Everyone directed their gazes toward the sky. The majestic golden words adorned the skies, and each word brought a shock to their hearts.
The players on top of High Temple Mountain screamed in ecstasy.
"I knew it!" The male player grabbed his friend's shoulder and shook her recklessly, "It didn't take even an hour!"
"Oh my gosh…" Her mouth was "O" shaped while her brown eyes gazed toward the golden letters. The previous crimson sky was now in beautiful golden color.
"Lord Wraith did it!" The players exclaimed.
"He was the first one to reach Boss Room and cleared it on the first try?!"
"Autumn Realm is finally open!"
The players realized that the Autumn Realm was in the dungeon's depths. Getting there seemed to be impossible!
"High Priest, and Priestess, can everyone enter the dungeon now?!" One of the players shouted toward lofty-looking High Priest and High Priestess.
"No, only one person is still allowed to enter." Matilda, The High Priestess, said with her melodious tone. Even after the public pressure was attacking her, she looked unfazed.
"Then how are we supposed to reach the Boss Room?!"
"Do you expect everyone to be as strong as Lord Wraith?! This is bullshit!"
Robert and Matilda exchanged glances. They nodded and firmly stood their ground.
The players' enraged shouts filled the mountain.
…
In City of Maidenhood, Spring Realm.
The streets got suddenly filled with screams of the players. Everyone turned to look at the golden sky and saw the majestic letters adorning the skies.
Inside a luxurious cafe.
Lord Kalzer lowered his cup and looked out of the window towards the skies. His eyes rippled, and his heart began pounding rapidly first time in a while.
"Lord Wraith… I guess he truly deserves that title… Sigh, we cannot lose our player base to Priesthood. Thus… I have to clear the Dungeon tomorrow."
…
In real-life.
The news channels turned to "Breaking News" as an excited-looking female News Anchor appeared with flushed cheeks.
"Everyone, we apologize for the sudden interruption, but a great achievement happened in White Online just a minute ago!
"The Dungeon in Priesthood had been cleared, and the Autumn Realm had officially opened!
"Surprisingly, it wasn't Lord Kalzer and players of Maidenhood who got the first clear. Instead, it was Priesthood and Player Wraith!
"This was the first bit of good news this week, and now Players of White Online has a whole new Realm to be explored!"
The pedestrians stopped walking in the streets and stared at the news, astonished by what they just saw. An image of Player Wraith appeared on the screen and caused several heart throbs among the pedestrians.
The News Anchor excitedly talked about him, and the name Wraith finally reached the mainstream media!
Thousands of news stations worldwide showed an identical picture of Isaac and under the picture put the title "Lord Wraith"
Soon, the news about Lord Wraith and his first clear reached every corner of the world, and the citizens cheered in joy. They were finally one stop closer to the end of the White Online!
…
Inside the Boss Room.
Isaac took out a teleportation pearl and tossed it over to God Zephyros.
"Eh?" God Zephyros caught the pearl and frowned.
"After I enter the Portal, can you teleport the Portal out of here?"
"Ah… sure." God Zephyros stood up with his hand on his chest, "Where do you want me to teleport it to?"
"To High Temple's yard is fine. My fellow players must be wanting to enter." Isaac waved his hand and stepped into the blue portal.
"He is a strange one…" God Zephyros walked toward the Portal and touched it with the pearl. Then, an image of the High Temple's yard popped up in his memory, and soon the whole portal disappeared.
The Teleportation Pearl then cracked and disappeared.
God Zephyros rubbed his burnt chest and waved his hand. Suddenly, the destroyed ceiling fixed itself, and all the damage disappeared.
…
"Whew…" Isaac inhaled a fresh breath of air. The air was quite cold, with a chilly wind breezing past him.
"A tree?" Several meters from him, there was a grayish tree with no leaves. Orange leaves littered the ground and fully covered the green grass yard.
Behind the tree were roads that led left and right. A modern-looking building stood on the other side of the road, with ten buildings on that side and the same number on Isaac's side.
It looked like a modern neighborhood with a well-maintained road, yards with leaves littering the ground, and nice two-story houses.
"This is… Autumn Realm?" It wasn't what Isaac expected. It looked relatively modern and could get mistaken for a neighborhood from Autumnland. He had seen pictures from other Continents, and this looked quite familiar.
Ding! Ding!
[Welcome to City of Fall!]
"City of Fall…" Isaac murmured.
Creak…
The door of the neighboring house opened, and a middle-aged man with curly hair appeared while carrying a black plastic bag in his left hand. He was yawning while walking toward the garbage bin.
He opened the garbage bin, threw the trash bag inside, and turned around. But then, his eyes saw a strange white-haired man looking straight at him.
"Hmm?" The middle-aged man's fatigue disappeared, and he asked, "Are you our new neighbor?"
"Neighbor?" Isaac turned around and saw a similar two-story house. He thought he randomly spawned in some random person's yard. However, then he noticed the sign on the front door. It said "Wraith".
"Well, welcome to Fall." The middle-aged man said after stopping in the doorway. He crossed his arms while leaning against the door and asked, "Are you new here?"
He asked because of Isaac's strange pale complexion and odd clothes.
"Yes, can you tell me where exactly I am?" Isaac asked the first question that appeared in his mind.
The middle-aged man thought it was quite a strange question but answered happily, "Young fella, you are in City of Fall—the only city in the whole Autumn Realm!"
"Wait, Autumn Realm has only one city?!" Isaac exclaimed with surprise.
"Yeah, there are a lot of towns, but only one City!" The middle-aged man then frowned and looked at Isaac with a deeper look. There was something strange about the white-haired man as if there was an invisible aura encircling him.
