章節 18: Chapter 18: Almost Created a Fireball
編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation
After instructing Dylan to arrange the Magic Language Bat, Lide didn't follow the other party to leave.
It was still noon. Even though he wasn't afraid of sunlight, it wasn't suitable to immediately return to Green City.
What he wanted to do now was.
Return to Earth.
The time ratio between Glory World and Earth was 3 to 1; three days in Glory World were equivalent to one day on Earth.
Although Earth, being safe, wasn't likely to pose any danger, after all, Earth was his root.
After giving instructions to the Bloodline guards, Lide lay on the soft big bed in the master bedroom of the manor.
With a thought.
Earth.
In Shanghai, in an ordinary housing area far from the city center.
Lide's eyes suddenly opened, and the sunlight streaming through the window made him a bit dizzy.
His legs felt a bit sore from not moving for a long time. He struggled to sit up, propped himself on the bed with his hands, and looked around the familiar room setup, gradually relaxing.
He was back.
He heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that nothing had gone wrong.
Reaching for his phone still charging on the bedside table, it was October 11, 2050, at 9:00 AM.
Lide felt quite peculiar. He remembered he had entered the game on the afternoon of the 10th.
He had spent two days in the game, but only about ten hours had passed in reality. It was truly miraculous.
After returning to Earth, Lide immediately felt relaxed, sitting on the bed with a strong sense of security.
Although he was a powerful Advanced Mage and the Blood Clan Ancestor with two hundred Bloodlines in Glory World, there was always a sense of crisis that forced him to actively do various things.
But it was different on Earth. Even if he loitered around all day, nothing would change apart from his wallet steadily emptying. At least he wouldn't be hunted down as a vampire.
The place where Lide lived wasn't big, just a seventy-plus square meter, two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment left to him by his parents before they passed away.
In this first-tier city of Shanghai, a house of his own was enough to make most people strive their whole lives.
"Really amazing."
Lide recollected himself, finding it unbelievable despite living in Glory for two days.
The sensation of that world fascinated him deeply, making life on Earth pursuing shows on the internet seem a thousand times more mundane.
Stretching his body a bit, his eyes caught sight of the water cup on the computer desk in the room, making him suddenly feel thirsty.
Instinctively, he snapped his fingers.
Crack~
Lide's eyes popped open as if electrocuted, with intense pain surging in his mind.
Pressing his hands tightly against his head, he desperately tried to alleviate the tearing pain.
It took him a full ten minutes to come back to his senses.
Lide lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, his shock far surpassing the pain in his head.
He had unconsciously tried to cast the Mage's Hand spell.
What shocked him was that he almost succeeded, only to be thwarted by insufficient magic power, causing the collapse of the magic model and violent magic rebound.
But what did that mean?
The scene just now left him with enormous doubts.
Could he use magic on Earth?
Raising his hand, he wanted to try again but immediately dropped the idea. The terrifying rebound was more unbearable than torture.
On Earth, he was not the powerful Advanced Mage, not even a Mage Apprentice.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the shock in his heart.
This was too astounding.
Initially, he thought he had just entered the game ahead of time, and it wouldn't be of much use without physically crossing over, but he quickly dismissed this notion.
Almost casting a Fireball Technique, not useful?
This was going to change everything.
Looking out at the bright window, his thoughts were all over the place.
This sudden incident required a complete overhaul of many plans, including the development of the Bloodline, magical studies, the arrival of players, and more.
The jumbled thoughts made it hard for him to pinpoint anything.
Suddenly remembering something, Lide quickly got up and went to the computer desk. Turning on the computer, he skillfully navigated to the "Glory" official website.
He wanted to see if he could find any clues online.
Logically speaking, the 100% realism of "Glory" shouldn't be feasible to develop now, and the release of this game was quite bizarre.
It seemed to appear overnight. The five major game companies in Huaxia suddenly announced the successful development of a groundbreaking virtual online game, and then set the game's open time one year later.
Initially, Lide didn't think much of it, but now he found the game companies' actions highly unusual.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it.
The familiar homepage he had seen dozens of times appeared after opening the official website.
Due to the game not yet being launched, there wasn't much valuable information on the site.
Most of it was an introduction to the background story and the profession information that held little importance to players at the stage.
Previously, Lide had skimmed through several times but hadn't taken it seriously.
After experiencing that magnificent and realistic world, his former nonchalance vanished.
Now he was more focused than ever.
He re-read every word on the homepage.
Starting with the world background, which was not much different from his memory.
"Glory" was a world of magic, with dozens of races coexisting.
Despite this, humans remained the dominant race in this world.
All races lived on the Main Plane, and humans called it the Glory World... the same as the game's name.
In "Glory," Divine beings were not illusory; these powerful beings who had left the Main Plane to establish Divine Countries in the stars wielded incredible power.
Every city had established chapels of Divine beings, frequently visited by miracles, and the human kingdoms' devotion to deities was intense.
Lide currently resided in the Nolan Empire, situated in the southern part of the Main Plane, a mid-strength nation among the twelve human empires, with a population of up to one billion and innumerable powerful professionals.
However, it had to be mentioned that several races in "Glory" remained formidable, even rivalling the powerful kingdoms of humans.
To the far south, in the barren wilderness, Orcs lived on lands no smaller than the Nolan Empire, with extreme individual combat power, being natural-born warriors.
Among them, combat races like Werewolves, Tiger-men, Minotaurs, and Centaurs were once feared by humans, constantly waging war against the Nolan Empire.
In the central continent, the Ancient Forest housed the unique Upper Race of this world, the Elves.
This longevity species with their long life spans were natural artists and powerful spellcasters, but what they were most famous for was their beauty.
On the edges of the Main Plane, the Storm Sea to the east belonged to the Sea Clan, with countless races living underwater like leaves on the Life Tree.
The Storm Sea also hosted the most powerful Golden Race of "Glory" — the giant dragon.
No matter what world they were in, dragons stood at the top of all races. If it weren't for their low birth rate, they would have already ruled this world.
Lastly, there were the Dark Night Elves and the Snake Race in the Underworld, along with other powerful races quickly skimmed over by the official website.
Such as the Bloodline, Dwarf, goblin, Demon, and others.
Lide read meticulously but couldn't find the information he was searching for—why magic could be used in reality... though he failed, he couldn't mistake that feeling and had a hunch that with time to familiarize himself.
He would eventually cast a Fireball.
