Well, I'd say that the only important caveat is that people shouldn't live the way they want to live if that way involves hurting or making others miserable, but yes, it is quite important for people to be true to themselves. Of course, there were always exceptions to the rules and Cleo wasn't...

Well that was something interesting to know. Structures and objects created using certain acts of magic could be made to be permanent if the user wished for them to be. By the sounds of things, it was a very real possibility for somebody to make a life for themselves within the game, which...

Well that was news to her, that the players had taken an entire region and created their own city, seemingly to protect the rights of elves or something? It was odd that people who were humans themselves in reality would take the side of a non-human people, but she supposed that there was still...

It truly is quite hard to understand why they would create the UI lock when they had a game that would have been such an impossible success that their names would have gone down in the history books. She could not think of any good reason for a system that killed the player and locked them into...

Why did the druid have to make flirtatious remarks at every passing opportunity that presented itself? Cleo hummed, listening to the girl and taking the compliment without thanks or complaint, instead choosing to listen to Vina's understanding of the mature mode feature and what it even did...

Ah well, that was at least some new information: The ability to appear nude and such was an option that had to be toggled on. What on earth was the reasoning behind that, in a game that killed people? It wasn't like they were scared of having their game banned or censored for nudity of all...

So allowing the body to remain behind asleep was really just a feature that was included for immersion? She couldn't hear, from the explanation given, any real reason that anybody would actually do that, so it did make sense that most players just chose not to. After all, it probably wasn't all...

Cleo had definitely been shocked to find that she shared acquaintance with Vina with somebody, though it was a pleasant surprise at the very least. This would make it a bit easier to grow her list of sources, if she could manage to get along with Fina, though Vina seemed quite convinced that...

With a gesture of the druidess' hand, Vina's clothes vanished and the woman was left there nude, leaving Cleo momentarily stunned at just how bold this stranger was, before she decided to politely look away. She had no way of knowing if the girl had modified her avatar much, but on the off...

The fact that Travelers, what she was assuming was the term used by the NPCs to reference players, rarely ever paid for beds did at least make her feel like most people didn't need to sleep in the game and just logged out, which also made her think that a player's avatar vanished whenever they...

Well it made sense that the identities wasn't known amongst the playerbase, but Cleo could still admit to feeling a little disappointed that she hadn't just managed to stumble onto some kind of overlooked clue or source of information. That kind of stuff happened all the time in crime novels...

Well that will be quite difficult considering that nobody seems to even know who the developers are, or where the game was made in the first place? That's one of the biggest mysteries about Terrasphere, isn't it? As far as she'd been briefed, knowledge about the developers was basically...

Spending a lot of her time around the starting areas was a pretty common thing for Cleo, who felt like a beginner herself, yet also felt a responsibility to make sure that beginners didn't get hurt, for many different reasons. Her run ins with different wildlife had already done enough to...

Ah, the good old 'pretend complete ignorance' response to being confronted with information that the person was so certain was a secret that only they were in the know about. The clutching of the crossbow was a concern, it reminded her of times suspects had reached for guns or knives in the...

Too much was adding up for her to ignore it, or try to reason away that it was all just a coincidence anymore. This was somebody that had been lost in the real world, alive in the game, wandering around and even talking to her. For a minute, a spike of dread lanced through Cleo as the cold...

It definitely was quite easy to forget that everything in the game was coded and programmed, which was perhaps what the coders and programmers wanted to happen. Was that the whole point of Terrasphere? To create a world that was so real that people began to abandon the actual reality for it? In...

She wouldn't need help carrying the man, but the offer for help was appreciated nonetheless. At least, being willing to offer aid like that helped show that the druidess wasn't the type of person to just leave a job half done or to leave a task to somebody else when she herself was more than...

Well, it definitely helped that she was used to being landed in stressful situations at times, so that specific part of her training had kicked in and she was right back in the zone. In a way, it was quite similar from facing down criminals with knives, or being stuck in a gun fight with a...

Spreading the word about overhunting probably was the only thing that they could actually do, which did leave something of a sour taste in Cleo's mouth, but it was far from being a situation that was uncommon in her life. All too often in law enforcement she found that her only option of...

When all was said and done, it was actually quite disgusting to see what her attack had actually done to the attacking wolves. Usually such sights were a horror, something that only soldiers trapped in war had to see. The creatures were mangled and shredded where they'd been hit by her attack...
