Chapter 8

Tell me Suzu, how do you like New World Online so far?

Why are you asking this now?

Well, because we have time now and of course I'm here to collect how you like the game.

Ok I like the game very much so far.

Any other comments about the game.

Mai let me ask you a question.

Mai turns around and looks at the air, but continues to walk.

OK what kind of question is that.

Ok you are a system and you may not know it but... what's the point of not asking after 15 minutes how you like the game, you can maybe ask someone for their first impression.

Yes ok i got it.

And I have one more question.

Yes and that is.

How far is Xer's path because it is only one day's journey away but on the other side of the map.

Ok that's your question let me think... the map is exactly 1500 square kilometers.

We are supposed to run 1500 square kilometers in one day how are we supposed to do that.

You can walk or not then go and don't stop and step on the gas.

Yes, I understand, I can run, but you can't fly so fast.

Yes I can but I don't feel like it. You have to run faster.

Yes I don't have that much endurance yet so I can't run that fast for that long..got it!

Yeah, you don't have to yell.

She turns around and says... Nothing, she just turns around and flies on.

After 10 hours I think we arrived at the tower of the gods.

So this is the tower of the gods.

I look up and the tower reaches the sky. I ask.

Is it really only 50 levels, not more, it is so high.

Yes, it's only 50 levels and it's supposed to be high because you're supposed to talk to the gods at the top.

Really crass.

Yes or but unfortunately you can't go in yet so just keep walking yes.

I just turn around and an arrow flies very close to my head.

Where did that come from? Mai asks.

I immediately get my sword out of the inventory and go into battle stance.

I don't know if I'm standing right, but in movies or manga they always stand like that when they're attacked.

With the swert you want to attack me that I do not laugh the swert goes but immediately kaput.

Just let us kill you and then start again. Says another who runs out of the forest behind the other.

The tower is in a clearing.

Ok mai what should we do now i am not so good at fighting yet.

You'll be fine, I'll just watch you from up here.

Mai flies a bit into the air and sits down there.

What is this?

Tell me, who are you talking to? There is nobody here.
