Chapter 11: Free March 7th at the Start? Iâm Crying!
A Towering Skyscraper Rooftop
On the
edge of a rooftop
, overlooking the
bustling cityscape below
, Kafka sat leisurely on the railing.
A
gentle breeze
ruffled her coat and hair, adding a touch of
laziness
to her demeanor.
âIf only I had a glass of wine right nowâŠâ
Kafka mused to herself.
Beside her,
Silver Wolf
was in a
completely different state
.
She was
fully focused
on the screen before her, her fingers dancing over the interface
without blinking once
.
Finallyâ
A smirk
curved at the corner of her lips
.
âGot it!â
She pointed at a
graffiti-style symbol
on the screen, turning to Kafka
with a hint of pride
.
âRemember this? The digital graffiti I left in the [Herta] Space Stationâitâs actually a
backdoor
program I implanted to hack into their system.â
âAnd just now? I successfully broke through.â
Silver Wolf
pulled down
her
visor
as she spoke.
Kafka chuckled
lightly
.
âSo⊠what are you planning next?â
âObviously, Iâm gonna
snatch a game cartridge
of [Punk-Lorde Spirit].â
Silver Wolf responded
without hesitation
.
âThere hasnât been anything fun to play recently, and Iâm
bored to death
. This is the
only
thing that remotely piques my interest.â
âWell then, good luck to you~â
Kafka
raised her hand
, making a
mocking toast gesture
.
Thenâ
She
resumed
enjoying her rare moment of
peace and quiet
.
Meanwhile,
Silver Wolfâs perspective
had already
shifted away
from the rooftopâ
Her focus was now
deep inside the [Herta] Space Station
.
Livestream Chat: Pure Chaos
âI KNEW IT!â
âI had a hunch that Kafka and Silver Wolf were just here to give us a taste of the game. No way theyâd let us use such broken characters right from the start!â
âThey made their entrance so dramatically, casually wiping out entire enemy mobs with
one
ultimate move!â
âIf they handed us OP characters like this at the start, the main character would be
completely irrelevant
!â
âMark my wordsâwhen Kafka and Silver Wolf become playable, theyâll be
locked behind paywalls
for sure.â
âBut honestly?
Fair enough.
With such beautifully crafted ultimate skills, I wouldnât mind paying to support the devs.â
Main Characterâs Perspective Unlocks
As the
story switched
to the
main characterâs viewpoint
, the
pacing finally slowed down
.
After brief introductions between
Trailblazer, March 7th, and Dan Heng
â
March 7th
led the protagonist
towards the
Master Control Zone
,
While
Dan Heng
went off to locate
Arlan
from the Defense Department.
Chat Goes Wild Again
âLetâs
wait and see
if there are any other playable characters!â
âDoesnât matter how they release KafkaâIâM GETTING HER NO MATTER WHAT.â
âAh, youth⊠Back then, I foolishly thought the MC was the best pick. Now I see the
truth
âSilver Wolf is the real treasure.â
âI WANT THEM ALL! Iâve
already saved up a monthâs salary
âjust hurry up and drop them!â
âDEV TEAM, WHEREâS THE PURCHASE LINK?! TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY!â
Opening the Character Menu
Following the guide,
Guinaifen
opened the
character menu
.
Currently, there were
two characters
in the party:
Trailblazer (MC)
March 7th
âAlright, listen up, everyone! The moment
Stellaron Hunters
become available, Iâm
100% pulling for them
!â
âNot just because theyâre strongâbut
their ultimates are ridiculously cool!
â
âFor now, it looks like these two are our
starting characters
ââ
âAside from the MC, we also get
March 7th
from the Astral Express crew!â
The
UI stats
were
pretty standard
â
HP, Attack, Crit Rate, Crit Damageâ
Same as
most
RPGs, so
no need for extra explanation
.
âBUT! Hereâs what makes
this game unique
ââ
âEvery character has a
distinct Element and Path!
â
âLook at
Trailblazer
(MC) in my partyââ
âTheyâre a
Physical-Type Destruction character!
â
âAnd our lovely
March 7th
from the Express Crew? Sheâs an
Ice-Type Preservation character!
â
While explaining, Guinaifen had the MC pick up a
baseball bat
as a
temporary weapon
.
Soon afterâ
They encountered
stray members of the Antimatter Legion
.
This marked the
first battle
for both the
MC and March 7th
.
Expectations Were Low⊠Untilâ
âAlright, letâs see
what their skills look like
.â
âTo be honest?
Iâm not expecting much.
â
âAs long as their moves have
half the impact
of Kafka and Silver Wolf, Iâll be satisfied.â
âAfter all, our MC is swinging a
baseball bat
, and March 7th doesnât exactly
scream combat expert
.â
Soonâ
Energy was fully charged.
Guinaifen
immediately activated
March 7thâs
ultimate skill
.
âSWOOSH!â
A
glimpse of March 7thâs lively artwork
flashed across the screen.
[Time for an Ice Rain Barrage]âUNLEASHED.
âGuess I should get serious for once~â
She
lightly ran a finger
along the hem of her skirtâ
And
in an instant
, a
frosted arrow
formed in her hands.
âTake this! Feel the power of the great March 7th!â
Grinning
cheerfully
, she
drew back her bowstring
,
Then
leaped into the air
, firing her shot with a dramatic
flourish
.
The
frost arrow
split apart mid-flight
, transforming into
multiple mini-Pom-Pom plushies
,
Which then
rained down in a full-scale bombardment
.
Guinaifenâs
eyes lit up instantly
.
âWAITââ
âShe has a
cinematic ultimate animation
just like Kafka and Silver Wolf?!â
âDamn! This skill effect is actually
pretty damn good!
â
âI
LOVE
energetic girls like March 7thâsheâs so adorable, just like me!â
Chat Goes Into Shock Mode
âWait a minute⊠are you telling me EVERY character has a
special animation
for their ultimate?â
âEven without Kafka or Silver Wolf, getting
March 7th
for free at the start is
INSANELY generous
!â
âIn other gacha games, a character with animations
this polished
would
easily cost
at least
100,000 Credits!
â
âThis game doesnât even have a
recharge menu
yet⊠IâM CRYING!â
