House lands on top of a tree and stretches out its syringes to make a wider space ' Aren't we supposed to be in a city ? ' Haggis thought while House was slowly stripping the surrounding trees to make room for Yuni .
"You should go look for the city yourself . I just got a notification" ' It must be related to her challenges ' " Okay thank you for saving me , I'll reunite with my group " ' His group ? that's strange , I thought the city was massacred . Does he know some thing ? '

' How few people are there that do the solo challenge that they are taking a while to make a quest just for me ? ' Yuni decided to pack her things to go and to the city for resupply ' Not being a citizen means that I won't even be able to borrow from the city library , but entering is no problem at least '
She dashed through he forest and hunted a few monsters in the way and headed to the library ' I'll just keep reading ' she let fate decide and read some books and a notification appeared .

' It says that , but it doesn't mention anything , even if they are a bit a lousy , they're at least making players progress by giving them hints . Since it's not like the previous game that makes your stats pointless , this one makes it good to announce in advance '
Yuni shakes her head ' Let's just keep reading ' she walks around the shelves , rubbing her hand across the book's spine to figure out what could be good to read and stops at one with a thick spine ' This one is just like the storybooks inside House '
"The demon king and heroes" Yuni opened the book and reads the very cliche trope where heroes are summoned to this world ' It say it's incomplete maybe I can see what's supposed to be going on ? ' she skipped to the blank page and looked at the chapter .

[ Reward : Information about the next quest ]
Chapter title : A grander summoning
As heroes are summoned to defeat the demon king , they returned . the demon king has now resurrected again .
' First off again ? You're telling me the demon king gets beaten up and yet keeps coming back , you should try to solve why the demon king keeps dying and coming back ... maybe that's why the quest is asking me to investigate the history of the world . maybe I could find a hidden piece here '
Yuni reads the book attentively and finally finished ' This is just weird , if you kill the demon king , all heroes are returned , including the skills of the bodies they inhabited so they'll never be able to figure out why the demon king ressurects unless they don't kill him ' Yuni figured the quest had to do with fighting along with the body's skills .
' Another evidence it's not the kids but I just feel irritated that this might be because they want to make fun of me ' she reflected on the information from the latest chapter title ,
' They said that the summoning this time will be grand because the kingdom wants to be able to control the heroes through puppets because they want power '
There was a lot of disappointment that came crashing down recalling that part as she heads home ' This is the fate of a story that has progressed too long eventually , it will break free from its original idea and thus ,create a different plot and setting later but it doesn't feel like that would be the end of it '
She recalls the balance of power that was a law in the world they were gonna go to ' It's a classic lore and mention , if a demon king is set to be resurrected , the other side is given an advantage to balance it out the advantage being the summoned heroes '
She wondered if there were books like the ones at the library ' If books like these can be found easily then many players would have an advantage ' she sensed some system power that could be found inside the storybooks ' maybe this is their way of helping me ... No matter how much I add to that story I can't help but think it's still my kids '
She angrily got home but slammed the door which would've damaged House but Humility held her back .
...
Haggis returned to the city by night " You're finally hear " He looked at his comrade Cela , a sword master " How's everyone ? " " Most of us are safe . We were so worried about you when we heard the news of the city " " I was with Yuni you know that player that had a very noticeable presence "
" That girl that made us do another tutorial stage " " If she didn't do that , we might've killed some of our members, you know how expensive trust is " " I know , But still it felt like we should've found out about it "
" Anyways , I've learned about what she did , she's got a witch hut and she even brewed up an elixir " " What's the point of that ? " " I'm just trying to understand why she's a top player . There was some training that she did which was how she increased her metabolism , and we can try to learn it too "
" Does that training she do keep her thin " Haggis figured out what Cela wanted to do " Just because it can doesn't mean we should , however it could be useful for those who are challenging the challenge of sobriety , if we can offset some status effect with this we can progress sobriety much faster it even said here that sobriety can reward us ingredients like a mandrake "
" But we can't use it as challengers of sobriety " " I thought the same too , but the challenge of sobriety is meant for us to not feel the effects , here look at this " Haggis tells Cela more about how they could absorb the effects without failing the challenge .
" It does make sense if our body is digesting the food that quickly , we would technically be drinking a health potion " " Exactly that's why I'm thinking that it could be useful " " Then we better get to eating , then we already made a feast , but we can tell them to cook more "
" Good idea " the next day , Haggis and his group were eating together another feast while practicing what they learned from Yuni's diary to improve their metabolism ' It's hard to tell the results while we some of us have N/A ' " Mr. Haggis I got a skill " Oliver said , showing his status screen .

