The King Meets His Avatar

Disbelief was clearly written all over Ye Qiu's face.

Earlier when he woke up to this dream, he had clearly felt the dew from the grass. But he had not felt any exhaustion while doing the mission. He had attributed this detail to the fact that what was happening was inside his dream. But now, suddenly faced with the System's message he was intrigued.

There was only one way to know if he could feel pain. And that was to poke himself and poke, he did.

A sudden sting of pain shot through his hand where he had poked himself with his dagger and immediately his eyes watered. But there was something worse.

THE SYSTEM: Player received damage. Remaining Health 90%. Warning. Bleed in progress. Player's health will continue to decrease if he does not get healed.

He couldn't believe what was happening. In order to complete the first mission. He had levelled up fast and had not even chosen his profession. He was already level 50 but his class was Unspecialised.

And earlier he had got a Viper's Dagger from a monster's drop while farming for XP and now he had poked himself with this dagger that had Bleed effect.

He had not paid any attention to his stats. And now he saw that his Health stat was very low. He may be level 50 now but his health stat was that of a level 10. He had many skill points and so he tried to increase his health but he saw that his stats were all locked.

From the moment he arrived to this dream, he didn't know how but he could see his stats clearly in his mind whenever he wanted to check. And now he saw that his health was rapidly decreasing due to the bleed effect.

He had to find a priest as soon as possible if not he was going to die and there was no one but himself to blame.

And he could also see that his arm where he had poked with the dagger was turning blue and numb.

The NPC called Abigail had given him a shitty pill. What Hua Pill! That pill should be called Shit Pill!

With a HP that was rapidly draining he had no choice but to look for other players or characters in this Glory Dreamworld.

BUT a dream does not make you feel pain. So, now he had a nagging feeling that he had transmigrated into the Glory World. But then, where is his One Autumn Leaf and what happened to his real body? Did he die? He was only 25! How did he even die? He clearly remembered that he felt asleep while playing Glory.

He refused to believe that he died. But what could explain this phenomenon now?!

He still had his memories, that he was sure.He can think about this later.

But first, he needed to find a priest first!

He went back to the Beginner's Village in the hope of finding a priest. But there were only NPCs in the village. And he couldn't find a single priest in the whole of the village. Not even a priest but there was not a single player in the whole of the village

Where were all the players in Glory?!

Was he going to die from his own dagger wound?

Just then the system answered his query.

THE SYSTEM: Glory is under maintenance. Server will be available in 10 minutes.

His health was now 45%.

And at the rate at which his HP was dropping, he knew that it will be at 8% after 10 minutes. He had to quickly look for a priest when the Game had been restored. He couldn't feel his left arm at all now. It was limply hanging by his side now.

Glory sure was playing a cruel joke on him for the FIRST TIME in his 10 years of Glory life.
