[00:04] SIGN
    A Playthrough of a Certain DUDE's
    VRMMO LIFE
[01:37] SIGN
    Fairy-playah
[01:38] Earth
    It should be safe to talk here.
[01:41] Earth
    That's clearly some of the
    best equipment in the game.
[01:43] Earth
    He must be one of the game's top players,
     playing its toughest content!
[01:49] Silver
    I won't take up a lot of your time.
[01:53] Silver
    Have you ever met a man named Glad?
[01:59] Earth
    No.
[02:01] Silver
    I see.
[02:03] Silver
    I've heard a rumor that he's targeting
    players who have the "Fairy-playah" title,
[02:10] Silver
    and I thought he might've gone after you.
[02:13] Earth
    I'm sorry, but who is this Glad?
[02:16] Silver
    A former static member of my party.
[02:19] Silver
    We had issues with his behavior,
    but he was a very skilled tanker.
[02:26] Earth
    "Former" means he's no
    longer in your party, right?
[02:33] Silver
    You're observant.
[02:36] Silver
    Glad became arrogant and began to
    look down on the other members.
[02:41] Silver
    But when the current event began,
[02:46] Silver
    he was the only one to fail to
    make a contract with a fairy.
[02:50] Earth
    Just like me?
[02:53] Silver
    He became extremely upset, and began
    to take it out on the other members.
[02:58] Silver
    As leader, I had no choice but to banish him.
[03:04] Silver
    Though, the bigger problem is...
[03:07] Silver
    You can show yourself.
[03:12] Earth
    A light Valkyrie?
[03:15] Earth
    A perfect humanoid fairy...
[03:19] Silver
    Anything I do to try and make him feel
    better will just make him angrier.
[03:25] Silver
    After the last update, he was able
    to get a new contract crystal,
[03:29] Silver
    and make a contract with
    a darkness fox fairy.
[03:32] Silver
    He's going around challenging
    people to special PvP duels.
[03:35] Earth
    So, even after getting a fairy,
[03:37] Earth
    he still feels the humiliation
    he felt at the start?
[03:41] Silver
    He'll use the tournament on the last day
     of the event as a way to show his strength.
[03:47] Silver
    Please be careful and stay away from him.
[03:51] Earth
    Thanks for the warning.
[03:54] Silver
    I intend to take responsibility for this.
[03:56] Silver
    I'll have to scold him at
    the tournament, I think.
[04:05] Earth
    It's dangerous to just 
    believe one side of a story,
[04:08] Earth
    but I'll be careful.
[04:17] Earth
    It's against the terms of service
[04:19] Earth
    to challenge someone to PvP while
    they're fighting monsters.
[04:23] Earth
    Even if this Glad guy is after me,
[04:27] Earth
    as long as I'm hunting out here, I'm safe!
[04:44] Earth
    At this distance,
    there's time to fire again!
[04:46] Earth
    Arts! Mirror Arrow!
SIGN    Mirror Arrow
[05:11] Earth
    The new Bow art I learned is pretty helpful,
[05:16] Earth
    but it's still rough fighting
    a Wild Bear on my own...
[05:21] Earth
    But this is how I'm going to play.
[05:25] Earth
    This is what I want.

    Title: Fairy-playah
SIGN    Specialize
    
    This will cost 3 EXP.
    Are you sure?
[05:34] Earth
    Okay, I'll upgrade this to Kick Attack.
SIGN    Kick Attack
SIGN    Kick Attack
    
