HP: 99997/99999?

Magic value MP: 9999/9999?

Physical strength: 9997/9999?

"Wow, this is really... perverted."

Yosuke couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. It seemed that he could change his level at will, and after changing the level, his HP, MP, and physical strength would change accordingly, which was exactly the same as in the game.

"Then try Elementary Healing Technique."

Yosuke imagined the sensation of unleashing a skill. The wings behind him flapped gently, and a dazzling golden light shot up into the sky. Gradually, the golden light particles converged under the sun into a gigantic, winged humanoid figure. The figure, gathered by the light, was remarkably clear, even the serene expression on its face was visible. Its height, several kilometers high, made it impossible to gaze upon it except upwards. Then, the entire world fell silent. The sounds of birds, insects, and the wind through the trees faded, as if time had stood still.

The light and shadow's wings flapped, and dozens of golden feathers slowly descended, some dozens of meters long, landing around him. Then, all the scratches on his body disappeared, leaving no trace on his skin. The surrounding vegetation grew wildly, quickly acting like a cage, shutting out the sunlight. A moment later, a roar of beasts echoed from the forest, and countless birds took flight.

Yosuke stared blankly at these changes. He just wanted to release a very basic healing technique, but how did it turn out to be something he had never seen before? Moreover, this change was simply unimaginable, and it even affected the surrounding plants and trees.

Yosuke no longer wanted to confirm these changes. He began to think that this couldn't have been his doing, or that he must be daydreaming. He withdrew his thoughts and hid in a corner formed by the huge grass and trees, ignoring the things he had just seen. After a few minutes, after calming down and remembering his original purpose, he imagined the status bar to confirm. HP and stamina were restored to full values, and MP was still 9999. Normally, MP would be consumed after casting a spell, and now the MP value had not changed, which could only be attributed to his extremely fast recovery speed.

"If the recovery speed is so fast, why didn't HP recover automatically when it was at level 1?"

Then Yosuke did another experiment, which was to adjust the level back to level 1 and then release magic to see if there was any change in his magic recovery speed. Then he adjusted the level back to 999 and deliberately got injured to see if the recovery speed was different from level 1.

The first is the healing spell cast at level 1.

Elementary Healing Technique

A faint golden light enveloped the whole body.

"Looks like it was successful."

While casting the healing spell, Yosuke looked around to see if there were any unusual changes. After confirming that there were no unusual changes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

[Maybe it's because my level was too high before.]

Yosuke thought so in his mind, and then checked the status bar again. There was no change in physical strength and HP, only MP decreased by 3 points. It seems that the skills are working well.

I checked the recovery status of my magic power and it seems to be recovering a little every 3 minutes.

"It seems the effectiveness of magic and the speed of mana recovery are related to the level."

"Elementary Healing" is a spell learned by all races in the game, and almost all support mages possess this most basic skill. Because it only affects themselves, even at level 1, it can be used to heal at the cost of 3 MP, though it can only be used to treat basic damage such as scratches.

Next is the injury test at level 999.

"It's really annoying, getting hurt and all."

In the real-life MMORPG Yosuke once played, to give players a more realistic gaming experience, when a player is injured, the system will stimulate the player's nerves through subtle electrical waves emitted by the VR headset, causing pain in the corresponding area. However, this pain is more like being hit by a small stone, not so painful that it is unbearable. Even so, except for players with extremely special hobbies, no one wants to get hurt on their own, and Yosuke is one of those people who does not want to be hurt.

"Fall on purpose."

Yosuke closed his eyes, suppressed his body's instinctive avoidance, and deliberately fell to the ground.

"It hurts, it hurts."

Yosuke stretched out his soft hands to cover his forehead. The pain of falling in the real world was unbearable for his current body. How could a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl endure such an unprepared fall?

"Let's take a look...at the status bar."

Yosuke kept his hand covering his forehead and checked the status bar in his mind - no HP loss.

"What's going on?"

Noticing that his HP hadn't decreased, Yosuke became puzzled.

"I'll just have to try a few more times."

So Yosuke started falling down intentionally while watching his HP value. After a few minutes, Yosuke found out the reason.

"Your level is too high to be hurt, huh?... But you can feel the pain."

The two-hour-long experiments began...

After repeated experiments, Yangjie came to the conclusion:

[You can adjust your level at will, and various attribute values ​​will also increase with the level increase, such as MP recovery speed.]

[Skills may be affected by level and produce unexpected effects.]

[No matter what level you adjust, pain is unavoidable, but the HP value is affected by defense resistance, and the amount of reduction will vary.]

"Next is changing your name and race. These two things will be checked when you pass through a town in the game."

Yosuke thought about it carefully. Naming was not something he was good at, and he didn't want to just pick a random name. After all, he was very cute right now, and he couldn't let his looks go to waste. He wanted to experience what it was like to be a girl, and a name was an essential highlight.

"Hmm—Eleanor? Elelaya? Elalaya? Or Elalaya? Hmm, that's a good one. From now on, just call me Eleanor. Or just Ela for short."

