if it weren’t for family opposition, she might have gone pro during college.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she preferred combat over game plots, especially close-quarters melee games with intense combat feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As virtual online games became popular worldwide, she, like many others, became addicted to immersive gaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elf Kingdom” was one of her recent discoveries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she regretted not discovering this blockbuster game sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blame it on being too busy with work recently and getting absorbed in other games, otherwise, I wouldn’t have missed the first test of ‘Elf Kingdom’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, it’s not too late now, and starting late adds to the challenge, doesn’t it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly thinking of something, Moonlight Jasmine smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She enjoyed challenging games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the premise was to avoid long and tedious game plots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always skipped the storylines in games, only interested in leveling up and PK (player killing).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, ‘Elf Kingdom’s’ PK had many restrictions; it required special venues and cost contribution points, which she was slightly displeased with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, even though she never liked PVE (player vs. environment), ‘Elf Kingdom’s’ monster system was incredibly well-made, with realistic combat that was as exciting as traditional PVP (player vs. player), making her very absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was different from the monotonous monster hunts in other online games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ‘Elf Kingdom,’ every battle with a monster was unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Moonlight Jasmine was unaccustomed to such realistic battles, fumbling around clumsily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, like most experienced players, she got the hang of it quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she even had a delusion, thinking that with her combat skills honed in the game, she might be able to show them off in real life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, given her online flamboyance and instant social anxiety in reality, she probably wouldn’t manage…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with her personality, Moonlight Jasmine did not expect to show off in real life; doing so in the game would be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her goal was to reach the top of the power ranking and defeat the long-standing champion, Boxed Lunch, before the next closed or open beta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, being a weekend and not needing to work, she had more leisure time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a shower, finished her takeout, went to the bathroom, and browsed some entertainment news…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking care of matters that could only be handled in reality, Moonlight Jasmine re-entered the pod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The major update’s maintenance time was over, so she could go online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting on her helmet, she uttered the voice command she had said countless times:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Launch—’Elf Kingdom’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Game connection successful…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[New version detected, ‘Elf Kingdom’ 1.9]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Update Log V1: Priest class available…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Update Log V2: Missionary function available…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Update Log V3: Divine Favor system available…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Updating…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding—Update successful]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Logging in…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Game ID: Moonlight Jasmine]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Chosen One, welcome back to ‘Elf Kingdom’!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the familiar system voice, Moonlight Jasmine returned to the virtual world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her view suddenly darkened, and the opening animation of “Elf Kingdom” started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight Jasmine usually skipped the opening animation, watching it only the first time she played a game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as she was about to skip it as usual, something made her pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple, the opening animation of “Elf Kingdom” had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The dev team sure loves their opening animations, creating a new one with every update.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight Jasmine muttered to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, she did not skip it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she didn’t care much for storylines or interacting with NPCs, “Elf Kingdom’s” cutscenes were somewhat interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the way players’ participation drove the storyline to form the opening animation was, in her view, quite an intentional move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, just as she assumed today’s animated sequence would continue to “praise” players’ great achievements, reality surprised her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As ethereal yet profound background music played, the scene unfolded before her…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the scene unfolded, a deep, powerful voice spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the return of the Mother Goddess, I am willing to pay any price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene gradually brightened, revealing a dilapidated chapel, where a stunningly handsome half-elf was praying to a statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, hundreds of hooded elves knelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked solemn, backpacks ready, as if preparing for a long journey…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this?
