This isn’t a story of a noble knight or a savior. This is the tale of a cynical knight in the hack-and-slash game world with the maximum difficulty setting. 

No system to help him.

No status panel to notify his progress.

No HUD to give him hints.

However, one hope remains. The knight “Crow” retains an in-game ability. By shattering objects or defeating enemy leaders, he can summon random game items as if the world itself is still a game. With a pet crow "Cow-Cow" by his side, the Crow Knight trudges through this treacherous land, armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a knack for minding his own business until fate decides otherwise.

Also, please do not speak in caps. He hates it.

Oh, did I forget to mention that his pet crow has three legs? What? It isn't important? Never mind, then.

Morning arrived. After breakfast, we prepared to head home. Before the journey resumed, I tidied my inventory, but I kept wine jars on our carts. There was an experiment that I had in mind. 


Lenitia received my horse token and used it. Iridescence light brightened the area. The token vanished. Replacing the token was a white Pegasus with completed armor, clothes, saddle, stirrups, and other gear. 


I closed my eyes as I recognized the pattern. It seemed that all game characters always unlocked their soul-bound horses on their first try. As for me, I might have to sacrifice something for RNGesus to show me mercy. 


Lenitia giggled and nudged me. "Dear Supreme General. I'll do my best bearing your babies."


Lia cackled while I facepalmed. These women got bolder every day. I wondered who encouraged them.