[ Positive status effect doesn't occur , but effects are felt ]
' Perfect , that means that Sophia's healing spells won't affect the challenge ' " Alright now that we have this skill , I want all the kids to accept the challenge of sobriety " " What about the rest ? After hearing how many benefits , everyone is curious about getting them too " Cela said .
" That's true , but some of her challenges aren't that great , Humility could be great for training , but only those who are strong should use it . The challenge of Blind is too hard for us who don't have enough experience "
" But silence is good , although we'll all have to learn to use sign language " " That's right " " She's strangely generous too , why did she give you this alarm ? "
" No it's because I gave her all the books I borrowed from the library . There was supposed to be an auction with a potted mandrake , at first , I thought she wanted it because of the first book she requested , but as it turns out , she already had one "
" What did she use the elixir for then ? " " I'm not sure " Yuni takes out a bottle of elixir and went to a room ' Have your meal House ' She leaves a bottle and shuts the door shut ' Just talking to myself but not being able to use my mouth is such a bother sometimes '
Yuni goes out wondering if she should accept some challenges and heads to an office " Oh Yuni you're here , Are you gonna accept some more challenges ? " Haggis asked while she shrugged her shoulders .
"What about you ?" " I'm getting the kids and elderly in my group to accept a few challenges like the silence , although since we are already coming this far , it might be a bit hard "
" ... are you here for the challenge quest ? " Yuni shrugged her shoulders again ' I was going to check , but I feel like there won't be a lot , I already lost my eyes and my mouth and if I get rid of my hearing , I won't even be able to communicate effectively '
"Just looking around" Yuni checked the rooms that either put the player at a lower speed or greater gravity ' Basically , what my humility does the problem with challenges is that they're not forced and you have to put some effort into them yourself '
Yuni decided that she'll just have to see what the future has for her ' I'm going metaphorically and literally blind , I know the next quest , but it's not like I'm a seer . Speaking of Seers , this guy sent his group away before the massacre , maybe he knows more than he's letting others know '
She goes to the church and searches for some idols that could fit her description " Good morning Player , what are you here for ? " Yuni thinks of the description she read about the church and wrote .
"I'm here to swear some oaths" " Oh is it to reinforce the challenges you've placed on yourself ? " Yuni nodded " I suppose we do award people for making oaths , but if you break them , they'll be removed ... But you do have the challenge sobriety , so maybe it's possible for you to be gifted a few gifts instead of blessings instead "
" What do I do ? " " it's simple , you have to make donations " ' It's a bit dirty for religious communities to require donations , it's just a way for them to avoid emphasizing money . They probably want to say something like "Your donations represent your support" which is true , but anyone who says "These blessings can be bought with money" Is not wrong '
"I have money , I want to accept the blessings of darkness , tranquility , justice , temperance " " Then follow me I will guide you " Yuni consumed reward from each of her challenges ' Are they renaming the words so that they don't look down on the idols ? ' Yuni thought .
' Although it is a bit weird that they didn't use gods , maybe it's because the gods are the viewers and they got jealous ' she pushed it away and heard a loud and noticeable ting as she was going to leave the city .
[ User : FallenWyrmofdarkness has sent a message ]
' What kind of cringey name is this ' She checked it nevertheless and heard several pings and got annoyed instantly and went to the settings and put it on silent ' What exactly am I receiving anyways ? ' she reads the email which was written as "avatar invitation" ' What is the meaning of these ? '
She wondered if there was customer service and went to find a building on the map ' There's one ' she entered the office and waited which she taking her time by reading the rewards which meant reading and was finally called .
" What are your queries ? " "What is avatar invitation ?" " It is an invite for you to be the avatar of a user . These users are usually Pay to win and it's rare to find any that are free to play . There is a lot of information about the different kinds would you like to use one query to ask ? "
Yuni nodded "What's the difference between Pay to win and free to play ?" " Pay to win are generally refers to the users who can give powers , skills or anything that costs them anything . Meanwhile , Free to play can be used for both users and players , there exist some users who are free to play because they have information that the players don't have , Players , on their own , are free to play as they are limited to what the game offers "
"Does that mean that the users view the games and play it ?" "That's right , Users are able to interfere with games and we reserve the name for viewers who simply watch for entertainment , these viewers can eventually become users and interfere with the game . There are some information that you can obtain about the viewers would you like it ?"
