LUO YAN spent the whole afternoon with his family. He only managed to get back to the game after dinner. He appeared on the exact spot where he logged out. He noticed that the ugly tree already respawned. He immediately ran to a safer area, away from the tree's attacking range.
Since he's already done with the Elder's task and the additional task, he decided to go back to the village. He was actually quite excited to know what kind of rewards he would get. On the way to the village, he killed monsters and continued to grind levels. By the time he reached the village, he was already at level 12.
He was just a few feet away from the entrance of the village when he noticed that the one standing beside the gate was not the same Gatekeeper he met when he left the village. The one whose son was missing. He looked at the floating name above the elf standing beside the gate. It said, 'Temporary Gatekeeper'.
