SIGN    Starting Town

[00:07] Mob A
    Awesome...
[00:09] Mob A
    That's gotta be high-level
    equipment... right?
[00:12] Mob B
    And that crest...
[00:14] Mob B
    It's from that achievement-focused
    clan, right?
[00:17] Mob A
    What's someone like that doing
    here in the starting town?

[00:25] Psyger-0
    I'd heard Hizutome-kun gives all
    his characters the same name,
[00:29] Psyger-0
    so I thought I'd be able to find him...
[00:32] Psyger-0
    Since there's no way a starting
    player wouldn't come to this town...
[00:53] Rei
    Maybe I just missed him.

[02:39] Sunraku
    Give me something to enjoy here,
[02:44] Sunraku
    SLF!
[02:57] Sunraku
    First, let's watch your patterns.
SIGN    Tap Step
    Adds a bonus to evasion.
[03:14] Sunraku
    It's still a boss for beginners.
[03:16] Sunraku
    Its movements are easy to read,
    and it won't have any
[03:20] Sunraku
    insta-kill moves!
[03:24] Sunraku
    I can beat this thing without taking a hit.
[03:27] Sunraku
    Since even one hit would kill me anyway!
[03:38] Sunraku
    I knew your durability was getting low,
[03:40] Sunraku
    but did you just break on your first hit?!
[03:44] Sunraku
    I was getting attached to
    these little guys, too!
[03:48] Sunraku
    A tough hide, eh?
[03:50] Sunraku
    In that case...
[03:55] Sunraku
    I've got something I'd like to try out.
[04:01] Sunraku
    I'll make you into snake fillets!
[04:05] Sunraku
    Screw Pi—
[04:16] Sunraku
    Wh-What the heck is this?
[04:18] Sunraku
    Poop?!

