MMORPG: The Tales of Souls

The four kingdoms were shaken by the world announcement, those outside the royal palace did not know what had happened, the only thing they knew was that the current rulers of the orc kingdom were killed and the kingdom players needed to choose a candidate, and support him to rise to the throne. This was a kingdom quest that could not be refused, but only those at level 300 could receive and accept the quest.

So many groups began to split and choose the most suitable candidates for them. The race for the throne began in the orc kingdom.

…

While the orc kingdom was in chaos, the other three kingdoms did not stand still, they began to bribe the players of the orc kingdom to learn more about the state of the kingdom.

At the same time, influential groups were trying to figure out quests similar to what the black-clad player with the skeleton did. They want to try to see if there was any way to change the dynasties of other kingdoms as well.

For the ultimate reward was something everyone was wanting. Why would they let the orc kingdom be the only one to receive these benefits?

…

While this kind of thing was happening in the capitals of the kingdoms.

Liu Yang had reached the white elf territory, but he left the desert and went into the forest after arriving. This was because the group was already getting tired and out of supplies to withstand the infernal heat of the desert.

Luckily, the White Sands Desert wasn't very big, and it only took a few days for them to reach the nearby desert forest. One of the things that helped Liu Yang was the fact that the world announcement has made the players of the kingdom of white elves focus on seeking questions about the kingdom rulers' dynasty change.

After nearly a month of traveling on high speed, and encountering some giant desert creatures, Liu Yang and his group finally found signs of green trees along the way. The name of the place he arrived is called the Endless Sea of ​​Forests.

The forest was named after it because it was the largest forest in the kingdom of white elves and covered about thirty percent of the entire kingdom. Currently, Liu Yang was at the end of the forest.

The group had to rest after their long journey through the desert, Alesali and Silali used their powers and created a small house underground, which was to prevent them from being seen by the white elves. It could cause a big problem.

So the group rested in various ways in the underground house.

…

During the time Liu Yang spent traveling in the desert. In the real world, many things have happened.

One was the fact that two more jewels were found in the Federation of Independent Nations, and one in the kingdom of orcs. This shook the four kingdoms, especially when the power of the jewel's guardians was shown.

Millions of players were sacrificed but unsuccessful in getting the jewel. The only thing the players received was loss of some levels when being killed by the jewel guardians.

Another fact was that Liu Yang's school was preparing for the quarterly events, that is, the events that happened every four months, these events were basically so that students not only focus on the game, they also need interactions in the world real, otherwise students would have difficulty socializing later in the real world.

Time passed quickly since the day Liu Yang had his first day of school.

While not talking to or playing with his classmates much, Liu Yang still fits a bit with his classmates. His three colleagues managed to pass the guild selection tests. Liu Yang was happy for them because they succeeded due to their efforts.

The three and a few others received rewards from the school for this. This generated envy and jealousy from the other students, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Since Liu Yang's character was so far from the human kingdom, he couldn't attend school events, he just said he wouldn't have time for that and would be leveling. The school didn't mind some students not wanting to attend school events, that was a normal thing to happen.

So time went by slowly, months went by, and Liu Yang kept writing fake reports for the school, he lost many chances of being invited to influential groups because of it. Because many other groups also did the same thing as Rose and Tears on Sky, visiting schools more often, as they knew it was possible to find good players by visiting schools.

As their friends were busy doing their work, they didn't have time to play together, even though they played only once together, the group only talked casually at school, usually, the subject was about what the three were doing. In doing so, Liu Yang always said that he was doing quest and leveling, as he didn't have much to do and wasn't interested in manual skills.

That was Liu Yang's daily life, monotonous and tedious. But that wouldn't be like this forever, at least not after three years in the real world. But this is history for another time.

…

As the four months passed, the week of student integration would begin, Liu Yang didn't like these things very much because he was an introvert, but as the school forced students to socialize at least four times a year. He felt compelled to go.

This integration was nothing more than a small meeting event for students to distract themselves. There was no class in these five days, but there were lectures by important guests.

These lectures were given by famous players who had something to teach the students, some of them belonged to famous guilds and some not. Some of them had hand skills to give students tips, while others were versatile in combat and other skills.

…

Liu Yang and his three colleagues talked about the event, they wanted to see which lectures were interesting to see. Some lectures interested the four, but as there were other interesting lectures at the same time, some had to attend alone because they preferred to hear other things.

After checking all the lectures, Liu Yang decided to attend ten lectures throughout the week, each of which had four hours of presentation. Four of these lectures, Liu Yang would attend along with his friends, while the rest was alone, as these lectures interested him.

The next few days of class were normal, but the students couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes as some of their youth idols would visit the school to give lectures.
