Dr. Cha Eunhee from the rehabilitation hospital was checking on her main patient, like she did every morning.
“Aren’t you tired? Maybe you should rest some from Royal Road?”
“…”
Seoyoon, like always, kept silent, which was not a surprise for her doctor. She was submerged deep into herself, and didn’t show any reaction on the outside, but that didn’t mean she was rejecting everything. Usually Seoyoon would follow the advice of people who genuinely cared for her.
‘Looks like i should accept that I’m in a dead-end. Seoyoon is still not talking, despite all the treatment methods… Maybe it’s time to try something different?’
Dr. Cha Eunhee started to think.
Royal Road was one of the newest treatments for people, who were shutting themselves off from the outside world. Once they started to play and got a taste of life in the game, their status in reality would start to improve.
However despite her long stay in the game, Seoyoon’s state did not change at all.
‘Should i push her harder? But such strong-willed people like Seoyoon are better off when encouraged to change on their own. The use of medications, hypnosis and other means may only make it worse…’
As a very experienced psychologist, Cha Eunhee was the most worried that her patient will become shut in so deep, that there will be no way to bring her back. Seoyoon was already on this path.
‘She doesn’t express any emotions, so it’s hard to determine the state of her illness. Fortunately I know her. Such a kind and honest Seoyoon won’t get shut in so fast. But… Why won’t she start talking yet?!’
It was time for dinner and Seoyoon went to an adjacent room. She was placed in the best VIP ward of the hospital, so she was eating in the next room. Of course, if the patient was too weak, the food would be delivered to his bed, but Seoyoon could walk on her own.
“Okay, I’ll sneak a peek on what she’s been doing in the game lately.”
Cha Eunhee called the captured recordings on the screen.
Almost all of the free time Seoyoon spent was on fighting monsters. That didn’t provide the necessary medical help, but Cha Eunhee still continued to look through the recordings every day.
The higher Seoyoon’s level, the stronger the monsters were that she fought. Fights were gradually becoming longer and more violent. At times the entire battlefield was covered with blood and Seoyoon was falling in such a rage, that she looked like a goddess of war.
This was temporarily relieving the patient’s stress, but nothing more…
After watching such recordings it took Cha Eunhee great effort not to immediately go to play her own character.
“Yeah, Seoyoon has really high level, if she can hunt in Plains of Despair.”
Dr. Cha Eunhee was a bit jealous. If she was in Seoyoon’s place, she would die from the weakest monster there.
But Seoyoon was fighting and winning most of the time. Not only because of her high level, but because of her vast experience that she gained from numerous fights.
“Now. I should quickly look through the rest before she comes back. -Cha Eunhee enabled fast-forward.”
Seoyoon was still traveling the Plains of Despair and fighting monsters. Everything was the same.
But then… Something unusual happened.
The girl was resting and looking at the sunset, when two monsters started to approach her from behind, a Hunter of Plains and some terrifying shortie.
“Oh… She will be in trouble if they attack simultaneously.”
But Cha Eunhee wasn’t very worried.
If she did die, Seoyoon would leave the capsule the same moment and Cha Eunhee have been notified. But that never happened…
What happened next was what surprised Cha Eunhee.
When the Hunter of Plains died, Seoyoon looked at the other monster that proved to be an Orc. But nothing happened! They just looked at each other for some time and then Seoyoon lowered her weapon and walked away.
However some time later she met the same Orc again and soon they started to hunt and eat together. The orc even fixed her broken armor!
Seoyoon loved to travel alone and never let anyone close. However this Orc didn’t seem to bother her at all.
“Last time she became friends with the instructor in Seraburg’s training hall. Maybe it’s easier for Seoyoon to be close with NPCs and monsters? This Orc isn’t half bad. He makes a great servant. I wonder where could I get one like that? Wait a second!!”
Suddenly Cha Eunhee almost jumped out of her chair.
“Orc! What kind of Orc has skills like that? That’s a human, a player!”
After battles he was collecting loot, applying healing herbs, and bandaging wounds, cooking… If you try hard enough, you could find another such monster in the game. For example, Cursed Goblins or special mini-bosses had an advanced artificial intelligence.
But an experienced psychologist like Cha Eunhee, was not so easy to fool. She was noticed the tiniest details: the way he was moving, fighting, where he was looking, and how he was picking up the items.
Everything was pointing to a real, live person obsessed by some idea.
“It can’t be…”
Cha Eunhee flinched, like she was struck by lightning.
She saw something similar in the Hall of Fame! Moreover, she was certain, that it was the same Orc from the video.
“There can’t be any other Orc as greedy in this game as that one!”
The Doctor’s heart began to race. Of course the fact that Seoyoon was traveling with someone was great, but Cha Eunhee was a devoted fan of Royal Road.
“There’s only 2 days left before the battle! What the hell is he doing!”
***
On the stone floor the flowers were blooming.
Cut from stone, they looked extremely real and alive. So real, that on a few of them the stone butterflies were sitting and a pleasant aroma seemed to be in the air.
As the flower field was made out of stone, it had an unusual color. White, grey and black, with pattern and without a pattern. Together they created a mysterious atmosphere on the stone terrace, In the center of which Weed was completely immersed in creating the main sculpture.
“Strange…”
The closer he was to completing the piece, the stronger it seemed that tears were about to flow out of Seoyoon’s beautiful eyes. And though the rest of the sculpture didn’t give that impression at all, her eyes were filled with unbearable sorrow…
Following his instincts and trusting the impulse of his heart, he created an extremely sad statue. It even seemed that, out of sympathy to the beauty, all the surrounding flowers were crying too.
From the realization of that fact, Weed’s mood also worsened.
“I should make her happier. I can’t change the eyes any more, but i can do something with the rest of the face!”
Very slowly and carefully Weed worked on the statue’s face and in the end he made a sad, but heartily smiling girl.
Ding!
The moment Weed completed the statue a window appeared in front of weed.
