SIGN    A Playthrough of a Certain DUDE's
    VRMMO LIFE
[01:31] Daichi
    Several days have passed since the
    incident where the potions disappeared.
[01:35] Daichi
    The world of the game has
    changed, just a bit.
[01:40] Daichi
    Medicine is no longer
    considered a useless skill.
[01:46] Daichi
    Learning that the NPCs
    can run out of inventory
[01:49] Daichi
    caused players to rethink
    the Medicine skill.
[01:58] Daichi
    Now, what to do today?
[02:04] Zwei
    Hey, Earth.
[02:05] Earth
    Hey, Zwei. I hadn't realized
    you were a guild master.
[02:09] Earth
    Thanks for the invite!
[02:11] Zwei
    Sure. These are the members of Blue Color.
[02:15] Zwei
    Hm... you know Millie, right?
[02:18] Millie
    Hi there!
[02:19] Nora
    I'll introduce myself first, then.
[02:23] Nora
    I'm Nora.
[02:24] Nora
    I mostly do melee combat with short swords.
[02:29] Zwei
    Earth!
[02:31] Zwei
    Make sure you don't say words like "flat"
    or "smooth" or "cutting board" around her.
[02:38] Earth
    Got it...
[02:40] Rage
    I'm Rage!
[02:41] Rage
    I'm a tanker, and I use a
    one-handed ax and a shield.
[02:44] Rage
    Let me aggro the enemies!
[02:48] Kazamine
    And lastly, there's me.
[02:50] Kazamine
    I'm Kazamine. I'm a swordsman
    who uses a bastard sword.
[02:54] Earth
    I'm Earth. My weapon is...
[02:56] Nora
    I know your weapon! You're an archer, right?
[02:59] Rage
    Everybody's talking about you.
[03:02] Zwei
    'Cause of this!
SIGN    How can he win with such a crap weapon?
[03:07] Zwei
    That chef is super-strong.
[03:09] Zwei
    FYI for anyone watching, bows are super hard to use
[03:12] Earth
    I guess I really stood out for that, but...
[03:15] Earth
    He was just a low-skill player.
    I didn't want to stand out like that.
[03:20] Earth
    Okay, I guess I don't need to
    introduce myself then, but... um...
[03:25] Zwei
    What's wrong?
[03:27] Earth
    Four melee fighters,
    one mage, and an archer...
[03:32] Earth
    That's not a very well-balanced party, right?
[03:34] Nora
    Millie can use more than one element.
[03:38] Nora
    And I can use healing magic.
[03:40] Earth
    I see.
[03:42] Earth
    So you can fight at melee range
    and also provide support.
[03:45] Nora
    Yup.
[03:46] Earth
    So, what's our target for the day?
[03:48] Rage
    We're going after a Wild Bear.
[03:51] Earth
    A Wild Bear? That's a tough opponent.
[03:55] Zwei
    Well, we're strong enough
    that I think we can take it.
[03:59] Earth
    Where is that confidence coming from?
[04:04] Zwei
    'Cause we've got you, Earth!
[04:06] Earth
    You're expecting me to win for you?
[04:08] All
    Yup!
[04:08] Earth
    Don't agree with him!
[04:11] Earth
    I've never fought a Wild Bear.
[04:13] Earth
    I heard they're fast and smart,
    and really hard to beat.
[04:20] Zwei
    And when we're done,
    Earth will cook something delicious for us all!
[04:25] All
    Yup!
[04:26] Earth
    I'm cooking, too?!
[04:27] Zwei
    Is everybody ready, then?
[04:29] Zwei
    Let's get going!
[04:31] All
    Yeah!
[04:33] Earth
    Were you even listening?
SIGN    Episode 2
SIGN    Earth Joins His First Party
[04:55] Zwei
    Well? See any?
[04:57] Earth
    Yeah. I do... But most
    of them are in groups.
[05:04] Earth
    There's one in front of us that's by itself.
