Mage Manual

Focused on chatting, they didn’t pay attention to the scenery along the way, seeing all kinds of cute dolls and classic movie characters greeting visitors by the roadside. World Film City features fantasy works coming into reality, but except for Siflin and Freyja, no one else has really watched the fantasy works of Kingdom of Blood Moon. However, fantasy characters are inherently charming, cool, or beautiful, and Diya and her friends can enjoy themselves among them.

Before officially entering the park, they first entered a gigantic theater. According to the order, they sat in the front row of the audience seats, confused, thinking it was the first performance to watch. But as the lights lit up, they quickly realized this theater was not for watching but for participating.

"They are free birds! They are extreme villains! They escape from prison just to enter a bigger prison, and then burn everything to ashes!"

As the narration sounded, three visitors dressed in death row inmate costumes crossed the stage, stumbling awkwardly reading the lines on their scripts, but their expressions were very excited. They loudly proclaimed, "Damn Blood Frenzy Hunters, remember this, I’ll definitely come back for revenge! When that time comes, it will be your turn to face the Blood Moon Judgement!"

Then the stage suddenly lit up with red light, as if the Blood Moon descended, a resonant voice echoed through the theater: "Blood Frenzy Hunters are tracking wanted criminals no. 9, 10, 11 in ’Inverted World’, ’Unlimited Invade’, ’Midnight Ghost Walk’, if they escape, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"Is this...?" Diya was unsure: "Role-playing?"

"Pretty much, every visitor can choose a script for role-playing before officially entering the park." Siflin explained, "Like they chose the death row inmate role from the ’Leap over Shattered Lake’ script. Besides role-playing, they also get fast access permission for three rides. But as a price, they’ll be chased by players chosen as Blood Frenzy Hunters... Though it’s called chasing, it’s actually just playing games. Blood Frenzy Hunters can initiate challenges from a distance when they see them, and if both parties agree, they can play various competitive games. If the challenge is declined, it’s considered a victory for the Blood Frenzy Hunters, and the winners earn points, which can be exchanged for prizes."

"Because competitive games are very interesting, it’s said that the worst way to experience World Film City is to accept challenges right at the park entrance, only to unknowingly spend the entire day playing competitive games with strangers and not experiencing a single ride."

"That’s quite interesting." Weiser commented: "By distributing camps to increase interactions between visitors, instead of just relying on attractions to attract visitors... No wonder there are so many visitors even on weekdays."

Just then, a second batch of visitors appeared, who happened to choose the Blood Frenzy Hunter camp. They were indeed wearing the Blood Frenzy Hunter uniforms, and someone was even portraying the image of the white-haired Hunter Gerard.

Sonia suddenly asked, "Doesn’t this ’Leap over Shattered Lake’ script look familiar..."

Siflin and Freyja both looked at Ash, and it took Ash a few seconds to react, "My prison escape was adapted into a script?"

"It’s even so popular that it could compete for the annual best series, albeit losing to ’100% Mage’." Freyja analyzed seriously, "I think it’s very normal. Not only did the dialogues fall short compared to 100% Mage, but the male protagonist isn’t as handsome as you. Just based on this, I wouldn’t vote for it."

Felix asked, "Freyja, is there anyone in your mind more handsome than Ash?"

"No such person exists!" Freyja’s eyes bubbled with hearts: "Ash transcends everything, is the color that God paints on all things!"

Ash trembled slightly, showing a conditioned response to Meiwa’s praise.

Sonia curiously asked, "Does the male protagonist of ’Leap over Shattered Lake’ have a romance plot?"

"Yes, and it’s threefold!" Freyja raised three fingers: "One is a female Medical Practitioner in prison, another is a handsome and aloof blonde male prison mate, and the last is a cute and caring dark-skinned male prison mate. Before the finale, the studio let everyone vote to choose a romance line, besides the three individual lines, there’s an all-inclusive harem line, and the result of everyone’s vote was—"

Ash immediately surrendered: "Stop, don’t tell me the ending of this series! If I became the Supreme of Magic, I’d erase this series from the timeline immediately!"

At this time, staff quietly invited them to enter the backstage. Everyone was quite open to role-playing, and Diya eagerly asked, "What script roles can we choose?"

"This is chosen when booking the ticket, with costumes prepared in advance." Siflin said, "Ash has already chosen."

Ash blinked his eyes, looking bewildered: "Did I choose?"

"I asked you what script you chose—you picked one!"

"I have no memory of that, when did you ask me?"

"Just after taking a shower..."

"At that time, even if you said Lalafey could be the Supreme of Magic, I’d nod. You actually plotted against me when I had no judgment ability!"

Sonia’s mouth twitched: "What are you all doing..."

