IN THE game Arcadia, there were four major towns where players could rest, accept daily task, shop for items and equipments, and also freely interact with other players without the worry that they would be PKed. Players could enter these four towns once they reached a certain level. Olkdale was one of these four.

Once a player reached level 10, they could freely enter Olkdale Town. That’s why this town was often referred to as the Beginner’s Town. Because there were a lot of new people trying to play Arcadia everyday, this town often had the most traffic. Not only because of that but because some players didn’t really want to further level up, they just wanted to have that VR experience.

These players treated Olkdale Town as some kind of tourist spot. Because of the realism of the game, all the activities you did inside definitely felt like it was real. Making it feel like they were not inside a game but was doing these things in real life instead. One of these activities included eating.

There were quite a number of restaurants in Olkdale, offering different kinds of dishes - traditional Chinese cuisines such as Sichuan and Shandong, also Western dishes like French and Italian cuisines. The taste was as good as it was in real life. And because it was VR, no matter how much the players ate, they wouldn’t gain weight. That’s one of the reason why Arcadia was so popular to non-gamers.

At this moment, at the very center of the town, someone just walked out of the teleportation portal. It was an elf with pure long white hair and a pair of blue eyes with golden specks in it. His lips had a pinkish tint, his skin was white and delicate. He was wearing a simple shirt, trousers, and boots, covered by a rather elegant white robe with an intricate design of a crescent moon sewn on it.

Almost all the players near there couldn’t help but turn to his direction and just stare. There’s only one word in their mind -beautiful. Even if he’s a man, no one could deny that this player was a big beauty. He looked so majestic and out of this world that they dared not come close.

"Who’s that? Is he one of the game’s great gods?" one beginner asked to her companion.

"No, I haven’t seen his face in any of the topics on the forum," answered the other. Top players were often discussed in the game forum. If this player was one of those or even an old player, there’s no way he wouldn’t become a topic on the forum. Especially with a face like that. "I think he’s also a beginner."

Similar conversations were happening at different areas around the portal.

"Is he an elf? But I thought elves in this game could only have blond hair. How come his hair is white?"

"Maybe he customized his character so he could be more eye-catching. He’s obviously an attention seeker. There’s no way he could look like that without beautifying himself to the extreme," sneered by a male player.

Two girls near him heard what he said and immediately refuted him.

"Are you stupid? You can’t customize your hair color in this game. The hair and eye color you’ll have will depend on the race you ended up with," said one of the two girls. "Or did you actually go through a different process when you created your avatar?"

"Besides, even if he did beautify himself to the extreme, the resulting face of his avatar will still be based on his real face. Do you think that a monkey will look like a human if you just put make up on it?" said the other.

"Ignore him, I think he’s just jealous because he still look so normal even with the beautification process," said another female player near them.

The face of the male player turned red in embarrassment. He glared at the three girls and then stomped away angrily.

"Let’s take screenshots of this newbie and post it on the forum. He’ll definitely be a big hit," one of the girls excitedly said.

The other two readily agreed and enthusiastically took screenshots of the white-haired elf.

Luo Yan who was standing silently near the portal was not bothered by all these. He looked around the surroundings and saw that this town was like a prosperous medieval town. It’s four in the afternoon in real time. So the town was bright with the heat of the sun. It’s totally incomparable to the PC version where everything looked like a 3D animation.

This was the first time since he started playing this VR version six days ago that he wasn’t in a dark environment. Since the Origin Village of the moon elves was in a perpetual night time. Because of that, he was even more excited to explore this beginner’s town.

But first, he must wait for Luo Jin. They already agreed that they would meet here after Luo Yan was done with his tutoring lessons. He opened his Status Window, thinking of sending a message to Luo Jin. But before he could do that, he heard a milky voice calling his name or rather the name that his younger brother often called him.

"Yan." Luo Yan turned around but saw nothing. "Looked down," gritted by the milky voice with a familiar impatience.

And so he did. What he saw was a boy who looked like he was about seven years old. His black hair had a tinge of red on its tips. His pair of eyes were as red as a ruby. He had small pointed ears. There were rune like lines on his thin arms and legs. Annoyance was written all over his delicate face.

Despite the child-like appearance, Luo Yan was very familiar with this face. "Ah Jin?" contemporary romance

"Who else?" Luo Jin said, annoyed. "Stop staring! It’s like you’ve seen an alien or something," he added, trying to be fierce. But with that appearace and voice, he could only be called cute.

Luo Yan felt like all the meng points inside him had just been shot. He could no longer stop himself and immediately hugged Luo Jin like some doll. "Ah Jin, you’re so cute! Come, call me brother."

Luo Jin immediately felt his whole face burning. "Are you crazy? Put me down!"

"Not until you call me brother."

Now he’s really thankful that he managed to convince Luo Jin not to change his account. Or else, Luo Yan wouldn’t have the chance to see and hold this big ball of cuteness.

All the players who saw this scene felt some kind of violation seeing the beautiful elf with a silly grin on his face while turning around in a circle, holding a child in his arms. Just where did their majestic and out of this world beauty go?