[05:06] Earth
    Let's pull it!
[05:07] Zwei
    Okay, we'll lure it to someplace
    where we have the advantage.
[05:12] Kazanami
    Long-Distance Vision's very handy, isn't it?
[05:14] Kazanami
    I'm glad we had Earth come with us.
[05:17] Rage
    Yeah.
[05:18] Zwei
    See? He's really helpful, right?
[05:21] Earth
    You don't get to brag about me.
[05:23] Zwei
    Millie, buffs.
[05:26] Millie
    Okay!
[05:27] Millie
    Aqua Ayuda Anima!
[05:34] Earth
    I'm going to split off from the
    group and use my Sneak skill.
[05:37] Zwei
    Okay.
[05:45] Zwei
    Hawk Shot!
[05:51] Zwei
    Confirmed hit!
[05:56] Zwei
    It's c-coming!
[05:57] Rage
    I'm on it!
[05:58] Rage
    I'll taunt it!
[06:01] Rage
    Activating Aggro Control art "Taunt!"
SIGN    Taunt
[06:10] Earth
    During combat,
[06:11] Earth
    monsters have a hidden parameter called
    "aggro" that shows who they're angry at.
[06:16] Earth
    Rage is a tank with a high defense,
[06:18] Earth
    so he'll direct the enemy's anger
    towards him, and protect us.
[06:19] Rage
    Over here!
[06:24] Earth
    And while he's doing that, I'll aim
    at the monster from a safe place!
[06:33] Millie
    El Re Cura Per!
[06:35] Millie
    Light Healing!
[06:38] Rage
    Thanks, Millie!
[06:39] Nora
    Don't you dare drop aggro on me!
[06:42] Nora
    Art: Backstab!
[06:43] [SONG] Sign
    Backstab
[06:46] Nora
    Its skin is too tough!
    My short sword can't penetrate it!
[06:50] Zwei
    It is tough!
[06:53] Millie
    I'll fire off a spell, too!
[06:55] Millie
    Aster Es Flamma! Fire Lance!
SIGN    Fire Lance
[07:06] Millie
    Uh-oh.
[07:07] Rage
    I'm not done with you yet!

    Aqua Cure
[07:22] Kazamine
    I didn't think it would be this tough...
[07:25] Zwei
    I guess I underestimated it...
[07:28] Nora
    I think I'm running low on MP!
[07:30] Earth
    This is turning bad, fast!
[07:32] Earth
    I need to make a quick, decisive call!
[07:36] Earth
    I'll believe in my 38 years of life
    experience, and make a risky bet!
[07:42] Earth
    I'll aim right between its eyes,
    which is probably its weak spot!
[07:46] Earth
    I've got just one chance.
[07:48] Earth
    If I can't pull this off,
    then I don't belong in this party!
[07:56] Earth
    Did I get it?
[08:00] Earth
    What?
[08:01] Earth
    I was sure I hit its weak point!
[08:04] Earth
    Did I not do enough damage?
[08:06] Earth
    Oh, no... We'll all be wiped out!
[08:09] Rage
    Damn it! Come get me!
[08:13] Zwei
    How much HP does it have?
[08:15] Earth
    I'll have to play...
[08:18] Earth
    my final card!
[08:18] Rage
    Hey!
[08:19] Zwei
    Earth!
[08:20] Zwei
    Secare Ventus!
[08:21] Zwei
    Wind Booster!
[08:24] Zwei
    The spell I learned at
    Wind Magic level 15...
[08:27] Zwei
    For just 10 seconds...
[08:29] Zwei
    It gives a huge boost to move speed!
[08:32] Zwei
    Take this!
[08:36] Zwei
    Millie! Finish it!
[08:38] Zwei
    Aster Es Flamma! Fire Lance!
[08:51] Earth
    We finally got it, huh?
[08:55] Nora
    Honestly, that was tough.
[08:57] Nora
    Zwei...
[08:58] Zwei
    I'm sorry. I didn't think
    it would be this bad.
