《Edean World Online》Chapter 2 : New companion, New start

Advertisement

I’ve been thinking of things that happened to me this past few months now as if it was just a dream then again, when I look outside the window thinking everything that had happened and gonna happened to me while being here at Neos.

-------------------

Welcome to EdeanA new world awaits for you

Then a bright flash and a sucking feeling goes over my whole body. Crap why can’t they just simplify this suction feeling. And now i`m like floating in white space emptiness then I landed on the floor and I wait for someone to approached me.

Then I remembered than can moved my legs then I look down and start walking. Feeling my legs again give me fuzzy feeling like a child having his or her favourite gift on Christmas. Then I take my first step one at a time then I start running around. Then feeling of being able to move my legs again is one of the best thing I ever had.

Then after running I start performing series kicks and acrobatic fits and I even perform dance moves that uses mainly your legs. Then flashbacks start hitting me like flood. Series of memories with me and Okaa-san going to school when I was still a child, learning martial arts as a kid and especially dancing.

Okaa-san teaches me how to dance from the old ones to modern, it was one of the best times in my life. Then I lied down on the floor covering my eyes with my arms and started crying.

“You travellers are weird people you know that.”

I ignored her remark, yes a female because of her voice. Childlike voice of maybe 8 to 15 perhaps.

“You don’t know my story and I don’t like telling it too.”

I said while calming myself but I still cover my eyes.

“You know, most of the travellers have finished their new persona and they are now on the respective village you know, and you’re delaying my work and I want to explore also.”

“Much better, I don’t like crowds let’s wait a bit more and I need to recollect my thought also.”

“Fuhn. Fine. Hmp.”

What a stubborn child. Wait I haven’t seen her figure ok let’s see. I peeked behind my arms to whom i’m talking to. And guess what it’s a fairy or maybe a pixie, I can’t tell which is which. I got up and dust myself even though it is non-existent.

“What’s your race and name?”

I asked as I cross my arms on my chest and looking at her seriously. I know that most of this creature a mischievous and will play tricks on you when you let your guard down.

“Hmp. I will be your guide until you’re able to get live on your own. And I`m a proud fairy race that lives near the world tree Yggdrasil that`s the main colony of the spirits. And my name is Leyla.”

What an introduction she even puffing her flat chest. From her look well the generic are the wings and the leafy one piece long sleeve dress than end just above her knees. Her wings is like a butterfly one, it may be a swallow tail.

Her hair is dark violet one having chucks of hair on both side of her face and bangs that goes right side. If I would describe that bangs it looks like it was sharply curved in the middle then down, like the hairs that you see in anime characters.

Then she had a flower ornament that ties the rest of her hair on a ponytail manner. She got a childish face, that was given, and golden brown eyes. Her height might be around 20cm and I bet some lolicon will be flock licking to them now.

“Then let’s get started with your job shall we.”

“Ok, now here are the races that your avatar can resemble to and all of them got good and bad.”

“I get it. So please remove the following races that I will point out”

Then one by one, my options dwindled and I even remove some race I don’t know about or don’t give much good stats or start.

“What are those stars that they have?”

“Oh, so you notice they correspond difficulty the great one said, but for us it was like how hard your life will be but the higher the greater you become like for example hmmm… right the dragoniods and their sub race. You see they have 4 star meaning if they work hard and got the magic it will be much higher that the lower race.”

Oh so higher star, higher difficulty meanings greater reward at late game.

“Okay I get it. Wait for a bit i`m still undecided.”

Let’s see sentinel races are the ones that is left and most have 3 stars like the golem. As I see their stars, I ignored the 1 and 2 stars and continue reading the others. What hit my interest are this two sentinel that have a whopping 5 star. A Clockwork and a Construct. The clockwork is a physical type while the latter is more on magic.

“Are you sure about that? Most of the travellers picks are 3 or 4 star and only a few dare pick 5 because of the risk.”

“How many pick this two class?”

“None actually and besides their race is also one of the hardest to find and stories says that after the series of war most of them disappear. Some says dwarves still got connection to them but others say they vanish now.”

