Nash felt a sense of satisfaction as he successfully donned the thick cotton vest, earbuds, and helmet. The system's monotonous voice echoed in his head, confirming his actions.

[Thick Cotton Vest has been successfully worn.]

[Thick Cotton Earbuds have been worn successfully.]

[Thick Cotton Helmet has been successfully equipped.]

With his equipment in place, Nash rose from the rubble, shaking off the dust and pebbles that clung to him. Despite his battered face, there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"I'm still alive," he muttered to himself.

His words caught the attention of Adam, who had already started to move away but stopped when he heard Nash speak. The man turned around, slightly impressed to see Nash standing after taking several fatal blows.

"Hmm, you're interesting," Adam remarked. "It's the first time I've seen someone still able to stand after one of my attacks. What's your name?"

Nash spat out blood, discarding it aside with a grimace at Adam's question. "You don't even

    As Nash landed in Sylvandale after using [Teleportation Wish] item, the five individuals he had brought along found themselves scattered across the realm of Terraria, separated from one another.Adam's hypnosis skill had taken its toll, only releasing its hold once the distance between the affected individuals had exceeded its limit."Gasp!"Lisa gasped, her eyes fluttering open as she panted heavily, her gaze darting around in search of Nash.“Nash? NASH! Where are you, Nash!” she called out, getting up from her prone position and desperately scanning her surroundings. But luck was not on her side, as Nash was nowhere to be found."Have I been transported away from Nash and the others?" Lisa wondered, her mind racing. She was no novice in the world of Heaven of Terraria, and she was familiar with the Teleportation Wish item. Despite being under the effects of forced hypnosis, Lisa had managed to retain awareness of her surroundings, even though her body refused to obey her commands.

    As Nash gazed out as far as his eyes could see, he found himself surrounded by trees, shrubs, and all manner of greenery. The cool atmosphere here was not much different from his village, Camden Village, but unlike here, back home he could see a vast array of colors, not just green.Here, everything was a sea of green. Dark green, light green, mint green, it was all-encompassing, and Nash couldn't decide if he was disgusted or fascinated by the sheer beauty of this land of the elves.Besides the trees, Nash also encountered little fairies similar to the one before. They flitted around, flying low among the bushes, and hid behind flower buds, observing Nash's movements with the curiosity of a child encountering a strange new creature."I feel uneasy here, somehow," Nash muttered to himself, rubbing the back of his head.Despite the peaceful appearance of this place, like the image of heaven depicted in the stories people told back in his village, Nash could sense that there was somethi

    Alfonso wore a bitter expression on his face when he asked, "What do you want?" He seemed to not expect Nash's arrival at all. The people who had gathered to see Alfonso's wares slowly left, which made Alfonso's true colors more apparent.Nash suddenly doubted his decision to ask for an explanation about the fairies. It seemed that Alfonso wanted to expel Nash as soon as possible. However, the young man shook his head, determined to clear any doubts from his mind.He said, "Ahhh, never mind! I'll just ask. I heard that these fairies could charge our elements. What does that mean?"Alfonso rolled his eyes and wore an annoyed expression. “Haaaah, why are you asking me? I don't have time to deal with a newbie like you. Just go-"But then, another figure appeared among them, surprising both Alfonso and Nash. The newcomer said, “I'm also curious about that. Can you explain it to me too… hm?”Alfonso was taken aback by the sight before him. Standing in front of him was an elven woman with l

    "You... I told you not to keep giving in to them, El!" scolded a girl with short silver hair, her voice filled with frustration. She stood tall, her piercing gaze fixed on the girl sitting on the grass beneath the moonlight. The girl on the grass had long, flowing blonde hair that cascaded down her back like the finest silk. Even in the moonlight, she seemed to radiate an otherworldly beauty, as if she were a goddess of the night herself.But despite her ethereal appearance, the girl's eyes were filled with sadness.She let out a long sigh, her voice heavy with despair. "Haaaah—I don't know, Lippe. I just don't know what to do," she said, her voice barely above a whisper."None of them will listen to me, the Youngest Princess of the kingdom of Sylvandale. They all see me as worthless, as nothing. I just don't know where to turn to vent my sadness. If only Mother were still alive, she would never have abandoned me like this."Lippe, the silver-haired girl, bit her lip as she listened t

    Lippe looked at Nash, who was spearing a piece of steak on his plate, with a cynical expression. "Mom, can you explain all this?" she asked. Lumiere, Lippe's mother, tilted her head in confusion. "You mean?" she said, clearly perplexed. Nash felt like he was trapped in a tiger cage, unsure of how to respond. He wished he had never accepted the invitation to dinner. With a few coins still in his bank account, Nash thought it would have been better to eat at a cheap tavern in peace than to go through this ordeal. Calliope let out a long sigh. "Don't pretend you don't know, Mom!" she exclaimed. "He must be your boyfriend, right? I don't agree! Papa might have died long ago, but this boy is still too young for you! He must be after your money, just like all the other jerks out there!" "Cough!" Nash choked on a piece of meat and almost suffocated when a glass of water was offered from the side. The blonde girl approached Nash with concern written on her face. "Are you alright?" s

    "Huft, life can be full of jokes," Nash muttered to himself as he walked out of the Lumiere house, his expression weary. As he passed through the door, a bespectacled maid bowed to him in respect.Nash made his way down the path with slow, deliberate steps, wincing as a sharp pain shot through his left leg. "Ugh, I'd hate to have to spend money on rejuvenation potions again," he grumbled to himself.With the plan of gathering supplies in the morning, Nash would set off for Iskandarien as soon as possible. Upon reaching his destination, he intended to meet with Chisato and Grandma before embarking on his search for Shein and other companions.Nash was convinced that if the five of them could rely on their own strengths and if fate was kind, they would all gather again in one place. The young man held onto the hope that their reunion was possible despite the trials they faced."Nash, wait a minute!" called out a feminine voice from behind.Nash, who had been lost in his thoughts, turned

    The atmosphere in the palace hall was quiet and dark, a sign that curfew had long passed and almost everyone had retired to their respective rooms. The only sounds were the night animals still awake and the soft footsteps of a young girl tiptoeing down the corridor to her room at the end."You just got back?""Hic!"Elaine jumped in surprise at the sudden voice. She turned her head to find a young man, about her age, standing against the wall with a dim lantern in his hand. His dark auburn hair glinted in the light."Ragnar..." Elaine whispered, her expression turning from shock to worry. "Why aren't you sleeping yet? Do you want to get scolded by Sis Soren and Rowena?""I don't care about those two," Ragnar said shortly, his expression sour. He looked Elaine up and down. "Where have you been? Why are you coming home so late?"Elaine stammered, unsure of what to say."I already know about your habit of sneaking out of the palace," Ragnar said with a knowing smirk. "You think I can't s

    "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!"

    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.

    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

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
