Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

And there she was, my glorious goat! I used to live in the countryside when I was a little girl since my parents lived in the house of my grandparents.

It was only when I grew up that I ended up moving to the city with my husband. But back then? I always played around with the animals we had there on our own little farm.

We had chicken, ducks, gooses, cows, and goats, and they were all lovely, I loved them all! But I always ended up sad when one of them suddenly disappeared… I was very stupid back then, so it took me a while to learn that my grandpa killed them so we could eat them…

It was a harsh truth I learned when I was a little girl, and for some time I hated my grandfather for doing that, but ultimately, I ended up giving up. I decided to not grow more attached to the farm animals because I understood my grandfather and knew that it was his way of living.

I loved him, and knew that hating him over that was just very immature.

Nonetheless, I was never able to take the life of one of those farm animals myself, even when my grandfather wanted me to do it so I would lose the "fear" I had for it… but deep inside I just wished that we didn't have to kill animals to eat them.

I guess I have changed from back then, it was just some stupid thoughts that any children would have… Nonetheless, as I saw how there was a cute goat at my side, I couldn't help but have my heart melted by her beautiful and fluffy appearance. I wanted to pet her head and walk around with her, and feed her grass, and cuddle with her like I used to do with the goats in the farm… They always used to lick my face.

I was very happy.

But… this girl… She was not stopping her screams!! She was screaming way too loudly! What's wrong with her? Was my goat a bad one? Was the summon a failure? Is she bugged?

"MEEE!"

"W-What's wrong? Ah, a name? Belle! I name you Belle! Like… the little goat I once had…"

[The name [Belle] has been assigned to the [White Goat]

"Mee…"

Belle suddenly calmed herself. Was she desperately asking me for a name? Did she had to be so loud? Now dozens of mushrooms are walking towards us!

Crap!

"L-Lady Planta, this is bad! The mushrooms hate loud sounds… They're coming for us, we ended up enraging them!" cried Acorn.

"I am well aware of that! L-Let's go, come!" I said.

I grabbed Acorn with my hands and then jumped over Belle's back.

"Meee!"

Belle didn't seem to mind, as I asked her to run.

"Run! Belle! Run!"

"MEEE!"

However, she didn't run in the direction I wanted to. She moved to the other side and charged at the mushrooms! What?! What was wrong with her?!

"MEEE!"

Suddenly, Belle's eyes turned red, and her horns glowed brightly with Mana. She suddenly pointed her horns at the upcoming mushrooms of various colors, and hit them all with her horns and blew them away!

CLAAASH!

"W-What the heck is going on?!" cried Acorn. "Your Goat summon is blowing away all the mushrooms! S-She's awesome!"

"W-What the…?! She indeed had a lot of Strength, but this is ridiculous! Why is your goat so insane?!" asked the guide. "A-AH… It must be the randomizer… Summons have randomized natures… And her hidden nature is… EH?! WARMONGER?!"

"W-Warmonger you said? Why is that even a nature?!" I asked. "These game developers are way too crazy with their choices sometimes!"

"For the first time ever, I agree with you!" said the guide.

"MEEEE!"

Belle continued to run around the mushroom canopy. Her hoofs left large marks over the mushroom caps we stood on, as she pushed all the mushrooms away with her horns. Most of them already had half their health depleted, and the smallest and low level ones already began to die…

CLASH!

Ding!

"MEEEE!"

Belle rammed at the Mushrooms even as her MP went down to zero after she drained it all in her Horn Attack and Charge Skills. This time, she only used her sheer strength and slammed at the slow mushrooms so fast that they couldn't even release spores to defend themselves

CLAAASH!

And then, Belle suddenly glanced at a purple-colored mushroom, and charged at it angrily!

"W-Wait! That one is poisonous!" I cried. My Belle didn't stop so I pointed my hands at the mushroom and fired several thorns at it in quick succession.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Gryeee…!"

The mushroom was hit three times by my Thorn Bullets, as I call them, and quickly died on the spot! Wow, did I just get way stronger after leveling up to just Level 2? Well, my bullets already did 30 damage, and the mushroom was strong but weak in HP, so it had 100 HP… my bullets now did 35 damage, enough for three bullets to finish it off.

Amazing…

[You defeated a [Walking Spiky Purple Mushroom: Lv3]!]

[You gained 350 EXP]

[You gained 55 Gold]

[You acquired the [Spiky Purple Mushroom] x1 and [Poisonous Mushroom] x1 items!]

Belle angrily hit the mushroom corpse away before it could even turn into light and angrily tore it apart into shreds! What? Why did you do that! Bad goat!

"S-Stop already, Belle, all the mushrooms are escaping now!"

"MEEEE!"

However, Belle was a bloodthirsty goat, she chased down the mushrooms that were on the verge of death and began to jump over them. Shecrushed them into the ground and tore them apart with her sharp hoofs.

CLASH! BOOM! CRASH!

[You defeated a [Small Orange Walking Mushroom: Lv1]!]

[You defeated a [Big Orange Walking Mushroom: Lv2]!]

