After completing the transaction for the arrows, they continued their journey deep into the dense forest. Ancient trees surrounded them, their branches intertwining to form a canopy of leaves that blocked out most of the sunlight.
Goldrich walked near Broken, a strange smile spreading across his face before he spoke.
“Hey, Broken.”
Broken turned to him, eyes questioning. “Hey.”
“Khi khi khi… Do you know a girl named Freya outside the game?” he said suddenly, bringing up a new topic.
Broken paused, caught off guard by the question. He searched Goldrich’s face for any hint of what answer he was expecting but decided it was best to remain silent.
“That shouldn’t be answered, right?” he said with a thin smile.
“You don’t need to answer it,” Goldrich replied with a laugh.
“But, did you know that players can engage in S, E, and X in this game, right? Khi khi khi…” he continued.
Broken remained silent. He was aware that specific actions could be performed in the game, especially relating to physical intimacy with another player or NPC, but only once a month of Yunatea Time and only with NPCs or other players to whom they were married. Age
restrictions were also in place to prevent players from becoming addicted to such activities and to avoid legal issues.
What would happen if players reached their limit and couldn’t engage in those actions? Their genitalia would disappear from their bodies.
This feature had faced criticism and condemnation from many people and countries. To address concerns, several restrictions were implemented to provide a realistic gaming experience while considering ethical aspects and preventing abuse, such as the use of prostitution services in the game.
Goldrich then smiled broadly as if he possessed some secret knowledge that Broken was entirely unaware of. “Don’t waste your time looking at someone else when there’s such beauty right next to you.” He chuckled softly. “Devour her, khi khi khi…”
The implications of his comment sent shivers up Broken’s spine. He fully understood the disturbing meaning behind Goldrich’s use of the word ‘devour.’ freewebnoveℓ.com
Broken smiled awkwardly, unsure of how to respond to such a remark.
“Let me know if you need any information about the game,” Goldrich continued. “I know a lot about it, especially how to win over the beautiful women within it,” he added with a sly wink.
Broken had previously met every member of the Ass Guild, though most introductions had been purely formal. Some members were quite friendly, while others were more reserved. They each had their unique personalities. However, out of everyone, it was the Core Trio- Elincia, Maylock, and Goldrich—who spoke to him the most frequently.
Kingsley, too, was very friendly, but he spoke only when necessary.
“I will… Actually, there are many things I want to ask,” Broken finally replied.
“I would be happy to answer and help you, okay, khi khi khi,” Goldrich responded with a grin. They continued their journey, pausing occasionally to fend off relentless monsters attacking from all sides. However, they were employing an unusual strategy in this situation; only one person was fighting the monsters at a time, and they were taking turns doing so. Goldrich noticed Broken’s puzzled expression and explained, “They want to test their strength, and we compete with each other to see who can finish off the monsters the fastest.”
When another wave of monsters advanced, it was Elincia’s turn. She stepped forward, and the sky split open with a deafening thunderclap. An eerie blue electricity engulfed her body, lifting her into the air.
Several lightning bolts shot down with pinpoint accuracy, striking the monsters below with immense power.
The other members were momentarily stunned into silence, covering their ears against the rolling thunder that surrounded them.
After Elincia had finished, she landed gracefully on the ground, and everything went quiet once more. They continued their journey as if nothing had happened.
“Isn’t she incredible?” Goldrich asked Broken.
Broken nodded in agreement. “Yes, I’ve felt her powerful skill before,” he said sarcastically.
“Khi khi khi,” Goldrich laughed.
“She’s the best mage in Immortal Legacy, right?” Broken inquired.
Goldrich explained, “According to the rankings, yes. She is the highest level mage.”
Broken gave Goldrich a questioning look but remained silent.
“What?” Goldrich scoffed, “Me? Khi khi khi… With my superior knowledge and wisdom, I am
beyond Elincia. We can’t even be compared in this respect.”
“Do you know why she is the Guild Master, not the smart-ass Maylock or the wise me?” Goldrich asked.
Broken shook his head, unsure of the answer.
Goldrich chuckled softly. “This chaotic bunch needs someone like her-someone who can be resolute, occasionally lighthearted, and knows when to act at critical moments.” He glanced back at Broken. “I’m not asking you to forgive her recklessness right away. But I hope you can find some friends in this guild. And you could start with me.”
Broken nodded slowly. “Thanks, Goldrich.”
“Our guild members,” Goldrich continued, “are mostly men. Only five women, but all of them are still single,” he said softly.
Broken scanned the lineup, observing each guild member. There was Elincia, who looked to be in her early twenties, and Melliandra, who was still a teenager. Then there was Jovina, Goldrich’s mission partner, who often spoke the loudest and seemed to clash with Melliandra
frequently.
Goldrich went on, “Exclude Melliandra; she’s just a kid. Khi khi khi,” he chuckled.
“Elincia and Charmelyn are probably around your age,” he added.
“Ignore Jovina…” he continued.
“But Starfall is a celebrity from Korea. She’s a singer and actress too. You know that, right?”
Goldrich said.
Broken then noticed a mage in a black outfit, appearing to be in her mid-twenties, with black hair and an Asian face.
He shook slowly, taking in Goldrich’s story.
After a while, Maylock’s voice boomed from the very back, “Hold on! We’re stopping here.”
They had finally reached a clearing that stretched far and wide. The sun shone down on a vast sea of wild grass that rustled in the wind and an array of lush bushes surrounded by towering
trees.
“We’ll wait here for one hour before the raid boss appears,” he continued. “Please take the time to do whatever you want, but make sure to be back here ten minutes before the
appointed time.”
The guild members then dispersed, each finding their own spot to rest and relax.
“You’re quite friendly, Broken,” Goldrich said. “I’m sure the members of the Ass Guild will slowly approach you and get to know you better. Don’t mind them; they’re all actually friendly people. It’s just that their high positions can sometimes make them a little haughty
and a bit arrogant. Khi khi khi…”
“Thanks, Goldrich. I feel more at ease among you all because of you,” Broken replied.
Goldrich winked and then walked away.
Broken trudged to a nearby tree, its large roots snaking across the earth beneath them. He sat
in its cradling arms and closed his eyes.
He felt a presence nearby and looked up to see Elincia walking closer. Her eyes met his but
then lowered to the ground as she moved forward. When she got close enough, she raised her
head and met his gaze.
“Hi,” she said softly.
