Then, a female mage appeared before him, sporting an exquisite avatar decked out in top-tier gear.
She noticed Jack immediately and walked toward him. She was none other than "As It Was Before."
"Legend of the East" had a unique feature that allowed players to customize their avatars' appearance based on their real-life features and body types. In this game, avatars varied wildly in appearance, but like in real life, beauty still drew attention, or the lack of it too.
Based on this fact, "As It Was Before" had to be a real beauty. Could she actually be a girl?
"Let's head to the marriage hall. I've prepared the rings, so let's get married!"
Her sudden proposal caught Jack off guard. "M-Married?"
Jack never expected this beautiful lady, who called herself "As It Was Before", would propose marriage when she met him. Was this supposed to be a joke?
From Jack's tone, "As It Was Before" seemed to have imagined how perplexed he must have been behind the screen.
So, she sent a snickering emoji and asked, "What's the matter? A beautiful lady like me is pursuing you and proposing to you. What's there to hesitate about?"
No one would ever want to miss out on a potential romance, but this was still a virtual world, after all. For all he knew, this "goddess" could be a burly, bearded dude scratching his feet behind the screen.
"Why would you want to marry me? You're decked out in top-tier gear; you should find a rich player worthy of your status?"
Jack opened his inventory and glanced at his mediocre gear. He was nowhere near resembling a rich player.
