Dimensional Manifestation

Thick black and yellow pungent smoke billows out from the crater, and the dangerous color and smell warns all creatures that it is forbidden to approach here.

Even the fire elementals born from flames and lava didn't seem to like the smoke, and none of them were willing to approach the crater.

However, in such a place where everything is extinct, at this moment, a discordant sound was vaguely sounded, destroying the majesty of the volcano.

"Gudong~gudong~puha——!"

Putting down the medicine bottle in his hand, feeling the coolness coming from inside his body, Lin Tianya felt a sense of relief all over his body.

Although this recovery potion is at room temperature, in the current extremely hot environment, room temperature is already a very cherished concept.

Vigorously smashing the empty potion bottle into the lava below, Lin Tianya stared at the blood bar slowly sliding down in front of him, and was dazed again.

The smoke from the crater is highly toxic, and this game is no exception. The existing antidote is not enough to make the player completely immune to this toxin, so Lin Tianya must drink a bottle of recovery potion every once in a while. For so many days, he couldn't remember how many bottles he had drunk.

'Hey long~Hey long~'

Suddenly, a faint shout came from afar, and Lin Tianya listened carefully for a while before he finally heard the content clearly.

Then……

"Pfft! Gastrointestinal? How could someone have such a strange name. He doesn't have an older brother named Esophagus, haha~!"

Although it is very impolite to make fun of other people's names, Lin Tianya is too boring these days, and now as long as there is a slight disturbance, he can enjoy himself for a long time.

"But then again, is there anyone else here?"

Today is already the 7th day of Lin Tianya's "cultivation" retreat in the crater. In the past 7 days, he has often strolled around the neighborhood, but he has never seen other players.

Let alone a player, Mao has never seen one.

"Forget it, never mind, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

The tired Lin Tianya was too lazy to think about those meaningless things. He grabbed a stone by his side and threw it down towards the lava below.

Don't get me wrong, his behavior doesn't have any real meaning, it's purely idle.

As time went by, the shouting sound got closer and closer. Inexplicably, Lin Tianya felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, as if she had heard it a long time ago.

So how long ago was it?

one day?

a week?

Still a year?

Lin Tianya's mental state is not very good now, and his concept of time is a bit confused. If he hadn't set the countdown on the system panel in advance, he wouldn't know how long he has been here.

"President! You are here! I finally found you!"

Just when Lin Tianya was thinking about when he had heard this voice, a shout full of surprise suddenly sounded behind him, which made him tremble all over with fright, and he almost fell headfirst.

Shocked and rubbed back 1 meter, Lin Tianya turned his head and looked behind him.

"You are……"

His eyes were a little blurred, and he stared blankly at the player who suddenly appeared, no matter how he looked at him, he seemed familiar.

"President, are you, are you alright?"

After the first pleasant surprise, Asuna finally had the heart to observe the appearance of her president.

To be honest, if she hadn't been very familiar with her own president, the kind that she could recognize when the other party turned into ashes, she might not be able to recognize that the black charcoal head in front of her was her own hanging man. President.

By the way, this person is really the president, right?

"Me? I'm fine, probably. And I'm not the president, my name is Lin Tianya."

Lin Tianya's voice had no ups and downs, it sounded like the sound of a machine.

"... President, what's wrong with you, President! Don't scare me!"

Finish the ball! No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look very good!

Asuna took three steps in parallel, quickly came to Lin Tianya's body, knelt down and looked at him carefully, the worry in her eyes was overflowing.

"President, do you still know me? I'm Asuna!"

Asuna reached out and tried to wipe off the black ash on Lin Tianya's face. However, after wiping off one layer, she was surprised to find that there was another layer underneath! ?

She said why she felt that the other party was getting fatter.

"Asuna? Oh! It's Asuna! Sorry, I haven't had enough sleep recently, so my mind is a little messed up."

Lin Tianya said in a daze.

"President, why did you come here and sit here?"

Asuna asked puzzledly.

At first, she thought that the other party came here to brush the lava core, but looking at the current situation, it seems that the other party has been sitting here for a long time without moving?

"Me, I'm here to hone my willpower."

Following the communication with Asuna, Lin Tianya's short-circuited brain was re-connected to electricity and is gradually recovering.

"Train your willpower?"

Asuna suspected that she had heard wrong.

She has heard of players who went to the wild to farm monsters and level up, some who brushed equipment and props to brush Cole, some who simply enjoyed the scenery, and even junglers!

In short, it was the first time she had heard of the one who came out to hone her willpower. Should it be said that he is the president of his own family? His brain circuit is always so strange and unique.

"Yes. I have to say, this game is really good. If it were in reality, I wouldn't dare to play it like this."

Lin Tianya's tone was full of emotion and admiration for this game.

If it is in reality, even if he is a demihuman, he would not dare to die like this. Otherwise, if he was frozen into an ice cube on the extremely cold ice field, or accidentally fell into the lava of the crater, he was not sure that he would be able to break through the ice or climb out of the hot lava.

But in games it's different.

First of all, this game does not exist to completely freeze the control state. No matter how low the temperature was, he would only be frostbitten and lose blood, and his movements would slow down, instead of completely losing consciousness.

Secondly, with his current level and attributes, even if he accidentally fell into the lava, he would not be burned to ashes immediately. With the buffer time, he can use the teleportation crystal to forcibly break away from the lava and teleport back to the town.

To sum up, in "SAO", he can die as much as he wants without worrying about accidentally killing himself.

"...Forget it, President, the difficulty of the labyrinth is becoming more and more difficult now, and everyone feels a little strenuous. Next, you will face a 50th-floor boss whose strength is unknown. You can no longer just mess around alone. Run away. Come back and lead everyone, we need you."

Originally, Asuna was full of complaints and complaints, but after seeing Lin Tianya's miserable appearance, she couldn't say a word.

Although she couldn't understand what role the so-called willpower could play in this virtual world purely composed of data. But since her president chose to do this, she believed there must be a reason for it.
