Link stared at his half-sister five years younger than him and asked word by word: "Your boyfriend fell into a coma because he played the game mailed to me?"

"It's true! He has been in a coma for many days, and even the doctor is helpless." Lin Li put a dirty package on the table. The recipient's name was written in the column, and he also knew the person who sent the package. Su Wen, who had stopped contacting elementary and junior high school classmates since he moved to the provincial capital.

The date on the postmark showed that it was sent ten years ago. Link's puzzled gaze made Lin Li look away unnaturally, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Ten years ago, Link lived at home, and Lin Li was also a ten-year-old villain. Only the stepmother could do things like intercepting letters. The truth made his already unhappy mood worse, and his tone became worse.

"I think you need to explain why my personal letter is in your hands."

Lin Li, who was already guilty, told the whole story. When she cleaned up the debris in the garage half a year ago, she accidentally found a package with Link's name written on it, knowing that it must be a good thing her mother did. She originally planned to return the goods to the original owner, but because Link rarely went home, she kept it in her room. If she hadn't been to visit Yuan Ye's house, she wouldn't have known that the package had been secretly taken away by her boyfriend.

Link opened the unpacked package, and there was only one CD without a printed layer in it except for the yellowed letter paper.

[I found something very interesting. Come and I'll wait for you in it.] The short twenty-one words are Su Wen's handwriting. Link would never believe that such a small CD can make people feel unconscious.

"It's true!" Lin Li took out a small book from her carry-on bag, "This is Yuan Ye's diary. You will know that I'm not lying after reading this."

"Don't you know that it is illegal to randomly read other people's privacy? Even if you are Yuan Ye's girlfriend, you have no right to peek at his diary!"

Link didn't answer, and Lin Li didn't take her hands back, and the two just stared at each other.

"I didn't believe it at first, but after I tried it, it..." Lin Li's expression became a little scared when she moved her eyes to the disc that was stuck by Link's fingers.

"Okay, I will read it. I will notify you if you find anything." After snatching the diary, Link pushed Lin Li out of the door on the grounds that it was too late.

The hesitant footsteps paved back and forth outside the door several times before leaving. Link's eyes fell on the CD without any mark. Their brother and sister's relationship was not harmonious, and they could even be described as bad. He knew very well that if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, she would never come to him.

A game that makes people fall into a coma? How is it possible...

With curiosity and doubt, Link would put the CD into the computer. After a short reading sound, the screen suddenly turned black, and even the sound of fans and electric current stopped. Only a slight breathing sound was left in the rental house. After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was no reaction. Just when he thought he was going to restart, a colorful CG suddenly appeared on the dark screen.

A large fish with a strange shape jumped out of the vast ocean. Before he could swallow the fish that had been driven to the water, a larger giant eagle fell from the sky, and its razor-like claws penetrated deep behind the fish and carried its prey back to the sky.

Both the quality and form of the picture are as good as the blockbuster movies produced in Hollywood. Is this game really from ten years ago? Then what surprised Link even more was still there.

The camera flew rapidly, and the scenery changed from the ocean to a desolate desert canyon. The war drum shook the sky, and the fierce wolf carried the army of orcs to the mountains like a tide. The target was a rock fortress built on the vertical cliff. The sound of trumpets sounded, and giant crossbows with stones and the longbow fired a rain of arrows. Just as the attack and defense confronted each other, the camera suddenly changed and turned into a lush and boundless forest.

The elves as fast as leopards ran quickly on the crisscrossing branches, dodging the oncoming meteor fire rain, and fighting back at the flame demons drilling out of the ground with glowing arrows. The exploded flames switched the picture to the frozen ice field ravaged by ice and snow. The corrupt corpses and skeletons that had lost their lives gathered together. The empty eye sockets were shining with a cold blue light, and from a distance they looked like an ice-blue ocean.

The perspective is constantly stretched, and finally becomes a blue planet wrapped in sea water. There is a thin installation bar at the bottom of the screen with the dark and deep starry sky as the background, and the progress is displayed as 1%.

