The once-skeptical players began to shift their perspectives, a wave of belief washing over them.
"Is this really possible?" William thought, a touch of misery settling in. He remembered his own rough start in the game, but thankfully, he had Little Red Riding Hood by his side; a quirky little witch who had become his angel investor of sorts.
As he scrolled through the forum, he spotted a level 2 player named Yaoyao desperately asking if anyone could help her level up. The other players quickly vanished, unwilling to carry extra weight on their journey. William shrugged it off, continuing to read.
He soon saw a player boasting about reaching level 6, prompting a flurry of excited questions from the crowd. William tilted his head, noticing a lack of level 7 players. Curious, he chimed in, "I'm level 8."
An eerie silence followed his declaration before the forum erupted.
"What?! No way!"
"Is this for real?"
"Stop joking around!"