Ash clasped his hands together and apologized: "I don’t know what I chose either. You guys go in first, check out if you find the outfits nice or not, if not, we’ll give up role-playing and just enjoy the park normally."

"Doesn’t matter, I’m used to it." Vishi shrugged: "Anyway, Master, you’re always this unreliable."

"Exactly."

"Good for nothing aside from kissing and cuddling!"

Freyja argued: "Actually, Ash is quite good at eating too!"

Ash’s face grew darker with each word, "Alright, alright, let’s get into the changing room!"

Siflin gestured for the four Sword Maidens to follow her. Diya complained: "I wanted to choose a role like Princess, but dad really is..."

Sonia laughed: "You’ve been the Empress for so long, how do you still want to be a Princess? I’m curious if there’s a role like a nun available, seems like he was a bit tempted after seeing Siflin’s senior last night."

"Good idea, Vishi, you and I should both change into nun outfits." Weiser laughed: "Anyway, our clothes can transform however we want."

"Boring." Vishi curled her lips, "I don’t want to change clothes just to please him."

Siflin snapped her fingers, signaling the staff in the dressing room to leave. Then she walked over to the four cabinets at the very back and said, "These are the roles Ash chose for you, and even the outfits were personally prepared by him."

Sonia and the others blinked, thinking this explanation was different from before. But when Siflin opened the wardrobe doors, all their doubts vanished instantly, and the four Demigods stood dumbfounded.

On the other side, Ash changed into the white tailcoat and came out. Felix came over to smooth out the wrinkles on his clothes and straighten his collar, suddenly asking, "Don’t you think it’s a bit wasteful? You could clearly save it for the future."

Ash paused, then shook his head and smiled, "Not wasteful. If we still have a future, then I’ll prepare something even better for them in the future."

"How can someone be both sincere and such a scoundrel..." Felix sighed, pushed his strands of hair behind his ear, took a step back, and said, "Go."

Ash looked at her and suddenly said, "Felix, there’s something on your eyes, close them for a moment."

"Huh?"

"Close your eyes."

Felix’s lips trembled, her mind went blank, and she could only obediently close her eyes. She felt her chin being lifted, her breath instinctively quickened, and then...

Her forehead was kissed.

"All done," Ash smiled, "Everything’s okay now."

Felix touched her forehead, stared blankly at Ash as he went to Freyja for the ring and cue card, her gaze trailing his back until he walked onto the stage.

"Jealous?" Freyja came over and asked with a smile.

"I..." Felix instinctively wanted to refute, but halfway through, her voice softened, "...am not."

She retorted, "If you’re jealous, Freyja, why are you still helping him plan?"

"Because he likes it." Meiwa laughed, "Watching him embrace happiness, I feel happy too."

Miss Vosloda watched this silly, lovestruck Meiwa and couldn’t help but sigh, "If only I could be as simple-minded as you..."

"Come on, let’s go to the audience seats and watch." Freyja dragged her hand out, "Next time you want to see this scene, it might have to be in Heaven."

As Ash walked onto the stage, this person who had once fought alongside the Supreme Star, defeated the Divine Lord with a ruined Angel, felt unexpectedly nervous, apprehensive like a young man on his first date.

The frequent visitors of World Film City immediately noticed something different, "New clothes, could it be new script roles?"

At the same time, the theater echoed with a cheerful narration:

"They are companions who transcended life and death! They are true love entangled in passion and hate! After enduring countless trials, they reach the final act, and in this moment, they should sound the bell of happiness!"

As the solemn bell echoed through the theater, all excessive lights vanished instantly, leaving only two spotlights. The theater turned utterly silent, everyone remained seated, completely captivated by the beauty on stage.

Even Ash was no exception.

He watched as the Bride Sword Maiden wearing a white veil walked step by step towards him, raised her white satin gloves to lift the veil, revealing a smile that was equally charming and joyful. Each eyelash curved at the same angle, her large, beautiful eyes fluttered, her face was blushing, and her lips sparkled with starlight, looking so soft they were nearly sweet.

Her lips slightly curled up, a hint of allure flowing through her brows, just being gazed at like this, all of Ash’s worries vanished, and he felt happiness that was close to melting like ice cream, even if Uroboros suddenly devoured the world at this moment and time froze, he’d be willing.

Before the end, pulling off the "Bride Series," it really was wonderful.

Next, follow the ritual to complete this little drama, and he could settle all regrets.

Ash lowered his head to look at the cue card, finding only one sentence:

"I do."

He was stunned, looked up at Sonia in front of him, who pressed her lips tightly and squeezed the cue card, her expression both laughing and angry as she stared at him.

"Next is the bride’s vow reading during the proposal."

Eh!? Isn’t it supposed to be my proposal?
