I loaded the dream game

After ruling out the possibility of schizophrenia and auditory hallucination, Xia Zhi quickly concluded that the voice should have come from the original owner of this body.

"What's your name?" Xia Zhi asked.

"Eluco!" The girl answered without any defense: "Eluco Hawkesden, this is my name."

Xia Zhi, who was about to sit back on the bed, paused slightly after hearing the name, with a surprised expression on his face, as if he had heard something unexpected.

This is really...

He sighed in his heart.

"What about you? What's your name?" the girl asked curiously, "Why are you in my body?"

"Guess?" Xia Zhi threw the question back.

"Well……"

The girl fell into deep thought.

Taking advantage of this time, Xia Zhi briefly explored the space where he was currently.

This space is not big, and you can touch the boundary by just taking two steps.

There is no "door" on the pure white inner wall, which means that this is a closed world isolated from the outside world.

And the girl grew up in such a world.

"Well, I can't guess." Eluke gave up trying: "Why don't you just tell me directly?"

Xia Zhi shook his head gently and was about to speak when he felt a strong feeling of dizziness coming over him.

The next moment, as if a curtain had fallen, the view became completely dark.

……

"Xiazhi classmate...Xiazhi classmate!?"

The calling voice from his ears gradually became clearer. Xia Zhi slowly opened his eyes and saw a familiar face.

"You finally woke up."

Seeing that he finally woke up, Kirisu Madoka breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry in her heart also disappeared a little.

Xia Zhi looked around and found himself lying in a moving carriage. The wind blew in through the open windows, and he could see the scenery outside receding.

Judging from the way Kirisu Madoka addressed him just now, it seemed that he had returned to his original body.

So, what happened just now?

Xia Zhi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the woman next to him.

"Teacher Kirisu?" He tried to test the woman's identity to make sure he didn't recognize the wrong person.

"Why do you look like you don't know me?" Kirisu Madoka sighed tiredly and nodded in acknowledgement, "It's me."

In other words, she is the heroine of this dream copy?

"I just copied the world history homework a few times. There's no need to chase me to another world for something like this, right?" Xia Zhi muttered to himself.

"Really?" Kirisu Madoka's voice suddenly came from the side: "This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

Summer Solstice: “…”.

Chapter 27 The Last Star God

In this world, there is a legend that is widely circulated on the continent.

In the distant past, there were only gray wildernesses and the "primitive beasts" living in this world.

However, the star gods who visited here from a faraway place transformed the entire world to be similar to their homeland.

They covered the earth with green plants, filled the sea with blue water, gave life to humans and other creatures, and shaped the world into that form. In the process, they gave their souls to humans and gradually disappeared.

However, although the ancient star gods have been defeated, the last star god that has been sleeping since the mythological era has awakened some time ago, and for some unknown reason has decided to be hostile to all humans, and together with his subordinate earth gods, he intends to exterminate the human race.

The former creator has become the worst evil god. Humans who do not want to be destroyed have to unite and decide to kill the last star god before the final destruction comes.

“This is the current state of the world.”

Xia Zhi slowly closed the book in his hand, let out a long breath and said.

After telling such a long story, he really felt a little dry in the mouth.

Kirisu Madoka, who was sitting across from the campfire, nodded thoughtfully.

Although she had not been in this world for long, everything she encountered, saw and heard along the way forced her to admit that she had indeed come to a strange and alien world.

This is really...

She rubbed her brows with a headache. Her head felt a little swollen from receiving too much information at once.

Compared to these, there is another thing that Kirisu Madoka is very concerned about.

"Where did you get this book?"

"A kind uncle gave it to me." Xia Zhi said nonsense casually, focusing his attention on the task interface in front of him:

【Currently ongoing tasks】

[Main Mission 1: Resolve the crisis of human extinction]

[Task Reward: 3000 Dream Points]

[Main Mission 2: Give Star God Ailu a meaning for his existence]

[Task Reward: 2500 Dream Points]

[Main Mission 3: Ensure that Kirisu Madoka survives until the end of the dungeon]

[Task Reward: 700 Dream Points]

[Complete all main missions: additional reward of 1000 dream points]

Except for the last one, the difficulty of the other two main quests can be seen from the literal meaning, and they are not a little different from the previous dream copy.

As expected, the first copy is usually set up similar to a novice village.

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

The sudden increase in the difficulty of the tasks is matched by equally generous task rewards. The reward for a single main task is equivalent to the total points earned in the previous dungeon, which is hard not to be tempted.

But compared to these, Xia Zhi cares more about the name of the girl who appeared in the main mission.

Eluk Hawkesden is the youngest member of the Star Gods who created the world, and also the last Star God in this world.

Judging from her appearance alone, it is hard to imagine that such an innocent and lovely girl would be the evil god that people say must be conquered and destroyed, but from the information we have learned so far and the information recorded in books, it seems that most people in this world have already regarded this last young star god as an enemy of mankind.

"Isn't this equivalent to issuing tasks to me from two camps at the same time?" Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

Regardless of how Ailu views humans, humans undoubtedly regard this star god as an enemy.

