Reset: DPS to Support?!

Shinto walked through the busy streets of the town of Parm as he held onto some spicy rice cakes within his hands. Soon after, he placed them into his mouth.

"...In the end, I ended up eating the rice cakes..." Shinto mumbled as he chewed on the spicy hot rice cakes. "Well, I can't complain. This is quite good..." he helplessly shook his head as he continued walking through the streets.

"Now then... With Frey and Greld doing their part of the preparations, I'll have to do my part as well," he stopped his footsteps as he looked around the town's centre. "...I just need to find the right party to proceed with the plan."

While Frey would try out the food made by the hotel whilst gathering the opinions from the players regarding the monthly pass, she would also bring in food made by Greld to the hotel in order to sway the players.

As for Shinto, he would party up with players that are on the monthly pass in order to find out the performance of the equipment given by the hotel. Although Frey could obtain the equipment herself via investing gold through the monthly pass benefits, it wouldn't be wise. For all he knows, maybe there was a gimmick to the equipment that required coming back to the hotel once the monthly pass finishes.

Shinto scanned around the area in hopes of finding any players with the equipment provided by the hotel. However, he couldn't find anyone with the equipment. It wasn't easy considering that there was an area within the hotel that most monthly pass players would be at. "Would most of the players with the equipment be at that place instead? Though... there should be at least some that would be looking for party members here, right?"

Shinto didn't have access to the rest area, so he couldn't look for a party there. While Frey could easily do Shinto's job seeing that she has access with the monthly pass, her plate was already full with having to do other things in preparation for the live cooking show. So it was up to Shinto to do it.contemporary romance

"Sigh. I guess there's no luck finding anyone here," he sighed. All the players in the vicinity were those wearing equipment obtained from mobs and from the marketplace. Nothing too unique nor flashy like the ones provided by the hotel. "Hmm... Maybe I'll have better luck at the dungeon entrance."

Seeing that he couldn't find anyone with the hotel's equipment at the town's centre, Shinto decided not to idle around and quickly made his way over to the dungeon entrance.

...

While heading to the Old Wood Dungeon entrance, Shinto fought monsters along the way in order to be efficient in levelling up, successfully becoming level 12.

As he reached towards the entrance, he saw that there weren't as many players here unlike this morning. It was understandable as most would be in the dungeon by now.

"There are not many people here, huh?" he let out a sigh. "I don't seem to see anyone with the hotel's equipment... I guess it was futile to come here..." Just as he was about to leave the premise to head to another area, he heard a voice calling him out.

"Hey, you!" A woman's voice rang through Shinto's ear.

"...?" Turning around, he saw a woman with what seemed to be a mage get-up walking up to Shinto.

"You're looking for a party right? What's your level and class?" she asked.

"Uh... Level 12 and as for my class... It's a priest," he said calmly.

"O-Oh?! A priest and you're level 12? That's perfect!" she cheered, "Would you like to join our party? We're going to tackle Shivuliz's Den, that's deeper into the canyon."

"Shivuliz Den? The level 10 sub-dungeon in old wood...?" he asked.

"Yeah! So would you like to join us? We have two swordsmen that are level 11 and 13 respectively as well as me who is level 12 and is a mage!" she said. "With you in our party, it'll be perfect!"

"...Errr well, I would love to join but..." Shinto looked around the vicinity in order to see if there was the mage's companion anywhere near the area. He had hoped that one of them would be wearing the equipment he was looking for, otherwise, if none of them wore it, he would look elsewhere instead.

"...But?" The mage waited for the continuation of Shinto's sentence. "If you're worried about the loot, we'll split it fair and square! Though, it'll be based on contribution."

"Well..." Just as he was about to continue his sentence, another batch of voices called out to them.

"Hey, Raina! Did you find anyone yet?" A young man scurried towards the two as he said in a loud voice. His armour was flashy and unique. Which instantly caught the eyes of Shinto.

'Ah, isn't that...?' If he remembered correctly it's the same one that he saw most players in the rest area were wearing.

"Oh, Lucas, I found one right here!" Raina pointed towards Shinto, "I'm just waiting for his confirmation."

Without a second thought, he instantly decided. "I'll join the party."

"Oh, that's great! Now we have a full set to tackle the dungeon~" Raina happily said.

"What's this guys class and level?" Lucas asked.

"It's the one we perfectly needed! A priest and his a suitable level to aid us."

"I see. A priest will help us tremendously. Add him to the party, I'll be going ahead now."

"Right~" Raina nodded her head as she sent a party invitation over towards Shinto. Meanwhile, Lucas went ahead of the two.

[ You have been invited to a party by Raina, would you like to accept? ]

"Accept," Shinto said.

The moment he agreed to the party invite, his name appeared alongside the list of party members.

[ Party Leader: Raina, Mage, Level 12 ]

[ Party Member: Lucas, (Hidden), Level 13 ]

[ Party Member: Ethaniel, (Hidden), Level 11 ]

[ Party Member: Shinto, (Hidden), Level 12 ]

"Alright, you're in! Ah, it seems you also have your details set to private..." Raina pouted as she saw the screen showcasing the party members. "What's with everyone setting their player info to private these days?"

Often times than not, many players would choose to private their player info in order to prevent onlookers from viewing their profile. When one private their info, anything related to them will be private and be seen as 'hidden', such is the case with the current member list.

"Aha... I guess it's a preference to private one's player information," he let out a slight chuckle as his eyes locked onto a familiar name on the list. 'Ethaniel? Where have I heard the name before...?' he thought to himself.

Before he could try to remember any further, Raina said in a cheerful voice. "I guess... Anyways, shall we be on our way now? We shouldn't keep the members waiting right?"

"Ah, right. Then let's go," Shinto nodded his head.
