Ch.3 My Second Life is Just a Background!?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Fairy Flame Gerbil.

An adorable creature with a small body like a sparrow.

It excels at invisible flight, and has a cruel personality, as it will spot anyone who approaches with its invisible appearance, biting them hard, and then watch from above as they collapse from blood loss.

A raid monster whose territory is the Fairy Forest.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Yes, as you may have noticed, Fairy Flame Gerbil is a monster that appears in a game.

Oh my? It seems that in my second life I've become a part of the game, as one of the grasses spreading in the background. ... Why though?

The game in which this Fairy Flame Gerbil appears is a VRMMORPG.

The title is "Mystery of Life 3." It's the third installment in the popular AI-developed VR game series. Let's call it MOL from now.

Although it has a simple title with no particular plot, it's popular due to its high degree of freedom, allowing players (which are called explorers in the game) to do the same things as in real life, even though it's inside a game.

For example, if a player cut someone with a sword, the cut will split open and bleed, and if a player hit a building with a hammer with enough firepower, a single person can even destroy the walls of a castle.

However, if a player destroy such an important building, that player will become a wanted criminal.

The game offers such a high degree of freedom, allowing players to adventure, cook, smith, and even marry NPCs, which is why it has received such high reviews.

Of course, Players' possessions (items, houses, etc.) are basically indestructible, and the traditional respawn system is still in place, so your progress won't be lost just because you die.

That's definitely the biggest reason for its popularity.

If you die once and have to start over from character creation, it wouldn't be as popular as it is. Players of this game don't want that kind of realism.

So, it seems that I have been given a second life in this MOL world.

Yes, yes, that's right. I kind of get it.

If a dangerous player set fire to this forest, I'll probably die.
