9 A Suspicious Cube, Dangerous Embryo, and Menacing Arm. It’s Bad News I Tell You.

Phew, should be fine if I’m this far away.

It got delayed for a while, but I’ll look through my message box now. Apparently 2 messages were sent.

… I see, the first one was an apology for the bug and the second was compensation for maintenance.

It seems that the 50000 Thul that was given out for the emergency maintenance was already delivered, which meant this cube was probably to atone for the game malfunction.

I pretty much ended up encountering all the bugs that were patched, so I can have some high hopes for this, right?

Anyways, let’s have a looksie. I placed the white cube in my inventory and read its description.

・Stasis Cube

A paradoxical box created by the Great Race of Yith using high-end technology . With their complete understanding of space-time, this invention twists all principles to the will of the user.

Because the Yithians have fallen to ruin, this technology isn’t possible to replicate anymore.

Storage: Infinite

Storage Restrictions: Non-living things only

Effects Granted: Time Manipulation, Relapsing Repair.

Colour Out Of Space Embryo

Mr.Shiny’s Right Arm

Ah, this is bad news.

・Colour Out Of Space Embryo

A hollow sphere measuring around 7 to 8cm.

If submerged in shallow water or in an area rich in nutrients, a Colour Out Of Space larvae will be born within 2 to 3 days.

The larvae can grow through obtaining 500 HP per day and can fully become an adult with a week’s worth.

Imprinting is possible.

・Mr. Shiny’s Right Arm

The right arm of a certain Shoggoth Lord that passed long ago.

It requires resolve, but if you accept it, you’ll be able to acquire a great calamity (blessing).

“Uwaa…”

Yeah, how should I put this? It’s almost like management is trying to desperately tell me, “Please accept this and don’t take it to court!”

Well, it was realistic enough to where I could’ve gone mad in real life if I was unlucky. Too much is too much, I guess.

Since I could feel the sincerity from the admins, I’ll just accept the gift without complaints.

Rather, for what it’s worth, wasn’t the cube just as crazy? It’s pretty much on the same level as the Colour Out Of Space and that’s saying a lot…

Aside from that, if Mr. Shiny exists, then it opens up the possibility of the game taking place on Earth which is simply wild.

… I feel like I’ve only been pointing out how absurd everything’s been for a while now. Crazy, right?

Let’s take a look at my status and calm down for a bit.
