With the way Ranma had been acting before he kicked open the door, Nabiki had half expected an army of monsters from hentai and darker anime to be waiting for them.
“Owie.”
She did not expect to see them being small in number, bleeding, and now one more apparently dying thanks to where the door had landed.
“Well,” grumbled Ranma, his demon sword Lamentation still being held at the ready, “I don’t know if I should be let down or glad for this.”
Nabiki barely noticed the little nekomata appearing before some of the slowly recovering monsters, before said beasts slowly settled back down, now dead. She could sense the EP of both Luan Ko and Ranma growing as the high level monsters finally bit the dust, the experience being divided between those who had fought the battle. If such was the truth for this fantasy world, then that meant she’d need to have something that could allow her to share in the wealth of experience without actually fighting. “I don’t want to be a pain, Saotome,” she said, “but I don’t think we should be staying here too long.”
Ranma nodded as he used a standard attack, saving his MP, and dispatched several of the monsters still alive. “Yeah, the moment these guys are finished, the dungeon will try and dispatch some more to the area. If we’re lucky, it won’t be before we can get out.”
Kasumi continued to build her character, as well as monitor Ranma’s exit from the high level dungeon. Normally, it would be suicide for a low level player to even attempt to look around this type of high level dungeon; it was almost asking to have to restart.
But Ranma hadn’t been going in to defeat the main villain, only a small subordinate who had somehow captured Nabiki.
So her sister was now likely stuck as an elf sex slave. Okay, could have been worse. Kasumi had seen far more things in RPG that Nabiki could have ended up as, many of which would have had her killed when she returned to the Real World.
Of course, now her sister belonged to Ranma, a condition that could very well carry over once they left the world, unless they found a way to rewrite Nabiki’s character.
Oh well, she couldn’t worry about that at the moment, sending Ranma a warning how the game help line hadn’t been able to offer much help, but did warn that the karma component of the game may not allow someone to leave if reborn in the world.
“That wasn’t nice of them to do,” she muttered. Why stick people with bad karma in this fantasy world? Didn’t that just bring down that world?
Shaking her head, she turned back to creating her own character. The faster she finished, the quicker she could join them and help, and the time dilation effect could start up, thus giving them more time than the simple few hours she knew they’d have before someone returned to either attack, make a pass at, or other such things for Ranma.
Of course, it did offer other possibilities. After all, what happened in the World, stayed in the World.
And after all, she was quite certain Nabiki would need to be ... broken in. And as her sister, it was Kasumi’s duty to ensure it was done right.
If anyone had been watching, they would have been surprised to see the evil smirk forming on Kasumi’s face.
But then again, how many people could take a sweet and innocent character and make them one of the biggest causes of blood, death, and carnage among the enemies of an RPG?
