HC:Pacifist | Ch. 12 - Reverse Rampage

Walter, Will, and Wesley worked together for an insurance company. Their supervisor had been trying to convince them to try AstroTerra out and had even offered them a day off if they were willing to give it a go. At first, the three friends were hesitant. In the MMORPG they had been playing for years, they were all top-leveled, and it was hard to let go of all those hours of progress. But after getting a taste of AstroTerra, they were hooked. They sold all their stuff in the other game for re...

HC:Pacifist | Ch. 11 - Marathonist

It had been days of non-stop running and reading for Roth. He was sure that if reading the forum counted, he would have unlocked some title like "running reader" or "I can read and run without falling on my face." Alas, he hadn't. Nevertheless, reading the forums allowed him to gain a good overview of the game's inner workings. The knowledge that at the start of AstroTerra came at a premium cost was now considered common, and he could access much of it in the forums for free.

As for the...

HC:Pacifist | Ch. 10 - Find Him!

A dark green blur crossed the mouse fields surrounding Greenfield Village. It was so quick that beginners hunting the little rodents didn’t notice it. Only the ones with more acute gaming senses felt a breeze. Gary used all the speed bonuses he could muster to cover as much ground as possible. His class granted him bonuses to his running speed, and many of his active skills were dashes that allowed him to close in or create a gap between himself and his opponent. He had already been through...

HC:Pacifist | Ch. 9 - Forums

Roth kept running toward Littlerock Town. The trip had been significantly faster with the added buffs of the [Errand Cloak] and [Crappy Shoes]. After running for two hours, he received two more notifications that were music to his ears.

You have run 20 kilometers in under two hours! By practicing running, you become faster. +1 dexterity.

HC:Pacifist | Ch. 8 - Loki

Loki looked down from his window. He had one of the finest views of the city. It was only appropriate that he could look down on everyone from here; after all, he was of a superior breed and intellect. Across his massive desk and on the other side of the shimmering force field he always kept turned on stood his five pawns. They patiently waited for him to start looking at the footage they had brought him, but Loki was enjoying making them wait. They seemed scared of him. They tried their best...

HC:Pacifist | Ch. 7 - Errand Cloak

Roth ran on the cobblestone road. The package he was carrying was quite heavy.

Bartholomew's Package (quest item)

Item description: a package that is quite heavy, considering its size. It seems valuable.

Weight: 35kg

Fortunately, since he had no items to his name, and thanks to the [Horse Gallop] bonus, the weight did not hinder his traveling speed. Had it been over his weight-carrying limit, he guessed that he would h...

HC:Pacifist | Ch. 6 - Bartholomew, the Merchant

The game Roth used to play also had a title system. Some titles were awarded by completing quests, others by doing something unique inside the game, or by completing hidden challenges or achievements. Back then, some titles were regarded as powerful as epic or legendary items! He hurried to check out the description of this one. This had to be the explanation for his death penalties being canceled.

Title: Martyr (Unique)

Title description: You have died a ...
