Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

Four Seasons Sunny Rain woke up to a series of crisp bird songs.

What entered his sight was a wooden ceiling, which reminded him of the small wooden estate he had bought with contribution points two months ago outside the second ring of Mountain Peak City.

This was a small room, only about ten square meters. The decorations were simple, with wooden furniture and a basic candle lamp, and Four Seasons Sunny Rain himself was lying on a bed that emitted a faint wooden fragrance.

Warm sunlight streamed through the crystal window, warming his body, easing his drowsy mind and slightly relieving the soreness he felt.

"You’re awake?"

A gentle voice came from beside him, warm and soft, like spring water flowing through the forest.

This lively voice instantly awakened Four Seasons Sunny Rain’s sluggish memories, scenes from before he fainted resurfaced in his mind...

That’s right!

He and Ye Ye were gathering Sevenspice Grass when they suddenly encountered a Demon Beast attack! Then he lost connection...

He waited for a long time before finally successfully returning.

Wait... what happened afterward... what happened?

Four Seasons Sunny Rain had a headache.

He didn’t turn off pain sensation, so the pain was quite clear at the moment, but perhaps it was because of the pain that he slowly regained his memories before he fainted and lost connection.

His last game memory... paused at the moment when everyone was submerged by venom, and then he remembered nothing, forcibly logged out.

"Are you okay?"

The gentle voice came again, this time with a hint of concern.

Four Seasons Sunny Rain struggled to turn his head and saw a cute little face.

It was a girl who appeared to be fifteen or sixteen years old, with large, bright black eyes that were pure and reminded people of a newborn baby.

She was resting her cheeks in her hands, tilting her head with slightly furrowed, delicate brows as she looked at Four Seasons Sunny Rain.

A pair of fluffy gray ears twitched on her little head.

Half-Beast?

Four Seasons Sunny Rain was a bit dazed.

In Segis World, Half-Beasts are not really related to Beastmen and Half-Beasts; they resemble humans more than those ugly brutes, only with traits of mammals like furry ears and tails.

Because male Half-Beasts are strong and female Half-Beasts are cute in appearance, their situation is quite similar to the Elves, considered quality slaves by many slavers.

However, they fared better than the Elves before players descended, mostly located in East Seges, having their gathering points and tribes, and cooperating with mercenary guilds, generally safe.

So, he was saved by Half-Beasts?

Four Seasons Sunny Rain had some guesses.

He checked his right side teammate, finding their avatars were all dark, indicating they hadn’t come online yet.

But... the coordinates showed they were at an exaggerated distance, making Four Seasons Sunny Rain doubt the coordinate data...

Of course, upon careful examination, he realized he hadn’t read it wrong, and when he checked the mini-map, he found it unfamiliar.

Moreover, outside of a hundred meters around him, everything was war fog.

This indicated he was moved here while offline and asleep without recording the map.

"Where is this place?"

Four Seasons Sunny Rain looked at the Half-Beast girl, then outside at the bright sunlight and lush forest, appearing confused.

"This is Dream Island, a peaceful paradise without strife," the girl softly said, with a bit of pride.

"Dream Island?"

Four Seasons Sunny Rain was stunned.

He had never heard of this place, even after thoroughly studying Segis Continent’s geography before starting his adventure.

"Yes, Dream Island, a dreamlike place where all races live in harmony, transcending worldly confines," the girl nodded.

After speaking, she couldn’t resist taking a quick glance at Four Seasons Sunny Rain, then added:

"It was Imhettel who brought you here. When you arrived, you were poisoned, it was dangerous! Imhettel used his power to save you!"

Imhettel...

Four Seasons Sunny Rain’s heart skipped.

In Segis World, only mythicals are addressed as "His Majesty."

Was he saved by a mythical being?

Wait, could it be that Titan Giant?

Four Seasons Sunny Rain had some guesses in his heart.

Struggling to sit up, he checked his status, finding only weakness and some temporary debuff buffs, but nothing else serious.

"What about my teammates?" Four Seasons Sunny Rain asked again.

Though he knew through the coordinates that he was separated from his teammates, he still wanted to know what eventually happened.

"Teammates?"

The girl was momentarily stunned.

She furrowed her delicate brow, a somewhat dazed expression:

"Imhettel only brought back you?"

Only brought back me?

Four Seasons Sunny Rain was bewildered.

Wait...

Could it be...?

When he looked back and checked the teammates’ avatars, he found that they were not only offline but... also waiting for revival.

Four Seasons Sunny Rain:...

So... the team except for him was wiped out by that Demon Beast, and then he was saved?

He quickly realized what had happened.
