Episode Title:
A Peculiar One
Episode Description:
Rei, already a powerful warrior in Shangri-La, visits Firstia hoping to encounter Rakuro when he starts the game. She is disappointed when he does not appear and assumes Rakuro already visited Firstia and left before she arrived. Despite his expertise of boss fights Rakuro almost dies, not having known the snake boss usually requires at least three players. His victory promotes him to level 14 but his health continues to drop from the snake venom. He is forced to run all the way to Secondil where veteran player Reiji helps him register a respawn point before he dies so he won’t have to start the game over. After respawning Rakuro realises his swimming shorts make him stand out, and not in a good way, forcing him to buy normal armour, though he keeps the bird mask. Requiring new weapons the blacksmith sends him to Diremarsh swamp to mine ore, which is more difficult then Rakuro first assumed as the realistic swamp mud slows his movement. Now equipped with Marsh Daggers Rakuro ignores the Blacksmiths warnings and goes hunting monsters at night. Rei decides to search for Rakuro in Secondil, despite the unlikelihood of a new player making it that far alone. Rakuro encounters Lycagon Nightslayer, a completely unique monster which is so high level not one of the games 30million players have ever defeated it.
