[00:01] Narrator
This world is filled with
too many games to count,
[00:06] Narrator
though the vast majority simply
come and go in obscurity.
[00:12] Narrator
The greatest of all games
[00:15] Narrator
is the fully immersive VR game boasting
over 30 million players worldwide—
[00:20] Narrator
Shangri-La Frontier, which rightly
earns the title of "god-tier game"!
[00:27] Narrator
One lover of trash games, Rakuro Hizutome,
[00:30] Narrator
is trying out the god-tier
game,* Shangri-La Frontier*!
[00:34] Narrator
What adventures await him there?

[02:13] Girl
Okay, let's move on to fortunes.
[02:15] Girl
Number one star sign is...
[02:18] Girl
Gemini! You have the best luck today.
[02:21] Girl
Your lucky item is roller skates.
[02:24] Girl
Gosh, I wish I could ride
roller skates to school!
[02:28] Girl
But where would I get some?
[02:29] Kei
Gotta say, it's one well made game...
[02:34] Kei
Shangri-La Frontier.
[02:40] Kei
I'd originally meant it to
just kill a little time.
SIGN Kei Uomi
SIGN Pro Gamer
With "Nitro Squad"
[02:46] Kei
But...
SIGN Mwahaha
[02:48] sign
Gwahaha
[02:49] Kei
The thought of them enjoying it
without me really ticks me off!
[02:55] Kei
Still, there's just a week
until the big tournament,
[02:59] Kei
so I'd better work out the last of the kinks.
[03:06] Sunraku
Check out Inventoria Key ASAP, man!
[03:14] Kei
Scratch that.
[03:15] Kei
I really can't bear to
let them get ahead of me!
[03:33] Kei
Okay!
SIGN The Serpent's Apple
[03:39] Sunraku
Did you see it?
[03:40] Sunraku
That awesome sci-fi armor lineup?!
[03:44] Sunraku
I could take on the entire
SLF playerbase with that!
[03:49] Oikatzo
Yeah, I saw it!
[03:50] Oikatzo
If you could use that stuff, it'd change up
the whole game, for real!
[03:53] Sunraku
Yeah!
[03:54] Sunraku
So, what now? What now?!
[03:56] Pencilgon
Well, about that...
[04:00] Pencilgon
Before I came here, I went into the storage
space and checked a few things out.
[04:06] Both
And?!
[04:08] Pencilgon
My conclusion is...
[04:13] Pencilgon
At the moment, they're not useful
as anything more than art pieces.
[04:23] Pencilgon
Those tactical machines and power armors
[04:25] Pencilgon
seem to require a power source called
a "Non-Standard Ether Reactor,"
SIGN Non-Standard Armament: Wire
Keep-Out Wire
SIGN Non-Standard Armament: Blade
Harbinger
[04:30] Pencilgon
an item I've never heard of
and have no idea where to get.
[04:37] Pencilgon
And you can't use the weapons
without the power armor on, so...
[04:43] Sunraku
No way!
[04:44] Sunraku
I got so excited, I didn't dig any deeper...
[04:47] Oikatzo
Actually, I've got a
Non-Standard Ether Reactor.
[04:52] Sunraku
Gross!
[04:54] Pencilgon
Where the hell did you get that?!
[04:56] Oikatzo
Maybe it's 'cause I did most
of the fighting against Kirin,
[05:00] Oikatzo
but I got it in my loot.
SIGN Non-Standard Ether Reactor
[05:03] Pencilgon
I underestimated you, Mr. Bondage Rodeo!
[05:06] Sunraku
Damn it! Wish I coulda seen that rodeo.
[05:09] Sunraku
It's my one regret of the Wethermon fight...
[05:12] Oikatzo
It seems like it's damaged, though.
SIGN Non-Standard Ether Reactor
SIGN Damaged
[05:16] Pencilgon
You can't fix it at a shop?
[05:18] Oikatzo
The blacksmiths I went to all
turned me away at the door.
[05:22] Oikatzo
"I can't fix a thing if I've
got no idea what it is."
[05:25] Pencilgon
Yeah, being a Divinity-era relic and all...
[05:28] Pencilgon
We might need a specialized blacksmith.
[05:31] Pencilgon
Or a special item...
[05:34] Pencilgon
Either way, I'm stumped.
[05:38] Sunraku
I might know a way to get it fixed.
[05:42] Sunraku
Hey! You did that on purpose!
[05:45] Oikatzo
Hey, are you serious about that?
[05:48] Sunraku
Well, no guarantees.
