[You've been urgently disconnected, please choose whether to reconnect.]
"Yes."

[Connection established, character information loading]
[Welcome back, righteous Mor, soon you will be loaded into the World of Innocence, good night.]
When Motan finally got his bearings, he found out that he wasn't rudely spawn in any wild areas by the system, but quite comfortably lying on a clean and soft bed, surrounded by a faint scent.
Of course, it wasn't like he had accidentally entered some unmarried lady's boudoir. Although such clichéd scenarios frequently appear in novels, animations, and countless movies and TV shows, polluting the intelligence of the audience, they certainly do not occur in the World of Innocence and Four-way Split (strike-through), rest assured everyone.
"Seems like this isn't the battlefield from before." Motan sat up and surveyed the room, muttering to himself, "Disconnected just like that, huh. Good thing no one noticed at the time, otherwise who knows what could've happened..."
Here's what happened. Not long ago, after Motan and Double Leaf agreed on something in public, he logged off before she could react, then with great effort, forcibly switched between personalities to log in as Hei Fan.
After all, though he was 90% confident that Double Leaf wouldn't suspect him anymore, he didn't want to take any extra risks. If Double Leaf were to log in right after their interaction and find that Hei Fan isn't online, she may remain vigilant.
So Motan planned to quickly re-login and return to the camp. If she were to receive a message from Double Leaf, he would respond instantly, which should put her at ease.
In this game, players can't see if their friends are online. If they want to know if someone is playing, they have to either meet face-to-face or confirm over message.
But Motan overthought this. After receiving a friend request from Tan Mo, Double Leaf totally dismissed her previous doubts, thinking she was overthinking. She was focused on 'Black,' who she had just met and hasn't logged in since.
Motan's theory — that he was distracted by a sudden influx of false information online and conducted some light investigation — had no logical flaws. Consequently, Double Leaf believed the cascade of events that followed had nothing to do with the priest she met in the game.
At least for now, he had control.
Of course, whatever Double Leaf thinks doesn't matter anymore...
Everyone knows that one wrong step will lead to a series of mistakes.
After briefly checking the camp, Motan sent a message to Double Leaf. The main content was about how charging the Magic Crystal Lamp was boring, and shared some insights on Magic Power and Faith Perception. He greeted Ned and left the camp to check if the church had any skills he could learn after confirming she's not online.
However, he fell ill on the road.
So, he lost the connection...
After re-logging the game, the righteous Mor made a brilliant entrance~
That was roughly what happened.
However, this is a good thing for Motan (for now) because he was quite concerned about what happened to the Elf Caravan and the Dragon mercenaries who were their escorts.
But the first half of the sentence was superfluous, as no matter which personality logged in the game, the character matching the current character would undoubtedly be his favorite.
See, psychopaths are so happy~~
"Since I ended up here, it must be 'reasonable', so at least for now, I don't have to worry about danger." Motan didn't immediately leave. Instead, he sat on the bed, resting his chin on his hand and pondering. After all, two days had passed. If those he fought side-by-side with had run into trouble, rushing a few minutes wouldn't help. If everyone was safe, there was no need to hurry.
Even though he was righteous, kind, and responsible, the 'righteous' Mor wasn't the type who was honest and didn't like to think. Personality doesn't impact intelligence, so he didn't rush to act, even thinking that maybe the answer would suddenly appear soon...
Motan is now thinking about another matter.
A matter that's essential from every perspective.
I'm too weak!
'I' here refers to the actual Motan, regardless of the character...
Forget about comparing him with NPCs, even among players, Motan was relatively weak. Not that he didn't play well or lacked talent. On the contrary, the characters representing each personality were full of potential, but…
They lacked time!
Others played a single character from 7 pm to 7 am, totally 24 hours of game time (yep, the real world to game world time ratio is 1:2), while Motan had less than a third of that on average. It greatly affects his ability to undertake missions or level up. He didn't even need to give an example.
