**[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?
***SIGN*** The 300-Limit Pandemonium
**[02:11] Vysache**
You beat the ninth already, did you?
**[02:15] Vysache**
Guess it's perfect timing.
**[02:17] Sunraku**
Vash?
**[02:18] Emul**
Dadd—I mean, Boss!
**[02:21] Vysache**
I thought I'd make your tenth
opponent a monster I caught.
**[02:27] Vysache**
I went on a bit of an excursion for it.
**[02:44] Sunraku**
A human? Yeah, don't think so...
**[02:48] Sunraku**
A sorcerer type?
**[02:50] Vysache**
One of those dummies from
long, long, long ago
**[02:54] Vysache**
who tried to fuse with a
tree to gain longer life.
**[03:00] Vysache**
I doubt you can beat him
in the state you're in now,
**[03:03] Vysache**
so I'll pick a different win criteria.
**[03:07] Sunraku**
What's that?
**[03:09] Vysache**
Survive five minutes.

An endurance battle, huh?

Five minutes is really all I need?
**[03:29] Sunraku**
So if I just stay in motion—
**[03:36] Sunraku**
*Was that attack even telegraphed?*
**[03:45] Vysache**
I'm a fan of your confidence, kid,
**[03:48] Vysache**
but I'd like to see you back it up.
**[03:56] Sunraku**
I get it! This might be a long five minutes!

