Chapter 497: Chapter 467: Hardcore Evangelism

“Hmm? Have I heard this somewhere before?”

Moonlight Jasmine felt a stir in her heart.

Her memory was still quite good, and with a little thought, she remembered—

“It’s the new opening animation!”

“The Half-Elf in the opening animation, is that Oros?”

A hint of interest rose in Moonlight Jasmine’s heart.

When she played games, she didn’t like going through the storyline, always skipping it with the fast forward key.

The only reason she didn’t skip the story in “Elf Kingdom” was that it wasn’t possible to, and she had gone through some quests just to get familiar with the game when she first started. After that, she never took any NPC missions again.

Yet, people always like to hear stories.

Especially when their curiosity is piqued.

The hint from the opening animation, along with Caesar’s speculations about the trial quest, eventually made Moonlight Jasmine curious about the story she had just missed because she was distracted.

Curiosity is the beginning of falling into it.

This applies to anything.

Under Caesar’s expectant yet anxious gaze, Moonlight Jasmine pored over the deeper records.

The records were illustrated, accompanied by various memory videos and just the right background music.

The entire storyline unfolded gradually, revealing the secrets behind the Oros Half-plane through the descriptions and memories of several NPCs…

It was a story of a hero who sacrificed everything for faith.

It was the tale of a wretch willing to fall into darkness to revive the Mother Goddess.

For the belief and perseverance in her heart, the Demigod Oros burned everything…

The entire plot centered around the growth of the Half-Elf Oros, unraveling the secrets of the millennium-long divine war, the creation of the Oros Half-plane, the purpose of the Creation God Sect, the decline of the plane, and the persistence and fall of the Demigod Oros…

The hero ultimately fell amidst curses and anger, while the Mother Goddess returned amidst jubilant cheers.

The person who designed the story was clearly very talented.

The entire record, through different perspectives and the words of various people, advanced layer by layer, gradually uncovering the secrets of the Oros Half-plane.

Simultaneously, with perfectly fitting background music and emotional storytelling, it beautifully depicted the sense of historical depth, the elves’ sense of mission, and the tragic sense of the Demigod Oros.

As people learned about this storyline, an ancient, heavy, tragic, and epic historical picture inadvertently appeared before their eyes…

Initially, Moonlight Jasmine was rather indifferent, but as she continued to read, she gradually became serious.

She had never properly paid attention to the various game storylines.

Because in her view, the core of this kind of MMO-RPG adventure online game was not the storyline.

Perhaps those story-driven text games had more exciting plot narratives, but that was because they were designed to sell the storyline, so they couldn’t be compared.

In Moonlight Jasmine’s eyes, the storylines in general online games were merely padding.

Poor stories, unexaminable logic, crude backgrounds, forced sentimentality, and sometimes even narrations that made people cringe were truly a waste of time.

Moreover, as it was all for the task rewards, there weren’t many people who really immersed themselves in the story.

In Moonlight Jasmine’s opinion, rather than nodding off while doing tasks, it was more enjoyable to level up quickly and fight with others.

At first, although she was a little curious, Moonlight Jasmine was ready to critique the storyline after reading it.

However, after truly delving into the story behind the Priest’s trial, Moonlight Jasmine fell silent.

*It was a heartfelt story, and also a sad one.*

*For some reason, Moonlight Jasmine saw the kind of historical depth and authenticity, epic and tragic feelings from the trial storyline that she never found in other game storylines.*

*That feeling… It was as if this story really happened.*

*Inadvertently, as the story unfolded, an image of a flesh-and-blood hero, bearing everything, giving everything, yet not forgetting her original belief even in downfall, was truly sketched out in Moonlight Jasmine’s mind.*

Especially when the laughter of the residents of Oros City could be heard, the stark contrast between that happiness and the heavy tragedy of the story made Moonlight Jasmine feel inexplicably oppressive and sad.

Past Moonlight Jasmine indeed didn’t pay attention to the stories.

However, the high sense of immersion in “Elf Kingdom” had long determined that even if you never valued the stories here, you would interact with the NPCs more or less.

And with those interactions, over time, some sort of subtle influence would always occur.

The most crucial among them was the empathy and immersion in the elven civilization of the “Elf Kingdom.”

And this empathy and immersion undoubtedly further reinforced the player’s experience while reading Oros’s story, making players more easily moved.

Moonlight Jasmine was indeed like this.

When she noticed her own emotions, she couldn’t help but pause slightly.

She… was actually moved by a story?

Moonlight Jasmine found it somewhat amusing.

She continued to peruse the storyline, wanting to see if there was more after Oros disappeared, like whether she was guided back to the Divine Country by the Goddess or something.

However, she found that the story ended here…

“That’s it?”

She paused slightly.

“Did she really die? Such a hero?”

She murmured, letting out a deep sigh she did not even realize…

“Wasn’t it a great story? Oros was really a pity! The Priest class is more meaningful and responsible than I imagined.”