SIGN    Status Effect

SIGN    Take damage every ten seconds.
SIGN    Sunraku
SIGN    Poison
[04:23] Sunraku
    Well, hmm.
[04:25] Sunraku
    I might've underestimated this thing.
[04:30] Sunraku
    Well, don't you look proud of yourself?
[04:34] Sunraku
    I'll have you know,
[04:36] Sunraku
    I've beaten trash games with
    mechanics way cheaper than this.
[04:41] Sunraku
    A little poop-flinging won't
    be enough to get me down!
[04:48] Sunraku
    The poison deals me one
    damage every ten seconds.
SIGN    Sunraku
SIGN    Poison
[04:50] Sunraku
    Which means I've got about four minutes left.
[04:55] Sunraku
    I'll need a reliable way to land
    criticals if I wanna make it in time!
[05:00] Sunraku
    Criticals in this game
    don't trigger at random.
[05:04] Sunraku
    They seem to trigger when you
    land an attack in an ideal way,
[05:06] Sunraku
    or hit an enemy in their weak point.
[05:10] Sunraku
    This thing's covered in tough scales...
[05:13] Sunraku
    In other words, the only weak point
[05:14] Sunraku
    has gotta be the head!
SIGN    Sunraku
SIGN    Poison
[05:23] Sunraku
    Still, it's hard to land a hit there!
[05:25] Sunraku
    In that case...
[05:26] Sunraku
    I'll have to make my own weak point!
[05:33] Sunraku
    Screw Pierce!
[05:41] Sunraku
    Yes!
[05:42] Sunraku
    Now, stack more hits on the wound!
[05:47] Sunraku
    The defensive properties of
    a wounded section change,
[05:49] Sunraku
    allowing criticals to trigger there!
[05:54] Sunraku
    Now, just hack away until
    my stamina gives out!
[06:01] Sunraku
    Crud! I don't even know how
    much HP this thing has!
[06:05] Sunraku
    Am I even gonna make it?!
[06:11] Sunraku
    Yeah...
[06:13] Sunraku
    Beating Failia Chronicle 
    made me pretty cocky.
[06:18] Sunraku
    "It's just a mass-appeal game for casuals..."
[06:21] Sunraku
    "I can no-hit this thing easy,
    no need for recovery items..."
[06:24] Sunraku
    That's what I thought.
[06:28] Sunraku
    I was arrogant.
[06:35] Sunraku
    But...
[06:41] Sunraku
    Flash Counter!
SIGN    Shelve Weapon
[06:49] Sunraku
    You're not gonna eat me that easily!
[06:52] Sunraku
    You're gonna regret covering
    me with your poop!
[06:55] Sunraku
    Screw Pierce!
[07:17] Sunraku
    Heck yeah!
[07:19] Sunraku
    I freaking did it!
[07:21] Sunraku
    You see that, poopsnake?!
SIGN    Dropped Item
    Python Scale
SIGN    Dropped Item
    Python White Hair
[07:29] Sunraku
    I bet these dropped items
    could fetch some major dough!
SIGN    Sunraku
SIGN    Poison
[07:34] Sunraku
    Oh, crap! I'm still running out of time!
[07:37] Sunraku
    Is that all the loot it dropped?
[07:39] Sunraku
    I didn't miss anything?
[07:42] Sunraku
    I gotta distribute my level-up points...
[07:44] Sunraku
    No, there's no time!
[07:46] Sunraku
    Just dump it all into stamina and agility!
[07:50] Sunraku
    The minute I get to town,
    I'll buy an antidote...
[07:52] Sunraku
    Wait, I dunno where the shops are!
    I won't make it!
[07:55] Sunraku
    I'd better register my respawn point first!
[07:58] Sunraku
    That'd be an inn, right?
[08:00] Sunraku
    But I don't know where
    that is either, damn it!
[08:11] Reiji
    You want to tame a dog-type
    monster, right, Mia?
SIGN    Reiji
SIGN    Mia
SIGN    °Tame = To befriend and domesticate an animal
[08:14] Mia
    Yeah.
[08:15] Mia
    I'm not allowed to have pets in my apartment,
[08:18] Mia
    but I know you can have monsters
