? Prince CH 2 (1/2)
Chapter 2: Legend, Begin – translated by Erialis
“Hey, Lolidragon, what’s your class?” I asked as I ree? Priest?”
Lolidragon cackled Or perhaps she’s a witch!
“How could I possibly pick such dull jobs? I chose the class with the brightest future in the game!”
That piqued my curiosity “Which is…?”
Covering her ain, “Wohohohohohooo! Do I even need to say it? I’m obviously… A thief!”
“True, that seeht” future,1 but we only have a warrior and a thief in our party That’s hardly ideal”
“Relax! Just wait and I’ll teach you the real way to fight – no sweat, blood, or money required,” she replied confidently
The trip to the Wolves’ Riverbank was supposed to take only fifteen et there Obviously, Lolidragon was the reason for the delay Under the pretext that no one else was around, she forced me to take off my mask and her eyes immediately turned into two hearts
Lolidragon handed me aat myself with heart-shaped eyes, just like her
Waaah! Why?! Why?! Why a? My God!
In uys so hot that I couldn’t help but sigh over them The first was that little brother of , even if his personality is the worst) The second was myself
Oh God, don’t tell , I returned the o!
Just as I was about to walk over to the nearest wolf and vent on stopped me with a shout “Stay there and watch how I deal with the wolf! Observe” She took out a dagger and approached her prey
“Second Life is truly a realistic ga on which part of the mob you attack That’s e should find a ,” she explained as she moved
That was old news topoultry, fish, or meat For chickens, you had to slit their throats; for fish, you had to slit their bellies…just as I’d de wolves earlier
As one on snuck noiselessly up behind the ithout attracting its notice With a powerful slash, she cut through one of the wolf’s hind legs
<wolf hp=”” -30=””>
The wolf instantly spun around and attempted to land a bite, but there was no way it could possibly hurt the agile – and prepared – thief With the greatest of ease, she ran in circles around it The wolf, in turn, could not catch up with a on would periodically turn about and slash at it After taking about five or six of her attacks, the wolf announced that it was going to stop playing, and finally left for heaven
<lolidragon has=”” killed=”” wolf,=”” lolidragon’s=”” experience=”” has=”” increased=”” to=”” xxx=”” xxxx,=”” prince’s=”” experience=”” has=”” increased=”” to=”” xxx=”” xxxx=””>
“Whehat do you think? I didn’t spill a single drop of blood!” She raised her chin and said proudly, “You can tell a pro player from a mile way When you meet one, you should watch and learn!”
I scratchedthe closest wolf an upward kick, I followed up with a swing of otten to check what Black Dao’s attack poas, but it was definitely higher than that of the knife I had been using earlier, judging by the way it severed that poor wolf in two Rest in peace!
“Y-you kicked…” Lolidragon stared at the scene, speechless and thoroughly stunned What on earth is this fighting style? she wonderedThis is insane… To think that I had never even considered this kind of approach…!
Feeling extreer, I stalked over to the next wolf It looks like I can finally try out those hter!
I launched the wolf into the air with a kick, followed by a second kick upwards Then, aligning my fist with my body, I punched out at the wolf above on Fist!”)2 Still airborne, I kicked the wolf back to the earth
“…” Lolidragon watched, still speechless
However, when I attes up and extended, twirling in the air like a human helicopter – I discovered that it defied the laws of huy and was purely for shoas rewarded with a sprained waist, a bump on my head, and a bite from the wolf
Waaah, saliva! Everyone should know by now that when I encountered saliva, I would…go berserk!
You da my hand with your sobr! You’re deadSword Style, Nine Swords of Du Gu, Toast to the Eight, Quick Sword Technique, Head Slam, “Ten” Strike, Shoulder Throw, Women’s Self-Defense!3
“Holy…! Prince, what sort of insane fighting style is this?” Lolidragon de in silence She couldn’t tell whether she was playing an MMORPG or a fighting game any novel4 or a comic
I paused, feeling soht like this?”
CHOMP!
