“Senior… Are you here to get online…?!”
Do I look like someone who is here to get online!!??
The First Elder stared at Elder Sewell and the other elves as he said, “What are you doing here?!”
“Playing online,” Elder Sewell said uneasily, “It means using the mystical realms in the shop…”
“What’s so special about the mystical realms in this shop?” another elf elder said with a snort, “They are all humans’ mystical realms. Are they any different?”
“This mystical realm… is different,” Elder Sewell explained.
“How is it different? I’ve experienced all kinds of mystical realms. What new tricks can it have?!”
“This… is really different…” Sala said uneasily, “You’ll know the difference if you try it…”
“Really?” The First Elder looked at these elves suspiciously. Although he had heard about the theory of treason, he knew that it was just an accusation coming from some industries which were negatively affected by this shop.
However, he wondered what magic power these weird mystical realms had and why the elves came to cultivate in the mystical realm shop named Origins Internet Club everyday.
This was what he wanted to find out.
“Humph! Then, I’ll try it. Tell me how to use this mystical realm.” The silver-haired and silver-bearded elder pointed at the computer before him and said.
– Three hours later –
A shout rose in the shop, “I’m dead! Ah!”
Surrounded by a group of elves, an old elf exited from the mystical realm ashen-faced. “Hiss… this one is indeed different.”
“…” His whole face had turned dark.
…
– Three days later –
“First Elder, do you want to play World of Warcraft? This is fun!”
“First Elder, do you want to try the Legend of Sword and Fairy?! The scenery is superb!”
“First Elder, you might want to try Assassin’s Creed…”
Surrounded by a group of elves, the old elf felt dizzy. “You claim that this is fun and that is classic. Which one should I play then!?”
…
– One week later –
The knights of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion finally returned from their raid with the painting which portrayed the happy family of three.
Then, these people continued the quests that followed.
Among all paladin players in World of Warcraft, this reclusive old paladin was a great hero and one of the paladins from the legends. But in this story, he was only an ordinary father. On the one hand, he lived a reclusive life so that his son wouldn’t be burdened with his father who was accused of treason. On the other hand, he silently directed his son to advance on the right path. The story showed an old man’s love for his family.
At the end of the quest, this old man still couldn’t save his son. This old paladin whose Holy Light was stripped from him had to watch his son die among the Scarlet Crusade.
The reminiscent words of the young paladin as he lay in blood still resonated in the ears of the paladin players. “I always dreamed that my father stood proudly beside me and watched me join the Order of Knights. We fought with swarms of Scourge Legion and brought glory to the Alliance and Lordaeron…”
Something in the players’ hearts seemed to be stirred, and they gained a deeper understanding of Holy Light and glory.
This story began to spread to other players of World of Warcraft.
…
As their explorations went on, the players left footprints in Stratholme, Blackrock Depth, and Zul’Gurub…
The players yelled all through the night when they did the first raid of Molten Core, and they wrote the legendary chapter of slaying dragons in Blackwing Lair. Later, both Alliance and Horde players worked together and opened the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj…
Only one team passed the Naxxramas graveyard.
Now, one and a half years had passed since World of Warcraft was released…
Meanwhile, Dungeon Fighter Online was updated to the version with a maximum level of 70, and the players began to venture from Arad Continent to Empryean.
Of course, the most important thing was that many players had made many new friends in the past one and a half years.
…
Under the influence of the Judgement Godly Palace, every major mages’ forum kept trashing the Blizzard Workshop with passion, and some nations even banned games such as World of Warcraft. But still, there were new players entering the games. Meanwhile, since the Orc Kingdom wasn’t influenced by these hate comments and regulations, even though it was far away, the number of orc players rivaled that of human players from the nearby nations.
The Orc Kingdom had a architectural style totally different from that of the human nations. Their buildings looked coarser and full of strength.
The semi-tribe-like cities looked very special, and the city streets were just as prosperous as those human cities.
Rheinster was a powerful level 8 orc warrior. As an orc from the Lion Clan, he had a strong lion-man’s face, a giant body, and a straightforward personality.
He was a veteran player of World of Warcraft. He still remembered how Mr. Fang reprimanded him when he yelled too loudly while watching Rise of the Horde. It felt as if it had just happened yesterday.
As a veteran player in the shop, Rheinster had started using the communication jade which was said to be imported from the ‘East Continent’. While walking with other orcs on the street with this communication jade in hand, he always looked proud when he saw the passersby’s envious glances.
Right now, his communication jade showed a group chat in QQ named Independent People’s Inn Guild Communication Group. Since QQ had a translation function, these people could talk to each other without problems.
Ye Xiaoye of the Cloud Ocean Faction said, Today, we will raid Naxxramas! Get there on time, guys!
Got it!
Got it!
Do you know that in our orc kingdom, playing World of Warcraft is a great honor! It came from a player with the ID ‘Second Group’s Main Tank Rheinster’.
I’m envious of you, Uncle Rheinster, a mage with the ID ‘Lily’ said.
Here is the latest news! The Burning Crusade – World of Warcraft max level 70! I just got it! A cultivator with the ID ‘Bailang’ posted a short video in the group.
Obviously, he was a veteran player from the old shop.
New version? Are we going on raids again?
Yeah. Ye Xiaoye said, The first group is arranged. Uncle Rheinster, please lead the second group.
Ok! He posted an ‘Ok’ emoji.
“Hahaha! It feels so good to be with these young people! I feel energetic all the time!” Walking on the street in the Orc Kingdom, Rheinster laughed and said to his companions.
At this moment, the ground shook violently.
The land quaked as dark clouds covered the sky!
A black light shot across the air as if it was tearing open the sky.
Countless black birds filled the sky like sun-blocking dark clouds.
In the distant horizon, pitch-black waves swallowed the land and sky like a tsunami.
Also, people seemed to vaguely see meteorites falling to the ground.
Another huge noise sounded.
A communication jade dropped to the ground, still showing the virtual images of the Burning Crusade in which Illidan spread his demon wings and roared before falling into the depths of the abyss that appeared as the ground cracked.
