Barr stayed in the bedroom for a day and didn't come out, and Leia sat alone in the living room, never moving.

Barr's residence has only one room, one bedroom, and then a kitchen and bathroom, which is pitifully small. It's small enough, but it's not Baal's own, it's someone else's house he's renting. However, although it is small, it is enough to live alone.

But now Leia has decided to stay here for the time being, so it's more crowded.

Leia couldn't look at Barr like that, and she decided to stay here and take care of him.

Leia went out, but soon returned, carrying a lot of fruits and vegetables, and brought a maintenance worker.

It didn't take long for the repairman to fix the door that the two security guards had kicked in. The money was paid, and the repairman left happily.

Leia had a hard time in the kitchen, and a hearty dinner was ready. went to call Barr for dinner, and after a long time, Barr came out listlessly.

Without saying a word, he went back to his bedroom after eating.

At night, Leia slept on the couch covered with a blanket, and the night went by.

The next day, Barr and her still didn't have a word to say, but Leia optimistically prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner for him.

In this way, the two of them began a strange life of cohabitation.

Then a month finally passed.

Balmud had spent the month in a daze, and he felt as if centuries had passed.

The Genesis game is truly open to players around the world, and according to what Barr learned on the Internet, Lightyear's gaming equipment has sold more than a billion units in just one month.

And the money Barr bought for the game equipment before has already been returned. Lightyear has done a very good job of this.

More than a billion players poured into that game, and Barr was one of them.

Plugging in the game device, putting on the sensor helmet, and then he lay down on the bed, and after a period of shuttling, his consciousness entered that world.

The screen for building a character is still the same as last time, but the difference is that this time the career options are much richer. In addition to swordsmen, archers, magicians, and priests, there are also many professions such as thieves, warlocks, alchemists, judokas, gunsmiths, and so on.

However, Baal still chose the swordsman profession and finally entered the game.

The first thing that catches your eye is a clear blue sky with white clouds.

Then he looked down and saw that the green grass below was full of adventurers. Every time a flash of light flashes, adventurers appear out of thin air.

When the light flashed in front of Barr's eyes, he could feel the presence of his body.

This feeling is almost exactly the same as in reality, if you don't know it in advance, you still think that this world is real, as Leia said before, in this, it is really difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Tall mountains, wide rivers, all kinds of small animals, all kinds of towering trees, everything is so real.

If those things were created in another non-false real space with human power, it would be very difficult for people to believe that they were real. But in a supercomputer, it's different.

In computers, humans can create anything imaginable, so it is acceptable to create the world in the form of data.

Still, Barr didn't want to believe it, and even though he already did, he still believed to a certain extent... To be precise, I hope that when I return home, everything he sees and hears is false.

Unfortunately, Barr could not find any evidence to show the falsity of all this, because it was all so true and reasonable, without the slightest contradiction or loophole.

Ballai's purpose in entering the game is to meet Shanara and Margares again, are they still there?

To this end, Barr embarks on an adventure. However, when he worked hard for a while and finally purchased the world map, he was desperate to find that the terrain of the whole world had changed, there were no more misty mountains, no more level zenith, and even the Doomsday Mountains and the Temple of Doom no longer existed!

Scambrae, Lionheart, and Kutch are all gone, replaced by unfamiliar names and terrain!

The whole game world now, as Leia said, has indeed changed, but Barr doesn't want to give up. In the midst of this, he embarked on an adventure. He wished he had met the Spider Queen Shanara again, even if she didn't recognize him anymore, and Baal wanted to see her.

Soon, a year has passed, but in the outside world, I'm afraid it's only an hour or two.

Barr's adventure continues, he can't see Shanara, he won't give up.

Hopeless, though, Barr didn't know what else he could do other than look for a character like this who didn't know if it really existed.

Fast forward and another year passed, and Barr was completely desperate. He walked all over the rivers and mountains, but he could never find the spider cave, and he could no longer see any familiar figures.

So Barr began to wander aimlessly, in this ultra-realistic virtual game.

On this day, Barr walks on the road near the town.

Adventurers on the road are in action, and there is no need to look, a team adventure like them can be seen in any corner of this world.

The current game world is not trapped and unable to get out like last time, and now there is an "exit game" button on the character panel of every adventurer, and players can get out of the game anytime and anywhere.

So players who enjoy the game to the fullest are usually smiling happily, and people like Barr who have a bitter face all day long can hardly be seen.

Now Barr, wearing an ordinary robe, has not shaved for two years, and the beard on his chin is as dense as hair.

His eyes were full of vicissitudes, and he couldn't find the demeanor of the Lord of Destruction at all.

He was walking on the road when suddenly, a sorceress stopped in front of him.

Baal lowered his head, didn't even look at the magician, and tried to get around. However, the other party was obviously coming for him.

"Barr, come back with me."

A familiar voice rang out.

Barr felt his body tremble and looked up to see Leia's familiar face.

"Lei... Leia, it's you. ”

Leia hugged him and said, "Barr, come back with me!" ”

"Leia, tell me, where are Shannara?"

"You know the answer."

Barr felt his nose sour when he heard this, and as a man, tears flowed in front of the woman.

Leia hugged Barr tightly and said gently: "I know how you feel, please don't be sad anymore, I will always be by your side, come back with me, okay?" ”

Barr nodded, he had to accept the facts.

No matter how much he resisted such an outcome, he couldn't change the status quo at all.

After exiting the game, Barr realizes that it is already late at night. Looking at the alarm clock, I realized that although he had been in the game for two years, in reality, the time had only passed for half a day.

Barr opened the bedroom door and came to the living room. Leia was seen taking off her sensor helmet.

Leia threw herself into Barr's arms and said, "Let's get married." ”

"But, my identity..."

"It's okay, I don't care at all. When you become my husband, you will also become a person with status! ”

"I—" Barr's expression fell, "Leia, I don't want to lie to you, in my heart, Shanara and Margareth are the women I want to cherish for the rest of my life, but it's a pity that they... But it's illusory. ”

Leia kissed Barr on the mouth, then said, "I know, I know!" But, one day, you will find out that I will be your good wife! ”

"Thank you for taking care of me these days, thank you!" Barr hugged Leia tightly, and he finally let go of everything in the past and prepared to accept this new life.

Since everything is real, even if Barr doesn't want to, he has to accept it.

Shanara, Margareth, fictional characters that don't exist in reality, Baal truly loves them, but unfortunately they can only be in vain.

He will not forget them in the end, but at the same time, he must pick himself up and face a new life.

In his eyes, Leia was far from being able to compare with them, but Barr was still willing to live with her.

Reality is never perfect, otherwise, the unreal would not exist.

It is precisely the pursuit of perfection that people create illusions to make up for the lack of reality.

Barr sees the reality clearly, so he can only face it calmly.

"Leia, let's get married."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!!"
