Since the birth of the RPG genre in the gaming world, content such as customization or costumes has always remained popular.
Even “look-con” (the obsession with character appearance) has never fallen out of favor as a trend.
Moreover, Invul is a full-dive VR MMORPG where the player becomes the character itself.
In this game, the character is practically the player themselves.
I’ve been wearing a costume acquired by chance as a long-term investment, but in Invul, many players use various methods to customize themselves.
It does not matter much how the character’s appearance turns out.
Thus, the focus should not be on the ‘magic girl’ or the act of ‘terrorism.’
What matters is that this behavior is taking place in a village, which is supposed to be a safe zone protected by the system.
“Hahaha! Die! Somersault Kick!”
“That, that crazy woman!”
“Take this, Spinning Heel Kick!”
A wand glows as fire magic rains down. When the girl shouts kick names that have no relation to her skill activation, users shriek in terror or shout curses.
The blossoming flames leave another pile of ash.
‘This kid is really enjoying the game.’
A fighter charging head-on is swept away by flames.
A wizard who lost the firepower contest has turned to dust, and an archer hiding in ambush has been killed by a tracker’s dagger.
In short, that crazy woman is not alone.
One tracker is patrolling the back alleys.
Beneath the magic girl’s feet hides a warrior.
Though she appears to be just a crazy woman, her actions are rather cunning. She seems to have some basic PvP knowledge judging by the way her eyes keep scanning the surroundings.
She maintains distance to ensure she can receive help from her team at any time— this is a sign of good awareness.
‘Well, hasn’t it been more than 5 minutes already? Really no response?’
The chaos that started shows no signs of stopping.
A thief trying to counter the terrorist.
A warrior striking the back of that thief and securing gold.
A ranger starting to raid NPCs.
Among them, the ranger is worth noting.
Not long after he began raiding, a Wyvern Knight NPC arrived, shouting loudly and halting the chaos across the village.
“This land is under the management of Lord Lahikal! How dare you cause such a commotion!”
Of course, they aren’t just standing by watching the village turn into chaos.
Wyvern Knights are far superior to the regular security guards of the continent when it comes to maintaining order.
The knight, receiving everyone’s attention, valiantly killed the raider.
Naturally, the next move would be obvious.
The magic girl quickly assessed the situation.
Her urgent voice carried precise and intuitive orders.
“Shit! We’re screwed! Let’s run!”
First to appear was the smoke-inducing magic.
The hidden warrior also revealed his massive body.
Perhaps his role was to stall for time from the beginning, as the warrior, looking valiant, became the magic girl’s shield.
Now, the Wyvern Knight’s spear would surely be aimed at the warrior.
Everyone believed it, but the moment the wyvern’s wings flapped violently and the knight returned to the castle as if nothing had happened, the crowd was baffled.
Leaving the burning village and the terrorist magic girl behind.
“…?”
Everyone in this city looked up at the sky with dumbfounded expressions.
The sky was bright blue, and the returning knight never once looked back.
Soon, all reached the same conclusion.
After a major patch,
It’s not surprising for critical bugs to emerge.
“Plunder! Kill the women, ravage the men!”
“A male furry spotted!”
“Kill him!”
“No, keep him alive! I’ll drop by soon!”
“?”
I also gripped my dagger.
There are not a few professional gamers who dislike chaotic battles.
Their stage is usually set with an evenly decided number of participants, so the flow into a chaotic battle means that all the carefully built structures till now are meaningless.
Especially strategists tend to abhor battles full of variables.
On the other hand, PVP users like me, centered on the field, prefer chaotic battles.
It’s fighting that doesn’t rely excessively on tactics or structure but leans solely on physical strength and an animalistic sixth sense!
It’s the straightforward fight where you indiscriminately kill all visible enemies— that’s what field chaos is.
An arrow flies past my head.
Fragments of ice crystals fail to pierce my coat and fall to the ground with a thud.
If you receive a gift, it’s only right to return it.
I struck the Ice Sorceress’s abdomen with a generous throwing dagger.
I intended to rush forward and finish her, but then I encountered an assassin.
Prey that takes little time to consume.
Though I’m busy, a little snack wouldn’t hurt, right?
“Could it be… Gamol?”
No time for questions; I thrust my dagger. My opponent fights back bravely.
I dodge aside and pin their arm under my armpit.
If I hook their leg and press their head down now— their back of the head will hit the ground.
I jabbed at the opponent’s temple several times before they could resist.
Puck. Puck. While a chilling sound echoed, the assassin gave me a thumbs-up.
“You’re really good…”
“Huh?”
Was he a fan, maybe?
That’s disappointing. If he had told me beforehand, I wouldn’t have killed him.
But since I already killed him, I twisted the blade to finish him off.
Let’s think positively.
Let’s call it my style of fan-meeting. Not bad, right?

[You have gained 1,497,424 Gold by taking the defeated opponent’s money.]
Anyway, anyone you take aim at must be finished.
As soon as the second fan died, I used shadows to move toward the thrown dagger I had previously planted.
Thinking I had given up on pursuit, the unguarded Ice Sorceress came into my grasp.
I slash the Achilles tendon of her ankle, then both knees.
Finishing by cutting the tendons of the gluteal muscles, I incapacitate her.
Stabbing her neck is to prevent spell incantations.
“Ughk, kek…”
“It’s all your fault I lost her. Damn it. Where though?”
My original target was the magic girl from before.
But being distracted elsewhere cut off my pursuit.
While scratching the throat of the Ice Sorceress with my dagger, I scanned the surroundings.
A few arrows fly toward me. Twisting the blade inside to sever the neck, I use the corpse as a shield.
I throw a rope dagger at the arrogant archer who dared to shoot me.
My throwing skills rival even top-tier assassins like Reapers.
The blade traced a straight line, drawing blood, and the archer hurried to remove the dagger.
That won’t do.
[Ability Active: Snake Fangs]
[For 10 seconds, the thrown weapon cannot be removed from the enemy’s body.]
As I immediately pulled the rope to close in, the archer who had given up on escape launched a few arrows, but if I can’t block them, I have no right to be an assassin.
The heaviness of the wrist movement allowed me to easily predict the outcome.
The archer instinctively tries to cover their neck.
If both hands are up, how will they guard the mid and lower sections?
I rip apart the side of their ribs and block their descending arm.
I shove them against the wall and deliver a knee to the abdomen.
The shock probably disrupted their upper guard, so I gave them a knee to the face as well.
It connects properly.
The blood triangle around the face collapses, and crimson blood splatters.
After killing the challenger, I looked for another target.
[‘Blessing of the Silver Moon’ effect activated.]
[For up to 10 seconds, I blend into shadows within 10m of players, entering a stealth state…]
[Remaining time: 2.01 sec]
“How many was that?”
Since I lost track of the magic girl, I killed every nearby enemy I could find.
It wasn’t too difficult. After all, an assassin’s forte lies in ambush, and it’s impossible to be aware of an invisible assassin in the midst of chaos.
The difference in specs made the kill count rise quickly.
The area is now practically devoid of player presence while I drink a potion as my stealth fades.
When I notice a sound from below,
I see.
Let me drink this first, and I’ll come right after.
I’ll be there soon.
In that moment, as the potion touched my lips,
My eyes met those of the magic girl coming out from a rickety building.
“Hi.”
“Oh.”
The starlight on the magic wand twinkles for a moment.
The pink-haired girl, seemingly losing her will to fight, pointed her staff downward.
Her awkward voice asks a question.
“Isn’t… aren’t you Ms. Gamol?”
“Yes.”
“Could you just let me go?”
“Hmm.”

“What? What’s up with this kid’s nickname?”
