Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

"Son! Come and try the beef brisket pot that your dad carefully prepared. Don't be in a hurry, eat it slowly!"

As the kind-faced and smiling woman spoke, she took out a piece of tender and juicy meat from the steaming beef brisket pot and carefully put it into Wu Ming's bowl.

Her eyes were full of love and care, as if she could convey all the warmth to the child in front of her.

At this time, the man sitting opposite Wu Ming, who was eating with relish, was also watching this heartwarming scene with a smile on his face.

His eyes reveal his deep love for his wife and children, as well as the satisfaction brought by family harmony. The whole picture is filled with an atmosphere of happiness, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

"Huh? Is today my birthday? Why don't I have any recollection of it? Wait...it hurts! That's not right, it seems like today is indeed my birthday!"

Looking at such a warm and beautiful scene in front of him, Wu Ming first muttered to himself with a look of suspicion.

When he was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation from deep within his mind, as short and sharp as lightning across the night sky.

"Well, it seems today really is my birthday!"

Wu Ming couldn't help but frown and his body trembled slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and continued.

In the following time, Wu Ming kept chatting and laughing with his parents in front of him, enjoying this rich and delicious dinner.

They shared every little detail of life together, sometimes laughing heartily, sometimes whispering softly, and the bond of family affection seemed even closer and stronger at this moment.

As time passed quietly, the food on the table was almost finished. At this time, Wu Ming's mother stood up and began to clean up the dishes with swift hands and feet.

When everything was cleaned up, everyone sat together and took a break.

"Son, Dad has something important to tell you."

At this moment, his father, who had been so relaxed and happy during the meal, suddenly looked gloomy and serious. He took a deep breath and slowly spoke to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming was stunned by these serious words, his mind going blank. He subconsciously turned to look at his mother, who was sitting next to him, hoping to get some explanation or comfort from her.

At this moment, the woman seemed to have noticed the strange atmosphere. She slowly put down the cup of water in her hand, and her originally calm face gradually became solemn.

She also raised her head and looked straight at Wu Ming, her eyes revealing an indescribable seriousness and concern.

Before Wu Ming could come to his senses and ask what had happened, the man quickly took out two things from his pocket and gently placed them on the table in front of Wu Ming.

Wu Ming looked closely and found that it was a bank card and an exquisite ring.

"Son, this is something Dad prepared especially for you. You must keep this bank card safe. If you ever need money in the future, you can always access it. The money in it is enough for you to live a comfortable life."

As for this ring...it may have special meaning to you, but if you don't feel the need to keep it, it's up to you whether to wear it or throw it away."

The man said earnestly.

"Something very important and urgent has happened at home. Your mother and I must leave home temporarily to deal with it. During this time, you will have to live on your own.

My son, you have grown up and are working now. You should learn to take care of yourself! If you don’t have enough money, don’t forget to keep this bank card.”

The man paused, then sighed deeply. After saying this, he reached out and gently patted Wu Ming's shoulder, his eyes full of love and reluctance.

"What? Are you guys going to abandon me again? Can't you just talk it out if something happens?"

Wu Ming widened his eyes and looked at his parents in disbelief, his voice becoming a little hoarse with anger.

The moment he heard those words, it was as if a flash of lightning flashed through Wu Ming's chaotic mind, and he suddenly woke up.

Wu Ming suddenly stood up, grabbed the bank card and ring in front of him, and smashed them hard on the hard ground with all his strength!

With a loud thud, the bank card fluttered down like a fragile leaf at Wu Ming's feet, where it lay quietly. Meanwhile, the delicate ring seemed to have taken a huge hit, colliding violently with the ground and beginning to roll.

The ring rolled all the way to the sofa not far away and finally disappeared under the sofa. However, something unexpected happened. The ring actually emitted a faint but clearly visible blue light.

At this moment, Wu Ming's heart was already filled with an inexplicable rage, which continued to expand and spread. The ring emitting a faint light on the ground was blocked by the sofa and could not be seen at all.

At this moment, Wu Ming was completely unaware that his body had also begun to emit a strange black light. These black lights were looming, entwining around him like smoke.

But the parents sitting in front of him seemed to be completely unaware of all the changes that had taken place in their son. They continued to speak to themselves, giving Wu Ming the instructions that made him feel extremely heartbroken.

Suddenly, Wu Ming's body burst out with thick, inky black light. These lights seemed to have life, dancing wildly around his body.

In the blink of an eye, the black light spread out like a flood, completely enveloping the entire room.

At this moment, Wu Ming stared wide-eyed at the shocking scene before him. The inexplicable rage within him, emanating from nowhere, burned like a raging fire, showing no sign of abating, constantly assaulting his rational defenses.

"No, is this a nightmare? I clearly remember that I was testing the number of times I could use skills!

But...something doesn't seem right. Why does this scene seem so familiar? Could it be a memory from years ago?

No, no, no, I could clearly recall my parents' faces and expressions just now, how come I forgot everything in the blink of an eye?"

Wu Ming muttered to himself, shaking his head in confusion.

At this moment, Wu Ming was horrified to find that the dining table that was originally filled with sumptuous food had disappeared, and his parents, who had just been sitting at the table chatting and laughing with him, had also evaporated into thin air. Instead, there was only a deep darkness with no end in sight, which was as creepy as an endless abyss.

"Then... what exactly is that? Is it an exit?"

Just when Wu Ming felt that he was about to be completely swallowed up by the endless, creepy darkness and was suppressed to the point of being almost unable to breathe, suddenly, an extremely faint light blue spot, like a twinkling star in the night sky, quietly emerged in the distant depths of darkness.

"Light, it's light! It must be the exit! It must be the exit from here!"

Wu Ming opened his eyes wide, as if he saw the dawn of hope for survival. Like a man who had been drifting in the vast ocean for a long time and finally found land, he stared at the light that appeared and disappeared from time to time, and murmured uncontrollably.

Then, as if pulled by an invisible force, he subconsciously took steps toward the mysterious light. Each step seemed so difficult, as if the weight of the world was pressing down on his legs, but he continued to move forward unwaveringly.

Finally, after a long and arduous move, Wu Ming came to the light spot emitting a faint blue light.

Wu Ming stretched out his hands, trembling, and carefully held it in his palms. However, the moment he touched the light, he felt a strong sense of dizziness. Everything in front of him began to blur, and then he lost consciousness and fainted on the ground again.

At the same time, beneath the sofa on the Blue Star, a ring that Wu Ming had long forgotten suddenly underwent a startling transformation. It suddenly emitted an incredibly dazzling blue light, like a blazing laser beam, shining directly on Wu Ming, who had collapsed on the floor beside the sofa.

Wu Ming, who was outside the dream, was still lying unconscious on the cold ground.

His body, which had been extremely tense and tense due to the release of the transition skill, gradually relaxed at this moment. The faint sound of breathing slowly came out of his nasal cavity and gradually turned into a steady and rhythmic snoring.
