Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
I am Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace! On this very day, after completing my incredibly short Epic Quest, I am now in Some Town Tavern where I watch as Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow Reclassifies into an S-Rank Deadly-Eye Mummy! She's my Mummy, by the way, in the maternal sense.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace does seem more assertive than is the norm on this day. Do I not get an opportunity for a momentous introduction to announce my name and my Big-Ass Sword?
Typical Bespectacled Mage
With Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow here, no. Mummy's renown overshadows the fame any of us have. The fact that she was part of the party that recently defeated the Dungeon Boss Horror Beyond Your Imagination in the Battle-Scarred Land where Heavenly Blue-Flamed Sword Saint Cleaved the Earthed Nightmare with his Lordly Berserker Blade certainly adds to her name.

I am Taciturn Female Healer! I'm a classed as a Thief!

Mummy, now that you've Reclassified into an S-Rank Deadly-Eye Mummy, will you be adventuring with a lower-Level group until you've built up a few Levels?
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
That would seem to be the best course of development to take. Having completed Reclassification, I am now of Level 1 and must earn my Levels and Stats again.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
So... may I join you?
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
My child, that may not be a wise decision.
Taciturn Female Healer
I think Mummy may be right about that.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Mummy, think of it as mother-daughter bonding time.
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
Perhaps just for one day. However, my child, you should find your own way in life.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Yes, fast-track to higher Levels, here I come!
Typical Bespectacled Mage
She's going to be so disappointed.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Are you three sure you don't want to join me and Mummy?
Typical Bespectacled Mage
That's all right. We'll just attempt a Quest on Taciturn Female Healer's list.
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
May I peruse that list?
Taciturn Female Healer
Sure, I'll mail it to your smartphone. What's your contact?
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
It is as shown on this device.
Taciturn Female Healer
Wow, I've the contact of Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow! Fangirl mode, on!
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
Perusing this list, I think it best to attempt these five Quests.
Typical Bespectacled Mage
Two of the Quests she selected are the toughest on that list!
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
That means more Experience and loot! Are you three still sure you don't want to come along?

I am now with Mummy on the first Quest. Our Quest is to eliminate three Goblins with Levels around mine! Let's see, Mummy can take two and I...
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
Multi-Shot. This Quest is done. Shall we advance to the next?
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Mummy shot a wave of arrows that defeated all three Goblins. You're Level 1, Mummy! Why are your shots so powerful?
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
I was indeed a Level 1 S-Rank Deadly-Eye Mummy with equipment that befits an Epic-Class character.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
I wish I had Epic-level equipment too.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Okay, we're at the second Quest. We're to eliminate lots of low-Level Common Poisonous Snakes. They're not worth much Experience each but because of their numbers, it'll still take some time, even with Multi-Shot.
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
Exploding Arrow. This Quest is done. Shall we advance to the next?
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
... Damn it, the explosion blew away all the Common Poisonous Snakes!

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
The third Quest. The target this time's a Greater Forest Giant, an Advanced-Class monster at a Level greater than mine. It should be able to take a few hits, which gives me plenty of chances to...
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
Arrow Fusion. Homing Arrow and Penetrating Shot.
This Quest is done. Shall we advance to the next?
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
What was that!? Your arrow just repeatedly stabbed through the Greater Forest Giant! What's this Arrow Fusion?
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
It is a Skill that allows me to combine different arrow Skills. The first of such Skills are only available to certain Prestige Classes.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
It's going to be forever before I can do that at this rate.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
We've been spending more time traveling than fighting.
Now we're at the fourth Quest and we're up against a whole Goblin Assault Team. Can Mummy really finish them all with one attack?
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
Arrow Fusion. Rain of Arrows and Exploding Shot.
This Quest is done. Shall we advance to the last?
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
... Wave after wave of explosives fell from above... Arrow Fusion is overpowered.
***
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Okay, the last Quest. We've to defend this farmhouse from approaching Greater Treants. They are Advanced-Class monsters with Levels so high up I would not dare to approach them!
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
Arrow Fusion. Multi-shot, Exploding Arrow, Penetrating Shot and Homing Arrow.
This Quest is done. Shall we return to That Other Town?
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
... You can combine four types of arrows?
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow
With several Skills of Arrow Fusion, it certainly is possible.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
What a massacre! Epic Classes are scary!
