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

As Kiyono held the fox girl's small hand and made promises like, "I entrust my life to you from now on,"...

A line of peculiar text suddenly appeared before Kiyono Hai's eyes.

"Wish: Kiyono Gray becomes a deity belonging to 'Dream City' upon the fulfillment of his wish. Wish fulfillment time: 23:59:58"

It was bound to happen! The gods behind "Dream City" finally realized that, instead of trusting the decisions of the God of Light and Exploration, they had gathered a large and powerful army to attack the core of the labyrinth.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to directly target those close to that world-destroying witch?

Kiyono Hai could not possibly be someone that Sayaka-senpai valued, but this fox-like girl, Takigami Rena, was, and even valued Sayaka-senpai to the point that she was willing to die for her.

As for this Miss Fox, although she's not quite that badly injured... I'd guess she'd go to any lengths to protect Kiyono Gray.

But given the power of the gods in "Dream City", even if this Fox God sacrifices everything, can he really protect Kiyono Gray from their threats?

Impossible, right?

It's like the most heartbreaking line in every story of a courtesan's redemption.

“My beloved guest, do you really have enough money... to redeem me? That gentleman paid a much higher price than you.”

But Kiyono Hai was not a courtesan in the end, but a pure person who enjoyed himself.

In fact, the gods behind "Dream City" didn't need to use such a forceful method to drag Kiyono Hui into becoming an actor in "Dream City".

Kiyono Hui himself wanted to play one or two guest roles on the stage of Dream City.

But since "Dream City" actually used such a forceful method to force itself to become the little pet of those magical girls.

No matter how high or low the status of Kiyono Hai is, it would be more appropriate to give them a return gift... It's time for you magical girls with a children's theme to experience the baptism of Witch's Night.

PS: Only one update today~ I had a minor surgery a few days ago, which is a bit tricky. I also need to think about the rest of the plot slowly. Anyway, let's take it slow.

Chapter 65 The Past of the Dream City

Despite the fox lady's earnest dissuasion, Kiyono Hai failed to have sex with the princess in bed, but... he still managed to sit on the bed with her and play games.

The reason she suddenly wanted to play games was because Kiyono Gray mentioned during the conversation... Didn't the members of the Black Sword Knights say before that they wanted to help you get a peace route ending?

Noon Hinami didn't take this matter to heart, but after Hai Kiyono joined the Black Sword Knights' group and sent Noon Hinami a bunch of extremely sincere apology audio recordings made by the Black Sword Knights.

This hard-hearted woman seemed to be slightly persuaded, so with Qingye Hui by her side, she changed her plans for the night from having sex in bed to exploring a maze.

Of course, from a welfare perspective alone, Qingye Hui has enjoyed quite a lot.

Although she could accept the apologies from the Black Sword Knights, a small knot remained in her heart. So, during the exploration, she stayed close to Kiyono Gray, holding the mouse in her left hand and Kiyono Gray's hand in her right.

Kiyono Ash could only help her operate the keyboard, and physical contact in various ways was inevitable in the process.

Fortunately, the members of the Black Sword Knights probably realized that there was a man by their goddess's side, so during the peace campaign, they did their best to make jokes and find topics to talk about.

In short, under this strange atmosphere, the Black Sword Knights successfully completed the Peace Route of "Dungeon Sanctuary 2" and began the story of building Shanor Village.

These powerful knights transformed from labyrinth invaders into labyrinth builders and defenders.

When the Black Sword Knights' village of Shanor was established, the fox lady could finally breathe a sigh of relief for her followers.

Even after the public beta, her followers will still suffer from accidental killings by many players, but most of their souls are protected in these Shanor villages, preventing them from being completely wiped out.

Furthermore, players of the Tea Party have already begun to exert their influence in the public sphere, creating things like previews and spoiler-free guides.

Given their influence and fan base in their respective gaming fields, these preview reviews should guide many players of "Dungeon Sacred 2" to follow the peaceful route as much as possible during their first playthrough.

For players who haven't played "Rose Kingdom", Kiyono Gray has prepared a story development in "Dungeon Sanctuary 2" that is closer to "Undertale".

In short, Kiyono Ash's work on "Dungeon Sanctuary 2" will be over for now.

After Kiyono Hai stayed with the yummy lady until she fell asleep, he met with another person late at night.

Shiina Akane.

According to Qingye Hui, this girl, who always had a blank expression, had a rather unusual status in the game "Dream City".

The meeting place was the same dessert shop in Shibuya as last time. Since only gods could enter this dessert shop, it was indeed a very convenient place to talk.

"I didn't expect to be able to get Shiina-senpai to come out so easily. I thought you would be more wary of me."

Kiyono looked at the girl in front of her who was showing off her strawberry cake like crazy. The way she ate it made no sense to her previous quiet and docile appearance.

"I came because you said you would treat me to cake."

Akane Shiina's answer was also very direct: the reason she came was to get free desserts here.

"Well... it seems that Shiina-senpai's family background is quite difficult. This is really unexpected... Shiina-senpai is one of the three main gods of 'Dream City', how could she have fallen to such a state?"

When Kiyono Hai said those words… Shiina Akane paused noticeably while eating her cake, but she seemed to be used to it and continued chewing her cake as she spoke.

"If you're here to mock me, you might need to order two more cakes before I'm willing to continue sitting here listening to your nonsense." Shiina Akane's words remained merciless.

"I'm not trying to mock you. I just want to know more about 'Dream City' from you, Shiina-senpai, including what the game's internal structure is like, why it declined back then, and what its current state is like."

Kiyono Hai was very accommodating and ordered two more cakes for her, each with a different flavor. While she was wolfing them down, she also showed Kiyono Hai her amazing skill of talking clearly while eating!