[05:50] Sunraku
And since it involves a unique scenario,
it might be hard to get you there.
[05:54] Sunraku
I was hoping you'd let me
borrow that item of yours.
[06:00] Oikatzo
Okay.
[06:01] Oikatzo
Or so I'd like to say...
[06:04] Oikatzo
But I've got a condition.
[06:06] Oikatzo
I wanna know the unlock conditions for
that unique scenario you're hiding.
[06:12] Pencilgon
Come on, Katzo.
[06:14] Oikatzo
I mean, it's not like I'm
triggering my own unique stuff!
[06:17] Oikatzo
I gotta piggyback on everyone else's stuff!
[06:20] Pencilgon
You sulk about the most annoying things.
[06:23] Pencilgon
In SLF*, information on uniques
is extremely valuable.
[06:28] Pencilgon
Even more so for those with monopolies on it.
[06:32] Pencilgon
The three of us didn't come together*
purely out of a sense of camaraderie.
[06:36] Pencilgon
To protect our own profits,
we won't share information easily.
[06:41] Pencilgon
And... the same goes for Katzo-kun.
[06:48] Sunraku
It's not like it showed me the
conditions when I unlocked it,
[06:51] Sunraku
so I can only explain my
own situation at the time.
[06:54] Sunraku
Is that enough?
[06:56] Oikatzo
You mean it?
[06:57] Sunraku
Don't act so shocked.
You're the one who asked.
[07:00] Sunraku
I didn't wanna reveal this stuff,
[07:02] Sunraku
but you want a show of good faith, right?
[07:05] Sunraku
And like I just said, I don't have any
proof that these are the conditions.
[07:12] Sunraku
All right, here I go.
[07:17] Sunraku
What I did was...
SIGN Unique Monster
Lycagon the Nightslayer
Encountered
[07:24] (Flashback) Voice
Unique monster, Lycagon the
Nightslayer, encountered.
[07:28] (Flashback) Sunraku
Unique... monster?
[07:34] Sunraku
At level 20 or less,
[07:36] Sunraku
I lasted five minutes without taking damage
[07:39] Sunraku
against the randomly encountered unique
monster, Lycagon the Nightslayer,
[07:43] Sunraku
then landed around 200 critical
hits with a vorpal weapon.
[07:48] Oikatzo
You expect me to do that?!
[07:50] Oikatzo
You acrobatic asshole!
[07:53] Sunraku
What are you mad at me for?!
[07:55] Pencilgon
It's like if he asked you how you fly,
[07:57] Pencilgon
and you told him to work out his pecs!
[08:01] Oikatzo
You think there's no harm in telling me
because there's no chance I'll do it, right?!
[08:05] Sunraku
Hey, this isn't fair!
[08:06] Sunraku
I gave you a genuine answer!
[08:08] Oikatzo
Fine, whatever!
[08:09] Oikatzo
Just take the stupid thing already.
[08:11] Sunraku
Hey!
[08:12] Pencilgon
Oh, right. Sunraku-kun...
[08:16] Sunraku
What now?
[08:17] Pencilgon
Could I get back that thing I left with you?
[08:21] Oikatzo
What thing?
[08:22] Sunraku
Oh, right. Forgot I hadn't done that.
[08:26] (Flashback) Pencilgon
Hey, Sunraku-kun.
[08:29] (Flashback) Pencilgon
Could you hang onto this for a while?
[08:34] (Flashback) Sunraku
Um, sure.
SIGN Item ownership has been transferred.
SIGN Reward Scales
[08:46] Oikatzo
That thing you were messing with
in the Wethermon fight, right?
[08:49] Oikatzo
You said you'd borrowed it, right?
SIGN Item ownership has been transferred.
[08:53] Pencilgon
From an NPC organization
called the Golden Scales.
[08:57] Pencilgon
I think it's part of one of the highest
classes of items in all Shangri-La Frontier.
[09:03] Pencilgon
Theoretically, if you throw in enough money,
[09:04] Pencilgon
you can get stats even higher
than those of a unique monster.
[09:09] Pencilgon
You'd need the budget of a small
country to do it, of course.
[09:12] Pencilgon
It seems the Inventoria can't
be removed once it's equipped,
[09:15] Pencilgon
so I'd expected it to be sold off...
[09:18] Oikatzo
What? Really?
[09:20] Oikatzo
Right, they did mention it
becoming a part of your body...
[09:25] Pencilgon
Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have been
taken, even as part of the PKK penalty.
[09:30] Pencilgon
But this is the one thing I didn't
want to lose, so I laundered it.
