Chapter 3: Large Map

Just as Leon was about to rest, a strange light suddenly appeared on the other wall. Leon turned his head and saw a projection of a man about his age on the wall.

"Leon, come over quickly, there's a big mission."

Leon was stunned for a moment, then excitedly shouted, "Give me the coordinates, I'll be there right away."

"What coordinates? Just get to the school quickly. This is a big mission; the principal has called all the students over." The projection shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Leon was stunned again but immediately rushed toward the wall recording his data and slammed into it.

Strangely enough, the wall looked quite solid, but as soon as Leon ran into it, he passed through it like a water curtain, leaving the room and stepping onto the street.

This street was quite peculiar. There were no buildings; all along the street were identical wooden doors with no decorations, continuously moving. No one knew which door corresponded to which room.

At the end of the street was a giant disk about the size of a football field, and above the disk was a huge glowing orb.

Leon moved quickly, and in an instant, he arrived at the disk. Just as he stepped onto it, a beam of white light transformed into a human figure in front of him.

"Where are you headed?"

As Leon took out a card, he said, "I am a student of Sun City High School, class 42973, player ID DS-54370681-157. I just received a message that our principal has issued a summons. I need to return to the school as soon as possible."

The human figure scanned the card in Leon's hand with a beam of light from its eyes, then nodded and said, "Identity confirmed, and the principal of Sun City High School has indeed issued a summons. The emergency passage for you has been opened in area seven. You can go straight there."

With that, the human figure stepped aside to clear a path.

Leon thanked the figure and quickly headed in the direction it indicated. In his eyes, a certain spot on the disk was flashing with white light.

As soon as Leon stepped into that spot, he felt as though he was being sucked into another space. In an instant, he found himself transported to another location—a desolate wilderness bathed in blue light.

Looking up at the blue light curtain in the sky, Leon grew increasingly confused. This wasn't his first time entering the game world, but it was his first time encountering such a waiting light curtain.

He had heard that such light curtains only appeared when a new map was opening in the game world. So, was this desolate wilderness a new map that had appeared within the Sun City area?

As Leon pondered, more and more young people began to gather from all directions. These youths appeared to be in their twenties, but the traces of time were evident in their eyes.

Most of the youths standing beneath the light curtain had pale skin with a bluish tinge, and some even had dark circles under their eyes.

The majority of the youths were dressed in black robes, and some held bone or wooden staffs.

Leon glanced around and recognized most of them. The youths under this light curtain were all students from the Sun City High School who had an affinity for the shadow attribute.

While Leon was observing, the projection that had called him earlier reappeared. However, this time it was not a projection, but a young man who appeared to be a bit more mature than Leon.
