But Liu Zhi's confidence didn't last long. Soon, players began arriving one after another, and every one of them had some kind of connection to Sadako.
One was a level 13 Necromancer, the first player to get involved in Sadako's murder spree.
According to the Necromancer, he'd been not even level 5 at the time, while Sadako, despite it being her first murder, had already surpassed level 5.
What's more, Sadako's first appearance had been far more terrifying than anyone could imagine.
The Necromancer had nearly been scared to death. For a while afterward, he'd even wondered whether he was cut out to be a Necromancer.
Later, with no other path available to him, the Necromancer returned to this world and challenged Sadako again.
He'd been level 6 by then, with at least a little strength to his name. During his fight with Sadako, he saw her face.
And that was that.
The Necromancer became a thoroughly committed Necromancer. His goal was to follow the Ghost Mage path and transform himself into something akin to a ghost.
It was plain to see that the Necromancer had a bit of a crush on Sadako.
But his little infatuation wasn't doing him any good.
Compared with the Paladin from before, the Necromancer's strength was nowhere near as impressive.
The Paladin had reached level 14, then started training all over again. He was already level 10 now, and Liu Zhi could tell that the Paladin possessed a great deal of divinity.
Once he reached level 14 again, taking that next step would be easy for him.
But it was obvious at a glance that the Necromancer was destined to be cannon fodder.
He'd been below level 5 when he first met Sadako. By the time he started pursuing her, he'd reached level 6.
