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

I decided to write this book because I had a bunch of fun ideas in mind.

However, during the creative process, it is inevitable to experience immense pressure and anxiety. For example, after today's update, some readers commented that "today's plot was not as intense as the part in Shanor Village."

All I can say is that today's plot is still setting the stage, laying the groundwork for the character of the Sheep Palace, and the spoiler is that it's about his motives for being evil.

The storyline in Shanor Village, on the other hand, is a complete emotional release after accumulating feelings, and the two serve different purposes.

As the creator, I am also eager to present the complete story to everyone. However, since it is not yet available for purchase, I cannot update too much at once (6000 words per day is actually a lot during the new book period).

Now let's talk about the future plans for this book.

To be honest, it's rare for a web novel to have each subsequent plot point be more explosive than the previous one, since explosive plot points usually require a long period of build-up before they can be released.

What I can guarantee is that every part of the story will be 'fun', meaning there will be different kinds of fun to watch.

From the initial frenzy of players towards Shanor, to the collapse of the swordsmen in Shanor Village, to the current shift in the relationship between the Sheep Palace and the Black Sword Knights, and the subsequent breakdown of the Black Sword Knights' defenses, even including the later twisted lesbian scenes.

I can guarantee that each subsequent plot point will have different moments of humor, after all, that was the original intention behind this book.

So I would like to ask everyone to relax and enjoy reading.

Due to personal reasons, I was under tremendous pressure writing this book, to the point that I was anxious every day.

However, I don't want my own pressure and anxiety to affect the fun atmosphere of this book, because only when I am happy can I bring happiness to the readers.

In short, thank you all again for your support. I truly hope this book will last a long time and that I can continue to enjoy it. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 55 I am your only support

At this moment, Noon Hiyomi felt a slight throbbing in her head, and her hands, which had been slamming the keyboard and mouse, were also aching slightly.

Just as Noon Hiyomiya's mind went blank and crashed, a soft, gentle voice suddenly entered her ears.

"Sister Yang Gong, you really are... just as bad at handling things as before."

The sound instantly snapped Hiyomiya Noon out of her daze.

When she came to her senses, she found that the bloody scene on the computer screen that had almost driven her to the brink of collapse was gone.

The sea of ​​flowers, which had been dyed scarlet, has returned to its pure white state. The destroyed life-freezing pods have all been restored, and the Shanor inside is now peacefully asleep.

Meanwhile, Noon Hiyomiya saw a figure she knew very well squatting in front of her character.

Shanor.

However, this Shanor was a little different; his eyes were not purple, but a pure scarlet like those of Yotomi no Oto.

"You... are?" Yang Gong Nao didn't understand his identity for a moment. This "you are" was equivalent to asking who Xia Nuo was.

"I am Shanor, you know. Strictly speaking, I am Shanor who inherited part of your soul and body, but there's not much difference."

The role that Kiyono Hai is currently playing is actually Unit 1 of Hitomiya Noon, who inherited Shanor's soul.

However, in order not to cause too much misunderstanding for Noon Hitomi, she directly used Shanor's appearance.

But more than the specific identity of the Xia Nuoer before her, what Yang Gong Nao was more concerned about was…

"Then what I just saw, the boss called the Lord of the End Labyrinth, and the scene where he killed Shanor and the others, were all of that?"

Beneath the questioning tone of Hitomi no Oto, something terrifying was already brewing.

"It's just an illusion, an illusion I created to scare Sister Yang Gong."

With a slight smile, the red-eyed Shanor gently rested her chin on her hand and said in a nonchalant tone that the scene that had almost driven Himegami Noon to the brink of collapse was just an illusion created by Shanor to scare her.

Noon Hiyomi's thoughts faltered slightly again, but her instincts kicked in before her thoughts could process. She immediately controlled her character to grab Shanor's neck with both hands and then slammed his petite body to the ground!

"Are you... are you toying with me?!"

As Yokoko pressed the left mouse button, her actions gradually increased, which was reflected in the game as her character tightening her grip on Shanor's neck.

At that moment, Noon could hear through her earphones... the muscles on Shanor's neck, and the cracking and twisting sound as they were being gradually squeezed.

If a normal person were being choked like that, they would probably have already tried every possible way to fight back.

However, Shanor, whose neck was being tightly gripped by Noon, did not resist.

Not only did Shanor not resist, he even placed one hand on the hand that was on his neck, and reached out with the other hand to gently stroke the cheek of the character.

Yes, this red-eyed Shanor, faced with such brutality from his player, not only did not resist but even laughed.

Yang Gong Nao was stunned by the smile on Shanor's face, while Shanor's voice continued to ring in her ears.

"That's it... Sister Yang Gong, show me all the worst of you. No matter how pathetic, insecure, or cruel you are in real life, I... will accept it all."

Xia Nuoer's words struck a chord with Yang Gong Naoyin, causing her to instantly release her grip on the mouse, leaving her character sitting blankly among the flowers like a broken puppet.

My embarrassing situation, my inferiority complex, inferiority...?

Noon Hiyomiya knew very well that the driving force behind her actions now stemmed less from self-esteem and more from the inferiority complex she felt after falling to rock bottom, and the desire to no longer be ridiculed by others.

Her inferiority complex outweighed all those who loved her, which is why she sought comfort from Shanor in this way.

The more Chanor indulged her, the more outrageous her actions became.

I'm really... utterly awful.

Having figured this out, Yoshimiya Noon controlled her character to stand up, preparing to turn around and leave the sea of ​​flowers.

