Even in such a dark night, the lamp did not provide much light.

Even Ye Mi's hand holding it had no shadow.

She placed the soul lamp on a small table and sat on a chair beside the table, watching the flickering flames without blinking.

After an unknown amount of time, she actually saw pictures in the firelight.

There are families reuniting, children playing...

There is a free spring breeze blowing on the willow trees, the mountains are high and the water is clear, and the ice and snow are melting...

All this seems to be telling of the good old days.

Because next, Ye Mi saw countless people displaced.

Countless natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hail, etc. occurred everywhere.

After watching the last part, Ye Mi felt confused and regretful.

The picture disappeared, and all she could see was the flame again.

However, this flame seemed to be even dimmer than before.

Then, Ye Mi heard a voice.

It was exactly the same voice that had called her a "lucky child" before.

Next.

She heard a story.

**

There once was a place.

There are countless races living there.

There are humans, elves, orcs, dragons, goblins...

They have lived with the animals for thousands of years.

Until one day, countless disasters suddenly broke out in that place.

Countless people and animals lost their homes and were unable to survive.

Just when they thought the world was about to be destroyed, a god stood up.

No one knows what he did.

After that, these disasters seemed to have stopped happening.

A few years later.

This place has become as beautiful as it was at the beginning.

**

Just like the mission says, this is a story.

The story is very brief and without any embellishment.

Ye Mi felt that there seemed to be a lot of information hidden in this story.

for example……

Why did countless disasters break out in that place?

What did that god do?

Is he still alive now?

If he thought further, Ye Mi could even imagine boldly.

Is that god the ancient god?

Is the place in the story the Desolate Game?

…

Unfortunately, before Ye Mi had time to think about this question, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

She subconsciously used her skills to dodge.

When she looked back, she saw that the chair she had made was broken into pieces.

Then, she felt a dangerous aura again.

However, this breath gradually disappeared as the soul lamp slowly lit up.

Because it was night and the visibility was poor, she couldn't see clearly what was happening.

Squinting my eyes, I could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a black aura surrounding the soul lamp.

Ye Mi was sure that it was this black energy that had just attacked her.

For some reason, the black energy stopped attacking after seeing the soul lamp.

I saw the black air circling the soul lamp again and again. In Ye Mi's eyes, it felt like a pair of...

Intimate lovers?

She was amused by her own strange thoughts.

Then, in the blink of an eye, she heard the system sound indicating that her task was completed.

At that moment, the soul lamp seemed to be picked up by someone and hung in front of her.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for completing the mission [Inheritance of the Ancient God]. An announcement will be made to the entire server soon. Do you want to hide your name?"

"yes."

[Server Announcement] System: "Congratulations to a certain player for successfully completing the SSS-level main quest and opening a new chapter in the Desolate Game."

[Server Announcement] System: "In one hour, the game will be updated for a day. Please pay attention to the official announcement for more information."

Ye Mi turned off the noisy world channel and looked at the soul lamp seriously.

The soul lamp flickered slightly, and Ye Mi seemed to hear a word of thanks.

Then she watched the black gas carrying the soul lamp disappear.

Only Miyiko was left standing there blankly with a confused look on her face.

Ye Mi, who received the thank-you card inexplicably, looked at the update incident he had caused and quietly logged off.

The game cabin's warning light flashed blue.

The outer protective shell slowly opens.

She was thinking about tiptoeing back to the room to rest, but when she came out of the game cabin, she saw Jiang Yan looking at her with sharp eyes.

He bent one leg, rested his elbow on his knee, and supported his chin with his wrist.

"Ahem...did I wake you up?" Ye Mi thought that he was making too much noise and disturbed his rest, so he felt a little embarrassed.

"I just got up to drink some water and saw your game cabin was lit."

The truth was that he hadn't slept at all.

He had just been using his computer to handle some business, but when he heard some noise in the bedroom, he turned off the computer.

I didn't expect to see her playing the game.

"Can't sleep?" Jiang Yan stood up, and the quilt hanging on his legs slid onto the sofa.

Ye Mi didn't know whether it was better to tell the truth or a lie at this time.

However, Jiang Yan didn't seem to be prepared to listen to her answer. He took the cup and poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

Ye Mi subconsciously took it and took a sip, then looked down and saw that the cup in his hand was not his.

This water cup is new to her today.

Prepared for this person.

After understanding this, Ye Mi felt that the water cup in his hand was very hot.

"No more drinking. I'm going to sleep first." She felt that the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

She decisively stuffed the cup of water into his hand, then turned around and quickly walked back to the room.

Behind.

After Jiang Yan finished drinking the remaining half glass of water, he went back to the sofa.

**

For several days, Jiang Yan stayed at her place.

Ye Mi slowly discovered that there was one more person in his life.

Two water cups, two pairs of slippers, two pairs of bowls and chopsticks...

He is slowly getting into his own life.

In this regard, Ye Mi was uncomfortable at first but eventually got used to it.

She had gotten used to Jiang Yan rubbing her head every morning when she woke up drowsily, and then giving her a light kiss on the forehead.

The relationship between the two people gradually became closer in their daily interactions.

After the maintenance that day, Ye Mi specially read the official announcement.

In addition to regular bug fixes, the biggest change in this update is the addition of a second career change.

Of course, this is what players call the second turn.

The official term in the game is "career advancement".

Each of the first five professions has two advancement directions.

When players reach level 30, they can choose to advance.

Warriors can be advanced into berserkers or axe warriors.

Assassins can be upgraded to Shadow Assassins or Light Assassins.

Archers can be upgraded to Swift Archers or Strong Shield Archers.

A wizard can advance to become a sorcerer or magician.

Star Spirits can be advanced into Star Controlling Spirits and Moon Guiding Spirits.

After reading the brief introduction of the ten new professions, Ye Mi discovered that the martial arts of these ten professions corresponded exactly to the ten martial arts hanging on the wall that they had seen in another ancient temple.