*The hell is this thing made of?!*
**[04:40] Sunraku**
*Physical attacks won't work on it?!*
**[04:47] Sunraku**
*Guess I've just gotta dodge my ass off!*
**[04:55] Emul**
One minute has passed!
**[04:56] Emul**
You have four remaining, Sunraku-san!
**[04:59] Vysache**
Now, show me every last bit
**[05:03] Vysache**
of your vorpal soul.
**[05:11] Sunraku**
Aberrant Woodmage.
**[05:14] Sunraku**
*To put it lightly...*
**[05:18] Sunraku**
*This guy's a beast!*
**[05:21] Sunraku**
*Root-spear attacks that
are barely telegraphed...*
**[05:33] Sunraku**
*Chains that look like they'll
debuff you on contact...*
**[05:43] Sunraku**
*Both chase me around like it's
their natural right to catch me,*
**[05:46] Sunraku**
*which really does a number
on my will to keep dodging.*
**[06:06] Sunraku**
*But the worst part of all...*
**[06:17] Sunraku**
*is these magic attacks he slips
in there every now and then!*
**[06:21] Sunraku**
*Not to mention...*
**[06:32] Sunraku**
*that the more time passes,
the more he mixes up the magic types!*
**[06:39] Sunraku**
*Is the battle programmed so
the attacks get denser, too?!*
**[06:45] Sunraku**
*The number of chains and roots increases,*
**[06:47] Sunraku**
*and the magic attacks start
covering a wider area.*
**[07:05] Sunraku**
*If the density of the
attacks keeps increasing...*
**[07:10] Sunraku**
*I'm gonna be dead before
I ever reach five minutes!*
**[07:19] Sunraku**
*Another new spell for his arsenal?!*
**[07:27] Sunraku**
*The hell is this thing?*
**[07:30] Sunraku**
*He nullifies physical attacks and
constantly adds attacks of his own?!*
**[07:33] Sunraku**
*I think I'd stand a better
chance against Lycagon!*
**[07:46] Sunraku**
*Talk about hell for a first-time encounter.*
**[07:50] Sunraku**
*This is hopeless.*
**[07:53] Sunraku**
*I can barely think. I'm so tired.*
**[07:57] Sunraku**
*I'm gonna get some carbs in me,
think up a strat and try again.*
**[08:02] Sunraku**
*It's not like I'm penalized
if I die or anything.*
**[08:06] Sunraku**
*Who cares...*
**[08:11] Sunraku**
*Hang on, man.*
**[08:13] Sunraku**
*What's got you writing
yourself off all of a sudden?*
**[08:17] Sunraku**
*Since when have you been such a pushover?*
**[08:30] (Flashback) Sunraku**
*I don't expect to go ten
in a row on my first try.*
**[08:35] (Flashback) Sunraku**
*Nah, I'm done for.*
**[08:37] (Flashback) Sunraku**
*I'm totally screwed.*
**[08:39] Sunraku**
*It was the same with the Mud Digger.*
**[08:42] Sunraku**
*You relied on Emul.
You gave up just like that.*
**[08:48] Sunraku**
*Next thing you know,
you're cutting corners all over the place.*
**[08:53] Sunraku**
*What a mess.*
**[08:54] Sunraku**
*I think playing so many trash games
almost turned my brain to trash, too.*
**[09:01] Emul**
Sunraku-san!
**[09:07] Sunraku**
*I guess it's not good to
overdose on trashgamium.*
**[09:10] Sunraku**
*I've gotta even it out with some godgamium!*
**[09:19] Sunraku**
*Giving up when it's not
a forced loss event...*
**[09:23] Sunraku**
*or cutting corners on a game that
hasn't been broken wide open yet...*
**[09:31] Sunraku**
just doesn't make any sense!
**[09:35] Vysache**
Breaking through the waves of
attacks to reach melee range, eh?
**[09:40] Vysache**
But what's the point, when all he
can do is dish out basic strikes?
**[09:45] Sunraku**
I'm tired, damn it!
**[09:49] Sunraku**
So...
**[09:53] Sunraku**
I'm gonna win this thing
and go the frick to bed!
**[09:58] Sunraku**
Even if you nullify physical damage,
the attack itself still gets through, I'll bet.
**[10:05] Sunraku**
That's a pretty fancy staff for
a monster to be carrying around.
**[10:09] Sunraku**
I wonder what'll happen if
you've gotta do without it!
**[10:12] Sunraku**
Looks to me like you can't cast without it!
**[10:21] Sunraku**
In a post-apocalyptic world,
you survive by looting!
**[10:24] Sunraku**
The shakedown skills I
learned in *Unite Rounds*
**[10:28] Sunraku**
are not to be trifled with!
**[10:30] Vysache**
Those are some sticky fingers
you've got there, kid.
**[10:33] Vysache**
But you've got two minutes left.
**[10:36] Vysache**
I don't think you want
to be breathing easy yet.
**[10:39] Vysache**
Now, show me what you can do.
**[10:46] Sunraku**
Losing the staff is your
berserk button, huh?!
**[10:49] Sunraku**
That's too many damn attacks!
**[10:51] Sunraku**
You're kidding me!
**[10:52] Sunraku**
A tantrum like this over one little staff?!
**[10:54] Sunraku**
Give a little warning before
you go off like this, damn it!
**[11:04] Emul**
Sunraku-san, you're so close!
**[11:06] Emul**
Only one minute remains!
**[11:08] Emul**
Dodge, evade, withdraw, and run!
**[11:16] Sunraku**
*My mobility build is built for this!*
**[11:18] Sunraku**
*I'm not gonna just die
after getting this close!*
**[11:23] Sunraku**
A wall?
**[11:26] Sunraku**
Not good!
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Drain Exhaustion Speed↓
**[11:28] Sunraku**
Figured those chains would
be debuff generators.
**[11:31] Sunraku**
And they've got enough punch
to override Lycagon's Mark...
**[11:34] Sunraku**
*I won't be able to dodge like this.*
**[11:38] Aberrand Woods**
Give it back!
**[11:40] Sunraku**
You want it back that badly...
**[11:43] Sunraku**
Then go get it, asshole!
**[11:59] Sunraku**
Dude, did you *actually* go fetch it?
**[12:02] Sunraku**
You're such a dumbass.
**[12:04] Sunraku**
You didn't need the silly staff.
**[12:05] Sunraku**
You'd have won if you'd kept
the roots and chains coming.
**[12:11] Sunraku**
What a blockhead. A *wood*block head, even.
**[12:18] Sunraku**
Eh?
**[12:22] Sunraku**
Hang on a minute! I survived five minutes!
**[12:25] Sunraku**
Isn't it over?!
**[12:27] Vysache**
Well, the five minutes was my idea, not his.
**[12:31] Vysache**
It's right on the line,
but I guess I'll pass you!
**[12:44] Vysache**
You certainly showed me
**[12:46] Vysache**
your vorpal soul, in spades.
**[12:50] Sunraku**
Huh? I thought he nullified physical attacks?
**[12:54] Emul**
You've done it!
**[12:56] Emul**
I simply *knew* you would, Sunraku-san!
**[13:01] Vysache**
That's only when he's holding the staff.
**[13:04] Vysache**
Without the staff he's just an animated tree.
**[13:07] Sunraku**
Well, that explains why
he wanted it back so bad!
**[13:11] Sunraku**
And... hey, does that mean I beat the quest?!
**[13:14] Vysache**
Sure does.
**[13:16] Vysache**
And you'll get your reward.
**[13:17] Sunraku**
Finally!
**[13:19] Vysache**
I hearby declare you an Honorary Rabituzan.
***SIGN*** Title

Simply spectacular, Sunraku-san!
**[13:29] Emul**
Yay! Yay!
**[13:31] Sunraku**
Well... that's nice and all...
**[13:33] Sunraku**
But doesn't it come with
a rare item or something?
**[13:36] Vysache**
Oh, that's right.
**[13:37] Vysache**
I almost forgot.
***SIGN*** Vorpal Soul Collar
lost.
***SIGN*** Accessory
**[13:42] Vysache**
I'm sure you won't need that anymore.

