"You open your eyes..."
"And you see the vast world, the greenish-gray peaks floating in the air, the rotten, stinking land. The dry yellow grass is filled with the sharp cries of insects."
"You know this place is the Mountain and Sea Realm. But that’s all you know, you have no idea about this place."
"This is a land where light and righteousness struggle to spread, a High Level Idealism plane, where the forces behind it can barely help you."
"And you feel an invisible rejection from this world, the bone-chilling frost coming at you from all sides. If only you had known, you would have worn an extra layer before coming in."
"You give a self-deprecating smile and call yourself an outsider."
"You take your first step very carefully, but when faced with the vast world, you feel a bit overwheld."
"You have four directions to choose from."
"1. East, where the sun rises, there flows a babbling brook."
"2. West, where the sun sets, there lies a dilapidated temple."
"3. South, where there’s a small path covered in weeds."
"4. North, where there is nothing as far as the eye can see."
"Unwelco stranger, the sun is about to set, please choose your adventure or decide to sleep in the wilds."
Watching the text on the screen, Wang Hao almost understood the gaplay,
In fact, Wang Hao kind of wanted to court death given the current character Li Qingshan had a bit of strength.
But he couldn’t bear to lose his 1 point of Power of Illusion, feeling stingy and miserly.
So with a sense of responsibility, he chose the most reliable option, "2. Temple."
"You decide to explore the ruined temple to allow the Demon God of your ho to invade this damned world soon. To spread the light of the Righteous Path over this rotten land."
"You are very cautious, and a faint mist starts to form around you."
"You notice a white figure spying on you in the temple."
"Photo"
"What, there’s a photo?"
Wang Hao clicked on the photo to see a two-tailed heterochromic white-haired 2D beauty, one eye red, the other black.
"Oh oh, really a land ripe for ruin? There’s a waifu made of paper in the temple, too enjoyable."
However, obviously, that’s not what Comrade Li Qingshan ran into.
"The monster has noticed you."
"You engage in battle with this terrifying white-haired beast."
"You are quite skilled and dodge incessantly."
"But unfortunately, you are caught."
"As you are being bit to death by the white-haired monster, you wonder, oh great Demon God, why not grant a suitable weapon?"
...
...
Li Qingshan did not feel controlled; he was simply baffled by this "Mountain and Sea Realm," the mountains hanging in the sky, and the cold and blunt airflows prickling like needles, announcing the cruel horror of this world.
"Can humans really survive here?"
Subconsciously, he chooses the direction of the temple.
After all, it signifies traces of human activity; there might be so clues left behind.
He saw a white hair!!
In that instant, the thought of "two-tailed heterochromic white-haired, white-silk 2D beauty" did cross his mind, but his eyelid started twitching madly, sensing a warning sign soon after.
What white hair? That was white fur!
What heterochromia? Those were blood-red eyes!
One of the eyes was blind, a black hole!
What 2D beauty? It was clearly a mummified corpse!
Li Qingshan battled and dodged the monster, using every ounce of his strength, adrenaline pumping.
But with his bare hands, he couldn’t break through the creature’s defenses.
With the fall of night, the fog thickened, and as his energy drained, he was caught by a monster that bit into his neck and gruesoly devoured his brain.
...
...
The situation took a rapid turn for the worse.
Wang Hao was dumbfounded!
"You struggle in agony and die."
"But the great Demon God protected your soul at the mont you were on the brink of death, letting you escape that damned destiny."
"You have returned to the Ga Training Camp."
"Priding yourself on your ’Iron Will,’ the mory of being eaten alive by the monster causes you to experience a psychological breakdown."
"Outsider, the Mountain and Sea Realm is tough, isn’t it?"
"The so-called first eting kill could not be more true."
"It was my negligence, sorry."
Wang Hao opened the character equipnt interface and indeed he hadn’t brought any equipnt.
Just as he was about to equip a Rune Blade, a ssage popped up on his phone screen: "You have no anchors in the Mountain and Sea Realm. To prevent detection by the world, equipping any low-level Strange Object requires additional Power of Illusion. Do you wish to proceed?"
Two points of Power of Illusion were manageable.
But equipping more Strange Objects and the constant consumption would beco expensive.
"Confirm."
A Rune Blade appeared in the equipnt slot.
Then, a few lines of text erged on the screen.
"Equipping the Rune Blade, you regain so confidence."
"However, you are still sowhat distraught over your recent death."
He then administered a "Great Spirit Replenishing Pill" to Comrade Li Qingshan, a drug concocted with Immortal Beans and Spiritual Beans. Though only a temporary buff, it should suffice to dispel the breakdown.
"After taking the dicine, you break free from that damning breakdown."
"You wipe the sweat from your brow and realize that the task of pioneering the ’Mountain and Sea Realm’ holds potential imnse value for human civilization. Thus, you regroup and step into the transport circle once again."
"Confirm restart of the ga?"
"Is this about considering the character’s willpower?" Wang Hao raised an eyebrow, "I’m not sure whether it’s because of the pill or because of the iron will, but Comrade Li sure is... aweso."
"Confirm."
With a creak, the sound of a door being opened.
"You arrive in the wilderness. When you open your eyes, you find the sun has set, your view is plunged into darkness, and the only sounds are the chirping of insects echoing in your ears."
"Even with your superior vision, you can’t penetrate the darkness."
"You sll a strong scent of blood and hear the sound of swallowing and chewing."
"You encounter the White-haired Monster once again, feasting on the remains of your previous incarnation!"
"You decide..."
"1. Try a stealth attack"
"2. Get out of Dodge"
"So, the tiline doesn’t reset; it’s continuous."
Ard with a Rune Blade, he definitely planned to find a way to take down the monster.
Wang Hao clicked on "1. Try a stealth attack."
"You hold your breath, gripping the Rune Blade, and attempt a stealth attack. The special effect of the Great Spirit Replenishing Pill inflates your ambition."
"But your discovery of the creature ans it has also discovered you."
"Visibility is too poor; you miss your attack."
"You die."
"What?!" This simple string of text seed to possess a magic that surged adrenaline through Wang Hao.
The Strange Object he had just carried with him was gone!
