"Nitya...... Nitya...... "In the darkness, I heard a familiar voice calling softly to me.

Contest...... Severn?

My heart pounded violently, and my consciousness awoke in the darkness of chaos.

Rising from the ground, I groped in the dark *dark*.

Suddenly, a little light appeared in front of me.

"Severn, is that you?" I confirmed with trepidation in a trembling voice.

The light expanded little by little, and the distant scene gradually became clearer.

"I ...... I'm not dreaming, am I? "I looked at the person in front of me incredulously.

It's still the same familiar shape, familiar face, familiar smile......

Severn was still wearing his favorite training uniform, with a dark blue hairband with dark lines.

He stood in the distance in that light......

He stood there from afar, real and vividly.

If it weren't for the fact that my mind was still clear at the moment......

If it weren't for me mentally telling myself over and over again: don't be stupid, he's dead, he shouldn't be here at all.

I'm afraid I've lost my mind by now.

I thought I would run like crazy and hug him, kiss him, and say to him: I'm sorry.

But I didn't.

I froze in place, unable to move even a single step away.

"Nitya......" Severn's eyes were full of tenderness after a long absence, and I almost sank into it.

He walked towards me step by step.

And I, like a person who has drowned to the point of dying, stands stiffly in place, and even breathing is a luxury.

He stopped in front of me, his palms covering my cheeks, and a warm touch came.

"Am I not dreaming?" I muttered to myself, in a voice that only me and he could hear.

"I miss you so much." He said again.

"No, it can't be," I took a step back.

He took another step closer: "Don't be afraid, don't hide from me." ”

For some reason, I really couldn't bear to see the hurt look on that familiar face.

I stretched out my right hand, and my fingertips touched his cold face: "Severn...... Is it really you? ”

At this moment, I can't say anything other than his name.

Although I knew that I must be in a dream at this moment, I was deeply trapped in it.

"Who am I not?" Severn smiled.

"I thought that Black Flame guy had come out and teased me again." I said with an apologetic wry smile.

"But why should I see you again, Severn?" I couldn't wait to say the question in my mind: "I thought ......"

"You think I'm dead, right?" He still smiled softly.

"Isn't it?" It was as if I was seeing a light in the darkness and waiting for his answer.

"Don't you understand? Nitya, Severn is dead, but I am not. ”

My eyes widened, and it took me a moment to understand what he meant.

"What do you mean......"

"I remember, everything in reality." He looked at me steadfastly.

I was about to say something more, but suddenly the sky changed color, and a puff of smoke separated me from Severn, and I tried to hold his hand in vain.

"Alright, little Nitya, visitation time is over." With the voice of a woman, Isera, the king of dreams, suddenly appeared in front of me.

She seemed to be in a good mood, smiling, and striding towards me.

I don't know why I suddenly panicked, this was the first time I'd ever seen Ysera feel this way.

The first few times I saw her, I was probably not hostile to her because of the belief and trust I had in her character in the game, but this time......

She abruptly interrupted my meeting with Severn and called it a "visitation"?

"Why is Severn here?" I asked, repeating in my mind that I had to calm down.

Ysera raised an eyebrow and stared at my face, as if trying to capture my emotions on my face: "The characters in his game world are dead, only the consciousness of the deity remains, this is the dream world, of course he will be here." ”

She stood in front of me with a look of haughty disdain on her face.

I looked at her coldly: "Is this a threat?" Severn is your hostage? ”

Ysera was not surprised to see that I was angry, but laughed: "Little Nitia, you know, I have a bet with someone else, and I don't want to lose......"

"What the hell do you want from me?" I clasped my hands and controlled my anger.

"I just wanted to remind you that you've been delayed for too much time in the battle of Angela," Ysera said, nonchalantly playing with a tuft of green hair in her ear.

"I need comrades!" I yelled at her in a fit of rage, "If you really want me to win, you should know that I can't win the battle of Angela on my own!" ”

"Hehe," Isera chuckled, and the sound of a beautiful laugh sounded so harsh to me.

"Interesting," she said, "why do you think you can win?" ”

At this point, I was completely stupid, and almost blurted out: "Since you think I can't win, why do you want to bet with others?" ”

Ysera raised her head, as if she was also thinking about this question, and replied for a long time: "Probably, because I believe in - miracles?" ”

I couldn't believe my ears.

Marvel?

Is Ysera naïve or mentally devoid of something, how do I go about creating a miracle? In this virtual world?

"Okay, okay, don't talk this nonsense, your little lover Saiwen will settle on my side for the time being. Don't worry, you'll see Angela again when you're done fighting. ”

Hearing this, I almost felt the urge to go up and beat her, but I knew very well that I didn't have the ability to do that now.

"Your trial has passed, and you have also obtained the Feather of Avina, to be honest, I didn't expect you to get this far."

"Disappointed you?" I sarcastically said.

"Hey, little Nitya, don't talk to me like that." She pretended to be sad and shook her head and said, "If you still want to see Severn again." ”

I have to admit that this sentence almost hit my Achilles heel, and my tone immediately softened: "So, what should I do now?" ”

"Make your choice." Ysera said.

"What choice?"

"You have to choose, your comrades, or Severn."

With that, Ysera opened the door of the dream to reality, and I looked at the door of chaos, confused.

Severn is already trapped in the dream world, how else to choose?

As I walked out the door, I pondered the meaning of Ysera's words.

Could it be that the victory in the battle of Angela required me to sacrifice my friends?

If so, I'd rather die here with them!

I was about to ask the doubts in my heart, but when I turned around, where was the shadow of Ysera behind me?

The fog around me gradually lifted, and I saw everything clearly.

"Coming out?"

Hearing Terridas' voice made me reaffirm that I was back in the game world.

Tyridas rubbed my head, and the teacher patted me on the shoulder.

I know, I completed my trial, I succeeded.

However, I looked at the sky and felt that I was just a small piece in the chessboard between heaven and earth.

I had to go on because I had no choice.