**[14:12] Rakuro**
Sheesh, it's the middle of the night.
**[14:29] Sunraku**
"When the souls of the Divinity tremble,
**[14:32] Sunraku**
a rabbit shall tell an epic tale"... huh?
**[14:35] Sunraku**
Yeah, I'm not following a word of that.
***SIGN*** Bonus Unique Scenario

a rabbit shall tell an epic tale.
Rec. Level: 80
**[14:38] Sunraku**
The bonus unique scenario I
just spawned, "Vorpal Epic"...
**[14:44] Sunraku**
I hit "yes" to accept the quest,
**[14:47] Sunraku**
but I don't know how to kick it off.
**[14:49] Sunraku**
Plus, the recommended level is 80...
***SIGN*** Level 31
**[14:52] Sunraku**
"Divinity"...
**[14:54] Sunraku**
I think that was on the guide site.
**[14:56] Sunraku**
It's that civilization that died
out a long time ago, right?
**[15:01] Sunraku**
All the lore and speculation got
pretty overwhelming, though,
**[15:04] Sunraku**
so I backed out of that pretty quick.
**[15:06] Sunraku**
Pulling usable info from
that mess won't be easy.
**[15:11] Sunraku**
There're whole clans dedicated
to finding out the game lore,
**[15:13] Sunraku**
so no wonder there's a ton
of stuff to sift through.
**[15:17] Sunraku**
Maybe I'll put the unique
stuff on hold for now,
**[15:19] Sunraku**
check out the town and then
head for the next area.
**[15:23] Emul**
Are we venturing forth?!
**[15:24] Sunraku**
Yep.
**[15:25] Sunraku**
Wait, that's right...
**[15:30] Sunraku**
If I head out looking like this,
**[15:32] Sunraku**
I'm gonna be mobbed by PKers
and info hunters again.
**[15:36] Sunraku**
Even if I change my headgear,
**[15:38] Sunraku**
Lycagon's Mark is gonna draw attention.
**[15:42] Sunraku**
Not being able to wear torso and leg
armor is screwing me over so hard!
**[15:46] Sunraku**
That lousy mutt!
**[15:48] Emul**
Then why not hide your entire form?
**[15:50] Sunraku**
That's what I'm trying
to figure out how to do.
**[15:53] Emul**
I know just the place to get what you need!
**[16:00] Peatz**
Eh? Izzat you, Emul-neechan?
***SIGN*** Peatz
**[16:04] Sunraku**
Hey, an exclusive Palace of Rabituza shop?!
**[16:07] Emul**
Sunraku-san!
**[16:08] Emul**
Allow me to introduce my
younger brother, Peatz!
**[16:10] Emul**
He acquires goods and sells them in Rabituza!
**[16:14] Sunraku**
Hey, nice to meet you!
**[16:15] Peatz**
Not just Rabituza.
**[16:17] Peatz**
You can find me in other towns, too.
**[16:19] Peatz**
I don't go out too often, since I
gotta turn into a human to do it.
**[16:22] Peatz**
But if you happen to see me,
come by and say hi...
**[16:24] Peatz**
Mr. Birdman, darling of the Night Emperor.
**[16:27] Sunraku**
"Birdman"?
**[16:29] Sunraku**
I'll have you know this is a mask,
**[16:31] Sunraku**
and there's a real human face underneath it!
**[16:33] Sunraku**
See?
**[16:37] Sunraku**
What's with the big show of surprise?
***SIGN*** Staring Bird Mask
equipped
**[16:38] Emul**
Y-You actually took it off!
**[16:41] Emul**
I had assumed there was some
deeper reason you couldn't!
**[16:44] Sunraku**
Of course I can.
**[16:45] Emul**
But that's even more convenient!
**[16:48] Emul**
Peatz, did you not recently acquire
that very intriguing textile?
**[16:52] Peatz**
Say, yeah.
**[16:54] Peatz**
It's a pretty neat thing so I
figured it'd put it up for sale,
**[16:57] Peatz**
but it looks pretty mundane
relative to the price tag,
**[17:00] Peatz**
so it's been hard to find a buyer.
**[17:03] Sunraku**
Textile?
**[17:06] Shopkeep**
Er...
**[17:07] Shopkeep**
A map of the area around Thirdrema.
Is that all?
**[17:12] Sunraku**
Yes, that's all.
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[17:15] Shopkeep**