“Are they the cause of war?”

“Hmm… not really from the tales, their arrival are the cause of massive development of most races specially the humans and dwarves because of the things and machine they bring. And that was the age of magic tools comes to life.”

“Then from your story I can get the picture of it. The greed overcome people and races that ignite the war for advancement and most victims are captured for their own cause and the aftermath result of diminishing number of other races special this two. And now most of them hide themselves to prevent another inter race war.”

“Are you here before you know a lot of things?”

“I’m just a fan of books that’s all. Now I will take the clockwork and discover its full potential.”

“Okay but I have given you a warning. So name please”

“Raiser Qant”

“A weird name…hmm… what thus your name means.”

“Raiser is your know to raise again and for the surname that’s a special one. Oh does having a surname bad.”

“For some other races yes but most don’t have until you proven worth to have like the beastkin.”

“Okay so I think i’m ready but can’t I change may looks or I can replace them I mean I’m a clockwork you know.”

“I don’t know, I haven’t seen a clockwork or a construct. And the goddess said that we are the last one on the line. Mmhhnn… my friends will laugh at me for doing this.”

“But your my guide and I’m extinct race that have 5 star so be proud about it you might be popular on your colony guiding a lost one.”

“Thanks. Well the goddess informed me that you can only start in one village because of your race that is.”

“Okay no sweat.”

“Okay let’s go to Edean!”

One moment she’s depressed and now excited. I’m getting worried about her mental issue. When we goes down I feel like float peacefully as I closed my eyes. Then I started to feel my body is starting to change. Like i’m being enclosed in metal, but I doesn’t feel uncomfortable and it’s more like i’m inside my pod.

When I got my consciousness back I feel something is hitting my metal face. I bet it’s the fairy. Anyways let’s get started.

Damn it, even here i`m still limp. Stupid realistic game.

“Wake up you big can, we need to repair you”

“Then stop kicking my visitor you might damage it and shut up i’m starting to work now”

She just puff her cheeks and cross her arms while moving beside me as I got up. I need to check my stats and skill if I have one.

Looks no good for me. And toughness is also a rare start that you have to make yourself a pin cushion before you acquire them, then again I don’t need to go through that hard.

Bingo!! Got new abilities and traits but it will take time. It said new world ability maybe I can take knowledge from the outside to this world. Better list it down later.I can’t move what’s wrong with this body. Baka… i’m a robot of some sort I have to start my engine first may be another inner voice command hmm… let’s try the chuuni type of phrase.

‘Raiser Qant systems ready engine start’ Then I can see that my vision are starting up and I can hear some noise inside me, well that might be my engine.

“Good morning Leyla, how’s everything?”

“Finally you woke up, and here I thought your dead already.”

“I can move now but I have to repair my legs first on operational line before going out.”

“Then make it faster it stinks here you know.”

Then look around and I got amaze because this world have garbage problem also and looks like it is a graveyard of machine. Well much better for me.

“Help me out first coz i’m going to scan things that might help me move.”

“Hmp. Fine”

Wild loli tsundere detected. Need further observation to confirm. Damn I should stop this robo talk. ‘Item box’

Iventory10 Fuel can5 water canteen1 gear box1 tool box

Okay, so I got some magic storage but from the looks of it *sigh* it was my only magic I keep receive. Anyways I have to start working now. Let’s see gear box and tool box. Ohh nifty. I have to scan first my legs before I start.

Great rusted and broken gears, burned wires, clog pistons and other stuff that’s too many. Now for my arm hmm… woo… okay so I got basic construction kit. I haven’t you a welding and soldering tool or even a metal cutter. Better learn it outside later. While i’m deconstruct and replace my legs Leyla is on my shoulders humming beside my head.

“Are you done?”

“No, I need other parts that’s not included in my tool and gear box.”

“I can help you”

“Thank you but I had scanned the surrounding and most part are just underneath of us”

“Fine and make it faster and bored here.”

“Just shut up and don’t disturbed me.”

