If Jekko were here in the reception room, he would probably have a lot to talk about with Finn Rayne. After all, back then, Jekko had been just as baffled—how exactly had he been exposed? And now, Finn Rayne was just as lost. This branch leader of the Mage Association was undeniably a talented administrator—otherwise,…

Even if Finn Rayne had originally planned to act like a bandit, he had no choice now but to keep up a gentlemanly appearance. Smiling, he began, “I understand that the ring is now in your hands, Count. For someone learning magic, that ring doesn’t hold much value. Now that you’ve awakened the Light Seed,…

After Eagle finished speaking, the room fell silent. Pei Sen was genuinely shocked. Eagle had never discussed this issue with him beforehand—apart from a brief kiss when they parted ways, and that incident in the bathroom… there had never been any real intimacy between them! Even though plenty of people had misunderstood the nature of…

Pei Sen felt like he couldn’t breathe. The temperature in the bathroom was already high, and now Eagle had him pinned between the wall and his still-wet body. The hand that had been braced on the wall was now against Pei Sen’s neck, burning hot against his skin and making the heat even more unbearable.…

In truth, it wasn’t easy at all for Pei Sen to dig this piece of information out of his memory. Back then, there were only a handful of famous NPCs running around, and they were all extremely dangerous. Of course, there were fearless players who tried to get close to them. But most NPCs capable…

At first, talk of Pei Sen and Eagle’s “relationship” was just a small niche of female players wildly speculating on the forums.

Especially after Pei Sen left the battlefield to rush to the capital and rescue Eagle—even male players started teasing, “This has…

In fact, even while Pei Sen was traveling with a group of players, he hadn’t given up on seeking the lich’s legacy to complete his special class advancement. He wasn’t particularly worried about other players triggering similar hidden quests either. If special classes were so easy to unlock, there wouldn’t still be only a handful…

Compared to Atwell’s side, the elder cleric and this group of paladins clearly hadn’t come with good intentions. Pei Sen had already formed a poor impression of the elder cleric back in the Esmia royal palace. He looked at Atwell with a mocking expression. See? Just earlier, Atwell had claimed, “The church would never do…

“Pei Sen, what’s wrong with you?” Eagle asked with concern. Pei Sen really didn’t want to embarrass himself. Was he supposed to admit that he just threw up from watching a particularly gory battle between a player and a native?Come on, the fights players had participated in before were far worse than today’s little skirmish…

You couldn’t really blame the players for being so moved—after all, the period they had just endured had been downright miserable. It was the first time they had experienced such hardship just trying to survive in a game. If this were any ordinary game, with such harsh conditions, they would’ve been discouraged long ago. But……