Link, who was deeply attracted by CG, did not terminate the automatic installation of the game. He thought that even if the C drive was installed by default, he could wait until it was played before deleting it. While he was waiting enthusiastically, an old yellow parchment was spread out in the middle of the screen. The text composed of countless sand grains indicated that he had to answer the questions of the gods first in order to choose the profession with the best characteristics.

Link has encountered the game that determines career and attributes through a questionnaire survey before. Strangely, this game actually gives options for [Answer Questions] and [Exit]. Without thinking, he directly clicked the button to answer the question.

Along with the sound of sand flowing, a question with the accompanying choice unfolds on parchment.

【Are you satisfied with the world you are in?】

1 Satisfied.2 Dissatisfied.3 Hope there is a change.

What's this stupid question? Link twitched his mouth and chose the third option, and the new question was immediately released.

【What is the world in your eyes like?】

1 Beauty and harmony. 2 Chaos and ugliness. 3 Need to change urgently.

Link chose 3 again, and the questions he asked were stranger than the other one.

[Do you believe there are gods in the world?]

1 Believe.2 Not Believe.3 No miracles have been seen but does not deny the existence of God.

【If God fulfills your wish, your hope is…】

1. Love, 2. Money, 3. Rights, 4. Eternal Life, 5.

【Reason is…】

1. What is promised is not necessarily a god, but a demon. 2. I don’t believe in a pie falling from the sky. 3. My wishes are more than these. 4. Those choices are meaningless.

【What do you think makes sense?】

1 World Peace. 2 Unification and Equality Utopia. 3 Become a person who can change the world. 4 Maintain the balance of the world.

Every time Link chose the last item, just as his interest in the game was almost exhausted by boring questions, the refreshed questions finally became related to the game.

【Your ideal career is…】

1 Knight.2 Ranger.3 Son of Nature.

Looking at the three character models lined up, Link was both surprised and disappointed. The game with Xihuan as the background does not have high-profile professions such as warriors, mages, and thieves, or... is it the previous questionnaire that limited optional professions?

The eyes swept through the knight and the ranger one by one, and finally fell on the model marked "Son of Nature". Feathers, skins, tattoos, and various forms of birds and beasts are all filled with primitive and mysterious atmosphere.

If the answer you choose is really related to the character attributes, you can only choose a profession that looks like a druid.

Just as Link selected the Son of Nature, dozens of light columns of different colors suddenly appeared on the planet as the background. The ocean, mountains, forests, grasslands, and deserts were all located in sparsely populated areas. The character model turned into a light ball and circled down the yellow light column west of the continent.

After waiting for a while, the light ball flew to the end. Link glanced at the installation strip, and I fell! The progress was only 50%. I don’t know how long it will take to install it, so he simply picked up Yuan Ye’s diary to pass the time. The contents were all NPC’s names, preferences and areas that often appeared. The most recorded were the materials needed for various potions and the growth locations. Link yawned.

Just playing a game, is it necessary to take notes?

Take a look at the progress bar, 55%...

He was really sleepy, so Link decided to take a nap. He turned his back to the computer and didn't know that the title of "Return to Edgar" had been replaced with "Prologue - The Selected One".

Completed?

He heard the music vaguely, and Link spread his heavy eyelids and was immediately scared to death. At this moment, he was not lying in a small rental house of ten square meters, but fell rapidly from hundreds of meters high in a head-down position. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the ground, he instinctively opened his mouth.

“Ahhhh——”

Accompanied by the screams of horror, the sound of breaking through the air came above his head. As soon as Link raised his head, he saw a huge bird of prey, which looked like an eagle, swiftly dived rapidly, and his thick claws lifted him up in the waist when he was about to collide with the ground.

Link, who had temporarily saved his life, was taken back to the sky, and his only free eyes were wide open in a panic. He suddenly fell from mid-air, and the scenery that came into view was even more surprising.

