When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

On the other side of the fog, at the junction, there is a towering twin-peaked mountain, and a small church stands on the edge of the cliff.

A finger witch with a serene face is kneeling quietly under the statue of the god, waiting for the arrival of her faded person. She will guide the returning person who has a sacred mission to embark on the road to becoming a king, so that this broken land can be transformed. And the chaotic borderland full of fighting once again returned under the leadership of the king, moving towards order and peace.

“May you bless and guide us.”

The Finger Witch lowered her head, clasped her hands, and uttered a sincere prayer.

She has been waiting here for a long time, but the faded one who belongs to her has never arrived. Fortunately, she has enough patience, and she will wait here quietly no matter how long it takes.

Under the light of the golden tree, the faded ones from afar will embark on the path that has been destined for a long time, and the rule of the new king will finally come.

She firmly believed in this, just like the unbreakable faith in her heart.

In this journey to fight for the throne, Lord Faded One may be late, but he will never be absent.

"Squeak-"

With an almost imperceptible sound, the door of the church was slowly opened from the outside, and a figure strolled in. His figure was completely covered by a wide black cloak, and even the shoes under his feet were not exposed. Not at all, as if he was afraid of being glimpsed at what was hidden under his cloak.

Silently, the cloaked man slowly approached the Finger Witch who was kneeling under the statue, but the witch who had been waiting devoutly for the Faded One was completely unaware of this.

Soon, the cloaked man stood behind the Finger Witch. He squatted down silently, and from the wide cloak, a cold silver dagger poked out from his hand.

The handle of the dagger was covered with exquisite and luxurious patterns, and it seemed that it was not something that ordinary people could afford.

Wordlessly, the cloaked man slowly approached the fingered witch's back, pierced the sharp silver dagger into her back, and turned the dagger fiercely, completely crushing the fragile heart.

"Um...ho..."

The sharp stinging awakened the finger witch from her waiting. A look of horror appeared on her peaceful face, and her delicate lips trembled slightly, but she could not make a sound. There seemed to be some kind of curse attached to the silver dagger, which sealed her When her life was taken away, it also took away almost all her physical strength.

"Hehehe..."

After this unwitnessed murder ended, the cloaked man let out a hoarse laugh, with a bit of madness in it, as if he had achieved some great purpose.

He stood next to the Finger Witch and watched her fall with blood flowing. After there was no more sound, he slowly walked out of the church and closed the door with his backhand, hiding all the sins.

However, the cloaked man did not know that after he left, the body of the Finger Witch miraculously moved.

She raised her head from the pool of blood, with a determined expression on her quiet face. She stretched out her two fingers tremblingly, and wrote slowly and forcefully on the ground with her own blood.

Soon, with some unknown will, the fingered witch finally finished writing what she wanted to express. With an expression of regret and guilt, she closed her eyes and died completely.

......

"Falling leaves bring messages..."

"On the other side of the fog, in our hometown 'Boundary', in the cold and thick night, the assassins with black knives moved forward in the darkness and assassinated the 'Golden Prince' Godwin..."

"And his mother, the Eternal Queen Malika, fell into madness and then disappeared..."

"The symbol of the law of the junction, the great Elden Ring has been broken since then..."

"Her other descendants, the demigods, obtained the fragments of the ring, but fell into the wrong path because of that power. In order to pursue the throne, they triggered the fragment war..."

"But at the end of the war, no one wins, so the Supreme Will gives up on the incompetent demigods and throws blessings beyond the border..."

"So, O faded one, sleepless dead—"

"The blessing that was lost a long time ago has returned to us, and the sacred golden tree is calling out!"

"The unknown faded ones, go and regain your former glory. Under the guidance of the blessing, go through the thick fog and arrive at the junction, go and see the Elden Ring, and become the King of Elden! "

The chattering, continuous words fell again and again, reaching Li Shanren's ears, causing great trouble to his sleep.

"Who is it...can you please stop making noise? Don't disturb others' dreams."

He muttered drowsily, lying on the ground and turning over, as if he could put the vigorous and ancient voice behind him.

But obviously, this approach was of no use. The sound still poured into his ears without missing a beat, intruding on his brain.

Li Shanren couldn't sleep.

He moved his eyelids with great effort, and his brain, which had been silent for an unknown amount of time, finally began to function, slowly analyzing the meaning of the voice clearly, so that his lazy master could understand everything that these words meant.

Soon, Li Shanren heard everything clearly, and then he suddenly woke up while still wanting to sleep back.

"what?!"

He sat up suddenly, listening to the voice echoing in all directions with a dull expression on his face, and familiar memories gradually came to his mind.

Yes, he was very familiar with this introduction, which was similar to the beginning of a game or novel. Even a long time ago, when he first heard this introduction, he was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Because this was the opening CG introduction of the Souls game that he was still playing at three in the morning before he traveled through time.

Why am I hearing this?

Li Shanren looked around and found that there was nothing around him, almost completely shrouded in darkness, and there was a thick layer of fog in front of him. On the opposite side of the fog, there was a faint golden light coming through, as if guiding him there.

"I am...that after traveling to the Western fantasy world, I travel to the game again??!"

Li Shanren felt that he needed to calm down. Surrounded by the old voice, he began to recall what happened before he fell asleep.

He remembered that he seemed to have taken Alice to find an orphanage to place her in, although the orphanage looked a bit suspicious.

But under the circumstances, there was no other choice but to let Alice go in and have a look first, and then leave if she felt it was inappropriate.

When Alice left with the bald old man in the orphanage, because he could not leave alone, he began to squat by the pool and watch the fish out of boredom. After watching, he fell asleep, and then... came here.

why?

What exactly caused him to travel through time again?

It's probably... it's that orphanage's problem!

After all, he had been miserable in that different world for a month without triggering another time travel, so it shouldn't have much to do with time. And if it was Alice's problem, then last night, Alice slept with him At that time, he had already traveled through time, and there was no need to wait until the next day.

Unless the matter of time travel requires reading and loading...

Remove the impossible options and the only questionable option left is the orphanage!
