Chapter 11 - Free March 7th at the Start? I'm Crying!

Chapter 11: Free March 7th at the Start? I’m 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.

“If only I had a glass of wine right now…”

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

.

Finally—

A smirk

curved at the corner of her lips

.

“Got it!”

She pointed at a

graffiti-style symbol

on the screen, turning to Kafka

with a hint of pride

.

“Remember this? The digital graffiti I left in the [Herta] Space Station—it’s actually a

backdoor

program I implanted to hack into their system.”

“And just now? I successfully broke through.”

Silver Wolf

pulled down

her

visor

as she spoke.

Kafka chuckled

lightly

.

“So… what are you planning next?”

“Obviously, I’m gonna

snatch a game cartridge

of [Punk-Lorde Spirit].”

Silver Wolf responded

without hesitation

.

“There hasn’t been anything fun to play recently, and I’m

bored to death

. This is the

only

thing that remotely piques my interest.”

“Well then, good luck to you~”

Kafka

raised her hand

, making a

mocking toast gesture

.

Then—

She

resumed

enjoying her rare moment of

peace and quiet

.

Meanwhile,

Silver Wolf’s perspective

had already

shifted away

from the rooftop—

Her focus was now

deep inside the [Herta] Space Station

.

Livestream Chat: Pure Chaos

“I KNEW IT!”

“I had a hunch that Kafka and Silver Wolf were just here to give us a taste of the game. No way they’d let us use such broken characters right from the start!”

“They made their entrance so dramatically, casually wiping out entire enemy mobs with

one

ultimate move!”

“If they handed us OP characters like this at the start, the main character would be

completely irrelevant

!”

“Mark my words—when Kafka and Silver Wolf become playable, they’ll be

locked behind paywalls

for sure.”

“But honestly?

Fair enough.

With such beautifully crafted ultimate skills, I wouldn’t mind paying to support the devs.”

Main Character’s Perspective Unlocks

As the

story switched

to the

main character’s viewpoint

, the

pacing finally slowed down

.

After brief introductions between

Trailblazer, March 7th, and Dan Heng

—

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

“Let’s

wait and see

if there are any other playable characters!”

“Doesn’t matter how they release Kafka—I’M GETTING HER NO MATTER WHAT.”

“Ah, youth… Back then, I foolishly thought the MC was the best pick. Now I see the

truth

—Silver Wolf is the real treasure.”

“I WANT THEM ALL! I’ve

already saved up a month’s salary

—just hurry up and drop them!”

“DEV TEAM, WHERE’S THE PURCHASE LINK?! TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY!”

Opening the Character Menu

Following the guide,

Guinaifen

opened the

character menu

.

Currently, there were

two characters

in the party:

Trailblazer (MC)

March 7th

“Alright, listen up, everyone! The moment

Stellaron Hunters

become available, I’m

100% pulling for them

!”

“Not just because they’re strong—but

their ultimates are ridiculously cool!

“

“For now, it looks like these two are our

starting characters

—”

“Aside from the MC, we also get

March 7th

from the Astral Express crew!”

The

UI stats

were

pretty standard

—

HP, Attack, Crit Rate, Crit Damage—

Same as

most

RPGs, so

no need for extra explanation

.

“BUT! Here’s what makes

this game unique

—”

“Every character has a

distinct Element and Path!

“

“Look at

Trailblazer

(MC) in my party—”

“They’re a

Physical-Type Destruction character!

“

“And our lovely

March 7th

from the Express Crew? She’s an

Ice-Type Preservation character!

“

While explaining, Guinaifen had the MC pick up a

baseball bat

as a

temporary weapon

.

Soon after—

They encountered

stray members of the Antimatter Legion

.

This marked the

first battle

for both the

MC and March 7th

.

Expectations Were Low… Until—

“Alright, let’s see

what their skills look like

.”

“To be honest?

I’m not expecting much.

“

“As long as their moves have

half the impact

of Kafka and Silver Wolf, I’ll be satisfied.”

“After all, our MC is swinging a

baseball bat

, and March 7th doesn’t exactly

scream combat expert

.”

Soon—

Energy was fully charged.

Guinaifen

immediately activated

March 7th’s

ultimate skill

.

—SWOOSH!—

A

glimpse of March 7th’s lively artwork

flashed across the screen.

[Time for an Ice Rain Barrage]—UNLEASHED.

“Guess I should get serious for once~”

She

lightly ran a finger

along the hem of her skirt—

And

in an instant

, a

frosted arrow

formed in her hands.

“Take this! Feel the power of the great March 7th!”

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

.

Guinaifen’s

eyes lit up instantly

.

“WAIT—”

“She has a

cinematic ultimate animation

just like Kafka and Silver Wolf?!”

“Damn! This skill effect is actually

pretty damn good!

“

“I

LOVE

energetic girls like March 7th—she’s so adorable, just like me!”

Chat Goes Into Shock Mode

“Wait a minute… are you telling me EVERY character has a

special animation

for their ultimate?”

“Even without Kafka or Silver Wolf, getting

March 7th

for free at the start is

INSANELY generous

!”

“In other gacha games, a character with animations

this polished

would

easily cost

at least

100,000 Credits!

“

“This game doesn’t even have a

recharge menu

yet… I’M CRYING!”
