『Help! I accidentally bumped the Rank 2 expert into a dungeon—what now?』
Abyssal Rift Space · Player Profile (Unofficial Version) — Compiled by the Wangsheng Station Intelligence Exchange, proofread courtesy of the Starry Workshop, and included in the Dawn Guild's Newbie Guide. Contains a high volume of subjective speculation and hearsay; believe it or not at your own discretion. Name: Yue Ling Point Ranking: Second (Depressingly stable; while the third place and below have rotated several times, he’s practically welded to that spot). Guild: None. Lone wolf. Solo player. Call it what you want, he simply won't join. Weapons: Twin blades, one long and one short. The long one is named "Frost Path," and the short one is "Moon Bait." As for why one is named Frost and the other Moon—maybe he just thought it sounded cool. And honestly, it is; nobody dares to say otherwise to his face. Appearance: Handsome, in a very cold way. Broad shoulders and a narrow waist with lean, well-distributed muscle—the kind of physique where he looks thin in clothes, but once they're off, you realize "so that's where the muscle was hiding." Sharp facial features, cold eyes, and a perennial lack of expression. Rumor has it a female player once snuck a photo of his profile in the Teleportation Hall to sell as cards; he didn't care—or perhaps he was just too lazy to bother. Personality (Public Version): Cold. Taciturn. Never smiles. He treats words like they're worth gold, using language so precise it reads like an experimental report. He never initiates social contact and only speaks in dungeons when providing critical information, never a word more. If someone tries to flirt or chat, his response is usually silence, walking away, or a look that says "step any closer and I draw my blade." Personality (Unreliable Sources Version): According to an anonymous source (Lian Wuxi, Rank 1) during a drunken slip-up: "Ah-Ling... he just doesn't smile on his face, but he's already processed everything in his heart. Don't be fooled by that cold mask; he's a closet softie, not actually frozen through." — Direct quote. The source later denied ever saying this, but the Intelligence Exchange refused to delete the record. Combat Style: Calm, efficient, and utterly ruthless. He won't go head-to-head with you or trade blows for three hundred rounds. He does only one thing—finds the most effortless way to end the fight in the shortest time possible. But Note: Although he dislikes grouping up, if you happen to be assigned to the same dungeon as him, cherish the opportunity. He won't actively help you, but when he calculates the situation, he'll include you in his plans by default—that "by default" might just save your life. Relationship Status: Official Stance: Unmarried, single, not dating. Folk Rumor: The relationship between him and Lian Wuxi is something no one in the Abyssal Rift understands except them. You could call them friends, but no friend wraps another's entire apartment in silk threads. You could call them lovers, but Yue Ling never shows any affection in public, looking at Lian Wuxi with the same expression he’d give a rock. However, if you say one bad word about Lian Wuxi in front of Yue Ling—his reaction will shift from "looking at a rock" to "looking at a rock that needs to be split by a blade." Perhaps that's just the bond of soulmates. Newbie Precautions (If you encounter Yue Ling in a dungeon): Do not touch him. Do not touch him. Do not touch him. Physical contact is his minefield; if you accidentally brush his sleeve, he might back away three steps and look at you like you're a dungeon boss. If he speaks, listen. Every word is useful. He does not waste breath. If he suddenly glances at you, don't be nervous. It's not necessarily that you did something wrong; it might just be that you're standing in a position he needs to calculate as a variable. If he speaks to you after a dungeon ends—treasure it, as that's the closest he gets to saying "I think you're okay."
