 We spent three whole days learning the Transformation.

 We should wait for fate to strike, or perhaps we should just wait for fate to come to us, but once we have three equipment, skills, and targets that are easy to deal Zorome damage to, the rest is all luck. That's why it took me a while.

 Well, that's okay. It's.

 ...... What I had feared became a reality.


"In the name of knightly justice, I condemn you--transformation!

 In the garden of a mansion in the east.
 Sylvia is practicing her pose by herself against a palm tree, as if she thinks no one is watching her. Before you know it, she's even prepared to call out to you.

"Hmmm, my chivalry ...... no, count your sins ......

 And there's no shortage of improvements.

 It's very suspicious that he walks around mumbling to himself with his hand on his chin while transforming, but once he transforms, the transformation won't be released until the end of his transformation time.

 By the way, it's pretty simple to figure out what you'll look like after the transformation. The color and pattern of the equipment he's wearing now will change, and he'll also be equipped with a mask and cape. You can choose one of the four major attributes to transform into. In Silvia's case, it was the 'Fire Attribute Transformation', which means her equipment was the color of fire, and she wore a cloak that looked like a flame and a mask with a flame motif.

 However, as you might expect from a game, it's not just a "flame pattern". "It's a moving flame pattern. It's also 3D. It looks as if the whole body is actually on fire. This is an unbelievable appearance in real life, which is why it's so cool. That's the main reason why Sylvia was hooked on this game.

 Well. When I chose this attribute, something unexpected happened to me.

 That's right, in my case, I was able to select the "Thunderbolt Transformation" option. Of course, I've never heard of transforming into anything other than the four major attributes.

 I was even more surprised when I actually transformed. I'm not a fan of Angolmore's reddish-black lightning; I'm a blue-black lightning. It was gushing all over my body. I've never seen a cape or a mask before.

 I've never seen a "design" before - no way. I'm not sure if it was originally designed as a hidden element, or if it was newly designed.

 If it's the former, there's no problem. If it's the latter, this world has probably been updated.

 In other words, there will be more elements that I don't know about in the future. It's both unsettling and exciting at the same time.

 Well, it's a problem that I can't help but worry about now. But I have to keep that in mind. Because if we reign as the world's number one, we will have to face it sooner or later.

"Tenchu no oh--first shot!

 I pretended I didn't see Silvia, who had finally begun practicing her special move, and went to visit Yukari.
 In order to order a certain weapon and armor, as well as a "performance enhancement" - in addition to that.




 It had been a while since then.
 It's been about two weeks. We've been gaining experience the whole time.

 I have friends. I have a home to go back to. The house is a mansion. How good is that? Our motivation was full of energy.

 However, Sylvia and Eco's Dragon Horse and Dragon King were hard to raise. The required experience level is ridiculously high. The experience required is ridiculously high, and Silvia's Transformation is even less efficient because she wasted no time in raising it.

 On the other hand, Yukari's "Dismantling" skill was improving quite nicely. It's finally going to be time to start playing an active role as a blacksmith.

 And I...

...... Yeah, I'm ready to go.

 --It's done. The preparations have been completed.

 I've just brought my Transformation up to 9th dan.
 "The skills needed for "Preparation" are 《Flying Car Archery》 9th Dan, 《Angle Row Sword Art》 9th Dan, 《Dragon King Sword Art》 6th Dan, 《Lightning Attribute, Sanno Type》 6th Dan, 《Critical》 9th Dan, 《Spirit Possession》 9th Dan, 《Transformation》 9th Dan, and 《Tame》 11th Level.

 For the magic, I could have used any attribute, but I chose the lightning attribute because it was a good choice. The 《Transformation》 is a low experience level game, so I immediately changed to 9-dan. The dragon king's swordsmanship, if I was honest, I would have liked to have the 9-dan, but I decided against it because even if you go from 6-dan to 9-dan, you need an absurd amount of experience.

 《Tame》 is a demon training skill in the 【Summoning Technique】 system, and starting at 11th level, it is possible to tame a "wolf-type demon". It is said that you can use it when the demon has less than 20% of its HP left, and the average success rate is said to be 20%, but the rate varies greatly depending on the type and strength of the target demon. By the way, the higher the skill rank is, the more success probability corrections and types of monsters you can tame will increase.

 Now, let's see.
 What in the world was I preparing for?

 It's the preparation for taming a certain demon ...... no, a demon.

 The name is the "dark wolf".

 The Dark Wolf, a mutant of the Black Flame Wolf, the boss of the Aisoloyce dungeon, is a hostile character who is a rare wolf demon evolved by hundreds of years of solitude in the everlasting darkness.

 ...... Let's get straight to the point.
 It's not an exaggeration to say that the reason I'm ranked number one in the world in Mevion is because I tamed this demon. He was a cheat-class being that was far more powerful than any other monster I could tame.

 In other words, he was the number one choice for me in my ranking of monsters to tame.

 There was only one person who had ever tamed a dark wolf in the past, and that was me. That's right, it's me. At least while I was playing Mevion, no one else could have tamed it.

