Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

After hatching the egg of Mimy, I showed her to the rest while she was napping, the Mushroom Brigade had very varied opinions over a Mimic monster pet, but they all respected my decision at the end, saying that it was all up to me what I did with my life. Okay, I get it, they don’t like Mimics… the monsters got a bad reputation for tricking novices and killing them, I can tell they’re highly hated.

Now that I was done with the pet issue, it was time to adventure outside! I would like to continue cooking, but I kind of want to explore the forest this night. The sky has a big clear moon, so there’s a lot of moonlight everywhere, and with the help of a tiny Sunlight Spirit I summoned just now, I can illuminate our surroundings super easily. I had also considered spending Skill Points, but for now I’ll save them, same with Stat Points. Thanks to my special Title that allows all other title effects to be active, I got good enough stats to walk more than leisurely in a low-level area as the forest.

This is now my domain! But I’ve barely mapped like a third of it, I want to map the entire forest. I also heard there might be other tribes of people in trouble, I’ve been delaying this way too much, even if they’re NPC, if I can help them I kind of want to do it. Its night so Acorn is most likely sleeping, I don’t want to wake him up, so I’ll go with a few of the Mushroom Brigade members and my tamed pets and summons. I might level up the summoning skill in the next few days to get a new summon. I already got a new little pet monster, if I get more it will get a bit convoluted, I need to catch a break first to be honest.

I decided to bring Magius, Sporegon, and Hunter. The latter is a bow-wielding Mushroom that wears a red bandana, he got a lot of survivalist Skills so he’s pretty useful at scouting areas, he’ll be of great help and will complement the team. Sporegon is an armor wearing knight that got a big sword, he’s going to be a good tank and frontliner, meanwhile, Magius knows several elemental spells, the three basic elements, fire, water, and wind, so she’ll be a great asset for long-ranged attacks. Making our team bigger would be a hassle, so only three for now is good.

“Alright you guys stay in the home and protect the farm from any wild monsters if they appear. But make sure to rest too.” I said, as the Mushroom Brigade nodded and wished us a good journey. I wasn’t planning to play the entire night or something, but I was surely going to have some fun and explore new areas. To be honest, Acorn would be ideal because he knows the forest very well, but Hunter has been scouting a large part of it by himself, so he might be a good guider.

“I am honored that you’ve chosen me as your companion, my lady. I shall serve you with everything I have.” Said Hunter, the small walking mushroom was around half my size but he was incredibly serious and silent.

“Thank you Hunter, you’re someone very competent after all!” I said, petting his big mushroom cap. Magius and Sporegon looked at me with surprise, as if they were also wanted this…

“What? You want to be petted as well?” I sighed, as I petted both of them. They were very dependable, but often acted like children as well.

After we walked back inside the woods, Magius started to wonder what we were seeking right now, walking aimlessly wasn’t the best thing to do, as it would be just a waste of time.

“My lady where are we going by the way?” She wondered with her adorable voice.

“I plan to go to the village of fairies, which shouldn’t be so far away from here… Oh! There, look, do you see these pink flowers? I remember that Acorn’s grandfather told me that these flowers lead through a road of colorful flowers into a secret passage where the fairies live. Let’s follow these.” I said, marching forward while looking for what was to come.

“The village of fairies!” Said Magius while seemingly pumped up. “Hunter, did you find it while you were scouting?”

“No, I wasn’t aware that it was located all the way here. It also requires following a patch of flowers…” Said Hunter rather surprised.

“Fairies are very secretive demi-humans; I remember that our lord once visited a village in a forest similar to this one.” Said Sporegon.

“Oh? You guys have met fairies? How cute are they? Are they tiny and adorable? How colorful?! Tell me more!” I said happily. ．

“W-Well, the fairies we meet were special, they served the Fairy Queen Titania.” Said Magius. “She was a very beautiful woman, almost of the same size as a human unlike her children.”

“Yeah, our lord wanted to meet her to make a pact of peace with the fairies, who had been hunted down by humans back then. But I’ve barely seen humans around this place…” Said Sporegon. “Titania was someone unforgiving, and hated humans for what they had done, but our lord wanted her help in defeating the Demon King, fairies had amazing magic, and could create incredible items through their magic alchemy and enchantments.”

“At the end, Titania saw through his honest and heroic heart, and gave him a trial.” Said Hunter. “The trial was to defeat three powerful Miasmic Beasts that were inhabiting this area.”

“The Giant Miasmic Mushroom King, the Miasmic Shadow Crow King, and the Ravenous Giant Miasmic Serpent Queen… These three powerful King-class monsters had the power to lead and control smaller monsters and were spreading Miasma through the land…” Said Magius.

“Our lord, of course, defeated them all and saved the forest… This one looks a lot like that one.” Said Sporegon. “But there’s no way that this forest has lasted for so long, right? Also the other one was tens of times bigger…”

“H-Huh…”

Come to think of it, didn’t I defeated the Mushroom King and the Shadow Crow King?

This is… quite odd.

CRAAASH!

And right when I was thinking about how weird coincidences could get, I heard the sound of trees clashing and countless creatures fighting at the distance!
