"He is Broken," Ivana answered Max's inquiry.
"Broken?" Max responded, a bit taken aback. "Isn't that the player who refused our interview yesterday?"
"Yes, Max, I think we're talking about the sa person," Morbit chid in.
Lionell, the Knight Grand Cross, approached Morbit, Max, and the others. His towering
presence instantly commanded respect from everyone around him.
"I appreciate the hard work done by the contestant nad Broken," Lionell said. "I will only allow one person to approach him. I will also escort them myself to ensure there is no cheating and the other contestants are not disturbed."
Ivana smiled gratefully at Lionell's kindness and bowed slightly. "Thank you, Sir Lionell," she said.
"See," Morbit replied. "I think we have the permission we need. Ivana will be able to et the player nad Broken."
Max then added, "Let's accompany Ivana to et her Prince Charming. We are sure to witness a touching mont between a player and an NPC, showcasing a unique bond that could only happen in Immortal Legacy."
With that, Morbit, Max, and Ivana made their way to the center of the arena, with Lionell escorting them from behind. As they moved closer to Broken, the anticipation grew. Viewers watching the broadcast felt the tension and excitent, eager to see what would unfold in this unique scenario.
Ivana approached Broken, sensing that he was deeply absorbed in his work. She didn't want to disturb him but couldn't resist sharing so food. As she opened her wooden bag, the delicious aroma filled the air.
"Broken..." Ivana called gently, trying not to startle him.
Slowly, Broken lifted his head from his forging tool. His eyes t hers, and he gradually slowed his pace until he stopped completely. He noticed the others around him, including the two enthusiastic hosts and Knight Lionell.
"Ivana... What are you doing here?" he asked quietly.
"You need to eat," Ivana replied softly, her words touching him deeply.
Broken glanced at the ti on his system and realized how long he had been engrossed in his work. "Have I really been working for that long?" he mused. He had been so focused, determined to make the most of the limited ti, that he lost track of everything else.
"I guess I overdid it," he chuckled.
"Isn't that what you always do?" she teased, her smile softening her words.
He returned her smile. "Yeah, I suppose you're right."
Ivana gave a quick nod. "Freya ntioned you should log out soon. Your body out there needs so food too, doesn't it?"
"Yes, I'll log out briefly after this. I can already feel the hunger pangs," he said with a smile. "Let help you," Ivana offered, preparing the food for him.
Broken was silent for a mont, feeling overwheld by her kindness. "I can do it myself."
Ivana shook her head. "Let help you a little."
As Ivana set up the food, Broken took a forkful of spaghetti and brought it to his virtual mouth.
"I love it," he said, savoring the flavors.
"You never seem to get tired of saying how good the food is, do you?" she said, giggling.
"I'll always gladly tell you how delicious your cooking is, feeling grateful I get to taste such amazing food."
Ivana giggled at his words. "Thanks..."
They sat together, communicating with fewer words. The presence of others around them faded into the background, leaving just the two of them in their own mont.
Max's face lit up with uncontainable excitent as she turned toward the cara, her eyes sparkling with joy.
"You're not going to believe this! This is the most stunning thing I've witnessed since playing Immortal Legacy," she exclaid passionately.
"Can you see how love can blossom, even when you're a player and your partner is an NPC? I'm curious-has anyone else experienced sothing similar? Please, share your romantic tales from the ga, whether they involve another player or an NPC!"
Almost instantly, the comnts poured in, flooding the internet from all corners.
"This is absolute nonsense!"
"Seriously, it's all just programming. There's no way that guy, Broken, could ever attract soone as stunning as that Special NPC."
"Are they for real? This is just ridiculous!"
"But wait, isn't Broken the one who joined the raid battle with The Ass Guild a few weeks back?"
"Yeah, I rember him! He was fighting with both a sword and a bow."
"This is getting stranger by the minute-could Broken really have multiple classes? It's hard to believe!"
"I've actually seen Broken and Ivana together in Clario town before. I'm pretty sure there's sothing real between them."
"But honestly, if they keep pulling stunts like this, I'm tuning out for good!"
"That Ivana girl is so beautiful-I'd totally make her my waifu!"

Leon slowly opened his eyes and erged from the capsule device, his stomach growling loudly after sixteen straight hours inside the ga. He desperately needed sothing to eat. He walked out of his room and found Lily chatting animatedly with Freya in the living room. They were both engrossed in watching a grand event from The Dissidia Kingdom projected on
the TV screen.
"Oh, Leon, you're finally up!" Lily exclaid with a cheerful smile. "I'm seeing it now with my own eyes-all those beautiful won in your ga who are falling for you... I don't know who to pick! Ivana is so kind and cute, but Princess Alora is stunning and so cool."
Leon gave her an exhausted look, taking a deep breath to steady himself from the fatigue. "Don't pay too much attention to what Freya says," he warned, his voice even. "She has a tendency to exaggerate things sotis."
Freya burst into laughter. "Leon, I'm just giving her more details about what happened in the ga. And it's all being broadcast live across many channels, you know... you're quite
famous, Broken."
Lily giggled in agreent. "Yes, he's very famous, although plenty of people are still jealous of what he's achieved in the ga."
"Yeah, who would have thought? Soone who isn't all that popular in real life can be close to such beautiful won in a ga," Freya added, giggling as well.
The three of them moved to the dining room, with Freya and Lily accompanying Leon as he dug into his late-night dinner. He ate with an imnse appetite as if he hadn't had a al in
days.
"Lily," Freya said with a sly smirk, watching Leon devour his plate of food, "do you understand now why he's more comfortable in the ga than in reality?"
"Completely," Lily replied, bursting into laughter. "In the virtual realm, beautiful won
feed him, but here, he has to fend for himself."
"Yes, Lily," Freya responded, her tone cheeky. "And you should see Leon's face when he's
being pampered by Ivana..."
Lily shook her head, amused. "What a player he is!"
Leon looked up from his plate, leaning back in his seat. "Why don't you feed here too, Freya? After all, you're my special assistant, right?"
Freya laughed, responding in the sa teasing tone, "Oh really, Leon... I wouldn't mind. But if I do feed you, you might have to take responsibility if I end up falling for you from all this
intimacy."
"Yes, Leon," Lily chid in. "You really shouldn't toy with a woman's feelings like that, you
know."
Clearing his throat, Leon replied, "It's just feeding food. You two certainly seem to enjoy watching being fed, right?"
