Lilim Heritage Online 177 Official Release

At school, an attractive female dragonewt with long blond hair, folded red wings, a dragon tail, and two horns sat by the side of a pretty short-haired boy of the same race.

The girly boy had short hair, sharp eyes, red pupils, and a small figure, which could be misunderstood as a middle-school student.

The former was Shurka, while the trap boy was Misha.

Although Misha was a boy, she had a secret.

Her soul was actually a female alien, a fairy overlord whose memories got overwritten by the boy's grandmother. Moreover, the body she was using was not hers. It was Mia's real body.

Shurka had already learned about Misha's secret, and she was okay with it. Since it was Misha whom Shurka knew from the very beginning, she did not care what past Misha had.

Yes, the two were dating. A female dragonewt was dating a trap dragonewt, who had a girl's soul.

.

Misha and Shurka read the news and the investigation articles of the alternate dimension games. The more they read, the more they worried about Maou.

They had seen the intro movie of LHO, and they saw Mia.

Furthermore, the pilot that fought Mia was actually Thorn!

Something had happened in that world that made the two fight each other, but all the reports and researches did not mention anything about Mia and Thorn's existence.

"Isn't that Maou?"

"It's him."

"What happened during these months? How long have we stopped playing the game?"

"Many years must have passed inside the game. The last time I know, we were planning to research on the stealth ICBM tech tree or something. After that, Maou chased us out of the game and stayed behind."

Both of them could only speculate about the events after they had left. No matter what they had researched in social media or the news, no one mentioned anything about the game background other than the intro movie.

"Do you … want to return to the game?" Shurka was nervous that Misha would reenter the game to find Maou.

"Well, the news said that the casual server will be harmless to the players since we can respawn upon death. If I'm playing the game again, I might as well play the casual server while I look for Maou's news."

"R-Right! The casual server is safer! The hardcore server is for the PKers!"

"Will you play with me if I'm joining the casual server?"

"Err …"

Shurka hesitated. She did not like the background setting of the game since it was too realistic.

"How about this? I will survey the game when it's launched. And if it's safe, I'll come back to tell you what's inside the game."

"Do you really have to play this game?"

"Maou is my other-self. I have to find him and get him back to his grandmother."

.

.

The next day, at 7.55 AM.

Misha walked to the side of her LHO game capsule in her room for the first time in months. Although she only spent a few days playing in the close-beta, the memory was still fresh for her.

"It's been a while."

She entered the capsule and waited for the opening time, which should be around 8 AM.

The social media was crazy about the game. All alphtest gameplays were uploaded to the internet by the government insiders, who were making money from the ad revenues.

Misha watched the gameplay to kill time, but she did not enjoy watching it.

The gameplay was flashy as the player displayed his psychic skills and marksmanship to kill zombies, which was bland to Misha.

She had experienced a real hell of a battlefield through herself and Maou. She knew that these zombies were nothing but a tutorial. Once players ran into a battle between mutants and mechs, they would understand the difference.

*Mew?* (I wonder if I can return to that place again.)

"I think you will, Tama."

The meowing came from Misha's chest, where the creature resided. A symbiosis parasite eggcat, named Tama, was living inside Misha's body.

Tama was a harmless eggcat that Misha had picked up in the game during the close-beta. As fate pranked on them, Misha took Tama to the real world by chance, and their life changed because of it.

After a brief adventure together in-game and in real life, they were co-living together in peace.

*Meh-Heh Mew!* (If we have to start over, let's pick a demi-human race. I can get smarter with this race.)

"Meh, we are an inferno dragonewt. If we become a demi-human, what will happen to us when we return? I don't want to lose my VIT and STM in real life."

*Mew* (You only used your STM on the bed with Shurka! Let's become demi-human and increase your INT and WIS! Your INT status is too low to the point that you can barely pass the previous exams.)

"Are you saying I'm stupid?"

*Meh-Heh Mew* (No, you're not stupid. You're a banana!)

"…"

>

The clock ticked at 8 AM, and the game screen inside the capsule changed. The server connection of this game turned green, and both servers had been opened.

"It's time. Let's find Maou and get him home."

*Mew!* (Let's get that wet banana home!)

.

.

.

When Misha's conscience entered the game, she was greeted by a nostalgic grassland that she used to create her character.

