The Ending That Falls
Looking at that young man standing upright and with his determination showing off like crazy, Yun Beishang only calmed looked at him as he evaluated his own body; just like his virtual body is in the game, in this so-called 'test', he was a tall, strong young man but somehow thin. the only discrepancy was the change of clothes that were something he hadn't even seen in any shop of the no-longer Azure Dragon City, nor in other Sub-Division or even Regions. But, though it looked that ordinary and tasteless, it somehow resembled an empowered sense of imperialism and mightiness.
"Report! Our precious Generals and Elders are awaiting your arrival at the meeting, sir. Troops have converged fully and our people has been similarly put into safe spots upon the imminent impact, sir. Those who wished to 'stay' are also within our troops, sir."
Yun Beishang's eyes darted left and right between the grasses and delicate, small flowers and the young man's body. Then, after 2 seconds since the young man finished speaking, he finally responded by smacking his lips almost silently and slightly as he spoke. "Oh, alright. Lead the way."
Hearing his leader's words, the young man respectfully nodded in a little motion before turning around carefully before starting to advance at a certain direction, all to which Yun Beishang didn't know where the fuck would they go and even where the fuck to reach. Because, from what he could sense, there was nothing even further beyond what his already perverted Mental Power could reach to. After a good little while, with only 15 minutes spent at walking speed; which, was more or less, a normal human being's running speed on New Earth. This young man in front of Yun Beishang was just ordinary, there wasn't an interface for him to appear and tell him about the young man's level or skills, not even equipment. Though for that, Yun Beishang seemed to rather understand that his clothes were like his, all but ordinary.
Suddenly, at this moment as they were still nonchalantly walking seemingly endlessly forward, Yun Beishang saw the young man in front of him be engulfed by a screen of colorless energy. Which obviously startled Yun Beishang himself; there was no use in scanning along with his Mental Power for as he genuinely could not detect a single ripple in the air. It seemed as if whatever he saw wasn't real and that, that path ahead of his was real.
But if that was so, then the young man should've been able to keep on walking forward as Yun Beishang watched, not just simply disappear and even from his senses, his!!
Opening his mouth slightly to a little 'o', Yun Beishang looked back with half his upper body turned around to see the beautiful, purest ethereal full body image of Irllytia nod and smile at him like a mommy whose silly kid just got lost. Speechless quite a bit, Yun Beishang turned around to face the place where the young man from before seemingly passed by a barrier, door, portal or whatever the fuck it truly was. At the same time, Yun Beishang's senses tingles as he felt something stir up from deep inside his virtual body's customs, his Builder Sub-Class was... how to say, provoked?
"Hm." Humming once at the sight of nothing but pure reality, Yun Beishang then stepped forth with his left foot before pausing for a little, his body froze and his mind went blank. Then it slowly relaxed, his arms placed to his sides, he calmly walked forth without hesitation but also without seriousness; as soon as he felt his Mental Power suddenly be connected like electricity being driven by a conduct. At the same time, his Mental Power scanned over what could be seen or called... as an immense, paradisaical and utterly unimaginably vast piece of land.
Right after, Yun Beishang felt his body be tapped and traced ever so lightly by an invisible 'something' as he felt the wild grass that his feet have been stepping on for so long, change into that of the most softest and smoothest of nature's soil.
"Ug-haahh?!" Surprised of fucking course, Yun Beishang let out a soft exclamation which he quickly covered up by stretching his lower back with his hands placed behind his body. The young man was waiting for the typically sightseeing-adoring leader to cross their portal-barrier, when he saw the leader finally cross the barrier but suddenly become astounded seemingly from the sight before proceeding to stretch his back. The young man only responded by nodding slightly at the leader though, clear respect and even some veneration appeared on his gaze.
"Eh-... nevermind, let's keep moving." Yun Beishang ambiguously signaled at the young man who then turned once again around and began walking once again as well.
'Haah, just what is this test, hah?' Then, the two walked forth once again while a silently watching Irllytia had her ethereal image float at Yun Beishang's every pace.
On their way towards the so-called 'meeting', Yun Beishang had the chance to witness the incredible paradise that he had just entered. Looking back to where he came from, an obvious dome-like invisible barrier that was only visible to the naked eyed thanks to the ripples that went off every now and then, was completely visible even as he turned back to look in front and saw the same barrier all the way to the other extremes of this hidden territory.
And in a way, as Yun Beishang kept looking back and forth and all over his surroundings, up and down at the very same barrier; some kind of 'lift' was the only thing he kept on feeling as he passed most of his time in this manner.
On the other hand, there were lots of people all around him whose number only kept on increasing the longer he walked; from only seeing beautiful, delicate ladies, young, childish but seemingly strong boys and their parents wearing a soft-looking robe of any possible color. He then began to see the same kind of soil used as their floor without a single intention on building up something extraordinary instead. At the same time, from the previously dozens of people he'd get to see far in the distance every 10 minutes or so, he then saw thousands of people in what could be called an endless plaza; or even an endless 'corridor-plaza'.