    You've learned Sliding Charge
    
    An art that allows you to hit
    the enemy with a sliding tackle,
    or rapidly escape from them.
[05:42] Earth
    My first kick art!
[05:45] Earth
    The update to the skill UI made it
    a lot easier to understand, too!
[05:55] Earth
    My first job for the day is to hunt
    for ore in the mines near Nexia.
[06:01] Earth
    My objective is to make
    steel and light metal.
[06:04] Earth
    There's something I want
    to try crafting with them.
[06:11] Earth
    Heave! Ho! Heave!
[06:18] Earth
    Watch out, everybody!
    I hit some explosive ore!
[06:35] Earth
    I got it! Sorry, guys!
[06:37] Players
    It's fine!
[06:39] Players
    Thanks for not letting it blow up!
[06:41] Players
    We all would've wound up dead
    if that thing had gone off.
[06:46] Players
    The area of effect on that
    thing is way too big.
[06:48] Players
    I wish they'd nerf it.
[06:50] Players
    Some people take advantage of that, though.
[06:53] Players
    The bomb masters, you could call 'em.
[07:04] Earth
    Blacks, I'm borrowing your smithy again.
[07:07] Blacks
    Oh, Earth.
[07:09] Blacks
    You got another weird thing you want to try?
[07:11] Earth
    "Weird"? That's rude.
[07:16] Blacks
    Well, good luck!
[07:19] Earth
    Now, then...
[07:23] Earth
    Today, I'm making a new
    arrowhead and a metal whip.
[07:27] Earth
    The arrowhead is twisted so
    it can dig into flesh easier.
SIGN    Twisted-Blade Dagger
[07:30] Earth
    I got the idea from an item
    called a twisted-blade dagger.
[07:37] Earth
    It's hard to get the twist right.
[07:41] Earth
    Okay, one more time!
[07:49] Earth
    I think I've got it!
[07:51] Earth
    I've finally been able to add a
    status debuff to an arrow itself!
SIGN    Twister Arrow
    Its arrowhead is improved by twisting it halfway, making it easier to pierce
    an opponent. However, this makes it much more expensive to craft. A hit
    with this will cause a "Laceration" debuff, which reduces enemy HP over time.
[07:55] Earth
    That makes it much stronger!
[07:56] Earth
    Now for the whip!
[08:29] Blacks
    Is that the finished product?
[08:31] Earth
    Yes. I made the whole
    thing out of light metal!
[08:35] Blacks
    I see!
SIGN    Triangle Blade Whip
    A brutal whip lined with numerous thin, scale-like blades. 
    The blades will constrict and damage the unfortunate victim.
    When an opponent is bound, they will continually receive damage.
[08:37] Blacks
    Light metal is light and supple like bamboo,
[08:40] Blacks
    so I was thinking that if you stretched
    it out, you could make it into a whip.
[08:43] Blacks
    It must've taken a lot of work, though!
[08:46] Earth
    My arms are so stiff I can't lift them!
[08:51] Earth
    I'll be heading out for the day.
[08:53] Blacks
    Okay, bye!
[09:00] Earth
    Hello? I'd like to borrow a spot
    to work on some explosive ore...
[09:07] Alchemist
    Sure, just use the room downstairs.
[09:13] Earth
    I didn't know the
     formulation shop had a basement.
[09:17] Earth
    But even if I fail down here,
    it won't bother anybody!
[09:22] Earth
    The risk it'll blow up on me is too big
    for me to be able to use it right now.
[09:27] Earth
    But I don't want to just throw
    away such a powerful item.
[09:31] Earth
    I'll see how far I can get
    with my Medicine skill...
[09:37] Earth
    But in the real world, 
    I'm not a technical person at all.
[09:41] Earth
    It's exhausting to have to
    actually think for once.
[09:45] Earth
    I started by mixing in so me oil and
    herbs along with a piece of the ore
[09:50] Earth
    to adjust the speed at
    which it ignites, but...
[09:59] Earth
    But if I want to find the best ratios,
     I'll need to experiment!
[10:03] Earth
    I'll start with A!
[10:10] Earth
    It didn't ignite. That's a failure.
[10:13] Earth
    Now, B!
[10:24] Earth
    That took 80% of my HP!
[10:28] Earth
    It's too powerful.
[10:30] Earth
    But maybe I could use it to take a monster
    down with me if I were about to die?
SIGN    Hell Mine Oil
    A dangerous oil that has such a wide area of effect
    that the person who threw it will get caught in the blast.
    Best used in traps.
[10:35] Earth
    I'll name it Hell Mine Oil, I guess.
[10:42] Earth
    Okay!
[10:44] Earth
    Lastly, the C oil!
[10:47] Earth
    Please work!
[10:53] Earth
    This is it!
[10:54] Earth
    That's the ratio I want!
[10:55] Earth
    I'll make a bunch of this one!
SIGN    Enhanced Oil
    Creates a pillar of flame when the bottle shatters.
    Anyone within the area of effect will take a large
    amount of damage and suffer the status effect "Burns".
[11:05] Earth
    Veni Gutadia Acrus Ratula!
[11:08] Earth
    Wind Cutter!
[11:21] Earth
    The oil made this a lot easier!
[11:25] Earth
    I can't raise my skills if I rely
    on it too much, but still...
SIGN    Your Hunting Bow skill
    has reached Lv50.
    
    You have learned Gatling Arrow.
SIGN    Your Wind Magic skill has reached Lv50.
    You have learned Fly.
[11:34] Earth
    Nice!
SIGN    Your Wind Magic skill has reached Lv50.
    You have learned Fly.
SIGN    You have reached Lv50 in both
    Hunting Bow and Wind Magic.
    You have unlocked the ability to
    combine the two into the specialized
    skill Aeolian Dust Hunting Bow.
    
