Chapter 3: The Bitter Taste of Tears and Crow

<You are eligible to be revived for one hour, would you like to respawn now?>

<There is no experience point penalty during the official event.>

Leah opened her eyes and found herself sitting upon a throne inside the dimly lit cavern. The cavern itself was silent without a single living thing around her.

The lair was empty because Leah, their ruler, had died.

She hadn’t anticipated that she would die. This was the first time since the game had launched that she had died. It was a learning opportunity. While she hadn’t been able to accomplish what she had set out to do, the experience allowed her to test and answer some lingering questions about the game.

Leah sat silently in the gloom. Evidently when Leah died, all of her retainers died as well. She knew that they would respawn in an hour, but that also meant she would be alone in the lair for another hour. Since Leah’s death had killed Sugaru, there wasn’t a single ant in the massive cave, but they would return in an hour.

No, that wasn’t quite right. The only one that would respawn in an hour was Sugaru, not the ants themselves. If the respawn timer for the ants only started to count down when Sugaru respawned, it would take two hours for the ants to respawn. That would be a pretty long silence. The same was true about the undead under Sieg’s command.

Leah let out a quiet breath through her nose. She also needed to check on what sort of progress Kelli and the others had made. Since the plan was to avoid revealing the four mountain cats to the world in this event, she had sent them to explore the lands around the volcanic zone. It would be useful to see where the four of them would respawn. Clearly, it wouldn’t be the lair.

“...No, everything seems to have worked out for the best. Yeah. I know I got a little too cocky. I’m glad it happened during the event. After all, there’s no EXP penalty right now. There’s no telling what would have happened to me or to Mister Worldtree if I’d lost ten percent of my EXP at this stage. I got lucky. Yup, I definitely got lucky,” Leah heard the tremor in her voice as she tried to convince herself of this fact, “I should start keeping a ten percent EXP cushion in case something like this happens again. Glad I learned that now. Risk hedging is the first rule of investing, after all. I mean, it’s not like I’m an investor by trade. It’s understandable, things like this happen... I just need to make s-sure...”

Leah felt the words catch in her throat. A sob welled up from the back of her throat, “Sniff...! Sob...”

The dam broke, and all of her emotions came flooding out. The sheer frustration. Leah felt her stomach twist into knots as it built, and tears continued to flow down her cheeks, sobs cutting off any attempts to form words.
