An Yuan asked, "Xiao Ya, are you hiding something from me? Why can't you answer my question?"

"This... Can you promise me not to get angry?" said Han Ya. His cautious tone made An Yuan's fierceness subside.

An Yuan spoke, "Okay. I will decide to get angry or not after listening. You can confess now."

"I like you, A'Yuan." said Han Ya.

SILENCE~

He indeed confessed leaving everyone in astonishment. They were rendered speechless at this sight.

GASPED!

The audience reaction:

"Damn! He really confessed and it's straight to the point!"

Whistle* "Not a bad loverboy!!!"

"This batch of newbies are truly daring~ have they forgotten where they are?"

"Pfft! This is the first time I've seen someone confess their love surrounded by fatally injured people."

On the other hand beside them, Hei Anjing almost choked to death when the crepe he was about to swallow stopped at his throat.

Choke! COUGH! cough!

[Master!? Please drink water!]

Glug! GLUGGED!

Hei Anjing who freed himself from choking, "W-What's with this world's protagonist gong? Is there something wrong with his brain?"

[Master, you are too straightforward.]

"Who told him to confess his love? Isn't he being Interrogated by what identity he is hiding?" said Hei Anjing, a bit astonished.

As expected Professor An Yuan was dumbfounded when Han Ya suddenly confessed to him. He didn't know what to say and was completely speechless.

"Eh?"

Han Ya continued his words. He isn't like the original. He isn't timid to say what he wants and hates. He doesn't care about embarrassing himself as long he knew to himself what he wanted. Since the feelings, memories and Han Ya's life itself is already his then his obsession and passionate yearning for this man named An Yuan, he would never hide it like the original.

So he told him everything the original was hiding. With a serious expression on his face, his words look more believable than the original's casual teasing. According to his memories to gauge the attraction of An Yuan to him, he would love to joke around. Something like a half-hearted confession is frequent, light flirting is normal, etc. The original had done all this but since his actions seem to be a joke most of the time, An Yuan had treated all of his confession as a casual joke.

With a slight frown on the professor's face, he pinched Han Ya's arm and said, "Okay. Stop joking and just tell me what you want to say."

Han Ya held his hands and said, "I like you. I'm serious. I've been a veteran player from the red zone. Players from the red zone and above would be able to return in reality for a certain duration as long as you have enough accomplishments and gold coins."

"Are you serious?" asked An Yuan in disbelief.

"Our first meeting at the cafe. That time I had lost all hope to live. I used to have a team. We were known and called 'Return', our group channel is quite powerful. You could say that we are famous enough to be compared to the ranked players in the black zone. But all dreams had to end.

My former teammates had been massacred in the punishment mode and only I was able to survive. After escaping the punishment mode I've used my remaining gold coin to return to a reality where I was planning to end my life. But that day you saved me and since then I would return to reality frequently just to watch you from a distance but you would always spot me.

After that day I've done everything in my abilities to gather enough gold coins so I could frequently return to reality to see you. Those days were short yet it was peaceful and I was greedy for it. Spending too much time, in reality, made me greedy for it and I wish I could stay longer by your side.

And so on that day of the Olympiad Competition, I was planning to say goodbye to you as I wanted to be promoted to the Black Zone. If I become a black zone player, I would be given the special privilege to return to reality 5 months per year.

But who would have thought that you would have an accident that day." storied Han Ya.

Professor An Yuan asked, "Aren't you in the car that day?" he asked with a trembling voice.

"I wasn't. I was waiting for you at the competition venue only to receive a message from A'Tian that you had died in a car accident," said Han Ya.

An Yuan asked with ragged breathing as he realized something, "T-T-Then are you... One who..."

"What you are thinking is right. I didn't want you to die so... I..." Han Ya's words were left incomplete as they suddenly heard a world announcement.

{Shared Channel Group, 'Unnamed', had deemed to fail to complete the main missions requirement and completed only 2 of 4 main missions.

You will be pulled into the punishment mode for this failure. You have 3 hours to prepare.

Countdown now starting.

2 hours, 60 minutes, and 59 seconds.

2 hours, 60 minutes, and 58 seconds.

2 hours, 60 minutes, and 57 seconds.

2 hours, 60 minutes and....}

The countdown was still ongoing when their group of three was suddenly pulled into the standby white room for preparations. When all three of them had opened their eyes, a world of pure white had surrounded them from all angles.

Even An Yuan who just got his sense of sight back was confused and thought that he is still blind.

An Yuan said, "All white. Or am I dreaming? Am I still blind?"

"No. Look at me. Do you see me?" said Han Ya as he pulled the professor's arm to make him face himself.

An Yuan was welcomed with the familiar face of Han Ya. But unlike before the friendly aura and gentle demeanor he used to have is replaced with arrogance and indifference yet those gold eyes were tenderly looking at him.

Han Ya asked, "Can you finally see me now?"

