Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True

“You really can understand!”

Seeing the donkey’s reaction, Ye Bai’s eyes lit up. She had secretly noticed this earlier, and now her suspicions were confirmed.

This donkey was definitely not ordinary!

It could retrieve items from her spatial backpack, understand the language of dragons, and seemed highly intelligent. Wandering alone in the dragon tomb ruins, how could it possibly be just a regular donkey?

“Hee-haw! Hee-haw!”

Perhaps because its secret was already exposed, the donkey simply closed its eyes, finished chewing the bread, and let out a bray, as if it had given up trying to hide anything.

“What’s your connection to the ancient dragon race?” Ye Bai asked. Compared to the mysterious, cursed humanoid figure, she found herself trusting the donkey more, especially since it was bound to her and their bond was growing.

“Hee-haw!”

The donkey maintained its expression and could only bray in response, unable to speak.

“Do you have dragon blood in you? Are you some kind of mutated breed?” Ye Bai speculated, then shook her head. Dragon bloodlines were dominant; even a distant descendant would show clear physical traits of a dragon. This donkey, however, looked no different from any ordinary donkey.

“Hee-haw!”

The donkey brayed again, still wearing the same expression.

Ye Bai: “Am I wrong?”

“Hee-haw!”

This time, it even rolled its eyes.

Ye Bai’s gaze sharpened, and she began to make a bold guess: “Are you actually a dragon in disguise, hiding your identity to seek revenge for the ancient dragon race?”

“Hee-haw!”

The donkey’s eyes rolled so far back it looked like they might get stuck.

Ye Bai never thought she’d see such an exasperated expression on a donkey’s face. But then again, the ancient dragons were a proud race. They would only acknowledge those they deemed worthy. If this donkey were truly a dragon, no matter how much it was enduring, it would never allow a mere level 20-something human to ride on its back.

This was something ingrained in the dragon’s bloodline—like the underlying code of their behavioral logic in the game.

So, what exactly was this donkey’s origin?

Feeling a tug on her cloak, Ye Bai turned to look at the donkey.

It released her lightweight cloak and gestured forward with its snout.

“What? Do you have something else to do here?” Ye Bai asked.

Her primary goal in coming to the divine realm was to obtain fabric from the Weaving Clan. However, the donkey had always seemed to be following her for the bread, showing no clear purpose. Now, with this hint, was there more to its intentions?

“Hee-haw!”

The donkey brayed and blinked at her, but it didn’t give a clear confirmation or denial.

Ye Bai scratched her head, feeling the frustration of the language barrier. Why hadn’t she unlocked some kind of “Donkey Language” proficiency? She shook off the absurd thought and said, “Forget it. Let’s just go in first.”

The donkey couldn’t speak, and no quest had been triggered. No matter how curious she was, there was nothing she could do about it now.

“Hee-haw!” The donkey brayed again, as if agreeing with her.

Ye Bai took a few steps forward. The slope ahead was shrouded in thicker fog, the ground dark and barren, exuding a faintly decaying scent.

It felt like a giant maw, ready to devour anyone who approached, radiating an ominous aura.

Ye Bai glanced back at the donkey. It was following her, staying about two or three meters behind, moving more steadily than she was. Not only was it silent, but it also made no sound as it walked, clearly aware of the danger ahead.

Hmm… Ye Bai’s lips twitched. This guy seemed more suited for stealth than she was.

As they ventured deeper into the fog, the terrain sloped downward, and the light from above grew dimmer.

It was as if they had transitioned from an ordinary foggy day to a gloomy, overcast one.

Ye Bai knew this was still better than exploring at night.

The divine realm was a high-level zone, but it wasn’t entirely populated by creatures above level 60. There were weaker races here as well. Among the dragonkin, strength varied, with most falling between levels 40 and 60, excluding elite monsters and bosses. If they were dealing with living dragonkin, Ye Bai wouldn’t dare to venture here recklessly.

However, after death, they became undead creatures, which gave Ye Bai some confidence.

Aside from a few exceptionally powerful beings, undead creatures rarely appeared during the day and had a significant weakness: they took triple damage from light and fire-based attacks.

...

Deep within the fog appeared to be a valley. Ye Bai followed the slope downward for over thirty minutes. The surroundings grew darker, but everything remained eerily quiet, with only the faint sound of her own footsteps breaking the silence.

Occasionally, she would glance back, reassured by the sight of the donkey following closely behind.

