When Dyon heard that the Earl wanted to tackle an abandoned storyline, a wisp of a smile flashed within his eyes.

The reason for this was obvious. The Earl must have really taken him for a fool.

From what Dyon had observed in just a few moments, everything in this place perfectly followed the laws of cause and effect. If this was really like any normal video game from his mortal world, as an example, not to mention that failing wouldn’t matter, even if multiple people succeeded it wouldn’t be much of a problem either. Those kinds of games were created with the suspension of belief in mind and attempted to dampen realism in exchange for a more fun experience.

However, this place was completely different. Even though it was designed not much unlike a game, fun was most definitely not the objective of this place. Instead, they all represented countless tests set by Yin Soldier Immortal God.

If a storyline was abandoned, getting it back on track was nearly impossible. In fact, it might have veered so far off course by now that completing it was nothing but a dream. And, this was already the case if this was an abandoned storyline of the last entry into this immortal legacy world.

If the entry was several times back, meaning that there had been several openings since this storyline was abandoned, that it would most definitely be all the more impossible to succeed. Every time this legacy world opened, the timeline of this city would move forward, incrementally increasing the already impossible to clear difficulty.

“This is probably a pipe dream of mine.” The Earl said somewhat somberly. “This storyline was abandoned during the 2nd entry and has passed through many hands, it’s only for this reason that a small character like me could finally get a chance at it.”

Hearing these words, Dyon’s internal sneer deepened. But at the same time, he was intrigued.

Even though he was on guard against this Earl, it was easy to see that if he dared to act against him, it would mean that he had made a great number of preparations. Simply put, it was impossible that this storyline the Earl spoke of was fake. In fact, Dyon believed every word that came out of the Earl’s mouth.

As ironic as it might sound, the best way to lie was to tell the truth! Even with the protection against his Eostre bloodline, the Earl didn’t dare to act recklessly just yet.

Dyon nodded faintly. “What is it that you need me to do, get to the point.”

“The first task in trying to complete an abandoned storyline is to find where the uncompleted thread is currently. For that, we need your calculative abilities. The jade holds all of the information we could gather on this storyline, we hope that you can find the optimal place for us to remove this grace and start off on the right foot.”

Dyon took the jade from the Earl’s hand. In a moment, he was completely immersed into the story.

According to this jade, this storyline was related to a love triangle between a certain General Rollant, a Monk Rab, and a woman by the name of Johna.

This was already ridiculous enough of a start. It would be fine if Johna was charming enough to attract a general, but a monk? What kind of monk were you really if you were pulled into a love triangle like this one?

But, the reality was even weirder than this. Because the love triangle wasn’t what Dyon expected at all. He had allowed his own initial biases to cloud his judgment. It wasn’t the monk and the general who were both pursuing Johna, but rather Johna and the general who were both pursuing the monk.

Getting to this point, Dyon already didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed he had falsely accused this monk. It wasn’t his fault that his charm was great enough to attract both genders. Maybe he was just trying to live his life of abstinence and meditation in peace while these two refused to stop bothering him.

However, could that really be the case? For there to still be suspense in this love triangle, there had to be some reciprocation, even if it was a small bit. In the end, Dyon couldn’t help but believe that this monk wasn’t so innocent in all of this. And, when he learned of their identities, not only did Dyon’s expression grow more serious, but he became even more certain of those thoughts.

In this Yin City, there were four centers of power and each was formidable to the extreme.

First there was the military. They were the forces who repelled the demon armies and kept Yin City safe from the outside world. They held extraordinary power, and they were led by… Commander General Rollant.

The second was the underground world. They controlled everything from the prostitutes that called the corners of their home at night to the crime rings that moved all sorts of illegal contraband. And they were led by… Lady Johna.

The third was the city government. They were controlled by the Nobles and the City Lord. They managed the laws of the city’s surface world.

And lastly… There were the Temples. They were the religious force of this world and worshipped the mighty Yin God. And they were led by… Archmonk Rab…

What a love triangle indeed… It read more like a ticking atomic bomb to Dyon.
