Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 124

"Lucy... cough... Sister Lucy, greetings to the lord!" Felix stood at the doorway, clearing his throat before addressing them.

Ye Bai and Lucy’s eyes lit up simultaneously.

Compared to his condition not long ago, Felix now seemed reborn—full of vitality and vigor befitting his age. His eyes sparkled with life, and even his fiery red hair appeared glossier and brighter.

Ye Bai immediately used [Insight] on Felix.

Felix’s level remained unchanged at 1, but his attributes, identity, profession, and talents had undergone a dramatic transformation.

His identity now included "Favored by the Eighth Layer of the Abyss," an inheritance from the snake demon lord. However, due to Felix’s low level and partial Abyssal bloodline, he couldn’t directly become the Abyssal Lord of the eighth layer. Instead, he gained favor, granting him attribute boosts and enhanced growth when venturing into that realm.

Had Ye Bai, as a player and the one who participated in the kill, used the crystal, she could have directly claimed the title of Abyssal Lord of the eighth layer.

His profession had changed to "Serpent’s Core," a unique hidden class derived from the snake demon crystal. Though exclusive, its growth path mirrored the skills of a snake demon lord.

The other talents, Chaos Force and Devouring Awakening, were high-tier Abyssal traits. Chaos Force added extra damage to attacks, while Devouring Awakening resembled Kraken’s Devour ability, accelerating growth—fitting for a lineage akin to the snake demon lord’s.

Lucy stepped forward to examine Felix’s condition, confirming that the effects of Burning Blood had been completely resolved. Nodding in satisfaction, she explained,

"Felix, it was only through the lord’s daring expedition that we found the cure for your condition. You must remember this kindness."

"I understand."

Felix nodded solemnly. Then, mimicking the gestures of warriors pledging allegiance he’d seen before, he knelt on one knee before Ye Bai, fist pressed to his chest.

"Allow me to repay your grace with my life."

Felix had always been a gentle and considerate boy, enduring the agony of Burning Blood without burdening others. But that didn’t mean he enjoyed living in constant pain.

Skills: Frost Mist, Suffocating Coil, Tail Whip, Devouring Bite

Weaknesses: Seven-inch spot, Mouth

This time, the boss was a serpent—what a coincidence.

From the watchtower, Ye Bai scanned it with [Insight] and immediately dismissed the idea of intervening. The energy crossbows were perfect for dealing with such a massive boss. Compared to the previous Twin-Headed Vulture, this King Serpent was much easier to handle.

Moreover, Felix’s class panel was derived from the higher-tier Serpent Demon Lord. Compared to the Kraken, this terrifying serpent might as well be called a mere snake.

On the frontlines, Blaze and the others stood ready. Their long-trained coordination and superior equipment gave them confidence.

Besides, if the lord had to step in every time the territory faced a beast tide, what was the point of having a barracks?

"Fire!"

At the command, the first volley of energy bolts shot toward the King Serpent’s massive body.

The highest-leveled guards, also the barracks’ instructors, moved in unison, using their class skills to restrain the serpent and create openings for damage.

The observing players in the distance roughly gauged the monster level required for upgrading a territory to Tier 5.

By now, none of them harbored thoughts of stealing the kill. Everyone knew how deadly White Night Town’s energy weapons were. Plus, after a month, the player base around the town had shifted—none of the current players were confident enough to try snatching the boss.

The monster density near the town was lower than in NPC cities. Due to player activity, the leveling resources around White Night Town had grown scarce, unable to sustain players above Level 30. Higher-level players had already moved on to NPC cities.

So, no matter how tempting the boss was, from any angle, no player was foolish enough to try their luck—after all, "trying" often meant "dying."

The guards had reached Levels 26-27 when the town upgraded to Tier 5. Over the in-game month Ye Bai was away, training and routine battles had pushed them to Levels 33-34, slightly ahead of the player base.

Over sixty warriors above Level 20 joined the fight against the King Serpent.

