Hah~
Ivsha gently licked her fingertips, a satisfied smile blooming on her exquisite face. Her gaze grew soft and distant, as if she were reliving the pleasant moment from just before.
"Mr. Su Xuan, you should eat fewer sweets~"
In response to Ivsha's suggestion, Su Xuan merely gave her an indifferent glance.
He said in a low voice, "Ivsha, you are a Nun. You should be mindful of your bearing and behavior."
'He only said this in the hopes that Ivsha would be gentler and more refined—that she would use more skill and finesse, rather than just brute force, when she drew from him.'
"But~ my master~ I'm not just a Nun, I'm also a Succubus~" Ivsha said with a playful smile, but she took Su Xuan's request to heart.
"Alright, hurry up and get dressed. A new Adventurer will be here soon."
"Mm~"
Su Xuan shrugged and urged Ivsha to get dressed.
He then headed to the washroom to freshen up, preparing to welcome the new Adventurer.
As for being worried about Ivsha's identity as a Succubus?
Su Xuan didn't let it bother him. The existence of the [Unwavering Loyalty] Trait meant that Ivsha was only interested in him.
'This was another reason he rated the game so highly. As a player who valued absolute devotion from his companions, Ivsha's design was a resounding success!'
By the time he had composed himself and returned to the Guild,
Ivsha had already changed into her Nun's Habit. The tidy black robe highlighted her pure and refined aura, completely erasing the powerfully sensual demeanor she'd had just moments ago.
'The abrupt change was rather surprising to Su Xuan. Ivsha really could switch between her personas with incredible speed and ease.'
"Mr. Su Xuan, that new Adventurer… what kind of person is it?"
Ivsha asked Su Xuan curiously.
"It…"
Su Xuan froze upon hearing her question.
'He wasn't entirely sure what kind of Adventurer he had recruited either, but the name "Oath Knight" suggested it would be a very serious individual!'
With that thought, Su Xuan summoned the new Adventurer to the Guild. A brilliant light flashed, and the Guild's great doors slowly swung open.
An Oath Knight clad in White Gold armor strode into the Guild with heavy steps. Su Xuan's gaze was instantly captivated!
The heavy armor completely enveloped its frame, giving off a feeling of immense solidity. A White Gold helmet completely obscured its face, lending it an air of mystery.
Su Xuan couldn't see its face, so he focused on admiring the suit of heavy armor. The craftsmanship was exquisite; the family crest and gilded golden trim lent it a noble and majestic air. Moreover, the chest plate was distinctly prominent, and he could imagine it had once been filled by a heavy burden.
But now…
Su Xuan's gaze shifted to the Oath Knight's hands, the only part of its body that was exposed.
But he didn't see palms; he saw hand bones that glittered like diamonds.
Undead!
'Just as the combination of traits suggested: "Undead Crystal Structure of the White Rose and Oath Knight."'
An Undead Knight constructed from a Diamond Crystal Skeleton.
Inside that suit of armor was nothing but a skeleton!
Beside him, Ivsha stared intently at the new Adventurer, her eyes betraying a deep-seated unease and fear. This new colleague emanated a subtle but tangible pressure that was almost suffocating.
"You…"
Just as Su Xuan was about to ask a question, the new Adventurer's information appeared in his vision.

'A Level 10 Legendary Adventurer!?'
Su Xuan's eyes flashed!
'He'd actually managed to recruit a Legendary Adventurer!?'
[White Rose and Oath Knight]: Once received the gift of an oath from a White Rose. While in the White Rose state, All Attributes increase by 100% and Danger Perception increases by 100%, but Pain Perception also increases by 100%.

?
Su Xuan was instantly stunned by Rosaline's brutally powerful traits and attributes!
Her traits were simply ridiculous!
A pure, unadulterated powerhouse!
"Rosaline! Welcome to my Guild!"
Su Xuan excitedly gave her a warm welcome, but he received no response.
She merely gazed at him in silence, an eerie light glowing from within the visor of her helmet...
"Mr. Su Xuan, it seems… it can't talk?"
Ivsha asked, having also noticed there was something unusual about Rosaline.
"Er…"
Su Xuan stared at the prompt that had just popped up and didn't answer right away.
Because…
[Having been turned into an Undead, this Adventurer suffers from memory loss, has lost the ability to speak, and retains only shattered Memory Fragments of her past.]
'Amnesia?'
'Mute?'
Su Xuan's brow furrowed slightly. This was not a good thing.
'But from what the status bar showed, it seemed to be a temporary condition. Could it be resolved somehow?'
"Rosaline?"
Su Xuan called the Undead Knight's name again, trying to establish a connection with her.
At his call, Rosaline seemed to have a slight reaction. Her glittering, crystal-like finger bones twitched, and then her hand reached straight for Su Xuan's eyes. The gesture astonished Su Xuan. He didn't know what Rosaline wanted to express, or what kind of information she was trying to convey.
"Can you write?"
Su Xuan asked again.
Rosaline nodded lightly, as if in response to his question. But then she quickly shook her head, leaving Su Xuan completely bewildered. He had no idea what the Undead Knight meant.
And in the midst of his confusion, Rosaline extended a skeletal finger and carved a message onto the countertop.
'I require no payment. Please help me recover my memories.'
'No payment needed?'
Su Xuan raised an eyebrow. He was a little surprised that Rosaline didn't require payment, but he also saw it as an advantage.
'An advantage for him as the Guild President, of course.'
'All in all, an Adventurer with very clear strengths and weaknesses.'
Though Rosaline could not speak and had lost her past memories, her formidable strength was more than enough to make her a steadfast pillar for the Guild.
Just after Su Xuan successfully recruited his second Adventurer, the ethereal voice sounded in his mind once again.
