This isn’t a story of a noble knight or a savior. This is the tale of a cynical knight in the hack-and-slash game world with the maximum difficulty setting. 

No system to help him.

No status panel to notify his progress.

No HUD to give him hints.

However, one hope remains. The knight “Crow” retains an in-game ability. By shattering objects or defeating enemy leaders, he can summon random game items as if the world itself is still a game. With a pet crow "Cow-Cow" by his side, the Crow Knight trudges through this treacherous land, armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a knack for minding his own business until fate decides otherwise.

Also, please do not speak in caps. He hates it.

Oh, did I forget to mention that his pet crow has three legs? What? It isn't important? Never mind, then.

Morning arrived. Thanks to someone, I didn't get a wink of sleep. Still, the new knowledge was somewhat useful.


While lying on the bed, I exhaled deeply and stared at the ceiling. The bullet time was activated at my will. I turned it off and closed my eyes to rest.


This cultivation method allowed me to replenish my musou force to the fullest at the expense of my proteins. The dopamine, oxytocin, endorphins, and serotonin from me and my partner were converted to energy, refilling both our musou cores.


Musou cores developed through a cycle of energy expenditure and restoration. Without consuming special items, they grew naturally over time. Dual cultivation hastened the process as we spent our energy in the activities and restored them through circulation.


Based on my level two cultivation, I estimated that my musou gauge was somewhere in the vicinity of 150 to 200 points. As for Lia's MP, it should be around 400 to 450 points.
