Accessory: Cursed Ring
Drop rate: low
・ Sets wearer’s HP to 1.
Accessory: Evil God’s Covenant Necklace
Drop rate: very low
・ Triples the wearer’s luck while at 1 HP.
“Who’d wear this crap?! A ring that sets HP to 1 is obviously junk, and who needs a necklace that only boosts luck?! You’d obviously want more strength and agility in situations where you’re down to 1 HP!”
I really couldn’t be unluckier. If I’m gonna get rare drops, I’d rather get more crafting materials. What am I supposed to do with these? I could only wear three accessories at a time, and the common advice was not to waste those precious slots on anything but straightforward accessories that provided constant stat boosts.
Unless you’re totally twisted, wearing this junk would be...
Hey, hold on a second. A single hit wipes out all my HP anyhow, so I may as well have 1 HP... And triple luck’s gonna make Last Stand trigger more! Won’t these actually make me tougher?! And not just that—if my luck’s way higher, it’ll help my damage boost skills trigger. I’ll be more destructive than ever before!
“Awwww yeah! I think I can work with this! I might actually clear the tomb with a pure luck build!”
Since there’s no time like the present, I equipped both items immediately. My HP was stuck at 1, but it pushed my luck above 600! (With all other stats still at 0, naturally!) “Let’s give it a shot! Watch out, zombies and living weapons! I’m about to drive your kind extinct!”
It felt great to have the answers to all my problems. I charged back into the tomb exhilarated, ready for a rematch!

“Raaagh! Eat dirt, undead scum! Arts activate: Speed Burst, Power Burst!”
“Guhguurgh?!”
I used my summoner abilities to power up Puffster, then I set him loose to eradicate the zombie scourge. Clad in his umbral haze, Puffster’s arrow traced an erratic path through the air as it skewered one zombie after another.
✦ ✦ ✦
Skill active: Giant Killer! Damage up!
Skill active: Fatal Strike! Damage up!
Critical hit! Massive damage dealt to a weak point!
Skill active: Merciless Death God! Your critical hit damage was boosted further!
You defeated 8 murder zombies! Yuri and Puffster gained experience!
Yuri reached level 15!
Nice! My skills are triggering a bunch, and I leveled up again! These dumb accessories really turned the tide! They might be stupid, but I’m so smart that my intelligence cancels out their dumbness, turning them into normal accessories! Bwah ha ha ha! Plus and minus make zero!
“Currssss...!”
“Huh? What’s that, Puffster?”
For some reason, Puffster flew through the air tracing out “− × −.”
What’s that meant to be? One times one? I don’t get it! I had to laugh at my cute underling’s adorable antics. But I wouldn’t be laughing for long—the ground beside me suddenly bulged up, and then two zombies sprung out!
“Guhgurgh!”
“Kiiiilll...”
Both zombies lunged at me with drool pouring from their open mouths! Puffster had gotten too far away while messing around, leaving me dangerously exposed. “Last Stand! Hnnngh!”
Just as I hoped, Last Stand triggered the instant they attacked me. I’d already been at 1 HP, so I’d more or less survived unscathed! Next came the counterattack. “Puff 2! Puff 3! You’re both up!”
“Currrssssss!” cried the murky arrows that appeared in either of my hands. I dual wielded them to slash at the throats of both zombies, and thanks to getting critical hits and some damage boosts, I killed both with a single attack.
“Got ’em! Nice work on your first assignment, you two!”
“Curssss!” The two arrows gave me a lively shriek, as if to say, “We couldn’t have done it without your leadership, Miss Chairman!” These two were both living weapons that I’d found while rampaging through the Tomb of the Death God. I’d just happened to find them wandering side by side, and I’d defeated and tamed them both at once!
It came as a surprise because I hadn’t tamed any monsters since Puffster, despite having defeated hoards of them. It seemed there was some system where monsters were more easily tamed if defeated with a monster of the same type.
If I can confirm it, maybe I’ll add that info to the online guide...
“Let’s keep going! Soon I’ll have this tomb utterly conquered! And with a few more living weapons on my side, I’ll have a rebel gang at my command!”
“Curssss!” Puffster and the two newcomers were raring to go, so I headed deeper into the tomb alongside my floating underlings.

What’s the game’s story, and what are you supposed to be doing?
I don’t know anything. I only bought it because it’s the most advanced VR game.

A Demon Lord filled the world with dungeons, and it’s like you’ve gotta kill the boss in each one to bring about world peace or something.
But obviously the bosses come back every time because it’s a game lol.
283. Impatient Adventurer
>> 282
Didn’t they announce the name of the first player to kill each boss during the beta test?
The new server’s been up for two days now. Have the top players really not cleared any dungeons yet?
Tomb of the Death God is supposedly doable at around level 15.

The undead monsters are a pain in the ass!
Try to fight at close range, and you’ll take a ton of damage because they keep coming at you even after you cut their arms and legs off.
They pop out from the ground too, so even rear party members can’t catch a break.
The theory during the beta test was that you’re meant to get to about level 30 then blast them all away at once with big attacks.

If you’re looking for a level 15 dungeon, the Goblin Fortress to the north or the Underwater Temple to the south are better options.
Both take a long time to get to from the Starting Plain, but anything’s better than the Tomb of Pain lol

lmao the noobs always see it and say “wow, we’ve found a dungeon already!”

Speaking of the zombies, what’s the point of the Cursed Ring they drop?
All it does is set your HP to 1...
315. Impatient Adventurer
>> 310
Dropping to 1 HP can force some of your skills to trigger.
e.g., Hysterical Strength triples your strength when you’re at 1 HP.
That said, I doubt anyone’s gonna get through the whole game on the verge of death lol. You’d have to be twisted to think that’s a good idea lol.

>> 315
You can just learn Last Stand! Then spend every single point on luck so it always triggers! Flawless strategy!
350. Impatient Adventurer
>> 333
lmao! Hysterical Strength won’t do anything if your base strength is 0 idiot.
It’s more of a joke item. Anyone who wears it when they’re taking the game seriously would have to be twisted lol.
