Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 465 - The Fifth Character Property

Nie Yan had no idea how long the Luminous Dancer class advancement quest would take. If he was away for too long, he couldn't travel to the underworld, meaning Asskickers United would suffer a heavy blow financially. This really wasn't an easy decision to make.

Nie Yan felt deeply conflicted. Passing up on this quest would mean forever losing the opportunity to become a Luminous Dancer, a regret that might follow him for life.

He was frozen by indecision.

After inwardly struggling for a long time, Nie Yan ultimately resolved to give up on becoming a Luminous Dancer. Asskickers United's development was simply too important compared to his personal matters.

"Priest Anisen... My deepest apologies, but I'll have to politely decline!" Nie Yan said through gritted teeth.

Stunned by the refusal, Anisen stopped the ritual.

"Youngster, are you really not willing to inherit God's glory? This is a supreme, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You will become a fabled Luminous Dancer, the existence closest to God," Anisen said with a look of disappointment. Never did he imagine that Nie Yan would refuse!

"Priest Anisen, I would love nothing more than to travel to the ancient past, to pursue God's tracks and receive His inheritance! However, I am a guild leader. I have too many people relying on me right now. I can't just abandon them in their time of need for my own selfish gain! Bound are our paths. So too our souls!" Nie Yan said with unwavering conviction.

Anisen's worried expression relaxed into a gentle smile. "So it is like this. No problem. Feel free to look for me when you have the time. Your willingness to sacrifice your own growth for the sake of your guild is truly admirable. The gates of the Temple of Light will always be open to you."

With a stunned look, Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief. The Luminous Dancer quest didn't disappear! It was fortunate it could be picked back up at a later time. If he forever lost the opportunity to become a Luminous Dancer, he would've definitely had regrets in his hearts. Now, however, he could put travelling together with Anisen to another world on hold until after he resolved pressing guild matters.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Priest Anisen," Nie Yan said in a grateful tone.

Anisen laughed. "Go, may the light be with you."

Nie Yan bid farewell to Anisen and was just about to leave, when he noticed 'Selfless' was added to his character page.

Nie Yan never expected to be rewarded for being willing to pass up the opportunity to become a Luminous Dancer for the sake of his guild. Selflessness was the willingness to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others. It was sublime virtue on part with the other four.

Brave, Just, Benevolent, Sincere, and Selfless... Nie Yan felt like he had seen these words somewhere before.

Beside information he was already familiar with, Nie Yan couldn't recall any clue even after racking his brains. However, he was certain he had seen these words somewhere before in his past life. Many of his memories would remain buried for the time being, until something triggered them.

Nie Yan could only set this mystery aside for now.

Nie Yan left the Temple of Light. Level 100 wasn't too far away. It was probably best for him to dedicate the next few days to levelling. After that, he would have to return to the Underworld and conduct his third trade. Making use of the Dark Portal to earn some gold would be beneficial to Asskickers United's growth.

...

Nisode.

Most recently, things in the city were quite hectic. The heated war between the War God Tribe and Tuoba Family was a great headache for all players, including those not affiliated to either guild. They were discussing the war every day.
