Chereads / Dundeon of Logoss - VRMMORPG / Chapter 19 - Curiosity

Chapter 19 - Curiosity

Lena returned to the Blank Virtual Room.

His face put on a complicated expression as he stared at his two characters.

"Jane... Niyailla..."

Lena wanted to play as Niyailla, but when he did, a feeling of high responsibility attacked him.

It felt like Lena was an antique motorcycle driver who suddenly went through a lot of steps and tried to pilot a jet plane.

Niyailla was still too strong for him.

Lena suspects that it is a setting that is deliberately made by DOL for every player who has never raised their character to a certain point so that it is difficult to play a character who has a high level from the beginning.

Niyailla's life, which has lasted for more than 100 years, cannot be borne by Lena.

Her feelings, be it happiness, despair, sadness, anger, and everything, were too heavy for Lena.

All of those feelings felt very real.

It's like not just a feeling that comes from what you feel when you read the character's backstory of sadness, but like something you really feel.

"DOL is an unusual game..."

That's how people say it.

However, as if there was something they understood tacitly, no one ever said what the DOL had become unusual.

Dungeon of Logoss is very realistic.

But it's pretty common among other top VR games.

NPCs in DOL are very responsive and lively. This is also not strange now that AI technology has evolved to be very sophisticated and complex.

So, what really makes DOL unique?

Is it because of how much freedom they give to their Players?

At first, that's what Lena was thinking.

However, after playing DOL directly, he realized that Players in DOL have many limitations in various forms of character problems they play. So, they are not really as free as what people think.

So, what's so special about DOL? What makes it able to attract so many people? What makes it different?

Lena suspects that it comes from a unique and mysterious character and mechanism of Destiny.

However, surely the truth is not only limited to that.

There should be something more extraordinary.

It's something that's pretty incredible, and, most likely, the main reason why the Cube of Fate is so hard to come by and expensive.

The players who had been playing DOL for a while were aware of this truth, yet they deliberately chose to keep their mouths shut.

Why do they do it? Is there some kind of reason behind it?

An excuse, which is also not trivial?

"I have to keep playing DOL to confirm my guess."

At that moment, Lena decided to seriously play the Dungeon of Logoss.

He ignored his inner resistance to play a female character.

Niyailla was incapable of being played by Lena at this point, so Lena chose to play as Jane.

Lena's wheel of destiny began to spin at high speed.

Today was the day of the birth of a person who would later reach the top of the Dungeon of Logoss.

Today was the birthday of Leen, someone who would later become one of the 10 Monarchs of law.

"Poor newbie. He died easily like that."

Inside her private home in Muvill Town, Lovely Qiqi was relaxing on the balcony.

The party at the Town's lord's mansion was long over, shortly after Leen became a snack for the Swamp Worm.

Lovely Qiqi remembered Leen's young face and felt sorry for him.

"How unfortunate. That means Leen won't be able to obtain a Law because he has lost one of his characters. But... I'm wonder, who took his Treasure Chest?"

Lovely was a little curious which Player could access the information of Leen's died and could secure his Treasure Chest faster than them.

Then, she remembered the unknown Player who threatened them a moment ago.

"Could it be that Bluevoice?"

"Yes, it's me."

Without even Lovely Qiqi realizing it, a dagger was already attached to her neck, ready to kill her at any moment.

"-!!"

Since when did she?

Lovely Qiqi was very shocked as she was unable to detect Bluevoice's existence at all before Bluevoice spoke and deliberately exposed her existence.

Raising her head in an attempt to keep the distance between her neck and the blade of the dagger, Lovely Qiqi spoke up.

"You... Are you Bluevoice?"

"Yes," Bluevoice replied, then whispered from behind Lovely Qiqi's ear, "The Law you talked about earlier... What do you mean?"

Lovely Qiqi swallowed her own saliva.

She could see that Bluevoice's dagger was slowly starting to approach her skin.

Even if she tried to offense with her magic, Bluevoice surely could cut her troat faster than her can form any magic.

Taking a breath, she chose to ask: "Are you is the one... Who took Leen's Treasure Chest?"

Bluevoice didn't see any trouble telling her, so she immediately admitted it.

"That's right. I see that you guys intend to let Leen die for good, so I took his Treasure Chest first and, once I'm strong enough, I'll bring him back to life."

Lovely Qiqi was surprised to hear it.

She thought that Bluevoice was a typical player who only cared about treasures, but she turned out to care deeply about Leen and secured his Treasure Chest before Jack and the others could take it.

At that moment, Bluevoice asked: "Therefore, tell me everything you know about how to resurrect the character who was killed in DOL."

Bluevoice's voice was very cold and did not tolerate any objections at all.

Lovely Qiqi dripped a cold sweat.

She realizes that being killed at the hands of Bluevoice is tantamount to losing her character for good. That would be so bad!

So, she obediently answered Bluevoice's question.

"Actually, there's two way to revived a in character in DOL..."

After hearing everything Lovely Qiqi said, only then did the blade of the dagger on Lovely Qiqi's neck become slightly further away from her skin.

Lovely Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of it.

"Resurrection magic... And Fragment of Fate... Alright, I'll believe your words."

Bluevoice put away her dagger and was just about to leave.

However, she stopped when she recalled Lovely Qiqi's previous words.

"Law... what is that you talked about earlier?"

Hearing Bluevoice's question, Lovely Qiqi smiled as she stroked her still intact neck.

"As long as you play carefully without losing any of your characters and manage to raise one of your characters to level 5, then you'll understand."

Bluevoice stared at Lovely Qiqi with a cold gaze for a few moments.

Then, without leaving a trace or sound, Bluevoice disappeared.

Bluevoice disappeared like a ghost. It was as if she had never existed in the first place.

Lovely Qiqi wiped the sweat on her forehead.

"S-She's scary~!"
