently put both hands on the painting
”Relax, relax”
Vanessa’s gentle and soft voice could be heard next to his ears
”Close your eyes”
”Now step forward”
Marvin did as told
”Creak!” Marvin opened
a door and took two steps forhile closing his eyes The quiet and peaceful surroundings suddenly turned clamorous
A bird was chirping on top of a branch; it seemed like he had arrived in a forest
The next second, Marvin opened his eyes and sure enough, he was in a small forest
[You have discovered a mysterious location – Boknin]
[Knowledge – Insight +5]
[Knowledge – Insight – Boknin world]: This place is a painting made up of distorted space, located between Feinan Continent and the spirit world It looks like an ordinary farm, but Evil Spirit envoy Morris rules over every piece of land here He has two forces under his control, crow patrols and dark knights Every fine thing in this place is false
[You have entered the painting world – Boknin…]
He was surrounded by birds, fragrances and surroundings full of vitality
Behind him was an almost dried up locust tree He made sure to remember that tree’s look and location as it was his only way home
The headless girl wasn’t able to co world, so he had to act alone for what came next
His target was a castle on a hill in Boknin This castle belonged to the lord of this area, known as old Morris, who apparently was an lower plane evil spirit envoy specialized in re world
Caution was required in this kind of place Otherwise, a careless personworld
