Lord Joyde The Madman: Heylo, everybody! How're you all doing!?

  As you all already know (provided that you even read my author notes), this chapter is written directly on RR.

  Which, since I'm not used to it, will most likely lead to a myriad of mistakes, cringeworthy grammar and the like.

  Especially bad tables await since I could not find a proper table-maker software...

  Here's to hope I don't lose it before the lemon starts.

  Anyways, here comes the next chapter of EUPHORIA! I sincerely hope that you enjoy, let us begin!

  Don't mind me guys and girls! I'm just a line break...

  A Few Minutes Later... - Rhean's Castle - Rhean's Point Of View...

  As soon as I logged it, I was barraged by what seemed to be an endless supply of blue screens... even if I hadn't been online for only a couple days.

  Ah screw it, a couple days is a long time for any game. Anyways, lets start reading them...

  Taking a look around myself before opening the notifications bar, I notice Yomi looking equally annoyed to my right."Hey, babe."

  The words left my mouth before I could stop myself and she turned towards me with a smile as we exchanged a kiss, which would have been deeper if...

  We grumbled and separated as Yomi sighed and clutched her head, the royal silken sheets of our bed following her hand as she let it fall from my cheek."Seems like we might as well do this first. Or else I think our plans might end up going awry."

  "Who knows, maybe something interesting happened during our time off." I muttered mostly to myself as Yomi chuckled."More interesting than the either of us?"

  Shrugging towards her, I opened the notifications bar.

  Oh? Another person worthy of Chaos' attention? Friend, or foe?

  Suppose I'll have to find out later.

  Chaos' influence has risen within Euphoria?

  Hmmm, this could mean a whole lot of things, but I guess its literal translation makes sense too.. It could be that Gaia is just messing with me, making it so I might reveal something vital by playing the game, making me feel safer while inside as she plucks Chaotic secrets from my brain. It could also be that Chaos has decided to throw an eye on this realm in order to protect me from that very event.

  "Aw what the hell?... Meh, honestly I deserve that. Still is gonna suck having to basically rehab myself to my own character." Yomi turned towards me as I muttered out in a semi-annoyed tone. She took one look at the blue screen in front of me and chuckled to herself.

  Ignoring her, I continued reading.

  Still, I gotta admit that Harold's been pretty busy balancing my character... not so sure I should be happy about that though.

  Okay... now this is one huge fucking blue screen. Honestly, its contents are giving me pause.

  It seems like Gaia is trying to make my ingame character posess the same powers that I have in real life, granted they're much stronger here, I think. Is she trying to make me unconsciously reveal my identity to the general public by making people connect the dots?.. I'll have to be careful about the way I use my powers. Both in here as well as in real life.

  "Show Status." Unable to help myself, I opened up my status screen just to see what my stats are like right now.

  Lucks going to be removed, eh?

  So after two years of development, they finally realized how bullshit that stat is... I mean, a noob wearing no armor could just randomly start dodging every single ability from several super-powered players at once, even those he/she didn't see coming. Those who max the luck stat are often called Jumpers and their favorite quote is; I'M NOT EVEN CONTROLLING MYSELF, LOL.

  Take a guess as to why. Luck in this game works in such a way that it forces you to do something you usually wouldn't, thus making it extremely annoying to anyone not staking their everything on said stat.

  Honestly though, I kinda like the new status screen.. seems a lot cleaner, but that may be because of all the ability crunching Harolds done to me while I wasn't online.

  Oh well, onto the next set of notification screens.

  What the fuck? Okay, that was quick... then again, I am getting stupidly high bonuses to growth and have goblins on my side.

  Doing as the screen suggested, I find the goverment tab, which was strangely tinted purple and selected Incerum, my current capital and only city in control.

  Thats a decent setup right there. Just the right amount of player-friendly facilities as well as those to suit the needs of my subjects.

  That said, I didn't expect The Black Cathedral to be counted as a facility much less an Outpost, though I suppose it does benefit the realm as a whole since its under my territorial control.

  "Show Empire resources." Taking a deep breath as Yomi gently nudged my side and kissing her again, I reply."Don't worry, I'll be finished soon."

  "I hope not." She joked with a grin as I turned back around with a smile on my face, contiuning to browse a seemingly endless stream of data...

  This is what I get for not logging on for a couple days, haa...

  Don't mind me guys and girls! I'm just a line break...

  Okay, I'm really sorry guys... I promised you all a lemon but I'm so damn tired from all these blue screens that I just don't have the will or the energy to do it now...

  I'll do it sometime soon. I mean, tomorrow or rather today and the day which follows after today are saturday and sunday, there is a decent chance that I might type it down later.

  But, as usual, don't hold me for my word. Worst case scenario? Within 12 days or you can proclaim me dead.

  Anyways, read and review! And Good Morning/Day/Night to you all! ADIOS FOR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
