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.

so does your world have super-realistic video games with that vr shit where dying feels real?

[After a bit she sends another comment.]

oh yeah and you can call me nira tyr. got a lot of blanks in my memory and i feel i've forgotten some really important people though. i've got two 3-stars and a 4-star. still not sure what the ability does, the seal hates me, and the memory sucks.

[willworkfordps]

The video games thing: Yes, I lived in one before I ended up here.

The regains thing: What kind of seal are we talking about here? If it's the kind with flippers, then that has weird implications.

[ladyporthos]

man i think this memory might be yours then

[She sends a blurry pic of an official-looking stamp seal.]

it looks innocuous but it is actually a menace

i tried to stamp something with it to feel important and it literally jumped out of my hand

i tried again and it hit me in the face

[willworkfordps]

I'd buy it off you for some orbs, but there's actually at least three people from that game here, so there's good odds it's not mine. Also, I don't really have anything good for trades at this point.

That seal sounds incredible.

[ladyporthos]

wow seriously? i'm not sure if i should be jealous or not. wish i had someone around who might be able to fill in my memories.

i guess it could make a good projectile weapon if i figure out how to direct it.

[willworkfordps]

That would be hilarious and you should totally do it.

[ladyporthos]

maybe i could throw both the seal and paper at them. actually maybe i should figure out what else the seal reacts to in the first place.
