When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

"Melina, I never knew you could appear in this world..."

Li Shanren, who had already sat up, said this by the lake in the manor.

"When you have the ability to reach the border but don't take action, I will appear." Melina, who was sitting next to him, said calmly.

"That's it..."

Li Shanren scratched his head awkwardly. Could it be that after Ci Fu's memory was restored, if he had not gone to the border in time, Melina would have appeared here?

"But why didn't you show up when similar things happened before?" Li Shanren asked again.

"Because this time is different from before. You are not in trouble, you are not facing a choice, you don't have to take care of your companions... You have the time and the ability, but you didn't go. Faded, what are you afraid of? What is holding you back?"

Melina turned her head and looked at Li Shanren with her golden eyes.

"Endless battles? A journey with an uncertain future? Or... do you miss this world?"

Li Shanren was silent for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Maybe I'm tired and want to rest for a while."

He would not tell Melina that it was the foreseeable but perhaps unchangeable fate that stopped him.

Because this girl who has been silently accompanying him already carries a heavy fate. Following the script written by fate, the girl's final fate is not a good one, at least for Li Shanren.

To Li Shanren's surprise, after hearing this, Melina did not get angry or complain, but just nodded quietly.

"If you feel tired, take a rest. But I hope you can remember our agreement. I will always wait for you, Lisern..."

After saying that, Melina's body turned into countless blue soul lights and dissipated.

When he heard the last part, Li Shanren was stunned.

This seemed to be... the first time Melina had called him by his alias other than "The Fader".

"Well... there is one more thing. Since you don't want to go to the border for the time being, can you allow me to take a look at the world here during this time? I might go out for a walk alone."

Melina's cold voice rang in his heart.

Faced with this request, Li Shanren had no reason to refuse, "Of course, it's your freedom, but... please don't scare the people here."

"Thank you, I'll keep an eye on it."

......

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Li Shanren had been resting in his manor for a month.

It is certainly impossible that he never went to the border during this period. In fact, not only did he go there, but he went there very frequently. Together with the more than one month he had been on the road before, he went to the border a total of 47 times in more than two months.

However, he was still on the road of exploration, did not promote the development of any events, and still did not hand over the pyroxene key to Tops.

Since the Lienia area has been basically explored, during this period of time, the area he mainly explored was the Gelide area east of the border. This area was under the jurisdiction of the demigod "Star Crusher General" Latan.

Li Shanren had been active in this area many times before, but his strength was too weak at that time to formally explore this area.

But now there is no problem in exploring.

Ever since the Fragment War, when the Valkyrie Marennia fought a fierce battle with Latan, the Valkyrie's scarlet corrupt flower bloomed in the Gaileyd region, completely polluting the area. Since then, the Gaileyd region has become a terrifying area with a dark red sky and filled with corrupt creatures.

The corrupt creatures roaming in this area are far more powerful than those in the Nimgefu and Lienia areas, and are very crazy. There are two or three meter tall corrupt giant dogs and corrupt crows everywhere. Once they target a target, they will chase you relentlessly for a long time.

Li Shanren was able to roam around the area freely thanks to Torrett's speed.

During this period of time, he basically explored the Gaileed area. At the same time, the Blood Crows of the Blood Dynasty did not forget to harvest regularly.

By the way, not long ago, the Full Moon Queen finally allowed him to use the magic of "rebirth", so he also adjusted his physical attributes back.

After this incident, Li Shanren roughly estimated that the reborn magic might need to spend about two months in the Messiah Continent before it could find the Full Moon Queen to cast a spell.

As he grew steadily, his level improved dramatically. His attributes are as follows:

【Name】: Li Shanren

[Race]: Ordinary human

【Level】：89→160

【Life】: 31→40

[Endurance]: 18→20

[Focus]: 25 → 40

[Strength]: 18 → 35 (get the amulet "Legend of the Broken Star" to increase strength by 5)

[Dexterity]: 21 → 30

[Intelligence]: 45→70

【Faith】：17→30

[Perception]: 12 → 15

[Focus Value]: 252 (including the amulet "Blue Amber Pendant" + 7% maximum concentration value bonus)

[Rune required for distance to next level]:

[Note]: The blessing of Greg Dalu increases all attributes by +5, the brand of Radagon increases life, endurance, strength and dexterity by +3 each, the teleportation of two fingers increases faith by +5, and the legend of Shattered Star increases strength by +5.

......

"Starshatter's Teleport" is a new amulet that Li Shanren obtains while exploring the Gelid region.

In this upgrade, after completing the planned attribute improvement plan, Li Shanren invested some attribute points in strength and agility.

After all, during the period when his physical attributes were changed, his melee skills had been more or less honed. It would have been a waste if he had maintained his original low attributes, so a proper improvement would allow him to display a certain level of melee strength.

In addition, the purpose of improving faith is to use more spells of the faith faction, and the reason for improving perception is that he finds that the attribute of "perception" is also very important in close combat. It can not only enhance his sensory acuity, but also allow him to perceive enemy attacks in blind spots of vision, flaws revealed by enemies during battle, and so on.

Therefore, next, Li Shanren plans to take "faith" as the main direction of improvement, supplemented by "perception" as the secondary direction.

The intelligence attribute is sufficient for now.

In the process of improving the attributes, Li Shanren vaguely realized that these attributes seemed independent, but in fact they were complementary to each other. If he simply raised a single attribute, he might not be able to fully exert the ability of that attribute.

Only by developing them as balanced as possible can we maximize the capabilities of each attribute.

......

"Melissa said that she would see a beautiful ghost sister by the lake recently."

Alice sat next to Li Shanren and spoke in a soft voice.

"Sister Ghost...?"

Li Shanren was slightly speechless. She was probably talking about Melina who had secretly come out for a walk.

I don’t know if Melina is possessed by him now, and what she would think if she heard these words.

"That ghost sister seems to be very shy and will disappear once she is seen." Alice continued to share.

"Aren't you afraid of her?" Li Shanren stroked the little girl's silver-gray hair.

"Don't be afraid. The ghost sister is very kind. I heard Hugo say before that he almost fell into the lake once, and it was the ghost sister who appeared and pulled him up. But unfortunately, when he turned around to thank her, the ghost sister had disappeared."

Alice said softly.

This actually happened. I must thank Melina when I see her next time.

However, that brat Hugo actually had the audacity to play by the lake unsupervised. I have to talk to Amicia about it later.

"You're right, that ghost sister is a good person, there's no need to be afraid of her." Li Shanren smiled.

After that, he seemed to remember something and continued, "Alice, I think we can leave in two days."

"Leaving? Where to?" Alice looked up at Li Shanren, her blue eyes full of confusion.

"Have you forgotten? Let's go to the northern capital and visit your home. If everything goes well, we will be back soon. Of course, if you want to stay there, that's okay. I will visit you often." Li Shanren said with a smile.

"No matter what happens, I will follow you back."

Alice pouted, seeming unhappy with the second half of Li Shanren's words.

"As long as you are happy, I will support you no matter what choice you make." Li Shanren replied.
