Dark Eldar

Pain is about to transform into the source of desire. —Otherworldly Rules 33373

Loki was surprised to see his "old friends" before him. He could tell they were all exceptionally talented young men, as brilliant as Edward III, some even more intelligent and wiser. (Initial Attributes)

"Loki, aren't you having a great time with so many good friends together?" Edward said with a smile. He seemed to know them too, and some of them were even joking around.

"Look, has Loki gone mad?" one of the students exclaimed.

"Exactly, Loki's become so dull. Haha!" a handsome classmate chimed in.

"Okay, let me adjust slowly. I do feel like everyone has changed a lot," Loki said with a smile, though it didn't feel out of place. He had some social experience; he didn't want to offend his roommates first. He would try to adapt to the new environment gradually.

When everyone gathered together and saw Loki's current state, they didn't say anything more and went about their own business.

Loki secretly found Edward outside the WC teaching building (a modern building) and discussed how to leave as soon as possible.

"Edward, you see, I clearly don't belong here. Let me get out of here as soon as possible!"

"Huh? You can't adapt without magic?" Edward was clearly very sober.

"Here, I have to start all over again. I feel terrible. I don't like this kind of super-high-level, insane trial." Loki made his point clear.

"..." Edward III was very puzzled by Loki's current thoughts.

Edward wondered, "Why doesn't Loki like the series of missions that are so difficult to get tickets for, even though they are of a higher level?" He couldn't quite figure it out.

In Edward's mind, Loki should still be the same "stubborn," "excellent," and "adventurous" young man from the other world. But the Loki before him, for some reason, seemed a bit颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of listlessness, dejection, and a lack of motivation). Edward felt that Loki had changed too much.

"Alright! I'll tell you! They are..." Edward revealed the truth.

Loki's roommates were actually his former classmates from the otherworldly magic academy, but they had changed their identities to unlock and complete advanced hidden quests. For example, the troll Edson was now a normal human, his appearance completely altered. This explained Loki's sense of déjà vu. It was also rumored that Benjamin VI had arrived but hadn't yet appeared.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? That's why I felt like I knew them, but I didn't really know them either." Loki scratched his head.

"But I still don't feel quite right for it, so how about it? Can I leave the party and leave the mission?" Loki asked persistently.

"Boss! Tickets are extremely scarce, and the Dark Eldar is waiting for you. Besides, the military portal is closed now. If you want to go back, you have to go through Order. You know Order here, and the NPCs too; they're usually ruthless... There's no support or healing here. What if you die? Who will revive you? What if you can't get back?" Edward helped Loki analyze the situation.

Hidden quests, especially high-level hidden quests, often have a higher level of order than the original map server. Their sequence and matrix levels cannot be exceeded. A-level > B-level > C-level >, and so on.

"Alright, I'll put up with it. New map, new environment? You guys really know how to play games." Loki listened to Edward's analysis and, based on his own judgment, also felt that the risk was quite high.

"I'm back!" Loki shouted. After adjusting himself, he deliberately imitated the state of mind he had when he had just forged the artifact "Mold of the Creator" and greeted everyone in turn.

"Hey, how are you? Handsome!" Loki strode forward, trying his best to regain his confidence. At that time, Loki had just forged the artifact, and every classmate admired him greatly.

"Wow! Look, our Loki is back!" a handsome guy with a new name, Cheng Li, exclaimed.

Loki recognized "Cheng Li" as an ancient language transliteration, meaning "success in she," because his original nickname was also Cheng Li. It means "success at dawn."

What the students don't know is that Loki has already traded away the legendary artifact, "The Hammer of the Creator." Some students might know this, but they would assume that Loki did it for greater advancement.

They even believed that the blueprint for the "Advanced Resurrection Potion" should also be in Loki's alchemy skill list, and that he should have learned it too! In their minds, "Excellent people should always be excellent!"

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Recently, Loki's development in the other world has hit a bottleneck. He originally thought that unlocking the maximum level of his ultimate skill and increasing its proficiency would bring about a certain outcome, but instead, he faces endless troubles... The backlash from powerful artifacts is a hidden setting, a secret almost no one knows. Just like money and power can bring endless confusion and bewilderment...

Loki has amassed a million gold coins through a "large transaction." This level of wealth is something he could never accumulate simply by fighting monsters and recycling equipment. How to manage his money wisely is Loki's next step.

He is now in an unfamiliar environment and is not allowed to bring money in, so no matter how much money he has, it is nothing to Loki right now.

Edward III focused on his political career, following a traditional path. As long as he maintained a low profile, followed the established procedures, and diligently served the middle and upper echelons, acting as a bridge between superiors and subordinates... he would gradually and perfectly integrate into the new Council of Elders. At this time, he continuously strengthened his mind and expanded his social skills. He even remembered to bring along his former ally, Loki, making him a truly formidable figure...
