Jared soon realized virtual-novel.net was in the middle of a dungeon.
“This looks very familiar. Where am I?” virtual-novel.net muttered under his breath.
A pucker formed between his eyebrows. At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt disoriented, making it hard for virtual-novel.net to discern whether virtual-novel.net was in a dream or reality.
“Jared? Jared!”
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net seemed to hear someone calling his name Jared looked over his shoulder. To his surprise, virtual-novel.net saw Josephine locked up in a prison cell.
His heart leaped with joy, and virtual-novel.net dashed toward her.
“Josephine, is that you? Josephine!” virtual-novel.net cried out.
Overwhelmed with emotions, Jared held virtual-novel.net hands tightly.
“I can’t believe I get to see you again. It feels like a dream!” virtual-novel.net said excitedly, gazing at Josephine with a tender expression.
The woman looked at virtual-novel.net tearfully. “This isn’t a dream, this is real. I’ve been waiting for you all the while. I missed you so much…”
“Don’t cry. I’ll definitely save you, so don’t worry!” Jared wiped virtual-novel.net tears away gently as virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net his word.
To his surprise, Josephine tried to persuade virtual-novel.net to leave. “Jared, you don’t have to save me. I’m satisfied to get to see you one last time. You should leave now!”
“No! I won’t leave. Even if I have to destroy this dungeon, I must save you!” virtual-novel.net responded with a look of determination.
A powerful aura burst out of his body, and virtual-novel.net started punching the cell before him.
I must destroy the cell and save Josephine!
In Flaxseed’s point of view, however, Jared had his hand firmly pressed against the boulder the whole time.
The drastic change in Jared’s expression, as well as the rising intensity of his aura, made Flaxseed nervous.
“Shoot, he’s a lovesick fool!” Flaxseed muttered under his breath, his heart sinking at the gravity of the situation.
Desperate, virtual-novel.net reached for a yellow piece of paper, bit his finger, and used his blood to draw something on it while muttering cryptic words.
Soon, a charm was made. He then stuck it on Jared’s forehead. A beam of red light entered Jared’s mind.
In the dungeon, Jared, who was striking the cell nonstop with his arms, suddenly froze in his tracks.
Staring at Josephine blankly, virtual-novel.net stuttered, “Y You’re not Josephine. You’re not her…”
“Jared, what’s wrong? Why did you say that?” Josephine sobbed.
“No, you’re not her… I’m sure of that…” Jared shut his eyes and began chanting the calming incantation to clear his head.
Yet, even after chanting the calming incantation for a long time, virtual-novel.net still saw Josephine in front of virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net opened his eyes. He had not left the dungeon either.
“Huh? Isn’t this an illusion?” Jared’s eyes widened in shock.
“Jared, what are you doing? You’re breaking my heart,” Josephine wailed.
That panicked virtual-novel.net greatly.
This isn’t an illusion!
“I’m sorry, Josephine. I really am. Let me save you now,” virtual-novel.net cooed.
His palms shone brilliantly as virtual-novel.net delivered an attack that crushed the cells into pieces. Without hesitation, Josephine rushed out and leaped into Jared’s arms. With open arms, virtual-novel.net embraced her. She felt tangible and warm to the touch.
“Jared, don’t leave me again, okay?” Josephine gazed at virtual-novel.net lovingly.
“Okay. I will stay by your side forever!” Jared vowed and pecked virtual-novel.net on virtual-novel.net forehead.
While virtual-novel.net was lost in love, Flaxseed was anxious beyond words.
“Oh, what a lovesick fool!” the latter muttered as virtual-novel.net paced back and forth restlessly.
In the end, virtual-novel.net stuck another charm on Jared’s body. Immediately afterward, his voice sounded in Jared’s mind.
“Jared, wake up. Everything is fake. Nothing is real! Did you forget what I said?”
Having recognized Flaxseed’s voice, Jared was stunned.
