A few minutes after our pointless fight reached its conclusion, we’d both cooled off. I was drenched in sweat and resting my hands on my knees, while Baldy lay defeated on the ground in front of me.
“Ugghh... Haaah... I almost had you! You’re tougher than you look, Yuri!”
“Haah... Haah... That wasn’t my first fight! Getting jumped by thugs outside the convenience store has been a daily thing for me for as long as I can remember!”
“How can anyone be that unlucky?!” Baldy bellowed. He looked like he still had some energy left in him, and not just because of his brawny avatar.
A win was a win, but I knew Baldy could’ve kicked my ass in an instant if he’d used skills or arts during our fight. I could guess he’d gone easy on me since he knew that I’d put all my points into luck and wasn’t much stronger here than in real life.
I pinched the top of my sweat-soaked dress and fanned myself with it a little before extending my hand to help Baldy up. “You’re not a bad guy,” I told him. “You helped me let off some steam there.”
“Heh. That’s a funny thing to say to someone you just beat the crap out of. I figured it’d be unfair to buff my stats, but otherwise, I was giving that fight all I had.” Baldy flashed me a manly smile as he reached for my hand.
As I pulled him to his feet, I suddenly realized that we’d drawn a crowd. Hey, we’re not putting on a show here!
“Bwah ha ha ha. Yeah, the sight of a babe and a punk fighting’s gonna draw a crowd, all right! So what are you gonna do now, Yuri? Gonna make a new character without falling for troll advice this time?”
“Hmmm... Nah. I’ll roll with what I’ve got for now! You never know. I might find a way to make it work.”
Baldy patted me on the back and roared with laughter. “Nice idea! Climb the ranks, then have the last laugh over those trolls!”
I was smiling as we parted ways. My next task would be to find a good hunting spot.

I know him. He’s the one who played like a mercenary, working with all the top guilds in the beta test.
Not that he looks like a soldier. More like barbarian vibes tbh...

He might look like he’s been fighting for his life in the apocalypse, but he’s a good guy lol.
The girls all hate him for being a creep tho.

Everyone’s saying she’s a hot girl, but you don’t know how she looks irl. Do hot girls even play video games?

You’re clueless! It’s not like in ancient MMOs! VR games base the avatar on your real face! That means she’s 100% hot in real life! Let me dream!
Here’s the clip if anyone wants it. I was there when it happened, so I recorded it. http://*******
