Good evening, fellow doomed people. We should come up with a better name than that.

This is Orion Kislev, Level 70 Healer/Chronomancer, formerly. In case any of you come from a planet that doesn't have video games for some reason, this whole place seems to be based on those to some extent, and that means we're probably all doomed to get addicted to whaling for Orbs deep into the hours of the night. As soon as we figure out how that works, anyway.

So far, we mainly have this whole... slime... situation. I've spent a bit of time over on Slimeworld and it seems like it gets pretty complex once you get into it. Judging by the info I've been able to pick up, you'll need a combination of opposing gem slimes and color slimes to stand a chance in the harder dungeons, then to focus on long chains of 4-combos to maximize damage output. Or something, I'm still sorting out the details.

These pink slimes, though. I went over all the numbers, talked to any locals I could about any kind of secret special powers they have or anything. As far as I can tell, nothing. They're bullshit trap options with no redeeming characteristics, and I have a sneaking suspicion that this Sensei person does not have our best interests at heart.

No idea what to make of the pulls. I got a 5-star right off the bat, so either I'm blessed with abnormal luck or the rates are actually pretty decent. I'm gonna be trying to sort out the game mechanics for this world as I go, since none of this came with a particularly helpful instruction manual. Let me know if you figure anything out, I'm gonna try to get a wiki together eventually.

Orion out.

I can't remember my name Orion Kislev-it seems they took all my memories. But I got two four-star pulls and one five-star, if that helps your research at all.

[willworkfordps]

My condolences re: Memories, but on the other hand that sounds like one damn hell of a roll. Unless 6-stars are a thing in this game.

What did you get?

[senkan_yamato]

One memory, the five-star, of a fight with a demon king who used to be a human, a truly worthy battle that was almost certainly not my own memory. And two abilities, one to summon various spirits of great power, and the other to heal and restore allies.

[willworkfordps]

Sounds like you're basically the most OP person here for now.

[senkan_yamato]

Thank you but I must confess, I have very litte idea how to use these abilities properly. It is rather like having the ability to paint, but no inspiration or familiarity with what styles are best suited.

[willworkfordps]

Practice would probably take care of that. Although, I mean, practicing healing is a bit tricky if you don't spend a lot of time around injured people.

[senkan_yamato]

Thankfully, while rambunctious, the slimes don't actually seem to malicious or to cause much harm. Getting practice with the healing might be worse than not having much opportunity to use it.

[willworkfordps]

Wait, shit, that's it. Heal the slimes. Boom, free practice.

[senkan_yamato]

Is

Is that allowed?

[willworkfordps]

Counterpoint: Who gives a shit if it isn't?

[senkan_yamato]

It feels a bit illegitimate and I am afraid that I do not understand the slime fighting. Any bit of it. But like...it should be against the rules?

[willworkfordps]

Know what else is against the rules? Kidnapping a bunch of people and making them play shitty slime games to get their memories back.

[senkan_yamato]

True. But on the other hand, why should I give them the satisfaction then?

[willworkfordps]

FOR THE ORBS.