    as pets in this game...
[08:21] Mia
    So I hope you'll help me
    out today, Yamamoto-kun!
[08:25] Reiji
    After three months of trying,
[08:27] Reiji
    I finally got the girl I'm crushing
    on to start playing SLF with me!
[08:33] Reiji
    And I've maneuvered myself into the
    role of the advice-giving veteran!
[08:38] Reiji
    I can't let this chance pass me by!
[08:41] Mia
    Um... Yamamoto-kun?
[08:44] Reiji
    S-Sorry, it's nothing!
[08:48] Reiji
    Mia, game etiquette dictates that
    we don't use real-life names here.
[08:52] Reiji
    We use character names.
[08:54] Mia
    Oh, really?
[08:56] Mia
    Reiji-kun, then, right?
[08:58] Reiji
    Yes!
[08:59] Reiji
    I even got her calling me by my given name!
[09:02] Reiji
    I owe you big, SLF!
[09:05] Mia
    What's that?
[09:08] Mia
    A monster?!
[09:12] Reiji
    Wait, wait!
[09:13] Reiji
    It's got a character name!
[09:14] Reiji
    It's not a monster, it's a player!
SIGN    Sunraku
[09:17] Mia
    So I shouldn't attack?
[09:19] Reiji
    If you PK, you'll end up with
    a skull in front of your name!
SIGN    PK = Player Kill: To kill another player
SIGN    Mia
[09:25] Mia
    I wouldn't want that...
[09:27] Mia
    But what's he running like that for, then?
[09:31] Reiji
    I bet he got hit with that poison poop.
[09:33] Reiji
    Hey!
[09:35] Reiji
    You, over there! Sunraku!
[09:38] Reiji
    Keep going straight! That white
    building there is the inn!
SIGN    Inn
[09:41] Reiji
    But your respawn point won't register
    until you get into the bed,
[09:44] Reiji
    so be careful!
[09:47] Sunraku
    Thanks, man!
[09:50] Reiji
    You saw this a lot back
    when the game started,
[09:53] Reiji
    before there was a whole
    lot of fan documentation...
[09:55] Reiji
    Players who got poisoned by that snake
[09:57] Reiji
    and had to run full-tilt into town.
[10:01] Reiji
    Looking at the guy,
[10:03] Reiji
    I'm betting he's going for an agility build
    and sold off his armor at the start.
[10:06] Mia
    Reiji-kun, you sounded like a
    real veteran just now! I love it.
[10:11] Reiji
    You think?
[10:14] Reiji
    Thanks, Mr. Bluebird!
SIGN    Inn
[10:18] NPC Receptionist
    You want to stay the night, then?
[10:20] NPC Receptionist
    We provide places of sanctuary
    where pioneers can rest easy.
[10:27] NPC Receptionist
    For instance—
[10:28] Sunraku
    Skip the explanation and rent me a dang bed!
[10:31] NPC Receptionist
    Understood.
[10:32] NPC Receptionist
    I'll see if I can find you an free roo—
[10:33] Sunraku
    Hurry up!
[10:34] Sunraku
    Hur! Ry! Up!
[10:36] Sunraku
    I'm down to my last HP, here!
[10:39] NPC Receptionist
    Please proceed to room 102, then.
[10:40] Sunraku
    Right, thanks!
[10:43] Sunraku
    Heck yeah!
[10:48] Window Voice
    Respawn point registered.
[10:51] Sunraku
    Heck yeah!
SIGN    Respawn point registered.
SIGN    Sunraku
SIGN    Poison
[10:53] Sunraku
    I made i—
SIGN    Death Penalty
SIGN    All stats temporarily reduced.
[11:05] Rakuro
    That was close!
[11:06] Rakuro
    I made it just in time.
[11:09] Rakuro
    Still, I ended up dead.
[11:12] Rakuro
    I'm just glad I didn't lose my items.
[11:16] Rakuro
    That player who told me where the inn was...
[11:18] Rakuro
    I'm gonna have to thank him
    the next time I see him.
[11:21] Rakuro
    Still... SLF*, the god-tier game.
[11:24] Rakuro
    It's pretty darn cool!
SIGN    Town Before the Swamp

