"Are you okay? I will—" Nash had just turned the corner of the maze and arrived at the source of the scream when he realized that it was a trap.

The man on the right stood holding his mouth, while two men on the left had axes and swords. The monster's voice came from him; maybe the man was a player with the ability to change voices. The last figure was a woman who grinned a little because she managed to deceive Nash with her screams.

Nash's eyes then glanced sideways and saw that several participants had already been killed. They were all just piled up in the corner of this labyrinth hall. Nash's instincts told him he couldn't stay here too long.

[Ding!]

When Nash was about to run away, a notification came.

[You got a new quest]

[Open the quest?]

(Yes.)

    "Negotiations?"Nash stopped his step when Stevan suddenly proposed the idea. He glanced up and saw that he still had enough time left within the quest time limit to hear what kind of nonsense would come out of Stevan's mouth. "Yes, listen to me first!" shouted Stevan again with a big and forced smile and both of his hands raised up. He really hoped that the mysterious young man would listen to what he said first and not charged at him. It was because Stevan was not a player with active skills. He was more superior with his passive skills and of course he was suitable to be used as bait or trap.Slam!Nash slammed the sword into the ground and supported both of his elbows on the tip of the sword. Nash's body leaned slightly forward. "Okay, I'll hear what negotiation you want. You have one minute..." said Nash, looking at his wrist as if there was a wristwatch on it. "...starting from now."Stevan blinked in surprise when he was only given a minute to speak, but he could not protest w

    Just as Nash experienced many difficulties, Elaine also encountered the same thing. She finished earlier than Nash and was immediately directed to a room where she was stared at with a condescending and belittling expression—the Gold room.The reason why Elaine was stared at in such a way was that almost half of the people there were either from Sylvandale or players who had played under the support of royalty in Sylvandale."Isn't she a wanted person? I recall seeing her face on a paper placed in the announcement board."One of the female participants who sat behind Elaine nudged her friend while whispering softly and pointing at Elaine.Her friend nodded. "You're right, he's the one Crown Prince Cassis is looking for. Does she have no shame coming to this competition?"Elaine ignored all the insults and continued to focus on sharpening her arrows using the small dagger. She did not need to bother listening to those unimportant rumors, as long as Elaine could win and prove her streng

    It had been two hours since Elaine defeated her first three enemies, and now she was just walking aimlessly because she didn't know where to go—or rather, Elaine couldn't distinguish directions very well.Bump!Suddenly, Elaine's feet tripped over something."Eh. What's this?"Apparently, Elaine had tripped over a medium-sized crate that was just lying in the middle of the maze.The girl looked right and left, afraid that this chest belonged to someone else who had deliberately left it there as bait for passing participants, thinking it was a chest filled with treasure.However, Elaine found no one there. Neither a person nor a monster roamed the labyrinth passage area, making the girl even more doubtful if this chest was really a decoy or not."Should I open it?" she asked herself.Then, the girl remembered Nash's words just before the first match started."Remember El. Never approach an ownerless object lying in the street.""Why? Doesn't that mean it has no owner? We should be free

    "Ooh, so you were looking for a safe point and couldn't find it because you weren't good at reading directions?"Thud! Thud! Thud!All of Snow's words were like arrows that went straight through Elaine's heart, leaving a wide gaping wound there. He spoke the truth, and it really hurt Elaine's little heart."Uh-huh, you're right.""Pffft—it turns out you sucked too, huh? Even though your move when you defeated the Ogre was really cool. Swoosh! Swoosh! To make a sound like that, you know, hahaha!" Snow wiped her tears. It turned out that behind her cold and calm name, the girl actually had a personality that was the opposite of her name."Hahaha… you're right." Elaine's forehead slightly twitched in annoyance at Snow's rambling.(Is this how Nash feels when I'm always nagging and whining at him? Huft, I have to fix my bad habit from now on.)"Okay, I wanted to be your navigator, as long as you help me too.""Help me with what?""You must protect me.""Huh?" Elaine raised an eyebrow, a s

    SLASH!Just as Elaine screamed in her heart, begging for help, a sudden figure appeared from above and slashed the Ogre's head one by one. The Ogre's body, separated from its head, fell forward spontaneously, causing a small earthquake. Elaine and Snow were unprepared for such a significant shock and fell together from the sudden shake impact.From above, a mysterious figure descended and slashed the heads of the Ogres that had been chasing Elaine and Snow. The mysterious figure skillfully took down all three Ogres in one swing, showing no signs of a slightest bit of concern. He even stepped on the head of the severed Ogre, jumping in the air before sliding down the wall.Drap! Drap! Drap!The mysterious figure landed perfectly, with the green blood of the now dead Ogres showering on him.Elaine widened her eyes in awe. She had never witnessed someone effortlessly defeat three gigantic Ogres, each three times the size of the one she had vanquished earlier, with just one swing of a swo

    "Oh, so you two were heading to a safe point?" Nash asked again. After several questions, he finally learned that they had been on their way to a safe point while being chased by the three Ogres. "Well, I'm on my way there too.""Is that true? Then let's go together! If you're around, everything will be fine. Just look at how strong you are," Snow came up with an idea.Nash then turned to Elaine. He couldn't make a final decision without the girl's consent. After all, Nash remembered that Elaine herself had said she could do it alone and would win this competition on her own."I don't mind either." Elaine gave a small nod while turning her eyes in another direction. The girl must have been feeling embarrassed because she had to swallow her own pride. However, what else could she do? The competition was heating up, and she couldn't handle everything alone."Is that true?" teased Nash, tilting his head to see Elaine's irritated expression. He was immediately met with a slight chuckle."