Yuni pushed the fee towards the cashier "What about the streamers ? If there are viewers , they would surely exist" " Of course they do , the streamers can open a channel to watch the players or can open a channel about their avatar instead "
Yuni wondered if that meant the Players get a cut "Do players get a cut from the streaming ?" " Generally , in the early stages , they don't however , as you progress further , streaming your situation becomes more costly for any streamers . This is related to how well you did your games , the more interesting you are , the more the game will charge the streamers "
Yuni pushed more money and asked "How does a player make it to the level of content creator ?" " Easy , garner the interest of any viewers , this can easily be tabulated by the amount of avatar invitations you have , the number of likes you receive in a stream and finally performance among the players . You have great performance , so you can be a streamer however , it will be costly "
' Hmm now this is nice , isn't it ' Yuni smiled and asked "Are there any books that can record the adventures ?" " They're simply called storybooks , it is things that are meant to be completed , They're also a very rare item , you can purchase them in bookshops only if the publishers allows it "
Yuni asked a few more queries before leaving ' I've got a general idea on how to do this , but the problem is I can't do it yet ' Yuni figured she had to wait for two weeks from now for the game of fame ' If the information is right isn't the quest involving the demon king the one that's the most important ? '
She checks the quest board , wondering what quest she should do to kill time . She finishes a random quest and takes out the reward from the idols ' Maybe that section of the church is where I could claim the rewards from the challenges although the problem is that the challenges are better used as reward enhancers '
Yuni reads the book about dark magic and how to utilise it ' Unlike some dark magic this one only deals with how to turn darkness into a solid , it's a good magic to learn , but the is what makes it limited , maybe I could sell this to Haggis , he seems to be an avid reader '
The next day , Yuni decided to look at the quest reward she got for escaping .
[ Read the storybook of Legend of Grasil ]
Yuni takes it and sees her name written ' So this is what it meant by participation , but according to the other information office , that some storybooks have copies ' Yuni wondered if this meant that the reward was actually a challenge .
' Which means I'm being hunted by the elves because I was explicitly written in the storybook ' she checks Cosmetics , which has limited information about her stats to anyone who is curious ' Maybe this one has a progress bar ? '
[ You have garnered the minimal amount of fame ]8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUcWWTR2VO
[ New challenge Fame is being made ]
' Fame ? ' Yuni checked the description , understanding what Fame is all about ' So this challenge is derived from the storybooks huh , does that mean that Prince Grasil also has a challenge like this ? Maybe the mad forest getting a storybook gained enough fame too . Maybe my condition has to do with me giving Haggis that diary '
[ Challenge accepted ]8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzclMFYEZCY
[ From now on , storybooks about you will be made ]
' This is useful too since I'll be able to get enough to be a content creator '
A storybook titled "Diary of challenger" appeared in front of Yuni , which wrote everything she did ' It started after the character selection screen huh ' she felt some settings that could be set ' Oh , I get to have a say on the books traits '
Yuni wondered what she should do about it and recalled that she did make Haggis pay for the diary ' It's gotta be money '
[ Any readers can easily share and view the contents ]8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdpstuNa21
[ Would you like to consume one Silence reward instance ? ]8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ372mvOP3ai

' Duh ' she agreed , which added a confidentiality trait to the storybook ' Now people will have to pay to read , like a webnovel site but none of the chapters are free . Although I'm not sure if this could be of any useful '
[ Any reader who is aware of your stories will have to pay extra to unlock the rest ]
Haggis wondered why there were suddenly some greyed out places in the book " What's the matter ? " " I can't see this and it says I have to pay this much " " Oh that is certainly a lot of money , but you could afford it " " Are we not seeing the same numbers ? "
" I can see that it's below your wallet " " I see that it's above " " Weird , why did it do this ? " Haggis hears a ding and sees Yuni's name "Hello Haggis , I want to sell you some books about dark magic , I don't need them anymore , so I'm wondering if you want it"
"I'll accept it , but did you do something to the diary ?" "I got the challenge of Fame , as it turns I needed to be popular enough as well as willing to share my stories , I was allowed to edit the conditions for reading it , which is to pay and don't think about sharing my stories . I used two reward instance to keep readers from gossiping beyond what they're allowed to"
' Really !? I heard they're hard to get , especially due to the painful penalty ' "But do I have to pay ?" "Yes now I'll be leaving the book in a pickup office I'm sending you the information you'll be paying through my storybook so you don't have to pay for this"
Haggis was reluctant , but upon seeing the book , he accepted " So it looks like we can't talk about Yuni much " " Why ? " " It's complicated , but there's so much we could learn from her it's probably gonna be worth it "
Yuni leaves the book on the pickup office and heads back to the forest ' I can feel some eyes , probably the elves , I was inserted into Grasil's story ' Yuni entered the forest and reached the house with the elves inside a bottle .