Finally, the slope leveled out, and Ye Bai felt she must be nearing the bottom of the valley.

“Whoosh!”

“Ah—!”

Suddenly, Ye Bai felt the ground beneath her give way. A sense of weightlessness overtook her as the ground collapsed, and she plummeted downward before she could react.

“Crash…!”

A series of loud rumbles echoed through the once-silent valley. Amid the chaos, Ye Bai immediately pulled out a magic scroll, ready to activate it at any moment.

Falling from a great height could cause significant damage. Ye Bai’s armor far exceeded what was typical for her level, with most of her equipment being rare-grade or higher. Her lightweight cloak also provided excellent cushioning and jumping effects, offering strong defense against falls.

However, if the drop was too high—like from a cliff hundreds of meters tall—no creature without the ability to fly would survive.

Fortunately, this collapse wasn’t a cliff but more like a small landslide caused by geological instability. After the initial rumble, the fall quickly came to an end, sparing Ye Bai the indignity of her first in-game death being due to “falling off a cliff.”

Her lightweight set provided excellent cushioning, and Ye Bai emerged from the collapse unscathed, losing only about thirty health points from being struck by falling debris.

The area was pitch black. With a soft “whoosh,” Ye Bai lit a candle she had retrieved from her backpack.

The candlelight illuminated the surroundings, revealing what appeared to be a man-made tunnel… or perhaps not. Judging by the claw marks, it might not have been made by humans. Given that this was a dragonkin settlement, it was likely dug by the “Dragon Scale Clan” mentioned earlier by the mysterious humanoid figure.

The place where Ye Bai had been standing earlier must have been above this tunnel. Geological instability had caused the collapse, sending her tumbling down here.

Many dragonkin retained their burrowing habits, living in relatively primitive conditions. This was a common trait among races with overwhelming individual strength—they often didn’t develop advanced technology or civilization because they didn’t need to, having already secured their place at the top of the food chain.

As Ye Bai regained her bearings and looked around, her heart skipped a beat.

Wait, where’s the donkey?

The lively donkey that had been following her just moments ago—where was it?

Ye Bai raised the candle to look up at the ceiling, but all she saw was darkness. A large rock blocked the opening from which she had fallen, maintaining a fragile balance. She had no idea how much debris was piled above.

She then searched the surrounding rubble, even digging through it, but found no trace of the donkey.

Could it be that only she had fallen, and the donkey had stayed above?

But Ye Bai remembered the scale of the collapse. The donkey had been following her closely, just two or three meters behind. There was no way it could have avoided falling with her.

Ye Bai wasn’t too worried about the donkey’s safety in her subconscious mind. After all, it didn’t seem like an ordinary donkey at all. She felt that even if she died, the donkey might still survive.

So, where could the donkey have gone in such a short time?

It seemed she had no choice but to explore the surrounding area...

Ye Bai glanced around. The passageway was also sloped, with the upward direction clearly being the entrance. Since she had already come this far, she naturally decided to head deeper downward.

However, being in a dragonkin settlement, Ye Bai didn’t dare to let her guard down. She held a magic scroll in her left hand and a snow-colored sword in her right, carefully stepping over scattered rocks as she moved forward in silence.

After descending another ten meters or so, Ye Bai reached the end of the passageway.

Ahead was a wider, horizontal path, and unlike the rough passageway she had just traversed, the ground here was paved with large stone tiles.

This path was also a slope, with stairs appearing in the middle. Below, there was a massive, slightly ajar door. Ye Bai’s sharp eyes caught sight of two giant dragon sculptures flanking the entrance.

The sculptures symbolized the dragonkin’s reverence for their kind. It seemed the mysterious humanoid figure hadn’t lied to Ye Bai—this was indeed a dragonkin settlement.

Just as Ye Bai was observing the scene, her gaze suddenly froze as she spotted a familiar figure.

A gray donkey darted out from a hidden corner, sneaking around furtively as it made its way toward the massive door.

The enormous door was slightly open, and the two dragon sculptures on either side made the donkey’s figure appear incredibly ‘petite,’ not even as tall as the dragons’ claws.

Ye Bai watched helplessly as the donkey’s figure flickered and, with astonishing speed, slipped through the giant door.

So, that’s where it went!

Ye Bai was about to chase after it immediately when she suddenly heard a familiar voice beside her:

“Be careful! Don’t go over there yet!”
