Chapter 1.
First encounters and farewells.
In the realm of the lord, within the borders of the Chinese region, lies Chinatown.
Nestled at the frontier of Yujo, this quaint settlement is under the jurisdiction of the Blade Corps, a community forged by players.
The town's mayor, Lin Nuanu, also serves as the squad leader of the Blade Corps, renowned for her beauty throughout the Legion.
Today, she awaits the arrival of a new recruit.

Upon returning to her office, she meticulously cleansed herself of the blood and sweat from battle and dawned her professional uniform.
In this lordly world, her outfit is categorized as fashion, enhancing her administrative attributes.
Seated at her desk, she gently massaged her feet to alleviate the fatigue from the recent skirmish.
On her table rested a pot of brewed tea accompanied by personnel transfer documents that had just arrived.

She extracted one of the personnel files and opened it.

Among 9,391 recruits, ranked 1,196.
Lore training results, qualified, past.
Pages 2 to nine contained further details, which she perused swiftly.
The rookie, Sue Gene, had arrived in this world 6 months prior, graduated from the recruit camp, and subsequently joined the blade corps.
He had completed a three-month lord training program under the core and emerged as a prospective lord, now assigned to Linuan to establish a new territory.
During his rookie phase, he would not earn experience, thus remaining at level zero.
His attributes totaled 18 points, placing him above average among novice players, particularly excelling in physique.
The talent tender-heartedness, previously unseen, bore an Aclass rating, indicative of its quality.
Judging by its description, it seemed particularly suited for collaboration with aesthetically pleasing women.
While she contemplated the file, a knock echoed at the door.
Please come in, Linuan dawn her high heels.
A striking figure entered her subordinate, Zhu Ting.
Today, Zhu Ting was not clad in armor.
Instead, she wore an ensemble of collegiate style, a short-sleeved white shirt, a plaid pleated skirt, white kneeh high stockings, and low heeled leather shoes.
Moreover, she wore a light, fresh makeup, and her hair was neatly tied in a single ponytail.
She radiated youthfulness and charm.
"Oh," Lindanu exclaimed, "What's the occasion? Are you dressing up so beautifully for a date?" Zhuing shook her head with a smile.
"No, Captain, have you reviewed Sue Jeans information?" Yes, I'm currently examining it.
Is there any issue? Zhu Ting inquired.
The information is fine, but I sense something a miss with you.
Pretel, what is going on? Lin Nuanu<unk>s curiosity began to ignite.
Sujene is a senior from my recruit camp.
As I mentioned before, he is here to report today and I wanted to look a bit more formal.
He has arrived.
Shall I bring him in? Zhu Ting asked a hint of shyness in her demeanor.
Linuan smiled clearly.
She had made an effort to impress Sujene.
Ah, that explains it.
Do let him in.
Lin Nuan Yu encouraged.
Zhuing responded promptly, dashing out.
Sujene and Zhu Ting shared the same instructor in the recruit camp, rendering them comrades.
Zhu Ting<unk>s calling Su Jene senior was quite fitting within the context of this ancient world.
Once Zhu Ting faced a significant crisis, and Sujene selflessly expended his resources to his sister.
This however resulted in a slowdown in his subsequent development, ultimately affecting his performance in the final recruit tests.
Given Sue Jean's capabilities, placing within the top 100 was well within reach, and he could have even contended for a position in the top 50, earning substantial graduation rewards.
Yet now, Su Jeene had received only the standard recruit reward.
Zhu Ting felt immense gratitude towards Su Jeene, coupled with a sense of guilt.
The outcomes of the recruit evaluations and rewards held minimal impact on a player's future development.
Nonetheless, good character was something valued by all.
After all, in this world, trustworthy teammates were a rare find.
Soon, Zhuing returned with Sue Gene and tow.
"Captain, he has arrived," she announced, followed by a young man.
He had an unremarkable appearance.
Yet, there was an underlying charm.
With short hair and an average build, he wore a set of recruit leather armor, a steel dagger hanging from his waist.
The evident wear on the armor and dagger suggested they were nearing the end of their durability.
Sugene, adopting a serious demeanor, addressed her.
Hello, Captain Lynn.
I am Sugene, a recruit from 137th cohort here to report.
Lynn Nanu set aside her documents and rose to greet him.
Welcome.
It must be quite warm on your journey.
Do wipe the sweat.
She offered Sue Jean a damp towel.
Thank you, Captain Lynn.
He stammered slightly before accepting the towel.
Lin Noanu<unk>s beauty exceeded his expectations.
Sujene had initially thought Zhu Ting was the pinnacle of attractiveness.
He had not anticipated Lin Nuanu to represent an entirely different standard of allure.
with phoenix-like eyes, crimson lips, and gently curled black hair cascading to her waist.
Her slender waist, and long legs were captivating.
Dressed in a tailored white blouse, a black pencil skirt, sheer black stockings, and delicate high heels.
