Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online
Food Sources, Rat?!
Taking off the VR Gear, I let out a long sigh.
“Huh ...” Again, a very long breath.
That was an interesting experience. I stretched my body for a moment, trying to keep my body from getting too stiff. Looking at the wall clock, it turned out that just an hour and a half after I entered, the acceleration six times made me feel like I had been playing for a long time.
Walking into the kitchen, I washed my hands and then took food. Of course this is to maintain nutrient intake, okay? Not that I'm greedy or anything ...
Starting to stuff rice into my mouth, I remembered how I had starved (in EFO) before. Element Satiation will be critical enough for me.
With the accelerated consumption of stamina by Physical Strength, the consumption of Satiation to restore it clearly increased. In addition, Increase Heal itself accelerates the consumption of Satiation to speed recovery.
Briefly, the durability and balance of my character was the worst.
“Is it clear I will always starve, yes ..?”
Besides, I've died twice in the game. It's not that I didn't feel anything after being killed by another player. Even if I get angry, it doesn't mean I can do something because it's also allowed management.
“Better I focus on leveling up from Skill-Skill-ku.” Finishing my plate clean, I snorted lightly. “Yaa, not that I haven't felt what EFO is yet, but I haven't ‘really’ felt it. I better get in.”
Yes, EFO, ‘ really-pull’, not just ‘fully pull’.
“Yaa, looks like I'm going serious with EFO,” my mumble smiled.
It's gonna be fun. That seems to be more than enough if there is a question. I'll drive soon. Enter the Virtual Hall, set the alarm time log out, and finally plunge into EFO.
The scenery around me .. once again, the forest. However, unlike before, the trees here were much busier and the sun was above my head. The amount of sun is only one even here, yes.
My body is a little heavier. It was only natural that there was a small debuff during the day due to the Half Vampire Bloodline effect.
“Better I do self-training for now, there must be some little monsters around here, huh. Oho! First, check the Title effect that was obtained earlier.”
Opening the status window, I saw a new Title and used Basic Appraisal on it.

“Yaa, I don't really understand the usefulness of the effect ...”
... Possibility of finding a new breakthrough. I guess it's useless in combat but it might be effective in other areas.
“Then. Oh, the Basic Magic Mastery and Magic Talent levels increased by 1, while Mana Power rose by 2 levels? Is it because I keep supplying mana into that fog ball?”
Anyway, it's a good thing. Now start practicing Enhanced Spells .. yes, it turns out this is easier and shorter than before. Even now I have been able to flick through the fog of which Enhanced Spells have been contained within.
Making sure that the Skill had leveled up, I started searching for the little monsters. After all, practicing the skills of players and the skills of the game are two separate things. However, I have not been able to find a single monster.
“Do not even cliche monsters like Wolves exist?”
As if answering my complaint a monster appeared, but ...
“Chuuuu ..!”
... Instead of a wolf, it was a gray rat as big as a soccer ball that came out.
No need to be disappointed, I am still very weak. This is even my last chance for today, if I die once more, then have to wait for tomorrow to get back in the game. This is the anti-addiction mechanism in EFO.
Instead, get ready and do it. “Appraise.”
[Infectionous Rat
Health Points: 125/125]
The information regarding the rat came in, and as I expected, the rat rushed towards me. While holding back tears as the amount of HP was even far above me, I launched a kick towards the rat while starting to create a ball of mana fog.
“Chuuuu!”
However, the rat dodged my kick nimbly and jumped back as it started biting my leg.
“Defense Correction.”
I don't have an attacking Skill, only one support-type spell and in this case only my character's physical abilities are the answer to being able to execute a proper attack. However, my own reflex abilities are poor so this kind of countermeasure is necessary.
Utilizing the movement of the rat that kept trying to suppress its bite, I dropped my foot so that the mouse fell right under the ball of fog mana. Then a ball of fog exploded, pressing down on the rat. Yeah, I know because I felt it myself before.
Utilizing this, I gripped her tail and ...
Duak Duak Duak Duak
... An ominous sound began to be heard as I continued to smash the rat into the trunk of a nearby tree. Well, it's okay, maybe.
I know the scene where an animal is made into a bat is unethical but ... You know, I don't know what else to do?
Physical abilities, especially my own reflexes, are bad. I can't demonstrate beautiful martial arts even if I want to. This is the only effective way I can think of to be able to use the physical superiority of my character.
Well, has it been 30 or 40 hits? That was when the notification finally went up.
[Infectionous Rat was successfully killed]
I sat down, dropping the corpse of the rat (fat) which was now starting to let out a black mist. The corpse slowly weathered in visible speed and only its tail remained.
“What is drop animation?” I asked while panting. “But isn't that a little too long? Umm, there may be a reason but I don't know anything now.”
Well, there's a lot I don't know about EFO!
All right, for now take that rat's tail and then score.

Type: Material
Rank: General
Durability: 34/50
Weight: 1
A tail of the Infectionous Rat monster, a rat that has long been known as a carrier of pests and diseases. His tail of the Infectionous Rat was known for being the part of the body where he stored the poison he had consumed, so it would cause a small poisoning when eaten]
“... I guess I can't eat it, huh?”
Alright, I better take a look at my Satiation value first so as not to end up like before.
“Ugh! Already reduced by more than 20 pawns?!”
Again, the durability of this character is probably the worst. If this continues I will experience hunger because of the imbalance.
“Hmm ... yes, is there an easy way to fill Satiation?” muttered.
If I were to rely on the possibility of dropping meat items, that would be tantamount to increasing Satiation consumption. Looking for fruit ... does this forest really have fruit?
So the easiest answer remains to Houra City, huh? But it will most likely be difficult, I clearly heard that the NPC who killed me earlier said something about the descendants of Vampires.
In the race description it has been mentioned that Dhampire was rejected, but I never thought it would be that bad.
“It's becoming increasingly difficult ...” Thinking further to be able to find another alternative, I finally nodded. “Yaa, I thought this might work.”
I got up and walked back in the woods to find monsters, I hope not the rats I'll meet.
