The Marionette's Puppeteer (Volume 2)

Introduction IV (end)

“Sebris, can you do something like a fire other than your aura? It's not working. I don't feel a slight heat in your aura.” I complained.

“What are you? It's really freakin’ hot near her!?” Added the frustrated Staz.

I was confused when I saw a steak sizzling at my steak. That's when I realized that I have ‘Heat and Fire Resistance’ which I obtained a long ago when I was sizzling in the sun.

After a while, We ate our lunch and I made my decision. I needed to at least go to the city part of this country once.

Going to a far away place means that I had to leave this house and for a worst case scenario, I'll abandon it.

Who knows, We might get lost on a track and forget our way back. I was troubled. After all, this house was made by us.

Although the inside was boring, compiling wood and building the foundation with concrete was a tough one.

But every night, I couldn't get a goodnight sleep. Monsters and mobs keep appearing and as the day passes, more threatening and dangerous monsters slowly appear like grizzly bears and even a red boar.

One time I was awoken by the loud noise Haruke’s blade made, I was like ‘I wanna leave this place’.

A whole tree was even burned to ashes by Sebris, caused by some monkey monster which I hurriedly stopped so that it won't spread.

Remembering all of that, I suffered a lot. Even on a broad day, there are still monsters that attack.

I didn't even get some level up or that screen showing up with a ding noise. I'm really disappointed. Nothing changes in myself either.

There is also no status screen monitor or whatever. I've tried several times spewing ‘Status’ at a blank space but nothing shows up. Or maybe this world has no features like this.

I also definitely cannot appraise myself because I cannot see my whole body view like what a third person’s perspective does.

I also tried to ask them to use appraisal on me but they said it wouldn't work. I even tried to deactivate ‘Secrecy’ but the outcome was still the same.

I guess this world only has the maximum level of 10 and it's pretty dull. The hp level and mp also disappeared above my head long ago when I reached level ten

Without those letters and status floating up above me, it looks like I'm in an ordinary world.

Then, I should tell Sebris and Haruke that we are all leaving this house and going to the capital.

“Everyone, we will—

I paused for a moment when Sebris was smiling at me out of nowhere.

“Master, we already know.” She said politely with her mouth tucked closed, smiling.

I forgot that they're connected with me through my strings.
