Chapter 5
-Rinne POV-
There are 5 wolves attacking a girl.
In front, 2 wolves jumped aiming to bite both her arms.
And in that moment there was a wolf behind her to prepare if failure ensued, and then the remaining 2 wolves remained vigilant of the surrounding.
Looking at it, it is a formation that has no flaws, however they couldn’t seize the girl.
The girl side-stepped to the right, and the wolf defenseless in the air had it’s spine smashed by the club on her right hand.
A broking sound resounded as it’s body bended, ignoring the wolf that fell on the ground, and to the other wolf that took some distance away, she threw her club at with a backhand throw.
The club that few straightly hit the foot of the wolf that was running away. The wolf stopped because of the pain in it’s leg, behind it the girl was already there and the wolf was trampled on.
The pitiful wolf turned to polygon pieces as the club was picked up.
The 3 that should have been there to cover for the 2 wolves, in those few seconds, they had no way of stopping the brutality.
As they were still bewildered, a wolf that tried to go around was directly hit by a stone.
The moment it faltered, right before it’s eyes the girl was there, and it’s head was knocked out with the club that was swung downward with 2 hands.
1 died, while the other 2 are on the verge of dying.
The remaining 2 wolves that thought that it was their hunt, in just a moment they are now the one being hunted. Throwing away their hesitation they went on a suicide attack.
A delayed simultaneous charging attack aiming for the body.
The risky attack that even if it was avoided the other one would be able to strike at the evading point, but one of the wolves was knocked down, turned to rubbish by pure violence.
The other remaining one couldn’t stop it’s feet and leaped, being elbow blow unable to move, it was smashed and went into polygons.
「it’s your fault for not going against with 5 of you in the beginning…」
The remaining 3 wolves that lost their ability to move, with gory sounds, the girl massacred them, and as the red polygons flew around she so whispered.
「As always, you sure are out of this world….」
Being shown this ghastly brutal scene by my best friend sukuna, Me, Rinne, gave out a smile of resignation as I looked.

Player Name 《Rinne》
That is my name in this game.
Just to take this name I finished the initial settings faster than everyone and thus my effort was rewarded.
For the first time in 7 years, today is the day I play with Nana.
Even though I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t sleep more with Nana’s smell on the bed, while getting my priorities backward, thanks to me forcing myself to sleep, I feel lightheaded.
I want to try this game with Nana.
No, I want to let Nana play this game.
When I couldn’t hold back this emotion and called her, I didn’t think that Nana just lost her job.
And then, thanking the gods for this luck, I hurried up and started making arrangements in various places.
Thanks to the talks I had already done beforehand, with Nana’s consent, I was finally able to take the time to enjoy the game with Nana.
Seriously, I didn’t really care about her being a pro gamer.
The moment that she decided to game together with me, I was already full of spirit to support her for her entire life.
Just that, even though I suggested it to her, it’s also true that I can’t do special treatment to a normal person during official live streams.
I just had a thought of that to deceive that I had to bring Nana into the VR department, I didn’t really think that deep into it.
Just that, I didn’t only bring Nana into the VR department with just my personal benefit.
Nana is what you would call the incarnation of a 「Real Cheat/」(9: or RL OP)
In the first place her physical ability is not that of a human.
Even if she holds back in her physical assessment she would still have the highest rank.
Regarding her motor skills you could understand it in a glance, if by using her body to do what she wants she has the dexterity to accomplish it.
Her eyesight is about the same as a telescope, and her kinetic vision is out of the norm. Seriously, she has such a cheat spec that you would doubt that she was even a human.
And moreover, her stamina is abnormal.
7 times a week, working for tens of hours everyday, there is no human that could continue that for many years.
And also most of that is either being a waitress or labor. That fatigue is incomparable to deskwork.
Doing it as if nothing, she smiles without showing any exhaustion.
And I am probably the only one that knows the extent of her true ability but, if someone does know, all they could say is impossible.
That was out of topic but, that’s right, if it’s not a strategy game then Nana is extraordinarily good in that game.
Furthermore, One of the aptitudes needed for VR games called 《Reflexes》, is out of this world.
I know about it.
The part that Nana always has to hold back her overly high physical abilities too, and that she also feels stress about it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the end because of all that, She had to work like mad, she had too much stamina after all.
Knowing that, because I wasn’t able to find the method to cancel that in her everyday life, I let her continue her part time job life.
The reason she doesn’t do sports was that she would feel that she cheated with her abnormal abilities, she said it while having those lonely eyes.
But, if it’s this game then, Nana will be able to live freely.
Physical abilities that are decided by numerical values will bring equality.
Having equal groundwork, and right after that will be completed with just two 「Player skill」.