    If you do this, you will learn the
    unique Aeolian Dust Hunting Bow art,
    but lose the ability to increase your
    high-rank Hunting Bow and
    Wind Magic skills.
[11:39] Earth
    "Aeolian Dust Hunting Bow"...
[11:42] Earth
    An elemental weapon art that lets you
    add magical properties to a weapon.
[11:47] Earth
    I'm interested in more powerful wind magic,
[11:50] Earth
    but to me, magic is just a support skill.
[11:53] Earth
    I'm just going to believe that wind and
    bows are a good combination, and say yes.
SIGN    This decision is absolutely
    irrevocable! Are you sure?
[12:01] Earth
    They really want to make sure I'm sure, huh?
SIGN    This decision is absolutely
    irrevocable! Are you sure?
[12:05] Earth
    Now then, time to check out my new art...
[12:10] Earth
    Gatling Arrow!
SIGN    Gatling Arrow
[12:16] Earth
    I can fire in bursts!
[12:21] Earth
    I guess the most I can do is
    two at a time at this level.
[12:24] Earth
    And my other one is...
[12:27] Earth
    Ad Caelum!
[12:29] Earth
    Fly!
SIGN    Fly
[12:35] Earth
    Wind support magic?
    That looks really helpful!
[12:42] Myun
    You got a whole bunch today, huh?
[12:44] Myun
    You want me to make a
     leather cape with this, right?
[12:47] Earth
    Yeah. I want to reduce how much
    damage I take from the rear.
[12:51] Myun
    I'm on it.
[12:54] Earth
    Fanfare?
[12:55] GM
    An announcement for all players
    of One More Free Life Online!
[13:00] GM
    We are now concluding the scoring
    for the Fairy PvP event!
[13:04] Zwei
    Hey, Earth!
[13:06] Earth
    Hey!
[13:07] GM
    I repeat.
[13:08] Zwei
    Nobody from our guild really
    spent a lot of time on this.
[13:08] GM
    We are now concluding the scoring
    for the Fairy PvP event!
[13:11] Zwei
    I doubt anybody made it into the tournament.
[13:13] Earth
    There are only 16 slots.
    I wouldn't worry about it.
[13:17] GM
    And now, we'll announce the players who
    earned the right to be in the final tournament!
SIGN    Silver
SIGN    Glad
[13:23] Millie
    Two of them have a way higher win rate and
    number of battles fought than the others.
[13:27] Earth
    Yeah. That's incredible.
[13:30] Earth
    Silver and Glad.
[13:32] Earth
    After hearing what Silver had to say,
    I'm worried about their relationship,
[13:36] Earth
    but I can't control my desire
    to see their battle!
[13:46] GM
    Thank you, everyone, for coming
    to our special tournament server!
[13:54] GM
    We hope you enjoy the show!
[13:57] SIGN
    Fairy-playah
[13:57] Millie
    Wow. I bet most of the game's
    players are here today.
[14:03] Earth
    If there are this many people here...
[14:05] Earth
    I'll use my Long-Distance Vision!
SIGN    Fairy-playah
SIGN    Fairy-playah
[14:13] Earth
    I knew there'd be people
    here who knew my pain!
[14:16] GM
    Let the first battle begin!
[14:26] Zwei
    Their levels are so high that
    the fights are awesome!
[14:29] Zwei
    I think their fairies have
    evolved a bunch of times, too.
[14:32] Earth
    Yeah.
[14:35] Earth
    Even if I entered, I'd be lucky 
    to win 10% of my matches.
[14:44] GM
    Match set!
[14:50] Earth
    Particles of light went from the
    losing fairy to the winning one?
[14:54] Earth
    That effect didn't exist during Fairy PvP.
[14:58] Earth
    What's going on?
[15:11] Earth
    I should've known it'd be
    these two in the final match.
[15:14] Silver
    We finally meet, Glad.
[15:20] Glad
    Give it up, old man.
[15:22] Glad
    Or is there still something you want to say?
[15:24] Silver
    There's nothing I want to say.
[15:26] Silver
    But... I must make you mend your ways.
[15:28] Glad
    Make me mend my ways? How so?
[15:31] Silver
    By breaking you!
[15:33] Glad
    Fine. Come and get me!
[15:40] Glad
    Your ax distracts the enemy
    while you knock them off-balance.
[15:42] Glad
    I've seen that trick a ton of times!
[15:55] Zwei
    Wow.
[15:57] Millie
    So that's what a top player looks like, huh?
[16:00] Earth
    Silver said he'd take responsibility.
[16:04] Earth
    But...
[16:12] Silver
    Moon Crescent!
SIGN    Moon Crescent
[16:17] Silver
    What?
[16:19] Earth
    He dodged with Wind Boost?
[16:21] Earth
    He knows Wind Magic?
[16:23] Glad
    You fell for it, old man!
[16:25] Glad
