Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Ibro didn't take long before he managed to destroy all the gates. The cultivators exploded into loud cheering after the destruction of the last gate. 

They had many extreme emotions; part of them went crazy yelling like mad, while others didn't move as they stood motionless in their places. 

Some cried some laughed, but all were happy and relieved. Ibro didn't interfere with their emotions, as it seemed they had lived through hell itself. 

Ibro gave the orders for his death knights to start plundering the battlefield. Here was the main camp of the demons, the most brutal battles, and the most number of casualties in one place. 

So, it was normal for his death knights to take nearly the whole day collecting the cores. The amount that was given to Ibro was nearly equal to the amount he gained from before. 

Maya was away from him all this time. She was trying to evade him. Ibro just shook his head from time to time. This girl was evading him but also spying on him all the time. 

He was also watching her through his system. He had a lot of things he wanted to know from her, but this wasn't the right time to ask her. 

He had an important issue he needed to solve, and this depended entirely on the data she would provide him with. After his death knights finished their task, Ibro then sent a message to her via the system telepathy divine ability.

'Come to me, It's time to go back.'

Ibro was able to move back to the game world in the same way he came in. 

That would cost him a lot of SPR orbs. Although his account was now full of orbs, as he gained massively from this war, he didn't want to spend a penny without good reason. 

Ibro now has over 1 million SPR orbs. Most of this came from the 1000 gates. He was thankful for these gates, without them he would have only 100k SPR orbs. 

While he was immersed in his calculations, Maya appeared in front of him. she wasn't alone, as she was surrounded by 10 of high-rank cultivators. 

Ibro didn't put them in the eye. If he wanted then none of them would stay alive.

"Tell your guards to stay back; this is a private talk between a man and his woman."

Maya's face turned red in an instant, but she regained her calm rapidly as she replied:

"They are my tru…"

Ibro didn't have time to this talk, so he interrupted her as he threatened:

"I don't want to waste time. if you don't follow my words, I don't mind destroying this little world of yours."

"Don't overestimate your power. You are in our world surrounded by our people."

Ibro looked at that cultivator with angry eyes. He didn't want to waste time here. He still had to search for the NPC that could help him. 

This lead was wrong, as Maya wasn't even part of this world. Maya mistook the look in Ibro's eyes as anger. She immediately stood in front of that cultivator as she ordered:

"I will come with you, but we need to discuss the terms of our relationship."

"What terms? You are my woman and there are no other terms except it."

"B…But… I…"

"Listen, little sweet queen, if you don't follow my words, I will leave here permanently. I won't kill your helpless dummy body; I will leave you alone for ages. You won't be able to cultivate without me. 

Your power will decline and eventually, you will look for me. But, the sad news is, I won't be here at all. So, it's now or never."

Ibro spoke these words then he turned around as he went towards the location of his skeleton's army. Since the day he started to summon these skeletons, he had never left an army behind. 

He would be glad to leave this army here if Maya decided to be reasonable and followed him. Having a mobile world with you that could hold hundreds of millions of skeletons and soldiers was a very useful trump card. 

It was a shame Maya refused his offer. Ibro then would use plan B. he would take these skeletons with him back to the game world. 

He would add them to his army. Just as he walked a few steps, Maya's voice came from behind:

"Stop, may we just negotiate?"

"…"

Ibro didn't even stop his steps, as he continued to move away. Just as he took another few steps, she called him again:

"Then can we negotiate about this world? I will follow you, but I need to keep my world secure under my rule."

Ibro stopped this time and said without turning to look to her:

"Come along then, I won't bite you. Let's have some serious chat while we are outside. I have no time to waste."

Maya hesitated for a second, but when Ibro was about to move on again, she made up her mind. She moved in rapid steps while ordering her guards via divine sense. Once she reached Ibro, she said to him:

"Now, I'm here. Can you tell me your final decision?"

Ibro looked at her. She was really beautiful. Ibro didn't talk but he first took out a small stone then gave it to her.

"Take this, when you eat it, you will be bound forever to me."

Maya hesitated before taking the stone. She glanced at it for a second before asking:

"What is this weird core? I never saw anything like this before."

Ibro sighed; this girl seemed to never see any civilization except cultivation. Ibro said with a short explanation:

"It will be in your dantian. I have another one in mine. They are connected, as mine is alpha and yours is omega. Now eat it then we can discuss."

Maya looked straight to him in the eyes while said seriously:

"I can swear an oath to heaven if you want to."

Ibro shook his head. Although he had her future cultivation path under his mercy by the dual cultivation technique, he wasn't sure about the future. 

His enemies were cunning and they proved more than once they had methods he couldn't imagine. He needed to secure himself from any possible threats.

"I don't mind an oath, but I trust myself more. Eat this stone and stop wasting time."

Ibro wasn't a cold person, but he was in a hurry. She didn't say a word again while she ate this omega stone. Once it entered her dantian, Ibro felt the connection between both of them. Ibro then said:

"We will discuss everything outside. Now, I will leave my skeletons army here. you can withdraw anything from your pocket space to the outside world as you wish, right?"

Maya wasn't sure of her dao companion personality. He sometimes looked nice then he was cold. She answered without delay:

"Yes, I can withdraw anything, even an army."

Ibro smiled wildly. That was the best scenario he imagined. He then ordered his death knights to lead the whole army and went to specific locations that had no presence of cultivators to be positioned there. 

Ibro regretted one thing only, the lack of any chance to upgrade this army here. There were no enemies to kill. He sighed; he couldn't get everything perfectly as he wanted.