The endless primeval forest extends to the end of the horizon with the rolling mountains. Among these towering trees that several people cannot embrace, it is particularly tall, and it is visually estimated that it is at least 100 meters above.

The purpose of the giant eagle was that special big tree. When he flew over the sky, Link experienced the feeling of free falling. After experiencing the difficult rolling in the air and almost being hung by the branches, he finally fell safely on a pile of thick fallen leaves. What greeted him was not the hungry young animal that was hungry in his imagination, but a blond-haired and pointed-eared elf.

Wait, elf?

Link rubbed his eyes, that's right! The one standing in front of him was indeed a unique creature in the Western Fantasy background. No matter what the setting was, he was the elf who was the favorite of the gods.

Before he could digest the shock caused by this series of sudden events, the giant eagle flapped its wings and landed, and its feet instantly turned into human form. Not only did it shrink to the size of an ordinary person, but even the feathers that reflected the purple luster turned into shaman-like clothing, both in shape and in the face, they appeared as male. They were about thirty years old, with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, and drooping corners of their mouths making him more and more serious.

In contrast, the elf's appearance tends to be neutral, with long light golden hair dispersed casually, and even plain white robes are worn to show an elegant and noble taste.

"Is this the new son of nature?"

“Further confirmation is needed.”

Confirming that he was not at risk for the time being, Link secretly looked around while two magical creatures were talking. He was at the top of the main branch of the giant tree. The flat place was about the size of a basketball court. There were countless fruits as big as coconuts on the curved side branches, flashing and looking like poor light bulbs. What was most surprising was that the yellowish-brown light column not far from the giant tree extended to the blue sky until it exceeded the range that the naked eye could observe.

The strong sense of vision reminds Link of the last scene of the game installation - a ball of light falling along the light column and a steep mountain with dense vegetation.

No...

Even the firm materialist was unavoidable at this moment. Could this be the reason why Yuan Ye was unconscious, a real RPG? He subconsciously denied this absurd idea, but could not explain that everything in front of him was surprisingly similar to the game CG.

Just as Link was struggling with whether he was dreaming or real game wear, the birdman handed him a shiny fruit that had just been picked from the branch.

Give me?

After reaching out, the rough shell immediately faded into a scattered fluorescent light. In a blink of an eye, the fruit that was originally the size of a coconut turned into a book.

"There is inheritance, Isol has recognized his qualifications." The giant eagle's changing humanoid expression was unhappy, and his blue-purple eyes staring at Link were full of contempt and disgust: "I am Hull, the enlightenment tutor who guides you in basic training."

Basic training? Enlightenment tutor? Otz, it’s really a game to wear...

If it were other times, Link might be happy to play exciting real-life RPGs, but under the premise that Yuan Ye was inexplicably asleep, he was more afraid of this weird game than curious.

Hull, who claims to be a mentor, told Link that he had been selected by the gods of nature and became the messenger who conveyed the will of the gods - the son of nature. Of course, it is still only the stage of selection. If he cannot pass the test, he will lose all the blessings he has obtained. The fruit of the book is called "inheritance", which is made of ancient guard trees growing on the spiritual veins, and can be recorded and stored to obtain power from the gods of nature. Because human knowledge is recorded and spread in words, Link's inheritance is also presented in the most acceptable way.

The A4 book is about ten centimeters thick in size, with a metal cover with white and black on the top and black on the bottom. Two circles of gold on the outside and silver on the inside are painted in the middle. The four-color crosshairs of red, blue, brown and green make this simple pattern look like a target + sight.

It turns out to be a skill book? It's so concrete...it can be held in your hand.

After weighing the booklet that looks thick but doesn't have much weight, Link felt a little disappointed. He originally thought that the "inheritance" reflected as a professional power would be something like weapons or armor, which would at least be practical.

"The inheritance records the knowledge of the Son of Nature since its birth, which requires perception to read. The higher the resonance, the more divine grace you will get." While explaining, Hull signaled Link to open the inheritance.

