Chapter 252: The King of Drama
Chapter 252: The King of Drama
【Name: The King of Drama (Puppet, Imagination, Realm)】
【Appearance: The current appearance is that of a middle-aged man with meticulous and elegant attire, often seen wearing a tall top hat, and a slightly fatigued expression. He introduces himself as the great playwright, Wilde, frequently spotted backstage at the Morning Star Theatre.】
【Ability: Soul Puppet, Imaginative Will, Drama Realm】
【Cost: The user of this anomaly must possess an unparalleled love for drama. When the user's passion wanes, their soul will be replaced by the King of Drama, and its appearance will also undergo corresponding changes.】
【File: As the twelfth user of the King of Drama, and the greatest one, Master Wilde's love for drama never faded but grew stronger as he witnessed the real world during his tours.
Regrettably, even though his soul remained fervent, his weary and fragile body cooled down three years ago, unexpectedly triggering the replacement effect of the King of Drama.
After Master Wilde's true soul departed, the "King of Drama" that replaced him lacked the corresponding artistic skill and failed to find a new user with greater passion than Master Wilde.
Thus, the "King of Drama" could only follow Master Wilde's last wishes, striving to complete his unfinished script and continuing the Morning Star Theatre's world tour.
However, with the decline in the new play's popularity and the constant changes in the Morning Star Theatre's members, the self-proclaimed "King of Drama" found it increasingly challenging to accept these changes, eventually reaching the brink of complete loss of control...】
【Evaluation: Great criminals and great artists share a common trait: they dislike the world as it is. For art that can change the world, the creator becomes the sole ruler of it.】
【Corrosion Value: 16】
【Through your own observations and inductions, you obtained a vast amount of intelligence about the "King of Drama," activating the anomalous badge "Materialistic Soul (Crimson)."
Understanding the rules and effects of the "King of Drama" significantly increased your resistance to this anomaly, and you are now able to shield yourself from deeper levels of influence.】
...
So, it's an anomaly that went berserk after losing its user... Speaking of which, its Corrosion Value is genuinely high, equivalent to two mutton chunks from the Black Sheep. It seems like my troubles this time might not be minor.
With the resistance provided by 【Materialism】, Li Muo·Ang, having removed the transparent thread tied to his forehead, regained his free will and stretched his limbs. He then surveyed the incredibly realistic seaside town before him.
Upon seeing the words "City of Enthusiasm and Ocean Waves, Ankara" on the pier's signboard, Leon's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
If his memory served him right, this should be the setting for the plot of "The Twelve-Day Tour," where the male lead, Elijah, would come to unwind at the tavern and encounter the voluptuous and beautiful waitress, Agatha. Then, a romantic love story filled with twists and turns would unfold.
So... I've been thrown into one of Master Wilde's scripts? Becoming one of the "actors"?
At this thought, Leon hesitated slightly. Instead of relying solely on the resistance provided by 【Materialism】 to remove all the threads from his body, he chose to retain a portion of them.
Elder Emma had once told him that for this type of "Realm" anomaly, unless Leon's value exceeded the user's by more than one fold, it was almost impossible to break free solely through brute force. At his current level, he couldn't escape.
According to Elder Emma, the only "solution" for this type of anomaly was to eliminate the user before they took action; otherwise, one could only follow the "rules" of their realm.
From the intelligence gathered from The King of Drama, the core rule of this Drama Realm is undoubtedly "Drama." As someone unfamiliar with The Twelve-Day Tour, I should probably not rush to remove all the threads attached to me, as there might be a use for them.
Additionally, after being transformed into a puppet, my strength has been greatly weakened, and I've lost contact with Yuhua. Whether it's the sniper rifle or other anomalies, I can't bring them out in the Mirror World. Although the Holy Spirit Pendant I wear is still with me, its effects have been significantly suppressed...
At this thought, Leon controlled the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant and made a shallow cut on his arm. Seeing that his body could still heal, albeit at a much slower pace, Leon couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
The good news is that the Lamb Heart is still usable.
Although The King of Drama's ability can affect souls and bypass the Lamb Heart's protection, it's unlikely to cause soul injuries as its effect is categorized as "manipulation" rather than "lethal." My safety is somewhat guaranteed.
So, what I need to do next is to avoid touching the "drama rules" as much as possible, find the Princess who has also been pulled into this realm, and ensure her safety and that of others affected. Then, I can figure out how to deal with the out-of-control King of Drama and complete the cleanup of this sudden anomaly incident... Hmm?
Feeling a clear pulling force from the threads tied to his body, Leon quickly relaxed and followed the pull, walking forward along the road.
Is the "plot" starting? Do I need to participate in it?
Leon slightly lowered his head, guessing what had happened, and glanced at his attire.
The shiny leather shoes with fake heels, tight pants adorned with small metal plates, a strange suit made of some printed fabric in an eye-catching color, along with mismatched small accessories on the cuffs and collar, and a bright yellow, waxed-back hairstyle...
Speaking of which, this bizarre getup made me look more like a mentally disturbed peacock than a person.
So, in the Drama Realm, my "character" is a clown? Leon couldn't help but frown, and a "subway, old man, and phone" expression appeared on his face uncontrollably. He then allowed the threads to control him and wandered towards the pier tavern where the male and female leads met.
Oh well, if I'm a clown, so be it!
Compared to playing a specific role, the most important thing right now is to go to where the "plot" is unfolding and quickly find the Princess to ensure her safety.
...
Soon, Leon's character strolled into the tavern where the plot began, with the distinctive swagger of "Laozi." He plopped down at a table by the window.
Immediately, a waitress with a full and voluptuous figure, a name tag on her chest, and a butterfly-like gait approached, asking with a smile:
"Mr. Joseph, what would you like to drink today?"
"... "
Me?
After glancing at the name tag on her chest, Leon recognized her immediately, despite the significant changes in her appearance and demeanor. The waitress before him was undoubtedly the Princess he was looking for.
And to make matters worse...
"Agatha..."
After reading the name on her name tag, Leon couldn't help but blink in utter disbelief.
Damn, we've only been apart for five minutes, and I've become a crazy yellow-haired guy, while you've become the main female lead?