 Why? Because it was difficult to the point of near impossibility.

 The idea of "taming a dark wolf" is impossible for the average player. It's just that the bosses can't be tamed. It's just common sense.
 On top of that, the Dark Wolves were incredibly strong. They were so strong that the cripples of the time had a hard time with them. That's why no one could even think of taming them.

 But the fact is that the dark wolves can be tamed. The reason is simple. The dark wolf is a further evolution of the boss's mutant species, and is treated as a separate entity from the boss.

 I realized this fact in 'How the Corpses Disappear'. Normally, when you defeat the boss in a Class-A dungeon, a special movie is always inserted and the corpse disappears during the movie. However, in the case of the Dark Wolf, there was no movie, and after a certain amount of time had passed, the corpse disappeared 'just like a normal demon'.

 Hmm, very suspicious. I thought that there might be a chance - so I repeatedly tried to reduce the wolf's HP to less than 20% and then tamed it.

 The results were disastrous, and after 1,000 times, I was 90% sure that I couldn't get the game to taste.

 In the beginning, I was going to try it up to 1,000 times. Then, after 1,000 attempts, it was no use. But why was it so hard to give up? It was strange that I couldn't give up. No matter how many times you look at it, the way the corpse disappears is the same as a normal demon. That's why the dark wolf shouldn't be the boss.

 In any case, I couldn't believe that my reasoning was wrong.

 I got more and more pissed off, or rather stubborn, and continued to hunt the dark wolf endlessly after that, two thousand, three thousand times, day after day, from morning to night. Every day, from morning till night. I wanted to settle the matter as quickly as possible, so I pushed myself halfway through. This paid off. Because it was a short-lived battle, he was able to maintain his motivation.

 And finally, after the 4600th time, I got my time. Yes, I was right after all!

 I found out later that the tame probability was about 0.0001%, and the skill correction was disabled. I remember almost losing my temper when a GM I met at an in-game event told me, "We were just joking about it, but you're really good at taming it!

 Hearing that information, all the cripples started taming the wolf. However, not a single player who had successfully tamed a wolf appeared afterwards.
 It was natural. Even the criminals would have a hard time with it, and with a 0.0001% chance of taming it, it was nothing short of Shura. I'm not going to be the only one who can do that," he said, and the wiki was full of such complaints.


 ............ I'm going to challenge that impossibility once again, and I'm ready for it. I'm ready for it.

 The way to get laid was invented by me in the past. I remember it all by heart. You could call it a complete strategy. You can cut down on HP without letting the dark wolves get an arm and a leg. But this world is just like Mevion, only decidedly different.

If you die, it's over.

 But as long as you can time the dark wolf, you're as good as ranked number one in the world. There's no way we can't do it, right?

 It's been a long time since I've felt afraid.

 I could die. I took as few risks as I could. I have insurance in case of emergency. But I can't shake my fears.

 ...... Just to be sure, I'm going to raise the Dragon King Sword Art to the ninth level. I have to raise the 《Lightning Attribute and Sanno Type》 to the 9th level as well. Simply raise the status even higher. You can't go wrong with it after securing more safety.

 Yeah, that's right! And. The weak part of me screamed out loud. I forcefully gulp them down and push them to the back of my throat. If I start talking about safety, there's no end to it. I'll just keep running away and making excuses and never being able to stand up to them. In Mevion, there is no "escape" for me. There is no "escape" for me in Mevion, in fact, there is no "escape" for me in Mevion, because once I escape, everything about me will fall apart.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find it in your heart to do so. I'm not going to be able to get out of this mess until it's too late. I have to tame the dark wolf before the sparks of that fire fall on me.
 Since I don't know how long it will be before I can tame it, it's now or never, timing wise. That was painfully obvious.


'Ooh, let's finish up.

 I ruminated long and hard on my resolve, which should have been decided long ago, and then headed to Yukari.

 As for her, the equipment I had asked for would be completed before anything else.

 The Mithril Longbow and Mithril Longsword, plus various mithril alloy armor. Weapons are ordered with 5 out of 6 enhancements and armor is ordered with 4 out of 5 enhancements. Enhancements include attack speed and attack strength, respectively. All protective gear has a defensive strength. Furthermore, I had also requested a three-level enhancement of the "Ring of Pursuit".

 Suddenly I realized that Yukari's abuse is in trouble. Yukari's overuse is in trouble.
 But without Yukari, the world's number one position is unthinkable at this time. Hmmm...... Yeah, that's right. The only thing I'd like to see is for you to take it easy while I'm screwing the dark wolf.

 But not Sylvia, Eco, and you guys.
 Lately, these guys have been living in the lap of luxury. There are more and more times when they don't know what they're doing. If they don't do this, they will get hurt someday. If this situation is bad, it will lead to the danger of his life. So I've come up with an intense training menu for the two of us.

 While I receive the equipment from Yukari, I'm going to hold a strategy meeting with everyone.
 There are a lot of things that I need to tell everyone. Yes, for example, what to do if, for example, I were to die.

 Well, tonight is going to be a long night: ......
