15 minutes later,

"Alright, we're at the marked location," Jerry said, scratching his head in confusion. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

"Mhm," Haley nodded as they advanced into the clearing.

"What is this stench?" Haley's face twisted in disgust, and she quickly covered her nose.

"...Blood." Even James grew serious. Something about the clearing felt ominous.

They were still far from the source, but with each step closer, both their faces grew paler.

"Haley, be quick," Jerry urged.

SHWING

Jerry unsheathed his large sword, holding it forward while he guarded with the shield in his other hand.

They moved swiftly, Jerry on high alert, until they reached it.

UNGGHH

Haley's stomach churned, and right on the spot, she retched, a stream of liquid pouring from her mouth. It didn't stop for several seconds, and only after she'd emptied her gut did she dare to look at the scene again.

"What the f-fuck?" she whispered.

Before them lay the gigantic bodies of the trolls, their massive forms strewn across the clearing. The duo surveyed the aftermath of what could only be described as a bloodbath, chills running down their spines.@@@@

Jerry crouched down, gingerly touching one half of a corpse, dumbfounded.

"It's so clean... How??" he muttered, but Haley was too shocked to respond. She was still reeling from the carnage that had taken place.

"Quickly, put every part of the trolls inside the inventory, Haley. We need to leave. Now."

Haley didn't respond, but she followed the command without hesitation. Her hands trembled as she touched each part, causing the bodies to vanish one by one.

The silhouette gradually took the shape of a beautiful woman with golden hair. Lucas couldn't recall if she had looked the same 16 years ago when they first met, but it didn't matter.

-"It's good to see you too, Lucas Garde."- She smiled, though her eyes remained emotionless and dead.

-"I have prepared some tea for you."- The robotic voice echoed again as the white particles compressed into a small, luxurious set of tables and chairs.

One look at the chair, and Lucas felt a wave of nostalgia. It promised comfort, with high, elegantly curved backs and detailed carvings that matched the table's motifs.

With a smile, Lucas moved toward it, his fingers brushing the chair's surface.

The table appeared to be made of high-quality wood, inlaid with mother-of-pearl designs that Lucas admired. The patterns on the legs were carved with elegant scrollwork, and even the edges were adorned with fine detailing.

"What a nostalgic sight. How did you replicate it so perfectly?" Lucas asked, clearly in a good mood.

-"I didn't. I simply used one of the memories you cherish. It all came from your mind."- The overseer replied with a smile.

"I made it for someone," Lucas said, tapping the table lightly. "We used to sit here for hours, just talking."

As the good memories flooded his mind, Lucas's expression shifted to one of irritation.

-"I can see and feel how aggrieved you are. There's no need to speak about it."-

"Then you have to give me an answer, Overseer. I NEED TO KNOW." Lucas gritted his teeth and struggled to control the anger building within him.

The overseer studied Lucas for a few moments, her face calm, before another smile spread across her face.

-"It's time for you to know some things."- She said, continuing, -"Had you been at your current level when we first met, many things would have been resolved."-

"OVERSEER, PLEASE GIVE ME AN ANSWER. I CAN'T HOLD BACK..." Lucas's voice trembled with barely restrained fury.

-"My apologies, that was crude of me. The simple answer is, yes. The world you were in was real."-

The words hit Lucas like a physical blow. His eyes blinked rapidly as he processed them.

A heavy silence filled the room until, finally, Lucas's legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees.