With traps and well-coordinated tactics, the serpent’s health steadily dropped.

Amid the fierce battle, Felix, on his first real battlefield, stood out. Having leveled up to 22 during the earlier waves, he fought alongside the other guards against the King Serpent, growing fiercer with each strike.

By the midway point, Felix had unknowingly become the frontline’s main force.

His movements were agile, his strength immense—every attack made the King Serpent writhe in pain, solidly holding the boss’s aggro while the ranged crossbow users dealt continuous damage.

Blaze and the others gradually freed themselves from the fight, stunned to see Felix taking the lead.

Especially Blaze. His perception of the boy was once again overturned. In his daze, he thought he saw an illusion—Felix’s body wreathed in a flickering, fiery silhouette.

The phantom flames burned brighter as Felix’s battle with the King Serpent intensified. The serpent’s freezing breath had no effect on him, and soon, the King Serpent was the one at a disadvantage.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Wave after wave of energy arrows scorched the serpent’s body, chipping away at its health.

Finally, Felix leaped forward, driving his steel sword into a pale scale beneath the serpent’s neck.

"Hiss—!"

The King Serpent let out a shrill cry before collapsing, lifeless, to the ground.

Felix, still gripping his sword, landed with the falling corpse, his chest heaving.

After a brief silence, cheers erupted as dawn’s light broke in the distance.

But Blaze’s eyes remained fixed on Felix. The red-haired boy, his face obscured by his hair, panted excitedly, not joining the celebration. Instead, he yanked his sword free from the serpent’s body.

"Schlick!"

Blood splattered over Felix. For a fleeting moment, Blaze thought he saw the phantom flames morph into an indescribable, multi-headed serpentine shadow—each head more terrifying than the King Serpent by a thousandfold.

Then, as if sensing his gaze, Felix’s eyes flicked toward Blaze.

The madness, cruelty, and icy detachment in that single glance rooted Blaze to the spot, cold sweat drenching his back as primal fear gripped him.

"Not bad!"

A familiar voice broke the tension. Blaze watched as Lord Ye Bai, completely unaware, walked toward the now-dangerous Felix.

His pupils constricted, and he rasped out a warning—

"My Lord—!"

Before the word "careful" could even form in his mind, Blaze saw the indistinct, writhing shadow of the hydra-like apparition in his vision tremble violently as Ye Bai approached. In the next instant, it melted away like snow meeting fire.

Then Felix, who had seemed to be caught in some unknown peril, shuddered violently and reverted to his initial timid and awkward demeanor—no, not just awkward, but outright fearful as he stood rigidly before Ye Bai. "G-Greetings, my lord!"

Blaze's eyes widened in disbelief, as if everything that had just happened had been nothing but an illusion dispelled by the lord's arrival.

Ye Bai patted Felix on the shoulder. "I saw your performance. Well done. There’s no need… to be so nervous."

Encouraged, Felix nodded, struggling to suppress the overwhelming terror rising from the depths of his being.

He couldn’t understand it himself. Before, he hadn’t felt this way, but after growing stronger in battle, he now found himself uncontrollably afraid in the presence of his lord. This fear wasn’t born of his own will—it felt as though it stemmed from something deeper, something ingrained in his very blood.

Seeing Felix so frightened, Ye Bai dismissed him and turned to Blaze, who had called out to her earlier. "What happened?"

Blaze shook his head briskly, his gaze toward Ye Bai brimming with even greater reverence. "Nothing. I must have been momentarily dazed."

"Rest well after the battle," Ye Bai encouraged her ever-diligent captain of the guard before turning toward the rising sun to oversee the aftermath.

Noting that Felix had reached level 37 after this battle, Ye Bai was pleased with his rapid growth. Soon, he’d be capable of standing on his own.

But… why did the boy seem so terrified of her?

Suddenly, a thought struck her. She opened her personal panel, her eyes settling on the entries for [Godslayer] and [Dread of the Serpent].

Mystery solved.
