Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 41

[Your MP regeneration will increase with your physique level. However, note that if your cultivation went wrong, your body in the real world would malfunction, and the link between your soul and your body will be severed. Meaning, you will die in both worlds. So don’t rush to level up like an idiot, or you will die. Well, you are all going to die in the end, anyway.]

[Your physique points will automatically increase to 800 points. You will need to cultivate 200 points to awaken your cultivation system. You can gain 200 points by the three ways I stated not long ago.]

After insulting the players for some minutes, Gabriel disappeared, and everyone returned to where they were.

The players who were in the dungeon and the tower were teleported back. And because of that, certain players were caught off guard and died from the monsters’ attacks.

After Gabriel’s announcement, the players who were ignorant and oblivious before started taking the game seriously.

The players now had a reason and incentive to play the game and get stronger. They had a reason to go back to their world. All the players had new hope.

However, what about the NPCs?

Just like the players, they were also trapped in an unknown world, with no memories or life. They only had one goal, and that was to fulfill the role they were given.

It had been a week since Gabriel’s announcement, and the lifestyle of the players had drastically changed. However, there were still a few percent of players who didn’t care about anything.

To them, the real world was hell. Some wanted to run away with their jobs, some with their family, some with their problems, while some with their lives.

To them, this world was heaven, and they were given a second chance to start over everything from scratch.

Zach was helping out Shay and Kayden with the dungeons from floor 5, and he did that for a week.

Shay leveled up to level 13, and Kayden leveled up to level 11. They were now able to fight alone without any need of Zach’s help, at least to the lower floors.

In the nighttime, Zach would go to clear dungeons with Aurora and have a fun time, a pure one. Zach had Aurora had gotten a lot closer, and their Duo was absolute.

They had gotten used to each other’s fighting styles, and both of them knew what attack the other one was going to use even before doing it.

Zach and Aurora cleared up to floor 50th in a week.

Zach leveled up to level 21 and Aurora to level 20.

Within a week, Zach had finished a couple of quests and gained rewards.

"Shall we go back now?" Aurora asked with a grin on her face.

"Yeah." Zach nodded and exited the dungeon with Aurora.

On their way back to town, Aurora furrowed her brows and pushed Zach to the side. Zach barely managed not to fall. He then dashed at Aurora and chased after her to take his revenge by pushing her down.

Aurora started running, but Zach tackled Aurora from behind and pinned her down.

Aurora’s face flushed as she averted her face to avoid eye contact with Zach.

"Liar," she muttered.

Zach raised his brows with a confused look on his face and asked, "What? When did I lie?"

"You promised me you would come to cohabitate at my house with me after a week, but you never came," Aurora uttered in a disdainful tone.

"...." Zach didn’t say anything and stared at Aurora.

Aurora was forced to look into Zach’s eyes to see his reaction.

"I said it on the spur of the moment. After thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that living together is a bad idea," Zach asserted in a solemn voice.

"Why?"

"You are a girl, and I am a boy. Things can happen that we both might regret later on."

"Things like...?" Aurora asked with a curious yet calm look on her face.

"If you don’t even know that, then I am glad I chose not to move in with you."

"Of course, I know what you are talking about!" Aurora yelled with her eyes closed. "Can’t you see I am playing dumb?"

Zach stood up and uttered, "I almost forgot you are a girl, and girls are always like that."

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing." Zach walked forward and said, "Let’s go now. I am hungry."

Aurora followed Zach for a while, then asked, "Can I ask why you broke up with your girlfriend?"

"..."

"Come on. I am curious."

"Why?" Zach asked without looking back.

"It’s hard to imagine you having a girlfriend with your personality," Aurora replied with a grin. She chuckled and said, "Come on! Tell me~ I am curious."

After a brief silence, Zach uttered, "It wasn’t working out, I guess?"

"Meaning?"

"Our relationship was wild, to begin with."

"So... it was a toxic relationship?" Aurora asked with a calm look on her face.

"Worse than that..."

"What can be worse than a toxic relationship?"

"A loveless relationship." After a brief pause, Zah continued, "Well, the reason we broke up is that she was moving out."

"Moving to another city?"

"No."

"Another country?" Aurora guessed.

"No. She went somewhere far away."

Aurora’s face turned pale after hearing that. She slowly gulped down and asked in a trembling voice: "I am sorry. I didn’t know she died—"

"She isn’t dead," Zach interrupted Aurora and uttered, "She went to mars."

"Oh!"

After that, Aurora didn’t ask Zach anything. They went to the restaurant and ate dinner together.

’Now then. It is time to ascend to the first realm.’
