[:SPHYNX: HAS JOINED A NEW UNDERWORLD]**Welcome to the New Underworld.****You’re now in the Mixed Creatures' paradise, Elyium Land.**“WoAh!”I’m mesmerized by my surroundings; it feels like I'm in a fantasy world.**Ding**[:Try making private calls:]“Hmm… Let’s see.” I rested my fingers on my chin, with my left hand on my waist as I bent my body, intently looking at the hologram screen.When I called Ethan, he answered instantly.[:ObedientMan: HAS ACCEPTED YOUR CALL]I shifted my feet, settling into the surroundings with a sense of excitement.***WHAT'S WITH YOUR ID!? SPHYNX? THAT DOESN'T EVEN SUIT YOUR ATTITUDE***The idea of finding something cool had my heart racing, making me feel a bit like a maniac. But hearing Ethan's voice ruined it.My imagination…Was shattered. “Wow… Don’t want to hear it from the guy called OBEDIENT MAN.”Clenching my hand, I smirked, really wanting to punch him even in my imagination. I kept walking, eager to see what I might find. Maybe a cat or so
[SYSTEM UPDATE][Congratulations Player SPHYNX!][THE SYSTEM HAS SUCCESSFULLY GRANTED YOUR WISH]Pardon? Did I wish for something that I didn't know? [You wished to not leave here…..] What!? That's a ridiculous claim! That's not my point. The words floated in the air, shimmering like a holographic display. I stared at the screen, my mind struggling to process the implications. I tried to move, but my limbs felt strangely heavy, as though they were bound by invisible chains. My heart raced, and a cold sweat broke out on my forehead. “What… what’s happening?” I stammered, my voice trembling as I tried to make sense of the surreal situation.The guild master, who had been smirking with a sense of superiority, now wore a more serious expression. “It seems the system has a surprise for you, SPHYNX,” he said, his tone grave.“What kind of surprise?” I asked, a note of fear creeping into my voice.“It appears that the system has triggered a special event mode,” the guild master explaine
As I stepped into the guild hall, it felt like diving into a whirlwind of relief and curiosity. The NPCs were buzzing with excitement, practically vibrating in anticipation of my return.**Ding!**[You Successfully Completed The Trial] [You Received a Title: The one who save Unknown] [You Received a Title: The one who experienced special treatments] Wow so loud, “SPHYNX, you’re back!” the guild master boomed, eyes twinkling like he'd just stumbled upon a hidden gem.“Wait, wasn’t he with me?” I muttered, catching my breath and looking around.“How did the trial go?” he asked, his curiosity peaking.“It was a trip, but... weren’t you with me?” I said, confused. “I swear you were right there.”“That’s impressive,” the guild master said, puzzled, like he was piecing together a puzzle. “Me? How so? You suddenly vanished…”“Uh, what? Then who was that?” I blinked, completely lost.“Right,” I said, pulling up my quest log. “Looks like I’m supposed to bind a young black dragon. That wa
Half a month ago, I was drawn into this chaotic, ever-changing forest by some peculiar Special Event Mode. They brought me back to the game, but it feels like this game doesn’t exist anymore.Sure, I’m still here, but hey, I’ve opened a cat cafe while navigating around monsters and solving pointless puzzles.“Master… Someone saw the Queen enter the cafe.” I looked at the Ghoul in front of me as I sipped a glass of cold coffee while eating some chocolate cake.I glanced at her and took another sip, “Lesly, you don't need to inform me about that. It's not like I want to see her; every time she arrives, it's unnoticed.”It’s been five months since I was trapped in a game called 'New Underworld,' and the strangest thing is that I haven’t encountered a single other player.“Anyways… How's the investigation about players?” I asked, leaning back in my chair.She bowed, “Forgive me, master. There's no information about them; it’s as if they’ve ceased to exist.”I cut a slice of cake and enjoy
As I stepped through the pathway, the sensation of leaving one world and entering another enveloped me. The vast, crackling portal before me signaled my return from the game I’d been trapped in. I took a deep breath, absorbing the reality of being back. **Ding!** The familiar chime echoed, signaling the end of my time in the game and my reentry into this world. I glanced around, only to find something startlingly wrong. [Welcome Back to Your World, Lu Shian!] The notification appeared before me, but my attention was quickly drawn to the empty space where my kittens should have been. My heart sank. “Wait, where are my baby kittens?” I called out, a note of panic creeping into my voice. I looked around frantically. The kittens, my constant companions in the game, were nowhere in sight. Instead, I saw a small cluster of beings in the distance that resembled them but were in a strange, infantile state. “Fuck? My babies have turned into literal babies!?” I shouted, disbelief a
Ding!A notification chimed in my mind, snapping me back to the present.[Task ??: Your girlfriend is about to arrive. Act like you don’t want her to break up, but let her do it anyway.]I sighed, adjusting my blue hoodie, feeling the fabric's comfort against my skin. “So, now is the time, kids stay here you all can't control your appearance”"okays!" I glanced outside to see Wang Li waiting by the gate, a mix of apprehension and resolve etched across her face.As I opened the door, I forced a smile, though it felt heavy on my lips. “Why didn’t you say you’d come? You should come inside,” I said, my voice steady, though my heart raced. After I got back I found out something, the time in that game and here is different. I might stay for a lot of time in that New Underworld, but it only last 3 days here. Though, I still don't know where the fuck is my friend. Nevermind, I know he will go here if I messaged him tomorrow. Why tomorrow and not now? I'm still thinking about how I will e

I confusedly looked at my surroundings. I smirks and closed my arms. De ja vu? Really? Is this suppose to happen now? As far that I remember, this is not supposed to happen now. Nevermind. Let's do what we do last time, I don't want to change everything. Anyways, this is kinda exciting. "Hmm... Hello? Fuck what I'm even doing? What do I mean, hello? I'm the only one here," I said, fearingly walking. Come on speak now, well I should act like I'm scared. 'The next head can't see us? ' Oh! There they are. This is so unbelievable, in my past life I can
"Dang! There's no food," I muttered, glancing at Sesy, who was watching me intently. "How can you see us?" he asked, puzzled. I crossed my arms, feigning seriousness. "Since the time you came?" "I didn’t say when. I'm asking how," he pressed. I smirked, enjoying the banter. "After you ask how you’ll ask when. My time is precious." Just then, the kids’ voices piped up from the living room. "Dad! Do you not want your girlfriend to leave you?" Ciemon asked, his big cat eyes wide with concern. I sighed, knowing the truth. "I was waiting for it." Dervin's bounded over, ears perked. "But if you're waiting, why were you crying so loud yesterday? It sounded like a storm!" He dramatically mimicked the sound. I took a deep breath, trying to hold back my emotions. "Because I loved her for four years, and it hurts to know she’s with my brother." "But you’re hungry, right? Is that why you’re going to the market?" Favon asked, his fluffy tail twitching nervously. "Exactly. I need somethi
