After the tutorial ends, one of the heroines will appear to continue the game's story. An interesting fact about this is that if the player was really bad or intentionally took fifteen minutes to kill the fake Beranoth, she would appear, and a short animation would occur where she cuts Beranoth in two.

The only disadvantage of this situation is that she would see him as weak, making her one of the most difficult to increase friendship levels with and unlock encounters where the character talks more about his story.

For this reason, I decided to change things up a bit. The existence of the protagonist is very ambiguous, so I don't see a problem in making things easier for myself.

About a kilometer away, a girl with long and silky hair, as black as the night, wearing a high ponytail hairstyle, exposing her oval face. Her eyes were an intense lilac, like the color of lavender flowers on a sunny morning. Behind her, her short sword gleamed in the sunlight, attached to a wide leather belt that adorned her short and tight skirt.

Details could be seen in her clothing that accentuated her sensuality and beauty while offering freedom of movement. The tight leather corset had thin straps and a deep V-neckline, revealing a bit of skin and highlighting her breasts. Her short and tight skirt, made of sturdy leather, had a deep side slit that exposed her sculpted legs.

She ran towards the city where Beranoth was causing chaos.

"Why? Why did they decide to attack such a small city with their problems? They talk and talk, and in the end, they just attack the weakest."

As the girl approached the city, a feeling of unease washed over her. The main gate, once majestic, now lay in pieces on the ground, its wooden planks shattered as if crushed by a giant.

What followed was a scene of complete devastation. The once prosperous and bustling city now lay in ruins, its buildings collapsed and engulfed in flames. The remains of the unfortunate ones who were near the entrance now lay as mere corpses scattered on the ground.

A chilling silence enveloped the place, only interrupted by the sound of the city's remnants being dragged by the wind. The girl continued to walk cautiously, observing every detail of the scene of destruction. Her footsteps echoed on the ground as she wondered how something like this could have happened.

"There should have been a huge creature here, because the message they sent me on the way was that most people managed to reach the next city."

As the girl walked, she couldn't help but cover her nose due to the strong stench lingering in the air. Shortly after, on her journey, she heard a loud snoring coming from somewhere nearby.

' There are really brave people around here, ' she thought to herself.

Curious to know who was responsible for the snoring, the girl ran in its direction, ready to give a lecture. But when she arrived there, she found an unexpected scene: the creature she was supposed to have killed was lying on the ground, lifeless, while a man slept peacefully beside it.

The sword he wielded was worn, with less than half of the blade remaining, but it seemed to have been enough to defeat the creature.

"Incredible," the girl murmured to herself, impressed by the man's skill.

[Due to a much higher success than expected in the first impression about you, the friendship level will increase three times faster.]

' Who wouldn't be impressed by someone who killed a Boss with the weakest weapon in the game in such a deplorable state? ' I thought as I pretended to wake up and opened my eyes fully. I was face to face with Freytan, the character that cost me a small fortune in the real world, around three thousand dollars, to maximize her attributes. Even though luck betrayed me that day, I still feel depressed when I remember it.

"So, I'm the person who was supposed to help kill this beast, right?" she asked, her voice soft and melodious.

"Yes, you should," I replied, trying to maintain composure.

"I apologize for being late."

"But I'm surprised I've never heard of you before," she continued, her curious eyes fixed on me.

I couldn't help but smile internally at hearing that.

' Wow, she's even more stunning than I imagined ' I thought as I observed her. ' I should apologize to that unknown entity. '

"Don't worry about it. I'm the guild master here and I tend to be quite reserved. I can say that you are the first person in a long time who made me speak so much."

She seemed radiant with the compliment I had given her. But then her expression changed when I mentioned the ruined city.

"So I should feel honored and sad that your city ended up like this so that we can meet," she said, her voice filled with melancholy as she remembered her past.

I felt a twinge in my chest from the pain those words caused her.

Walking up to Freytan, I extended my hand towards her with a gentle smile.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dantalian Lancaster-Steele. It's a pleasure to meet you. Why don't we talk more about what we can do with this pile of flesh?"

Freytan sighed softly, but her smile remained on her face as she shook my hand.

"The pleasure is all mine. My name is Freytan Lavoie-Gauthier."

As I extended my hand to Freytan, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. I knew she was one of the top swordswomen in the entire game, even among all the nations. Her place among the top ten strongest was undisputed, and her sword skills were truly inspiring. But still, I was aware that as a character in a gacha game, she would eventually become obsolete. However, I was certain that her true strength was something that went beyond what could be seen or measured, something that would transcend the limitations imposed by the game.

After all, the story itself speaks of it in a specific part:

' The swordsman whose evolution is marked by every movement with unmatched mastery. '
