A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

On the other side of the battlefield, the ones in the village are on the verge of falling. Berserk goblins knocked endlessly against the shield wall. 

"Young guardian, it's not the right time to take a break. Fire those arrows like your life depends on it." Elder Jin drew back his bowstring once more. 

As long as he has the strength to pull the bowstring and launch arrows. He will do his job without a break until the walls of the village collapse.   

"Yes!!" A woman in her mid-20s responded as she nocked an arrow once more.  As soon as she pierces an enemy with an arrow, she fires a new arrow. Her desire to survive longer pushes her to do her best and fight as long as possible. 

She doesn't know why she's trying so hard on a game's tutorial. She doesn't even care that an NPC is scolding her. But seeing everyone in high spirit has affected her. She has forgotten the mask she wears in the real world as she feels that nothing is restraining her here.

"Elder Jin!! Everyone is running short of their mana to cast spells!!" A player in the magic division reported. 

"Our division is also running out of mana to produce more arrows!!" A player in the archer's division relayed.

"Our mana is running low to produce more bullets!!" 

Each of the division leaders relayed the situation to Elder Jin. 

Elder Jin's hands keep on pulling his bowstring while thinking of a solution to their current predicament. 

The mana problem will become a huge dilemma if their main force loses the capability to attack. Their frontline won't be able to hold off the goblins onslaught without the fire support of the backline. 

Mana is used in a lot of things in the universe. New guardians like them can produce regular arrows at the cost of 2 mana for each shot. Bullets need 3 mana for each shot because its power. While magics have a minimum of 10 mana for each cast for low level magic and even greater for high-level magic. 

While the mana regeneration of new guardians will be at 1 per second. However, suppose they leveled up and increased their wisdom stats. In that case, the mana regeneration will increase to .2 mana per second for every 1 wisdom added. Without mana, their frontline will be a sitting duck without any protection.

After a couple of seconds of pondering, Elder Jin remembered an important in the village. 

"You!!" Elder Jin pointed to a young village guard.

"Yes, chief!?" 

"I want you to go to Lili's house in the southeast corner of the village. After you entered the house, there should be a table in the center. Move it, and you will see a hidden door towards their basement." 

"Chief, why do you know this!?" The young villager stared at him with suspicion. 

"Stop asking!! Our village is in danger!!" Elder Jin shouted at the young villager for not taking the direness of the situation. 

"Sorry, chief..." The young villager faced the ground. 

"Anyway, after you enter their hidden basement, you will see hundreds of mana potions concocted by the village's potion maker. Take all of it and bring it here." 

"Yes, Chief!!" The young man ran with haste. 

"You and you follow him, take all of the potions you can find there, and bring it here. Your inventory will help us greatly." Elder Jin pointed to 2 mage guardians that were recuperating their mana in the side. Inventory is one of the things that the natives of this world are deprived of. A gift from God that anyone will wish they'd have. 

"Hopefully, I won't go bankrupt after stealing her potions..." He mumbled as he nocked the arrow on his bow once more. 

"It's for the village she will understand... She will understand... Hopefully..." Elder Jin kept on mumbling as he reassured his self. It was her life and death creations. He is prepared to exchange his life for stealing her without permission. As long as his village survives, nothing else matters.

He knows that Lili's mother crafts potions endlessly when her husband perished, and she values it greatly. 

When he visited her, he saw how she crafted potion her potions once. And it was crazy how she could craft a potion with her current state. Her eyes are devoid of life while she stares at the void. Yet her hands are skillfully moving to brew the potions. When he tried to touch the potion to check its quality, he was beaten to a pulp as if he didn't know him. 

"I want everyone to use their mana sparingly until the supply of mana potions arrive. And I need someone to tell commander Akkar that they need to retreat to the backline for now to recuperate." Elder Jin ordered as he shot an arrow at a goblin that was about to attack Akkar's side. His strategy to run around the battlefield is effective. However, without the magic division's attack to create a space for them to retreat. The melee fighters will be defenseless and can quickly be surrounded. 

"I'll call him!!" A woman with silky long black hair and dark blue eyes exclaimed. While casting healing magic to the village guards on the frontline with her cross pendant entwined on her hands.

"Please, thanks." Elder Jin bowed his head to the woman. 

The roars of Akkar echoed throughout the battlefield as he led the melee fighters. 

"FACE YOUR NORTHWEST IN 3!!!!!!!!" 

"2!!!!!!!" 

"1!!!!!!!"

"GOOOOOOOO"

"PUSHHHHH!!! PUSH ALL THE WAY IN!!!! 

"DELETE THEIR NORTHWEST!!!! NORTHWEST!!!! F*CK THESE MOTHERF*CKERS!!!!!" 

Everyone brandished their weapons as they broke through all the obstacles in their way. Goblin heads flew through the sky, and light particles scattered across the battlefield.

"Orahhhh!!" Akkar roared and swung his great ax. The goblins standing in his way were split apart. But just as he was about to swing his ax once more. A gentle yet seductive voice echoed through his ears. 

"You need to retreat. The backline is running out of mana, and the magic division can no longer support you further." The woman reported to Akkar through the call they've been doing all this time. From the start of the battle, she's been giving reports to Akkar on what she sees around her. Offering some suggestions through the call. 

"Got it, thanks, Elise." 

"WE ARE RETREATING, BOYS AND GIRLS!!!" 

'GO TO SOUTH NOW!!!" 

"SOUTHHHHHHHH!!"

"DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND!!
