Alex opened his eyes and found himself in a strange place with a red moon hanging in the sky.
He could see black fog surrounding the area as he stood above a grassland.
The fog gave him a feeling of dread; he was sure he would die if he touched it.
This made him question his situation.
'Wait, is this a new VR game?
Can they now even create things that give a feeling of dread?'
In the other VR games he had played so far, even though they were very realistic, he had never felt .
They could replicate the sense of touch, sight, and smell, but not things that triggered people's instincts.
The grass was green but had red veins.
As he looked around, his eyes widened in surprise.
He saw a woman lying in the grass.
He couldn't see her face, but he was sure she was beautiful.
Her white robe seemed to come straight out of a cultivation novel, but parts of it were shredded, showing the woman's smooth skin.
Based on the shreds, Alex was sure if he flipped her around, he could see her most sensitive parts.
"Is this an H-Game?" he mumbled.
He started walking closer, and the woman's appearance became clearer to him.
Her skin was pale white, without any blemish, and her figure was a perfect hourglass, exuding an allure he couldn't deny.
"Yes, I am sure this is a VR world.
No way a situation happens in real life."
Feeling the dread from the fog, Alex first considered the possibility that he had somehow been thrown into a dungeon, but there was just no way a dungeon had no monsters and only an unconscious beautiful woman in it.
He then started feeling relaxed, his steps becoming lighter.
But before he could get closer, the woman's body began to move.
Mingyue's eyes opened.
She felt her head hurting, and as the memory of what had happened resurfaced, she began to look around to ascertain where she was.
Using her palm to push her upper body up, she looked over her shoulder, sensing a presence behind her.
As a cultivator, her mind's clarity quickly returned.
She knew her clothes were not decent, and she wanted to make sure what the presence behind her was.
What she saw made her frown.
A man stood there, stupefied.
The woman was very beautiful, not just in her looks.
There was an otherworldly aura emanating from her that accentuated her beauty even more.
Thinking this was just a VR world, Alex started moving closer, wanting to enjoy the game.
Her amber eyes, with a tinge of red in them, looked very beautiful in his eyes.
He had never felt this attracted to a woman before, and part of his heart regretted that she wasn't real.
'Is this what they call love at first sight?' Alex thought.
Feeling the lust in Alex's black eyes, Mingyue quickly shouted, "Stop where you are!
What do you want to do with me?"
Her qi was still recovering, and she could also feel something had changed in her body, making her unsure if she could fight back or not if the man attacked her.
Hearing her shout, which sounded like an angelic voice in Alex's ears, made him frown.
"Is this that kind of H-Game?" he mumbled.
He had played this type of game before to satisfy his desire.
But he always looked for vanilla ones; the idea of rape or forcing himself on someone just repulsed him.
It wasn't that he couldn't hire a real woman.
It was just that the romantic stories from his mom influenced him a lot.
As he was still considering his next action, suddenly, a red smoke appeared between them.
It started solidifying into a round, chubby creature with soft pink fur.
It had two small legs with sharp claws at the end, and instead of arms, it had dragon wings.
The creature had two pairs of ruby-red eyes and a big mouth.
Based on its appearance, Alex speculated that if the creature opened its mouth, it would be half the size of its body.
Two long ears, resembling bunny ears, protruded from the top of its body.
The creature then looked at Alex and then back at Mingyue, its lips turning into a grin.
"I am Vesa, the personality of the Vampire System," a childish, cute voice came from it.
Vesa continued, "Welcome, new king and queen, to Edonia.
Well, what is left of it?
I know both of you feel confused, especially King Alex, since you were unconscious when the system was activated.
I can assure you this is not a game."
It then turned its ruby eyes to Mingyue, "Queen Mingyue, you are here and not here at the same time.
You should understand what this means."
Mingyue was still confused about her situation, but she quickly grasped the concept from what Vesa had said.
She realized she existed only as a soul here.
As a cultivator, this concept wasn't strange to her.
With a thought, her robe returned to its pristine condition.
She then stood up and looked at Alex and Vesa warily.
Realizing she was just a soul made her feel worried, as she had never cultivated her soul before, focusing instead on her qi and secret techniques.
Seeing Mingyue stand up, Alex noticed that her height only reached his shoulder.
He was still mesmerized by her beauty, but Vesa's words brought him back to reality.
He remembered that every country in the world had agreed that all VR games or apps must make it clear they are VR games.
This was to avoid confusion and prevent delusions from forming in players' minds.
In the early days of VR, some games failed to do this, leading players to believe the VR world was the real one and their actual world was just a matrix.
This led to many problems, from suicides to crimes, as they didn't take the law seriously.
He looked at Vesa sharply.
"What do you mean this is not a game?
