After bidding farewell to that utterly useless idiot Gao Lanlan and that boring Blue Star, Annie did not bother to care whether they and those Orks could survive and thrive in that awful universe. She simply ran off and came to this new world to continue wandering around, sightseeing, and eating to her heart's content.
This world seemed to have once been projected into certain planar worlds and existed as a game. Queen Annie seemed to have encountered it before—in that world called Ready Player One or something?
But back then, it had been a game world. Much of it had been boring and unreal, with nothing but fighting and killing, while the NPCs were not very intelligent either. So she had not played it for long.
She had even forgotten exactly what content and gameplay it had.
Fortunately, she had no desire to dwell on such minor details. Now that she had arrived here, she began having fun in this island port city of the Kingdom of Enroth, on the continent of Enroth.
This was a real world, not one of those game worlds with obvious artificial traces, so naturally, Annie planned to explore it properly.
The city she was currently in, apparently called "Castle Ironfist," lay in the northwestern corner of Enroth. Surrounded by rivers and facing the sea to the west, it could only be reached by ship or by portal magic. It was a major metropolis that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as well as a flourishing commercial hub.
