A Certain Middle-aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log

Chapter 61



Is that Andre?

I timidly try asking; its right after the battle, so my wariness isnt fading.

Aa, its me, though originally I wasnt supposed to be able to have time to talk to you now. Since you were able to defeat the Skeleton Knight before my soul disappeared, I obtained just a little bit more time.

Im not sure how hes talking while just the cranium part of the skull, but what a cheery sounding voice.

I see, I, was this enough to fulfill your wishes?

Yes, when I began to ask that, hekerakeracheerfully laughed, and then,

Aa, more than enough, youve fulfilled it more than enough. It is thanks to you twisting my fate that the long years I would spend as a monster wont be, and above all, you took notice of me, and so, its enough.

From now one hes going to be vanishing, and yet he responds with such light-hearted words.

Come to think of it, this way of speaking is how you originally spoke, huh?

The heavy and awkward image I had of him before this meeting was completely blown away.

Aa, thats true, at that time I had given myself to despair; though I couldnt do anything but entrust my hopes to you, I didnt have much expectation.

He said something rather contemptiblenaa

So sorry, I just managed to struggle through, so tough it out.

Again, the Andre that was only a cranium laughedkerakera. His appearance is ghastly, but you can kind of see his charm.

Id like to talk like this some more, but that time seems to be drawing near; this will be my last words, so please listen.

To this I obediently gave a nod in response.

I am giving you that sword stuck in the ground over there; on top of the long years it has undergone, there are also probably no fragments of magic left in it, but as an antique, if you sell it, then it will become some money. Im sorry that my expression of gratitude is far too little, but other than that I have nothing I can give you.

To that, I returned a I get it, Ill take it without reserve.

And you said, In this world god doesnt exist, but I believe there is a god I mean, right? I have this kind of appearance, but my both my body and heart were stopped from becoming a monster. And now I can face my old comrades and return to them Aa, Lola, Gavin, Deckson, Milena, Rock youve been waiting, youve really been waiting I can finally go to the same place everyone else is.

So saying, like he thought, the skull slowly disappeared.

Andre, I have a last request too.

From Andres fading skull came a weak voice seeming to respond, What is it?

A humans lifespan really passes in the blink of an eye. And so, Id like you to prepare me the best special spot on that side, and dont forget good wine. If you say theres a god, then he should be able to give that much accommodation.

And then, to the man who heard it, I couldnt hear his reply; already, Andres skull had completely crumbled; it was gone. With this, I assume that mans long battle had come to an end; I went to the sword he had spoke of and took it in my hand.

An Ancient Knights Knight Sword

In a distant age, it is a Knight Sword that only a high-ranking knight of a flourishing empire was allowed to bear. However, the long years have taken their toll and it no longer has any value other than being an antique. It has been considerably abused, and many scars and cracks can be seen.

Atk +120, If you attack just once and manage to hit and do damage, it will disappear

With the sword in hand, I was lost in deep thought, when all of a sudden Urgent Information flooded through the entire server; the contents are as follows:

Urgent Information

To all players, at this time, for continuing to enjoy One More * Freelife Online, we thank you very much.

At this moment, we have confirmed that the crushing of one of Secret Bosses from the Challenge from the Deads event has been completed.

As a result, at this moment a weapon category, [Knight Sword], has been added; Knight Sword is One-Handed Swords advancement; its weight is increased greater than one-handed swords, but its might and length are the strengths that this weapon carries; for the full details, please wait for our official homepage to be updated.

I repeat

In other words, this events achievements are to figure out the conditions to give players new weapons. If thats the case I bet there has to be others, the defeat a Secret Boss and unlock new categories mechanism; I have expectations.

Im pretty tired, but Ill anonymously upload the conditions for meeting the Secret Boss on the forums and log out, and then go to sleep.

Several days later I looked at the forums; before meeting the boss it was terrible, but the boss itself was easy or the boss was way too weak and the like were uploaded in droves; I had that hard of a time defeating him, and everyone else is treating them like grunt mobs though, the fact that he had an invisible head was a superfluous addition that was conveyed

The beginning of the next days log in. Right now Im in the forge, but

No good, huh this guy was destroyed in place of me too sorry.

Both the Secret Light Metal Shield and the Triangle Blade have damage percentages surpassing 90%. Since it was completely damaged, it avoided being destroyed, but repairs have already become impossible for both; for a weapon, its already death.

Even though it hasnt been much time since the Secret Light Metal Shield was born, it took a direct blow from the Skeleton Knights Knight Sword, and without using Arts, so but, if this guy wasnt able to barely withstand it I would have lost; after giving it my thanks, the shield and whip together entered the forge to be returned back to ingots. After youve been changed into a different form, lets battle together again.

While removing the impurities, I turned them into ingots once again; its an amount thats just enough for 1 portion to somehow make a small shield. With that ingot I made a Small Shield and equipped it to my right hand. Theres no trick or anything, its just a small shield, but it cant be helped at the moment.

Due to the effects of the large amounts of blacksmiths mining in mines, were in the middle of a depletion. It will take some time before you can dig out new ores, and even if it its restored, I guess you wont be able to dig out mountains of ore like before.

For the whip, I bought a Rosethorn Whip from an NPC seller; Ill use this for now.

Felling trees for wood to repair my bow and restock my arrows, leaving my Wolf Leather armor to an armor craftsmen for repairs, putting all my power into making a mound of food after a long time lets also try thinking up of new dishes.

And so like this, for the present, fighting all by myself has been put on break.

His second name from other players is The Fairy Queens Husband-san

Status Abnormality: Maximum MP is at 60%

A/N: 2 of the ridiculous weapons have now been eliminated here.

is strong, but the backlash from the failure, as well as the shield taking damage without using Arts, can be said to be disastrous.

The story was a little short, but thats all for today.
