A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

Chapter 23 - Luck

"Just how? How did you do the same thing again with a different weapon? The system cannot comprehend this phenomenon at all."

  "Hey, what is happening in there? Why is your A.I. sounds so surprised again?" Hearing the A.I.'s astonished voice again, Ezekiel can't help but meddle with their conversation. Not being able to see what's happening at the other end is frustrating him. 

"It's nothing... I just executed the same action I did earlier with a different weapon and the same aftermath. It's just a strong gust of wind Lumiere is overreacting." 

"I don't think your A.I.'s reactions are normal at all." Ezekiel thinks that Alex doesn't know that her A.I. is acting very strange. 

Comparing both of their A.I., his A.I. doesn't act the same way as Alex's A.I. at all. The way her A.I. reacts to anything she does is nowhere near as close as what his A.I. can do. He tried interacting with his A.I. the same way Alex interact with hers. But he never came across the same reactions and outcome with Alex's A.I. 

"I am not overreacting..." Based on the gathered data of the system, Lumiere did not see any other human who can release the same force as hers with their restricted body.  "You have said earlier that you are only able to accomplish that slash is because you have used a katana for three years. Then how can you recreate the same outcome with a different weapon?" 

"My father always says that it's not about the weapon. It's how you can use your body to the fullest. No matter what weapon I use, as long as I know how to use it. I can do the same thing again if I want to." That is why she is having a hard time picking a weapon since she can master anything as long as she learns how to use it. 

"Monsters," Ezekiel murmured. 

"What did you say?" 

"Nothing, it's nothing, hurry up and pick your weapon already, or I'll leave you here!" 

"Wait!! Lumiere is not done with its explanation. Please continue with weapons stats Lumiere, don't mind me trying out different weapons and attacking once with it." She is going to try out different weapons while Lumiere is explaining so that she can save time picking one if Lumiere finished explaining. 

"Yes..." 

"Weapon stats is a bit complicated, so I will start first with character stats. There are a total of six primary stats, Strength, Agility, Stamina, Wisdom, Intellect, and Luck. These six stats can be increased in a lot of ways in the game. But there are two easy ways to increase these stats. And that is character level up and weapon level up." 

While Lumiere kept on explaining, Alex already tried out two different weapons in just a short amount of time. She tried a bow and a hammer, and just like the two weapons she used earlier. These new ones also produced the weird phenomenon of creating an instant dust-sized space distortion. But this time, her execution of the attacks is way faster than the turtle-paced she did earlier. It was as if Alex understood her current body more than earlier. 

This time Lumiere decided not to make a fuss and chose to observe Alex for now. "The difference between character level up and weapon level up is the former can increase your stats manually by five points. These five points can be distributed in any of the six stats except the luck stat, with each time your character level up. While the latter increases the five stats automatically depending on the weapon stats." 

In that short amount of time, that Lumiere explained. Alex already tried another five weapons at a very fast rate. Furthermore, all five weapons created space distortions. 

"Can you explain to me each stat?" Alex asked while holding a wooden stick in her hand. 

"Yes, but I can only give you a brief description because there are hidden effects on each stat that you will learn in the game."

"Sure, I'm fine with it," Alex answered while she changed the wooden stick with a greatsword.

Then a floating panel suddenly appeared in front of her that shows her current character status.

"Hey, what the heck is this negative luck!" Alex can't believe that she has negative luck.

Hearing that Alex has negative luck, Ezekiel burst out laughing. "That just shows how unlucky you really are." 

"Shut up! I am sure that you also received a very low luck stat." Alex has seen Ezekiel's luck every time they played computer games. They almost have the same luck every time they played. It is not that lucky, but at the same time, it's not that unlucky.

"Did you know after I have seen my luck stats earlier, made me wonder. Is these luck stats even real but after hearing your luck stats made me realize that all this time, I am not unlucky at all. It's just that I am always accompanied by someone with terrible luck." 

"What are you talking about? Then tell me, what is your luck stats?" 

"Wait, let me send you a picture in discode for proof." Ezekiel then took a picture of his whole character status.

"Lumiere, please open it up for me." 

[Yes]
