[elden ring]: Look! The peerless beauty under Teacher Sellen's glintstone crown!
[elden ring]: Teacher Sellen, I love you so much. For you, I'll become a master-defying rebellious disciple... Hehehe!
[dark souls iii]: Don't start establishing a code of laws here!
[elden ring]: If I were Hammurabi, I'd establish my code right here!
[dark souls i]:...[dark souls i]: Honestly, that's enough. As soon as I log in, I see you two acting crazy. I bet I'm going to have bad luck today.
[dark souls iii]: What are you talking about? How am I acting crazy? I'm clearly very normal today, okay!
[dark souls i]: It's because you're normal today that you seem abnormal, understand?
[dark souls iii]:...[dark souls iii]: Hehehe... Soul Transmutation is so interesting... Fire Keeper, I love you so much... I'm going to transmute your soul into a weapon so I can hold you in the palm of my hand at all times. Fire Keeper... my Fire Keeper... [dark souls iii]: Now I've started acting crazy too, satisfied?
[dark souls i]: Yes, very good. Keep it up, that's the real you.
[dark souls iii]:...Fuck.
In the Dark Souls III World, before Ludleth's throne.
Looking at the Ashen One who had suddenly spaced out, Ludleth was somewhat confused: "What is it? Did you not understand the key points of transmutation I just mentioned?"
"It's not that..." Ashen Xia Yu snapped back to reality and shook his head. "I understood what I heard, it just feels like having theory without practice. No matter how much I listen, it's useless."
"How about this, I'll go find some weak souls, and you can transmute them for me to see. By the way, weak souls can be transmuted too, right?"
Hearing this question, Ludleth nodded silently. "The stronger the soul, the stronger the weapon transmuted. While weak souls can also be transmuted, it's usually not worth the effort. However, they'll serve fine as teaching materials."
"That's perfect then. I'll go get a few Lothric Knight souls. Wait for me."
With that, Xia Yu vaulted down from the second floor and left the Firelink Shrine via the bonfire.
Watching Xia Yu depart, Ludleth's long-numb heart felt a slight ripple once more.
"The feeling of being a teacher... how many years has it been?"
"What? You think highly of that Ashen One?"
Hawkwood, who had been sitting dejectedly on the stairs, had approached the throne room at some point and asked Ludleth listlessly.
He had intended to remain despondent forever, but he was curious about that unique Ashen One. After thinking it over, he decided to ask Ludleth first.
He wasn't close to the others. The Fire Keeper would certainly side with her Ashen One, so only this dwarf Lord of Cinder, who sat on his throne all day, would give an objective evaluation.
Hearing Hawkwood's question, Ludleth looked up as if reminiscing and spoke.
"I don't know, but he gives me a feeling that is different from this entire world. Although I am a staunch supporter of linking the fire, I also know that this world has long since lost hope."
"I never had the chance to choose in my life. Even becoming a Lord of Cinder was a choice I was pushed into making. Therefore, I envy him. Teaching him is merely to give him more choices when he faces problems in the future."
After listening to Ludleth's rambling words, Hawkwood lowered his head and murmured, "Choices? Can a deserter like me have his own choices?"
Soon, the Shrine fell silent again, as always... [dark souls i]: Did that Ashen One guy leave?
[elden ring]: Probably. After all, he's studying too. Fuck! Let's get competitive, everyone get competitive!
[elden ring]: Going to study, do not disturb!
[dark souls i]:...[Genshin Impact]: I just logged in and saw someone wanting to be competitive. What's up with that guy? Hasn't he already finished learning Bernahl's Ashes of War?
[dark souls i]: Who knows, maybe he was provoked by the Ashen One. He's already found Teacher Sellen and is currently learning glintstone Sorcery.
[dark souls i]: Yeah, starting with learning how to read to study magic.
[Genshin Impact]:...[Genshin Impact]: Competitive, everyone get damn competitive! I'm going back to researching soul skills, do not disturb!
[Genshin Impact]: Studying! I love studying!
[dark souls i]:...[clash of clans]: What's going on? I just logged in and saw people wanting to study. Was I always such a studious person?
[dark souls i]: Let me just ask, you don't have anything to study lately, do you?
[clash of clans]: How is that possible? I'm the number one anti-competitive person. Slacking off is my life's motto.
[dark souls i]: Tsk, another slacker has arrived.
[clash of clans]:...[clash of clans]: It's not that I don't want to study, but there's nothing to study in clash of clans. I'm just an ordinary Chief... [soul knight]: You can learn magic from the Grand Warden. I'm already at the Adventurer's Guild looking for the Taoist to learn cultivation. The Taoist's Sword Fly technique is famous even in this world.
[clash of clans]: Hiss... you've learned the Sword Fly technique?
[soul knight]:...No, I haven't even seen the Taoist's face. He's a titled adventurer of the Adventurer's Guild. How could a newbie adventurer like me see him so easily?
[clash of clans]: Then what the hell are you talking about?
[soul knight]: But I've been scouted by the Necromancer. I'm currently learning necromancy from her. Once I've learned it, we can summon calamities, spread plagues, and resurrect the dead.
[clash of clans]: I feel like our style is leaning more and more towards being villains... [dark souls iii]: What's so strange about that? Haven't we always been villains?
[clash of clans]: Holy crap! You scared me. Weren't you going to study? Why are you still lurking in the chat? And what villain? Don't talk nonsense. There are no better people than us.
[dark souls iii]: Because all the people better than us have been killed by us, jie jie jie!
[clash of clans]:...[soul knight]: Who says those who know necromancy are bad people? Here, the Necromancer is just a branch of mages. Besides, there's also the Demonancer. She and the Necromancer are both members of the Adventurer's Guild, just like the Taoist, and are among the strongest titled adventurers.
[clash of clans]: Even so, I still want to cultivate. The Sword Fly technique is so cool, and there are skills like the Myriad Swords Returning to Origin. It would be great if a cultivation version of Xia Yu showed up.
[soul knight]: There are quite a few cultivation games. Whether it's the mobile versions like 'do you want to cultivate immortality' or 'Chimeraland', or the PC versions like 'Tale of Immortal' or 'Amazing Cultivation Simulator', they are all cultivation games.
[soul knight]: And we've played all these games. Maybe a Xia Yu has transmigrated into one of them.
[clash of clans]: That makes sense. Please let a newcomer arrive, preferably one from a cultivation game.
[dark souls iii]: Tch, how could a newcomer appear so easily? If a newcomer comes, I'll go fight the Crystallized Elder on the Road of Sacrifices right now.
[Xia Yu has joined the Chat Group!]
[dark souls iii]:...[dark souls iii]: Fuck, this Chat Group is specifically working against me, isn't it? Anyway, I didn't make a vow, I was just joking just now.
[clash of clans]: Hehe~
[soul knight]: Hehe~
[dark souls iii]: Newcomer, say something. It's rare that only one person joined this time.
[Xia Yu]: Who has healing? Quick, I have someone injured here!
