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!
[07:09] Rage
    Activating Taunt!
[07:17] Nora
    El Lebertelle!

    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.

     The Fairy Ball is about to begin.
     The first half will involve making

    The Fairy Ball is about to begin.
[19:41] Announcement
    The first half will involve

[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?

    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.

[21:27] Nora
    That might be right!
[21:29] Millie
    I'm sure there's a good chance something
    will happen in the second half!
[21:35] Earth
    I see!
[21:38] Zwei

[21:50] Zwei

[21:52] Nora

[21:53] Rage

[22:04] Earth
    I hope I get another chance.
