Chapter 85 Holographic Online Games Are So Cool (Part 6)

"Have you forgotten? You once saved me in the alleys of Twinwood City."

Freya said.

"?" Si Yisi was a little confused. There was no such thing in Luo Xinxiu's memory... No, he couldn't think of it that way.

Wait a minute… Si Yisi paused for a moment. He had indeed seen this event, though not very clearly, in Luo Xinxiu’s memory.

While Luo Xinxiu was working on a time distortion project in Shuangmu City, he happened to encounter two thugs surrounding an injured girl in an alley.

The "Star" game was quite realistic; the girl's leg was broken, and blood filled Luo Xinxiu's eyes.

He helped the girl and left quietly.

Later, Luo Xinxiu realized that the girl he had rescued did not seem to exist at this point in time—he seemed to have been mistakenly transported to the past due to a time distortion.

But... these are Luo Xinxiu's memories from his previous life! That time period was even after this point in time.

How could Freya possibly have such memories? Si Yisi gave Freya a deep look; she was probably not a simple person.

Is he really just a data-driven, boss-level NPC character?

Not entirely.

"You remember these things?" Sis asked Freya in a calm tone.

“I remember…” Freya’s brows suddenly furrowed with a hint of melancholy, “But it has been so long that I only recognized you by feeling. I seem to have seen an elf somewhere who looks exactly like you, but her mannerisms are very different from yours.”

“She’s not the one I’m looking for, so…” Freya said playfully, her tongue slightly curled, “I killed the imposter—but she seems to have some kind of life-saving ability, coming back to life again and again.”

"But this didn't stop me. I captured a powerful priestess and had her help me seal that imposter away for a long time."

"No one can replace you, my king."

Freya kissed Sis's fingertips again, her voice elegant and joyful, perfectly capturing the seductive nature of dark creatures.

It looks exactly like "Broken Brush Painting Ink," and it can be resurrected—

Si Yisi blinked. This sounded exactly like a player!

Moreover, this player's identity might be none other than Luo Yi'an, who has taken over his twin brother's game character!

After Freya finished speaking, she slowly stood up, bowed to Sis, and her fingertips lightly rubbed together. Then, one lamp after another lit up in the dimly lit palace.

"To celebrate the birth of the King, we have prepared a celebration for you—" Freya smiled slightly, "Please, Your Majesty..."

"Take a seat!"

At this moment, the "Star" game was also completely updated, and countless players flocked in from the outside world to watch the newly released expansion.

Its name is—

[The Demon King's Celebration]!

One after another, powerful teams of dark creatures appeared in the players' field of vision, zooming in from afar, accompanied by deafening shouts, immediately igniting the players' surging passion!

You don't need to look too closely to hear what these armies are celebrating.

"Welcome—the King's arrival!"

The scene shifts, revealing a magnificent palace before the players. The bright candlelight, the unique dark atmosphere, the broken walls and remaining splendor create a striking contrast.

It makes players hold their breath involuntarily.

A red carpet had been laid out on the floor, its intense crimson color almost suffocating. A fallen spirit, who could be described with a beautiful name, quietly poured wine at the table, the red wine gleaming dazzlingly.

She was facing a black throne.

The "Demon King," dressed in a magnificent long dress, slowly walked towards the dining table. His eyes, which were fixed on the screen, were deep and dark, just like darkness itself!

The moment the Demon King casually glanced at the "screen," a scene flashed by rapidly.

—It was a spirit bound to a cross, burned to ashes in the enchanting red flames, yet it maintained a cold expression throughout.

This magnificent scene, reminiscent of a phoenix rising from the ashes, flashed by in an instant. He picked up his wine glass and took a small sip, revealing a strange, androgynous beauty about him.

For a moment, players were unable to determine His true gender.

"Ahhh—!" The expansion ended, but countless players were belatedly clutching their cheeks and screaming.

This demon king is so handsome and cool! His good looks have caused Si Yisi's popularity to soar!

Within a short period of time, discussions about this update on the Stellar forum quickly became highly popular.

One post has remained consistently popular: [Is the Demon King Si male or female? Or rather, is He/She...?]

Yes, the official Stellar Online Games team deliberately kept players in suspense, providing only a few words as a description of this Demon King character—

[The Dark Lord], think!

"What are they trying to do!"

In the orc royal palace, near the place where the dark creatures pledged allegiance to the Demon King, the orc king could no longer contain his anger and lost his temper!

His eyes were wide open, and veins bulged on his strong muscles. Orcs were by nature a race prone to anger and rage, and the actions of this suddenly appearing demon king were seen as blatant provocation, so it was no wonder that the orc king reacted so violently.