Thank you for coming.
**[17:21] Sunraku**
Actually, I've got *way* more to say!
**[17:24] Sunraku**
The hell is with this gear?!
**[17:25] Sunraku**
I'll admit it covers
Lycagon's Mark, but still!
**[17:28] Sunraku**
This is a total meme costume!
**[17:30] Emul**
Sunraku-san, shouting like
that will attract attention!
**[17:33] Sunraku**
I already stick out like a sore thumb!
***SIGN*** Ritual Medjed Keffiyeh
**[17:38] Emul**
Just endure it until we leave town!
**[17:40] Emul**
I'm sure it will all work out!
**[17:42] Sunraku**
Yeah, I guess it's fine.
**[17:44] Sunraku**
I got the recovery items
and map I needed anyway.
**[17:49] Sunraku**
But boy, you burn through MP fast
when you're in human form, huh?
**[17:53] Sunraku**
Let's get moving to the next
area before our items run out.
***SIGN*** Prismatic Forest Grotto
**[17:59] Sunraku**
Looks like there're three places
we can go from Thirdrema.
**[18:03] Emul**
Right-o!
***SIGN*** Prismatic Forest Grotto
**[18:05] Emul**
The Prismatic Forest Grotto
en route to Fourfolkshire.
**[18:09] Emul**
A maze of caverns overgrowing with plant life,
**[18:14] Emul**
in which flowers of all colors bloom!
***SIGN*** Fellfate Caldera
**[18:18] Emul**
The Fellfate Caldera en route to Fivelle.
**[18:21] Emul**
Water has collected in the crater of
a long-extinct volcano to form a lake.
**[18:27] Emul**
And the Iron Ruins of the
Divinity en route to Sixenveldt.
***SIGN*** Iron Ruins of the Divinity
**[18:31] Emul**
Ruins from the era of the Divinity,
**[18:33] Emul**
it gets its name from its
many hovering iron boards!
**[18:38] Sunraku**
I see.
**[18:39] Sunraku**
Which area to visit first?
**[18:42] Sunraku**
It's like in a wargame,
**[18:43] Sunraku**
where you have to decide which faction
to play, which one to exploit,
**[18:47] Sunraku**
and which one to suck up to.
**[18:49] Sunraku**
An extremely complex decision
on the level of that.
**[18:52] Emul**
I recommend the Fellfate Caldera!
**[18:56] Sunraku**
Could you please be quiet, Emul?
**[19:01] Sunraku**
Okay, I've decided!
**[19:02] Sunraku**
We'll head for the
Prismatic Forest Grotto first!
**[19:06] Sunraku**
Would you like to know
my reasoning, Emul-kun?
**[19:09] Sunraku**
First, the area we must avoid at all costs
**[19:13] Sunraku**
is clearly the Iron Ruins of the Divinity.
**[19:17] Sunraku**
One might hear the name and be swayed by
the promise of scientific bounties within,
**[19:21] Sunraku**
but that is a trap.
**[19:22] Sunraku**
Science means civilization.
Yes, the wisdom of centuries!
**[19:23] Emul**
Haven't we seen that person before?
**[19:26] Sunraku**
So if there're guns and stuff in the ruins,
**[19:28] Sunraku**
it's gonna be a pain in the ass
to deal with at my current stats,
**[19:31] Sunraku**
so hard pass.
**[19:32] Sunraku**
Huh? Person?

The newly released Great Max Tan-Tan Noodles.
**[22:41] Sunraku**
I'm gonna want something
to wash it down with.
**[22:49] Sunraku**
Hm?
**[22:50] Sunraku**
But didn't I hear water
makes spicy stuff worse?
**[22:58] Sunraku**
Man, I'm so thirsty.
**[23:07] Sunraku**
Crap. I just chugged it like always!
**[23:11] Sunraku**
And it's only been a minute!
**[23:13] Sunraku**
But I've still got two minutes to kill.
**[23:19] Sunraku**
Oh, right. That game's got a log-in bonus.
**[23:23] Sunraku**
Maybe I'll do that real quick.
**[23:37] Sunraku**
I forgot about it!
**[23:41] Sunraku**
They soaked it all up.
**[23:43] Sunraku**
They're basically broth-free tan-tan noodles.
**[23:48] Sunraku**
Guess I'll eat it.