A world where Nana will be able to live freely.
I am convinced that《WorldLive-ONLINE》is a world that will make it possible.
「Today too, let’s play WoLO. Just as I announce before, My RL friend and from now one my coworker, Nana will come」(9: WoLO, abbreviation of world live online, i did my best to do it in english from japanese)
『Here it comes』
『So that time has finally come』
『Such Happiness, Such happiness』
『Omadouma!』(9: I totally don’t get what this means)
『Regular live streaming not videos』
The number of viewers waiting before I started streaming was over 10,000 but, right now it jumped up near to 50,000.
Though normally there would be about 30,000 but, as expected it’s probably because today’s topic is different.
Today is the day that I waited, A date——which is not,but the time to play a game with Nana.
It also works as a debut too, since I promised to guide her around the town, and planned to be just a diligent live streaming.
Getting a bit happy from the flood of comments, I’ll put up a precaution just in case.
「The fact that she is my friend, and the fact that she has not appeared until now, well you guys have a lot you want to say but. Her skill is the real thing, I put my own seal of approval to it. And other than that, look at it with your eyes with today’s stream」
『UUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO』
『Are you going to do power leveling?』
『I guess, we just gotta find out huh』
『Just like an expert』
『I hope it’s not just favoritism』
『Is Nana a girl?』
「I won’t do power leveling. There is no need after all. Nana’s gender is….ah, there’s mail. looks likes she is already at the plaza」
『So she already finished her initial settings』
『That was fast』
『If it’s Rinne’s friend then didn’t they already decided on their build』
『But it takes time to make your game avatar you know』
『Maybe they didn’t have to do it』
『Didn’t Rinne herself quickly finished the initial settings to get her name』
In the swarm of comments, I picked up the interesting ones.
The stream comment section is the window that only appears in my field of vision.
Players who have gotten permission to live stream, they have this kind of feature added, there is a floating gem around the player as they are streaming at the same time to show who is streaming.
The focus only reaches about a few meters of the player in a radius, if they go out of the bounds then their face wouldn’t be recognized.
That’s why, if there is a player who wants to hide something from the live streamer, all they have to do is move away from the player a bit.
There is also a setting to perfectly hide the player, in the worst case they can do that.
Well, it would become a stream where the people are in mosaic, but it should protect their privacy.
However, it’s only been 10 minutes since the service for the second wave has started.
You could see players from the second wave teleporting here and there but, it is still fast.
As I parade through the town’s fountain plaza searching for Nana, I suddenly find a black haired ogre tribe.
There is no mistake. That is Nana. After all her Avatar is the same as in the Real world…..
I told her that she shouldn’t really tamper her avatar much as a streamer but, it looks like the netiquette that I taught Nana didn’t really stay much in her head.
「it’s that black hair ogre tribe girl right there. Nana!」
「Rin-chan! Waah, that’s some cool equipment」
「Well, if you have two weeks then it should be enough. Nana, your PN is?」 (9: PN, player name)
「Sukuna. After all it’s an important name that Rin-chan gave me」
「Wha…I-I see. Well, I’m also Rinne in this game, so you can keep calling me that」
『Cute』
『Cute』
『A cutie』
『Rin-chan lol』
『Rinne is rin….rofl』
『Sukuna-chan hshs』
『Rinnana so precious…..』
『Isn’t it Rinsuku?』
『An important name…..A flash of an idea came to me』
「I’ll ban those who laughed okay?」
『hiiiie』
『hiiiie』
『hiiiie』
『hiiiie』
「And so-…… She is Nana, Aka Sukuna」
「Okay, is this round thing the camera? I’m Sukuna, I’m a newcomer but please take care of me」
「She has the live stream permission so, tomorrow she can live stream by herself too」
『Nice to meet you』
『Nice to meet you』
『Nice to meet ya』
『Please to meet you』
『Compared to Rin-chan, she smaller in various places』
『The politeness is plus points for me』
『Black haired ogre girl….so good….』
『This girl’s initial equipment is a club, are you real』
『It really is lol』
『A club for ogres』
『It’s supposed to be metal clubs』
The one she has is, well it’s not bad i guess.
Though, she really did choose a club.
Before she began she said, “Since it’s easy to use, maybe a club~?”
Clubs have high durability and the attack damage is high too but the image is not that good.
A club in this fantasy what’s with that?, there were a lot of opinions like this, honestly, this weapon is not that popular.
But in reality, it’s stats are the same as the sword, just a different attack type.
