Sekai just formed a party with the ladies, however with barely over day left, what can he do?
"You're going to the western ruins?" Ninya asked. "I'll guide you."
"Actually no, it's better you tell me where to go." Sekai stated, pulling out a map.
"Wha? Did you always have that map?" "Actually no, I just went to town and gotten one at the adventurer's guild. So could you show me where on the map I may find the western ruins?"
Ninya looked at the map for a brief moment and then pointed, "It's over here." She claimed with affirmation.
Sekai used his game controller and paused time. "Sorry but with barely 23 hours left I need to do this alone. I'm afraid my status will be d--" The second Sekai said the word status, a small health and mana bar appeared on the bottom right, in a 3-D motion. It stated Selai's level was 6, Sekai's health was 274/280 and mana was 30/30. What's the mana bar for? The controller doesn't sap any mana. Does that mean I can learn spells?
"FIRE Barrage!" "Ice spear!" "Wind gust!" "Earth pebble at least?" Nothing. Not a single thing happened. He looked at his countdown timer. "What's more important is getting rid of this stupid timer!"
Roughly a day left after I appeared here. and worst case if timer reaches 0, I might die.
So, first thing's first. Let's advance in the game. Finish this stupid quest and then i can figure things out.
Sekai remembered back on the wasted time. One incident was when he froze time, taking Fury the dark elf back to the kingdom for her execution.
The gate was closed, so he had to resume time. Guards stated the King will see no one as he was on a break.
They told Sekai he had to wait until tomorrow; Sekai had to wait hours for gate to open as timer went from 40 hours to 27 hours.
Sekai took the Dark elf to an inn where we waited. He let her bathe, but as she was gagged with a gag that requires a key to unlock, Sekai felt safe she couldn't cast spells on him.
As Sekai's flashback came to an end, he approached the western ruins. There was no movement not at all.
Not even like a fire unattended, or anything that may have looked like goblins were here.
This DAMNED KING Sekai angrily thought to himself. If he sent me to an unoccupied area, we are going to have some WORDS!
Sekai thought about how games work. What if this is like LoZ M*j*r*s M*sk? A timer countdown, 3 days to finish or I start back at the beginning? No, it'll probably more like D*rk S*uls Where i have to wait a certain time for the quest to appear.
Sekai mused over the possibilities. But, if this isn't a game world, then me stopping time was ultimately pointless. He sighed sadly Isn't this just like gambling?
The psychology of those who lose in gambling is They are in illusion that they win a first time, then the losses they achieve will be sank into, are just debts so they try to recover the money by playing more.
Sekai grumbles to himself. For now i guess I must return time back to its original state and hope that it'll be okay.
Just about when Sekai was about to resume time, he saw a goblin by a ruined wall.
Perfect, Sekai thought. I just hope goblins are the quest!
Sekai slashed at the goblin's frozen head cutring it off in one fell swoop. He saw his lvl 6 raise to lvl 7, but nothing else special happpened.
One week later, SEKAI kept pausing and resuming as the govlins appeared and he cut them up.
He thought how this reminded him of rhose classic hack & slash games.
After Sekai killed 35 goblins, he qaited to see if anymore will pop up.
"One week of killing goblins and I leveled from lv6 to lv9. Once i report this to the King, this should be over, however... I'm a completionist. There's probably some big boss."
Sekai resumed time and qaited. after few hours, Sekai nodded off. He was awoken by Ninya and Sekai looked at countdown timer.
Oh, good. only 1-2 hours has passed. sad there's no final boss, but King said it's mundane for someone of my skills. I didn't expect to see Fury staying here? She could've left anytime.
Sekai was pulled from his thoughts "Hold up, did either of you see any goblins?" Ninya nods.
She took him back qhere he just came from, as Sekai wondered if they respawned.
What he saw was goblins now pulling a few chained ladies around.
This is not where the goblins were before? The girls also respawneqd with them. This can only mean that this is the MAIN QUEST.
Sekai paused watching the event frozen now. Goblins had one lady suspended by rope as they fondled her breasts.
Typical goblin-like behavior. Two instigating as the others merely watch.
SHOW'S OVER! Sekai yelled and slashed sword cutting the onlooker goblins down. His slash qent in a wide range formation hitting each foblin as Sekai realized his levelling up granted him a new skill.
Did I gather nature energy like N*r*t*? No I'm not a sage toad.
As Sekai entered an opening he saw a beautiful woman chained up. Suddenly as he turned he saw the boss frozen.
Wow he's huge.. oh well .. makes no difference.
