Ye Qiao recently got hooked on a virtual reality game, where she found a poor, bedraggled little boy.
The boy was so miserable that Ye Qiao couldn't bear to watch. She spent money on skills and grinded for gear, turning a game about leveling up and fighting monsters into a child-rearing game.
But the game's awful developers had set the passage of time to move too fast. Every time she logged in, the timeline had jumped ahead by several years.
When the little boy, who had once lifted his head from the mud with a sinister gaze, grew into an emperor clad in armor, sword in hand, challenging the world, the
wretched program crashed and the game data was lost. Furious, Ye Qiao complained to the game company, but there was nothing she could do about the game character losing all his memories.
Unable to bring herself to quit, Ye Qiao logged in every day, casually fishing and farming, content with catching an occasional glimpse of the child she had raised.
But after his memories were wiped, the boy she had raised with her own hands turned on her and repaid her with his sword. In the game, Ye Qiao was driven away, tortured, and exiled to the wilderness.
Her heart finally went cold, and Ye Qiao quit the game in a fury.
She never logged in again.
By then, the emperor Tilanduin stood at the peak of the continent and began dreaming of a girl every day.
In his dreams, she pulled him out of the darkness of his childhood. She watched him grow up and made his armor with her own hands.
Like the moon above a mountain peak, she watched him with the tender gaze of a god.
Her yearly visits were the only divine blessing in his long, dark journey.
But what had he done to the only god he had ever known?
The emperor, who suddenly remembered everything, clutched the sash over his chest on his cold throne, suffocating like a fish stranded on a drying beach.
