Immortal Soul of Steel

Once again, return to the Gnaku dedicated to individual players.

Lin Youde looked around suspiciously.

"So, I was forced to log out?"

I casually opened the system panel and found that the "real-time story mode" was gray and inaccessible as before.

Lin Youde scratched his head in distress.

Just now, he was in the villa by the sea in Orb. I pressed the second option on the settlement panel and received the Contract Ring. With Lux's face flushed with joy, she put it on Lux.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Lin Youde found himself back here from Orb's seaside villa.

This sudden sudden change made Lin Youde distressed.

"I never said before that if I put the ring on Lux, I would come back here directly."

Lin Youde held on to the guardrail and scratched his hair irritably.

Suddenly coming back here filled Lin Youde's heart with worry.

This worry is not just because he has not arranged many things for Orb yet.

It's even more because he came back directly before giving Lux some instructions.

He has no idea what Lacus's situation is now.

In distress, Lin Youde suddenly found that a request from a friend to enter his Gnaku appeared in front of him.

Lin Youde casually agreed to this without caring.

After all, Lin Youde only had a few friends. Everyone is acquaintances, so it’s okay to come here to visit.

However, when the door of Gnaku was opened. The moment Lin Youde saw the man appearing behind the gate, he was stunned.

"Lux?"

"Kira!"

Lux swooped directly into Lin Youde's arms in a weightless state.

"Lux, why are you..."

Holding Lux in his arms, Lin Youde was surprised and happy.

He never thought that Lux would appear in his Gnaku so directly. I never thought that Lux would come so quickly.

Lux raised her head in Lin Youde's arms, her face full of timidity and uneasiness.

"Kira, is this the other world you mentioned?"

"But why does this world look so like a virtual game?"

Holding Lux's shoulder, Lin Youde asked a question instead of answering.

"Lux, why did you come to my Gnaku?"

"What happened after I put the ring on you?"

Lux shook her head in fear, lay in Lin Youde's arms, and explained in a low voice.

"Just after you put the ring on me, I noticed that you disappeared."

"Before I could figure out what was going on, I found myself in a Gnaku similar to yours."

"It's just that the Gnakuli where I am is empty. There is nothing."

"Also, there is suddenly a lot of knowledge in my mind that I didn't know before, and some strange requirements."

Lin Youde was shocked: "Unknown knowledge? Strange request? What is it?"

Lux explained while recalling.

"It's just some common knowledge about the operation of a game called "Machine War"."

"There are also some requirements. Except for the people around you, I am not allowed to tell others what happened in our original world. Similar requirements."

"If I violate these requirements, both Kira and I will be punished or something."

"That's why I'm confused. Kira, is this the world of a game?"

Lin Youde thought for a moment, nodded and replied.

"Yes, this is the world of the game. It can also be regarded as another world."

"But what I told you before was not here, but the world I currently live in."

Lux looked shocked: "The... world that Kira currently lives in?"

Lin Youde organized his thoughts and explained patiently: "Yes, it's like this..."

During the long explanation and patient listening, Lux gradually understood the current situation.

Lux grabbed Lin Youde's clothes and whispered back.

"In other words, Kira was not originally from my world."

"Is it just because of this game that I was replaced by Kira from my world?"

"Your real name is Lin Youde, not Kira, right?"

Lin Youde lowered his head worriedly and looked at Lux whose little hands were trembling slightly.

"Yes, that's roughly it. Lux, I..."

Lux shook her head and put her face against Lin Youde's chest.

"It doesn't matter, I understand. Whether you are Kira or Lin Youde, it is the same to me."

"Because when you and I met, you were already who you are now, right?"

When Lin Youde nodded, Lux was a little troubled.

"Actually, these are all fine."

"According to your statement, this game called "Machine War" may be a peculiar system created by a certain high-dimensional civilization."

"So what happened to you, although a bit bizarre, is not unacceptable."

"It's just that I didn't expect that I was just an NPC in the game. This feeling is really..."

Lin Youde held Lux's hand and said seriously: "No, Lux, you are wrong to think so."

"Before, in your world, my new human telepathy clearly perceived many things."

"From my point of view, you are not an NPC in the game, but a person living in the real world like me."

"It's just that the world we live in is linked together by this game called "Machine War"."

"The world you and I have lived in is real, not false. So, I don't want you to look down on yourself, and don't worry about it."

"We are all real and we are here now."

Listening to Lin Youde's words, Lux hummed softly.

"I understand, I won't think about these things anymore. But..."

Lux raised her head, still looking worried.

"Now that I have left the original world, and we can't go back for the time being."

"Then, what should we do next?"

"Can I... also go to your world?"

Lin Youde whispered uncertainly: "It should be... no problem."

"Lux, look at your personal interface to see if there is a logout button."

Under Lin Youde's teachings, Lux opened her personal interface.

"Ah, I found it. There is indeed a logout button."

Lin Youde put his arm around Lux's shoulders and said, "Then, let's try leaving this game world first."

"I'll quit the game with you. We'll see what happens."

Lux was obviously a little scared, but after her little hand was held tightly by Lin Youde, she still responded with a slightly trembling voice.

"Okay, let's go together!"

They both pressed the exit button at the same time.

Thanks to "Zhu Xia's Privet" for the reward of 1,500 starting coins.