[09:35] Both
Laundered it?
[09:37] Pencilgon
A little trick to keep your items
from being lost to the penalty.
[09:41] Pencilgon
The penalty for PKing means
that when you're killed,
[09:44] Pencilgon
ownership of your items transfers
to the person who killed you.
[09:47] Pencilgon
And you have to pay a fee in proportion
to your wrongdoing—your karma points.
[09:53] Pencilgon
I think it sets your affection levels from
most NPCs to the lowest level possible,
[09:58] Pencilgon
too, but that's fine.
[09:59] Pencilgon
The fee this time was pretty annoying.
[10:03] (Flashback) Pencilgon
Oh, no!
[10:06] Pencilgon
When you're killed,
even items kept in storage will be
SIGN Pencilgon's Storage
[10:09] Pencilgon
automatically seized and sold off
to help pay off the fee.
SIGN Sold Off
SIGN Repayment
[10:14] Pencilgon
Protecting certain items from this
seizure is called "laundering."
[10:19] Oikatzo
So instead of putting them in storage,
[10:21] Oikatzo
you gave them to Sunraku
before Psyger-0 killed you?
[10:24] Sunraku
You can actually do that?
[10:26] Sunraku
Seems like a pretty big exploit...
[10:27] Pencilgon
No. Even if you hand over the item,
[10:30] Pencilgon
it'll still search through
your history and sell it off.
[10:33] Oikatzo
Huh?
[10:34] Oikatzo
Then why didn't the Scales go away?
[10:38] Pencilgon
The Scales aren't really mine.
[10:39] Pencilgon
Their ownership fundamentally
lies with The Golden Scales.
[10:45] Pencilgon
What matters here is that
[10:46] Pencilgon
items you don't have ownership of
won't be automatically sold off.
[10:51] Pencilgon
But you can't transfer ownership just
by handing an item to someone else.
[10:56] Pencilgon
So when Psyger-0 killed me,
even if I'd been carrying the Scales,
[11:06] Pencilgon
their ownership by The Golden
Scales wouldn't have changed.
[11:09] Pencilgon
So they wouldn't have been sold off;
they'd probably just be dropped as an object.
[11:13] Sunraku
I think I get the idea,
but how's that laundering?
[11:17] Sunraku
Isn't it just the Scales falling
outside the standard penalty purview?
[11:22] Pencilgon
You can exploit that property to
do some very interesting things.
[11:26] Pencilgon
"The scales preserve the balance.
[11:29] Pencilgon
Let the past be my payment,
and return what has been offered."
SIGN Tome of Truth: The Tombguard
SIGN Flower Pin of Bygone Prayers
[11:42] Sunraku
That's the Tome of Truth and...
What's the flower thing?
[11:46] Pencilgon
My loot from the Wethermon fight.
[11:49] Pencilgon
Looks like the three of us each
got slightly different items.
SIGN Clear Sky Skillbook
[11:55] (Flashback) Sunraku
Let's see... "Clear Sky Skillbook"?
SIGN Clear Sky Skillbook
A digital record of sword techniques
left by a Divinity-era swordsmaster.
[11:59] Pencilgon
I offered the Flower Pin of Bygone Prayers
and the Tome of Truth to the Scales.
[12:06] Pencilgon
In that instant, ownership of the
Pin transferred to the Scales,
SIGN Ownership
SIGN Offering
[12:11] Pencilgon
which meant they no longer
had physical existence.
[12:15] Sunraku
So they couldn't be seized?
[12:19] Pencilgon
Right.
[12:20] Oikatzo
And it actually let you get 'em back?
[12:23] Pencilgon
If you pay the price within one week,
you can retrieve the items.
[12:27] Pencilgon
Of course, I had to give up
40 levels to make it happen...
[12:32] Pencilgon
But if it means I get to keep this pin,
I won't miss them.
[12:39] Pencilgon
On top of that, in order
to rent out these Scales,
[12:42] Pencilgon
I used my main weapon as collateral!
[12:45] Pencilgon
The Scales' power transferred its ownership
to the organization, so it's also safe!
[12:52] Sunraku
So much for wiping the slate
clean on your crimes...
[12:55] Oikatzo
So, how much was the fee?
[12:57] Pencilgon
A good 500 million mahni.
[12:59] Sunraku
You won't get it outta me.
[13:00] Pencilgon
I don't need to borrow it.
[13:01] Pencilgon
I can totally afford it.
[13:04] Pencilgon
The most recent fight proved it to me.
