I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

—— The season was early autumn.

The scenery around was half green and half yellow, revealing the bleakness of autumn, yet the air was crisp, dry, and chilly.

Countless thorny vines grew along the castle walls, dense and tangled, casting mottled, rust-like colors in the sunlight.

Tan Xiao reached out and picked at the rough exterior of the plant. It was really hard, and spiny as well; climbing out using the vines was nearly impossible.

After he walked into the beam of light, it didn’t take long for him to get here. Then, two pieces of information automatically surfaced in his mind:

[Quest: Retrieve the King’s sword.]

[Rules: No killing.]

Tan Xiao, of course, knew he had to find the sword, but the place was so vast, where to start looking? Where were the others?

He looked around. The place was like an abandoned castle, with a vast garden and towering turrets. Some paths were taken over by the thorny vines. Originally, he wanted to climb up high to get a clear view, but the prickling here and there, hedgehog-like, made it impossible to step anywhere.