"Change name to Elelaya"

Next is changing your race. What race should you choose? In the original game, the races that players can choose are all similar to humans, and each race has its own characteristics.

The dragon language magic of the dragon clan, the purple pupils of the demon clan, the pointed ears of the elves, the silver hair of the gods, the beard of the dwarves, the pale blue skin of the goblins...

Aside from the dragon language magic of the dragon race, the race of each race can be identified at a glance. Ella possessed the purple eyes of the demon race, the pointed ears of the elf race, and the silver hair of the god-man race, making it impossible to distinguish her race. The game's background setting stated that it was impossible for a being to possess the characteristics of two races at the same time. Even if two races intermarried, the man and woman would only inherit the characteristics of one. Therefore, Ella was completely unable to confirm her own race, leaving her at a loss.

"How can I even enter the town?"

Ella sighed helplessly.

"But then again, whether there are towns in this world is still a question..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Ella suddenly thought of a terrifying thing. What if, what if there were no humans in this world? Thinking of the loli god's final angry tone, Ella couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. A world without humans would mean that she would be alone forever, with no one to communicate with...

So the first goal was confirmed.

[Goal 1: I must confirm whether there is anything in this world that can be communicated with!]

Ella screamed in her heart.

Chapter 3: The first adventure in the forest? No! Chase!

*创世纪6185年8月14日上午11:24分 巴里斯王国

Having set her first goal, Ella began to explore the human town.

"Ah~ah, I'm so thirsty. I need some water."

Ella sighed helplessly. After spending the entire morning determining her basic condition, her first goal was to search for any traces of humanity, yet she still had no clue. Furthermore, she had no food source. It seemed her primary goal was to find food first.

There was no such thing as food and clothing in the game. After all, ultimately, one was only relying on one's own body in the real world. Food and clothing were completely solved in the real world by advanced civilizations. But now, they had to find their own food, which left Ella at a loss.

"In-game, finding items relies on a minimap... eh? Ah! If you can imagine the status bar, can you also imagine the minimap? Hmm—that seems a bit off."

The problem lies in what works.

The status bar's status affected one's own status, so one could easily check it. However, the map's effects affected a specific area. Could one easily check unexplored terrain? This made Ella's heart flutter.

"Never mind, let's try first—[Terrain Search]."

【Om—】

A buzzing sound filled her mind, and then, like a star chart in a game, a transparent, pale-cyan map popped up before Ella. The map, centered on Ella, stretched all the way to the edge of the forest. The various terrain markings were clearly visible. Even the time appeared beside it, showing 11:26.

Ella currently set her level at 50. This was the level she'd determined after various experiments, which meant she wouldn't encounter unexpected spell effects or face unexpected difficulties. If her level were higher, the map's display range would likely be further.

"Hmm... Did it work? It's like a magic effect. It seems to move with me."

The map that appears out of thin air will turn as Ella turns around, and will always appear right in front of Ella. If you touch it with your hand, it will just pass through. It should be just a projection-like effect.

"If I can't move the map with my hands, then I really need to imagine using my hands to move it. It's a little strange, but it's really convenient."

Ella propped her head up with one arm. Though she couldn't see it herself, if someone else saw it, it might trigger a protective instinct. Then, Ella input the map using her imagination.

【What you can eat】

Then, several green cursors appeared on the map and kept flashing, which probably meant that these were your targets, just like the display effect in the game.

Ella also discovered several lakes on the map. If she could find them, she would have no problem finding food and clothing. With this in mind, Ella started walking towards the nearest lake.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Ella had imagined. Before she had taken a few steps, a creature with a bird's head, a lion's body and bird's wings on its back walked out of the woods and headed in the same direction as her.

"No way... this setting is too difficult!"

Ella whispered what she wanted to say in a sad and angry tone. As soon as she finished speaking, many creatures that had only been seen in games walked out of the forest one after another.

A silver wolf with a single horn on its head, a chinchilla with a tail sticking out like a ball of meat, a bear walking upright on two feet with spikes all over its body, a giant python with a bull's head and a snake's body, and a dark-skinned creature that resembles a tiger.

All these creatures that only existed in fantasy stories appeared before her eyes, and except for the Totoro, the other creatures looked extremely ferocious. Ella resisted the urge to scream loudly and prayed silently in her heart that these monsters were not coming for her.

She crouched down, hiding in the bushes nearby, holding her breath, carefully observing the movements of those fantastical creatures. Unfortunately, all of them stared at the bushes where Ella was hiding as if they were aiming at a target, and slowly walked towards her.

"Wow!!"

Screaming, Ella quickly ran out of the bushes and ran to the other side of the creature without looking back.

Then, all the creatures seemed to be alarmed and chased after Ella. If someone looked down from directly above the forest at this time, they could see the amazing sight of a person leading a group of animals in a cone shape moving quickly in the forest.

Hearing the growls of the monsters behind her, Ella seemed to be able to imagine saliva dripping from their mouths. When she thought that she would become food for the monsters if she stopped, she couldn't help but move a little faster.