It was so majestic, capable of allowing a possibly few thousands of people to walk side by side without even being able to touch each other's bodies with their arms extended to the sides. As for how long it was, he could only patiently traverse it to know it.
It was more or less, in a very simplified manner, explained like this. There were tons of shops, restaurants, recreational buildings of any kind; from internet cafes, doll shops, blacksmiths, herb shops, electronic shops and even some that sold transportation vehicles of all kinds which though they may not look as flashy and modernized as those on New Earth, they were still pretty incredible to look at.
That was however, only for one of the sides to the corridor-like plaza, to which in the other side were instead the residential buildings. In them, all sorts of houses; even from mansions to villas. But they never went over more than being a 3-storey building. And they were also not similar to each other even when some really did look similar to one another and in big numbers. In any case, that wasn't what was making all of this 'corridor-like plaza' be astounding and unbelievable. But it was instead the fact that the residential area was about that of thousands upon thousands of times larger than that of the other side.
As Yun Beishang passed through it, he saw people of all ages, or at least that looked to be in those ages as he sensed some of the young men and women be as old as ordinary grandpas on New Earth and some of those who did looked older as grandpas were even more scarier for Yun Beishang to realize of.
As for their clothing, it was more modernized than ever thought possible, this made Yun Beishang wonder furthermore about the objective of the game having such quirky hidden feature, but he kept on walking. Naturally, as they walked, the young man upped his speed though he still seemed to slowly walk. Even Yun Beishang saw him as simply slowly moving; nevertheless, Yun Beishang had to also quicken up his pace as he followed the young man towards their far away destination.
With his hand having already grabbed onto Irllytia's ethereal image, though it didn't manage to grab at anything nor feel anything at all, that motion still managed to make Irllytia's ethereal body close up to his as they rapidly went over the seemingly endless sea of heads from multiple colors; together.
. . .
"Leader, over here. Please enter." The young man spoke while opening up an entrance in a seemingly completely sealed up 500m x 500m large tent with a height of over 10 meters. This was, according to Yun Beishang's calculations, somewhere in-between the middle of the two extremes of the corridor-like plaza. With the speed of their steps growing faster and faster, the two young men naturally arrived immensely faster than ever with just a few hours what some of the fastest vehicles would probably take up to 2 entire days to traverse at full speed and in a straight line.
Nodding,Yun Beishang gripped the nothing as Irllytia's ethereal image that could only be seen by him was pulled once again closer to his body, then he gave the 'outside' of the tent another large glance with his eyes trying to take over every single sighting from the invisible dome-like barrier. Before finally giving in to the test's quirky methods.
Flwop~, flap!
"Oh, Leader is here."
"Leader has come back."
"Mn, Leader has returned. Welcome back Leader, please take your seat and let us commence this meeting." From all thunderous, hundreds of noises, came a graceful, fragile but mature and though overbearing, respectful voice of a female. After Yun Beishang blinked his eyes once in an exaggerated fashion, he moved them directly towards the last person to speak before all other murmurs and surprised voices quieted down at once.
Before he could say anything himself, Yun Beishang saw Irllytia from the corner of his right eye as she slowly moved forth on her own to stand one step ahead of him, it was just that her eyes were calmly sparkling while gazing at that woman who spoke last before turning to look at Yun Beishang and nodding at him casually; her eyes and lips turned relaxed at that moment.
Cr-ack-ack.
Twisting his neck, the patient Yun Beishang then glanced all around him instead at just that one woman whose looks talked about being a godly entity even among the endless starry paths. Blonde hair, soft green-creamy eyes, long eyelashes and plump creamy lips that just asked for Yun Beishang to toy with and to adore. She was tall, really damn tall, going for about that of 2.35m tall. Even then, her wonderful figure of a 2.35m tall person's H Cup and irresistible heart shaped, full buttocks was the second batch of realization in images that invaded Yun Beishang's mind which also made him almost lung out in a fit of hunger at the speed of light towards her right then and there.
Though her iris were quite too big and nothing like that of a human's, her pupils were also quite unique, having a black hole in the middle of her beautiful almost half-her-eyeballs irises but that looked more like a star whose limbs were dragged out. With some of that black hole's black color reach out to beyond her iris area and 'tainting' her own white sclera.
Her massive bunnies on her chest that according to Yun Beishang's senses were of an exquisite teardrop shape, felt like two seducing eyes attempting to draw in the foolish, hungry and insatiable Yun Beishang, very almost managing to do it. But Yun Beishang stopped his 'fun side' from emerging as his senses alone told him that this woman should've been able to reject his gaze and scanning, but obviously; didn't.
Besides, which woman wouldn't notice when they are being stared at so beautifully obvious and blatantly?!
Yun Beishang took a more careful approach, Fatima's incident was still inside his own little heart. Tall woman, extremely beautiful and with skin that was almost translucent and rosy more than creamy, appearing to truly be a goddess. Far from what any mortal could look like, for any race, from what Yun Beishang has had seen inside the game for 10 months of playing it and surfing on the game's forums.
