Micro-leaf Paulownia

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress.

In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge.

When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself.

"Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature.

"Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character.

"If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship.

Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

Four Split Personalities

Approximately two minutes after closing his eyes, Motan reopened them. The vibe he gave off was entirely different.


He was still himself, but he was no longer the him from just moments before.


"I take back what I said~" With his eyes sparkling with excitement and delight, Motan murmured to himself with a chuckle, "If this world didn't have a single bit of trouble, it would be dreadfully uninteresting."


Undeniably, he was not the least bit bothered about trouble finding him at that moment, even welcoming the chance to cause trouble for others~


Despite the considerable energy consumption involved in voluntarily switching personalities, Motan didn't rest and instead made his way to the game cabin and climbed inside.


[Preparing to enter the [Realm of Innocence] — Player Public Space]


[Please choose the area you wish to log in to.]


[Accessing public area Number 13. Welcome, Chaos-neutral Tan Mo.]


After experiencing a brief bout of dizziness, Motan found himself in a space that wasn't particularly spacious. And upon opening his eyes and making an initial judgment, it seemed he was in a jail cell.


The shimmering iron door in front of him was the exit.


"The game's called [Realm of Innocence], yet the only public space where players can log in is this 'prisoner' or 'criminal' environment, haha~" Motan shook his head and chuckled, "Such a glaring piece of irony…"


Having said that, he reached out and pushed the half-closed iron door open.


[You are about to enter a public area. Please choose whether to blur your appearance.]


"Definitely~" Motan whistled casually, giving a natural response to the system voice.


The game world was different. The official introduction to the player's public space was quite detailed, and one could easily learn in advance about blurring their appearance just from reading the manual, without needing to consult any online forums.


Why did I mention consulting online forums and not customer service? Simple, because [Realm of Innocence] did not have any customer service hotline!


This was the bizarre behavior in the world of gaming…


No customer service hotline, no customer service email. Players had to figure everything out on their own, and once 24 hours passed, they could not even return the game!


This was the attitude of the Innocence Company towards its players. Despite being a new company, they carried this 'your elder is always your elder' attitude, attracting many curious and admiring looks from players.


Then the players cursed and complained...


After blurring his appearance with a mosaic effect, Motan finally left the 'cell' and entered Public Area Number 13.


Fairly speaking, he wasn't walking in, but rather he was refreshed onto the site, because if the system installed a door, it would lead to a catastrophe when many players tried to enter at once. An unfortunate incident involving a dwarf player during peak hours could be inevitable…


So although the system behaves like your high and mighty elder, it can still be considerate most of the time~


Motan was now dressed in the gear he wore as Tan Mo, albeit all his skills had been locked, and his physique had returned to that of a normal person in reality. Equipment and attribute bonuses were meaningless here.


After a quick look around, he almost instantly spotted a girl wearing a robe, with orange hair and round glasses.


"Hey~" He sneaked up on Double Leaf, whispering to a sturdy-looking Orc standing beside him, "What's your opinion on moonshine?"