Also, someone she knew was floating before her, the famous goddess Lilith.

"Hi, Lilith. Nice to see you again," Misha smiled at Lilith.

Lilith smirked at Misha, "Welcome back. It's been a while, isn't it."

"Yeah, it's been months."

"It was almost 8 years to me. Well, by now you should know that your previous character progress in-game is going to be reset, right?"

"Will it affect my real status in the real world?"

"If you pick the hardcore server and go in with all of your previous attributes and skills, then yes. Otherwise, no."

"Then, can I play the casual server? I don't want to jump into a death game this time."

"Sure, but your character will become a level-1 without a skill like others. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. By the way, is Maou playing in the hardcore server or the casual server?"

Lilith paused. Her smiling face disappeared.

"Hardcore server."

"Can I meet him if I play the casual server?"

"Unfortunately, both servers' data are not linked. The casual is a game, while the other is an alternate dimension. You have to pick one."

"…"

"A pro's tip, you can transfer your character from the casual server to the hardcore server if you feel like you're ready. Once you do, all of your real skills and status attributes will combine with your game avatar's abilities, and you will be able to play in the hardcore server."

"Really?"

"Bear in mind that once you have moved to the hardcore server, you can't go back to the casual server. Also, I've fixed a lot of bugs regarding the logout sequence. You can't press the logout button while you're in the middle of a fight anymore, even in the casual server."

"…"

"Then, what's your final answer? Are you joining the casual server?"

Misha wanted to rejoin the hardcore server to find Maou. However, she valued Shurka's safety more than anything else at the moment.

"Casual, please. By the way, can I bring Tama into the game as well?"

"I see no problem with that."

"Thank you!"

Misha rejoiced. With Tama around, her gaming experience would not be boring.

"Next, since you're an inferno dragonewt, and you were once a human and a demi-human, you can pick one among the three."

Misha picked her current race without hesitation, the inferno dragonewt.

For the sake of playing the game with Tama's assistance like the past, she could not pick the human race. Demi-human was also out of the question since it was weaker than a dragonewt.

Moreover, inferno dragonewts are immune to fire attacks, and its body was the toughest among all choices. She could make use of it.

There were no physical tests this time. Lilith allowed Misha to customize her character again.

"I've loaded the pre-set of your character settings. Unfortunately, you can only pick one appearance since you don't have that [Polymorph] skill anymore."

Two avatars of Misha's current girly boy body of Mia and the other "Female Misha" was floating in the air before her.

Misha smiled and picked the "Female Misha" without hesitation.

"Are you sure?" Asked Lilith.

"Yeah. This is supposed to be my real body, after all."

"I'll adjust the features, so it will become suitable for an inferno dragonewt. Well, you can enter the game now. Good luck."

"Thank you, Lilith."

"Don't thank me. Thank Maou if you happen to meet him in the future."

.

.

.

Misha reappeared inside an ancient Parthenon.

Within the temple, a five-meter tall statue of a dragonewt situated before her. There was writing on a pallet below the figure.

[For the lost dragonewts, touch me gently and scratch my itching left toe. As the god of all dragonewts, I shall bestow you a starting skill of your choice as a reward.]

"…"

*Mew!* (The first minute into the open-beta version of the game, a sick freak has appeared.)

Misha did not celebrate that Tama also joined her into the game as well. Her mind was blank as she read the unique message.

She felt like she was sexually harassed by the writer.

Yet, she extended her hand and scratched the statue's left foot's toe.

*Oh yeah!*

A deep voice manly moan caused Misha and Tama to shiver in fear. However, the perverted statue blessed them with a system prompt screen.

Misha checked her current character's skill. As she had expected, Misha restarted the game with a new character without a skill.

"Which one should I pick?"

*Mew* (The best defense is the best offense. The best attack is still the best attack. Pick a defense skill or the auto-regeneration skill!)

"Wait, what?"

*Meh-Heh Mew!* (Trust me, I'm an engineer! I meant, I'm a genius eggcat! You can use me to attack zombies in the early game.)

Misha recalled her past experience. Tama could transform her tentacle into sharp spear tips or swords at will. Moreover, she had learned a tendril skill from Maou, which could release a porcupine strike around herself.

Since Tama could be the attacking assistant, Misha picked the auto-regeneration skill for self-heal.

*Whoosh!*

A light shone on Misha's body.