GRRR! To actually steal a bite from me while I was distracted, you dae
She treainst the rules,” she croaked But for somebody to actually be able to play like this on an MMO, and a totally clueless warrior, at that…
“Or could it be because he’s clueless?” Lolidragondawned upon her It’s precisely because he isn’t faameplay that Prince’s actions are unique His behavior doesn’t conform to convention at all He has no limits or restrictions Rather, he has endless potential and innovation This is the true way to play a game with a realism level of 99!
Watching as I wreaked havoc on the wolves, Lolidragon smiled helplessly
“He really is a clueless pro player”
I could vaguely hear Lolidragon saying so I chopped one last time at a wolf and turned around to ask her if she had said so like “a clueless killer”, only to see…
“Lolidragon, RUN! Behind—” Before I could finish speaking, a wolf three tied towards her fro down on her shoulder
<wolf king=”” has=”” successfully=”” attacked=”” lolidragon,=”” lolidragon=”” hp=”” -150,=”” 100=”” 250=””>
“Urgh…” Struggling to ignore the acute pain in her shoulder, Lolidragon dashed towards me
shi+elding her withWhat beautiful white fur it has… Looks like I’ll be able to get a white cape after all!
As I daydreaed for ed to block, and iing in and I decided to use a spin-kick Unsurprisingly, however, its physical resistance was considerable Though I’d put all ered two steps to the left It immediately moved in for another attack Unable to react in time, I could only watch as its jaws clamped down on my left hand
“O…” I raised my dao and slashed at its stoed to nick it!
<wolf king=”” hp=”” -30=””>
Hearing the system notice, I nearly fainted Only thirty health? Just one bite fro’s health is probably asin my mind
“Prince, good luck! If it gets too tough, coon, you sure are fast, getting to safety by cli a tree in the blink of an eye…
I had no option but to force ined myself as Chun Li – with her low hit points and weak attack power – facing off against the insanely overpowered Iori Yagah, this is bad! I don’t think I’ve ever won under those conditions in King of Fighters… In any case, the basic principle is to avoid a head-on fight
Argh, the wolf is co upwards Too heavy to be lifted into the air at all, the Wolf King was barely knocked over…
<wolf king=”” hp=”” -15=””>
Suth, I raised my blade and stabbed down at its belly Stab, stab, stab! dah its hide!
<wolf king=”” hp=”” -50=””>
Waaah! The Wolf King swiped at me Nooo, don’t scar my face… Waaah!
“Prince, you’d better get over here,” Lolidragon advised, her face turning pale
I sprinted towards the tree that she was perched in However, ’s, so I was raked twice by its claws
I’ht, If I try to cli mauled…
Up in the tree, Lolidragon watched the scene beloith h her mind: No limits or restrictions…
Lolidragon took instant action Hooking her legs on the tree branch, she hung upside down from the tree and stretched both hands down
“Prince, trapeze!” Prince will definitely get it, she thought
Seeing the situation, Iforward in an arc andaway at the tree trunk beneath, I thought, It’s a good thing I’ve seen a circus act before
Whew! I’on held a hand to her chest as she gasped for breath, her nerves similarly frayed We turned and stared at each other
“Hahahaha…hehehe,” we began to laugh
“Hurry up and drink your health potions We still have to co,” said Lolidragon
“M I still have those ten health potions fro down one potion after another
In the end it took five health potions to fully restoremy face, I was relieved to find that the wound had vanishedThank goodness, but now I only have five health potions left How troublesome
“This wolf’s hide is just too thick; I can’t penetrate it at all Plus, it was heavy, so there was no way to kick it into the air,” I gruht it?
“It can’t be helped, since our levels are too low,” Lolidragon replied, her eyebrows furrowing thoughtfully I have no idea how to kill this boss Wolf King, but with bosses being a rare encounter, it see it… “We’ll have to look for a weak point Itas we attack its weak spot we should still be able to deal quite a lot of dah to kill it”
Could this wolf, with a hide so tough it could be made of steel, actually have a weakness? I wondered Then, I suddenly recalled a saying I’d often read in wuxia6 novels: No matter how hard you train, you can’t train your eyes to become like steel!
“Eyes,” I croaked out
Lolidragon nodded After swiftly coth of rope from her pouch “Prince, have you ever watched a Western cowboy film?”
“… Yeah?”
