Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Irene had appeared out of nowhere, reprimanding me that I hadn’t upgraded her for quite a while, and she wasn’t wrong, I haven’t done it for the rest of the equipment I created IRL, the enchanted clothes and the shield either, the bracelets and so on. I had made them initially because I couldn’t transfer equipment from Arcadia here, but now that I have grown enough to be able to transfer A Rank items from Arcadia to Earth, they became slightly redundant.

Of course, I still wear them, and their shapes can be changed, so I usually wear them whenever I go out to fight, but that hasn’t happened in a while either or might not for some time as Arcadia will have my full attention for the time being.

Merlinus might have been vanquished, but the Demon King of Death is still there, and the battle against him is slowly creeping in and approaching, so I can’t really focus too much on Earth for now.

However, although the rest of my clothes aren’t as important, as I had mostly made all this armor and other equipment pieces out of desperation to prepare for foes we couldn’t fight on our own before, the Shield and Irene remain as special, powerful equipment.

Also the same goes for my family and friends, their weapons are still useful all the time, and I can’t always be there to bring them their equipment either, so they have to usually rely on what they got IRL… I should probably update their own equipment first actually!

Anyway, Irene deserved a reforge yeah, I use her a lot alongside the Gaia All-Purpose-Tool shaped into a shovel or a sword, Irene can also become a shovel, and with enough Spirit Synthesis, temporarily a giant sword.

She also has her own unique abilities and powers… Last upgrade was when I added Dragon Materials to all my equipment, it elevated them all to B Rank.

I think that’s still decent even now, but maybe it is about time to be boosted to A Rank at least…

For example, here’s Irene and her info, which is very short.

[Spiritual Farm Shovel Dragon Staff: Irene (B Rank Magic Weapon)]

Potential Abilities: [STR & INT +25% (C)] [Great Spiritual Explosion (C)] [Great Elemental Resonance (C)] [MP & INT +25% (C)] [Intelligent Weapon (B)] [Dragon Spirit Summon (B)]

It is mostly the information I can “read” by looking at her. These are her abilities and bonuses I get from wielding her.

Because I created magic items by infusing Potential Cubes into normal objects, every created magic item has Potential Abilities.

These tend to vary, evolve, and also appear differently than in Arcadia, perhaps because here the items aren’t restricted by the game-like system. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

In a way, equipment created and enhanced in Earth will always be much different than the one made in Arcadia…

Nonetheless, let’s go back to the main topic.

“I know Irene, I’ll reforge you as well,” I nodded. “Though if your rarity increases too much I won’t be able to drag you back here, so you’ll have to stay at A Rank for now, until I can transfer S Rank materials, okay?”

“Hmmm… fine,” Irene sighed grumpily, as she placed herself on the ground. “Anyway, if you need any help with the farm just call me, I’ll rest for the moment.”

“Y-Yes ma’am, rest well…” I muttered.

To think Irene is the personification of the shovel I used to use back in my house in the countryside, the old shovel inside my house that not only I but everyone uses for all sorts of things.

After giving her “life” through a Potential Cube, she gained the ability to speak and everything, the same way our other weapons did, such as Mark’s knife, Rita’s fun, and Lily’s pickaxe.

And well, she got quite the personality, this young lady… or well, old lady I guess? I’m fairly sure she was made before I was born.

“Anyway, as I said before, your Domain, Goddess Elayne, is very powerful not only because of you but also to these three Realms it is connected to,” explained Jannis, continuing with our original conversation. “This is why other spiritual beings, or even magical beings in general, would feel attracted to your Domain. The Urban Spirit is only the beginning. I am fairly sure you were once visited by a Dream Plane inhabitant already, right?”

“S-She’s he was a frog with a… a frog with a hat,” I muttered.” I don’t even remember his name anymore though… It was frog something. Frogginton? Yeah.”

“He gifted you a few useful materials,” Mark nodded. “Oh right, didn’t he warn you about something though?”

“He said that there was a group of Warlocks that had been recently trying to find a path towards the Dream/Nightmare Plane for some reason,” I said. “And that I should be careful because they… might try to use mine, but nothing has happened so far regarding them… Unless those Hollow-controlling sorcerers that attacked our Domain were them?”

“Those?” Jannis asked. “They might’ve been, they were all Warlocks holding demonic magic and curse magic. Their ability to control Hollows is because they learned to absorb their evil powers for their own… Perhaps this man, Frogginton… Was he a Dream Spirit?”

“I think so,” I nodded.

“He might have warned you correctly,” said Jannis. “Thankfully the perimeter is now being protected by the agency you’ve allied with, Goddess Elayne, so there shouldn’t be much to worry about. But even then, let’s be careful.”

“Alright…” I nodded. “Anyway, Julio, what are your other friends? I’m pretty interested…!”

As I asked, I continued eating my food, I had already finished the delicious Jurassic Burger, and it was to die for! The flavors combined so well; I’ll happily do this again next time.

The meat was also deliciously flavored and juicy, the marination was just perfect, and everything was really good.

“Well there’s Wendigo, he’s a Fragment of the original Urban Legend, like most Wendigo you will ever meet,” he said. “And… Um, well… he’s not exactly quite as intimidating as the real deal.”

“What do you mean?” I wondered.

“Well… you could say he’s more human-like than Wendigo-like,” he said nervously.

“Huh?!”

I guess I’m up for a lot of surprises today and the next few days.

Ah, I wonder how everyone else is doing back in Arcadia though…
