Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Mhm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna, teary-eyed, took out her phone and saw that she had received a photo from an unknown number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned and checked it out, but when she saw the picture, her eyes glazed over with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand began to tremble. She squeezed hard on the phone. The screen started cracking around the edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-w-w-w-w-w-what...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the picture, there was also a text that said, \"Mine,\" with a smiley at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... Hahahaha... Hahaha... Ahhhhhhhhhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna screamed hoarsely and threw the phone across the room. It shattered into pieces on the hardwood floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Fang Raon logged back into the Black Online, and everyone else was already online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They linked up, searched for the tower key for about an hour until they found it, and headed straight to the 8th floor’s tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without much problem, they successfully cleared the boss raid, again rolled dice for the items, and headed straight to the ninth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the following week, they grinded floors without really staying in one place for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the real world, Fang Raon’s days were pretty dull, and nothing of interest really happened with Chaewon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had calmed down her advances, and neither of them had made a move towards deepening their relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with his sense of sight back, Fang Raon wanted to visit different places in the Megaworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It cost him quite a bit, but he went to visit Hard Football match over on the 130th floor, and it was quite an experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard Football was one of the most famous sports in the world. It was about kicking a ball towards the opponent’s goal, but at the same time, there was also another aspect to the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was played in virtual reality. Every player had their own selected ’superpower’ they could activate in the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the actual match was happening in the virtual reality, their avatars were still shown in the real world, playing the game in the actual stadium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he couldn’t go there alone, he went with Chaewon. It felt like a date. She was also happy to go there with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several more days, Fang Raon and the party successfully cleared the 13th floor and arrived at the 14th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff... Haah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That was a tough one, guys...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exhausted party stood over the corpse of the 14th floor’s boss, basking in their hard-earned victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were out of breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This raid took them three hours to complete, and it was easily the hardest one so far. It also almost ended badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary was almost dead multiple times, but with the well-timed assistance by Poppy, he somehow survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...At least, we reached our destination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary said, and looked at Fang Raon, who also nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the party looked at them. Conflicted looks on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew about them planning to head only to the 15th floor, so they didn’t know what was going to happen to their party now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Let’s roll the dice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ragnar said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded, and after rolling the dice, they chose their selected items and took the dropped items of the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew... Let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary caught his breath, climbed up the steps, and opened the door that had \"15th Floor\" engraved on its frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the door opened, a gust of cold air gushed out, and they stepped through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they stepped out of the door, they arrived in a warm-looking lodge. It was built with wood, and there was a fireplace crackling with fire at the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were heads of hunted animals on the walls, carpets of various animal skins on the floor, and comfy leather armchairs surrounding the fireplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...This is the 15th floor? It looks so nice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poppy said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary walked to the window, looked outside, and saw the world being completely surrounded in white snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve heard that the 15th floor is very cold, especially at night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...So it’s like the 2nd floor, except on crack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ragnar said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that he was cold-blooded enough to handle the cold of the 15th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the lodge’s door opened, and cold air gushed inside. It made everyone shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, welcome... welcome... travelers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warmly clothed old man said with a smile. He was wearing a fur hat and looked like he was a veteran of these parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the owner of his lodge. I am also your designated guide. If you may, look at the map on the wall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man pointed to the wall next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a map nailed to the wooden wall, and it showed the entirety of the 15th floor. It looked like it had a lot of mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also a lot of forests and roads, but there were also three places on the map that had buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Snowberry Village]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hollyhatch Village]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tinselbrook Village]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, unfortunately, can’t let you stay here, but I can take you all to one of these three villages with my sledge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Where will we go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poppy asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Machary approached the map, looked at the names, and had done enough studying to know where to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Showberry Village is where Rose Records is. Hollyhatch Village is Grinding Grief. Tinselbrook Village is Monsieur Rascal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are we going, Machary? It looks like you already have an idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Snowberry Village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, that is a really nice place. It has some really nice people there. You chose well, I must say, haha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then all stepped out of the lodge, and saw the old man climb inside a sledge that was being pulled by six strong-looking reindeer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hop on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all climbed on, and with that, the reindeer started pulling the heavy sledge through the snowy ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was biting cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-S-S-So cold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quickly change to the winter clothes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all still had the warm clothes from the 2nd floor, and they put them on, but it really didn’t do much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, this place is really cold. It’s now warmer than usual, but in a couple of hours it will turn really cold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","fa631827d16475042c6f77a6281529fb9a732a65fcfde01cf1bd62303379b02e","black-online-chapter-84","black-online-chapter-82",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
