Mr. Dragon Knight, the dragon girls are chasing you!

Luo Ye gazed quietly at the girl standing against the light, his heart filled with a clear and warm feeling. Just as he was about to respond, a crisp and familiar system notification suddenly rang in his mind!

[Congratulations, host! Your bond with Seraphina - Moonlight Aria has reached the "Soulmate" level!]

The air in the entire bedchamber was filled with the sweet and pure fragrance of moonlight and flowers, mixed with the cool moonlight scent unique to Serafina after the passionate night, alluring and captivating.

Luo Ye sat up and habitually brought up the system panel in his mind.

The complete personal attribute panel suddenly unfolded, and the completely refreshed and several times-increased data made his pupils shrink, and he was stunned on the spot.

[However, please note that when both parties are present, the two-way synchronization of the soul connection will have a cumulative effect. It is recommended that the host manage their heart rate in advance.]

In short, beware of a chaotic situation!

Luo Ye's gaze swept over the screen full of explosive attribute data, and a surge of exhilarating pleasure instantly welled up in his chest. The fatigue from head to toe was mostly washed away by the extreme sense of improvement.

All my hard work since I was a child has paid off; after defeating so many bosses, I'm finally starting to reap the rewards.

In just a few days, he soared from level 15 to level 22, simultaneously pursuing two professions, his attributes increased nearly tenfold, and he even mastered the unique dual-elemental Dragon King power.

This is the ultimate benefit of binding two ancient dragon kings, a height that ordinary adventurers, imperial knights, and court mages could never reach in their entire lives.

Just as he was basking in the joy of his soaring level and leaping strength, the system screen in front of him flickered slightly again, the golden task patterns refreshed rapidly, and a brand new pinned notification suddenly popped up.

[Ding! Detection indicates the host has completed the Twin Dragon Contract, and their strength rating has exceeded the threshold.]

The next phase of the main storyline has been unlocked!

【Mission Name: The Proud Imperial Princess】

【Task Description:】

Ten years have passed since you left the bustling capital alone. The naive, down-on-his-luck young man, forced to leave, is now presumed by everyone in the empire to have perished in the desolate wilderness beyond the borders.

[The once brilliant and proud imperial prodigy, Elena, now firmly believes you are dead. She is working tirelessly in the court to annul the engagement, determined to sever all ties with you and erase this unbearable past from her eyes.]

But fate never follows the predetermined script of mortals.

[Returning to the bustling capital of the empire, standing once more before her, he personally shatters all her arrogance, prejudice, and indifference.]

[Ultimate Mission Reward: Unlocks game world exit privileges!]

Luo Ye's gaze instantly locked onto the last line of gold text, and even his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

Game exit permission.

This option, which had never appeared on the system panel in the more than ten years since he transmigrated here, was now finally right in front of him.

Having traversed this fantastical world of swords and magic, dragons and epics for so long, he has tossed and turned countless times at night, desperately questioning the reality of this world.

Those unforgettable emotions, those heart-pounding touches, those vibrant loves, hates and bonds between people—they're so real they don't feel like cold, hard data.

But now, the system has provided the most definitive answer.

Once he completes this last main quest, he can completely escape this virtual game world and return to the real world he has been away from for more than a decade.

The hope of returning home finally truly fell into his hands.

"It really is an immersive virtual game." Luo Ye muttered to himself, a slight smile involuntarily appearing on his lips. All the doubts, confusion, and unease that had accumulated in his heart for ten years vanished.

The system is right, this really is just a game.

The panel is real, the skills are real, the quests are real—so the exit permission must also be real.

Since it's a game, no matter how many female characters he romances or how many chaotic situations he triggers, he's still playing within the rules.

Since it's a game, he doesn't need to feel guilty.

The more he thought about it, the more relaxed he became, and even the way he looked at Serafina beside him became much more at ease.

As for Princess Elena...

He recalled the blurry figure in his memory—a proud, exceptionally talented blonde girl who had displayed astonishing magical talent from a young age and was hailed as "a genius that the empire sees only once in a century."

When he ran away from home at the age of eight, she was just a naive little girl, yet she was already skilled in casting high-level level three magic, her talent far surpassing that of her peers.

Now, ten years have passed, and she should have become the youngest court mage in the empire, right?

Luo Ye had a plan in mind and had roughly envisioned the various scenarios that would occur after returning to the empire.

He knows the plot of "The Return of the King" very well.

PS: Regarding Luo Ye's attributes, since they are all basic attributes, the actual amount received will be multiplied by the class trait by 500%. Therefore, to avoid data inconsistencies, we will calculate it uniformly in this chapter. Please forgive us if there are any errors in the calculations later.

Without further ado, let's get started!