    You can't dodge me mid-air!
[16:27] Glad
    Cross Line!
[16:28] [SONG] Glad
    Cross Line
[16:38] GM
    The match is over!
[16:40] GM
    The winner is Glad!
[16:43] Glad
    We're even now, old man.
[16:46] Zwei
    The two of them looked like they
    were about the same strength...
[16:49] Earth
    I guess he was more obsessed with victory.
[16:52] Earth
    Huh?
[17:01] Glad
    You evolved, huh?
[17:02] Glad
    I hope you're worth something.
[17:07] Fairy Queen
    I refuse.
[17:09] Fairy Queen
    I refuse to allow you in my
    presence for another moment.
[17:12] Glad
    What? What do you mean?
[17:15] Fairy Queen
    First, listen to me.
[17:17] Fairy Queen
    The purpose of this event was to select
    the next ruler of the fairies.
[17:23] Fairy Queen
    We were given a prophecy
    that told us our next ruler
[17:27] Fairy Queen
    should be someone strong and
     well-versed in the arts of war.
[17:30] Glad
    So what?
[17:32] Fairy Queen
    Fairies are not warlike creatures.
[17:36] Fairy Queen
    Thus, we decided to learn how to fight
    from humans, the masters of war.
[17:40] Fairy Queen
    The winner of a fight would inherit
    the experiences of the loser,
[17:43] Fairy Queen
    until only one was left,
    who would become our ruler.
[17:46] Fairy Queen
    And that was me.
[17:47] Glad
    And so as soon as you're done
    with us, you're ditching us?
[17:50] Glad
    How convenient for you.
[17:52] Fairy Queen
    I don't think the others will be leaving.
[17:56] Fairy Queen
    I'm leaving you because our
    contract is at an end.
[18:00] Fairy Queen
    Remember what you always said?
[18:02] Fairy Queen
    "I'm gonna get even with that old geezer!
    I'll have my revenge!"
[18:06] Fairy Queen
    And you just got it!
[18:08] Glad
    So I meant nothing to you.
[18:11] Fairy Queen
    Did I mean anything to you?
[18:13] Fairy Queen
    I was never your partner.
[18:16] Fairy Queen
    I was just a tool.
[18:18] Fairy Queen
    So I used you as a tool
    to help me become queen.
[18:23] Glad
    Cut the crap! I'm not your tool!
[18:26] Fairy Queen
    And I'll say those exact words to you!
[18:30] Fairy Queen
    I'm not your tool.
[18:32] Fairy Queen
    To you, this world may be a game.
[18:35] Fairy Queen
    But it's real to me!
[18:38] Millie
    That Fairy Queen is talking
    like she's a real person.
[18:44] Earth
    Yeah, it doesn't seem like just an AI.
[18:47] Earth
    Is she some experiment or research project?
[18:50] Earth
    No, it'd be rude to start asking questions
    like that. I'll just forget it.
[18:53] Fairy Queen
    I'll give you a reward.
[18:55] Fairy Queen
    Three hundred thousand gloh, in addition
    to the prize for winning the tournament.
[18:58] Fairy Queen
    I'll also make sure you get
    a contract with a fairy
[19:01] Fairy Queen
    that was as strong as me before I evolved.
[19:04] Fairy Queen
    You want somebody obedient, right?
[19:06] Glad
    I refuse to accept that!
[19:07] Fairy Queen
    Oh, are you going to resort to force?
[19:10] Fairy Queen
    If you can defeat me, I'll accept
    your strength and accompany you.
[19:14] Fairy Queen
    But if you lose, you won't get
    the extra money or the fairy.
[19:18] Fairy Queen
    You can't step up to the table unless
    you're willing to bet something.
[19:22] Fairy Queen
    That's your human rule, right?
[19:24] Glad
    Come on, fight me!
    I'll make you obey me once more!
[19:29] Fairy Queen
    Let's begin, then.
[19:34] Fairy Queen
    Earthquake.

[19:36] Glad

    You have one HP left.
[20:55] Fairy Queen
    Will you still fight?
[21:00] Fairy Queen
    That should've served to break his pride.
[21:06] Fairy Queen
    I'll let you take over.
[21:08] Silver
    Thank you.
[21:13] Silver
    I should've been the one
    to do this for you...
[21:20] Fairy Queen
    And there are still three who need a reward!
[21:33] Fairy Queen
    Thank you for refusing to fight,
[21:36] Earth
    even though it meant giving up on
    a chance to evolve your fairy!
[21:40] Earth
    Evolution was supposed to
    be a reward for battling,
[21:43] Earth
    but I wanted some of us
    to not have to battle.
[21:46] Earth
    As a thank you,
    I'll increase your fairies' ranks.
[21:51] Earth
    And as for you...

    You're going to fight me!