I just ignore her murmuring about me being stupid and slow. Tsk spoiled fairy. After I repair my legs my stats didn’t improve coz i’m still cover with rust ad my legs are just 50 to 40% repair that I can walk but still slow.

While i’m getting down I continue to burn my energy my scanning around then stop when it hits 40 to regenerate it until back to 70 then search again. Quite troublesome if you ask me. But its 5 star so I have no reason to complain about this.

After 5 hours of scanning and retrieving I found a not so new arms that’s not rusted maybe people here are using clockwork as labour force or something.Then a beast type broken leg but still repairable. So even monsters here are machine type. Well how can a clockwork live with just mined items?

I adjust the beast legs by bisecting its parts and check for common parts then exchange it. One by one my body parts are being exchange from the non-rusted one. So i’m satisfied with this for now and all I need is weapon and core for my head.

When i’m looking around I see that the humanoid type don’t have core and memory on their heads. Might be retrieve or destroyed. After another 2 hour of repair i’m able to remove my rusted body stat and even go bonuses from part I get.

STATUSNameRaiser QantRaceClockworkClassnoneLevel1Durability150/280Energy46/100Energy regen0.20 per secondStrength15Intelligent19Agility24Dexterity20Wisdom15Luck10Toughness18Free stat points0

Some mobs got memory bank and circuits that’s not totally broken so I installed it and well it’s hard to tinker your head especially when you’re not looking so Leyla help me with this. I need to create a repair bot as soon as possible.

While Leyla is hovering around i`m scanning for possible fuel cans and other stuff like oil to help me. It’s a junkyard after all.The good thing is that one’s I’ve scan I can specify it but it just give a vague highlight and come can are just junk. Another one hour and I got some fuel can, grease and oils also I retrieve some gears and other nick naks that I needed for repairs.

“Are we going to adventure now?”

Why is she so eager to go out? She might be a shelter princess type.

“Don’t worry I just need to create weapon and shield and where good to go.”

Then I continue getting scraps and ignore her remark of me being weak. I just retrieve large metal tube, pipe and other scrap that can make a crude club or may be a crude hammer. Then I found a broken shield that have pierced in the middle it quite big but not too heavy for me so I pick it up and repair by putting scrap metal sheets that I found.

Using my core heat as a smelter I start forging my hitting metals and it is too tedious work. Forging metal with nothing but scrap is burn my energy and supply. Then I began storing items inside my item box but the sad part is that it only had 20 slot, but I found a way to storage many stuff by simple packing smaller items on a bigger one. Then I got new ability and item plus my tinker is now 2

Crude blacksmithingBasic 1Ability to create weapons and armours from scrap items.Need proper blacksmithing ability to fuse with this ability

I made crude club and hammer and an iron shield they really looks scrap but if I have many weapon its acceptable.

Now I just need to get out of this scrapyard.

“Do you have a map or know something about this place.”

“Not really, were not allowed to go here unless we are doing the guiding job.”

Ohh shit. No use for this fairy.

“Okay so I just have to jump out of one of the wall and get outside”

“What? There is an exit you know”

“Look here sweet cheeks i`m a rare case so if i go to the crowd having this weak looking body I might get bullied and destroy so no.”

The first statement make her fumed but se realize what our situation.

“Okay but you have me so they will know you’re a traveller as well.”

“Thanks but I need to have weapon for self-defence and improve body part before going out.”

While walking going the opposite side of the exit what I saw is this.

Drone worker antDurability50/50Level 1Drone ant that is created from iron of low quality and items scavenged and programmed to search and scavenged materials for the hive.

Well looks like a can try my weapons if it’s effective. But it might call for support call of the description that have hive on it. I don’t like to be swarmed and dismantled on my first day.

Well it looks and operates like an ant but on a size of 3 shoebox, and its filling up scraps on its back. Interesting, I might discover new things from its mechanics.

“Look an enemy, go and smash it so you can level up now”

“I have others plan so be quite”

I continue following the ant that’s retrieving stuffs that I can’t find. I feel like a bandit waiting to strike a merchant getting his goods. The ant is good at picking things then I see that his head part extend for a bit and moved out of the scraps.

