Legendary Broken Player - VRMMORPG

The soft hiss of air escaped as Leon's senses began to return. He stirred awake inside the capsule device, blinking away the grogginess. Standing just outside was Lily, smiling warmly and waving at him.

"Hi, sweet dreams?" she asked, her voice light and cheerful.

"More like a long dream," Leon replied casually, stepping out of the capsule.

His thoughts lingered on everything that had happened in the game. It hadn't even been a full 24 hours, but so much had occurred. Too much. He felt utterly drained, as if the experience had siphoned his entire soul.

As he stretched and adjusted to being back in the real world, Lily suddenly wrapped her arms around him in a quick, unexpected hug.

"What's this for?"

"To cheer you up," she said with a grin, pulling away playfully.

"You make it sound like I'm completely devastated or something," Leon replied, flashing a half-hearted smirk. Though he tried to play it off, the weariness in his expression betrayed him.

He rolled his shoulders and stretched again, trying to shake off the stiffness. "Ugh, I could use another massage," he muttered, heading toward the living room.

Without hesitation, he flopped onto the plush sofa, sinking into its comforting embrace.

Lily followed him, watching as he sprawled out, looking like he could pass out again at any moment. His mind, however, was clearly racing, overwhelmed with thoughts and lingering fatigue.

What day is it? he wondered briefly.

Sunday. Around 5 PM. The realization didn't bring much clarity — just the sense that the weekend was slipping by faster than he wanted.

"Wanna go out? Grab food? Hit the supermarket?" Lily suggested.

"Great idea," Leon replied, perking up just enough to muster some energy. "Let's go."

They quickly got ready and headed down to the basement parking. Moments later, the sleek Northstar EV rolled out of the parking area and smoothly merged onto the street.

It was late February, the tail end of winter. The chill in the air was losing its edge, hinting at the coming spring.

Everything in the past few weeks felt like a blur to Leon, his mind having been so focused on preparing for the Eternal Challenge.

Speaking of the Eternal Challenge, the event was fast approaching. An excitement stirred in him at the thought of it. The idea of seeing all the people he knew from the game, not just as their in-game characters but in real life, made his heart race.

Would Frostedge, Galactron, and the other Divine Champions also attend this massive competition?

An event of this scale was bound to attract top-tier players from across the globe. While Leon had already met a few Divine Champions in the game, he hadn't interacted with all of them yet. The prospect of finally meeting these legendary players in person—players from every continent in Yunatea—was both thrilling and surreal.

Lost in thought, Leon stared blankly. The car, now in auto-drive mode, navigated the roads effortlessly, allowing him to stay deep in his musings.

"Will you join the Eternal Challenge, Lily?" Leon suddenly asked.

"The Eternal Challenge? No way… I'd be useless without Hazel," she replied with a soft laugh.

"Will Hazel join?"

"Probably. She hasn't talked much about the Eternal Challenge itself, but for the past few months, she's been focused on researching the Floating Island and the Vensalor Kingdom," Lily answered. "The same name you picked for your guild."

Leon nodded slowly. "I guess she's pretty obsessed with that quest, huh?"

"Absolutely. It's an SS-rated quest, after all. Even your S-rated quest gave you an insane reward, Leon… I mean, being able to upgrade a Legendary-grade item to Mythic-grade? That's ridiculous."

Leon grinned at her words. "Yeah, I didn't expect the reward to be that over-the-top either."

"It's more than just over-the-top. I'm pretty sure you're the only player with a Mythic-grade item! I can't imagine any Native Yunateans in the game having access to something that rare either."

Perhaps it was because Leon had used the spear against Focalor, a Named Demon with a level well over 400, that he hadn't fully experienced just how overpowered the weapon truly was.

The enemy he faced had been overwhelmingly strong. Even then, he'd needed Ivana's help with her half-dragon form and Alora's assistance with her Golden Paragon abilities. Leon himself had to push everything to the limit, using every skill and tactic at his disposal just to stay in the fight.

But if he were to use that spear in a normal battle against opponents closer to his own level? Surely, it would be absurdly, ridiculously overpowered!

He couldn't wait to test it out again.

Though deep down, he couldn't help but wish for more Mythic-grade items. Maybe, just maybe, he could upgrade his scythe to Mythic-grade as well—or better yet, get an entire armor set of the same grade.

The thought alone reignited his excitement. His crafting journey wasn't over yet—not by a long shot. And now, he was more eager than ever to continue.

"You know you've become pretty famous since the war in Dissidia is over?"

"In a good way?"

Lily chuckled softly. "Mixed comments."

"Let me guess," Leon said, smirking. "Is it because I kept getting caught on camera hugging Alora and Ivana?"

Lily smiled and nodded. "Wait until they find out you've married the Princess. I'm sure the hater club forming against you will grow even stronger."

"I'd love to see them work hard on that," Leon replied with a grin. "The more, the better."

"So you can use your Grim Reaper form to slaughter them?"

"How do you always know exactly what I'm thinking, Lily?"

She giggled at his response. "Maybe you don't realize it, but your face changes every time you're faced with a big challenge. Like when all hope is gone, and standing in front of you is a Named Demon with a level that high… yet you still keep walking forward. What's going on in your head in moments like that, Leon?"

Leon shrugged casually. "I don't know. I just don't think."

Lily laughed at his answer.

She continued, "More and more people are speculating that you're a Divine Champion."

"Well, it's not like they wouldn't think that after I showed so much during the war."

"Hmm… and the fact that you can summon the Golden Paragon. There's plenty of speculation—like maybe you're the Envy Champion, copying the Golden Paragon, or the Wrath Champion, boosting your stats and levels like Booba."

"I don't really care anymore if people figure out the truth."

"Is that because you've gained more supporters now?"

Leon shook his head. "More supporters, sure, but also more challenges I have to face."

"Surely that's because Dissidia is in such a vulnerable state right now, right?"

Leon gave her a slow nod. "There might be another attack, maybe even another war. It's only natural someone would try to exploit Dissidia's current weakness. But I don't know."

His voice trailed off.

Leon reached out and ruffled Lily's hair playfully. "Thanks for helping clear my head."

"Stop it! You're ruining my hair, Leon!" she protested.

Leon only chuckled in response, clearly amused.

"And congratulations on the marriage, by the way," Lily added, giggling as she spoke.

Without missing a beat, Leon reached for her hair again and gave it another playful tousle.

"Leon!!!" she yelled, this time louder.

Leon just laughed harder, clearly enjoying her reaction.