[13:07] Sunraku
Proved what?
[13:09] Pencilgon
Hunting unique monsters is
a profitable enterprise.
[13:13] Sunraku
As simple as that, huh?
[13:17] Pencilgon
On that point, I have a proposal.
[13:22] Pencilgon
Would you two like...
[13:25] Pencilgon
to form a clan with me?
[13:46] Pencilgon
Rock...
[13:47] Oikatzo
Paper...
[13:48] Trio
Scissors!
[13:51] Both
Yeah! Pencilgon loses!
[13:54] Sunraku
That means Pencilgon's our clan leader!
[13:57] Oikatzo
Oh, yeah!
[14:00] Pencilgon
Best out of three!
[14:01] Both
Nothing doing!
[14:04] Pencilgon
I should've known I couldn't beat
their reaction speed...
[14:08] Both
Just figuring that out, are you?!
SIGN Smug
[14:14] Pencilgon
I'm not cut out to be a
leader... but ah, well.
[14:17] Sunraku
Okay, Leader!
Here's your first job.
[14:21] Sunraku
What should our clan name be?
SIGN Unique Hunters
SIGN Outrage
SIGN Trash Game Alliance
SIGN Wolfgang
SIGN Gold Rush
SIGN Pike-Mounted Heads
SIGN Pencilgon-chan
and Her Errandboys
[14:31] Pencilgon
Okay.
[14:33] Pencilgon
What about this one, then?
[14:36] Oikatzo
Sounds good to me. Pretty cool.
[14:38] Sunraku
I'd have been okay with
"Pencilgon-chan and Her Errandboys," myself.
[14:43] Oikatzo
I would not have.
SIGN Unique Hunters
SIGN Outrage
SIGN Trash Game Alliance
SIGN Gold Rush
SIGN Pike-Mounted Heads
SIGN Pencilgon-chan
and Her Errandboys
[14:45] Pencilgon
All right, my fellows.
[14:47] Pencilgon
Let's ready our drinks.
[14:50] Pencilgon
We will henceforth become
wolves venturing through the
[14:53] Pencilgon
world of Shangri-La Frontier
in search of unique monsters—
SIGN Wolfgang
[14:58] Pencilgon
And in celebration of Clan
Wolfgang's founding...
[15:01] Trio
A toast!
[15:09] Oikatzo
So, what'll our emblem be?
[15:13] Sunraku
I think that one...
[15:14] Sunraku
should be up to Pencilgon!
[15:15] Oikatzo
Get to it, Leader!
[15:16] Pencilgon
Stop making me do everything!
[15:20] Schwarz Vulf A
Didn't know there was a pub back here...
[15:23] Pencilgon
I figure it can just be whatever.
[15:25] Sunraku
Same here.
[15:26] Oikatzo
C'mon, man.
[15:27] Oikatzo
If we're gonna make a guild,
at least think stuff over!
[15:30] Schwarz Vulf A
Wow, there's basically no one here.
[15:33] Schwarz Vulf A
Hey, you guys.
[15:36] Schwarz Vulf A
I've got a question for you.
[15:38] Schwarz Vulf A
I've been searching for the trio
[15:40] Schwarz Vulf A
who beat the unique monster
from that recent announcement.
[15:44] Schwarz Vulf A
Their names are
SIGN Arthur Pencilgon
[15:46] Schwarz Vulf A
Arthur Pencilgon,
[15:48] Schwarz Vulf A
Oikatzo,
SIGN Oikatzo
[15:50] Schwarz Vulf A
and Sunraku...
SIGN Sunraku
[15:57] Trio
Never heard of 'em!
[16:00] Schwarz Vulf A
Hey!
[16:01] Sunraku
Hey, Leader!
I thought you rented the place out!
[16:04] Pencilgon
I don't recall ever saying that!
[16:07] Pencilgon
I just said barely anyone ever went there!
[16:10] Oikatzo
Well, it's good timing.
[16:11] Oikatzo
Let's call the meeting to a close.
[16:13] Oikatzo
My level dropped,
thanks to the Evil Force and all,
[16:16] Oikatzo
so I'd like to do some leveling, myself.
[16:18] Pencilgon
Yeah, and I should turn in the
Scales and get my main weapon back.
[16:23] Pencilgon
You handle the reactor stuff, Sunraku-kun!
[16:26] Sunraku
You got it!
[16:27] Sunraku
And you figure out that emblem!
[16:29] Oikatzo
Later!
[16:31] Schwarz Vulf A
They split up!
[16:33] Schwarz Vulf A
Hey, player named Sunraku!
