NEETS
Chapter 8: Sacred Animals and Mass Stories

something licking my cheek. it feels ticklish. What is this?

it made me wake up. yes I just remember I was still lying in the grass of a hill. and the one who licked me was a gray cat.more precisely a giant lion if in the original form.

my body was still limp and could not move because it gave off great force last night.The cat continued to lick my cheek, but not for a long time he headed towards my neck. he scratched the necklace on my neck. It was a controlling necklace and could not be removed.

the cat continued to scratch my necklace until it felt a little electric shock.

"this is a miracle" I thought.

after the necklace was released my body was lighter to move. I still can't believe the necklace was loose. I still hold the pengang. my neck to make sure.

I sat cross-legged and then the cat sat on my lap.I stroked the cat then suddenly it glowed.I was panicked who thought he would turn into a giant lion again. immediately threw the cat and ran away, but what happened was not like that.

"pooff!!"

a small smoke rose from the cat's change, and under the smoke a little girl appeared.she was wearing a hooded robe so I could see her face less. but I don't know why I'm no stranger to that robe.

"adu, du duh.you are very rude yes sir.you are playing throwing Momo suddenly" said the little girl in the form of a cat

after I thought for a moment I just remembered.it was a thief who hit me before. that made me a prisoner soldier.

I who was already upset first went straight to the cat girl and pinched her left and right cheeks.

"adududududududududuhh... what are you doing sir!!!" yelled the cat boy.

"you hit me that time right?, didn't you?. You caused me to feel that hell right?. That made me kill innocent people!!" I shouted at the cat girl while shedding a few tears.

"tu, wait a minute sir. Let Momo explain first!!" the cat girl said in pain.

"i don't want to hear your explanation.I'll keep pinching your cheeks until I'm satisfied" I said

the cat girl kept rebelling but I didn't let go of her just like that. I kept on nailing her until I was completely satisfied.

"the thunder!!" yelled the cat girl.

suddenly a lightning bolt struck me. The lightning was not very strong but enough to make me bounce.

"all right, all right. I give up!!" say

the cat boy came up to me while rubbing his fiery red cheeks due to my pinch.

"uuhh. whereas Momo has been hard-earned to save the master but the master instead did this to Momo. Momo was upset to know" said the cat girl.

I approached the cat girl and stroked her head.

"cup, cup, cup. good girls can't be like that. Yes I'm sorry I'm outrageous" I said.

"iya Momo forgive" replied the cat girl

"oh, your name is Momo, I'm R. Who is this beautiful Momo?. and why are you helping me?." I asked.

"iiiihh. Don't call Momo beautiful. Momo this man knows." replied Momo.

"eeeeehhhh???!!!" I shouted in disbelief.

"eeeeehhhh???!!!" shouted someone who was as shocked as me.

actually she is a fairy who suddenly came out of my body after a long time no news. That fairy is Shiva my guide.

"Shiva?!!. Where the hell have you been? can't be contacted. don't guide me at all in this world and instead leave me unclear. Beware of you yes!!" I said pissed

Shiva flew straight away from me and I chased after him.

"tabooong!! forgive meuu!!" shiva shouted while flying.

after I managed to catch Shiva, I tickled his little body to explain everything.

"ma, I'm sorry. hueee...!! I just updated.not long anyway" Shiva said in tears.

"already sister Peri. do not cry. later Momo beat up Mr. R" said Momo pacify Shiva.

"hey. why am I being blamed. Besides what is a moment. there may have been a month know you can not be contacted Shiva." I replied.

"one month? from the time I've been through it's just like a few hours" said Shiva who seemed confused by what happened.

"by the way why is there a sacred animal here?. and she's really adorable." asked Shiva as he stroked Momo's head.

"maybe let Momo explain everything" I said

I also invited Momo to tell me what really happened.he also with a proud puffed up chest began to talk.

"Momo wants to ask one thing to Mr. R. I don't know if this is true or not but I've been more than 100 years no longer see it. Is it true that Mr. R is a player?" ask Momo to look serious.

hearing Momo's question I immediately pulled Shiva who was flying beside me slightly away from Momo.

"hey Shiva you said no one would know that I'm a player?" ask me to Shiva

Shiva hasn't answered my question yet but Momo quickly approached me and answered my question.

"maybe old R will wonder why Momo can know that Mr. R is a player.The answer is simple.We holy animals can detect a player. and it's our job as their coach to be stronger and follow their adventures. Momo realized that lord R was a player when she saw lord R in the back city" Momo replied.

"thankfully, I thought you would destroy me instantly if I found out I was a player" I said in relief.

after that Momo told me to sit down and told me to listen to her story.

he told me that about 100 years ago there were a lot of sacred animals, but almost all of them died and now there are only a few left and also very rare. and they're spread all over the world.

he said all that because of a greedy king of the human kingdom named Hart. This person is also still alive today.I imagine humans over 100 years old must look very old. but Momo said age had no effect on her because she had already mastered the master game.

no one knows who King Hart really is. Momo tells before King Hart first appeared there were about 100 players who tried this game.The players were there who survived and some gave up and chose to log out of the game.

