chapter 13
13 – Status – (2)
As soon as he finished speaking, a pleasant sound was heard.
[Notice – Status function was used. ]
[Notice – Raising Empress has a total of six stats. Stats are obtained through specific choices or learning… … ]
Blablablabla.
It’s a notification I’ve seen hundreds of times while playing games. As I roughly waved my hand and skipped it, a long, gray-white sheet finally came up.
=
Lyncia Hodier Irn
[Achievement Level: 1 / Empress of Twilight]
[Leadership 5] [Martial power 5] [Intelligence 5]
[Spirit 5] [Charisma 5] [Luck 5]
[Stress 6/10]
[Attribute List]

[remaining survival score 4]
=
“Five.”
I exclaimed
Finally, the status window for Raising the Empress popped up.
The system of Raising Empress is similar to that of any other RPG game. There are six different stats, and you can develop them as you progress through the game. And depending on this stat value, the options in certain situations increase or decrease. In fact, it was a method that was no different from the previous one.
And the achievement level shown under the name increases by one according to the progress of the game. Raising the Empress consists of a total of 8 acts, so when it reaches 8, it is the ending. The title that followed him also changed, but it didn’t really mean much.
All of Lyncia’s statuses, which had just entered Act 1, were 5. It was the default and initial value. In other words, it was no different from a blank sheet with nothing in it.
Then, when I noticed something strange, I frowned.
“Why is the stress like this?”
The stress, which should have been the same as the initial value, increased by 1.
Of course, the stress level could have increased because of the situation surrounding Lyncia. But at this point, there was nothing to stress her about. It was the same in game.
that it is
It was hard to see that there would be no influence from me, who was also a stone that rolled in.
“It’s embarrassing.”
It’s so embarrassing that I don’t know why. It is said that stress can rise without warning in the future.
As I followed Lyncia to the carriage, I glared at the increased number.
The stress system was the identity of Raising the Empress.
When Lyncia is shocked or encounters a difficult situation, her stress level increases. And if you fill the 10 stress bars to the full, instead of resetting to the initial value of 5, negative traits are created.
These traits adversely affect Lyncia’s personality and behavior. Also, the direction of the ending is determined according to the number of negative characteristics.
It is said that even if Lyncia survives to the end, if she cannot manage her characteristics and stress, she may end up with the worst ending, the tyrant ending.
In the end, as a supporting actor, I have to overcome the numerous crises facing Lyncia, and in addition, I have to manage my mentality.
Swearing rose to the end of his throat, but he managed to hold it in.
There was no hardcore like this.
After that, I collected my mind and saw the phrase written below, which was not originally seen in Raising the Empress.
[remaining survival score 4]
Survival points given every time you evade the dead end and clear the story. I should have known how to use this.
[Notice – In Death March mode, you can nurture Empresses using survival points. Survival points can be obtained by avoiding dead ends or progressing through the story. ]
Alim said this about the survival score.
I roughly put my finger on the survival score.
Then, the six gray status figures lit up.
When I pressed one of the lighted statuses, the number 1 rose to 6 with a crackling sound effect.

>Y/N
I opened my eyes wide.
“I hope this.”
you’re a trainer
yes. There is no law telling people to die.

As I got into the carriage with Lincia, the coachman waved his arm. Then the carriage moved slowly towards the assembly hall.
Lincia, who was sitting across from me, was looking out the window, making an expression that didn’t know what she was thinking.
Even in that situation, I was only staring at the status window.
[remaining survival score 4]
As a result of rough handling, it was possible to use these survival points to enhance the Empress’ 6 basic stats.
Once the stat was raised by 1, the required survival score was 2 points.
Being able to manipulate stats that could not normally be obtained was tantamount to cheating.
Of course, it was not without risk as much as consuming points. In order to get a lot of Survival Points, you must inevitably go through that many Dead Ends.
I pondered for a while.
About whether to save this score or use it.
The conclusion came quickly.
“I have to write it.”
You never know when the game will be over.
If there are things that can be pulled out, you have to take care of them even if you sell your feet.
The ability level to raise has already been determined.
If there was one thing I felt keenly while enjoying Raising Empress for over 500 hours, it was the fact that the most important of these six stats was mental strength.
leadership? force? intellect? Charm? luck? Not really necessary.
No, of course you will need it later. However, in Act 1, there were not many options or actions that required these stats.
However, in terms of mental strength, he served as a filial son from the beginning to the end.
It’s been very effective for stress management.
[required survival score 2]
>Y/N
Without hesitation, I raised my sanity level by 1.
And I saw Lyncia. She just stared outside, not noticing the change that had happened to her.
Well. Well, it’s about 1.
If you post a little more, the story may be different.
I looked at the status window to raise my mental strength stat once again.
[required survival score 4] [required achievement level 2]
> Insufficient Survival Points
> The achievement level is insufficient.
“Bastards.”
yes. They said it made it so easy to use cheats.
Every time you raise one, the demand goes up.
In addition, considering the achievement level, it is said that the only stat that can be raised in the first act is only 1.
Well, if I accumulate a lot of survival points and put 10 in intelligence, she will have a level of intelligence that surpasses a torture wizard like Rowan overnight. It doesn’t make sense realistically.
[Notice – There is a limit to the status that can be raised with survival points. ]
It’s like telling me sooner.
He sighed deeply.
I cried and ate mustard, and with the remaining 2 points, I raised my Luck status by 1.
It wasn’t such an important stat, but there was nothing wrong with not having it.
After finishing all the work, I left my body on the backrest.
We were supposed to be there within an hour to the venue. It was a mission to escort Lyncia, but there was no need to pay attention.
Anyway, on the way to the meeting place, there is no such thing as an attack by them. I’d rather be calm. Because it was in the game.
The problem is not the road to the conference room, but the competition that takes place inside the conference room.
And above all else, be vigilant.
I looked sideways at the maid sitting next to Lincia. When their eyes met, the lady-in-waiting turned her head away.
It was a cold attitude, but there was no ulterior motive in it.
But now, for me, that woman was my number one priority.