Giving meaning to a god's existence is not an easy task no matter how you think about it, so before that, he must ensure that Ailu is not killed by humans.

Isn't it a bit too difficult to save humanity and protect the young star god at the same time? Xia Zhi thought.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the upper limit of power in this world is not low, and his maximum level swordsmanship skills should be able to produce good results.

Add to that the more than 600 dream points he has left, and if he uses them properly, it is not impossible to complete the task.

What's more, it's not like the game didn't provide him with any help at all.

Recalling the scene he had "dreamed" of before, Xia Zhi thought about it for a moment and quickly realized that this was a means given by the game that allowed him to cross the barrier of that closed world and contact the star god Eluk.

But how should I put it, isn’t this method of contact a little too...direct?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart while adding some firewood to the campfire.

At night, the sky was dotted with sparkling stars, and the Milky Way, like fine sand, lay diagonally on the blue sky. Many people in the convoy had already fallen asleep, and even Kirisu Madoka, who was sitting opposite him with his legs crossed, was nodding his head due to sleepiness, looking like he would fall asleep at any moment.

In the empty camp, there was no other sound except the gentle breeze, the slight chirping of insects in the distant woods, and the occasional crackling sound of the fire. It seemed particularly peaceful and quiet.

Unlike the other people in the convoy, Xia Zhi and Kirisu Madoka, who were picked up halfway, were not very familiar with them, so naturally it was difficult for them to integrate into their group. This can be seen from the fact that no one approached the campfire where the two were.

There is no doubt that they are isolated.

This is not surprising. After all, they are strangers who do not have a close relationship with each other, so it is inevitable that they will be wary and keep a distance from each other.

Rather, it was a rare act of kindness that these people were willing to lend a helping hand to me and Kirisu-sensei and give them a ride.

However, there are people who are in similar situations as them.

Xia Zhi raised his head and cast his gaze towards another bonfire not far away, and the girl with the same long fiery red hair under the light of the fire.

……

ps: I have been stuck on the last chapter, it is so uncomfortable.

Chapter 28 Lilia

Lilia Asprey, the fallen princess of the Dione Knight Kingdom.

As a small, pastoral country, Dione has never been involved in power struggles. Peace is the symbol of the country, transparent and pure, so when she was still a princess, Lilia was required and taught to be a doll who knows nothing and just smiles.

Lilia was a very straightforward girl. She had been very quiet and smart since she was a child. She understood this matter and accepted it.

This was not a difficult thing for her. If she could make the adults around her happy just by smiling, then she should keep smiling within the limits of her facial muscles...

The girl thought like this.

She originally thought that such peaceful days would continue forever, but when she was nine years old, the world changed completely.

"..."

The girl gently stirred the fire with the firewood in her hand, her eyes staring unfocused at the dancing flames in front of her, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Can I sit here?"

The voice in her ear drew Lilia's attention back. She looked up and saw a young man standing beside her, looking down at her.

Although she was a little confused, Lilia did not refuse. She nodded and moved to make room for him.

Xia Zhi didn't hesitate and sat down next to the girl with a "Hey".

"Thank you so much today. I heard from the teacher that if you hadn't found us lying on the side of the road, we would have had to sleep in the wilderness tonight."

"You're welcome." Lilia shook her head and smiled habitually, saying, "That road is not remote, and there are other caravans passing through it. So even if I'm not there, there will be others who will find you."

"But, after all, you were the one who discovered us, weren't you?"

Xia Zhi picked up a piece of firewood next to him and also started to stir the fire:

"People who help others should be thanked. If they are always modest and magnanimous, or even refuse to accept thanks, it will invisibly raise the moral standards of the people being helped for other helpers, which is a very immoral thing to do."

This is the first time I've heard of such a thing, Lilia thought to herself.

"Also, has no one told you one thing?" Xia Zhi asked.

Lilia tilted her head: "What's the matter?"

"Your smile is so fake." Xia Zhi threw the firewood in his hand into the fire, clapped his hands, looked at the girl and said, "A real smile is a joy from the heart, which will move the orbicularis oculi muscles around the eyes, giving people the feeling that the eyes are glowing. But when you smiled just now, the muscles around your eyes did not move, and your eyes were dull, making people feel that there was no sincerity at all."

Lilia: “…”

Isn't this what a polite smile is all about? Are you being too strict?

The girl suddenly had the thought that the man in front of her was actually very difficult to serve.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." Xia Zhi changed the subject, looked at the girl and said, "My name is Xia Zhi, what's yours?"

"…Lilia Asprey."

After giving her name, the girl fell silent, quietly waiting for the expected reaction.

As a princess of a fallen country, her country was destroyed not long ago in an attack by monsters called the "Ancient Spirits".

Whether it was the attack by the "Ancient Spirits" or the demise of the Dione Knight Kingdom, it was no small matter, so the story about the girl has now become a household name.

From that moment on, Lilia Asprey lost everything she had... That was what most people who heard about it thought at the time.

So after that, as the protagonist of the tragedy, Lilia began to be asked to play a role that she had never played before.