With Shiina Akane's explanation, Kiyono Hai roughly understood what kind of game "Dream City" was, or rather, what kind of world it was.

When it was first created, "Dream City" was an MMORPG that focused on superpower combat in a modern city. Due to its novel setting, as well as the excellent story presentation in three consecutive versions: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0.

This game won the hearts of many MMORPG enthusiasts, but the storyline started to turn sour from version 5.0 onwards.

The reason is that version 5.0 introduced a system called "Assistant". To put it simply, this system is a system where you can spend money to draw characters.

This system was one of the reasons why "Dream City" went from glory to collapse, and the reason why the operators of Dream City did this was certainly not for such a superficial reason as making money.

Their purpose in launching this system was to 'recruit more gods to serve them'.

No matter how many NPCs there are in an MMORPG, the number of NPCs who can participate in major storylines and events is ultimately limited. Even if you include all the side quests of all the NPCs in the city, the number of NPCs that players can experience and the amount of faith they can offer is still limited.

Therefore, "Dream City" introduced this assistant system, which does not require painstaking foreshadowing in the main storyline, or appearances in the city or side quests.

As long as the characters are recruited by players with money and belong to the players themselves, even if it's just some daily storyline, players will still invest their emotions into these characters.

But this is just a short-sighted approach that sacrifices the game's lifespan.

The reason why the operators of "Dream City" are willing to use such methods that disrupt game balance and even create a sense of immersion to recruit as many gods as possible to serve them is for one purpose only...

Soaring.

It could also be described as a promotion.

This brings us to another game, The Sacred Stars. As one of the most popular MMORPGs in the world today, The Sacred Stars is set in a world where no particular deity or power exists.

Instead, it served as the front line for the struggle between the various divine forces in this world, because the game "Sacred Stars" was pieced together from the worlds of many other games.

As long as the game platform operated by the gods has developed to a certain level of strength and believes that it is qualified enough.

Then he could promise to let his game stage ascend to the world of "The Holy Stars" and participate in the real battles between gods.

As for those gods who have established themselves in the real world and on the stage, why do they yearn for the stage of "The Holy Stars"? You can tell just by looking at the huge number of incredibly powerful props that Mikage, the leader of the Black Sword Knights, brought out.

The world of "The Sacred Stars" truly possesses powers and unattainable existences that even the gods of this world crave.

Unfortunately, the ascension ceremony held by the gods in "Dream City" failed. There were many reasons for the failure. One reason was that the 5.0 version update was opposed by a small number of the main gods at the time.

Then the official team pulled a big stunt: in the next update, they would 'kill' all these gods and the characters they played.

It literally means 'slaughter'. The characters they played were thrown into the instance for various reasons, and then the players slaughtered them all.

If the storyline of a former friend turning to the dark side is well-written, players might not have any complaints. Unfortunately, "Dream City" failed to write this part of the story well, which led to a collapse in the main storyline of the second half of version 5.0.

Sayaka, the world-destroying witch, was a victim of this conflict, but the biggest victim was Shiina Akane, one of the three main gods of "Dream City".

The world of "Dream City" has three founding gods: the past, the present, and the future.

Akane Shiina is the future god in "Dream City". Her divine attributes include maturity, pressure, darkness, decay, hope, progress, etc.

Akane Shiina suffered a crushing defeat in the Great Purge God War at the end of "Dream City" 5.0, and as a result, she, as the main god, was completely erased from the world of "Dream City".

After losing this future god, the updates of "Dream City" began to completely shift towards content geared towards children.

Without Akane Shiina, the future goddess, the game "Dream City" can no longer draw its power of faith from the emotional thrills that are typically found in adult-oriented games.

Then, Qingye Hui didn't know whether it was a blessing in disguise or not.

After completely shifting its focus to children's content, "Dream City" has seen its magical girl-related content, tokusatsu-related content, and other related content all become incredibly popular.

Children's money is always the easiest to swindle, and so is their faith.

After successfully penetrating the children's market and establishing itself as a dominant force, "Dream City" has grown significantly larger than it did in the early stages of version 5.0.

"So only I can write a mature and healing story, and the power of faith that 'Dream City' draws upon belongs to you, Shiina-senpai?"

After listening to Shiina Akane's description, Kiyono Hai roughly understood the structure of the stage.

These two main deities, the past and the present, firmly control the flow of faith power in "Dream City," since this faith power is attracted by the children's stories.

"It's not that simple; they will never allow you to do that."

Shiina Akane coldly warned Kiyono Hai that the gods who govern "Dream City" are not stupid, and they would never allow Kiyono Hai to write any outrageous stories.

More likely... they won't give Kiyono Ash any chance to write any stories at all; the extras will just have to stay as extras.

"So, do we need to find someone else to help? Shiina-senpai... could you please give me Sayaka-senpai's contact information?" Kiyono Hai asked.

The moment Shiina Akane heard the name Sayaka, even the action of eating cake in her hand froze on the spot.

She wanted to say directly to Kiyono Hai, "Are you looking for death?"

Seeing the confident look on Nohi's face, Shiina Akane could tell that he was serious.

P.S. The next chapter is under review _(:з)∠)_, you can read it tomorrow.

Chapter 66 Falling into Depravity with the Witch

Kiyono Hai arranged to meet the world-destroying witch at Sakai Iori's house.

Today, it seems that Sakai Iori needs to work overtime in the field because of her agency's work...

So when Kiyono Hai met Sayaka-senpai, there were only Kiyono Hai and Sayaka in the room.

This world-destroying witch has shed her previous gentle older sister demeanor today.

When her dark gaze was fixed on Kiyono Hai, Kiyono Hai always felt a pressure as if he were about to be dragged into a quagmire.

After all, in the strict sense, Kiyono Gray can now be considered a rival in love to this world-destroying witch.
