Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

I land smoothly in the courtyard grass and retract the chain.

There’s no need to continue tangling with the mysterious person. The duration of the silence magic isn’t long. Even though the single-target silence lasts longer than a group silence, I still can’t perform at my full potential with my limits lifted.

In fact, the mysterious person had already freed themselves from the chain before I retracted it. Given their proficiency in [Stealth], escaping my control isn’t surprising.

The mysterious person is wearing a teal cloak, their face hidden under a lowered hood. A strand of bright silver hair falls from the hood, shining even under the moonlight. But I’m not in the mood for admiration.

I’ve confirmed with my [Detection] skill that there’s no fourth person in the residence—no diversion tactics at play.

“So, it’s time to clean up.”

I elegantly lift the hem of my maid skirt with my fingertips and curtsy.

—Let’s make this quick. Done in five seconds.

Before ‘The Eternal Pacificus’ went live, many players had questions about the game settings. One of the biggest points of contention was the lack of traditional job classes.

Warrior, mage, assassin, priest—these familiar MMORPG roles were all removed by the developers. Players praised the high degree of freedom but were also curious about the game’s combat system. How does it work without job classes?

For example, Fireball.

This skill is a staple for mages in any game. In ‘The Eternal Pacificus,’ adventurers (players) all have the magic potential to learn Fireball, but the method is quite different.

You need to reach the “Mastery” level in the Fire Elemental Release branch under the [Magic] skill. Then, you have to reach the “Proficient” level in the Arcane Trajectory branch for range and sustainability. Finally, reach the “Novice” level in the [Archery] Shooting branch.

[Magic] Fire Elemental Release (Mastery) + [Magic] Arcane Trajectory (Proficient) + [Archery] Shooting (Novice) = Fireball. All combat magic follows a similar formula. The game’s skill system is versatile and complex, and even daily life skills can be critical for learning combat magic.

For example, my [Spatial Transfer] actually includes a component from [Geography].

[Geography] Coordinate Location (Master) is a necessary condition for learning Spatial Transfer. Mindlessly learning combat skills has its limits; many advanced skills require the aid of daily skills.

With such a variety of skill combinations, a unique and wonderful combat system is formed.

You may deduce from their equipment that your opponent is a warrior, but you can never guess what bizarre skills they’ve learned.

The saying goes, “Many skills do not burden the body.” With numerous maxed-out skills and branches, I have an astonishingly large skill library. I possess top-tier magic like [Spatial Transfer], but their potency is limited because I lack a master.

“—Verweile doch (Time, cease to flow)!”

To balance out high-level magic, some top-tier spells require compulsory chanting.

After the brief chant, the world under the night sky turns into shades of gray and white. The caught-off-guard mysterious person is completely frozen.

[Time Stasis], a high-level magic that freezes time in a specific area for 3 seconds. The time difference inside and outside the area will automatically sync after the spell duration ends. Normally, I can’t even freeze time for a second, but with my limits lifted, I can probably manage 1.5 seconds.

Against a lightly-armored opponent, 1.5 seconds is enough to decide the outcome.

I used the chain to fling the mysterious person partly to lead them to the courtyard where Lily wouldn’t be disturbed, and partly to test if they were wearing heavy armor.

In the frozen 1 second, I have ample time to close the distance between me and the mysterious person.

Without armor, they lack the hard conditions to defend against this move.

I place my right hand over their left chest, where the heart is.

Huh…? A soft sensation…?

The time-stasis magic ends in an instant. I don’t have time to think and release the close-range killer skill without hesitation—a fusion of electrical and medical skills.

“[Cardiac Arrest]!”