Looks like it’s time for harvest. I circle around where I know the ant will go then wait for it. And as soon as I saw it head I smash it neck that connects its head.

Vital Hit -40

Before it even reacts I cut its neck by my tool arm.

Drone worker ant defeated90% are able to salvage

I didn’t see experience notice, looks like they will gonna make us discover it by our own.As I retrieve the ant and go to a safer place where there’s no ant, I start dismantling it specially the major part as mentioned by my scanner.

“So you ambush it, quite tricky.”

“I need to or it might signal other drone to swarm me.”

“A success hunt doesn’t it, but I wish to see more major battle”

“Don’t worry we will get there”

After our exchange, I cut its visor in two so it could fit mine. Having no visor feels weird, but any way I have better scanner now and it also comes with an antenna that I attached around my ears. Its engine and battery is on its abdomen.

I open my chest, my core like a heart and engines are like abdomen and others. I need to make myself bigger or find a more compact stuffs that is on the future. I place the extra battery and engine and connect them to the bigger one and close my chest again take my body scan.

Sensor antenna(upgradable)Enable the scanner to perceive movement and detect its location around the body.Radius: 3 meters

New engine and power supply has been attachedRecalibrating power output and energy consumptionEnergy regeneration improveEnergy storage enlarge

Quite a good hunt, and now I have sensors so might as well full repair myself. After an hour of repairing and preparation, I start moving again. The loots that the ant collected are new ones that I attached to my body and now I don’t hear unnecessary sounds produce my rusted, old parts.

As I continue my hunt for worker ant, my supply of necessity is also increasing because of their work. After my hundred or so I’ve already lost count, finally I levelled up. Then I think again I have a guide fairy but why isn’t she helping me.

“Hey Leyla, you’re a guide right then why are you unable to help me?”

She looks shocked then starts to fidget around.

“You’re not telling what you know are you.”

She’s on her verge of crying that her face stars turning red. Great I made a fairy cry.

“SORRY!!! UWAHHH!!!”

“Stop crying or both of use will get hunted”

And I quickly cover her mouth.

“I will remove my finger but promise me you will not scream ok”

She just nodded at me and I remove my finger on her mouth as she calm herself and start explaining. And from her story, I concluded that she is really a failure one. I pity her but to be one of the lowest in your fairy class, how promising.

Her home is where the world tree is and I get that but to be so lazy and just play tricks to other, quite childish to the extreme that the other older fairy petitioned her to take this guiding job that only successful or chosen fairy and other sprites are allowed to take.

Guess i`m lucky. I feel like i’m also on the verge of destroying something. But my non-existing feeling didn’t show up coz i’m a freaking robot.

“So i`m here stuck with a no-good fairy”

“mmmnnnnhhhh….”

Great she’s gonna cry again. So I quickly pat her head and ruffle her hair by my finger.

“Just don’t coz me trouble and were good. And now better to learn stuff t hat a fairy can learn”

“I’m just got an average score in magic.”

“We have a more or less 12 month so you will learn things so cheer up, okay”

She just nodded. I still have doubt about her better scan her first.

Hhmm… the last time I scan her it’s just her name, race, class and level only. Levelling up traits and abilities does do the trick. But until now I can’t use my NWA, better work hard. After our break I return to my usual hunting spot but I got a new visitor.

Iron drone soldier antDurability250/250Level 3Drone ant that created to protect the hive and travel with the worker class if threat is detected.

Major crap. This is a formidable one for newbies but lucky its only one here. And its size is big as a pig but longer, also that claw and pincher in its mouth is my major problem. I have to retreat for now and find a way to kill it.

“That looks tough. And kind of scary with its claw.”

“It is triple than that ones I hunted last time.”

“So what’s the plan?”

I need to dismantle it or destroy it but I have to get the former for upgrades.

“I need it intact so I have to find a way to disable it.”

