Mariela and Alfie
It was 4 o’clock at the real world.
Ponsuke logged in one hour earlier than usual.
Because he had plan at the real world, he logged in one hour earlier like this, but when he looked around he only saw a few players.
Besides the atmosphere of the players were also a bit different.
The time period where many players logged in was from 10 PM until 2 AM.
The number of player at 3 AM until 7 AM was small. He heard from his friend Riku...

Chapter 1 – Mysterious Skill
Alicia who got excited from me getting along with Regina devoured me for the whole day after that. Then the next day.
The demon girl Regina would be entrusted to the guild for a while, where she would be lending her strength for the rebuilding of the surrounding region.
「W-why my master!? How can you lend me to any other human than you……!」
Regina cried when she heard about the decision and clung on me.
But this...

The alarm sound was ringing.
She slowly opened her eyes and took off the headset from her head. Several strands of her hair were stuck on the headset. It felt a bit hurt because they got forcefully pulled.
A nurse called out to her.
「How is it, the virtual world?」
The female nurse briskly did her work while talking to the long haired delicate girl Wakamiya Nanami.
But the nurse’s words seemed practiced.

The Girl’s Wish
「Ponsuke! Buy Nanako-chan time until her skill activate!」
The location was the grassland with bumpy ground instead of a flat one.
Ponsuke planted his shield on the ground that was slightly slanted and blocked a kobold’s hammer.
The kobold that had dog head swung down its hammer on Ponsuke many times with both hands.
Recast, cool down……after using skill or magic once, it would become unusable for a while. Those terms meant the w...

Nanako
Capital of Hope.
The shrine that was located near the adventurer guild had a very extravagant make.
Even though it was just a pile of data in reality, many players had been moved with wonder by its solemn atmosphere.
After all they could feel its texture and mass when touching it.
It wouldn’t be false to say that the players could feel the atmosphere inside the shrine for real.
In such place, Ponsuke was feeling troubled as he faced the old pries...

It was a forest with filled with big trees. The ground was slightly muddy.
The big trees and vegetations there were something that couldn’t be seen in real world. All of them were so big that it deluded anyone who entered the forest to feel like it was them who had shrunken.
Two girls were running through that forest.

Her strange long red hair was standing out inside the forest.

This place was called as the World of Greed ――Capital of Greed in the past.
In that Capital of Discretion, a trio was walking through a complicated alleyway where not many passerby could be found. The three of them were wearing robe that reached until their waist.

When he noticed it was already two weeks since he first started playing the game.
Akito paid the monthly fee because he would continue playing for the next month. He planned to continue the game still as an orc from here on.
He had no plan of joining the clearing group. Being an orc had many demerits but he thought that it wasn’t too bad.
He was humming a tune at his workplace Mild while sorting the cardboard boxes at the back of the superm...

The group hurried to reunite with Ponsuke who fell from the cliff.
They had to cross a bridge in order to go down the cliff. Then at the opposite side of the cliff they searched for a place that headed down and went through it.
It cost them time because they went through the roundabout way, but then they also encountered monsters on the way.
Mariela shot a flying monster before she broke into a run again.

Five orcs.
Then warriors, hunter, and magician NPC and monk NPC formed a group and walked inside the forest that was thick with trees.
There was a path that allowed them to barely be able to walk through the forest. It seemed to be a path that the orcs were usually using to walk.
Ponsuke tried to grasp a tree branch on the way. It snapped and turned into red particles of light.

In the school’s classroom.
The lesson was already over. Akito and Riku were talking before the homeroom started.
Recently the topic of their talk was only about Pandora. The time they were talking with each other had also increased compared to before, perhaps because now they had shared interest.
Riku was holding his tablet while lending his ear toward Akito’s story.

It was a marshland.
The sky was cloudy. The atmosphere was gloomy and there was also the eerie cry of some birds.
With such player, few players wanted to visit here. The merit of this place was that players wouldn’t need to compete for monster here.
Alfie stumbled because of the muddy ground.
Mud splashed and she lost her balance and fell because her foot slipped.

Special quest.
A quest that was also a strengthening event for orc race.
The first step was to depart from the Capital of Hope and visited a forest where there was an orc settlement in it. If there was no orc in the party, a battle would break out, but if there was orc in the party, they would be requested to subjugate the ogre that settled down in the forest.
Ogre subjugation was regarded as a grand achievement among the orcs. &...

Its disappearance from the quest list caused a bit of commotion inside and outside the game.
It was one of the staple quests for raising money in the early stage. Many players were troubled by its sudden disappearance and they immediately wrote about it in forum and the like.
Akito who was related, or rather the cause of that commotion was at his wits’ end.
There were five students inside the classroom.

A trait of Pandora’s Box was the necessity of clearing a quest in order to obtain money.
Though it was also possible to earn money by selling drop item and the like. Depending on the case there was also times when doing that would be more profitable than doing quest.
Although this was a world inside a game, economy definitely existed between the players. There were also a lot of players who obtained a lot of money by making use of that.

Akito was lying prostrate on his table. He was recalling about yesterday.
Riku was looking at the screen of his tablet while sometimes glancing at Akito.
「You’re looking dead right from the morning. What’s wrong? Did you get into argument with those two?」
By those two he meant Alfie and Mariela who was in a party with Ponsuke.
The level of the three of them had surpassed 10, but based on their racial and job composition and ...

Ponsuke was facing a middle-aged priest NPC that had bad attitude.
A lot of players came visiting the shrine where they could obtain job, but there was partition around the reception to make the process hard to watch from outside.
A job was important information that could let other knew about a player’s status and skill. The partition was there to prevent third party from finding out about it.

She couldn’t believe it. Sadness overflowed from her heart.
She believed them. From the bottom of her heart.
That they were her family. That they would always be her ally. That there was no way they would betray her.
「Fuh. Why, you ask? What a funny question.」
「Yes. Truly. It’s too late to ask that. You must have known the answer already from the beginning.」
