Pretty sure I said you can't do that. Refer to this post. I thought you were joking at the time.

As to those who posted a few cash items suggestion more than a few items a page or two earlier. I didn't forget about you. I'll look them over later. I was pretty busy these last few days. Once I'm back, I'll add them to the cash shop with an appropriate price tag.

@kelgar04 is on a vacation and so he's not going to proofread this update and probably the next one as well. Perhaps even the one after.

You decide that you like the Wushu uniform. Not only does it look good but you tried to stand upside-down and the skirt didn't fall down, it protected your privacy. A physic-defying skirt is always a good thing to have and it seems like the shitty devs seem to have thought of everything apparently. That's nice of them, you suppose.

"Okay, you guys are ready? I don't want to wait any longer," you try to say cheerfully but it doesn't sound quite right as you stifle a yawn before it comes out.

"Let's go." "I am ready!" "Sure, thing!" you hear your comrade's collective replies.

Good, you want to get this over with already before you fall asleep in game. You're just going to play for an hour at least before dropping out and just falling like a rock on your bed. With your new budget, you could buy an even better bed now maybe one with engineered silk that's soft beyond mortal comprehension or one with a neural interface which aids in getting a good nights sleep. You're not sure if it is just your sleep-deprived mind talking but something has been bugging you recently and you just want to ask them it, though in hindsight It probably came from your recent introspection as to what you could become.

"Hey? Who are you guys like in real life?" you ask suddenly as you're walking down a relatively empty street in the city. Everyone pauses and they're all quiet. Just as you're about to worry you said something wrong, Nofuku, surprisingly is the one to speak up.

"What brought on that sudden question?" she asks neutrally.

You answer almost immediately and honestly, "I'm curious," as you tilted your head slightly to the side.

You then feel a sudden weight on your back. It's Yaoi-chan who just tackled you, albeit gently this time so that you don't stumble forward.

"Don't worry guys. I don't think Storm-chan," Yaoi-chan said gently to everyone. Wait, what? Storm-chan? Is everyone going to adopt that shortened version of your username? Okay, well. You did the same for her so you can't really say anything, "mean anything bad by it with her question. It's probably a gaijin thing. In Japan, it's a taboo thing to speak about one's personal life online." she explains to you and you just scratch your head confusedly.

Don't they have social networks in the east? Well, as a show of good faith, you'll tell them about yourself for a bit then.

"Well, I guess I'll tell you a bit about myself first then. I'm a US citizen, more precisely I'm from Texas, Houston. I'm just a normal person in her twenties. I'm currently working as a model and an actress," you say with a slight hint of pride in your voice you can't quite hide.

"I guess you must be pretty then," you hear Nofuku grumble under her breath but you chose to ignore it.

"Whoaaa! That's so cool, Storm-chan!" Yaoi-chan speaks up excitedly and it just kind of warms your heart to hear that "I guess it's my turn to introduce myself then! I am a 16-year-old high schooler in Japan, Tokyo. I go to a really big only-girl school that my parents wanted me to go to. I hope I can become a nurse in the future!" she presents herself rather cutely and you're rather surprised to hear that.

You really shouldn't be surprised at her age, though is it really fine for her to be on an 18-restricted game? Anyway, It seems your own presentation was the one that broke the ice. You all turn to look at Yasu-bud who shrugs nonchalantly.

"I'm Japanese too, I live in the Okinawa prefecture, in Ishigaki. I'm just an office worker in his thirties. Nothing really special," he explains in his usual calm and bored voice.

You're a bit disappointed. You expected much more from him but really, they're just normal people. What did you expect? The one left was Nofuku who was awkwardly rubbing her arm uncomfortable at the sudden attention.

"I... I am no one special really," she then looks at the grounds and clams up.

You all wait for her to say more but she doesn't, the sudden silence makes her shrink into herself even more. Well, this is awkward just when you got them to open up, Nofuku gotta go ruin it. You decide to save her ass.

"Really, guys?" you say, "you've known each other for years and you didn't even present yourself beyond just your usernames?"

Really, Westerners don't share information about themselves like that just after a week or two - despite a lot of them tending to think like that. You just wanted to jump the gun and get to know them better and it worked. You think you're a little closer to your friends now. Well apart from Nofuku. But still, even Westerners with online friends do share some information about their personal life if they've known each other for years. That's a pretty much a given. (I had some trouble this one I've replaced "to" with "do" what do you think?)

"It's just cultural differences, StormDoom-san. Don't dwell too much on it," Yasu-bud explains and you heed his advice.

During the walk to the quest-giver area, Yaoi-chan pestered you a lot about what is your job like. You try to act like you're an experienced model and actress. You'd rather not say that you've just done your first day... well, today! Yasu-bud is somewhat silent with just a few comments of his own thrown in. While Nofuku is outright silent and you feel like she's barely in the group right now. Did you just unintentionally exclude her? You're not to sure if you did.

You're not really an expert on these kinds of things so you don't really pay it too much mind. You spend the rest of your time just playing and enjoying the game with Yasu-bud and Yaoi-chan. You didn't really grind too much since you only played for an hour. You managed to level up four times, though! That's pretty nice! You don't really look at your choices right now since you're too tired. You'll decide next morning.

What do you do in your next session?

[] GRIND AGAIN.

[] Find some pretty big extermination quest to do with your friends.

[] Go directly to the Branch of the World Tree. (Divine Blood Star Quest)
-[] Get your friends to go along with you.

[] Go to the South-East, you heard that there were some pretty heavy PvP areas there and in the edges of it, it was pretty light and good enough for rookies. You can try your luck.
-[] Do some side-quests along the way.
-[] Get your friends to go along with you.
(Note: That area is across the massive lake in the middle of the continent. It's near the city of Voslka, you can look up the map for reference.)
