No matter how many monsters I beat, I can't level up. I know this isn't The World, but since I'm in my body from there I should be able to level up, right?

It's not working and it's really annoying.

There aren't any quests or events to do either. It's annoying.

Wait, you can't level?! That's terrible! Does that mean Desco hasn't been getting any XP or Mana from all her grinding either?

Desco doesn't mind missing out on XP since she is already max level, but she really likes getting Mana!

I don't know. I haven't been getting levels anyway. And they don't really drop any good SP healing items which is a pain.

Desco has mostly been beating up Prinnies, because they deserve it, but maybe sometime she could help you grind? Desco's SP pool is really high!

[aurathread]

What are Prinnies? But... I guess? My spells are pretty high level so they take a lot of SP each time I use them.

Prinnies are sinful human souls stuffed inside a penguin doll! It's really fun to beat them up!

And Desco can just Magichange with you, and you won't have to use your spells!

...this isn't a service Desco normally provides, but she's in a good mood right now.

That... doesn't sound very nice...

... What's Magichange?

text

[tyrantball]

Well, all they had to do to avoid it was not be terrible people, so Desco doesn't really have any sympathy for them.

Magichange is Desco's special ability to turn into a weapon! Desco used to be a sword, but she trained really hard and she is now an axe!

I don't think it really works like that... I haven't been getting levels or skill levels either.

Honestly I don't think a monster that isn't already from The World would have an experience value.

[It's kind of making her feel bad, since Haseo is about a hundred levels ahead of her and she can't catch up. Also ahahahaha if only she knew]

[aurathread]

That's dumb. What's the point of fighting monsters then? Aside from their drops, I guess.

[virtualbirdwatching]

I've noticed that my Persona gains new skills if I use it in a battle, but that's all. It doesn't matter which one, either, although I do get a strange feeling when I'm using Yune.

[It's a compatibility issue.]

[aurathread]

I still haven't gotten mine.

sorry for late

[virtualbirdwatching]

Have you tried not using your spells?

No problem.

[aurathread]

It's kind of hard not to. I don't want to get eaten or... whatever they do.

"Your body from there"... ? What does that mean?

The World is a video game. This is my avatar from it, not my real body.

[islandshore]

Leveling... Wait, are you saying you're from a video game or something?

[aurathread]

The avatar I'm stuck in right now is, yes.

[islandshore]

Wow. So we're talking about virtual reality? Your world must be pretty advanced.

[aurathread]

Sort of. Most people don't have their minds in their characters, they control them with the keyboard and use the FMD to look around.

FMD is Face Mounted Display, by the way.

Anyway, I'm the only one I know like this.

[islandshore]

Huh. So what makes you so different from other players? Putting your mind inside of a game... That sounds like something straight out of a movie.

[aurathread]

It wasn't on purpose. Something happened and I got stuck. I can't log out.

[faustianphantom]

Level up? [Please explain video game terms to the English noble.]

[aurathread]

Get stronger. Not with new spells since The World has equipment-based spells, but with hit points and magic and stuff like that.

[faustianphantom]

I have never heard of such. [Though he has heard of magic, of course.] Is there a way to upgrade our Persona?

[aurathread]

I don't know. I haven't seen mine yet.