Run, run non-stop.

At this moment, Ella felt the feelings of the protagonists who were being chased in the movie. It was very exciting when she watched it herself, and when she actually experienced it - it was simply the most exciting thing in her life.

Crossing the bushes and jumping over the ditches, Ella kept moving through the forest and came to a huge lake. There seemed to be no sound chasing her from behind, and Ella breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, luckily I set my level to 50, otherwise my current stamina wouldn't be enough."

Stamina is different from HP. In the games Ella had played before, stamina represented mobility rather than health. Fatigue and injury affected stamina and HP respectively, but the two were not unrelated. For example, a decrease in HP meant injury, and injury would naturally lead to a decrease in mobility. However, the specific relationship between them was another matter.

Ella felt extremely tired, and she was thirsty before. She couldn't help but kneel down by the lake, gasping for breath. Although there might be monsters chasing her from behind, there was no movement at the moment, so she could take a break for a while.

While making excuses for herself, Ella leaned over, scooped up a handful of water, and drank. The water flowed down her small hands, and her wings fluttered wildly with her breathing. Her slightly disheveled, pure silver hair scattered carelessly on the ground, and against the tranquility of the lake, it was a scene so picturesque that it was impossible to disturb them.

After coming to his senses, he prayed that the monsters would stop chasing him while opening the map and reciting silently in his mind.

[Demons]

Then, a sky full of blue dots filled the map, all rapidly moving towards the center of the map where Ella was. Then, looking back at her own position on the map, Ella slowly turned her head, like a machine that hadn't been oiled for a long time. The movement seemed to be accompanied by the sound of gears clacking. The monsters that had been chasing her were all surrounding her from behind, staring at her. Some of them looked at each other, as if competing to see who would get the first bite.

Ella thought of the vast lake before her. She couldn't swim at all, and in her current state, even if she could, she wouldn't be able to adapt! Cursing the Loli God inwardly, she timidly looked at the dark mass of monsters around her, hoping they would devour her whole body instead of dismembering her. Her hair stood on end, and cold sweat, mixed with the lake water that had clung to her face, trickled down her smooth neck.

"How can we end our journey to another world like this? This is too much."

The surrounding monsters seemed to have identified a leader. A creature with a bird's head and a lion's body, similar to the griffins in her own world, emerged. Ella thought, this monster must be enjoying the first bite. She closed her eyes, trembling all over, praying for a miracle, tears welling uncontrollably.

However, after more than ten seconds, the imagined body-tearing pain did not come. Ella opened her eyes slightly and found that the monsters around her were motionless, and the griffin from before crawled down in front of her, kneeling with its front legs bent as if in submission, with its head resting on its feet and its eyes closed.

A fairytale-like scene unfolded before her, leaving Ella momentarily bewildered. Based on her past life's experience, the griffin's actions must have signaled submission, but that past experience didn't seem to apply to this other world. She had no choice but to tentatively ask, wondering if these monsters possessed the intelligence and understanding of human speech like the monsters in the game.

While thinking about how to say the first sentence, the griffin in front of him suddenly stood up and a mature male voice was heard.

"Please forgive our rude behavior in chasing you earlier. We simply wanted to repay your kindness, great God."

After saying that, he knelt down again as before, and the monsters around him also imitated the griffin's actions and knelt down.

For a moment, Ella's mind was a little confused.

"What? So these monsters can talk? They're treating me like food, and they're talking about gods... This is weird, what's going on?"

Ella was surprised to learn that she was from another world, yet the language here was the same as her own. However, this was beyond her comprehension, so for now, she just had to accept that the language was common.

Ella tried to think about what characteristics of herself might be that of a god, but she had no clue. No matter how she looked at herself, she looked like a subhuman with characteristics of various races mixed together. The only thing that made her look like a god was the wings behind her that emitted a golden glow all the time.

As if because Ella didn't respond, the griffin's voice came again.

"We were baptized by God early in the morning, gaining wisdom and our bodies evolving. After we became accustomed to our bodies, we came together to pay our respects to you. We are all grateful for your grace, and we are willing to do anything to repay it."

The griffin seemed a little excited as it spoke, and its wings behind it flapped slightly.

"So that's why. Was it because of that huge light and shadow when I started experimenting with healing this morning?"

"Uh... okay, I get it. Get up."

While thinking in his mind, he responded. It seemed that they regarded him as a god. Was his previous magic so powerful? Apart from the scratches on his body healing, the only thing he could feel was the wild growth of the surrounding grass and trees.

"Yes."

The griffin slowly stood up, and the monsters around it returned to their normal postures.

"Do you have any instructions?"

"Instructions? I didn't..." Ella was about to say it in a casual tone, but then she changed her mind and realized that she was being treated as a god in the eyes of the animals. If she didn't behave in a way that was in line with being a god, wouldn't it be very dangerous if the animals found out that she was not a real god?

"Instructions?... I have a few questions for you."
