Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
Day 61: Participate or Not (Part 1)
"Quick!! We must evacuate immediately!!"
"The refugee camp is ready, right?"
"It has. The cliffs are 500 meters southwest. The cliff is quite high and near the way up there is the sea, right? It could be a natural fortress. After all, four battalions of troops were already stationed in the four cardinal directions."
"So, it's safe, huh?"
"Yes. The problem is this village."
"Just calm. Security forces will protect him. They can't possibly let this village crumble with its beautiful memories."
"But, his opponent was an army of 99 monster races, you know!!"
"I told you, take it easy."
Such was the sound of the chatter of the villagers who were preparing to evacuate. Their reactions are different. Some are panicked and some are calm, but remain vigilant. Yuukaru, Grandpa Yurato, and Otomura were also preparing to leave and were packing their respective items.
"Hey, where's Ryugai?" yuukaru asked while packing his things.
"His stuff doesn't exist either" Grandpa Rato said. "Has he gone first, huh?"
"Come on," Otomura said.

Meanwhile, Ryugai was sitting alone on a cliff in the east. The same cliff he came to at the time of the worry between fighting against the Minotaur or not. Yes, the cliff is his favorite brooding spot. Being illuminated by the moonlight, buffeted by the night breeze, and surrounded by natural scenery made the gear wheels in his previously jammed brain now rotate more smoothly. This time, what he contemplated was participating in the war or not.
"Should .. do I participate?"
Actually, he could have been waiting in a refugee camp. Safe, warm, protected by nature, no screams of suffering, no death, and no blood. But he can't just shut up. He is the hero who defeated the Minotaur. He's the only hope for the village's protective forces. He must participate. Ryugai knows that this is just a storyline of a VRMMORPG game. Everything is just a data set. All are NPCs. But still, he couldn't let it. Although it was only data, everything he had experienced since coming to the world of Purity Online was not a fake for him. Everything's real. The hospitality and experiences he had and the valuable lessons he had learned changed him. It's not all a lie. Maybe for others it is fake, but for him these experiences are very real.
Ryugai's time to be in the world of Purity Online is two days away. Then he must finish the war before 00:00 am on the 64th day. It was difficult, but if he fought with all his might then it was not impossible. Ryugai is the only All-Rounder in the village. No other citizen or soldier can master many roles at once like him. His brain is very intelligent, his movements are very agile, his accuracy is very high, and now he has mastered a lot of magic as well as all types of weapons after entering and studying at Zanz Magic Academy. Ryugai has grown tremendously. Not only is his personality evolving, but his abilities and potential as well.
"All right, I've decided." Ryugai stood up. "I will participate so that I can protect this village. I don't care if this is all fake and just a data set. I have to protect those fake memories!!"
Right after the decision was triggered from within Ryugai's mind and his contemplation ended, a notification of communication magic appeared before him. The young man immediately touched the magic screen. A few seconds later, the face of the soldier's head was projected there.
"Can't let go of gini, huh?" Ryugai nodded while chuckling.
"Ryugai-sama!! We need your help in this war!! Please participate!!"
"Yes, yeah. I also just decided to participate. I also wonder why the timing can take off so," Ryugai said.
"But, not as a soldier."
"Hm?" Ryugai's eyebrows shot up. "Keep as what, dong?"
"Expert Strategist."
Ryugai was shocked for a moment. "HEEEEEEEEHHHH?!!!"