    "Could I ask for water here?" Elaine handed her leather water bag to the officer on duty at the corner of the Safe Point. The male attendant nodded and took Elaine's water bag without saying much. He filled it up to the brim before giving it back to her."Thank you," Elaine said, bowing her head as a courtesy. However, the officer didn't move and just stood still like a statue. Elaine felt that this was strange, so she quickly left and returned to where Nash and Snow were.The Safe Point was a cube-shaped room with a white interior. It was isolated from the outside world and served as an artificial dimension where even camera drones were forbidden to enter out of respect for the participants' rest. There had been a significant number of participants who had successfully entered this Safe Point. When Elaine had just entered, she was immediately stared at by the other participants who were already in the room. Most of them were injured from the fight, while others seemed fine. The numbe

    Bam!A loud sound emanated from the direction of the table as someone struck the surface hard. He then swept all the items on the table, causing them to fall to the floor, and gasped with great anger.Prang!Unwilling to cease, he hurled a glass at the wall, shattering it into pieces that scattered on the floor."Your Highness, please stop! You will only hurt yourself!" A woman with a tomboyish appearance, carrying a sword on her left hip, stood to the side. She was about to step forward but felt a bit apprehensive, knowing that an angry man could act irrationally."Stop, you say? STOP?" the man snapped as he seized the woman's collar and shouted in her face. He then forcefully pushed her back, but her solid foundation in martial arts prevented her from falling, and she regained her original position. "How can I calm down when I know that my little sister was in the competition, using her power of light to fight? Fortunately, I promptly brought Father and Mother back to the palace so

    "Hmm... seems like the situation ain't good for us to talk anymore," said Aurora, glancing at Snow and Elaine suspiciously. "Meet me after the evening feast in the VIP room later. My private guard will take you there. That is if you're still interested in my offer. Farewell, Hero."Aurora gave a thin smile, leaving a charming impression as she walked out of the barracks where Nash rested. True to her name, snow traces lingered wherever she stepped, turning the room into an instant ice-bound mountain.A moment after Aurora's departure, Elaine wasted no time and approached Nash with a skeptical look. "You... how do you know the princess from the Arctic region? Have you been meeting secretly behind my back?""Re-really! Tell me, Nash! Princess Aurora is my idol! I'm willing to do anything, even endure this damn competition to get her attention. But why is she interested in you? Tell me your secret!" Snow joined in, pulling Nash's hand and making him sigh tiredly due to this sudden interr

    The system had clearly and explicitly explained to Nash what Third World View was—a dimension where Nash could observe events in a location by projecting himself, but whatever Nash did or said could be conveyed to the real world due to the very thin barrier between them."Why can I only do this now?" Nash protested. If he had known that he could do this for a long time, Nash could have used this skill to locate his friends and Chisato.[Answer: That is because Player Nash has just fulfilled the conditions and requirements for using the exclusive skill: Third World View.]The system's answer made Nash furrow his brow. He then opened his information window and looked at his current player information. He hadn't seen it for quite some time because he was busy training Elaine in the forest and participating in the Sylvan Cup tournament.\\[Player Information]Name: Nash Ledger (LV. 40)Job: Swordsman, The Far AnalystTitle: Web-Weaving Warrior, Low Meat Slayer.

    Nash had a strange dream. He was in the midst of a great battle where monsters escaped from the tower where they were imprisoned and attacked everyone, including civilians and players. The dream felt incredibly real as Nash could hear people screaming as the monsters chased and tore them apart, while the players were busy defeating the monsters and couldn't save the trapped civilians in the chaos. "What is this? Why am I dreaming such terrible things again?" Nash still remembered the last time he had a bad dream, which turned out to be a reality. However, that was because the dream was a memory of Nash as an NPC repeating a game script, but this time Nash was no longer just an NPC but also a part of Heaven of Terraria. So, what did all of this mean? "In a little while, Heaven of Terraria will reach its final arc." A voice suddenly came from beside Nash, causing him to spontaneously turn and see the figure. Nash was taken aback when he realized that the figure was someone he knew.