Dead End, the maid of honor, Melina.
I even remember exactly how many endings it was. It must have been 12 times.
Because it was such a shocking ending.
Middle of Act 1. Tea recommended as usual by the lady-in-waiting who was friendly from the start. Lynchia accepts the tea and drinks it without hesitation.
And Lynchia vomits blood and collapses to death.
The cause of death is poisoning.
It was also poisoned by the maid who took care of her for a long time like her mother.
As an ending that gives a taste of fire in Raising the Empress, which was spicy from the beginning, it made many players dumbfounded.
The reason was not explained, so the ending was more absurd.
“Why do you keep watching?”
“it’s nothing.”
He took his gaze away from Melina.
Now, I didn’t see anything like that.
But one day Melina will try to kill Lyncia. That much was definite.
Besides that, there will be many dead ends.
keep your mind straight
I sighed inwardly.

Lynthia Ayrn was currently quite uncomfortable.
She was being dragged to the conference room like a chess piece. I was dissatisfied with the treatment that was treated like an object.
But it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand. Because Lynchia could have been the last Empress. From the Empire’s point of view, you’ll want to protect it thoroughly.
That wasn’t what Lynchia was uncomfortable with.
More fundamentally, she felt a considerable sense of betrayal towards the knight Fried in front of her.
‘He looked so upright, but he was the world’s bad guy.’
Whether or not he knew what Lincia was thinking, Fried was staring blankly at just one point in front of his eyes.
Lincia shook her head and caught the scenery of the imperial palace passing by outside the window.
‘… … Sir Fried’s nickname is mad dog?’
After the day Melina told me about Fried’s reputation.
Lyncia was furious and received a report about Freed through Melina.
‘Well, this time it was training, so they took a soldier and beat them.’
It’s not spying, it’s just rumor.
However, for Lynthia, who was at the top of the spire, there was no choice but to accept it as it was.
Even so, the reason he invited Fried to be his escort knight was because he was the only person he could trust, even if his reputation was put aside.
Regardless of the evaluation, didn’t Fried sacrifice his life on National Foundation Day to save himself?
I was feeling grateful for that, and I was thinking of expressing my gratitude again.
‘Rumor has it that he seduced the same Guardian Knight, Sir Milia, and made love in his room. You know what it means to share that love?’
… … I was thinking of telling you.
‘ah… … I know! That, isn’t that it?’
‘yes that’s right. That’s it. That~ thing.’
The face of Melina, who smiled at Lyncia, who was taken out in embarrassment, is right in front of her eyes.
Lynchia clenched her fists and trembled.
to share love.

Didn’t you go into your father’s library when you were little?
I hadn’t personally witnessed it, though.
However, it is well explained with pictures.
It’s so obscene that I want to cover my eyes, and it’s nasty again.
Sir Fried… … .
‘that… … .
“You unscrupulous!”
Unable to think of anything else, Lyncia gave up her thoughts and shouted.
And it was a pity.
“ah…….”
It was because the coachman, including Melina, the guards guarding the carriage, and even Fried were looking at her with eyes that did not understand why.
Lynchia wanted to hide in a rat hole.
“Did you have any problems?”
In the meantime, Fried, this bastard, was casually worrying about Lynthia.
“……No, that’s it. It’s nothing.”
I’m sure he’s a bad guy
He looked so chivalrous, and even wearing armor was dignified.
More than anything, there is kindness in each and every word you ask for.
Lyncia, unable to even answer, lowered her head to hide her blushing face.
“…”
Seeing that girlish appearance, Melina put on an expression as if she had lost everything in the world.
