“Fuu… I’m so tired today,” Kei said.

As soon as she arrived home, she collapsed on her sofa.

“UWAAAAAHHHH, Aikawa-san! Don’t clock out today, please help me.”

So cried and complained Kei’s junior colleague, and thanks to helping her, Kei ended up coming home quite late. After filling her stomach with convenience store salad and jelly, she prepped her gaming equipment and logged into Genesis Omega Online.

And when she entered the game, she was in a fortified city surrounded by snow and stone walls. The second layer is a wintry region. When Johann enters a suitable inn and rents a room there, she called her summoned beast Hinadora.

“Mokkyu!” Hinadora cried.

“Nkyuu!!” Johann squealed. “Ufufu, you’re still cute as ever!”

She holds the summoned Hinadora in her arms and then dives into the bed. Then, she rolls around while hugging Hinadora.

“Haaaaah, so happy. I want to live here… I want to live here permanently,” Johann said.

While Johann had a face of happiness that she could never show to anyone else, she came to want an Intermediate level Virtumon as soon as possible.

There are three of them: Sword Angel, Buster Beetle, and Meteor Bird. They are monsters that look more “cool” than “cute”.

As Johann confirmed the quality of the monsters at the Collaboration Event, she wanted to summon them no matter what.

“Summon them to do this and that… guhehe,” Johann laughed. “Well, to get there, I have to win the ranking event. Let’s check it out, just in case.”

Johann was quick to switch gears. She opened the event schedule from her menu and checked the overview.

Regular Ranking Event To Be Held”

Date: April 12 (Sat) 10:00 14:00 19:00

Participation Conditions

Reached the second layer. Be Level 10 or higher

You can participate in any one of the times. Register any time in advance.

If you are logged in at the call time, you will be automatically transferred to the event area.

The event area will be divided into rooms with 30-50 people per level, and three 20-minute battle royales will be held. Points are assigned based on the number of players defeated and the levels of the players defeated.

“Fighting more than 30 people at once? I’m worried. I had a hard time fighting that boss,” Johann said to herself.

The fight with Kuwa Geiger fought yesterday flashed in Johann’s mind. It was a tough win. At that time, Johann was in high spirits, but when she calmed down, it was a battle with many things to reflect on.

“That participation means you reached the second layer means everyone there has defeated the stag beetle. Haa. I guess everyone is strong…” Johann muttered.

“Mokyu-kyu,” Hinadora cried.

It was a squeak to encourage the discouraged Johann. And Hinadora kept tapping Johann with its short limbs.

“That’s right,” Johann said. “I’ll do my best so that I can call you all my friends.”

“Mo…!” Hinadora cried.

“For now, let’s go back to the first layer!” Johann said.

With a warp portal, Johann moved between the layers instantly.

There are several reasons for Johann’s returning to the first layer. First of all, the ranking event is next Saturday and there is no time. She’s got gym workouts on Tuesday and Friday, and she doesn’t don’t have that much time to prepare, given her working overtime on short notice like today.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to spend the rest of her time exploring more uncharted dungeons and collecting common summons like the Magic Golems to increase her power? At least that’s what she thought.

“Alright. The rest of the time will be used for exploration!” Johann cried.

“Wan-wan-wan!” Inukoro cried.

And with that, Johann and her Virtumon ventured into unexplored dungeons with their “Item Finder” skills.

As a result, her level rose to 16.

“Um, is it really okay? I feel like it’s not a fair trade?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Johann said. “Even if I have it, I won’t use it.”

“Hooray! Then it’s a deal!”

Also, Johann used the trading bulletin board you could use from the menu. She puts up the mineral materials and rare items she got in the process of collecting summoning stones, and kept her targets, summoned beast stones.

Since only Summoners could use most summoning stones, she’s been getting a lot of interesting trade requests.

And as a result, she’s got:

10 Muscle Mights with “Strength Booster” that increases her “Strength” stat by 50.

10 Metal Slimes with “Rare Metal” that increases her “Defense” stat by 50.

10 Gnomes with “Craftsman’s Hand” that increases her “Dexterity” by 50.

Ultimately, she’s received a total of 30 summoning stones.

“Fuu,” Johann sighed. “I did my best, didn’t I?”

“Moh,” Hinador went.

It was Friday evening.

Johann had declined the invitation to drink with her coworkers and was now relaxing with Hinadora on the second floor of an inn. The ranking event is tomorrow. Even though it’s a Saturday, she has work in the morning, so she plans to participate in the 19:00 session. As a final confirmation, she checked her status.

“With all this… it won’t be a losing fight from the gate, right?”

Johann stretched out and prepared to log out. It was probably earlier than usual for tomorrow’s work shift. Hinadora was watching over her back as if encouraging her, saying, “It’s okay.”
