"Wow, this is equivalent to adding dozens of attribute points to me. Even without health potions, the limb-splitting nobles can still slaughter them like crazy."

Zicomo tidied his gear and headed out towards the location of the limb-splitting nobles.

Chapter Three: The Real Game World, An Unconventional Manifestation

Upon arriving at the statue of Queen Marika, the limb-splitting nobles descended from the sky.

Looking at the four-legged, three-armed monster before him, resembling a giant spider, Zicomo raised his hand and unleashed a blast of Radiant Stone Shards.

Then they started flying the kite and moving around.

His initial mana allows him to cast 15 Radiant Stones, plus the spell has a targeting function.

In the process of dodging, Zicomo had already taken away nearly half of the limb-splitting nobleman's health.

Seeing that his magic was exhausted, Zicomo switched to his short sword, timed the moment when the boss was stunned after attacking, and struck with his sword.

His 30 points in constitution make his physical attacks stronger than his magical attacks. This sword strike dealt twice the damage to the limbed nobleman as a magical attack.

Seeing such damage, Zicomo stopped dodging and launched a flanking attack on the limb noble.

The weakness damage triples again, so rush in and unleash a flurry of attacks while the boss is stunned.

The aristocrat with the extended limb collapsed on the spot, seemingly muttering, "Despicable faders!"

Pick up the boss's drops: a ceremonial straight sword and a golden shield with animal patterns.

Zicomo looked around and suddenly realized a problem: how could he get out of here?

The portal to the Royal Palace is located in the four-bell tower on the east side of Lake Lienia; later on, you'll rely entirely on teleportation to get there.

Zicomo wandered around helplessly, but when he reached the edge of a cliff, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open.

Zicomo lost consciousness in the weightlessness, and while unconscious, he vaguely heard the wooden Melina talking to Torret.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the cave where I was studying.

Zicomo glanced at the hole in front of him where the beginner tutorial was being conducted.

"A tutorial? Virtual reality games don't even need that?"

He died three times to that boss on his first playthrough, only to be told upon exiting that it was just a common enemy.

Thinking of this, Zicomo couldn't help but jump down; he was determined to take revenge.

Zicomo completed the tutorial in less than fifteen minutes, thirteen of which were spent running around.

I also achieved my first accomplishment:

[Beginner's Guide: You've mastered the game! Go on an adventure! Manifestation attempts +1]

He also managed to get his hands on the Holy Dragon Emblem amulet.

This is an incredibly realistic and immersive game. There's no need to go around detours or jump over traps to find items you can't directly pick up; you can just climb the walls.

Although these amulets that reduce elemental damage are not very useful to him, he becomes immune to elemental damage after taking a few more hits.

But what can you do when he's a hamster? He wants to collect everything he sees.

Emerging from the cave of learning, one can see six divinely inspired towers at varying distances, with lush golden trees gleaming in the distance.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, Zicomo sensed something was amiss.

The white-masked Van Lei is standing next to the blessing point in front, that's correct.

But why didn't he see the big tree guarding the basin behind the white mask?

"System, what's going on here? Explain."

[Host, please note that the current Elden Ring is a virtual world constructed by the system.]

As a separate world, its area is naturally not as small as the games the host previously played.

"So, you're saying that I now need a certain amount of time just to travel around this world?"

【Yes】

"Then tell me, at my current speed, how long would it take me to run to the ruins in front of the checkpoint and get my beloved horse, Toretto?"

[At the host's current speed, it is estimated that it will take 16 hours to run at full speed.]

"Damn! This game is so realistic!"

Zicomo silently walked toward the blessing point ahead.

"...Oh, you are...the one who fades, right?"

Zicomo ignored the white mask, lit up the blessing, and ran in the direction indicated by the blessing.

He even forgot that there was a Golden Tree Seed in his initial inventory that could increase the maximum number of Dettol Bottles (health/mana bottles).

Looking at the figure that had become a tiny dot, the white-masked man was at a loss for words.

Why are this year's fading stars not playing by the rules?!

After a long run, Zicomo bypassed the tree guardians, lit up the blessing of the Church of Elek, and finally reached the ruins in front of the checkpoint.

Upon arriving at the blessing point and sitting down, Melina's figure solidified from the ethereal realm.

Zicomo speculated that she might only exist as a soul.

After all, some netizens speculated that she was the Queen of Night-Colored Eyes, the woman who was chosen by two fingers, lost in the competition between God and Marika, and even used Death Rune in the end.

"Hello, who came through the fog."

Zicomo stepped forward and interrupted, "Alright, you blockhead, I'll take you to the foot of the Golden Tree. Give me Toret now."

There was no way around it; although his body didn't feel tired while playing the game, he had never run continuously for 16 hours before as an ordinary person.

He was now mentally exhausted, his mind filled with a numbness, and all he wanted to do was log off and go to sleep.

Melina, whose train of thought had been interrupted by Zicomo, was also bewildered as to why the faded one in front of her was so skilled.

(Zicomo: The leeway for second-time players.)

"Hurry up, I need to go rest."

Zicomo urged him again.

Melina snapped out of her daze, took out Torret's whistle, and handed it to Zicomo.

Zicomo took the whistle and put it into his inventory. He said to Melina, "Alright, I'm going to rest now. Remember my name, Zicomo. I'll take you to the foot of the Golden Tree."

Without waiting for Melina's response, he called up the system panel and logged off.

After Zicomo goes offline, his in-game body will be hidden in the void by the system.