"Summon the warriors!" the orc king roared at his ministers. "Let's go and defeat this demon king!"

"Dark creatures cannot have a leader! Kill—!"

This situation occurred in many cities and garrisons.

From a dark corner came a rustling sound...

"Demon King... King! King? I must go there to see him—"

Darkness was silently gathering, advancing towards their faith. Both higher and lower, almost irrational, dark creatures surged toward the king!

That's what can guide them...

Your Majesty!

Luo Xinxiu finally managed to finish his sister's "merciful" massage. Actually... his sister's massage technique was terrible, like pushing a piece of rotten flesh.

Rough... Luckily, he couldn't feel anything.

Although he thought it was alright, Luo Xinxiu still felt a sense of loss.

While Luo Yi'an was out playing with his classmates, he secretly put on the gaming helmet and entered the Stellar Online game. That expansion pack made Luo Xinxiu's blood boil; it was practically a demonstration of…

The real world!

How wonderful...

In this world, I can ignore my flaws and do everything I want to do!

Luo Xinxiu's gaze lingered on the Demon King's face for a moment, admiring the aura the Demon King possessed.

This kind of indifferent, carefree temperament, not letting anything bother you!

The moment Luo Xinxiu looked away, something suddenly boomed in his mind, a flash of inspiration. The Demon King's appearance...why did it seem somewhat familiar?

The thought flashed through Luo Xinxiu's mind, and the next moment he began to log into his game character. A magnificent scroll unfolded around Luo Xinxiu, and finally he stood in the empty space of the elf character.

[Update complete.]

[Welcome back to Stellar Game! In this game, you can create everything; you are the protagonist!]

As soon as Si Yisi put down his knife and fork, he felt another will descend upon his hands, which made his body stiffen for a moment.

Luo Xinxiu is back.

Si Yisi knew this very well, and a sudden urge to watch the show welled up within him. His gaze paused abruptly as it fell upon the panel in the void—

At this moment, half of the gray area around the player on the NPC/player icon has been unfrozen.

Luo Xinxiu had already planned what he would do; he wouldn't play recklessly like a casual gamer. He genuinely liked the stars, and he also wanted to help ease the burden on his family.

At least... it will ease some of the fatigue on Mom and Dad's faces and lessen my sister's disgust.

The first step is to leave the elven village and head to the human territory. Elves are rather aloof, so their level of information exchange and other aspects is not as advanced as that of races like humans.

There are notice boards in human cities, and Luo Xinxiu had done his homework in advance, preparing to go there as soon as possible.

Yeah, run faster, or someone else with a similar ambition will snatch the opportunity away.

Run fast... one.

Luo Xinxiu paused, staring blankly at the familiar palace before him—clearly the dilapidated yet once magnificent palace from the previous expansion.

The patterns on the walls, the wall lamps, and the dining table are all exactly the same.

This sudden situation left Luo Xinxiu momentarily stunned; he thought blankly:

Was he captured by the Demon King and made a servant while he was offline?

But if he's a servant, why is he sitting at the dining table? Is the Demon King really that approachable?

Judging from the dangerous and beautiful appearance of the elven woman guarding the Demon King in the expansion pack, she was definitely someone who could be ruthless and merciless.

Freya looked at Luo Xinxiu and asked softly, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with the prepared ingredients?"

Was it that the food she prepared did not meet the king's expectations? Freya was slightly disappointed.

Luo Xinxiu: "?"

Before he could recover from this state, Luo Xinxiu felt the familiar sensation of being controlled by a lewd person.

Si Yisi took a sip of wine and shook her head: "It suits my taste perfectly, Freya."

"That's good."

"Eat quietly, don't disturb Freya." Si Yisi spoke to Freya while also exchanging words with Luo Xinxiu.

"? You are...?" Luo Xinxiu was already completely dumbfounded.

"Have you forgotten what I said? I am your game account, Broken Brush and Ink, currently playing the role of Dark King Si. So, do you believe what I said now?"

Luo Xinxiu: "..."

His gaze seemed to be unfocused.

I believe it, why wouldn't I?

In the short time I was offline, my account, which had become sentient, transformed me from an ordinary elf into a notorious demon king known to all players... It's unlikely that hackers or even the official Stellar Online game team could achieve this level of power.

It feels surreal. What exactly happened while I was away?

Luo Xinxiu suddenly remembered the introductory message when logging into the game—

You are the protagonist.

His game account is the one that's truly being favored, right?