[09:02] Earth
    Now, now...
[09:04] Earth
    Let's have something to eat.
[09:07] Earth
    I brought a new dish we can all try.
[09:09] All
    I've been waiting for this!
SIGN    
    Effect: Move Speed Boost (Long Duration) Score: 8
[09:20] Rage
    This is great.
[09:22] Nora
    I'm happy 'cause I love meat!
[09:25] Kazanami
    It just looks like meat on a stick, but you
    spent a long time preparing this, didn't you?
[09:29] Millie
    The lemon juice brings
    out a nice clean flavor,
[09:33] Millie
    and the smell of the herbs
    gets rid of the gamy taste!
[09:37] Zwei
    How come I just get bread from the market?!
[09:39] Earth
    'Cause you love comedy, Zwei.
    I figured you'd see the humor in it.
[09:43] Zwei
    I do not!
[09:45] Earth
    Oh, fine.
[09:47] Earth
    Now that the joke's over...
[09:50] Zwei
    Yay!
[09:52] Nora
    Hey, Earth, are recipes
    for cooking expensive?
[09:55] Earth
    I wouldn't say expensive...
    you just can't buy them.
[09:59] Rage
    Huh? Why not?
[10:01] Earth
    There's this unspoken rule among
    crafters that you don't trade recipes.
[10:08] Kazamine
    And why is that?
[10:10] Earth
    One reason is that coming up with a
    recipe takes a ton of time and money.
[10:16] Earth
    And the second reason is that two
    people making the same recipe
[10:19] Earth
    can end up with products of
    wildly different quality.
[10:22] Millie
    Even with the same ingredients?
[10:25] Earth
    Yes.
[10:26] Earth
    Recipes are the product of the hard work
    and creativity of the people who made them.
[10:29] Earth
    You can copy the recipe itself,
    but you can't copy the quality.
[10:34] Earth
    That's the conclusion
    everyone came to, I guess.
[10:36] Nora
    I see.
[10:38] Nora
    So even if I bought the recipe for
     these yummy kabobs from you,
[10:42] Nora
    I wouldn't be able to make them?
[10:44] Rage
    Yes, that's what it means.
[10:48] Zwei
    Then, from now on, let's have
    Earth cook for us for really cheap!
[10:52] Earth
    Hey, where did that come from?
[10:54] Zwei
    Everybody, you're all really glad
    Earth joined our party, right?
[10:58] All
    Yup!
[11:00] Earth
    Listen to me!
[11:02] Zwei
    All right, now that that's settled,
[11:04] Zwei
    I think that's enough
    adventuring for one day!
[11:06] All
    Yup!
[11:08] Zwei
    Let's head back, everyone!
[11:09] All
    Yup!
[11:11] Earth
    Listen to me...
SIGN    Friend List
SIGN    Add Friend
[11:14] Rage
    Earth, can I send a friend request?
[11:17] Nora
    Me, too!
[11:18] Kazamine
    I'd like to send one, as well.
[11:20] Earth
    My first adventure with a party
    in this world was a success!
[11:27] Earth
    I screwed up!
[11:30] Earth
    As for how this happened...
[11:36] (Flashback) Earth
    Okay!
[11:43] (Flashback) Earth
    The forest in the fifth area, huh?
[11:45] (Flashback) Earth
    I think I'm ready for it!
[12:03] (Flashback) Earth
    Crap!
[12:04] (Flashback) Earth
    That's a rock ant with a link ability!
[12:07] (Flashback) Earth
    It's going to call its buddies!
[12:14] (Flashback) Earth
    I've got no choice but to fight!
[12:23] (Flashback) Earth
    It reflects damage, too?
[12:26] (Flashback) Earth
    I can't move!
[12:30] (Flashback) Earth
    M-My body's going numb!
[12:35] (Flashback) Earth
    I'm doomed!
[12:42] Earth
    And thus, I took a penalty from
    dying and was warped back to town.