Lolidragon smiled confidently “Then there’s no proble the horse for a wolf, so you should be able to handle it”
“…You sure have a lot of confidence in me,” I replied I know I’m terrified… My life is at stake here, and you wantmore than a horse! As I spoke, II used to be a Girl Scout or I wouldn’t even be able to tie a live knot
“Once you’ve lassoed it, climb the tree and tie the rope to the tree, so the dumb on’t be able to move freely After that, the show’s all ours, heh heh heh…”
Aon’s smile suddenly look so…sadistic? Hallucination! I !
Take a deep breath Breathe out, breathe in again, breathe out… Okay! Focusing ’s back, I leapt down frohtly about its furry neck even as the Wolf King – who see to throw me off
The wolf’s edto happen! I thought Falling off will definitely , I’ll show you just how tenacious a woman can be!
Lolidragon’s face was pale as death as she watched the scene below froone pale… But that hadme rather wolf-sick
Despite the ed to loop the rope about the Wolf King’s neck I was clawed a few times in the attempt, but the injuries cost me an insubstantial thirty or forty health Once it was properly collared, I quickly dismounted from the horse – ah, no, the wolf – and ran as fast as I could with the Wolf King hot on my heels
Once again, Lolidragon and I performed a trapeze act I then ju allthe wolf from the tree
Leaping froon used the ability that only small weapons had–
“Fatal Blow” The attack struck the Wolf King’s left eye spot on
<critical hit=”” successful,=”” wolf=”” king=”” hp=”” -300=””>
The Wolf King roared in pain Even though using the tree branch for leverage had saved y, I was about to lose ain However, this tiht eye, it merely struck its forehead
<wolf king=”” hp=”” -100=””>
At thatfrayed quite a bit from the friction, finally snapped As soon as it was free, the Wolf King leapt towards its neon – and bit down ferociously Trapped beneath the Wolf King’s body, she could not escape
<lolidragon hp=”” -150,=”” 100=”” 250=””>
“Lolidragon!”
I dashed towards the Wolf King’s back The Fatal Blow that Lolidragon had just executed reminded me of my own ability: Inferno Slash
“Inferno Slash!+” Thethe length ofthat the Wolf King wouldn’t die so easily, I reversed the motion and executed another Inferno Slash, then another, and another until the fifth and final attack exhausted all my mana

I kicked the Wolf King’s corpse aside Upon seeing that Lolidragon was still okay – aside froh of relief Good thing she didn’t die
Lolidragon continued to lie on the ground However, even though her face was dripping with sweat, she was grinning I save me a kick
“Aren’t you going to hurry and take a look at the loot?”
“Oh” I lazily sat up and glanced about Scattered around us was an egg, a pair of shoes, and a small pile of silvers
Just then, Lolidragon cried out, startling me
“What’s wrong?” Did the Wolf King come back to life? No way!
“Your weapon leveled up?” Lolidragon could see roup
I looked at Black Dao’s stats
<black dao:=”” weapon=”” level=”” 2,=”” attack=”” power=”” +15=””>
“Yeah Second Life really is strange, if even the weapons can level up”
I received a whack on the head for that coon roared, “Only weapons of the growing type will level up!”
“Oh…” Well pardonread up on the official site! It’s not like you didn’t know about that… If you keep hitting my head, I’ll become an idiot!
Hearing on rolled her eyes “Do you kno valuable growing-type weapons are? They are similar to Godly weapons! Just think: If your sword could continually level up and increase in attack poould the advantages be?”
Wahhh! Wouldn’t that rade , ? By this point, un to shi+ne I had co in the long run
Seeing the glion knew that I’d understood Heh! Lucky! I thought, feeling indescribably joyful
Aside fro, and neither Lolidragon nor I could wait to find out what pet would hatch froe first so that we could identify the shoes and7 find a pet shop where we could hatch the egg Once Lolidragon and I had cootten e
The instant we reached the village gates, I realized that I’d made a massive error The first tinorance, the second tie idiot! To actually fail to wear a ate…
I shi+fted on – as standing next to rip and practically nestled herself in my arms
“Hub-by,” Lolidragon cooed in a cloyingly sweet voice, leavingon end “Didn’t you just say, that I’m your mo-o-st beloved,mo-o-st beautiful wife?”
