1. How to progress in the game

Alisa’s brother was just killed. The enemy is unimaginably strong for a 15 year-old girl. Will Alisa really be able to find La Shiec and get revenge?

For our readers, various endings have been prepared in this book. Therefore, the chances of reaching a happy ending is quite low. Most people will probably get by defeated by monsters, and the story will end without completing the quest.

2. How to use the Action Chart

While progressing through the game, Alisa’s points and requirements will change continuously during her adventures. When this happens, please notate these changes in your Action Chart.

■ Battle Points (BATTLE P)

At the beginning of the game, pick out numbers to fill in for the Battle Point Table. These points are used for two things: fighting against enemies and trying your luck.

Row 1 is for Alisa, Row 2 for Enemies. In each row, fill out random numbers from 0-9On page 282, there is a BATTLE P table with two rows containing columns from A to J. In each of these rows, enter in any number between 0 and 9. It doesn’t matter if they are sequential or non-sequential numbers, however please do not use the same number more than once per row. The first row will be used as the enemy’s BATTLE P and the second will be Alisa and party’s BATTLE P. A more detailed explanation on how to use Battle Points can be found in the “How to Do Battle” section.

■ Alisa & Party’s Points (Each point has no limit)

  • Combat Points (COMBAT P)

Alisa and party’s combat strength. In the beginning of the game, your combat strength is 0. As you acquire weapons and defeat enemies, you gain points. When you are wounded, you will lose points.

  • Hit Points (HP)

Alisa and party’s stamina. In the beginning of the game, your stamina is 10. Stamina will increase with healing medicines (like Perolymate and Ruoginin) and by visiting the hospital. When attacked by enemies, stamina will decrease.

  • Magic Points (MAGIC P)

Alisa and party’s magic power (supernatural abilities; ESP). In the beginning of the game, your magic power is 0. When you defeat enemies, your points will increase (there are times it won’t). When you use magic, your points will decrease.
* Please note, the required points for casting magic and the points consumed are different. Please follow the instructions in the text.

  • Money (MESETA)

In the Algol solar system, the currency is called Meseta. At the beginning you have 0 MESETA. Most enemies carry treasure chests, and if you win the battle you can find money in those.

■ Item List

During her journey, Alisa will come into possession of weapons and other items.This can be by buying, trading, or by winning in battle. When obtaining something, please write it down in the Item List.

■ A–J Alphabet Checklist

During the game, you will occasionally run into text that says “Check A”, “Check B”, etc. There is a table for helping you to keep track of the Alphabet Checks, ranging from A to J. In such an event, please check the appropriate box in the Alphabet Checklist. Because many such occasions are very important, please do not forget this.

■ Regarding Hospitals

For the sake of treating injuries suffered during travels, several cities have a hospital. It is only possible to visit the Hospital if “(Hospital treatment is available)” is written. To go or not to go is your choice. If you decide to go, please follow the instructions in the book. Also, if it is written that you pay 10 MESETA to add 2 HP, then you may not pay 20 MESETA to add 4 HP.

3. How to do Battle

First determine the adversary’s strength. Adding the opposing character’s points to its BATTLE P (specified each battle) yields this value. Subsequently, determine Alisa’s strength. Add her COMBAT P to her BATTLE P.
Let’s practice!

ac_exampleSharkin: 5 + BATTLE P (1A) – In this case, please look in the Battle Point Table for the figure in row 1, column A. Suppose that it says 3, yielding 5 + 3 = 8. The Sharkin’s strength is then 8.

Alisa: COMBAT P + BATTLE P (2F) – At this point, please find Alisa’s COMBAT P. Add that number to the figure in row 2, column F of the Battle Point Table. Let us say that we come up with 4 + 5 = 9.

8 versus 9 means victory for Alisa. This basically means “Higher P than the enemy”. In case it is a draw, please shift both parties BATTLE P one step. A becomes B, F become G, and so on. Furthermore, please note that J should become A.

■ Since you will fill in and erase the forms many times, please use a pencil. Also, it might be easier to use a notebook for note taking rather than writing directly into the book.
