“We have won!”
“We have conquered the entire gaming world!”
“The final battle—Destruction Dragon VS Three-headed Octopus!”
“Uncovering truths you don’t know—An in-depth analysis of the identity of the Destruction Dragon!”
…
In a cheap apartment, NoFussFish kept himself busy surfing on the forum after the great war.
A large number of posts were scanned rather quickly, some were really funny.
For instance, was the Destruction Dragon a human, or an alien! -Though the Charles incident was broadcasted, due to the censorship and propaganda afterward, there were still some players who only knew that the Destruction Dragon had once showed up in real life, battling with a character who seemed to be the Lord God.
In fact, even after watching some secret videos, NoFussFish didn’t quite believe the claims made in them.
How powerful could the Lord God be? Could it be a Guni man?
And yet, considering these stuff was pointless.
With the once-in-a-millennium opportunity brought about by the expansion of the Lord God’s game, what he needed to do was to constantly upgrade his professional rank, benefit from the game and become a Transcendent in the real world at the same time!
Just as NoFussFish was contemplating his future, a post drew his attention:
“Breaking news! The Lord God’s game is about to shut down?”
The title was so startling that he couldn’t help but click in.
“Our world is divided into two sides of one coin… One side is bright and scientific, the other side is dark and mysterious…”
The introductory part of the post explained the concepts of ‘Outer World’ and ‘Inner World”, the origin of the Beasts of the Inner World, and the significance of the Lord God’s game.
“It is written as if it is true. If it is indeed true, then we Players have saved the world…they should give me a one-ton medal…”,
NoFussFish thought with a chuckle, but when he discovered that this post was pinned on all forums and was not deleted, his face became serious.
“It couldn’t be… are they really shutting down the servers? I haven’t had enough of this game!”
With that thought, he quickly logged into the Lord God’s game.
Within the main city.
The conscious body of NoFussFish emerged, and at the same time, a light curtain also appeared in front of him:
“Dear Player, we’re sorry but this game is about to close… All players are given two options. The first one, delete the account and return to the real world. The second one, give up your physical body in the real world and become a true Player, living in the Inner World forever!”
In the square, many players stood like statues. Some were freaking out and cursing the Lord God in lurid language – they were quickly forced offline and banned forever.
“It’s true… the game is really shutting down.”
NoFussFish felt a bitter taste in his mouth, he was dumbstruck for a while.
Too bad for him, though he was stunned, there was a countdown on the light curtain. Roughly the duration of a Guni Star rotation, he needed to make a decision.
“What… What should I do?”
The moment NoFussFish found out he could choose before the final moment, he logged out immediately and began madly scanning through all the forums.
The complaints of many players gathered into an outcry.
There were even calls for all the top players to band together to wage a ‘War against the God of the Game’.
Pity that, those suggestions ended up in nothing.
In contrast, there were pinned posts on each of the forums, elaborating on the concepts and significance of the ‘Watcher’, the convincing tone was self-evident.”
“What should I do? What should I do?”
“I’m reluctant to give up the life of technology…”
“But that’s the world where real Transcendent power exists!”
…
NoFussFish was in torment all night.
In the last ten minutes before the decisive moment came, he logged into the Lord God’s game, staring at the light curtain in front of him, lost in thought.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
Every second was passing.
At the very last moment just before the countdown hit zero, NoFussFish clenched his teeth and made up his mind: “I want to stay here, as a Watcher!”
This was his decision after careful consideration.
After all, he grew up in an orphanage, was solitary, didn’t have many friends, there was nothing much to hold him back in the real world.
Inside his heart, there was curiosity and love for the Inner World.”
If it weren’t for the Lord God’s expansion, he might never have had a taste of this Alien World.
Now that he’s got the chance, he didn’t want to let go!
At the same time, majority of the players chose to return to the world of technology.
After all, the comfort of a modern lifestyle was much more peaceful and steady compared to the primitive, bloody life in the Inner World.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
With everyone’s eyes on it, the time on the light curtain finally ticked down to zero.
Boom!
The world seemed to tremble slightly, a large number of players turned into nothingness, and were forcibly ejected.
“Ah!”
NoFussFish screamed, clutching his head, feeling like he had lost something extremely important.
At this moment, more than 90% of the players in the main city vanished.
The solid walls of the city collapsed into dust, Mental Secret Realms emerged, swiftly merging with the conscious body.
This main city and the Players were originally created by the ‘Kingdom of Dreams’, and now they were being restored by Su Lu.
Screaming earlier, NoFussFish now found himself somewhat astonished, realizing that he seemed to have gained something else.
He barely suppressed the pain, stood up and looked at the scattered crowd around him.
Most of these people were filled with uncertainty about the future and didn’t know what to do.
Just then, a Priest descended.
He hovered in mid-air, speaking loudly: “My Watcher brothers, let me introduce myself first. My name is Doran, from the church of the God of the Game… The darkness of the Inner World might have been eliminated, but a resurgence is always possible, which requires us Watchers to remain here and defend hope!”
“Defend…Defend hope!”
NoFussFish clenched his fists, feeling that there was another layer of meaning to his life.
…
“The final number of Players left is around thirteen million…”
Upon the cloud, Su Lu, holding the ‘Kingdom of Dreams’, was slightly surprised: “Just the Players who chose to stay voluntarily number in the millions… Eccentrics really can be found everywhere.”
Looking back at the majestic palace, he felt a bit disappointed and regretful: “Initially I thought… those top Players and large forces outside would band together and launch a ‘War against God’, how come they peacefully accepted it? It’s really boring…”
The truth was, if those top Players knew, they would definitely curse.
They had experienced the difficulty of dealing with the Destruction Dragon a lot of times.
And Destruction Dragon plus the Lord God, that was essentially more difficult than Hell itself.”
They had already been abused so many times, were they supposed to go looking for abuse again?
“Then… I guess it’s time for me to leave.”
Su Lu took one last look and saw that Luo Fei, in the Priest’s outfit, was standing outside the palace, seemingly seeing him off.
He waved his hand, a bundle of multicolored light wrapped around his body, completely vanished.