[11:37] Sunraku
    All righty...
[11:38] Sunraku
    Secondale here is my first
    SLF town experience.

[11:43] Sunraku
    I'll need a map, some recovery items,

    Florist
[11:45] Sunraku
    and new equipment.
[11:47] Sunraku
    I'll need a powerful main weapon
    to replace my Mercenary Twinblade!
[11:52] Sunraku
    I wanna give this thing
    all I've got, after all!
[11:54] Sunraku
    I'm gonna hit the top player ranks!
[11:58] Mob A
    Who is that half-naked bird-man?
[12:01] Mob B
    A player?
[12:02] Mob C
    Looks like a meme build or something.

    Scary!

    Maybe I'll pass.
[12:26] NPC Shopkeep
    Oh? A Goblin Hand Axe?
SIGN    Weapon Shop
[12:28] NPC Shopkeep
    You expect me to buy this garbage?
[12:31] Sunraku
    Yeah, I guess that figures.
[12:33] Sunraku
    Show me your lineup of weapons, then.
[12:35] NPC Shopkeep
    Sure thing.
SIGN    A sword forged from Gray Ore.
    A simple, straightforward weapon.
SIGN    Iron Dagger
SIGN    A dagger forged from Gray Ore.
    A simple, straightforward weapon.
SIGN    Iron Spear
SIGN    A hammer forged from Gray Ore.
    A simple, straightforward weapon.
SIGN    Wood Staff
SIGN    A staff made from wood.
    A simple, straightforward weapon.
SIGN    Stone Staff
[12:40] Sunraku
    Nothing too hot here.
SIGN    Fossil Rod
SIGN    A rod made from some kind of fossil.
    Extremely fragile.
SIGN    Wood Shield
SIGN    A shield made from wood.
    A simple, straightforward shield.
[12:42] Sunraku
    My Vorpal Choppers are way better.
[12:46] NPC Shopkeep
    Well, the Vorpal Chopper
    is a pretty rare weapon.
[12:50] Sunraku
    Oh, I was wondering about that.
[12:51] NPC Shopkeep
    If you want something to top
    that, I'd have to make it.
[12:55] Sunraku
    You can make me stuff?
[12:56] NPC Shopkeep
    If you bring me materials.
SIGN    Diremarsh Waste
SIGN    Secondale
[12:58] Narrator
    The path from Secondale to
    the third city, Thirdrema,
[13:03] Narrator
    passes through the Diremarsh Waste.
[13:06] sign
    Diremarsh Waste
[13:08] Narrator
    There's a location within
    it where ores can be mined.
[13:11] Sunraku
    So if I bring him some ore from
    here, he'll make me a weapon.
[13:16] Sunraku
    One, two...
SIGN    Stone
     A completely unremarkable piece of rock.
[13:22] Sunraku
    Another Stone?!
[13:24] Sunraku
    Where's all the stupid ore?!
[13:28] Sunraku
    He said I'd need five or six
    pieces to make a good weapon...
SIGN    Gray Ore
    Has no special characteristics,
    but can be put to various uses.
[13:33] Sunraku
    But I've been swinging this pickax for
    thirty minutes and I've only got two!
[13:37] Sunraku
    Plus the marsh mud makes it hard to move...
[13:40] Sunraku
    And this pickax I bought to do the mining...
[13:45] Sunraku
    is too darn heavy!
SIGN    Mud Frog
SIGN    It protects itself
    with a coating of mud
[13:55] Sunraku
    What do you want?
[13:57] Sunraku
    Buzz off already. I've got stuff to do!
[14:09] Sunraku
    Okay. I get the picture.
[14:12] Sunraku
    Since you weren't being aggressive,
    I thought we could coexist...
[14:16] Sunraku
    But if you wanna be turned
    into materials that bad,
[14:19] Sunraku
    I'll oblige!
[14:25] Sunraku
    How do you like that, dummy frog?!
[14:27] Sunraku
    Now I'll finish you off!
[14:31] Sunraku
    The Splitblade Leather armor I'm wearing now
[14:33] Sunraku
    is made from Mud Frog Skin,
    and it has slash resistance.
[14:37] Sunraku
    So it's pretty likely slash attacks
    won't work on froggy here, either.
[14:42] Sunraku
    Which means my only options are
    bludgeon and pierce attacks!
[14:46] Sunraku
    And so...
[14:47] Sunraku
    It's time for my Goblin Hand Axe,
[14:49] Sunraku
    whose edge is so blunt it actually
    deals bludgeon damage, to shine!
[14:57] Sunraku
    This is taking forever!
[14:59] Sunraku
    Why can't I run in this stupid marsh?!
[15:01] Narrator
    The marsh slows down player
    movement significantly,
[15:05] Narrator
    forcing them into a walking state.
[15:09] Sunraku
    With a body shape like that, I bet it
    can't get off its back very easily!
SIGN    Dropped Item
    Mud Frog Skin
[15:22] Sunraku
    That was so easy, it didn't even cheer me up.
[15:25] Sunraku
    Back to mining, I guess.
[15:28] Sunraku
    It's a pain, but...
[15:31] Mob Girl B
    It'll be fine.
[15:31] Sunraku
    I'm seeing more new players around...
[15:32] Mob Girl A
    There's no way we can do it at night.
[15:34] Mob Girl B
    Sure we can!
[15:35] Mob Girl A
    No way, no way!
[15:37] Mob Girl B
    We totally can! You can't be afraid to try!
[15:37] Sunraku
    I'll probably be seeing more soon,
    with summer break starting.
[15:40] Sunraku
    Which means it's only a matter of time
    before the race for materials begins.
[15:45] Sunraku
    If I don't wanna get caught up in that,
[15:47] Sunraku
    I'd better collect as much
    as I can, while I can!
[15:53] NPC Shopkeep
    W-Wow.
[15:54] NPC Shopkeep
    You got quite a lot in just three hours!
[15:59] Sunraku
    It's gotta be enough to make
    something pretty good, huh?
[16:02] NPC Shopkeep
    Hold on. I'll bring up the list.
[16:06] NPC Shopkeep
    Hey, hey...
[16:08] NPC Shopkeep
    You've got a Marshcoffin Fossil!
[16:11] Sunraku
    Yeah, I remember picking up that weird thing.
[16:14] NPC Shopkeep
    I can use that to make this!
SIGN    Marsh Dagger
    
[16:18] Sunraku
    Hey, nice.
[16:20] Sunraku
    I'll take it, then.
[16:22] Sunraku
    And make it a double!
[16:23] NPC Shopkeep
    Sure thing.
[16:24] NPC Shopkeep
    I'll have them made right away.

