Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Maya stayed inside the lord mansion for couple of hours immersed in her own thoughts about the future plans here. This world was devoid of any source she could exploit any cultivators from. 

Although this village was unique and had some value in providing new blood, she wasn't used to this pattern of life. She was used to sects, academies, rogue cultivators, and secluded cultivators. 

As she was thinking of ways to solve this problem, she felt sudden fluctuations nearby to make her focus again in the place around her. She was still sitting on the main chair here, but these fluctuations came from a place a couple of meters to the side. 

She looked towards that place with great focus, as there was nothing there. All of a sudden, an electric current appeared magically from nowhere, it began like a tiny spark which got bigger and stronger every second. 

In less than one minute, a two meters radius electric cloud appeared in front of her. Maya probed this place with her divine sense, to find it getting absorbed and disappeared as if it was a drop of water entering an ocean. 

Maya felt weird, but before she could think of a way to explore this cloud, a man suddenly popped up in front of her. She didn't hesitate to take out her sword and move with unequal speed to put the sword over this man's neck while saying coldly:

"If you did any move, I will kill you."

The man's face turned pale at once. he was a cultivator who was still at nascent soul stage, so he wasn't an opponent for someone vulnerable to him like Maya, so he hurried to identify himself:

"Don't kill me; I'm Drole, the main representative of our academy dean master."

Maya felt some familiarity with these words, as she recalled one time when Ibro talked about the past of establishing his village. she asked to confirm her guess:

"What's the name of this dean master of yours?"

Drole didn't dare to risk his life here, so he rushed to reply:

"His name is Erond, and he is the dean master of our heavenly tower academy. We are subjects of king Ibro, and I must speak with king Ibro at once as there is a disaster in our world."

Maya found his words reliable, but she didn't move the sword away, instead she sent for one of her aides to search for Rinobak. 

Her cultivator moved out towards the place she told him about, and after a couple of minutes he returned with Rinobak beside him. Once Rinobak entered the palace and saw this scene, his eyes were attracted towards this cloud of lightning in the place, where he muttered:

"Oh, the teleportation portal of my king has returned to work again, that's good news, no that's great news."

Maya's attention was attracted spontaneously towards his words, as she asked to confirm this matter:

"Do you know this cloud? Do you know this person?"

"I know this cloud, as our beloved king established it long time ago when he established the village here. He once told me it's linked with another cultivator world. This person is the first time for me to meet, but he must have come from that world."

Maya looked again towards that cultivator as she asked without moving the sword away from the nape of his neck:

"You said you have a message to Ibro, spill it out now."

Drole was hesitant to speak, but Rinobak decided to help him out as he interfered by saying:

"You can tell the lady here, as she is the dao companion of our king."

Drole looked towards Maya in disbelief, as he didn't think this beautiful brutal sword cultivator was the dao companion of his king. He hurried to apologize:

"I'm sorry my lady, I didn't recognize you."

"No problem, now speak," Maya said.

"When king Ibro visited our academy a few months ago, he had some conflicts with some esteemed cultivators in our world. They are sect leaders and some academies deans, and they didn't forget this conflict. 

Although our dean master had sent for many requests for alliances to them, they refused and persisted on their hostile attitude. 

Our dean master gathered many of our elites in the academy and made them come here to this higher world, and many cultivators began to flood the academy waiting to come here. 

When we tried to move them into here, we failed, as the teleportation cloud between our world and here wasn't functioning for unknown reasons. After some time, many of the cultivators who came to the academy were misled by some ill rumors and left the academy in patches. 

Couple of days ago, those esteemed cultivators from before suddenly began to organize a huge move against our academy as they set the goal of destroying the academy as their top priority. 

They started to spread rumors about the academy and our king Ibro, as they tried to tarnish our reputation and turn everyone against us. Few hours ago I felt the fluctuations of the teleportation cloud, so I came as fast as I could to check it and was excited to find it had regained its activity again. 

I came here to notify king Ibro of these developments, and ask for his further advice towards what to do."

Maya removed her sword from the neck of this young cultivator as she headed back to her chair. She sat on it with a rapidly beating heart, a huge world full of sects, cultivators, and academies was like home to her. 

Conquering such a world wasn't a hard quest, especially when she thought of her own card inside her world. She smiled, smiled widely with obvious joy in contrast to what Rinobak and Drole thought. 

They both thought she would be extremely angry and would be very dangerous to deal with her wrath right now. Maya noticed the weird looks over both men faces, so she regained her composure before ordering:

"Rinobak, you will take control of the village here. when my cultivators come from outside, you keep them here for defending the village. if anything new occurred, send someone to look for me in that world."

"Rinobak bowed to her as he replied:

"I will do my best to keep the village safe, but may I ask what do you plan to do with this huge problem in this world? Do you need for me to send a word for our armies out there?"

Maya knew he was referring to the defending army at the small entrance of the basin. She smiled as she replied while walking towards the cloud:

"No need, I have all the armies I need. Drole, come with me now, we have a war to wage."