    "Ugh, why are there so many people? I can't even find a way to escape," Chisato muttered as she got trapped in a crowded crowd at the waiting area for the qualifying participants. Prince Hassan had ordered Chisato to buy some snacks because he was hungry, despite the fact that Hassan had been eating all day, but he was still hungry. Chisato wanted to refuse, but she knew deep down that she was only surviving on Hassan's kindness as the prince of Iskandarien. Chisato would definitely be a homeless person on the streets if Hassan hadn't offered her a job at that time, although sometimes Chi felt that Hassan just wanted to toy with her."Sigh, I better get out soon and find some snacks before that food-loving prince comes looking for me and ends up disappearing who knows where." Chi clenched her fists earnestly before gathering the courage to step through the sea of people.Were they so curious about the masked participant?"Excuse me, coming through.""Excuse meee.""Sorry, sorry.

    "Hurry, come in here. It's safer here!"A girl pulled the overwhelmed young man's hand, pushing through the crowd that tried to reach out to interview him. Without hesitation, the young man followed the girl's lead and entered a closed room that wasn't crowded—only a few participants who had made it through the second round were there."Whew, that was close. Wasn't it?"The young man then removed the mask he had been wearing for approximately 22 hours in the labyrinth and revealed his face covered in sweat."Yes, you're right. I didn't expect there would be so many journalists waiting for us at the finish line." He paused for a moment, then suddenly touched the girl's cheek. "El, your cheek is bleeding. Did you get scratched earlier?"Elaine blinked in surprise when Nash suddenly touched her cheek. She quickly pushed Nash's hand away and covered her reddened cheek out of embarrassment. "Ah, it's nothing. Just a small scratch.""Tch," Nash scoffed at Elaine's stubbornness. He then put

    "Excuse me, oops— I'm sorry."An orange cup with a white plastic straw fell to the floor when someone hit it with her elbow, and she received a death stare."Do you wish to die now, huh?" The cup owner, a big man three times her size, looked at her menacingly. He had just lost a bet when his pick died on the battlefield, resulting in the loss of nearly 50 gold coins. Now, a petite-looking girl stood in front of him with a half-dumbfounded expression after making his last orange cup fall to the floor. "I'll—""Please, let her go, mister. Here's a small compensation for your loss."From the girl's side, a young man hurriedly stood in front of her, as if protecting her from the big and somewhat intimidating man. He held out a pocket to the man, causing the big man to raise his eyebrow in confusion. However, when he heard the heavy clink from the pocket, he decided to take it quickly."Now you understand, boy! I forgive you, I forgive you, hahaha!" The big man left with a wide smile on hi

    “We surrounded all of them!”“Guard them so no one can escape!”As the crowd gathered, Nash stood triumphant, the victor of the intense battle against Vexul, Nekron, and Morgrath. The defeated members of the Arcane Guild were now bound, surrounded by a group of nearly ten individuals, ensuring their capture. Nash, wearied from the arduous fight, wore an expression of exhaustion and fatigue, yet a sense of satisfaction shone through.Vexul, his teeth gritted in frustration, refused to accept his defeat, his eyes filled with a fiery determination that mirrored his unyielding spirit. "This... this cannot be! I will not accept this outcome!"Nash, with a stoic gaze, addressed Vexul, his voice laced with weariness yet an unwavering resolve. "Your arrogance blinds you, Vexul. Accept your defeat with some semblance of grace."Meanwhile, Morgrath, filled with desperation, made a futile attempt to escape the clutches of his captors. However, his efforts were in vain as he found himself surroun

    “Keurgh!”Nash engaged in a fierce battle against Vexul, the master of spatial manipulation, Nekron, a half-necromancer with dark magic at his disposal, and Morgrath, a relentless melee fighter with devastating burst skills. The clash between their abilities pushed Nash to the brink of exhaustion.[Warning: Your HP is in dangerous state. Please take a rest or drink a Health Potion to restore your HP.](Damn! I don’t have time even to pull a potion right now!)“Come! Flame Slash!”Unleashing his flame sword, a powerful weapon he had acquired from a previous battle, Nash fought with all his might. The flames danced and crackled, striking at his opponents with searing intensity. However, Vexul's space skill proved to be a formidable defense, as he effortlessly dodged and evaded Nash's fiery onslaught.“Keh—it’s that all you got after babbling and bragging? You’re just a trash, Nash. A big trash.”“I’ll kill that motherfucker with my fist!” Morgrath charged forward and released a hard blo

    117. Meeting With Them Again (1)As the excitement of their victory subsided, Nash felt a sense of exhaustion creeping in. He yearned for a moment of respite at the Safe Point, where he could recover and strategize for the next phase of their journey, as well as reunited again with Elaine and Snow. Turning to Dragonclaw and Gron, he voiced his intentions.“I think it's time for me to head to the Safe Point and take a breather. We've earned it after that intense battle."Dragonclaw grinned mischievously, his eyes gleaming with playful sarcasm. "Oh, so The Mimic, the mighty fire-wielder, needs a little rest, huh? Can't handle the heat anymore?"Gron chuckled a little, joining in on the banter.Nash rolled his eyes, a playful smirk forming on his lips. "Oh, you two are just jealous of my newfound fiery skills. But don't worry, I'll save some enemies for you to defeat."Dragonclaw feigned offense, placing a hand dramatically over his heart. "Me? Jealous? Never! I'll just find a way to han
