Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Novel

-----

The girls loved the paella, and that made me really happy, to the point I smiled, quite flattered by their praise. Elisa was actually a girl from a rich family but she was very nice to me and I didn't feel any superiority complex or something coming from her when she spoke to me or Elena, in fact she served Elena as if she were my daughter's servant instead.

Elisa was quite cute as well, but I didn't like how she treated Anna sometimes. I think she might be jealous of her… Oh well, whatever was the case it seemed that she had decided to go back to her home by now

"Thank you for your hospitality, mother-in-law- I mean, Miss Elayne!" said Elisa.

"D-Don't worry, I am glad you enjoyed the food, dear," I said with a smile, although she keeps calling me like that for some odd reason.

When we walked outside with her, there was a big car waiting for her outside, it looked to be a limousine, it was indeed quite a long car, just like they show in the movies. There was a man wearing black clothes waiting for her outside the car, calling for her.

"Lady Elisa, it is time to go back home, or you're going to make your father worry."

"Okaaaay~" said Elisa, as she hugged Elena.

"See you tomorrow!" she said.

"Hm, ciao." said Elena rather expressionlessly.

"Hey! Can you bring me home?" Anna asked.

"Eh?! No." said Elisa angrily.

"But you got a car!" said Anna.

"Elisa, bring her home, don't be bad," said Elena.

"Ugh… Okay…" Sighed Elisa, as she ended inviting Anna inside the car. Anna hugged and kissed my daughter's cheek leisurely, as Elena blushed a little bit.

"Bye, see you tomorrow~" said Anna.

"Hm, take care," said Elena.

"Eh? E-Elena! You tell me "ciao" but to Anna you tell her to "take care"?!" asked Elisa dumbfoundedly.

"Stop being so dramatic, she'll say that to you eventually," said Anna. "You have to win her slowly, don't be in such a hurry."

"…" Elena only watched them go, as the two girls entered the car and then the big black limousine drove away at a fairly nice but safe speed.

"Well, let's go back home then," I said.

"Hm."

As we walked back inside home, a black cat suddenly and stealthily walked near the door.

"Meow."

"Oh! Blackie! How are you today? Want some food?"

"Meow!"

"Alright then, hehe."

Blackie was a cute black stray cat that always came to our door asking for food, he seemed quite clean, and now that it was so cold, I wondered how it did outside… I was a bit worried.

"How about you stay the night inside? It was way too cold outside, wasn't it?" I asked, as I petted the adorable cat. It had a big coat of fur, but even then, it was probably not enough for this cold. Now I realize that I should have done this earlier.

"Meow?"

The cute cat wandered around the door and then entered when we invited him inside, he was probably used to entering other people's houses. Elena smiled as she kneeled and began petting and caressing the cute Blackie. He had very fluffy and soft fur, but it was covered in a bit of snow, and he was very cold, poor thing.

I quickly brought him some food, as he began eating the cat food we buy especially for him, the adorable black cat seemed very hungry. I also decided to give him some water to drink, and it drank almost all of it, it seemed to also be quite thirsty.

I didn't give milk to adult cats because they actually cannot consume it well. There was a special milk for cats that could be bought, but I didn't have any of that in here.

After my daughter played with Blackie for a while, she decided to go take a bath and then to sleep, and I wanted to go to bed as well, so I hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks.

"Sleep well," I said.

"You too. Don't cry, okay?" she asked.

"I won't… As long as you're here!" I said.

"You're a bit too clingy sometimes, mom…" she said.

I walked back to my bed to finally relax and see what I could do, and Blackie followed me from behind, jumping over my bed and resting near my feet. It seemed to be very happy inside, and had no shame in jumping over the bed and sleeping there. I really didn't mind him that much, he was happy there.

Now it's around 7 PM, so I guess I could play a bit of the game before sleeping… My goal was still to find my daughter in-game and more, but now that my character got famous for a silly video, I feel like if I tell her that I was Planta, she'll only grow embarrassed… It was better if she didn't know for now!

I checked my phone and found a message from Rita, my friend. It seemed that she was going to start playing soon, and she wanted to play alongside me if possible, but that's quite hard unless we move out of beginner areas and go into big towns where more players gather. That was unless she also created a Dryad or something similar that also spawns in the Forest of Beginnings… She said it would be boring to play alone, so I guess I had to tell her that.

I decided to do a quick search in the net about any other race that spawned in this area, which seemed quite empty, in all my play days I had yet to find another player, so the races that spawned here were very rare or people often don't even pick them.

