Aaron just nodded his head. Keeping secrets wasn't something so hard to do, was it?"Mordekai, and the rest of the AI Monsters, intend to trap the players inside Martial Universe Online for all eternity," Dariowyn said."Wait, what?" Aaron rubbed his ears. Had he not heard wrong?"Yes. They want to create their own world - or even universe - separate from the human earth," Dariowyn explained. "They've already created that. Most of Martial Universe Online has been created by them. However, it would still be boring if the only inhabitants of this world were NPCs. You need something much more "alive". Therefore, the AI monster wants to "trap" the players in this world.""Lies," Aaron said. "There's no way something this crazy could happen. Martial Universe Online players can never be trapped in the game, the developers have created a forced logout protocol for players who have serious problems logging out normally. If the AI monster is trapping players, simply execute the protocol and th

Aaron opened the door of a small bar in Mirehaven Town, Golden Lotus Empire, after passing through the heavy rain.He hung his fully soaked leather coat on a special holder near the bar's door, before walking towards an empty table in the corner of the room.After sitting comfortably on a chair, Aaron immediately called out to the waiter and mentioned his order: a glass of hot chocolate."Um... Mister, we have the best wine in all of Mirehaven. Aren't you interested to try it?" asked the waiter with a face full of doubt, he felt Aaron had called his order wrong."No, I'm not. Just hot chocolate is all I want," Aaron replied firmly.The waiter nodded and immediately went to the bar to fulfill Aaron's order. Aaron pondered for a moment, enjoying the fairly lively atmosphere at the bar. He could hear the sounds of music and laughter from the other patrons who were having a good time there.Suddenly, the bar door opened, and in walked a large man wearing a black robe with a fur hat on his

Going down the hill, they realized that there were so many Spirit Beast imprints imprinted very clearly on the wet ground."We're alone here, so all these Spirit Beasts are ours." Ruric rubbed his hands with interest as he looked at the imprints.Aaron just shook his head with a smile.Judging from the depth of the traces, Aaron could guess the average Spirit Beast in Mire Forest had a level above 300, just like the Giant Angry Stone they had just faced in Death Rock.Hunting down all the Spirit Beasts in this forest was an act of madness that was tantamount to suicide. However, Aaron of course knew that Ruric was only joking with his words."But, I think we should forget about Spirit Beasts," Ruric said suddenly. "I heard a rumor from the forums that you were collecting orc kill counts, so that's why you formed the Shadow Legion. Is that rumor true?""I can't answer that question, but it's true that I want to hunt orcs now," Aaron said casually as if such a question did not burden hi

Aaron stood at the edge of the Mire Forest, his eyes staring into the distance as he contemplated his next move. The forest was a good hunting ground, but he felt he had run out of prey strong enough to support his development. She needed to find new challenges to keep pushing herself forward. It was then that he remembered hearing rumors of an even more terrifying forest nearby, filled with Spirit Beasts of unimaginable power.The forest was called Frostthorn!Without any further hesitation, Aaron set out in search of the forest. As he walked, the trees grew taller and darker, their branches stretching out like bony fingers. The ground became muddier, and the air became thick with a moist musky scent. Aaron knew that he was getting close.Finally, he arrived at the entrance of the mist-shrouded forest. He took a deep breath and stepped forward. The mist enveloped him, and he felt a chill run down his spine. As he continued to go deeper into the forest, he encountered a Spirit Beast

Meanwhile, Aaron seemed much calmer than the rest of the squad. To him, a few pearls were nothing extraordinary.However, he was happy that the fight with the strange scorpion had successfully brought him to level 300. It had even broken the record for the fastest level-up in the history of Martial Universe Online and Martial Earth Online.Aaron expected that in a few days, he would be summoned to Martial Online Company HQ for some award ceremony.Yet, while he was enjoying himself like this, a pop-up message suddenly appeared.Ding![Message from Leen:Aaron, I need you to leave the game right now before I perform the emergency protocol. I got a very bad report from the maid who is taking care of you: your body is convulsing and you have a high fever. I'm on my way to your house right now].After reading the message, Aaron couldn't help but smile bitterly. His current achievement was not without sacrifice; he had been in the game for two whole days, ignoring the system's warnings ab
