First Quest (10)

Beak!

 

Beak!

 

A Bukaroo was flying towards Vivian who was waiting for the bird to come to her.

 

Whaaack!

 

Beeeaaak!

 

Thud.

 

Vivian whacked the bird away with her stick once it entered her attack range.

 

She dropped one of her sticks and then rushed to where the bird landed.

 

Bam!

 

She drove her fist down, killing the bird.

 

Hmm… 

 

Still hasn’t come out yet…

 

I was expecting since I used a skill it will give more EXP…

 

I guess it doesn't work that way…?

 

Or is it because I'm anticipating it that it seems longer…?

 

But Level 1 is only (??/10), right…?

 

She scratched her head.

 

"And why the fuck is it even listed as '??' when learning the skill…?"

 

She threw the thought away at the back of her head and began extracting the tail.

 

Once she was done, she got up to retrieve her other stick.

 

"Well, at least I only need 1 Bukaroo tail left…"

 

***

 

Vivian let out a deep sigh.

 

In front of her were 2 sunflower monsters rushing toward her.

 

After gathering her thoughts, she burst out into a run to meet the 2 monsters.

 

Whaaack!

 

Whaaack!

 

She swung her sticks and killed the 2 monsters with one blow each.

 

Ding!

 

‘Unlocked [Body Art Mastery] (Dual Swords Mastery) - Level 2!'

 

Vivian let out a chuckle and shook her head.

 

She went beside a tree to find shade.

So +2 VIT, huh…

 

Her eyes glanced at her [Savage] skills.

 

Both the main and body are still learning Level 2...

 

I forgot about this…

 

Well, I can't help it…

 

There's just too many things to do, I'm on the clock and I can't afford to get injured…

 

She closed the Status Panel and then resumed roaming around.

 

"Last one~~ Last, La-Last one~~ Last one~~ Last, La-Last one~~"

 

"Hmm… Come to think of it, I just realized that my voice is soft…"

 

She placed 2 fingers on her throat.

 

"Haa... Haa... Ha...!"

 

She cleared her throat.

 

"Come to me, my love~~ To the sea, the sea of love~~"

 

She stopped walking.

 

"Well, that was embarrassing…"

 

She resumed walking but didn't sing this time around.

 

***

 

Vivian stopped and then bit her lower lip to suppress the urge to curse welling up inside of her.

 

She looked down to distract herself and her eyes landed on her feet, specifically her right bare foot.

 

She wiggled her toes.

 

Why do women always have better-looking feet…?

 

But those are ugly toenails…

 

I don't even want to imagine how the original owner of this body did to maintain them…

 

She raised her head and stared at the charging monsters.

 

It was a group of the tiny jumping mushrooms.

 

They’re still far away…

 

She glanced down at her feet again.

 

I never understood why people have feet fetishes…

 

But then again, everyone has their own fetishes and I'm no different…

 

Come to think of it… 

 

Since I'm not the original owner of this body, do I share the same fetishes of this body…?

 

I mean, are fetishes psychological or physical, or both…?

 

Or are there fetishes that can be labeled as strictly psychological and others as strictly physical…?

 

She raised her head.

 

They're still far away…

 

She made a quick glance at her right foot.

 

I wonder if there's nail polish in this world…

 

I mean, I'm a woman right now so I need to be beautiful, right…?

 

Not to mention those are some ugly nails…

 

Even I had better nails like this back in my original body…

 

Hmm…

 

I wonder how my body is doing there…

 

A thought suddenly flashed inside her head and her face immediately turned pale.

 

D-Did we... just swap bodies...?

 

If Vivian were to be honest, she doesn't remember her last day back in her previous world.

 

How did I not think about this...?

 

Am I dead or alive...?

 

And what if one day I'll go back to my body...?

 

If that bitch made my body into a gay person, I'm gonna fucking kill her even if I have to go back to this world so that I can strangle her myself...!

 

If there's some soul magic in this world, I really need to learn it…

 

She made a huge mental note to learn everything about soul magic, specifically the ones where a soul can transfer to another body.

 

For the time being, I need to level up as soon as possible…

 

She raised her head.

 

Oh, they're finally here…

 

Whaaack!

 

Whaaack!

 

Whaaack!

 

Whaaack!

 

Poink!

 

Whaaack!

 

Poink!

 

Whaaack!

 

Whaaack!

 

After killing the mushrooms, she inspected her sticks one by one.

 

"Still looks good I guess…"

 

"This one too…"

 

She resumed walking.

 

I have Fire x1.2 affinity…

 

I guess I'm destined to be some kind of Fire Wizard-Thief…?

 

However, how do I unlock [Fire Mastery]…?

 

Would be it like how I learned [Poison Mastery]…?

 

But I don't want to burn myself…

 

What about the other elements…?

 

I mean, if [Poison Mastery] requires you to poison yourself, then shouldn't [Ice], [Wind] or even [Time Mastery] be common…?

 

Hell, just [Time Mastery] alone, one simply just has to experience time, right…?

 

And for [Ice Mastery], just experience the winter season…!

 

She scratched her head.

 

“Well, I guess I should ask the receptionists at the Adventurer's Guild…"

 

"Like seriously, don't MCs in books, animes and movies that have this Status Panel also come with a personal assistant A.I. to explain things to the owner…?"

 

"Very inconvenient!"

 

"Oh, I also wonder if there's makeup here…"

 

She shook her head.

 

"Idiot, of course, there is. They even have soap…"

 

"I also wonder if there's also a claw-like weapon for unlocking [Claw Mastery] and I can just claw things to death…"

 

"And I'll be like, meow~~, and scratch them to death...!”

 

“Hehehehe~!"

 

***

 

Beak!

 

Beak!

 

"Oh, thank God! Thank you so much! I love you! Muah!" Vivian cried out and blew a flying kiss to the air when she heard the sound before quickly turning to the direction of where the sound was coming from.

 

Whaaack!

 

Beeeaaak!

 

Thud.

 

She whacked the bird away with her sticks once it entered her attack range.

 

She dropped one of her sticks to the ground and then immediately rushed to where the bird landed.

 

Bam!

 

Ding!

 

'Unlocked [Body Art Mastery] (Fist Mastery) - Level 1!'
