The Extra’s Survival: Logging into the Game Master System!

"Avida. Can you tell me who those bastards were?"

She then took a step back, before looking at me with a serious expression. Her eyes narrowed at me with that smile turning serious for a moment before she sighed and then spoke,

"No. Let me do it. Or to be precise, me and Rebas. Since he is still alive, I think he would appreciate it if you don't interfere. Thanks for the concern though, glad to see there are still people who would take revenge for us."

Hearing her words, I sighed as I nodded at her. What she said was right. Unless it involves me personally, I should let Rebas handle this. It wouldn't be fair to steal his revenge.

"Ah! Evelin was missing you a lot," Avida spoke as she made a smile while I felt shivers down my spine.

"Boss? Why? What happened?" I asked in a hurried manner, to which an evil grin formed on Avida's face as she spoke,"she was speaking of how useful you would have been in a situation like this. She is currently on her way to get a better weapon. Rebas getting killed while she went tracking tickled her off badly, and now she wanted to take revenge so she went to improve her gear."

"Is the guy who killed Reba, okay?" Now I was worried about the guy who got Boss on her tail. Seems like I wasn't really needed here.

"Well. They had a big fight but given how everything was favorable for that bastard in that tutorial, the fight was a draw," Avida said and I sighed as well,

"Well. Fighting isn't Boss's main suit. If she had used tracking abilities, she would have trapped him good enough to kill him a dozen times."

Avida shook her head as she agreed,"yeah. But you know how boss is when she is angry."

"I guess so," I sighed before speaking," all right. Let's go meet the boss then. There are a couple of things that I need to tell you all. But let's do it together."

"Ah! I can't. I actually need to find a skill shop. From what we have collected so far, there should be a skill shop in this place. I and Invar went to search for a skill shop, while Boss and Levi went to find a good weapon shop," she spoke, which made me think for a brief moment before I continued,

"Then let's find them faster. I know a couple of shops for both."

"Wait! How do you know? Did you die too?!" She was shocked but I shook my head before I put my mask again and then erased my presence as I spoke again,

"I will tell you everything when we meet the others."

She was surprised but she didn't ask any more questions before she started following the direction of the butterfly that I created. A blue-black butterfly that left a blue shining hue behind it.

'Since there is only a single weapon shop in the vicinity, I think I know where the boss is,' I thought as I reached there within the next 10 minutes. I also took a liberty to observe Avida more properly as I wondered what her [Gift] is.

Though we had a rule in our group. Unless the front wants to reveal about their personal life, nobody ever asks even a single question. It was one the most important rules that made me stay with the group during a time when I wanted to do nothing with my past life. Also one of the main reasons, I don't really bother knowing too much about others unless it's really necessary.

"Are you telling me that each of these is 10 Million Points? What the heck are you talking about?!!! Do you have any idea how much trouble I had to go through to earn that many points?!" A shout came from inside of the shop. And based on the familiarity of the voice, it was pretty easy to distinguish who was inside there.

"Mam! I know you have just completed the tutorial but please understand that their prices are pretty cheap for the functions they offer. Any other place, you may not even get these at even 20 million points," the shopkeeper spoke with a rather troubled expression. His eyes looked at Boss for a few seconds before looking at the customer who silently left the shop without speaking a word.

I looked at the black haired girl Emily, our boss. She was a 24 year old woman with long black hair just like Alice. Though compared to Alice who was much more calm and collected, our Boss ran mostly on emotions and rules made by the last boss. They were her bible testaments in a way, causing various conflicts on her emotional values.

Though, if not for the last boss, her emotions would have been pretty much abused everywhere, so I guess it was a good thing?

"BOSSS!!" Avida raised her hand high up in the air while I removed my mask. Since there wasn't anyone else, I removed my illusion partially so that only Boss and Avida could see me. Even if there were a few people looking from the outside, they would only see boss and Avida arguigin with the shopkeeper.

"Avida? Huh? Why are you here? Dd you- Huh? Adrian? Oh!

That's why," Boss spoke as she reached the conclusion pretty fast before I put on the mask again while removing the Illusion, coming in the presence of the Shopkeeper as well.

"Why the mask? Anyways! Here! Which one should I choose and for how much price?" She then pushed on two items in front of me, in each of her hands.

[Amulet of the Wanderer!

Grade: B

Effects:

-Decreases the chances of getting lost on the path!

-Increases the eye sight of the user, allowing them to see 5 miles ahead!

-Path of Return: Creates a path to a known land where the user has visited at least once!]

[Cost: 10 Million Points!]

[Crossbow of Simplicity!

Grade: C

Effects:

+40 Strength!

+30 Agility!

+For every 10 Arrows shot, the bow shoots an elemental arrow containing an additional power of 50% of the base attack of the crossbow!]

[Cost: 8 Million Points!]

"Both are bad," I gave out my answer based on all the things that I have observed up until now.

Hearing my words, Boss sighed as she looked at me with a thankful gaze before passing the two things back to the shopkeeper. That guy though didn't like what I said as he glared at me before speaking,

"Hey! Are you downgrading my products? Who the heck even are you?!!"

"The amulet is good but with a [Map!] artifact which costs barely 200,000 Points and any C-Grade skill or above that is related to eye-sight, anyone can get 3 times more effects for less than 10 percent of the cost," I started with the amulet first. Then moving on to the crossbow,

"And everyone knows that C-Grade weapons cost in the range of 500,000 to 1 Million points. Nothing more than that."

His eyes widened for a few moments before he gritted his teeth. Unable to refute my words, he just glared at me before I spoke to Boss,

"I know a weapon shop. It's called [Pristine's Shop!] which will sell you some good artifacts and weapons. Though it's a bit costly, I think we can find some proper goods there."

Hearing that, the Boss smiled widely as she nodded before she started leaving from there. Ignoring the shopkeeper, who looked like he was planning something ominous, we left from there.

I think I heard 'You dare not fail the tutorial. Or else, I will personally make things hell for you,' which made me sigh again. Getting involved with boss always results in some form of conflict. It wasn't something that I got used to even after going through a dozen times or more.

"Hey Adrian! We are going for a hunt!" Boss, Evelin, spoke as she looked at me with a deep look. This was the most serious she has been ever since the last boss got killed. It reminded me of some bitter sweet memories of the past. Though knowing the reason why she was making that face, I could only look at her with a troubled expression.

"You know me boss. I don't like to get involved," I answered her with a deep sigh. I was expecting this already.

"Rebas is dead," a sudden flare boiled up inside her eyes, to which I looked at Avida and spoke," you explain. I will look around for the others," before I observed the map again and began searching for Invar and Levi's name. Given that I have confirmed that they are around here, I shouldn't have any problem locating them on the map here as well.

Previously I did not know if they would even appear here, so I didn't bother checking the map as doing it manually would be much better. But now that I know that they are here, and nearby, I can exploit the [Map!] to find out where they could be.

While I searched for the rest of them, Avida explained what I told her to Boss. Boss was shocked at first to hear that, but when she heard that I was the one who told her, she believed it immediately. A smile blossomed on her face as she kept asking the same questions multiple times, smiling even more each time Avida answered.

Then the conversation went on how I met her and a couple of things that I talked about with Avida.

"All right. I found the others. They are close so let's go," I interrupted them, to which they nodded before we three started walking in the direction where the closest person was.