「For now, let’s go hunting. If it gets too crowded it would be hard to find monsters spawning」
「okay」
「Regarding the Town of beginning, I’ll talk about it as we walk」
『how relaxing』
『It’s like they are sisters』
『It’s more like Master and her student』
『I guess their equipment are too different』
『Rinne that is the south gate you know』
『Wasn’t the requirement for the south gate lv 6?』
『The wolf are too strong』
I told them I won’t do power leveling,
Honestly, If I just weaken it and have Sukuna finish them off, that’s not really fun.
Just that, to show the viewer’s Sukuna’s abilities, I thought that the south is the best place for it.
The Town of Beginning has gates for East, West, North, and South. There are grassy fields that have different ecosystems.
For example the North’s difficulty is low, a rather calm plain with non active small fries called 《Boar》 is gathered there, and at the east is a bit dangerous field with a rabbit with horns jumping around called 《Horn Rabbi》.
The north plains connect to the next town, and depending on the road there is also a dungeon.
And after the south plains, there is a wide area dungeon called 《Forest of the Edge》, as a stage it’s a dead end.
Just that, there is a wide difference of level from the small-fry’s from other gates.
Basically, the wolf monsters called 《Wolf》are strong. and also, even though they are strong by themselves they team up.
「Then, We will begin hunting now. I won’t help out. Sukuna, it’s okay to fight freely」
「Roger. Rin-chan, does the stone used for the throwing, is it fine to use those on the ground?」
「They don’t really have that much attack damage, but they do」
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm「Imma pick some up」
『Stone picking』
『She has the throwing skill?』
『So blunt weapon and throwing is it』
『It’s not like those are landmines but it’s rare』
『Blunt weapons are good, you know. Just that the appearance of the initial equipment isn’t that good 』
『Though, seriously, are they planning to go hunting at the south?』
『On first day Rinne came here, she was raging mad』
『Raging(expressionlessly barraging magic )』
『That was traumatic』
Looking over Sukuna that was walking while gathering up stones, from the center of the plains, I could see the mobs.
The plains’ leading powerhouse, the 《wolf》.
「Sukuna, right in fro-」
「Yeah, I see it」
As expected, I should say.
Detecting the enemy way faster than me, she went before me as if protecting me.
The wolfs’ level is randomly from 3 to 5. The wolf before us is 4, so in the middle in regards strength.
The wolf’s specialty is that they are fast and have high damage.
In exchange for being weak to being hit, they are specialized in attacking, to the modern japanese who aren’t used to fast beasts, they are rather avoided by the beginners.
In regards to the wolf charging straight, Sukuna took a throwing posture.
Holding the stone in a throwing position, she activated the skill calmly.
「《Shoot》」
The flying stone with the shine of the skill, without any deviations it directly hit the brow of the wolf, lightly damaging its HP.
However, what was fatal to the wolf was not the damage, but the fact that it had faltered and slowed down it’s movement.
Facing the wolf that was already getting closer to Sukuna she ran to it, the club that was there before I knew was waved as they passed each other.
It might have slowed down but it was still rather fast, and with a running strike and the damage of the club, like a traffic accident the wolf was sent flying backwards.
Bouncing on the ground many times and when it tried to stand up, it was already when the next attack swung downwards to it.
The wolf shook from being hit on the crown of it’s head, and then once again to the crown of it’s head without deviations.
「《Strike》」
With the blunt sounds hitting the crown of its head, after that she used her skill and strike down with both hands hitting directly, the wolf lost it’s life and turned into polygons. (9: polygoned)
「Phew…..oh, I leveled up」
I was bewildered to see Sukuna’s figure smiling really happy but, the atmosphere in the comment section had gone cold.
『Hiiie』
『Are you kidding me?』
『So much brutality』
『Being hit in the face and the it’s head hit 5 times….』
『Before that the fact that the throw hit was amazing. That was absolutely on her PS』(9: PS, player skill)
『It’s an ogre』
『it’s the ogre tribe so basically an ogre』
『It’s not the movement of a level 1』
Brutal
It was summed up to that one word.
It was not a fight to defeat the monster, but a fight to kill a wolf.
Rather than being scared, she was having fun.
「Rin-chan, I leveled up」
「Y-yeah. Congratulations. Have you decided on your stat point distribution?」
「half each for strength and dexterity, and the others still the same」
「I see…Is it still hard to move?」
「Well, yeah. Though with this looks like I can easily go back into my rhythm so it’s alright 」
With a low leveled avatar, Sukuna’s ability compared to the RL world, their difference is still large.
To cover that it looks like she is going to raise her dexterity.
In this game, dexterity is very important after all.
「How was it, viewers? This is Nana. You would want to put your expectations on her right?」
『It was a movement of a beast』
『Even though you say that it’s just one wolf』
『With this level then, I felt the potential in her』
There were negative comments from the comment sections but, after seeing her sweep the floor with the 5 wolves that appeared, all of them had no choice but to accept it.
