Miss Player, please don't cast spells on me.

After analyzing everything to the very end, all the conclusions boil down to one truth, which is…

The reason why Shanor disappeared starting from the third playthrough is most likely because he went to greet new players from other playthroughs!

Although this conclusion seems a bit far-fetched, the player named 'Great Writer Snow Island' who put forward this viewpoint analyzed it very logically.

This player named Snow Island appears to be a content creator who specializes in researching and analyzing games.

After getting hooked on "Rose Kingdom" and becoming a fan of Shanor, she became a key figure in digging into Shanor's background among players.

Qingye Hui was speechless as she looked at her analysis in the group.

First, everyone needs to understand that each AINPC character has an interaction limit.

"It's like when a new player wants to play Shanor's route and finds themselves unable to find Shanor, it's because the interaction limit for AINP is full, and you have to wait in a queue for a while before you can get a turn."

Normally, this setting shouldn't affect the interaction between game characters.

'But Shanor is clearly an NPC with meta elements, meaning he breaks the fourth wall.'

The proof is that starting from the second playthrough, Shanor occasionally addresses the player character as "Miss Player," and he is also aware of save/load systems and looping mechanics.

'That proves that Shanor, as an AINP, has extremely high privileges in the game.'

"However, due to his limited computing power, in order to serve more players, he would choose to ignore players who had already completed their three playthroughs—the old woman locked in the dungeon demanding a kiss from Shanor—and instead start new romances with new players in their first playthrough."

That's really impressive.

Kiyono Gray finished reading the player's analysis.

Although she explained it by saying that there is a limit to the interaction of AINPC, she has already analyzed the truth behind Shanor's disappearance in the third playthrough very clearly.

In her analysis, what Shanor, the AINP, did was to allow more new players to experience Shanor's storyline and the charm of this character.

But... in the eyes of those veteran players who have already completed their third playthrough and are completely enamored with Shanor...

Isn't this just starting something and then abandoning it?!

Alright! You little rascal... You've got my heart completely captive, thinking I'm trapped in your dungeon, and now you're off to find some new woman to have fun with?!

Despite Snow Island's attempts to reassure the female players in the group with explanations like, "This might be a technical issue; Shanor is a newly created AINPC and doesn't have that much computing power,"...

But the group chat was quickly flooded with messages like "the worst!" and "scumbag!"

Kiyono felt that if he didn't do something soon, Shanor's reputation might collapse before the performance ended.

"That's why the most dangerous person in the world is... a warrior of pure love!"

Kiyono Gray couldn't help but sigh. As a staunch warrior of pure love, Kiyono Gray could understand the feelings of the female players at this moment.

Because no one can bear the thought of their beloved locking them in a dungeon and then turning around and getting intimate with other women.

Any female player would be furious just thinking about it.

Sigh... Kiyono Hai should probably show the players the final ending of the third playthrough to give them an explanation.

You want pure love? Then I'll put on a show for you. Come on... it's time for the purest love episode!

…………

The female protagonist chosen by Kiyono Gray was none other than the player named 'Snow Island'.

Beneath this magic academy lies a maze-like area for players, and at its deepest point is where Qingye Hui imprisons player characters from the third playthrough.

Besides the dungeon, there is also an abandoned magic garden at the deepest part of the maze.

After acquiring a large number of daily necessities in this magical garden, Qingye Hui began to use forbidden alchemy to create several human bodies.

The initial preparation steps are complete.

Qingye Hui then gave the other four male protagonists in "The Principality of Roses," namely the guys with the Black Wolf Mask, an opportunity to completely destroy Shanor's reputation and defeat him.

That's the chance to rescue Miss Player!

Previously, the dungeon where Kiyono Hai and Sakai Iori were in their third playthrough was located near the academy, so they were able to easily break into the dungeon and take Kiyono Hai away.

Now that Shanor has locked every third-time player deep inside the labyrinth, their combat power and influence are simply not enough to reach the core of the labyrinth.

Now, Shanor tossed the teleportation key that led directly to the core of the labyrinth to the man with the black wolf mask.

"Come on, come on, the most perfect closing performance."

After Kiyono finished doing all this, his consciousness returned to reality, and he began to pay attention to Ms. Yukishima's movements.

As a live streamer, Xuedao's online identity also seems to be that of a VTuber, or virtual streamer.

Therefore, no matter what game she plays, she will choose to live stream the entire process and share it with her viewers.

Today, Snow Island is broadcasting live as usual, with the title 'The Eighth Day of Escaping from the Underground Prison.'

"While we can't judge an AI by human standards, if Shanor really locks me up here to go find new women to have fun with..."

"I'll livestream myself breaking game discs, okay? If breaking them isn't enough to vent my anger, how about I set them on fire afterward?"

"Break up now? Not now! We need evidence, do you understand? We'll break up after I figure out how to escape the dungeon and catch that brat in the act!"

Xuedao was making some grand pronouncements to her fans in the live stream...