Then I remembered than it got sensors in its head so it might be a problem. Then the next threat are those claws, I need to find a ways to evade or at least block one attack then all or nothing. As I see the sky turning red I find a place to sleep and think about my plan.

“Let’s take a rest for now.”

“Then I will return to our kingdom”

“Really? Then how many times you can do that so won’t be surprise when pop up and go.”

“Well we can all do it twice a day but if it was a force spell, then it will a day for us.”

“Can something hurt you?”

“Well, magic will do but if like this that we are guiding everything hurts us and also we are not summoned or contracted by you guys, so yeah everything.”

“Very well then better take care of yourself”

“Okay okay *yawn* i’m sleepy already good night”

Then a magic circle appeared under her the she vanish with it. While i’m back to where I wake up I take some precaution like traps that if its disturbed it make noise. Childish trap but I can’t complain I don’t have money or anything except for myself.

I shut down most of my system but not the scanner and sensors to prevent being attack. After a night of good rest, I strengthen my resolve and waited for Leyla to appear coz I need her for my own safety.

“Morning”

“Good morning”

She looks cheerful today but I just keep shout or she`ll talk nonstop about it. I go back to where we saw that soldier ant yesterday. When I see that it’s alone and no immediate backup.

“Leyla watch the enemy’s movement okay.”

“Okay but please don’t die.”

“I got this.”

I`m soloing so I need to take measure before going in a fight. I revved up my engines and start running from its back and once I got inside its sensor it turned around but I threw my club towards its neck to delay its movement.

As it got distracted, I slammed my hammer towards its left hind legs off balancing it then jump on its back then hammered it neck then connect my right arm tool kit disconnecting its connection towards its hive. Once I saw that its faceplate lights turned down, i`m safe.

“Hurry up, I saw some movement behind you”

I grabbed its neck and start running towards my hiding place.

“This is so thrilling”

“Shut up, I don’t want to be discovered and chased around by bugs you know.”

“Fine, but the hunt is a success.”

“I know but we have to cool down first before hunting again.”

I don’t receive anything in my sensor by I don’t care about that for now. I need to live rather than doubt this good for nothing fairy even though it’s a mischievous one. When nothing got inside my sensors, I start dismantling the ant and take of the important parts.

The face plate was a hit for me coz it improved my old drone scanner and plate. It improves my range by 100m by now its 200m. The sensor also improve to 5m and had additional feature like markings. Next is I disable first my small engine and battery to be replace by much bigger and better parts.

I know that me versus that level 3 ant is laughable but i’m soloing and haven’t been supported by anyone except for my companion. Yeah much better. I feel like I’ve been on spa and distressing session. For the looted claws, from the looks of it I can make a halberd. Quite heavy but not heavy as my bulk hammer.

It was rather easy to create coz I just combine the two claw on its sides, smelt them to stick together then weld it then attached smelted metal that bind it together. I also make the handle to gain a grip so it won’t slip out. For the pinchers, I make it as daggers for addition weapons. And I used most of its part to improve my own part and its much better quality also.

The machinery on its legs don’t par from my wolf legs but I need to replace some parts of it. I even tinker my memory bank, motherboard and chips and replace some or add more circuits to improve my data processing. I’m still wondering how I can improve my core. The ant doesn’t have one, which made me think that I can only improve my core if I defeated a boss type or a special unit.

As I finish my tinkering, I look at my system notification.

Sensor and scanner has been replaceRange has been improved. Scanner trait has been improved and gain additional featureSensor range has improved and gain additional featureEngine and power battery improveEnergy capacity and restoration improveDue to crude blacksmithing, tinker and scavenger had gain additional dataBody construction has been improvedImproving memory capacity, faster processor, motherboard and body part gain additional status

I need to check my stat if I can add my NWA it’s making me itchy to try it.

Guess having high difficulty is also has its own perks, then again I don’t have a real use for wis and int other than tinkering. Maybe I should start researching about stuff to gain more NWA. I’m feel like a cheat but I don’t care coz i’m just testing it and they will also discover it sooner or later. Better take everything while it’s here.
