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.

[tyrantball]

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!

text

[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.

[tyrantball]

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!

[... He can't lie, the idea of making his father live out however long the afterlife is in the body of an adorable penguin sounds kind of amusing.]

I can't wield weapons. I can only use a staff. Heavy Axemen are the class that use axes.

[tyrantball]

Really? Where Desco comes from, it doesn't work like that.

The rules are probably different here, anyway.

[virtualbirdwatching]

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]

text

[aurathread]

Probably, but I don't know that I have the physical strength to use an axe anyway.

[aurathread]

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

text

[tyrantball]

But that's not even an issue! If you Magichange with Desco, you receive a portion of her incredible strength!

Desco is the strongest and most legendary Final Boss, so even a portion of her strength is amazing!

Is that how it works? Huh.

[It actually sounds... kind of fun.]

[tyrantball]

The video feed suddenly snaps on, revealing that you've apparently been texting with...a little demon girl?

...huh.

"Grinding is always more fun with allies! Desco achieved max level with a special five unit combination attack!"

[... wat. He's just going to hide behind text still.]

I usually solo things. Most people just can't be trusted.

When she smiles, light glints off her serrated, shark-like teeth.

"That's okay! Desco isn't a person!"

[aurathread]

I didn't mean just human people.

[tyrantball]

And now she's confused and slightly sad.

"Does that mean you don't want to make use of Desco? But she hasn't been an axe for so long!"

Pouting at you. POUTING.

[aurathread]

[Buh... but... uh.]

... I mean I guess we could try it. Just don't expect us to be best buddies or something. I've met people like that before.

[tyrantball]

"Yaaay!"

Her pout clears up instantly as she cheers, completely ignoring your 'best buddies' comment.

"Desco's gonna transform! Oh, thank you so much!"

[nyxterious]

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

[islandshore]

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

[aurathread]

Where should we meet? And when?

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