[12:49] Earth
    I got my butt kicked, but it's
    my fault for being arrogant.
[12:54] Earth
    I'll just have to do better next time.
[12:58] Earth
    First update?

[13:02] Earth
    This is an important message for all
    players of One More Free Life Online...
[13:11] Earth
    The message was about a major update
    that was coming called "The Fairy Ball."
[13:17] Earth
    There would be new skills and arts,
    more items to craft...
[13:23] Earth
    And also fairies who could
    support us as we played!
[13:31] Adventurers
    Hey, this is...
[13:33] Adventurers
    This is definitely gonna be a
    "brawl," not a "ball," right?
SIGN    Ball
SIGN    Brawl
[13:41] Earth
    The other players are going to
    be leveling up, too, though.
[13:45] Earth
    I can't get hit with any
    more penalties from dying.
[13:50] Earth
    I worked my way out from under the
     heavy penalty, and learned blacksmithing.
[13:55] Earth
    I decided to make an arrowhead that
    could pierce the rock ant's skin.
[14:00] Earth
    First, I got two types of iron.
[14:04] Earth
    One was basic iron for piercing.
[14:09] Earth
    The second was intended
    as a bludgeoning weapon.
[14:11] Earth
    I used a purer form of iron for that.
[14:15] Earth
    I used the most popular shape, a
    triangular pyramid with indentations on the back.
SIGN    
    By attaching this to a Wooden Arrow,
    you can create an Iron Arrow.
    Effect: Additional Atk + 6
[14:20] Earth
    Adding this iron arrowhead to a wooden arrow
    creates an iron arrow with 7 attack.
[14:31] Earth
    Then I made a mace-like
    arrowhead out of purer iron.
SIGN    
     By attaching this to a Wooden Arrow,
    you can create a Heavy Blunt Arrow.
     Additional Atk +8
[14:35] Earth
    I think these are all
    the items I want for now.
[14:41] Earth
    Now I need something to
    help with my kicks.
[14:45] Earth
    I'll probably see other monsters that
    reflect kick damage, like the rock ant.
[14:51] Earth
    And kicking doesn't let you
    equip a weapon, so it's weak.
[14:55] Earth
    To solve these two problems...
[14:59] Earth
    I'll add seven thick, short spikes
    to the bottom of my boots.
[15:03] Earth
    And maybe a blade on the side?
[15:07] Earth
    What shape should the blade take?
[15:10] Earth
    I could base it off a
     kukri knife or a jambiya...
[15:17] Earth
    Like this, maybe?
[15:19] Blacks
    What are you going to do with that?
[15:21] Earth
    Just you wait and see, Blacks!
[15:24] Blacks
    I can't even imagine what
    you'd use it for, though.
SIGN    
    Effect: Atk+12 Additional Defense +2
    Special Effect: Reduces reflect damage from kick.
    Increases weight.
[15:28] Earth
    It's done.
[15:33] Blacks
    So this is the finished product, huh?
[15:36] Earth
    For now, yeah.
[15:37] Earth
    But...
[15:39] Earth
    I've still got to actually use it if
    I want to know how it can be improved.
[15:43] Blacks
    I've never seen anyone make an
    item that helps with kicks.
[15:46] Earth
    Cool, huh?
[15:47] Players
    Look at that!
[15:51] Players
    Brutal, huh?
[15:53] Players
    The weapon of a weirdo!
[15:55] Players
    Are they boots or weapons?
[15:58] Earth
    They're both!
[15:59] Players
    That's such a cool idea!
[16:01] Players
    Right?
[16:08] Myun
    Okay, here you go!
[16:13] Myun
    Those are some scary-looking
    shoes you've got there.
[16:16] Myun
    Are you going to cut something with them?
[16:18] Earth
    Oh, these are more for
    shaving down than cutting.
[16:22] Myun
    That's even more brutal!
[16:24] Myun
    And I thought you were just a chef!