[You defeated a [Gray Walking Mushroom: Lv2]!]

[You defeated a [Giant Red Walking Mushroom: Lv3]!]

…

She did the same with every single one of the mushrooms, which were all weakened. Meanwhile the ones at full health jumped away from the mushroom canopy and just escaped her fury!

[Conditions have been met, Belle has increased to Level 2 and learned the [Berserk Mode: Lv1] Skill]

"What is this ridiculousness?! You learned a Skill by leveling up! Ah… I guess that's how it works for summons?" I wondered.

"MEEEE!"

Belle answered me angrily, as she suddenly crushed a large purple mushroom that was half-dying on the ground.

[You defeated a [Walking Spiky Purple Mushroom: Lv3]!]

[You gained 350 EXP]

[You gained 55 Gold]

[You acquired the [Spiky Purple Mushroom] x1 and [Poisonous Mushroom] x1 items!]

"Agh, Belle! Please stop already, I am getting dizzy!" I cried.

"MEEE!"

However, Belle was utterly insane. I felt like she was the reincarnation of some sort of demon god or something, because she was just going completely insane. And after she leveled to level 2, she gained a new Skill that only helped her get angrier.

She suddenly exuded a red aura from her body, and she charged at the last mushrooms around and crushed them down into pieces and used her horn attack repeatedly now that she regained her MP after leveling.

"MEE!"

BOOOM!!!

She suddenly jumped high into the air which made me feel like throwing up the food I had for lunch. Belle then fell like a meteor and stomped over three different mushrooms, which even had a poisonous one included in the menu. She crashed so strongly that the mushroom cap serving as floor broke apart and we ended up falling over the ground below.

"Uuuuaaaagghh!"

"Woooaaaah! This is crazy!" cried Acorn. Unlike me he seemed to have enjoyed the thrill.

CLAAAAAASH!

…

When I opened my eyes, I found myself over the forest floor. My HP had gone all the way down to 10, but it was slowly regenerating… I looked around and found Acorn, he was safe as he fell over me. And Belle… was on the floor eating grass as if nothing happened.

"Mee~"

"Don't mee~ me! You were way too crazy! What was all that about?" I asked Belle.

"Meee…."

Belle didn't seem to care about what I was saying, as she began to lick my hand…

"Aww… But still! Why did you go so insane over there, girl?" I sighed.

Belle continued licking my hand and then she waved her tiny tail around happily. She seemed so innocent and cute, a complete opposite from the total warmonger she was a few seconds ago.

"T-This is crazy… I never thought a summon could… be so aggressive… She… she just killed things using sheer anger…" sighed the guide. "I have to report this to the developers…"

"Don't! I like her that way… Even if she's crazy, she can do all the killing for me, right?" I sighed. "I-It is better that way… I guess…"

I had realized that Belle had an amazing potential, this girl could truly become a strong companion for me and Acorn.

I slowly crawled towards Acorn and woke him up. It was already getting dark so we had to move back to the village and let him rest inside of his home.

"Uwah! Eh? What happened?" he wondered.

"Erm… Well, my summon went berserk… At least we managed to kill the five purple mushrooms, and look, I leveled to level 3! What about you?" I asked.

"I-I also leveled up… I guess I got shared EXP…" he said. "Your summon is amazing, Lady Dryad… But I thought Dryads would summon things like plant monsters… Not… an angry goat."

"Ahahah… T-This is… well, it is what it is…" I sighed.

"Right…"

Acorn stood up and brushed off the dirt on his clothes.

"Belle, come here," I said.

"Mee!"

Belle walked to our side obediently.

"Can you go there?" I asked as I showed her the Mini Map and marked the village there.

"Mee!"

She seemed to be able to, so we rode her once more, and she began to run towards the village at a great speed, which was quite a surprise…

I had leveled to level 3, but I wanted to leave the assessing of Stat Points for later. I got a bunch of items too, but I want to check them tomorrow as well since I was actually quite tired and I wanted to sleep.

"Well, here we are."

Belle brought us to the village at an amazing speed then she suddenly sat down in the grass, seemingly a bit tired. Nonetheless, her Satiation bar was still quite high, she had eaten a lot of grass which seemed to be her preferred food, so she was able to fend for herself quite well as well. It seemed like summons were more independent than tamed monsters that seemed to require more care.

"Here are the purple mushroom items, I wrapped them around a bag, keep them for now, Acorn," I said.

"Thank you, miss. Do you want to stay the night at my hut?" asked the little squirrel.

"Erm… No, I am going out for now, so wait for me tomorrow in the morning," I said.

"Okay then, thank you very much for everything, Lady Dryad," he said. "And thanks to you too, Belle!" Acorn petted Belle, as she licked his face.

SLURP…

"Ueeggh…"

Like that, I decided to log off. Belle seems to remain in the world if I log out, which actually seemed rather weird, but it appeared that you could leave a summon and make them do stuff for you… So I left her with the task of protecting Acorn while I was off.

When I opened my eyes again, I was inside of my house, rather tired from the small adventure there. I decided to go make myself some instant noodles and then I slept.

I really missed my daughter…