I stopped Momo's story for a second

"eh wait means we can log out at any time from this game, but why can't I?"

after defeating the demon king and completing this game, the player was bored and finally wanted to master this game for himself. he created a system to lock up the players here and take over the game. The players who can't log out are getting scared. because he also made the system if you die in this NEET world then you will also die in the real world.

one by one the players died because they were getting older and there was frustration then suicide in this NEET world.

no one knows the fate of the genius gamer until now, and for the sake of taking over the game back.The developer included a female-shaped system that can reset the game as before. it is said that the woman is an Elf or a human race with long and pointed ears.

after there was news that there was an Elf who could reset the game to normal again.Maybe this woman is the one I should look for as Shiva said at the beginning.

one day, King Hart suddenly appeared from nowhere he immediately made a policy to look for the Elf in various ways.he got information that the elf was in the demon continent.

so for over 100 years he destroyed the village of the Elves in the demon continent and also eliminated the power of the 4 elemental crystals that supported life on the demon continent. which made many disasters in this demon continent.it is also what made us saint beasts almost extinct.

because more than 100 years also king Hart did not find what he was looking for. eventually he was more crazy and wanted to destroy everything in the demon continent for the elf to come out.

"hmm.so from your story this point I have to find that Elf woman before king Hart.and after that revive the 4 elemental crystals that exist in this demon continent. then succumb to Hart so that this game becomes normal again and the players can play it happily again." ask Momo.

Momo suddenly prostrated herself before me and begged me.

"yes, momo please lord R save this world.because you are the only player in the NEET world right now.you are our only hope of the saint beasts"

I thought for a moment of Momo's request.I thought that if I still had my adventurer license, it might be easier to adventure and strengthen myself in this world.

"oh yes Momo. when you hit me in the back city instead of you taking my fallen adventurer license?" ask Momo

Momo thought hard then after recalling something she said.

"aahh. that thing is yes..!! because Momo thought it was a useless item, Momo just threw it away" Momo replied casually.

I walked over to Momo and pinched her cheeks again.

"adududududuha....!!!!" shouted Momo

"don't you know how important a license is stupid!! how can I go on an adventure without that license.?" I shouted to Momo.

"young, maaaafff!!! I'm just kidding Mr. R. I'm just kidding" Momo replied.

I finally removed my pinch from Momo's cheek.he finally took out a small bag under his cloak and inside the bag was my adventurer license tablet. and there he also took out a chain bracelet with a sword-shaped hanger from the bag.

"uh isn't that ARK?" asked Shiva who looked curious about the bracelet issued by Momo.

"ARK? what'sthat?" ask me to Shiva

"ARK is a legendary weapon that is reduced to certain shapes such as necklaces, bracelets or rings to make it easier to carry." replied Shiva.

"for more details please just use Mr. R" said Momo while giving the bracelet he carried.

Momo put the chain bracelet on my right hand.it was alive and wrapped around my wrist, which I felt was not a flowing force but a sense of weight weighing on my hand. even more because to move my right hand was already very difficult.

"be, this thing is heavy" I said, holding its weight.

"it's still not his original form" said Shiva.

"try Mr. R say "sword release"." said Momo

I tried to raise my right hand then said "sword release!!"

the bracelet on my right hand instantly shone that light then formed a one-handed sword that was quite large and extremely heavy. unable to bear the weight I removed my grip from the sword and finally it fell and stuck to the ground. deep enough until the sharp part of the sword was covered all by the ground and only showed the handle of the sword that had the accent of a lion head.

"hey. Momo you want to kill me with this heavy sword?"

Momo then walked towards the sword.he pulled out the sword easily.like no burden at all. After pulling out the sword he directly pointed the tip of the sword towards me and said.

"sir R. This sword is not heavy just that this sword has not chosen you as its owner."

after that Momo said the word "restore" and the sword changed again into a bracelet and stuck to my hand.

"what if I could master this sword I could become invincible?" much

"gd-tt.." Shiva laughed

"hey R in this NEET world even though you are the main character you can not be over power like the main characters in other isekai (other world) themed light novels. here the cooperation of the group is most in priority, because every job in the world has its own advantages and disadvantages" said Shiva.

"that's it" said Momo.

"so what should I do?." I asked

Momo also said, "the force of the weapon, after that Momo will give your adventurer license, Mr. R. if you succeed, you will definitely find a plan for the next"

"the way?" I guess I'm still confused.

"it's easy to set up Momo"

after saying so Momo instantly turned into a giant gray lion, and she immediately swallowed me indiscriminately.

the room around me became dark instantly but not for long the light illuminated the room.

somehow I was suddenly in a cave and where I was standing was a box surrounded by light, and outside the box there were a lot of monsters like giant scorpions, snakes, snakes, giant centipedes and many more.

"master R, sir R. Can you hear Momo?"

momo's voice suddenly sounded in my head.

"yes, Momo is very clear" I replied.

"now what level are you, Mr. R?" ask Momo

I checked the status on my right hand which was so heavy, and when I checked it turned out I was already at level 15 now.

"level 15, why Momo?" ask again.

"please let Momo explain.for a while Mr. R is in the safe zone.as long as in the safe zone the master will not be attacked by monsters. but this safe zone will also not last long. maybe about 10 hours.after that monsters with levels of 20-30 will blindly attack the master. and also persevere to raise the level for the next 7 days.so think carefully about the strategy in the future.in order to continue to survive.and do not forget to have fun"
