"Jane, Jane, wake up!"
"Huh?"
Jane woke up on a soft fluffy bed.
She rubbed her heavy eyes when she could vaguely see someone's silhouette.
The silhouette's voice sound very soft and affectionate.
Although Jane knew that this was the first time she had heard the voice, she somehow felt a feeling of nostalgia when she heard it.
When Jane was finally able to see clearly and was free from her drowsiness, the figure of a handsome man with blonde hair and pointed ears typical of elves appeared in front of her.
Jane was still a little sleepy, so she could only stare at with a puzzled look.
However, at that moment, the man smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Good morning."
"-!!"
Jane was stunned.
What?
What just happened?
Her brain failed to understand the reason or meaning behind this man's actions.
In the midst of her confusion, she finally remembers that she is currently inside the DOL and is playing one of her characters.
"AAAAAHHHH!!!"
"J-Jane? What's wrong?"
Jane shouted.
She had a bad feeling about this.
Then, the game system screen appears in front of her.
[Character Backstory: You are the daughter of an ordinary elf family, but you received the blessing of the Goddess of Nature when you were born. The Elven King and Queen are aware of your existence and choose to adopt you as their daughter. You grew up without knowing your biological mother and father and lived a focused life on guarding the World Tree just like what the Elven Princess and Prince did. However, even so, the elven nobles were still debating your lack of relationship with the Elven royal family. As a result, you are also matched with one of the princes. You are is a concubine of 5th Elven Prince, Alyvard Emereen.]
This was the worst possibility that Lena could not even imagine would happen to him life in his worst dreams.
Just after waking up from her sleep, Jane, Jane Emereen, right in front of her fiancée, falls out of bed and loses consciousness.
***
Jane's loss of consciousness and the screams she let out before it happened caught the attention of many people in the palace.
In addition, Jane loses consciousness right in front of Alyvard, her fiancée, which makes the matter even bigger.
Various speculations began to appear in the minds of the elves.
One of the questions is...
"Could it be that you forced Jane to do something against her will, Alyvard?"
Alyvard was summoned to the royal family's study room.
Bookshelves hundreds of meters high decorate the room built in the empty space at the root of the World Tree.
In the middle of the room, a silver-haired, elegantly dressed elven man was sitting and reading a book when he asked Alyvard about it.
Alyvard, of course, denied it.
"There's no way I could do such a thing, Father! Besides, hasn't it been common knowledge that Jane and I love each other? Even if I really try to do it..."
Alyvard's father, the Elf King, Chyscrand Emereen, deliberately coughed to stop what Alyvard was about to say.
Alyvard realizes how vurgar the way he spoke and immediately apologizes.
"I'll be careful in choosing my words next time, Father."
Chyscrand nodded in satisfaction at Alyvard's words.
"I know you well, Alyvard. Before the wedding takes place, I know you won't violate the boundaries of the relationship. However..."
Chyscrand looked at Alyvard.
"You really have to clear up the misconceptions that are circulating. Otherwise, your reputation and Jane's purity will begin to be questioned. Jane is someone who receives the blessings of Goddess Grassia. Such a figure should not be allowed to be tarnished by such rumors!"
"I'll try my best to fulfill your expectations, Father!"
Alyvard understood what his father meant.
However, in his heart, he wondered.
Why does Jane scream?
***
Jane woke up once again in her room.
This time it wasn't Alyvard who greeted her, but a very beautiful elven woman with silver-colored hair and a few servants.
The woman immediately hugged Jane when Jane woke up.
"Jane! Thank goodness you're fine! I'm very worried about you."
Despite having very complicated feelings about all of this, Jane chose to play it safe and accept the woman's embrace.
"I-I'm fine..."
She immediately realized how feminine her voice was after she actually spoke.
Damn, this is really a woman!
Irony.
Lena felt a bitter irony.
The woman released Jane from her arms after hearing Jane's reply.
She looked at Jane with a worried look.
"What happened? Did Alyvard do something evil to you?"
"Ah... Um..."
"There is no need to hesitate. Just tell what happened to me! I'll definitely be on your side!"
Jane was at a loss for what to say in a situation like this.
She desperately wanted to shout: Who are you!
However, she holds it back thinking it will be bad while thinking her character's position.
If she was too disrespectful, she could suddenly have her character killed again.
Even though this character is not Lena's favorite given her troublesome background, he still doesn't want to lose the character to play with.
If he really ran out of characters, then the 250$ he spent on buying this game would be a waste!
After thinking hard, Jane chose to tell some lies.
"I... I... Actually, I had a nightmare..."
"A nightmare?"
The super beautiful woman in front of Jane tilted her head.
"What kind of nightmare?"
"I don't know... But... I can only say that the dream is very bad and scary..."
Lena is not a gamer who specializes in Role-playing, so he is a little lacking when it comes to adding emotion to his acting.
However, he managed to trick them because of the confused expression mixed with a little fear that he unconsciously showed because of the confusion caused by being in a very bad situation for him as he is now.
The super-beautiful woman looked at Jane with a gentle gaze while rubbing her head affectionately.
"Alyvard, that kid, he's in a bit of a difficult situation because of what happened. You'd better help him later, okay?"
Jane nodded.
After making sure that Jane was okay, the woman went with the maids and finally left Jane alone.
The smile on Jane's pretty face disappeared when she was alone.
"AAAAARRRGGHH!!!"
It's embarrassing!
Not only did I become a woman, but I even had a fiancée!
What the hell is this? S-Should I stop using this character?
Jane thought of her other character, then immediately calmed down.
"But, what will happen to these NPCs if I disappear for a long time?"
Jane was a little curious about that.
"Will Jane Emereen disappear from their memories as if her never existed in the first place, or will the story continue to evolve even if Jane Emereen disappears?"
Dungeon of Logoss is an Online Multiplayer VRMMORPG game.
Players of this game are spread all over the world and it is impossible to log in at the same time.
Therefore, the DOL developers must not be able to take an approach to stop the game temporarily.
But if so, what will happen to NPCs who are set to have some kind of complicated relationship with the character the player is playing after that player stops playing or logs out?
In such a type of game, the realistic solution should be to make the game a single-player game or avoid giving characters with backgrounds that are closely related to the NPCs in the first place.
But the DOL did not do that.
Then, how do they overcome it?
When Jane began to think about it, this could not be removed from her mind.
She even became hesitant to log out for a moment.
However, in the end, because the situation was too unsuitable for hjm, Lena decided to keep Log out.
Lena returned to the Blank Virtual Room.
