Chapter 9: Woman, Go Away! Don't Bother Me While I'm Playing Candy Crush
In the next story, a young strategist from an ancient war period. Her mission and duty is to protect her family from destruction.
Once, she found a magical bronze mirror that transported her to an incredible land. There, there was no war and everyone lived free and happy. Dazzled by the prosperity, she unknowingly ran into him: a not-so-good enthusiast.
Their first meeting was unpleasant, and they even got into a fight.
She lost, and as the rules of her world dictate, he became her husband. When she was hungry, the enthusiast invited her to eat.
It was a rice with pork chops, which surprised her: "So much meat, it must cost a lot?" In her world, common people couldn't afford meat. There she also tried beer for the first time.
"What is this? It's delicious!" she said cheerfully, grabbing the bottle.
This was probably the most relaxing time for her. After a hangover, she woke up and picked up the bronze mirror that had brought her to this world. She brought the enthusiast with her.
But this didn't bring many changes. In her world, everything was still the same. The House of Arden was still on the verge of collapse, with dangerous enemies lurking. The only change, perhaps, was her seemingly insignificant "husband." He became the captain of her personal guard, but that was it. Even with his arrival, the fall of the House of Arden was inevitable.
Two months later, she was sitting on the city wall, bloodied from the incessant fighting, with the ground stained red. Outside the city, corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the cries of massacre shook the air. Those were the enemies about to break through. Watching the enemy approach, she knew that, in the end, she had failed in her attempt to keep the House of Arden alive in this chaotic world.
"It seems that the three hundred years of glory of the House of Arden are about to be shattered," the enthusiast continued, urging her to flee, but she simply shook her head.
"Mark, I'm different from you. From the day my father put on the armor for me, I swore... to protect the honor of the House of Arden with my life."
Mark offered a lot of examples and reasoning, trying to convince her: the world is a world of division, and what remains must unite, and it is not only the House of Arden that will be destroyed.
"Mark, you don't understand. This contains the dreams and hard work of generations of our House of Arden. Take this bronze mirror and go."
She confessed everything. Then he demanded that she accompany him. But she had her own beliefs, so how could she agree? If she was willing to abandon them, why would she have returned? Closing her eyes, she felt her voice fade, replaced only by the imminent sound of the enemy assaulting the city.
"Mark, are you leaving? I really... am going... I really, really want to go with you."
"I want to drink beer with you again... That beer is delicious...! Very good!".
Unable to control it, tears streamed from her eyes. Memories of the past resurfaced, and the portrait of a man with a glass of wine appeared in the center of the screen.
"Husband, this wine is delicious! How about two more? Look, I've finished it all. Why don't you have a couple too? Come on, cheers!"
And in that trance, she seemed to faintly hear his voice:
"Kill me!!! I am Anna's personal guard captain. Anyone who stands in my way will be killed mercilessly!"
Upon seeing the game return to the main interface, Ryan couldn't help but sniffle and closed his sore eyes for a moment. It took him a while to open them.
"What the heck!"
"This game is crazy! It's an adult game, why are the illustrations so good, the voice actors so good, and the match-3 combat system so well done? It's great!"
"I just want to play an adult game, why do they make it so sentimental!" Ryan complained, but his hands didn't hesitate.
Of course, he wasn't taking out toilet paper, but leaving the main game interface and decisively heading to the store to leave a positive review. Although it wasn't yet the refund period, clicking directly on the review didn't entail a refund. But that didn't matter, and I won't go into more detail later. Just for that, Ryan felt it was worth it. He even thought the developer was a fool to charge $2 for it!
It wasn't just Ryan. Many players, after discovering this game through an unknown foreign forum, clicked out of curiosity. And upon leaving, they were all filled with deep emotion.
Some played for the game's story. The story of elves and demons made them reflect on the good and evil of human nature. Humanity, indulging in self-degradation, received help from an alien elf, only to be repaid with resentment. The story of the enthusiast and the strategist deeply moved them. He seemed like an abandoned enthusiast, but when he was finally able to leave, he showed a courage and dedication unimaginable to common people.
The story of the dragon maiden and the knight was a long and wonderful journey. Our achievements are incomparable, who can measure up? Thanks to us, evil beasts don't dare to harm the world; thanks to us, greedy rulers don't dare to oppress the people.
The story of Lyra and Orion made many players cry. Although you are Lyra's reincarnation, Orion is still Orion. Two hundred years of waiting, two hundred years of reincarnation, the story of Lyra and Orion should have ended two hundred years ago.
Without a doubt, it is a game that adult players love. Why do they always feel so sad and heavy after playing it?
These players finally understood the meaning of the previous posts. At this moment, it could be said that they feel the same way. Of course there are still many anxious players who are directly rejected because they are not good at match-3 games.
"Lyra, please stop sucking my blood and open the door for me. I'm Orion, please let me see you!"
These players repeatedly studied the game's match-3 combat system and constantly spent points and money to upgrade and buy props. In the end, these players evolved. They didn't pay attention to the game's adult content, but got hooked on the match-3 game. It's simple, clear, and at the same time interesting. As an adult game, it's incredible.
It's just that the girl next to me is very annoying. She prevents me from playing match-3!
"Woman, get out of here! Move quickly! Don't bother me while I'm playing Candy Crush!"
"This time, with my skills, I will undoubtedly update my previous score!"
