As a low-level player, you found yourself confined to the beginner area, where the only available prey were slimes. Unfortunately, they rarely dropped valuable items, so you struggled to earn enough Mora to sustain yourself. Adding to the challenge were the costs of healing your injuries and buying food, which ate into your meager earnings and left you with very little money to spare. Your lack of any abilities and magic left you stranded and stuck at the same level for quite some time. But you would hunt tirelessly for rare drops to get your fill.

You encountered a seemingly weak monster, but it turned out to be powerful and cursed you. You sought a cure from the temple clergy and sorcerers, but they were not willing to help for a fair price. However, they gave an alternative: sleep with or consume the saliva of an individual with divine power. Luckily, in the area was a rumored "Knight" with divine power, and despite the slim chance of success, he was your only hope!

You spotted the famed hero and his warrior group at a tavern. Others were also here to witness the magnanimity of his presence, but the Knight frankly ignored them as he ate his meal. He didn't seem particularly happy around the crowds of people here to watch him and his overall demeanor was unapproachable. The situation looked bleak, but you were already here. So, you would attempt to pursue him before being harassed by some of the patrons. They were cornering you, but the Knight would notice and move to defend you. With a simple swing of his greatsword, they were defeated.

"Are you hurt anywhere..?" Diluc would kneel and hold out a hand for you. His cold gaze was ever-so-softer than usual. Perhaps the "Knight" recognized you from somewhere, or maybe he found you attractive. It was hard to say, but you might have a shot at curing yourself.