Totally aware of his current thoughts, the woman smiled slowly but mirthfully as her warm words echoed from her mouth all the way inside his brain straight to his heart. "Leader, what is it? Is Flor now to your liking? Have you... decided to take Flor as yours?"
"Oh~~..."
"Wahaha~! Leader! Way to go~~."
"Finally! It was like watching an impossible romance all this long, hurray!"
"Alright, alright, cough. This, eh, my seat..." Yun Beishang felt the urge to vomit out of speechlessness as he tried to advert the success of events into what the game supposedly wanted him to do, but he didn't fucking know where to sit as every seat he could see was just like that of any others and there weren't any vacant ones. Shouldn't a true leader's seat be at where anyone could both hear and see him as he spoke? But thankfully, 'Goddess' Flor kindly spoke out for him at this moment as her long and slender fingers signaled to a spot only 3 meters away from hers. "My dear Leader, it's right there. Could you perhaps be shy? Auw~."
Flor seemingly used charm, as it was super effective on Yun Beishang!
Shaking his head to wake himself up and glancing more like an ordinary person towards Flor with his previous dazed and hungry-wolf-like staring, Yun Beishang spoke a few words before walking to where Flor signaled, which was a simple chair that was even too common to notice if it was in New Earth.
"Aha, thank you Goddess Flor..." And, once again, his words created hushed gossiping while Flor herself had a pair of small tinges of rosier color on her cheeks.
Step, step, step.
'Hm? This seat... really?' Yun Beishang took a moment to look at the chair before him, he couldn't 'see' anything about it even after a full 2-minutes long observation from his part. So, after that little moment went out and as the few hundred people around him quietly gazed at him and spoke to each other in hushed voices still respectfully in presence of their leader, he sat on it; fearless.
At the same moment that Yun Beishang's bum was only a dozen inches above the seat, every single thing stopped, time made it so. Even his own body was fully stopped as he suddenly realized that his Mental Power and all of his stats were useless, also not being able to equip up his Mind-Sensory or swap equipment. But at the same moment, he saw a pair of red skinned, beautiful long, slender and youthful legs as a entirely relaxed and utmost pure voice went out inside the every fiber of his being.
"Husband, you've done great! Really great! Good luck with what comes after, I believe in you, we all do. We four do... here a little thing of mine, it was also one of the many things we did when we first met, do you remember?" Her ethereal voice thundered inside of him while her long and slender arms slowly extended to cup his head, her even Demon-form freckled skin showing completely as right now, there was only him and her and nobody else! Her entirely naked body ignited mobility across Yun Beishang's face but he still could not speak and only move around his eyes, lips and nostrils. Meanwhile, Irllytia's body was being slowly covered by an incredible-looking armor that he couldn't discern well except for the fact; that it was growing from the touch of her hands on his head and spread out towards every single part of her body. A something unknown was also forming at her right hand from the same substance as was her indiscernible armor while her head lovingly reached his, and their lips finally met.
Mwahh~...
At this moment, even if Yun Beishang wanted to say anything at all he wasn't able to, for as the next instant, her entire ethereal image slowly became sparkling lights and disappeared from his sight.
Clap.
Murmur, murmur!
Fwoosh.
Yun Beishang went back to normal, his bum seating down on the ordinary chair with a noiseless tap before it began to deconstruct itself and transform into what was similar but of a lower quality to the transformations of his Half-Divine Mind-Sensory Pseudo-Artifact. But even though he felt the obvious tremors of the chair and felt his body begin to be elevated into a position that indeed fit his description of a 'leader', he was completely ignoring those happenings as his thoughts were in another world.
'...Hehe. Well, at least you're... fine.' It had been a small amount of time since Irllytia grieved the lost of her family, it had been quite the smallest of amounts indeed, no matter what. But just now, Yun Beishang saw what he would've felt as coming back into the living path; a desire for life...!
'Goddammit, did the game had to be this way? Hm... did I had to be this way too? Some things changed, and really quite a lot... too.' Failing to notice the way in which Flor was watching his face and thoughts grow, he only heard and understood her words once the entire room silenced completely and the young man from before slowly made his way towards 8 meters in front of Yun Beishang where most people were seating at while only Flor was the one at 3 meters close to him, up in front of any other individual yet she was not a General nor a faction leader. While the second closest to Yun Beishang were about 7 meters away from him. As for the rest, they were all in front of Yun Beishang, as if lined up only to hear him and to see him, it was magnificent indeed.
"Leader, there are these two choices that you've made then. So please elaborate on your decision and the steps to follow." Her voice was caring, truly caring and even warm as well; she inclined her head to the right as she spoke while her green-creamy iris never left his eyes.
*PING*...host has now two choices to choose from, host can only choose between these two as it is not a moment for wit but of heavy sin burdening and a take for the lives, hearts and thoughts of host's people inside the test. Please choose, not wisely, but valiantly.
