Day 31

I have completed four weeks or about a month in this game. I haven’t been able to log out even once. I am starting to think that there is no log out option. It just keeps going on and on and on and on…

It is starting to drive me crazy.

I thought of myself as a hardcore gamer but this is taking thing’s to the extremes.

The single biggest difference between this and any virtual reality game is my inability to log out, sit on a plushy and relax. Instead, we are constantly surrounded by sand, more sand and lots of sand. There is no end to this vast desert.

I accept that we were slow to start with but heck this has been going on for far too long!

Beyond my whining nothing notable happened.

I have no clue what my AGI, STR etc are so I am not going to get into those…

Day 41

We took shelter in a few ruins in the desert today. Since the wind was blowing strong and kicking sand into the air all training was suspended for that period.

Abbe specifically stopped the training saying that it is easy to lose sense of direction in a sand storm. He wasn’t worried about me not being able to find them but rather us going off track.

“What are these?” I asked as I examined the old building structure. It looked like a huge column that was buried in the sand. It must have been pretty high since only the tip of the real structure appears to be jutting out of the sand.

“Ruins.” The Abbe replied.

“Yes, I can see that…”

The Abbe sighed and sat down. “Long long ago, the arid desert was a flourishing green and vibrant city…”

“What happened to it?”

“War…”

“War turned a green region into a wasteland?”

The Abbe only nodded.

“So what started it?”

“I have no idea, some say it was scarcity of water that triggered the war others say that it was border disputes and there are even stories of a noble dispute, the rumours are endless…but everyone knows who ended it..”

“Who?”

“…” The Abbe took a moment. “Someone that you should pray that we never meet.”

“Why? What’s his power?”

“The adventurer so much so isn’t the problem but it is his Guardian that one needs to be worried about…”

“So it was an adventurer…do adventurers participate in battles much?”

“Some do and some don’t.”

“So it’s like that…”

The Abbe’s story got me thinking. I am certain that I am incapable of such widespread destruction. I am also fairly sure that all my Guardians combined couldn’t wipe out a city…whoever this was …was pretty scary…

With all the level up of my bodily functions, I find the hot desert temperature quite normal. Just as any normal person does and my humanoid body looks quite human in terms of shape. I wouldn’t say I resemble a human owing to the difference in skin colour etc. However, my shape is that of a human. If were to wear my curtain /rat fur makeshift clothes, I could easily pass off for a human.

I am finally able to land blows to the wall without worrying about my hand blowing up or anything. I did have one fine hand (the dwarf one) but I wanted to bring both my hands to the level where I could fight consistently.

I still haven’t revealed my powered up version to the Abbe. I am letting him believe that I am still the same. I have been taking my time and patience, to study Gustav and to learn everything I can about his movements. This also means that I have lost to Gustav about 33 times.

However, today is different. Today, I plan to crush Gustav.

The Abbe drew a circular ring today and clapped his hands.

The sparring has begun.

Gustav is taking his time, each battle he has tried a number of different tactics – and always succeeded. Today is no different, he seems to be up to something.

However I have a surprise for him. I change my form into a humanoid form. This is the first time Gustav, Abbe or Maylon have seen this form. Unlike previous versions, this really does give the look and feel of a human. The Abbe’s jaws were left dangling open as he tried to digest the fact that I can do something uncanny as this. Even Gustav was unsettled by my sudden change in form. Usually, my form is that of a crippled humanoid or some gooey blob….but what I showed him today was my true ability.

I smiled, I could see the discomfort in Gustav’s eyes.

Time to show you my superior strength.

I make a dash towards Gustav who was to stunned to move and instantly changed my hand into a sword and had it pressed against his throat. My slime is not sharp to cut but it is layered and compact and sturdy like a baseball bat.

The Abbe raised his hand immediately.

Gustav fell to his knees in shock.

I walked past the Abbe and said, “Children just don’t cut it for sparring sessions.”

Yup! I was gloating my victory. I had worked extremely hard and it is finally paying off!

Take that you metaphors spewing old man!

I think I saw the Abbe smile.

Day 51

Today my sparring partner is Maylon.

Contrary to my expectations it is not the Abbe but Maylon.

I mean the useless Maylon.

The completely useless Maylon, who sees me and scream and then faints.

The beautifully luscious Maylon….who I haven’t been able to touch in a while…

Oh this is not so bad. Now that I think about it is in fact great!

God has finally decided to reward me!

I can actually *touch* Maylon….I mean hit her….*in places*…and it wouldn’t count as molestation.

A lewd smile made its way across my face.

My eyes sparkled with fiery determination which I seemed to have lost.

I stepped into the triangle that the Abbe had made.

My eyes were only locked on the Maylon’s 36DD.

Target acquired.

I think I might end up going all out.

The Abbe clapped his hand and I dashed…

I find myself flying through the air.

The next view I have is of the sky.

Wait. What just happened here?

Did she just own me?

I look around to see and notice my body has been splattered across the desert.

What the HELL??

What? How?? Did she do that to me??

The useless Maylon just owned me in under a second?

How??