    There you are. A pair of Marsh Daggers!
[16:38] Sunraku
    Wow, god-tier weapons!
[16:41] Sunraku
    And halving durability reduction
    for a time after a critical
[16:46] Sunraku
    makes them perfect for my playstyle!
[16:49] NPC Shopkeep
    Make sure to find and bring
    back even more materials.
[16:52] NPC Shopkeep
    Raising your weapons is part of our job, too.
[16:55] Sunraku
    "Raising" my weapons?
[16:57] NPC Shopkeep
    Users of forging magic like me
[17:00] NPC Shopkeep
    can do more than just make weapons.
[17:02] NPC Shopkeep
    We can also upgrade them.
[17:06] NPC Shopkeep
    But see, weapons are like
    children to a blacksmith,
[17:10] NPC Shopkeep
    so we prefer to say we "raise" them
    to uncouth concepts like "upgrade."
[17:15] Sunraku
    I get it!
[17:16] Sunraku
    By the way, I gotta say,
[17:18] Sunraku
    the NPC speech and mannerisms
    here are something else.
SIGN    A CHARACTER CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER.
[17:21] Sunraku
    He's having a properly responsive
    conversation with me.
[17:24] Sunraku
    What kind of AI does this thing use?
[17:27] NPC Shopkeep
    Oh, hey, it's getting dark.
[17:29] NPC Shopkeep
    Make sure you don't leave
    town in armor like that.
[17:34] Sunraku
    How come?
[17:35] NPC Shopkeep
    Because nocturnal monsters
    are dangerous, of course.
[17:39] Sunraku
    Oh, the game's got that going on, huh?
[17:42] Sunraku
    Got it. I'll be careful.
[17:43] NPC Shopkeep
    Sure, see you later!
SIGN    Weapon Shop
[17:46] Sunraku
    That's what I told him...
[17:48] Sunraku
    But my penalty for dying's already passed.
[17:51] Sunraku
    And I got some good info!
[17:53] Sunraku
    Heck yeah!
[17:55] Sunraku
    Time to use those
    "dangerous nocturnal monsters"
[17:57] Sunraku
    to break in my new weapons
    and pile on some levels!
[18:04] Psyger-0
    Curious.
[18:06] Psyger-0
    I've searched the entire beginners' area.
[18:10] Psyger-0
    Highest Strength Enchant Hell Flame...
[18:14] Psyger-0
    Apocalypse!
[18:19] Psyger-0
    The only remaining possibility
[18:21] Psyger-0
    is that he managed to defeat this snake
    without stopping by town or dying
[18:24] Psyger-0
    and headed for Secondale...
[18:30] Psyger-0
    Could a brand-new player really
    accomplish such a thing?
[18:35] Psyger-0
    Well, Hizutome-kun... probably could.
SIGN    Redcap Goblin
[19:02] Sunraku
    Not bad at all!
[19:04] Sunraku
    Okay... let's lay out what I've learned.
[19:08] Sunraku
    First, monster spawns change
    based on if it's day or night.
[19:13] Sunraku
    Most nocturnal monsters are as aggressive
    and dangerous as the weapons seller said.
[19:19] Sunraku
    That's helped me to make
    progress leveling up,
[19:21] Sunraku
    and to learn some new skills, too.
[19:25] Sunraku
    But...
[19:26] Sunraku
    this particular guy seems a
    little too powerful, doesn't he?!
[19:29] Sunraku
    It's totally broken!
[19:32] Sunraku
    This thing's movement and attacks are on a
    whole other level from the forest Goblins!
[19:37] Sunraku
    It's got lots of HP, and incorporates
    feints into its fighting style
[19:41] Sunraku
    like it's been doing it all its life!
[19:44] Sunraku
    But the worst part of all...
[19:55] Sunraku
    Oh, come on!
[19:56] Sunraku
    Call Allies is supposed to
    be a weak monster ability!
[20:00] Sunraku
    I had enough trouble with one,
    but look at all these!
[20:04] Sunraku
    Even running away at full
    tilt, I might not survive...
[20:09] Sunraku
    Running away?
[20:11] Sunraku
    Hey, man, are you losing it?
[20:13] Sunraku
    Are you enjoying this, or aren't you?!
[20:27] Sunraku
    Is that all you got?!
[20:31] Sunraku
    Give me even more to enjoy!
[20:36] Sunraku
    I've been underestimating this game.
[20:42] Sunraku
    I've been having a lot of fun.
[20:45] Sunraku
    I've been telling myself,
    "god-tier games are pretty neat."
[20:48] Sunraku
    You could even say I was getting into it.
[20:52] Sunraku
    But this game...
[20:56] Sunraku
    *SLF has way more to offer!
[21:01] Sunraku
    On this day, in this instant...
[21:05] Sunraku
    I encountered the true Shangri-La Frontier.
