What do you mean by "this is a dating game"?

Blackscale City, the city of adventurers from the Fire Palace.

This pioneering city, standing at the crossroads, has a history of over a thousand years, and its walls, scarred by war, are its best testament to that.

As Sieg walked along the bustling port avenue, he noticed a hole in the cuff of Sieg's short-sleeved shirt.

"……commit a sin."

He shook his head and skillfully folded his sleeves.

The thing Sieg regretted most in his life was playing a game called "Love in the World of Fire".

Seven years ago, he was still very young.

A package arrived at his home, congratulating him on winning the chance to experience "Love in the World of Sui".

This is a "next-generation fully immersive motion-sensing game" that must be played with the immersive headset delivered by courier.

Sieg was skeptical, but he assembled and adjusted the device according to the instructions, then put it on his head—

Oh my god, link start!

The moment the helmet activated and he entered the game, he was captivated.

It blurs the lines between reality and the game, perfectly replicating sight, hearing, touch, and even smell.

If I had to point out any shortcomings, it would be that the game is too hardcore.

Players only have one life; if they die, they have to start over.

Sieg played it on and off for seven years, never getting tired of it.

A month ago, he put on his helmet for the last time and successfully completed the crossing.

Suddenly arriving in another world, he was overwhelmed with shock and confusion.

Don't talk about it being a slap in the face or showing off. Sieg slept under the bridge for one night, covered with a small blanket, and wiping away tears inside the blanket.

Why...?

He gazed at the dazzling night sky and murmured to himself, like a child who had no candy.

However, no one pitied him, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and live on.

——【The World of Fire】.

The most distinctive feature of this land is its labyrinth. The people of the Sui world call the labyrinth "Sui Palace".

All extraordinary power originates from the Fire Palace.

People venture into the Fire Palace every day.

Some became rich overnight, while many more were buried in the Sui Palace.

As a modern Earthling, Sieg lacks courage and the toughness to face blades and bloodshed.

Fortunately, he had a skill to make a living.

Seven years of gaming, multiple playthroughs.

Sieg is very familiar with all the mechanics of "Love in the World of Fire". He can talk about everything, from the hidden treasures in the Fire Palace to the strengths and weaknesses of each profession, and even the personalities and hobbies of the top powerhouses.

As for a cheat code or unique ability, he also has one—

I need to have my license plate checked!

The hurried, stumbling cries for help drowned out the deafening noise on the port avenue and exploded in Sieg's mind.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

Sieg decisively turned around and strode into a deserted alley on the side.

Please, please!

[Respond to me, Lord of the Fire Palace... I need to verify the cards!]

The sound echoed repeatedly, filled with despair.

Sieg, unperturbed, reached out and pulled a long, black, silk-textured robe from thin air, which he then draped over his shoulders.

This is the "Mist Robe," which can conceal one's face.

at the same time.

A bright light emerged, gathering into a flickering white flame before Sieg's eyes.

Sieg stared intently, and through the flames, he saw a young girl kneeling on the grass, her fingers interlaced in prayer.

He raised his finger and touched the white flame.

……

……

First-tier beacon palace, Moon Forest.

"Where did you go?"

"Go look over there! If you don't kill her, no one will get away with it!"

The pain was excruciating, tearing at my very soul.

Every breath felt like torture; Peach believed she was doomed.

only……

No matter what, I cannot accept this.

She was a student of the great witch Oz, with an infinitely bright future ahead of her. How could she die here?

If you must hate someone, hate yourself for being naive.

She thought that only strangers would harm her, but she never expected that her half-sister would be so wicked as to commit murder!

A life-or-death situation.

Peach recalled an interesting story she had recently heard—

Within Blackscale City, a "Lord of the Fire Palace and God of Conquest" emerged. He is all-knowing and all-encompassing; if you dare to ask, he dares to answer.

He is particularly knowledgeable about the mechanism of the firework.

There is no puzzle he cannot solve, and he can even provide the correct and reliable solutions to deal with the leader of the Fire Palace.

To gain the help of the "Lord of the Fire Palace," the first step is...

"Use a treasure containing a great deal of magical power as a sacrifice. The quality of the sacrifice cannot be too poor, otherwise it will not be sincere enough, and the Lord of the Fire Palace may not respond, or may soon drive you away."

Peach ripped the necklace off her neck.

This is a keepsake left to her by her mother; the necklace features a precious sapphire imbued with magical power.

And then...

"Incantation. Repeat 'I want to verify the card'."

Peach gripped the sapphire necklace with both hands, her teeth chattering as she chanted the incantation: "I need to verify the jewel! I need to verify the jewel! Please, please... save me, Lord of the Fire Palace!"

"It's a magical fluctuation! She's over there!"

"Kill her! For the sake of the Second Miss!"

A roar came from beside my ear.

Peach opened her eyes in a panic and saw several torches piercing the night and rapidly approaching her. She had been exposed!

"don't want……"

As the assailant raised his knife, a dazzling light suddenly appeared.

My palm burned as I touched the peach.

The sapphire on the necklace melted into water, and endless white light engulfed her.

A feeling of weightlessness enveloped her entire body, followed by a strong wave of dizziness. Peach was shocked to find herself in a pitch-black, secret room.

"welcome."

A warm yet aged male voice rang out steadily.

A match was struck and ignited, and a hand reached out to light the kerosene lamp on the table.

The man, dressed in a black silk robe, sat behind a round table, his face obscured: "Have you run into some trouble, Miss?"

Peach is granted a pardon!

Having narrowly escaped death, she couldn't believe it was real, and tears streamed down her face: "You...you are—"

"I am the master of the Fire Palace. This is the 'Gate of Myriad Wonders'."

The Lord of the Fire Palace's voice reverberated, deeply moving.

Two chairs were placed in front of and behind the round table. The Lord of the Fire Palace sat in one, and the other was naturally reserved for Peach.

But the peach dared not approach.

She stopped at the edge of the light source, head bowed, hands clasped to her chest, as devoutly as possible: "Lord of the Fire Palace, please... save me! My sister wants to kill me; she tricked me into the Fire Palace, I..."

Hehe.

There are also family dramas to watch.

Beneath his black robe, Sieg revealed a gloating smile.

After transmigrating, he wasn't completely useless.

He turned his head and looked at the semi-transparent panel that had quietly appeared:

Name: Sieg

Race: Ancient

【Profession:/】

Rank: /

[Inherent Ability: Among All Wonders.]

[Between the Mysteries: Set a password. When someone provides enough magic and recites the correct password, you can pull them into a private space to communicate or trade with them.]

The duration of each skill's duration is related to the magic power it provides. You can expel all enemies beforehand, or actively provide magic power to extend the skill's duration.

If you don the "Robe of Mist" before entering the Realm of Mysteries, your face will be unseen, and your voice will be completely altered.

[Within the realm of all wonders, you may cast a conditional, fatal curse upon another. This curse will only take effect after you honestly explain the 'removal conditions' to the other party and receive their consent.]

[Current password: I want to verify my license.]

The realm of all wonders is a safe zone where no one can resort to violence.

[The myriad wonders can be upgraded.]

"Your sister wants to kill you?"

Sieg frowned, his voice slightly displeased: "Miss, have you misunderstood something? I am the master of the Fire Palace, only responsible for answering questions. Protecting lives is not my authority."
