"This is just cheating!"

"Violanda, the Master Alchemist, has gone too far!"

At that moment, the world channel erupted in chaos.

The alchemist was sending women to Eirik, and not just any women—beautiful ones, a whole crowd of them! What man could resist such temptation? And Eirik was just a boy! Was this really okay?

Suddenly, many felt compelled to confront the alchemist and rescue Eirik. It wasn't just her anymore; it was an army of stunning maidens. This was utterly unreasonable!

"I'm so furious! Maybe we should just ban Eirik; he's disrupting the game!" Some were consumed with jealousy—if they couldn't have him, why should anyone else? They wanted to ruin him!

"Do you think that's useful? Why don't you go bite the Master Alchemist and tell her to stop sending Eirik women!"

"Ah! Master Alchemist, if you're sending beauties, pick me! I'm a beauty too!"

Ridiculous comments flooded in.

"Stop being irrational! I trust Eirik's character; he would never indulge in such base pleasures!"

"How can he resist? He's a Gold Card ! He can handle it!" Some silently prayed, hoping Eirik would reject the Master Alchemist's advances.

*【Please tell the Giant General to inform the Master Alchemist that I'm focused on studying magic and not interested in women.】*

Eirik coughed lightly, responding. Sure, he liked beautiful women, but these maidens? Just NPCs—what was the point? They were purely a distraction from his magic studies. Besides, his wives Pixie and Elvynna were watching; indulging in a harem felt shameful.

If only this were a single-player game!

And now that he thought about it, was the Master Alchemist trying to treat him like a stud? After all, in his last simulation, his son was a master of all elements. Maybe she wanted him to create another super family...

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"I can't accept such insidious intentions!" Eirik thought, feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

*【Your integrity is commendable, young friend!】*

The Giant General looked at Eirik with newfound respect. They often say youth should guard against temptation, as many can't resist it. Yet here was Eirik, effortlessly rejecting those stunning maidens. His resolve was extraordinary!

"Rejected?!"

"Eirik, you did great!"

"Fantastic, fantastic!"

As Eirik turned down the alchemist's lavish gift, the world channel erupted in joy. Many sighed in relief. Yet, even with Eirik's rejection, the pressure from the Master Alchemist's gift hadn’t diminished.

Violanda’s appearance was one thing, but her intentions were beyond anyone’s imagination, leaving the maidens feeling utterly powerless and inferior.

"Does Violanda really value this dog of a man so highly?"

"Is this Gold Card really that impressive?"

Many lamented.

"Violanda!"

Pixie was seething. She had suffered in her past life because of her and now, in this simulation, she was stealing him again—too much!

"Miss, are you alright?"

One of her maids entered the room, alarmed by the noise. She found her mistress biting into a stuffed toy, gnashing her teeth as if it were a bitter enemy.

"Don't mind me! I'm just thinking of someone annoying!"

The maid quickly left, not wanting to provoke her. Inside, she was puzzled by her mistress's strange behavior—was she going mad from studying magic?

"Eirik, will being with this alchemist really be better?"

Elvynna sighed, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She had hoped to rekindle their bond, but now it seemed her husband had found a better option.

"Maybe I should be the one to step aside."

Elvynna felt despondent. If Pixie were her rival, she could still compete, but against Violanda...

In terms of beauty, strength, and status, she was outmatched. The scale of the alchemist's offers made her feel utterly insignificant.

"If only my Regal Bone of the Ancients were still around, maybe I could hold my own against her. But now..."

Elvynna forced a bittersweet smile, feeling out of place in the crowd.

Meanwhile, Eirik was focused on discovering the Master Alchemist's third gift. Just then, he heard a commotion in the sky!

A magnificent winged steed, crackling with lightning, descended from above! Behind it was a stunning chariot, hovering in midair, as a delicate arm lifted the curtain.

Out stepped a breathtaking woman, exuding both chill and allure—she seemed less like a mere mortal and more like a celestial queen gracing the earth.

As Violanda appeared, the previously dazzling maidens instantly paled in comparison, like wildflowers overshadowed by the moon.

Could this third gift be the alchemist herself? That would be a true showstopper. Eirik mused.

Players in the world channel were buzzing with speculation.

"Seriously? The Master Alchemist wouldn’t be so shameless as to offer herself as a gift to a commoner!"

"She’s second only to the gods! Surely she wouldn’t stoop that low!"

"If she does, I’ll be utterly impressed!"

Coughing, the truth was everyone was overthinking it. Violanda had stated she wasn't interested in Eirik for anything but his potential.

*【Eirik, my dear friend, my third gift to you is the title of Grand Guardian of the Holy Light!】*

*"Grand Guardian of the Holy Light?"*

Eirik fell silent, realizing the significance of this title. He knew it well; he had once mingled in the Holy Light sect in his past life.

The Holy Light sect was the state religion of the Dawnstar Dynasty, wielding power beyond common understanding. The empire was half a theocracy, with divine and royal power nearly evenly split.

The Grand Guardian's authority was just a hair short of the ruling ministers!

Now, the three gifts from Violanda were clear:

1. Exceptional talent to shape his future.

2. Endless wealth and beauties for his enjoyment.

3. Immense earthly power to control life and death!

In this world of magic scholars, what more could one desire than strength, riches, women, and power?

Now, Violanda offered him everything! Could he refuse?!