"Un!"

The professor dazedly nods his head. He was staring at Han Ya's expressionless yet good-looking face. Short yet silky light blonde hair that glitters under the sunlight. Slightly angular yet a bit European features. Those phoenix-shaped eyes were a cheat. It made him look more tantalizing and hard to forget.

This man is obviously half Asian and half foreign with a more prominent Asian bloodline but his height and features are definitely foreign. Plus that arrogance to look down on anything in this world made him even more handsome paired with golden orbs that look holy like those angels written in the books.

If he had returned in reality, most people regardless of female or males would definitely fall for this type of prince-like face. He had the opposite attractiveness that Player Abyss possesses. If Player Lou Yan had a dangerous aura and perfect features like an exotic yet deadly poppy flower then Han Ya is arrogant yet noble like a purple gladiolus flower.

Han Ya is like a proud being that shouldn't be chained to my side. I'm not worthy. After all, I am just an ordinary person who only knows how to teach. Someone among the regulars, who would never be someone like Hei Anjing who is unhindered by anything and would do everything he wanted to achieve, regardless of reason or reality.

So An Yuan could give away a smile even if his real feeling is hidden behind it.

"I can see you, Xiao Ya," said An Yuan smiling

But for Han Ya, this kind of smile from the person he likes is too painful to see. He had to pull this person within his embrace to keep him by his side.

Seeing his reaction, An Yuan could only sigh and lightly pat Han Ya's back as if comforting him.

Only he heard Han Ya whisper to his ears, "I will wait for you to accept me. So let me stay by your side, A'Yuan."

The magnetic yet low-toned voice of Han ya lingers near An Yuan's ears leaving a tickling feeling making him giddy. He had totally forgotten that Han Ya hadn't completely told him how he was brought here as they had a more urgent situation at the moment.

It was until Hei Anjing's voice brought them to the reality that they remembered the penalty.

Hei Anjing spoke, "I do not mind you two flirting and I am not jealous! About it. Hmp! But unless you want to enter the world of Punishment without any preparations then you may continue."

[Master, are you envious of them?]

Gritting his teeth in anger, Hei Anjing replied, "I. Am. Not!"

Seeing his lord's about to lose his temper no longer teases him. System Yang knew that his lord must be missing his husband at this moment. Well, they would be meeting inside the game anyway, though it might take time for them to meet.

Hei Anjing could only absorb the energy inside the bloodline crystal. Since he had no other choice to entertain himself, he chose to try this thing to know whatever bloodline he could awaken. He sat in the lotus form and closed his eyes using his qi to look through the crystal.

Seeing Hei Anjing's actions, Han Ya and An Yuan finally recalled that special prize to open a bloodline suitable for them. The two followed Hei Anjing's lead and used the bloodline crystal as well.

Half an hour later, Hei Anjing opened his eyes. His deep blue eyes changed to silver and a cold white mist spread in the area. In a while, few snowflakes had hovered around him as if revering him for his existence.

[Isn't this... the Mo Clan's Bloodline? Does it even need to be awakened? I mean Master had longed to awaken your bloodline.]

"No. This is not a bloodline. It allows me to use my domain as a God while in my human soul form. This world is so weird. The Heavenly Laws of this world are treating me as their master. Did you do something, Yang?" asked Hei Anjing.

[I did not do anything of that sort, Master. Maybe because the highest authority of this world is Lord Ye's Soul fragment, Master who is his other half is also considered as their other master.]

"Possible. With this, I can at least use my domain even without changing to my God Form. How about the two protagonists?" asked Hei Anjing.

[They haven't woken up yet.]

The two moved from their original location and went to where An Yuan and Han Ya are. They haven't finished their awakening yet. Manager Gui and Manager Tian were startled because of their sudden arrival but they were curious at the same time.

Manager Gui spoke, [That was fast. Have you awakened a bloodline already?]

[Done already! What bloodline did you awaken?]

Hei Anjing and System Yang decided to lie. After all, this is a world that has no connection to Vearth. The Mo Bloodline is considered one of the most powerful bloodlines in the whole realm. It is a God-level bloodline.

With a sly smile on his face, Hei Anjing touched his ears, as expected System Yang understood his intention and helped him get that bloodline and alter it so his master could use it in this world.

Under the gazes of the little angel and little devil, some of Hei Anjing's features change as a small breeze of snowflakes surround him. His ears turn long like those high elves and his hair had turned completely white and become longer almost reaching the floor thankfully it braided with a few icicles to keep it together. Even his deep blue eyes turned completely silver. His features had changed from a heavenly beauty to a cold ethereal beauty that the elves possess.

[Ice Elves Bloodline!!!]

[That's a Royal grade bloodline!]

Exclaimed the two managers that handle Player An Yuan and Player Han Ya's needs.. They were astonished to see one awaken a royal grade bloodline on their first try.