[16:35] Schwarz Vulf A
Wait! Don't run away!
[16:38] Sunraku
Terribly sorry!
[16:39] Sunraku
My name's not Sunraku! It's Samraku!
[16:42] Schwarz Vulf A
You liar!
[16:45] Sunraku
Here we go!
[16:49] Sunraku
I'm back, Emul!
[16:52] Sunraku
Open a gate, would you?
[16:56] Emul
You're late, Sunraku-san!
[16:58] Emul
Positively tardy!
[17:00] Sunraku
Now, now. I'll explain later.
[17:04] Emul
Harrumph!
[17:05] Sunraku
Right, that creepy sword.
[17:09] Sunraku
I forgot to hand it back to Pencilgon.
[17:13] Sunraku
Well, next time.
[17:15] Schwarz Vulf A
You chose the wrong escape route, buddy!
[17:17] Schwarz Vulf A
You're heading right for a dead end!
[17:19] Schwarz Vulf A
I just wanna ask you some questions.
[17:21] Schwarz Vulf A
You don't have to run—
[17:24] Schwarz Vulf A
Hey, he's gone.
[17:29] Schwarz Vulf A
Where'd he go?
[17:33] Sunraku
Huh? Aniki Vash isn't here?
[17:36] Emul
I haven't seen Dadd—the boss
since the day he spoke to you.
[17:42] Sunraku
Got it.
[17:43] Sunraku
So he's not necessarily
always at the Palace, huh?
[17:46] Sunraku
I was hoping to go see him after I did my
skill fusions and point distributions...
[17:56] Elke
You successfully learned
your new skills, I see.
[18:00] Elke
Hey, bird-man...
[18:02] Elke
Would you like to peruse my skill grimoires?
[18:07] Sunraku
I'm kinda broke.
SIGN mahni
[18:10] Elke
Hmph!
[18:12] Sunraku
Don't "hmph" at me, lady.
[18:14] Sunraku
You were gonna rope me into a purchase
the minute you saw a chance,
[18:16] Sunraku
you money-grubbing bunny.
[18:19] Emul
Well, where shall we go next?
[18:23] Sunraku
Who else besides Aniki could
fix the Ether Reactor?
[18:29] Sunraku
Probably not Bilac, but I might as well ask.
[18:33] Bilac
Yeah, I can't fix that.
[18:36] Sunraku
Yeah, figured.
[18:38] Bilac
Only an Ancient Craftsman can
fix up stuff from the Divinity.
SIGN Ancient Craftsman
[18:42] Bilac
I'm only a Master Craftsman.
SIGN Master Craftsman
[18:46] Bilac
Pops is the only guy I know
who could handle this.
[18:48] Sunraku
So you need the "Ancient Craftsman" job?
[18:51] Sunraku
Ah, well.
[18:53] Sunraku
I'll forget the reactor for now,
and work on raising my fused skills.
[18:58] Sunraku
Raising?
[19:00] Sunraku
Growth?
[19:03] Emul
What is it?
[19:05] Sunraku
That's it!
[19:06] Sunraku
I just need to do some raising!
[19:10] Sunraku
If there's no Ancient Craftsman around,
[19:12] Sunraku
I just need to turn Bilac
into an Ancient Craftsman!
[19:17] Bilac
Don't underestimate the
Ancient Craftsman title!
[19:18] Bilac
It's not as easy as you make it sound!
[19:21] Sunraku
I'm not telling you to become a
Divine Craftsman like Aniki Vash.
SIGN Divine Craftsman
[19:24] Sunraku
Besides, it's a road you've
got to go down someday, right?
[19:29] Sunraku
Which means now is the time!
[19:31] Sunraku
Let's make a try at that
Ancient Craftsman title!
[19:36] Bilac
Make a try?
[19:38] Sunraku
I'm not saying this out of a lack of faith.
[19:40] Sunraku
I'm saying it with full
confidence in your skills!
[19:43] Sunraku
And I'll help you, of course!
[19:46] Emul
Big Sis Bee, I know you can do it!
[19:52] Bilac
Me, an Ancient Craftsman?
[20:00] Bilac
You got it, bird-man.
[20:03] Bilac
I'll play along.
[20:05] Bilac
I'm gonna become an Ancient Craftsman!
[20:07] Emul
Yay, Big Sis Bee!
[20:10] Sunraku
Hell yeah!
[20:12] Sunraku
Let's start the plan to cultivate Bilac!
[20:15] Emul
Yes, indeed!

Y-Yeah!