[16:27] Earth
    I don't have a choice, Myun!
    I need them!
[16:30] Earth
    Thanks for the bowstrings. Bye!
[16:34] Earth
    Now for my bow...
[16:35] Earth
    My Archery level has reached 30,
    so I guess I'll specialize.
[16:42] Earth
    I have three choices:
    Shortbow, longbow, and hunting bow.
[16:47] Earth
    Shortbows are easy to use,
    but they have a limited range.
[16:51] Earth
    They're not good for me,
    since I'm not a melee fighter.
[16:54] Earth
    Longbows have range and power,
    but take a long time to fire.
[16:59] Earth
    They're not good for solo players.
[17:01] Earth
    Which means I should
     probably pick the hunting bow,
[17:05] Earth
    since it's got the same range and
    power as what I've been using.
SIGN    Earth used 3 Exp Points
    to specialize his Lv 30 Archery skill
    into Lv 1 Hunting Bow!
[17:13] Earth
    It's a more powerful skill,
     so I'll get more of an attack bonus.
[17:18] Earth
    Okay, time to get to work on the bow!
[17:25] Earth
    I like it!
[17:35] Blacks
    Making something again?
[17:38] Earth
    Yeah. A bow.
[17:40] Blacks
    That's your bow?
[17:42] Blacks
    That ain't like any bow I've ever seen.
[17:46] Earth
    It's fun to make things that couldn't
    possibly exist in the real world.
[17:50] Blacks
    Yeah.
[17:51] Blacks
    That's the best part of
    being a craftsperson, right?
[17:55] Earth
    Okay, it's done!
[17:58] Sign
    X-type compound hunting bow
    Effect: Atk+32
[17:58] Earth
    I'll call it the X-type
    compound hunting bow!
[18:02] Earth
    It needs more strength to
    pull than my old bow, but...
[18:07] Earth
    Okay!
[18:08] Earth
    It feels great to fire!
[18:10] Earth
    And it's a lot more powerful
    than the last one!
[18:24] Earth
    Thanks for everything.
[18:26] Earth
    You helped me out a lot.
[18:29] Earth
    Tomorrow, I'll try my new one out!
[18:50] Earth
    All right, he's not linked to any other ones!
[18:55] Earth
    Arrow Twister!
[19:02] Earth
    Now!
[19:09] Earth
    Heck yeah!
[19:20] Earth
    I've got my revenge!
[19:23] Earth
    The ant exoskeleton can be used
    for crafting light armor.
[19:27] Earth
    Maybe I'll have the armor merchant,
    Myun, take it off my hands.
SIGN    Attention All Players
     The Fairy Ball is about to begin.
     The first half will involve making
    a contract with a fairy.
[19:35] Announcement
    Attention all players.
[19:37] Announcement
    The Fairy Ball is about to begin.
[19:41] Announcement
    The first half will involve
    making a contract with a fairy.
[19:49] Earth
    So this is a Contract Crystal, huh?
[19:51] Earth
    As an archer, I hope I get to make
    a contract with a wind fairy.
[19:56] Earth
    I wonder what I'll get, though?

    I don't think there are any monsters here...

[20:26] Earth
    No way...
[20:31] Zwei
    Hey, Earth, you busy?
[20:36] Zwei
    What? You failed to make
    a contract with a fairy?
[20:43] Earth
    What about you, Zwei?
[20:44] Zwei
    Oh, I got him.
[20:49] Earth
    And everybody else?
[20:53] Kazamine
    I never thought somebody I knew
    would fail to make a contract.
[20:58] Millie
    But it's still too early to give up!
[21:03] Millie
    The announcement said "first half."
[21:08] Millie
    That means there's probably
    a second half, right?
[21:13] Earth
    That's true!
[21:15] Millie
    And also...
[21:18] Millie
    The broken item didn't disappear.
[21:23] Millie
    Which means you've got one
    more chance, maybe, right?
[21:27] Nora
