Ding!
[Hidden Demon Race Quest has been completed.]
[Your demon appearance has been upgraded.]
Upon reading the notification, a strange sensation washed over Hiro’s body. All of a sudden, his heart began to beat at a much faster rhythm than before. He could also feel the blood in his veins flow fiercer and the muscles under his skin tense up.
In just a matter of seconds, Hiro could sense his body becoming slightly more muscular. His body’s muscle mass had been increased by the system.
[Energy has increased to 250.]

[Signature: NightFall]
Hiro was extremely satisfied when he read the description of his newly-acquired weapon.
“This is amazing!”
One objective was achieved, and now onto the next one.
Obtaining a regular plot.
After being teleported out of the dungeon and meeting NPC Rosemary who had been waiting for him at the exit for who knows how long, Hiro could finally leave the old hut.
[02:00 PM Server Time]
Ding!
[Liberty is trying to contact you]
“Libe.”
“Hiro! It’s finally connected! What were you doing? Why were you unreachable for so long? Where are you now?”
“Sorry, I just finished something. I’m on my way to the Marketplace.”
“Eh? Really? What a coincidence, I’m actually in front of the Marketplace right now! I’ll be waiting for you then, see you!”
Beep!
Hiro sighed. Even after the call was cut off, he could feel his ears ringing from how loud the girl’s voice was.
…
After a few minutes of walking back to Beginner Town, Hiro and Liberty finally met in front of the Marketplace building. The two went in together, but they had to be separated by Nyx the Asdroid soon after as they had different objectives.
After greeting the two new customers, Nyx split itself into two to assist both Hiro and Liberty in shopping. Liberty came to the Marketplace to buy clothes, while Hiro came to look at the plots he could buy when he had enough LSC.
The two were then teleported to different rooms.
[Regular Plots for Sale]
Hiro’s eyes lit up when he saw a plot available at the west gate of Beginner Town, the location that had repeatedly attracted his attention. As for the price listed, all the regular plots available had the same price. No matter what potential resources were in the area, they were all priced at 10,000LSC each.
Even though no details about the potential resources in the regular plots were given, Hiro knew well which plots would be beneficial for him.
Each regular plot was sold with the size of 20 empty slots on the in-game map, and these 20 slots could be designed and utilized freely by the owner. Several regular plots already had 3–4 NPCs occupying a spot each, which left only 16–17 slots available to build on.
There was even a plot that had a giant natural stone that occupied 6 slots at once, and some regular plots even had 10 slots occupied by either mountains or cliffs, leaving only 10 free slots left.
However, Hiro became confused when he saw 10 server options appear.
1. North America
2. South America
3. EU
4. CIS
5. Africa
6. Middle East
7. China
8. Japan
9. SEA
10. Australia & The Pacific
Meanwhile, on his profile was…
[NightFall’s current server: CBT server]
“…”
‘A sample server before the game’s release, huh? Looks like I have to choose a fixed server before the game officially releases.’
“Hmm…”
He carefully thought about it. Meanwhile, Nyx was floating in front of him, waiting for Hiro to make a decision on which available regular plot he wanted to buy.
“Player NightFall, is there anything Nyx can help you with? If you’re having difficulties choosing a server to buy a regular plot in, Nyx recommends you buy one according to the region of your IP address.”
“My IP address? Tokyo? The Japan server?”
A notification suddenly appeared on Hiro’s HUD.
Ding!
[Nyx has sent your IP address region.]
[Your current IP address is…]
[Washington, District of Columbia, USA]
[Recommended server to buy the regular plot: North America]
“???”
It took him a few moments to process what it was saying. He re-read it a few times to check, but it seems that he read it right the first time after all. He turned to Nyx and asked it to re-check, but even after doing it thrice a row, he still received the same answer.
[Washington, District of Columbia, USA]
“Just what the hell…?”
‘Is my IP address bugged? I definitely logged in from Japan using the apartment’s Wi-Fi. How did my region address even become America? Did my body move on its own when I logged in??’
Hiro dryly laughed. “No way that’s true! What is this, a fantasy novel?”
‘Yuujin… did you arrange all this? Are you playing tricks on me? Just you wait, I’ll get you back!’
“Nyx, can you-”
Ding!
[Nyx’s time is up.]
[You will be teleported to the Marketplace lobby.]
“…”
“Did I just get kicked out of the store?”
Before he could dwell on the matter, he suddenly had a headache. Without warning, a piece of information was forcefully crammed into his mind. Not only was it painful, but it also felt as if his head was overheating from thinking too much for too long.
“Hiro!”
Liberty appeared in front of him with new clothes. Unlike before, she was now wearing a long ocean blue dress perfectly fitting her beautiful body. A pair of thigh-high slits were on the dress’s sides, exposing her perfect thighs.
The girl sweetly smiled. She couldn’t wait to see Hiro’s reaction when he saw her new clothes.
Meanwhile, the person in question’s jaw dropped.
“What do you think, Hiro?”
“That looks a bit tight. Can you breathe with a dress like that?” Hiro tried to stay cool, but inside, he was screaming his lungs out.
‘This girl, she’s 100% my type! Ahhh! Is she a princess in real life or what!?’
“I also have one for you.”
“Huh?”
Ding!
[Liberty has sent you a gift.]
[You have received a new costume, ‘Night Ocean Cloak’.]
The uniform that had been ripped and torn numerous times but would always revert to its original state slowly disappeared and was immediately replaced by a knee-length robe with a blue and black color combination, fabric trousers, and a pair of black high boots.
Hiro’s new costume was a couple item with the [Night Ocean Dress] Liberty was wearing. And like how a part of her thighs was exposed, a part of Hiro’s chest and abdominal muscles were also exposed.
“Wow! You must be taking care of your body well, Hiro.”
“Of course.” Hiro lied.
He inwardly rejoiced he completed the demon quest before coming here. Because of that, his body now looked more muscular than his original body.
“We look like a couple now!” Liberty looked at her dress and his cloak back and forther, her eyes brimming with excitement.
Hiro couldn’t understand why the girl was so excited because of a costume, but he still showed a charming smile.
“Is this for me? How much LSC do I have to pay?”
“…”
“It’s for you, Hiro. I bought it for you, you don’t need to repay me.”
Hiro checked his HUD to see how much the costume cost.
[Night Ocean Cloak (High Durability) 5,500LSC]
[Night Ocean Dress (High Durability) 8,000LSC]
“…”
“What the…”
Hiro looked at the girl with a strange gaze. How could she buy a costume priced equivalent to 13,500USD in just one shopping trip!?
‘Is she actually a princess!?’
