Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest - Chapter 220

-----

It is rather apparent already but there are many areas in this game world that are only accessible once you gain the trust of the NPC that rules or the group of NPCs that live in there. The Fairy Country is fairly known by the Player Base as a large hidden map in the Forest of Beginnings, but because many had tried but failed to get inside, it has already been mostly forgotten by the player base.

Being located in a starter map made it even less appealing to the players, so nobody has really cared much, even less when the news about a Player stealing the equipment there spread out. Being the only thing that drove some here, now that such valuable items were gone, nobody really cared about the fairies.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

I guess at the end, that's kind of a good thing. This way we can live more carefreely and in peace of not having to get annoyed by other Players coming here all the time seeking something.

Although after the four here realized the Queen could grant special Titles, Skills, and more through her Blessing, they immediately began to beg her for her Blessing to get that little boost. They were all Skill Collectors, a type of player that traveled around the game world interacting with famous NPCs to get the Skills or Titles they gift.

They had gotten a bunch, it seems, so they were quite confident they could convince Titania to give them a quest or something, but she was neglecting them easily, and quite honestly, I didn't wanted to try to convince her, I barely knew these people at the end.

"I'm sorry but I cannot really convince her to give you that. She's my new friend but I am not her master or something." I sighed. "It is all up to her. If she says she doesn't want to, then she doesn't want to. Don't force your way on people, it is very rude."

"My Blessings are not something I can just give to anybody. Planta and her friends healed my people from certain death and even defeated the Snake Queen that almost destroyed my country. She has done so much that even giving her and her friends a blessing is not enough. But you people seem to have come out of nowhere, and Planta doesn't recognize you either, so trying to tell me you're her old friends won't work." Said Titania rather strictly. She still wasn't fond of all players after all, its just that we were an exception for her.

Gandalf, Anikitty, Erdrich, and Angelina sighed, defeated and prostrating in the floor. They were there because they had even kneeled in front of her to ask for her blessing. They told me that it apparently worked for a lot of NPC, simply prostrating themselves in front of them and asking for their gifts would often trigger some sort of quest after the NPC would get dead tired of their annoying nature.

However, and unfortunately for them, Titania was way more strict with her own morals and the powers she granted to others.

"…Also, giving my Blessing to people cuts a piece of my soul, I can't do this leisurely. Part of the power that my allies here gained was because I literally gave them a piece of mine." Titania lamented. "Nevertheless, even though I can tell by looking at your hearts that you don't seem to harbor evil intentions against us, I will have to ask you to leave. It is very late in the night and my people is growing nervous of you being here."

"Hahh… We are really getting kicked out…" Sighed Gandalf.

"O-Okay, we get it. Don't get mad with us please…" Anikitty said.

"We are sorry for disturbing you." Erdrich apologized.

"Indeed, I am sorry. I hope that one day we can get along." Angelina apologized as well, the four people group quickly began to walk away.

"Aw geez… Titania did you had to be so rude?" I asked.

"I could tell you were nervous yourself. Were these people trying to convince you of something you didn't wanted, Planta?" Titania asked.

"Yeah… But I rejected them. They wanted me to join their guild, which is seeking this world's lore, history, and to advance the world's chapters." I said.

"World's Chapters? What's that?" She wondered.

I had to explain to her that every Player with the System were able to see these "chapters" advancing each time a special "World Quest" was completed. I told her the Mushroom Hero Dungeon and then this one with the Snake Queen were both World Quests, which at the same time also hurt the HP of the revived Demon King of Miasma.

Titania had a really hard time trying to understand everything, but at the end she seemed to get it, mildly at that. But she got it, nonetheless. She seemed rather happy to hear that the Demon King of Miasma was hit twice by me, although I did it without knowing nor realizing. The power of the System was truly something else by giving the power to just face slap the Demon King not once but twice and take out over 30% of his HP even when I wasn't even at the right level to get to his area and hurt him directly.

"This might be some sort of plan of these Gods or the System itself… Maybe the Players are failing at defeating the Demon King of Miasma due to lacking the specific Sacred Items necessary to actually damage him. And they're also doing it wrong, it is very clear their System is telling them that they must complete World Quests yet they're not doing it… I suppose you've become quite popular amongst their community." Said Titania. "Are you okay with this popularity though?"

"Quite honestly… no! I hate it! I don't like to stand out…" I sighed. "When I was in high school I always stood up due to my appearance, and people always bugged me and annoyed me. If it wasn't for my friends there, I would had probably been bullied to death…"

"Hmm, I see…" Titania looked at me with a bit of pity, patting my shoulder. "Well, that's on the past. Let's go back inside, if those people truly want to become your friends, they'll come back someday."

"Well, yeah, I already added them to my friend list." I said.

"Friend… list?" Titania had no idea of these things.
