At this age, when emotions were budding, he had saved Christine from the tragedy. However, he


    couldn’t stop her from having wild ideas.


    Carlisle decided it was best to keep his distance from Christine since his heart nged to someone else.


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    There was no response from Christine for a long time. He assumed she probably went offline. It wasn’t


    easy for her to ess the inte as she didn’t own a phone orputer,


    Closing the pop–up window, Carlisle navigated his “Friend’s List” and located Sarah in a separate


    group.


    Sarah’s MSN messenger username was “Fallen Angel“.


    It had been over 40 days since hest messaged Sarah. And within those 40 days, she had not replied


    to


    any of his messages.


    But Sarah had a phone and was always online.


    He resisted the urge to remove Sarah from his list after a moment of hesitation. Instead, he added her


    to


    a ss group..


    “Carl, go online. Let’s y The Legendary Tale!” Sean shouted from across the room.


    “You go ahead,” Carlisle replied. He opened the ss group and found the MSN ount of the group


    admin, “Frosty Gal. He clicked to add her as a friend.


    It was Wanda’s MSN username.


    Besides Sarah, this was the second female ssmate Carlisle had added on MSN,


    He waited ten minutes and had no response. Then, he opened The Legendary Tale to reminisce about


    his


    youth.


    “Sean, where are you? I’lle to you.”


    Carlisle yed the role of the Wizard. His current rank stood at 42, nearing the highest rank of 47,


    Meanwhile, Sean’s Warrior role had already reached rank 45. Despite his high rank, hecked


    equipment and struggled to make an impact in the guild.


    “I’m at the Demon Valley with some other guild members. You y on your own for a while!”


    Sean stared straight at theputer screen. His hands were constantly on the mouse and keyboard.


    Feeling a bit restless, Carlisle decided to join the fight against the Death Lord in Demon Valley.


    The Demon Valley had just beenunched this year. There was a high chance for the Death Lord to


    drop at


    Judgment.


    This had drawn a significant yer base to Demon Valley.


    As soon as the Death Lord respawned, hordes of yers swarmed over.


    Carlisle casually killed several Skeleton Monsters and left the battlefield.


    With his subpar equipment, he couldn’t withstand the attacks from those affluent yers.


    Carlisle lost interest after he yed for a while.


    He returned to the main server and logged off. He then proceeded to open the official website of The


    Mystical Journey.


    In his previous life, a coworker often spent his spare time immersed in The


    il Journey


    With twoputers and ten ounts, he made over ten thousand dors a month.


    It was noteworthy as that was in 2016 when The Mystical Journey had already lost arge number of


    its yers


    The game was at its peak from the year 2002 to 2005.


    Although it was 2004 now, there weren’t many professional gold farming teams.


    As the poprity ofputers grew in the future, the decline of the gaming industry gradually led to


    the decline of game ount farming.


    The Mystical Journey, God of Doom 2, and Legends of Fiery Passion were the three most popr


    games. now. They could still make some money in the next two years.


    Carlisle went downstairs to the toilet and then took a stroll around the inte cafe.


    After a quick survey, he noticed there were about 20 people ying Legends of Fiery Passion, ten


    ying The Mystical Journey, and another ten ying God of Doom 2.


    The rest yed MapleStory and other single–yer games


    These three games were certainly still mainstream.


    Carlisle bought a bottle of water and then found someone ying The Mystical Journey to join him.


    Initially, he nned to have Sean join him. But Sean became too excited as soon as he started his


    game.


    Around one or two in the morning, Kade shamelessly asked Sean to borrow three dors to buy a


    microwave meal.


    Sean pped ten dors on the table. “Grab one for me and Carl. Use the rest to buy yourself some


    water!


    “Sure thing.” Kade went downstairs happily with the money.


    In no time, he returned with two steaming boxes of microwave meals.


    By then, the person who yed The Mystical Journey with Carlisle had already left.


    Sean switched to theputer next to Carlisle.


    The two teamed up to take on the Death Lord in the Demon Valley.


    Chapte


    “How’s it going? Any luck with equipment tonight?” Carlisle asked casually between bites.


    “Not even a strand of hair, let alone a skill book!” Sean replied irritably.


    Carlisle squinted his eyes. “When things don’t go as expected, something’s probably off. I’m logging in


    now. We’ll tackle the Death Lord togetherter!”