' I wonder what I should do with them , I can't leave them in prison . Mercy reward instance is worth more than money that I can earn , so I could just put them up for slavery ' She smirked and watched her mercy instance progress after making the decision .
' But if I am part of the story , that means I might appear ' She looked at the chapter title page ' So it's gonna be about me now , I'll probably be stuck in here after the chapter just claimed me as character in Grasil's story ' Yuni checks her quest progress .

[ Reward : Continuation of participation to Legend of Grasil ]
' What a stupid reward , but that also seals the deal that from hear on out I'll be the antagonist of his story '
Yuni took a look at her storybook ' Oh there it is , it even has the same title ' she was satisfied to see such a thing happen and decided ' Looks like I'll have to visit the elves soon , maybe they'll make a very special chapter where I am force to confront Grasil '
She wondered if there was a way for her to obtain something other than participation in the story ' Since they added me to their kill list , I have to expect some assassins , maybe they want to keep the information about the massacre ... Actually wouldn't Haggis be in danger ? If this storybook has copies he might have one of them , did he not say a thing because it would also make him participate ? '
She recalled that Haggis came with a group and figured that was the reason ' I suppose I'll have to do something about it , seeing as he wasn't included in the previous chapter , it would mean that he's safe , so no point in worrying '
Yuni continues claiming the rewards from the idols and the next day she goes to the basement " I'll never tell you anything " ' The reward instance of silence taught me how to take and imbue silence , even though it's supposed to be silence . I'm surprised that I could even stretch this silence restraint through the soul '
The elves struggled to break free and Yuni took one and removed their silence ' I wonder if this will be revealed , it won't matter in the end if they choose to die . I did just get a good joint reward from Sobriety and Mercy '
Yuni starts to take notes on how to sue plant magic and did the same to the other elves ' Now you be quiet about this information ' Yuni placed their silenced them from speaking about how she learned Plant magic from them .
' It's just too bad the techniques written in Grasil's storybook were too complicated , I would need more than just my base understanding of magic ' Yuni traps the elves and takes them to the slave dealer .
" These are amazing elves player , we hope you can bring more to us " Yuni smiled , feeling the amount of money she earned ' you better send some more prince grasil ' in "legend of Grasil" the only information that Grasil got was the assassination didn't work .
Meanwhile , Haggis was surprised to see that Yuni was starting to learn plant magic ' This is gonna be important , I need to tell everyone to go buy a copy ' Haggis started to tell his group about how to get basic plant magic and the bookstore suddenly had a line the next day .
Yuni sells the next batch of slaves and was surprised by the sales of her storybook ' Now this is surprising , I'm getting a lot of sales ' She opened the storybook's table of contents and saw the number of readers on the chapter where she captured the elves .
' So it must be cause of that , I guess this is why people don't get it ' she recalled the super long description ' It did mention that people will know how you're strength goes and learn some of your techniques . This is dependent to their talent and the skill they wish to learn . I've basically turned my storybook into a skillbook , good thing there's a paywall in this thing '
Yuni takes a quest again and heads to the mines ' I did abuse my basic plant magic to overharvest essential herbs . It's pretty relaxing and for some reason even progressed the mercy challenge , maybe it has to do with that very profound line about the greatest mercy ' She sarcastically talked to herself .
She returned home that early and thought about the possible surge of people who would be in the forest gathering some herbs , especially the rare ones that appear at night .
' I feel like the players would think House is some secret dungeon , but then again , I did have cosmetics with me , so they might think it's not actually a secret dungeon '
Yuni shrugged her shoulders and figured she could use some fence either way . She takes a book from her compensation package and learns about the many barrier spells ' It's not enough , but House has been pretty strong . I'll have to study this tomorrow ' she closes the book so she can have some rest .
Elves looked at House and quietly sneaked around the trees to find her bedroom . They took aim , but House shot a syringe towards them , injecting them with a poison from Yuni's joint reward instance and moving them into the basement as Yuni had ordered them .
Inside Grasil's storybook , it was written "The house of the escapee turns out to be a living house which has evolved into a Frankenstein house , who knows what traits it actually has , but one thing is for certain is that it has vines that could stab and poison the elves so that their bodies fall limp . It has enough capability to swallow the trespassers in however , their fates will not be known unless the lonely , blind , sober , silent , decorated , merciful , humble , famous challenger Yuni speaks of the tale"
" Why is this line so long ? "
Yuni's storybook also changed as it is now "Diary of the lonely , blind , sober , silent , decorated , merciful , humble , famous challenger Yuni"
