“Max? We won, so why is your fa the wrong shape?” Rone was utterly fused by his rea, “Wait, don’t tell me we broke the w by killing people and we’re actually fugitives now?!”
“Worse.”
“Huhh? What’s worse than being fugitives?” Rone walked up to Max and looked at the notification in front of him, “...Dude.”
“Don’t patronise me!” Max whined pre-emptively, “This is all your fault.”
“My fault? It’s your hat they wanted; should I have just let them stab me and died?”
“Yes.”
Roched as Max removed his hat self-sciously and pced it ba his iory.
“You know there’s a 24-hour death ban, right?”
“Huh? A death ban?”
There was no such thing in Hero of Liberation. Aside from a brief, overly dramatic ‘YOU DIED’ message, ah in that game would result in an instant respawn.
“Y-you mean those pyers are locked out of the game for aire day?”
“Yup. In fact, they’re probably seething right now.”
Max flinched slightly. Hopefully they weren’t the type to hold grudges...
“Anyways, it’s excessive to have the death penalty that long.” Rone tinued, “They’ll probably ge it in the update. More importantly...”
Rone suddenly yanked Max’s bow out of his arms and analysed it while flipping it around. “What the hell is that damage? You killed those guys in a single shot.”
“I’m not sure actually, but bows seem really good in this game.” Max shrugged and opened his stat panel. Rone should be able to see it too, sihey were in a party and Max had figured his settings that way.

“It’s in the ives!” Max cried out in despair. “Why is my charm IVE?! That shouldn’t even be possible! Does this mean I’ll repel people now?!”
Rone didn’t respond, because his eyes were focused on another part of the status s. ‘WTF??? How does he have four subcsses already?? And why is his css called Deadshot??’
“This is BS! I am charming! Look at me; charm oozes out of my pores! This is a bug of some kind!”
“You’re not funny. Also what is all this stuff? How did you get subcsses?”
“Eh? Subcsses?” Max looked back over the panel properly. “Uh, dunno!”
“What do you mean ‘dunno’?” Rone responded angrily. “Subcsses don’t just fall out of the sky. And why haven’t you even equipped your titles? Do it now!”
“Sheesh, fine. Nagging much” Max treated Rone like an overbearing parent as he opened his titles s.

*cough*, *cough*. Max choked on air as he stared at the uedly long list of titles.
Rone’s eyes looked as though they would explode out of his head as he read through the list. He himself only had three of these.
‘How the f*ck did he hit 100 shots in the eyes?’
“This-I heard the pings while I was fighting, but I didn’t know there would be this much.” Max tried to expin himself. “I didn’t think they would give these out so easily, titles were pretty rare in Hero of Li- Whu? A hundred charm?!”
Max quickly equipped all of his titles, worried they might disappear if he took too long.
‘I have 98 Charm!!!’ Max screamed and rejoiced in his head. He didn’t dare celebrate out loud, because Rone was wearing an ugly face like he’d just eaten a of spoiled tuna.
Rone appeared to think for a short while, before he finally spoke, “Bring up your css description.”
Max swallowed dryly and plied. A holographidoeared in front of them.
Css: Deadshrade: Unique
Effects: When using a bow, all final base damage is increased by 100%. Additionally, all final oint ahal damage is increased by a further 50%.
Description: ‘Masterful’ is not suffit to describe the owner of this css. To the pyer incapable of missing: Your as will be watched closely by the powers of this world. Good luck.
Now it was Max’s turn for his eyeballs to explode.
‘WHAAAATTTTTTT????!!!! Holy sh*t! I’m OP!!’
“Max.” Rone spoke calmly with a serenity that made Max’s bones chill.
“Ah, I didn’t know! I thought it was just the hey had for the archer css! All I did was shoot the targets and I got the css!”
“All of the targets?”
“Well yeah.”
“...”
After a moment of silence, Max suddenly had a strong premonition of violend dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding Rone’s pounce.
“I-I’m sorry!”
“I DON’T CARE; DIE!!!!”
...
...
After a protracted chase, of which Max triumphed due to his 2-agility advahe grown meually regained civility and resumed their discourse.
“Just how much damage do you do, anyways?” Rone was curious
“I have no idea. It should be quite high though.”
“Well what about a bodyshot? How much damage do you do when you hit the legs or torso?”
“I haven’t tried that yet.”
“What do you mean you haven’t tried it yet. Then, have you only hit headshots so far?”
“...” Max stayed quiet in order to not aggravate this irritable man.
“...How about a test. First, turn on your damage indicators.”
“How do I do that?”
“There’s an option iings for it under ‘video’. Turn tags and accode notifications on as well if you haven’t already.”
Max flicked the holographic switches on his interfad turned around to look at Rone again, “Oh!”
[ Pyer: ‘Cye_Rone’, Level: 1 ]
“That’s cool, I see your details now.” The information floated above Rone’s head in a blue box with low opacity.
“Alright, now let’s test your output. Shoot me in the leg, and we’ll see how much damage it does.”
“...That feels like a really terrible idea, actually.” Max refused it ht.
“Don’t worry, it won’t be enough to kill me instantly. Let me expin.”
Rone cleared his throat, “I fot to tell you this yesterday, but there are three categories of damage in the game: normal or base damage, oint damage ahal damage. Hitting an enemy somewhere non-vital, like in the leg or an arm, or just somewhere else that causes a flesh wound, will do normal damage, whereas hitting them somewhere more serious like a non-vital an will do oint damage. Finally, nding a hit on a vital an like the head or the heart will do lethal damage, which is the most harmful type.”
“The damage indicative you a numerical value of the damage you inflid are colour-coded to indicate the damage type. White is normal damage, yellow is oint damage, e is lethal damage and bck is mixed in if it causes death.”
“That actually sounds really handy. Does the damage increase by a set amount for oint ahal damage or does it vary?”
“There’s a ft 50% damage increase for oint damage, 100% for lethal damage. So the damage calcution works out your base damage and then applies a multiplier to that to get your final damage.”
“Alright. Is there damage redu for party members and allies?”
“Nope. Not that I know of.”
“...Then I probably shouldn’t shoot yht?”
“Dude, your css is good but I’m not going to die from a shot in the foot. You’re not THAT overpowered.”
“All right, all right, fine.” Max took aim at the i foot. “Do you have a health potion?”
“Just shoot it!”
Pew!
[ 920 ] A dark red number sprung out as the arrow he side of Rone’s ankle.
‘Red? That wasn’t any of the colours he mentiohough?’ Max was fused.
“Sh*t.” Rone swore.
“What do you mean sh*-UH?”
Rone exploded into blue particles.
“...”
“...”
“...”
After some time passed, Max received a call request through the system. He pressed accept.
“So, I may have fotten a damage type.”