The moment the finger touched it, the text that was originally emitting slightly fluorescent suddenly burst out with a dazzling bright light, refracting a translucent image in the air.

The content on the first page is the origin of the world. In order to create life, the initial gods were born together to integrate themselves into the entire planet. Some transformed into plants, some transformed into animals. The Son of Nature also appeared during this period and are one of the oldest intelligent creatures.

Through three-dimensional holographic images, Link easily understood the meaning of the text. As the projection ended, the light attached to the page dimmed, and he turned the second page curiously.

The ancient gods assimilated with the planet have become the "pillars" that support the world. Some are mountains and some are oceans. They are of no limit, large and small. They are called natural gods by later generations. Each pillar is crucial. Once destroyed, the world will be unbalanced. The responsibility of the sons of nature is the protection pillar. They absorb magical creatures and wise humanoid creatures to form the original druids. The two seem to be the same, but in fact there are huge differences. The former is the messenger of God and the latter is the follower of God. Although they can use the natural power given by the gods, there are huge differences in power. Druids usually have only one talent, while the sons of nature who are favored by God can master two or even more talents.

After reading this explanation, Link secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not a useless profession. When he chose, he was worried that he would be a DND type druid, but now he seems to be more inclined to the fourth cultivator druid in World of Warcraft.

The content on the third page tells the story of the two major factions of the Son of Nature - the Guardian and the Punisher. The former lives in seclusion in the mountains, adheres to the responsibility of defending the "pillar" year after year, and only maintains a minimum communication with the outside world. The latter uses violence to punish creatures that destroy nature and balance, and uses any means to achieve their goals, and does not shy away from cooperating with evil creatures. They are divided into chaotic camps by many species.

Page 4 finally talks about the most critical part of the profession - talent. Transformation is the core ability of the Son of Nature. Exercising the power of the gods in the incarnation posture. The level of the divine family determines the strength of the deformation. Different gods give different powers. The four elements led by Isol, Gasos, Kaogo and Andrea are the highest among the Son of Nature, and the abilities they possess are also the strongest.

It happened to be broken at a critical position. Link was about to turn the page, but suddenly he felt dizzy and his hands and feet couldn't use any strength. The inheritance fell from his hands and turned into a scattered fluorescence at the moment when he was about to touch the ground.

"Using over-perception, let's stop here today."

Holding Link who was slowly sliding down, Hull took him to a nearby tree house, and explained that he would rest here and leave with the elves.

Apart from the hammock woven rattan, this cottage, which is entirely made of wooden boards, only a half-piece that can be used as a table and a chair. A thick layer of dust accumulates from the walls to the floor.

After the fatigue subsided, Link stood up and carefully checked the entire tree house inside and outside. He neither found any items that could be archived, nor did he appear like the interface that would appear silently in online novels. The inference that he relied on the storage points or magic items to get out of the game was not true, and he sat on the wooden stake in frustration.

What to do? Will you stay in the game from now on? What to do with the real body? Ah~~~ I don’t want to be in a coma like Yuan Ye.

Link, who was so anxious that he scratched his head, suddenly had an idea.

By the way! Don’t Japanese RPGs often trigger the plot after a night's sleep? Maybe this is the way to leave the game. Anyway, there is no other way now, so why not give it a try.

Lying back to the hammock, closing his eyes in anxiety and uneasiness. I don’t know if it was Zhen as the birdman said that it was excessively exhausting his mental power or that he wanted to return to reality, Link fell asleep quickly. When he woke up again, what caught his eye was his familiar decorations.

Really back!

The wall clock hand on the wall stopped at 12:30, only half an hour after falling asleep. Looking at the computer again, the excitement of returning to reality suddenly disappeared without a trace. The screen displayed was the simple tree house I had been waiting for before returning to reality, and a character who looked exactly like him was lying on the hammock.
Chapter completed!