"Sister Yang Gong, are you just going to leave like this?" Xia Nuoer asked, looking at her with a smile.

"I don't want to be fooled by you a second time, and this place means nothing to me anyway..."

No sooner had Hitomi no Oto finished saying "It's meaningless" than her Shanor mischievously reached out to touch a life freezer next to her.

However, the prepared Yang Gong None used a teleportation skill to appear next to her Shanor and grabbed Shanor's wrist with great force.

"Don't try to provoke me with this! I certainly don't feel any sympathy for Shanor lying in there, but I also deeply despise people like you who casually destroy things that others cherish!" Heimiya Noon said coldly.

To give a more apt analogy, Hitomiya Noon's mindset is like a collection in a museum, or a beautiful and healing urban mural on the street.

Normal people don't feel any 'sympathy' for the collections in museums or those beautiful murals.

But what if you heard that a group of idiots deliberately destroyed exquisite collections in a museum, or that a group of scumbags maliciously altered and blackened the beautiful murals in the city?

This anger, rising from the depths of her heart, is how None Hiyomiya is feeling right now.

"But you're doing this yourself, Sister Yang Gong. My mere act only ruined the life and hope of one Xia Nuoer, but if you conquer the maze, you'll ruin the lives of all Xia Nuoers."

Although Shanor, with his scarlet eyes, always wore a warm smile, Yoshimiya Noon could see the sarcasm behind it.

"What did you say?"

This was the first time that Hitomi no Oto had heard about this. She probably thought that after clearing the bottom level of the dungeon, the dungeon would continue to function the same way.

"The Lord of the End Labyrinth, who is also the core of this labyrinth, will cause the labyrinth to collapse after you kill him, and all the labyrinth artifacts will become ineffective. In other words, the group of Shanor who rely on life-freezing pods to maintain their lives will die on the spot."

When this unforgiving truth was laid bare before Yang Gong Nene, she still asked Xia Nuoer in a cold tone.

Are you trying to morally blackmail me?

"Moral blackmail? How could that be?"

Shanor narrowed his scarlet eyes and continued to smile.

"Even if it were moral blackmail, Sister Yanggong, you need to have some 'morality' for me to use, right? Actually, I know! I know very well that you, Sister Yanggong, actually know a lot about this maze, this game..."

"Completely unconcerned! You haven't taken anything that happened in this maze to heart from beginning to end, so no matter what the final outcome of the maze is, whether you can conquer it or not is less important to you than what you'll eat tonight!"

"..."

After listening to what Shanor had to say, Noon sighed softly and released Shanor's hand.

"Can you switch back to your old purple-eyed mode? You were cuter in that state," said Noon Hitomi.

"Is it cuter? Or is it more enjoyable for you to torture me, Sister Yang Gong? Actually, this mode also has its own kind of fun that you can enjoy. I still hope you can try it out a little before I switch to it," said Shanor, blinking her reddened eyes.

"Never mind, no matter what eye color you have, your personality is inherently terrible."

Noon Hitomiya sat down on her character and opened the Black Sword Knights' team chat voice channel.

"I'll try to persuade the Black Sword Knights not to attempt the final level of the dungeon. We really don't need to waste our time on this boring game," said Noon Hitomi.

That's right, in Noon Hiyomiya's eyes, Dungeon Sanctuary 2 has now become a 'trash' game.

Since it's a 'trash' game, wouldn't it be better for her to just tell the Black Sword Knights to stop playing it?

Wouldn't it be much more enjoyable for everyone to quit this game and go back to "Sacred Stars" to explore the new version instead of torturing ourselves here?

"Is it really that easy to convince them? I remember that the knights of the Black Sword were all hired by a certain lord to explore this labyrinth," Shanor said.

"I'll pay the commission for hiring them!"

Of course, Hitomiya Noon knew that the Black Sword Knights' sudden appearance in the single-player game "Dungeon Sanctuary 2" was definitely at the invitation of the game's operators.

It was still the same kind of invitation that offered money for testing, but even though the Black Sword Knights were hired by someone for this pioneering mission, the compensation for this employment was ultimately just a matter of how much salary they received.

Therefore, Noon Hitomiya plans to pay all the knights in the group's wages herself to force them to quit the game "Dungeon Sanctuary 2".

Whether the entire knights' salaries are five million yen or ten million yen, it's no problem, Noon Himiya can afford it!

"Really? Sister Yang Gong is really reliable, but... if you really can't convince the members of the Black Sword Knights."

If there's really no way to persuade them?

When Yoshimiya Noon sent a message in the team channel, she noticed that the scarlet light in Shanor's eyes, who was sitting in front of her, had become even more dazzling.

Her voice carried a seductive, almost demonic quality, as she spoke.

“I can offer you the final and best solution, Sister Yang Gong. Please remember… no matter when or what happens, I will always be your last resort,” Shanor said.

The ultimate and best solution?

Yokomiya Naon almost asked Shanor what the plan was, but her competitive spirit made her hold back the words.

She couldn't let her Xia Nuoer fool her again!

It's just a matter of persuading the Black Sword Knights to switch to a different game. As long as the salary and compensation are agreed upon, everyone will definitely agree!

Moreover, money is secondary; after all, they are comrades-in-arms who have fought together for three years!

Chapter 56 The Hero Who Slays the Dragon to Marry the Princess

With this in mind, None Hitomi first contacted Mikage, the leader of the Black Sword Knights, via private message.
