As the skeleton warriors roamed the area searching for players to attack, the three girls climbed a nearby tree to avoid the monsters' range of sight. So far, it was working. They managed to recover half of their health and mana.

"Thank goodness for these trees!" Amelie rested on the large tree's gigantic branch that held all three of them. "I love you, tree!" She hugged the tree branch like it was her best friend.

Christina Amelie Chrosse was the party's level 24 mage. She could deal massive damage, but sadly dies in just three hits. Her short red hair and tendencies to act like a princely character made other players deeply confused about her gender.

"Guys, I'm running out of potions," Luna said as she looked through her inventory.

Ayunluna, who is called Luna for short, was the party's level 29 knight. She invested more of her status points into vitality, creating an effective tank build. However, this left her with a lower attack, so it takes a ridiculous amount of time for her to finish killing monsters.

"You're not the only one," Lyria said with a sigh.

Lyria Wolff was the party's level 40 priestess. She had a full support build, giving her powerful heals and buffs. However, she also dies after a few hits like Amelie.

"We should call Astrid again and ask her to go buy us more potions," Lyria suggested.

Luna pulled out her menu tablet, a device given to players so they can communicate with other players and access information such as the help manual and the rankings. It was an item that always stuck to the player, so it didn't matter if you dropped it into an endless pit of flames. It always materialized on your hand when you summoned it.

After calling Astrid twice, Luna shook her head. "She's not picking up."

"I don't think she can," Amelie said as she pointed at a player running in the distance. "She just attracted a mob and some mini bosses. We should have warned her about the monsters' range of sight here."

"Oh my gosh. Is that Astrid? We should help her!" Luna was ready to jump in.

Lyria was calm about it. "Don't worry about her. She has the Invisibility skill."

"Doesn't it only work on normal monsters and not bosses?" Amelie asked.

"Oh. I didn't know that. We'd better go help her then."

The three girls jumped down from the tree and ran to where Astrid was. Luna went first to deviate the attention of the nearby skeleton warriors from the fragile party members.

"Follow carefully behind me so we won't attract extra skeleton warriors," Lyria commanded. "Stand near me, Amelie, so I can heal you."

"Call me Chris when we're in this world!" Amelie urged.

Astrid used her Invisibility skill, losing the skeleton warriors as she ran. Now, only the mini bosses were chasing her. She led them to a corner where there were no other monsters.

"Astrid!" Luna shouted as she charged forward.

"There you are! I was looking all over for you," said Astrid, looking extremely relieved.

Astrid was the party's level 32 assassin. She had the most balanced build, investing just enough for strength, vitality, and agility, because she liked going solo to collect expensive items to sell. She had the tendency to spend more time gaining wealth than doing quests.

Astrid stopped running and prepared to attack the mini bosses as they rushed towards her.

"Lyria, I'm going in to tank the boss. Please resurrect me if I die," Luna said with conviction.

Lyria looked uneasy. "I can't cast resurrect anymore. I ran out of magic stones!"

"What!?" Luna's conviction immediately disappeared with the wind.

"Amelie kept getting targeted earlier with physical attacks, so she got killed several times." Lyria sobbed. "These magic stones cost 900 gold each! At this rate, I'll have to keep farming for stuff to sell just to buy more."

"I said call me Chris!" Amelie sobbed.

"We'll help you raise gold. In the meantime, please keep us alive!" said Astrid as she readied her katar.

Lyria nodded. "Got it! Go get 'em!"
