My Free Will System: Transmigrating Into My Favorite Immersion Game

"It's time to move—" Margo said as she entered the room.

"What's that weird smell?" She asked no one in particular.

She walked over to Elias' bedside to wake him; as she pulled back the sheets, she was met with the sight of a naked Elias cuddled up with an equally nude Martha.

The sight before her made her head boil over, the veins on her forehead popped out in annoyance,

"Wake up you pervert!" She screamed

Elias's eyes shot open and he sat up immediately, Martha groaned as she woke,

"Is it time yet?" Elias asked as he wiped his face. He had gone past his limit with Martha the night before, but his body felt an unnatural relief due to Martha's 'healing'

Margo rolled her eyes, "So while I was keeping watch, you were here indulging in immoral acts with…I don't even know her name," she scalded Elias

"Martha, my name is Martha, and you were the one who decided to keep watch; no one forced you to. So why the complaint? How does what we do affect you?" Martha asked, shooting Margo an Irritated look

Margo frowned, "You, just leave!" She barked

"No, I'm with the child of light," Martha shot back

This made Margo's annoyance inflate, her eye glowed a bright golden shade.

Seeing this, Elias gulped "Martha, I really appreciate what you did for me, but it's in your best interest that you leave. Trust me, I wouldn't be able to stop her if she goes off" He said as he chuckled nervously

Martha looked at Elias, then Margo, and back at Elias again, "Fine," she scoffed

"You should consider being a doctor!" Elias shouted as she stormed out of the room

"Good morning?" Elias said to the fuming mad Margo, a nervous bead of sweat dripped down his cheek

Margo sighed and her eyes returned to their normal color, "Just clean up and meet us at the village center, Marius is waiting for us already," She said, a hint of disappointment in her voice before walking out of the room, leaving a baked Elias alone

Elias watched as she left and when he confirmed that she had gone, he looked down at his flaccid cock, "Meh, I have no regrets," He said out loud

,

"Good morning Elias Ashdown," Marius greeted as Elias approached, waving his hand at the young man, "Seeing as you are the last to join us, I trust you had a great night," He winked at Elias

Elias's face fell flat, 'I should have known,'

"Good morning Marius, and yes I had a great night," He said, flashing Marius a fake smile

"We better start moving; the sooner we get this over with, the sooner we help the Flares, and the sooner we can return to Elodoria. I have spent far too long being away from the High-luminary," Margo said without bothering to acknowledge Elias

"Haa...having some woman trouble I see," Marius said

"Woman trouble? Nothing of the such, she's just cranky that's all,"

Marius laughed, "Haha If you say so. Well, you heard the lady, we better get moving," Marius said as he walked forward. Elias sighed and followed behind themNôv(el)B\\jnn

The wind whispered through the tall grass of the Highlands, carrying with it the scent of earth and rain as Marius led the way; his stride was steady and sure; it was clear he was not new to the journey, and his cloak billowed behind him like a shadow.

Elias and Margo followed close, their eyes flickered over the rolling hills and the distant mountains that loomed ahead, their peaks lost in a shroud of mist.

The sun dipped lower in the sky as they pressed on, the golden light casting long shadows over the land. The path grew steeper, the grassy slopes giving way to rocky terrain. Boulders, weathered by time, jutted from the earth like the bones of some ancient beast.

The air grew thinner and cooler as they climbed higher, and the silence of the Highlands deepened, broken only by the occasional cry of a distant bird.

Marius paused at the top of a rise, glancing back at Elias and Margo. His gaze was sharp, assessing their strength.

"Not much further," he said, his voice a low rumble that seemed to blend with the wind. Elias nodded; his breath came in measured puffs while Margo wiped a sheen of sweat from her brow. Throughout the entire journey, she had not said a word to either Elias or Marius.

The path twisted and turned as they descended into a narrow valley. The ground beneath the soles of the feet shifted from loose gravel to solid stone, the earth was hard and unforgiving.

The mountains loomed closer now, their jagged edges stark against the sky. Shadows pooled in the crevices of the cliffs, where large caves yawned like the mouths of slumbering giants. The air grew heavy with the scent of damp rock and the distant murmur of underground streams.

Marius stopped at the entrance of one such cave, its dark maw framed by twisted roots and moss-covered stones.

"This is where we go in," he said, his voice carrying an edge of finality. Elias and Margo exchanged a glance. .net

"This is the cave where the Crystals are formed?" Elias asked

"Yes," Marius replied

Elias looked around, "What about the beast that was supposed to be around? The Giganteres. Or did you make that up too?" He asked

Marius chuckled, "No I did not make it up. The Giganteres is, in fact, real, real as you and me, but I did tweak the story a bit.

The Giganteres is real, but it is not some guardian of the crystals, in fact, it is not even close to this vicinity," He explained

"This man…" Elias remarked, "Well, I was hoping to see it, but let's get the crystals first," He said

Marius stepped into the cave, his boots echoing softly against the stone floor. The darkness swallowed them whole, Elias snapped his fingers, and a bright flame flared from his palm, the flame served as their source of light

"That won't be necessary," Marius said

As they ventured deeper, the faintest glimmer of light began to reveal itself. Elias and Margo followed closely behind, their breaths held in quiet anticipation.

The walls of the cave glistened with a surreal l beauty. Crystals, sharp and jagged, jutted from the stone like frozen flames, their surfaces catching the dim light and refracting it into shimmering hues of blue, green, and violet. The air was cool, almost humid, and the faint scent of minerals mixed with the tang of fresh water.

As they moved further in, the soft, steady drip of water became more pronounced. Tiny droplets fell from the tips of the crystals, catching the light as they descended. Each drop seemed to glow with its own inner radiance, casting ripples of light as they splashed into shallow pools below.

The water in these pools was unlike anything they had seen before, a luminescent liquid that shimmered with the same iridescence as the crystals above. It illuminated the cavern in a ghostly light, painting their faces with shifting colors.

Marius paused by one of the pools, crouching to observe the strange water. "This place is old," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, as if afraid to disturb the cave's ancient silence. "These crystals... they've been growing here for centuries, maybe longer. The water... it's alive with their essence."

Elias knelt beside him, dipping his fingers into the glowing pool. The water was cool to the touch, leaving a faint, luminous residue on his skin. "It's like liquid light," he marveled, watching the glow fade from his fingertips.

Margo wandered a few steps away, her gaze captivated by a particularly large crystal formation. It towered over her, nearly touching the ceiling, its surface flawless and clear. She reached out, brushing her hand along its edge, feeling the cool smoothness beneath her palm.

As Marius inspected the cave, basking in its beauty, Margos suddenly pulled Elias aside,

Stunned by her actions, Elias asked, "What's wrong?"

"I've been thinking about this man; Marius. Isn't it strange that he was just able to move past the fact that you killed his son, he even went as far as bringing us to the cave we were looking for," She began

"I guess he is a very understanding man," Elias shrugged

"No one is that understanding, especially when it is about their blood kin. I feel like there's a catch to everything he has been doing. I mean, he even sent that wench to your room," She added

"Maybe it is because I am the child of light," Elias suggested

"Exactly!" Margo exclaimed, "He knows you are the child of light; that is exactly why he is so well-behaved. He wants something from you, people just don't give, they give in hopes that they can collect. They are no favors amongst, only investments," She said before walking away, and Elias pondered on what she said.

'She has a point'

"Elias Ashdown!" Marius called out, "May I have a word with you?"

"Sure, let's have it," Elias answered

"In private," Marius added
