Two field mice, no bigger than rats, blocked my path.

Is this a rat?

The rats I know don’t reach up to a person’s knees.

Suddenly I started to feel afraid.

What if I lose to a rat?

Could I, who has never fought in my life, win a fight against such a monster?

What if I run away?

Can I run faster than that rat?

I gripped the branch tightly, sweating profusely.

What should I do? Run away? Fight?

Then suddenly I realized something strange.

Hey guys, why aren’t you moving?

I moved slightly to the side and their gaze followed me.

It’s alive.

But why are you just sitting there?

I mustered up a little courage and waved a branch in front of them. They definitely reacted, but they didn’t attack me in any way.

This time I tried to sneak away, but when I looked back, he was following me at the same distance as before.

Are you not going to let me run away?

Then suddenly a hypothesis crossed my mind.

Isn’t this a game?

Then… maybe because it’s a turn-based game, they’re just sitting there?

It was a ridiculous imagination, but somehow seeing them made it feel quite plausible.

So if I hit them, they’ll hit me back?

Then, during the opponent’s turn? Do I have to stay still and not move like that?

I thought about it a little more, but there was no more information to be gained by just sitting still.

Yeah, it’s the first monster you encounter in the game, so there’s no way I’d lose.

At best, it would only end with a few hits.

Oh, I hate being sick.

I grabbed a branch and approached a mouse.

You just have to kill them all at once.

If you stab him in the vital spot, won’t he die? Like the eye or something like that.

Seeing how the game still seemed to be in such a strange place, I had a feeling it wouldn’t be solved that easily, but for now, that was the only thing I could believe in.

As I approached, the rat looked at me with bright eyes.

Looking at it like this, I thought I would feel sorry for it, but I don’t.

It really seems like I could kill someone without any pangs of conscience.

Was I really this lacking in empathy?

Thinking about it that way made me a little sad, so I just assumed it was the game’s fault.

At first glance, it doesn’t seem like a game with such elements, so perhaps they systematically made it so that you don’t feel guilty or something?

Yes, it definitely will.

Because I was living with normal sensibilities until an hour ago.

This is clearly the game’s fault.

Shhh!

Without hesitation, I thrust the branch with all my might into the rat’s eye.

Then the rat retreated backwards and avoided my attack.

Huh?

That was right.

It’s not your eyes that are the problem.

What is this?

A message came to mind.

7 damage?

Does that mean that much attack power was put into it?

“Ugh!”

While I was distracted for a moment, the rats tried to peck at my stomach.

Of course, I had no intention of avoiding it and just got hit by the rat and rolled around.

sick….

It doesn’t hurt enough to kill me, but it feels like I’ve been punched twice.

The rats that attacked me stood there quietly as if nothing had happened.

I hesitated for a moment, momentarily overwhelmed by their gaze.

No, you’re a human being and you’re scared of rats?

Who am I?

The lord of all creation.

Yeah. There’s no way I could lose to a mere rat like that.

I tried to muster up my courage and threw the branch.

I think my fists would be better than this.

Passthru.

When I hit the head of the same field mouse with all my might, its body disintegrated and disappeared into light.

Why does this feel like a game?

Oh, it’s a game, right?

Okay, okay.

These guys die in about two hits.

Anyway, physical strength will be about the same.

I gathered my courage and turned towards the remaining one.

“You little rat, you’re getting hit too… Kekeke!”

Oh shit, I forgot again.

I woke up rubbing my cold stomach.

Wait, if you die after two hits, shouldn’t you take this one more time?

… This time, let me avoid it too.

But this time, with just one hit, the rat died.

Oh, is your stamina between 7 and 11?

I have a feeling it’ll be 10 days.

It’s really over.

I can tell for sure since I even got that message.

“Hoo… .”

I sank to the ground.

The corpses and everything else turned to light and flew away, leaving no traces behind, but at least their traces remained on my ship.

it hurts….

***

Let me open the stats window.

There were a few things I learned after repeating several battles.

Even if you level up, your stamina won’t be restored.

In other words, if you wander around without thinking, you’re really likely to die.

Still, I was worried but decided to keep going, thinking that they wouldn’t have made the first map so difficult that I would die while moving.

I think it’s about time we start seeing the village… .

And secondly, Charisma increases faster than other stats.

It seems that the stats go up by two every time you level up, but it’s a completely different level of increase from strength, magic power, which only go up by one, or talents that go up by two every two levels.

Considering that this game is a night game, it wasn’t a very positive sign.

Later on, when I reach the three digits, men might get horny and attack me just by looking at me.

Is there any way to stop this?

If you don’t level up, you won’t be able to progress, and you won’t be able to escape.

absurdity.

It’s so unreasonable! As the level goes up, the problems don’t decrease, they increase!

I can only hope that among the equipment, there is some equipment that lowers the attractiveness.

And, very sadly, there’s one more fucking fact left.

If you get hit a lot, your clothes will tear, as if someone is saying it’s not a night game.

It’s armor!

Why is the armor torn?

And that’s just for a rat?

When I first learned of this, I was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was a fairly standard device.

If the female protagonist were to play a game, wouldn’t she end up fighting and getting her clothes torn?

There won’t be any stupid games where the armor rips like a piece of paper.

Thanks to that, my nipples were now shyly poking their heads through the gap in my armor.

The armor that covers between my legs is also tattered.

It was torn so much that someone might be able to force it in.

This is because all the armor is bikini armor.

It’s like a useless piece of armor.

Because of that, I had no choice but to cover my body with both hands whenever I walked.

Actually, I was a little excited at first because I had never had the chance to look at a woman’s body in detail before, but when I thought about this being my body, I just got goosebumps.

Repair… I don’t know if it’s okay to use the expression repair for armor, but I think it has that kind of function.

For that, we need to find the village quickly.

No, shouldn’t you at least put an item with that function in the item window?

Not only the item window, but even the bag doesn’t open, so what do you want me to do?

Shit game.

This game is clearly shit.

Thinking about it like that, I became incredibly anxious about the future.

…Is the balance right?

I walked along the road with a heavy heart.

I don’t know how many times I got hit by a ship today.

If this were real, I would have already vomited, gotten bruised, and made a big mess, but since it’s not a game with that kind of element, no such messy elements came out.

It just hurts.

When a rat blocks my path, I unconsciously cover my stomach first.

The enemies were able to dodge my attacks, but strangely enough, I couldn’t.

There are no particular restrictions on your actions, but the enemies are too fast.

Well, there’s no way to react or do anything.

After I hit them, they suddenly start punching me in the stomach with all their might.

I don’t want to admit it, but it hurt and I even shed some tears.

I haven’t cried since I was in the second year of middle school… .

Even though I was beaten a lot, it was worth it to keep moving forward, as I could see a magnificent castle in the distance.

Yeah, that’s definitely the next town!

In terms of scale, it’s more like a castle than a village.

I survived!

Now let’s find a place to stay, like an inn or something, and rest, please!

I don’t know where the money is, but it comes into the system every time I catch something, so it must be somewhere.

Now, rather than looking for it, I wanted to get into the castle as soon as possible.

Beep beep beep.

Ah, they all came… .

They’re all here!

As if lightly mocking the screams in my heart, this shit game presented me with a new enemy.

Wrinkled green skin.

A short person who only reaches about my waist.

He holds a small club in his hand.

It was obvious who they were.

Goblin.

Shit, there’s another type of monster.
