Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mary climbed up to Maron in embarrassment and leaned into his arms. 

She could feel his heartbeat and breathing clearly. 

With all that Maron had done for her, she felt so safe in his arms. 

No one could give her that kind of security, not even her father had given her that kind of security. 

Maron also noticed Mary’s actions but he was thinking about something. 

‘Where did the Ghost in the Mirror go?’ 

According to the revelation in his eyes, the Ghost in the Mirror should have possessed him, but he did not feel anything. It was as if nothing had happened. This made him very confused. 

“Do you want to…” 

At this time, Mary opened her mouth to speak, but halfway through, she stopped talking. 

“You can go out and sleep.” Maron turned around and looked at the girl who had slept with him without his consent. 

“I…” Hearing this, Mary did not know what to say, but she was not convinced. “I’m very clean.” 

Maron said helplessly, “That’s not what I’m talking about. This bed is too small. It can’t fit two people.” 

He had also seen that Mary was indeed very beautiful and had a great figure. 

In the past, he would have said that Mary could score 99 out of 100 on a test of how hot a girl was, but he was not interested in doing that now. 

The world had turned into a game world. He was tired from doing missions and now he just wanted to sleep. However, these words did not sound like that to Mary. 

She felt that Maron did not like her. 

“I’m really clean. I can do anything you want me to do for you.” Mary insisted. 

Maron shook his head and said, “Forget it. I’m not going to talk to you anymore. I’m going to sleep now. I can sleep here if I want to. I don’t care if I fall.” After saying that, Maron closed his eyes. 

Mary didn’t say anything and didn’t get out of the bed. 

After a while, Maron opened his eyes. He couldn’t stand it. He was shirtless to begin with and was only wearing a pair of underwear. On top of that, Mary was sticking close to him. 

The feeling in his skin was a little unbearable. 

He didn’t want to do that kind of thing. He was very tired now. He just wanted to sleep. 

“You go and put on your clothes,” Maron said. 

At this time, Mary wasn’t sleeping either, there was a handsome man lying next to her, how could she sleep? In fact, she was ready to give up her first time, but this man was indifferent, this made her very depressed. 

When Mary heard Maron’s words, she was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed the distance between the two of them. 

They were already close together. 

The meaning of his words was that he couldn’t stand this feeling of closeness and wanted her to put on her clothes. 

So, he did still have feelings! Otherwise, why would he ask her to put on her clothes? 

“Oh, okay.” Mary got up from the bed and quickly walked into the bathroom, but saw that her clothes were already covered in blood and mud. 

Well, now she had no clothes to wear. 

She walked out of the bathroom naked again and returned to the bed. 

“Didn’t I tell you to put your clothes on?” Maron felt them touch skin to skin again. 

“I… My clothes are covered in blood. I can’t wear them anymore,” Mary explained. 

Maron shook his head and didn’t say anything. 

Mary thought Maron was angry and quickly explained, “Then I’ll go next door to get them. There should be clean clothes there.” 

With that, she got ready to get out of bed, but Maron stopped her. 

“Never mind, it’s fine,” Maron said and then he fell asleep. 

The sound of even breathing came from Maron’s nose. He was totally asleep. 

Mary couldn’t believe it. He fell asleep so fast? 

‘I thought you said you couldn’t sleep?’ 

She didn’t think much of it, went back to Maron, pulled the covers, and went to sleep. 

… … … . . 

They slept together for hours and nothing happened. 

Now, Maron was awake. 

He looked at the time. He had slept for eight hours and according to his cell phone, there were dozens of missed calls. 

“Who is it?” Maron wondered and then he flipped through the phone records. 

There were 50 missed calls, from five people, each having called him ten times each. 

He knew all of these people. Two of them were his parents, and the other three were his friends. 

Maron dialed one of them, his friend’s and the call was picked up within a few seconds. 

“Maron? My dude, you’re actually number one on the game rankings! You’ve completed a total of three missions, as well as a Deadly Spectre Puzzle and a support item. Impressive!” A young man’s voice came from the receiver. 

Maron asked, “What happened?” He knew about the rankings, but he didn’t pay much attention to his own ranking. Did the rankings really show what he had obtained? 

“Now this world has become a game world. Everyone only has a lifespan of five years. You have almost ten years now!” His friend said excitedly. 

Maron said, “More or less.” 

“You’re really amazing! It took me a lot of effort to solve the initial mission and I didn’t get anything. But you completed three missions in one go and even got a Spectre Puzzle!” His friend was still very excited. 

“It’s not bad. I’m just lucky.” Maron said. 

“What’s not bad? Dude, listen, someone might target you because of the Spectre Puzzle.” 

“Okay, I got it.” After saying that, Maron hung up the phone. Making a phone call also required one to spend one’s lifespan; one minute meant one day’s lifespan. 

However, he had to think about what his friend said. 

There were people out there who would snatch the Deadly Spectre Puzzle? 

When he looked at the phone again, he understood. The phone had a transfer function and a mall; players could trade with each other, which also meant they could rob each other. 

Then, he opened the leaderboard and saw that he was ranked first. 

There were only ten people who had obtained a Deadly Spectre Puzzle and he was one of them. 

It could be understood that Deadly Spectre Puzzles were very important, not only could it be used to buy and sell items, but it could also be used on him. 

If it was used on him, he could also obtain the ability of the malicious ghost. 

From there, he could strengthen his own abilities so that when he encountered a ghost, he could have the capital to contend against it. 

“Is it dawn?” 

Maron suddenly noticed that the sky outside was already bright. 

At this moment, a message popped up on his phone. 

[Global Thriller version 1.1 has been updated. The player’s degree of freedom has increased. After dark, the number of deadly ghosts will increase drastically! Please pay attention to your surroundings!] 

‘How did it update to version 1.1 so quickly?’ Maron thought to himself. 

Now, it was the same as before. There was day and night. 

There were deadly ghosts during the day and at night. However, the number of deadly ghosts would increase even more now.