If Xia Nuoer really has an NTR storyline, I'll immediately lead a cyberbullying campaign against the game company and say things like that.

Then, as if the game developers had heard her words, the prison gates that held Miss Snow Island imprisoned were finally broken open by the four bento-men from "Rose Kingdom"!

"Huh, isn't this the Bento Four?" Miss Yukishima's first reaction upon seeing the four was, "How are you still alive?"

This greeting left the Black Wolf Mask, who had come specifically to rescue her, completely speechless.

But Black Wolf Mask still tried his best to maintain a kind smile on his face.

Because he knew this was their only chance to defeat Shanor in this performance!

If the female players find out that Shanor is seeing other women, Shanor's popularity in the game will collapse instantly.

"Lord Snow Island, are you alright? That monster has imprisoned you here. We're planning to go and defeat her together. Would you like to come?" the Black Wolf Mask said respectfully.

What? A campaign against Shanor? If it were any other time, Snow Island would definitely be the first to disagree.

But she still has viewers in her live stream, and they really want to know what Xia Nuoer is doing now!

So Snow Island accepted Black Wolf Mask's invitation and, led by the Bento 4, made their way to the deepest part of the maze.

A magical garden filled with flowers that emit a pale blue light.

On the snowy island, she finally met Shanor, who had kept her locked up for eight days.

Then this Miss Yukishima witnessed a scene that infuriated her!

At this moment, Shanor is in the garden, embracing a woman and dancing gracefully in the very center of the garden!

Good...good!! You little rascal, you really locked me in the dungeon while you secretly went off to have fun with other women!!

At that moment, Xuedao felt like she was about to explode with anger.

When she was about to rush over to confront Shanor, she saw the face of the girl Shanor was holding, and then... Miss Snow Island froze on the spot.

Because the girl Shanor was holding in his arms, dancing gracefully with him, was none other than Miss Snow Island herself! To be precise, it was the game character she had created!

What... is going on? Isn't my character supposed to be under my control here?

wait wait wait!

With her exceptionally keen observation skills, Xuedao immediately noticed that the 'Xuedao' in Shanor's arms was wearing an evening gown.

That was the dress she made herself when she invited Shanor to the noble ball during her first playthrough. You can't find another one like it in the whole game!

Upon realizing this, Xuedao's mind went blank for a moment, and tears welled up in her eyes even before she could think of anything.

Because Shanor did indeed cheat, but the person he cheated with wasn't anyone else, but the player from the previous playthrough and the one before that.

The character that Xia Nuoer was holding was indeed the Snow Island character from her first playthrough. However, without her control, the Snow Island character from her first playthrough had become extremely dull-eyed, like a doll with no reaction whatsoever.

But that doesn't matter, even though she no longer has a soul, even though she will no longer respond to anything from Shanor.

But in Xia Nuoer's eyes, this older sister named Xuedao, who rescued him from his painful life, is still as beautiful as ever, just like in the previous two weeks.

PS: This is an overload update because some readers said they didn't understand the plot of the first two chapters, so I released the sequels first. Therefore, there will only be one update tomorrow. And please, please read on! Please read on! Please read on! Reading on is the lifeblood of this new book! So, dear readers, even if you're just waiting, you can still check the latest chapter every day for a while _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 27 Why are you players only thinking about yourselves?

Although Xuedao had already guessed a possibility that would bring her to tears.

But she still needed to confirm it in person.

Snow Island stood at the edge of the garden, watching Shanor and her character from her first playthrough finish the dance.

After finishing her dance, Shanor, like a princess's bodyguard, gently helped the first-time Snow Island to sit down on a chair.

"You...you still came."

At this moment, Shanor spoke up, though his back was to Xuedao himself.

The moment Shanor spoke, terrifying magic formed invisible spikes that pierced through the four bento-like figures beside Xuedao.

Snow Island was already used to the four-person bento group dying tragically at the hands of Shanor.

She had no interest in whether these guys lived or died.

Snow Island cautiously approached Shanor, adjusting her perspective to observe the garden.

She then realized that sitting in the garden was not only the 'Snow Island' from the first playthrough, but also the second, third, and fourth playthroughs...

"Xianor, what's going on with them...?"

Xuedao asked Xia Nuoer with some uncertainty, a question that was destined to bring her to tears.

“They are all you, Snow Island.”

As she spoke, Shanor began to introduce herself to Xuedao.

"This is you in your first timeline, this is you in your second timeline, and this is you in your third timeline..."

Is that really true?!

Xuedao stood still, carefully observing the characters from her previous four playthroughs. She discovered that none of them seemed to be dead; the slight rise and fall of their abdomens proved that they were still breathing.

Not only did her characters from the first four playthroughs not die, but Shanor also picked up a bowl of white porridge from the table and fed it to one of the 'Snow Island' characters with extreme gentleness.

This 'Snow Island' seems to have only a very weak sense of self, able to open its mouth and swallow, but it is no different from a person in a vegetative state.
