"I see..."
Linda thought that Lin Xi and the others dared to summon the Goddess of Dawn because they couldn't see the records of other adventurers' failed wishes.
After they make their wishes, since they are not 'players', even if they destroy or take the logbook, everything will be reset when other adventurers enter the Dark City.
Until I appeared.
Linda had a premonition that if she took the logbook with her, the adventurers who came in after her would never see the item again.
"Even though we don't know what the specific purpose is, we'll take everything we can."
Linda turned to the next page while thinking to herself.
“It’s Tina!” Monica said.
She could only see the name of the person making the wish, Tina.
This team member was a household name in the original adventure team, and was one of Linda's right-hand men.
He served as the original vice captain.
Even though Monica spent most of her time in the warehouse, she still knew Tina's name.
A beautiful girl from the angel race.
What impressed Monica the most were Tina's black wings and her terrifying scythe.
On the day the group disbanded, Tina stole the cucumber from Linda's room, and it's unknown what she did with it.
"What did Sister Tina wish for?" Monica asked Linda with great interest.
"...Unknown."
"Huh?"
Contents unknown.
Linda squinted, and what came into view was a line of large text from the system notification:
[The content of Wish No. 73 was erased three years ago.]
Three years ago, exactly the time when the Dark Shadow disappeared and Linda traveled through time.
Linda wouldn't dare say that the disappearance of the Dark Shadow was definitely related to Tina, but there was at least a 90% chance.
If it wasn't a bad wish, why deliberately erase it?
Furthermore, Linda noticed something amiss: how did Tina get back to the fourth floor?
Unless you change your class, reset all levels.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to climb the World Tree a second time.
The higher the level, the greater the risk of resetting the level.
Dispersing all the fighting spirit and magical power in one's body is no easy task.
After level 20, the failure rate is 99%.
After level 50, the failure rate was almost 100%.
Linda's impression of Tina was that she was the kind of player who was obsessed with strength and would never reset her level just to return to the fourth floor.
Many mysteries surround it.
Linda thought to herself that perhaps she could only ask Tina in person when she returned to the capital.
Before she gained sufficient strength, Linda wouldn't easily approach her opponent. Who knows if those five-star team members would seek revenge if they saw her become so weak?
As a PC game featuring mostly beautiful female characters, "Secret Realm Continent" offers characters to satisfy various player preferences, such as Tasia, who enjoys looking down on others as lowly "noobs," and Tina, who has an extremely strong possessive streak...
In Tina's personal storyline, there is a scene called "Wanting to turn the Captain into a toy that belongs only to her".
If Linda's identity is exposed, she will most likely not have a good ending.
"I'm here to investigate Lin Xi's whereabouts. Tina is too far removed from my current situation, so let's ignore her for now."
Linda took a deep breath and turned to the next page.
What wish did my younger sister make that led to her mysterious disappearance?
...
Something's not right.
This 'copy' is quite strange.
"Tricia, are you there? I need to see you!"
Linda closed the journal with a livid face, staring at the dark ceiling above her head, and shouted in her heart.
As the World Tree Goddess, Tricia should be able to hear the voice of the world's will on this continent.
What Linda wants to know most right now is: Was this fourth level really created by Tricia using divine power? Or is it that even Tricia herself cannot control the contents of the secret realm?
The fourth level, within the game, is a chaotic and disorderly roguelike realm. Even the game developers don't know what it will look like the next time they enter.
The Dark City is a mysterious and twisted place, filled with evil and the enigmatic Dawn Goddess who grants wishes.
These things were probably all beyond Tricia's expectations.
The ritual offerings for summoning the Goddess of Dawn require the heart of an extraordinary being, the head of a young boy... No matter how you look at it, these are things that evil gods would like.
Tricia, as a loving mother goddess, shouldn't be doing this.
Linda called out to the void again and again.
But it's like a child who's good at fantasizing raising their hands to unleash 'Shinra Tensei'—no matter how hard they fantasize, it's useless.
'Is it impossible to send a private message to Tricia without the goddess statue?'
Linda clicked her tongue in frustration.
To find out the truth, it seems the only way is to clear the fourth floor and go to the Adventurers' Guild to ask the goddess statue.
"What did you find in the log?" Kaphni's curiosity was piqued when she saw him pacing around and scratching his head.
"I have come to two conclusions."
"The first one is about the Goddess of Dawn. In this hidden storyline, adventurers can make a wish to her. The simpler the wish, the easier it is to succeed."
"For example, if I want a level one magic core, then I will definitely succeed."
Linda analyzed it step by step.
"A complicated wish?" Monica blinked and asked.
"I guess it will fail."
Kaphni said calmly.
"That's right."
Linda nodded. "If you wish for a beautiful young girl as your wife, you might just turn into a beautiful young girl yourself."
"The more complex and difficult the desire, the easier it is to be distorted and achieved in another way. Look, you have a wife and a beautiful girl, but it's just yourself. There are also those who become stronger but turn into walls, those who want to revive their teammates but end up meeting in hell... Nine out of ten fail."