"CROSS SLASH!" Sekai did two diagonal cuts in the air then resumed time sending it in a cross shape right to the goblin.
"Man, Cl**d makes his limit break look so easy." in the time he had paused, he freed the trapped lady, set her down in a sitting position and then went anout killing the boss.
Learning other peoples' skills is fun. Too bad, G*k*'s one is way out of reach. It'd help though a lot."
The unconscious woman stirred, waking up. "Huh? Where am i?" She looks at Sekai "Who are you?" She blushed hard, seeing a make believe roses appear around Sekais face as he talked.
"Are you harmed, my lady? Goblins kidnapped you, but you're safe now. I took rhem all down."
She quickly jumped into his arms, higging him. Sekai wasnt fully prepared for a hug.
"May I ask your name sir Hero?" "It's Sekai." "If there's anything i can do...."
When Sekai thought of thebwnefits of being a hero, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by Ninya.
"You cleared out rhw goblin encampment in less than a minute?" "Pretty much." Sekai stated.
"You're awesome Sekai!" Ninya exclaimed. Sekai tells her that they should escort the girls to town. As Ninya was about to ask Sekai if he was coming, he disappeared.
"He's so rude!" she huffed out angrily. As Sekai comes to the gates, he finds out the king has retired to his chambers once more. Sekai grumbles having to let time pass its course.
As he was scouring the town he came across the girl he saved from goblins. "How is she here? No way this whole time, my quest was saving the NPC?." He resumed time as he saw her waving at him, talking to an older fellow who happened to be her dad.
"Father this is the one that saved me," she said, hugging Sekai. "My name is Cornelia the merchant. Thanks for saving my daughter, Fiona. Please Sir Hero, stay at my inn tonight."
"Well, I have stuff I have to-" Sekai was cut off by Fiona's loud excited voice. "Oh my, yes father. Please Stay Sir Sekai. I haven't properly thanked you yet!" Sekai stopped time. "When you say stuff like that in that cute tone of yours..." Sekai stuffs his head up her skirt. "I feel properly rewarded!"
As Seki resumed time, Fury was the first to speak up. "Alright let's take his hospitality and sleep, the soft bed will be a nice change for once.' Fury walks into the inn and Ninya follows.
Sekai went in with no other option, other than partly curious why Fury is still teamed up with them. He reaches her door. "You do remember you turned down my invitation. Is there a reason you're here? Maybe you're considering it?"
Fury looked at him with cold, calculating eyes. "I do as i please, you pervert." "Well, what a weird thing to say." Sekai grinned. "Anyways can you do me a favor. I'm trying to be productive with my time."
Later on, Sekai met up with the King and Alicia as he has said that he completed the goblin quest. "Hero Sekai Kuzuno, you have done well. Since this morning, I've received gratitude from few villagers how you saved their life" As the King rambled on, Sekai looked at his time. He sighs at it went form 23 hours to 2 hours 19 minutes and 43 seconds. Surely this HAS to be the event clear! "Also, Sir Hero Sekai, you shall be honored for the achievement of annihilating the goblins of the western ruins." Sekai wondered how much longer the King will talk on for.
"You, Sir Hero Sekai, will be handed a hefty reward." Sekai saw timer going down to 2 hours. Was I mistaken? Do I even have enough time for another quest? King pulled his from the drifting mind and continued, "As such, the edict has been filled."
Suddenly the sky went black as everyone in the kingdom were shocked to see it pitch black. Sekai rushed to a window seeing massive fireworks.
"Fireworks, but that only happens on rare occasions." "This... this is it! This can only mean one thing!" Sekai saw in the sky in big bold letters stating, STAGE CLEAR!
Sekai pumped his hands to the sky. "Finally!" Alicia grasped his hands. "Oh, true Hero. Sir Sekai. You will be the one who saves the world!" Sekai's times ticks down... 5...4....3....2...1... As Sekai closes his eyes, he saw timer say 71 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds...
Alicia's voice spoke out "Sekai-sama, I'm impressed. As I thought, Sekai, you are... erm, your Grace is... the gentleman as per my expectation." Sekai looked, timer reset, wait I don't get my peace and quiet? "Sir hero Sekai," Alicia clasped his hands again.
"I beg you. Please defeat the King of Darkness." PAUSE! Sekai looked at her panties, pulled them down, "Are you kidding me Princess!?" He looked at her heart shaped pillow of an ass, and her nice perky boobs. "Please say it ain't so!" He nuzzled his head in her bare butt.
"Don't tell me, my next quest is saving the world in three DAYS!"