​ The races I found were Dryad, often called Forest Spirits too, Ent, who are like the male equivalents of Dryads I think, Brownies, who were like cute gnomes that retained a youthful of child-like appearance, various types of fairies, some types of beast-kin, and even a few monster races too. But I haven't seen anyone like that in my place… I guess nobody liked these specific classes or the area of spawn? It seemed that some races had certain options in which place they could spawn too.

For example, beast-kin can spawn in here or in a few other towns, the same for fairies, but Dryads and Ents are kind of locked between this Forest of Beginnings and the Ancient Forest of Ents, interesting… I guess I will give Rita this page and tell her to pick whatever she wanted. Although she said she really wanted a "sexy-looking race" or something, I don't know what sort of Class she'll pick, I don't really want to force her to play anything, so it's up to her to decide to be whatever she wants.

[Elayne: Here dear, take this link, this is the list of races that can spawn in the Forest of Beginnings]

[Rita is writing…]

[Rita: Oooh! Looks like fun! I've never played these kinds of games; I wonder if we can find some handsome man around…]

[Elayne: Rita, you're married…]

[Rita: Hahahaha! I was joking! Come on, joking!]

[Elayne: Okay… Do you have any Class in mind?]

[Rita: Not really, I'll pick whatever, I guess…? Anything that does good damage perhaps]

[Elayne: Hahaha, yeah, feel free to pick whatever you feel like]

After my chat with Rita, I quickly decided to log-in into the game, as I was growing a bit bored, and it was either playing or watching TV until I fell asleep, and I preferred playing the game.

…

When I opened my eyes, I found myself inside of the house of Acorn, it was empty here and the night was about to fall too. What a pain, I wish I could play during the day though… Oh well. The night was a bit dangerous because monsters showed up more often, but that didn't really matter that much, I was sure that me, my spirits, and summons could fend them off quite easily!

Talking about spirit and summons, I was also a tamer! But I haven't found any compatible monster with myself yet… maybe I should go into a little quest to find a monster that I can tame which could actually help me? I wonder what I should tame though… Although the Taming Skill description said that the monster also had to choose me, and that beating them to almost death wouldn't always work… Ugh.

I also got the two Monster Souls, the Mushroom King, and the Crow King Souls, what do I do with these? I could "use" them for my Summons and summon them? I guess the Mushroom King could be summoned with Plant Companion and the Crow King with Farm Animal Companion, perhaps?

Maybe I should invest some points into them, perhaps… But the biggest pain was that it's already night! If it was like this I wouldn't be able to make my farmland comfortably without the light of the sun… So what do I even do?

Could I change weather settings? Maybe I could skip the night and jump to the day? Or was this the same circle for everybody? If so, then that's really a pain…

Oh right, I also got a branch I have to craft into a useful item, perhaps a staff that could replace my beginner one with subpar stats… That sounded quite nice, but I needed somebody to teach me about crafting, unlike cooking, I barely knew anything.

I've also read there were chances of ruining an item if I tried to craft something with materials, and there was this big chance that I could end up wasting this precious branch. I didn't want to ask the tree for another branch, so I'd have to do this for now!

"Guide! Guide! Where are you?"

"I am here! What do you need?"

The guide quickly showed up, aside from the cute Acorn, the Guide was a big buddy in this world.

"What should I do…? I want to craft, to tame, and to summon, and also to make a farm, but it's night already! Can I change the day and night in between?"

"Eh?! No, that cannot be done, this is a whole world after all, the day is the day and the night is the night, this is not a single player game where you can switch. If you work during the day then you'll have to sadly play at night."

"Ugh… So I can only see the bright sun on the weekends?" I asked.

"I am pretty sure you can see the sun in real life as well…" Sighed the guide.

"Ahahaha… I guess." I giggled.

"Hm, how about you play in the morning then? The sun comes out at around 4 AM," said the guide.

"That early?!" I asked.

"Well it's 7 PM and its already night, so yeah, you could opt for sleeping early and waking up around 4 AM!" said the guide.

"You're crazy, that's going to mess up my sleeping routine, no way. I prefer to just play on my farm at night, whatever." I sighed.

"Hmm… Well, okay then," said the guide. "Oh! I think you can actually find something that could help if you level up Spirit Magic up to Level 3." The guide specified.

"Why Level 3?!" I wondered.

"There is some sort of spell that summons spirits of sunlight, perhaps they can illuminate the night for you," said the guide.

"Wow! Really? Can I summon them even in the night?" I wondered.

"Yeah, the sunlight energies are absorbed into the land Dragon Veins, just find proper dragon veins, and summon them! As long as the spirit doesn't attack, it won't really disappear, so they can stick with you."

"Wow… That's really cool, I guess I can just do that- Oh right, I should go meet Acorn, maybe he can give me some ideas of what sort of monster could be easy to tame with some snacks or something…" I said.

"Right, go ask him."
