Ryder entered the Portal to the main realm of Divinity, where the other players did their Quests. He entered the portal with Rale 

Both of them appeared in a dense forest like last time, which was near the Tiara Kingdom. The portal was able to Teleport two times at the same place before it changed the portal location. As it was Ryder's fourth time using the portal to come to this world, he was sent to the same place as last time.

He had entered the Tiara Kingdom to explore the dungeon where he got a [Ring of Disguise] to change his looks. To keep his identity a secret, he had decided to use the ring. 

As he started the game at the start, he hadn't realized that he would become such a shocking player, which would make him the enemy of the public. That was the reason why he didn't customize his looks as much as he could and kept it similar to his real-world looks; however, as he progressed, he realized that it could be bad for him if people found his real life 

He had already gone on a quest where people had seen his Original Avatar's face and knew that he was Hades; when he went to the quest with Shu.

He trusted Shu, and he already knew his real life; however, the people that were with Shu could give his real one to three public, so as to discredit them and let people know about his [Ring of Disguise] he was going out with a different face.

He also happened to make the Princess of Tiara Kingdom, Aslina Windsor, fall in love with him— all according to his plan to have this Kingdom to set his Guild. Even his marriage was set up with the Princess when he left after giving the excuse of a Quest.

"I need to go through the Windsor City to get to Shu. It looks like I'll be meeting Aslina again. I wonder if they'll force me to marry her if I met her," Ryder muttered, wondering to himself.

"Rale, You'll have to stay away from me when we get to the Windsor City since everyone will remember you from the time you kidnapped the Princess. I can't let them know that we're together. Stay within the shadow while keeping some distance," he said to Rale before he reached out his hand towards Rale.

"You'll be carrying me," he let out.

Not wanting to use his limited flying ability, he decided to ask Rale to carry him. He wanted to be able to fly when he actually needed it in the future.

Nodding his head, Rale caught the hands of Ryder before he started flying.

They left the forest and entered the border town of the Tiara Kingdom, which seemed empty, unlike last time. 

'I wonder which guy took the Fragment from this village before the Death Domain people committed a Slaughter here for the treasure. I get suspicions on Lucifer. Where is he, though? I tried searching the entire net to find his locations, roaming through online forums, but no one knows where he is. It's like he had disappeared,' Ryder thought as he looked down at the empty town. 

' If it were like last time, there would've been many people ranting that Lucifer killed them in one place or another; however, there's nothing like that this time. There's no news about him killing anyone within Divinity. According to the forums, even less is known about Lucifer than about me. I've been seen by a few people in Divinity; however, Lucifer is even rare to be seen. It seems almost impossible to find the guy. Where exactly is he?' The more Ryder thought about Lucifer's whereabouts, the more frustrated he got.

As he flew with the help of Rale, he decided to see his notification to see what he missed since he wasn't able to use any of them within the Demon Realm.

"What the heck? 999+ friend requests? I know my username is famous but still! How can I go through important ones within these?" Ryder muttered, frowning. Ultimately, he rolled his eyes and closed the Friend Request without accepting or going through any. 

He didn't know that one of these uncountable notifications was from Alice's account, who was using a different name as her account.

Closing the notifications, he shifted his focus at all the titles he had received so far to see if he needed to equip another title.

"Hmm? [Scamming Hero] [Threatening Monarch] [Decent Speaker]" Ryder muttered as he started reading the titles. "When did I get these titles? I wonder if there's something interesting in any of them."

He opened each of the titles to know more about them 

[Title: Scamming Hero]

[Description: A Scamming Hero who pretends to be a hero to scam people]

[Effects: Once equipped, it can increase Favorability of the Player with the enemies]

"Scamming Hero makes my Favorability increase with my enemies. It can come in handy in certain situations; however, I don't see any use of it for myself."

Finding the first title to be useless, Ryder started reading about the second new title that he had received.

[Title: Threatening Monarch]

[Description: A true monarch that threatens the enemies at their home ]

[Effects: Increase Intimidation by ten percent when equipped]

[Effects: Increase the chances of taming beasts when equipped]

"Chances of Taming Beasts? That seems interesting. If the past is something to go by, a few special classes like Beast Tamers will be appearing. Those are the guys that use beasts to do their battle, sharing the Experience between them. There are still normal players that can learn Taming, but without the Beast Tamer class, the chances of them taming a beast are almost negligible. This Title would probably help them with their chances." Ryder thought about the second title, still not finding it worthy for him to change his title.

"If I'm not wrong, I got it after I threatened the Prince of Death Domain at his own Palace," he muttered before he closed the description and opened a different screen with the description of the third title.

[Title: Decent Speaker]

[Description: Only a person who speaks in front of a large crowd as the main speaker more than five times can be called a Decent Speaker]

[Effects: 0.1 Percent chance of people following your orders without thinking about the good or bad]

"Hmm? This effect is pretty good though. If it can make people listen to my commands without thinking, doesn't it mean I can rule everyone? It would be too much of an overpowered title. However, it only had a 0.1 percent chance of being successful. That's too low," Ryder muttered, shaking his head.

The chances of this effect taking place were almost non-existent. He did not believe that it would come in handy to him. His current title was still more worthy to him if he was to think practically; however, he still decided to equip this title as a Secondary Title while keeping the [Successor of Salem] as his primary title.

After he finished going through all the titles, he closed the screen and went to check his stats to have an accurate idea about how his stats were affected.

"Not too bad," Ryder muttered, smiling as he saw his stats.

'As a level hundred player, I am pretty high, but my stats make me even higher. I wonder if anyone can even take me over in the level ranking. I can finish high-level Quests while the other players are stuck at low-level Quests even without taking the help of Rale,' he thought as he smiled. 

'If I count the help of Rale and the High Dukes, I can even finish the End Bosses, I think. However, I don't know what quests are at those stages and what are the final bosses. Still, on the assumption I should be able to finish them if they aren't too overpowered; counting on the fact that I'm but thinking like a frog at the bottom of the well thinking I have the strongest people while not seeing the true peak yet.'

"Is something concerning you, Your Highness? You seem to be lost in some concerning thought," Rale asked Ryder, noticing his occasional frowning.

"Ah, it's nothing. I've been thinking about the future. Nothing concerning, just something that's making me curious," Ryder replied, casually answering.

****

Rale brought Ryder near the Windsor City, the Royal City for the Tiara Kingdom where the Royal Family stayed; however, he didn't enter the Royal City. 

He and Ryder get down right outside the Royal City as they couldn't be seen inside the city together.

Ryder left Rale behind as he entered the city on his own.

Even though Ryder walked alone, he was sure that Rale was nearby somewhere, keeping an eye on him to keep him safe.

Ryder entered the Windsor City and went straight to the Royal Place.
