"..."
I was stunned.
@*(@#*@!
I had just recognized him as my big brother! I did not even talk to him at length and get carried by him, yet he was actually stepped into a pile of broken bones?
I walked out of the cave and raised my head. I noticed that the onewho had stepped on my big brother was an Undead Giant. He was ten ters tall and held a giant red battleaxe. He walked forward,not caring about the fact that he had just killed soone. It was as if, in his eyes, we, small Skeletons, wereants.
Speechless.
I looked at the bones on the ground and said, "Big brother, rest in peace..."
Next, I looked around carefully. Outside the cave was a vast land infected with death energy. One could not see any living being at all, and at the sa ti,one could only see undead all about. So were Skeletons, so were from other undead races. There were decomposing Nether Wolves, Undead Iron Black Bears, Undead Giants, et cetera.
In the distance, a giant furnace was burning, which gave off a sizzling sound. One could even hear the tragic howls spreading out from it.
Hua...
Suddenly, I felt like the surrounding air was being sealed up and I could not move at all. Shortly after, an extrely beautiful being shot through the sky. It was a girl in a red dress with her hair tied in a bun. She had just chargedat , her lips like flas as her eyes looked up and down. She bent down and sniffed , showing a look of disbelief.
"No, I slled so kind of pure aura; was it not you?"
"You... Who are you?"
My eyes opened wide in shock. For a girl to observe at such proximity, my heart could not help but thump. She just smiled. "Since it's not you, forget it."
The mont she said that, she turned around and left. She turned into an afterimages, which disappeared in the wind. She ca and left without a sign at all. Moreover, throughout the entire process, I could not see her na, level, and stats at all, though her background had to be really amazing.
At that mont, an Undead Soldier, riding an Undead Bone Horse and holding a halberd, walked over. He told , "Dumb bug, what are you doing there? The Reincarnation Valley doesn't raise slackers. Go report to the Soul Furnace and start working. If you don't, I'll slice off your head!"
I was stunned.Why was this fellow so fierce?
I raised my head and was indeed able to see so stats of this NPC
Fla Soul Zombie General (Rare Boss)
Level: ???
Introduction: Black Castle Reincarnation Valley's Basic-grade War General has strong fla control. Young adventurer, this Fla Soul Zombie General often bullies the weak but is afraid of the strong; if you think that you can beat him, then just try.
Anyway, I would be unable to beat this person. After all, his level was red, while I... Currently, the stats said that I did not have a level. Who knew what was going on, but at least I definitely was not his match. Since that was the case, I had no choice but to lower my head!
"En?"
Fla Soul Zombie General looked at the bones of my just-deceased old brother and spatviciously, "Pui! Dumb chicken finally died! Brat, what are you waiting for? Go!"
Thus, I was chased by him towardthe giant furnace. I instantly felt like I was in a furnace as the surroundings beca too hot. I saw a bunch of skeletons,who all looked shocked as if they did not know what to do.
At that mont, the sky was covered by dark clouds. A lightning sliced the clouds apart, and several huge bones rained down as if the world above was tossing their trash. So stones, which sealedsouls, rained down as well, piling into a huge heap!
"It is finally starting."
A solemn voice sounded from the distance. A black wind consolidated into the body of a middle-aged man. Dressed in a black robe, he looked different from all the monsters present. He carried a sharp sword on his back as he looked at the rip in the sky.
He said, "People from the other world have entered the Illusionary Moon Continent and the war has begun. Based on the agreent we have with the Dinsion Legion, we will be in charge of soul transferring. Undead of Reincarnation Valley, let's start our work around the soul furnace!"
"Yes, sir!"
The NPCs nodded.
Amongthe sparks flying, I saw the middle-aged man's na
Reincarnation Valley Manager Zhuang Huai Shui (Precious Boss)
Level: ???
Introduction: Black Castle Reincarnation Valley Managerhas huge strength, so do not offend him easily.
I frowned. This was a Precious-grade Boss and was definitely not sothing a player could touch at this level. In Illusionary Moon, Boss levels were split into: Elite, Rare, Precious, Unique, Legendary, Chaotic, End of the Universe. The servers had just opened, so most players had not even seen Elite-level Bosses, much less one at Precious grade.
Thus, I followed the skeletons in walking forward to shift these fallen corpses. I tossed them into the giant furnace called the Soul Refining Furnace.
I did work while summoning my elf secretary.
Shua!
She spun around and landed on my shoulder. Crossing her long white legs, my elf secretary lazily yawned. "Master, Little Shu is here; what problem do you need to solve?"
I nodded. "I activated a hidden race and hidden occupation.Tell about this place; I currently have no idea at all."
"Yes, master."
She smiled innocently and said, "This is Black Castle, a neutral region. Black Castle was built by a few undead experts who used to be humans. Unwilling to fight humans, they didn't join the Dinsion Legion. Unfortunately, they are unable to resist the legion's strength, so they can only give in. Reincarnation Valley is such a place. They receivethe souls of monsters that the players killand refine them in the furnace to create new monsters, which will then be sent to the various maps. This is basically a monster creation workshop. Master's quest is to help in the job here."
"Xi..."
I sucked in a deep breath. "Then how do I level up? How do I grow... I can't just be stuck here carrying corpses, can I?"
"Of course not."
She shook her head and smiled. "Black Castle has its own system. Master is currently in Reincarnation Valley; it is one of the five parts here. There are four other places, naly Wind Cloud Platform, Precious Treasure Pavilion, Heaven and Earth Pavilion, and Ancient Battlefield. Master can earn 1 Black Castle contribution point for every hour you work here. You can exchange for skill books, equipnt, tools, etc. in Precious Treasure Pavilion and Heaven and Earth Pavilion. Anyway, your treatnt in Black Castle is sothing that other players can't wish for."
"So that's the case..."
I nodded.
Little Shu smiled. "Right, since master has joined Black Castle and beco a mber of the undead, confirm your growth direction and choose a job!"
In the next second, an interface jumped in front of . I could actually choose a job in advance.
Illusionary Moon had nine jobs, and all of which appeared before my eyes: Warrior, Paladin, Archer, Assassin, Elental Mage, Priest, Enchanter, Fighter, and Musician. The front few were attack jobs while Enchanter was half combat and half support. Musician was one that was full support. As for my choice, there was nothing to think about. I still chose the one I was familiar with.
"Confirm, Assassin!"
"Okay!"
In the next second, my job was confird as Assassin, but I was an Undead Assassin. Maybe in the future, I would grow into a Shura Assassin? That would be sothing to look forward to. If I was just a Skeleton Assassin, then wouldI not be useless?
After I confird my job, I did not have any place to learn skills, so I just continued my work in the furnace.
I buried my head and grinded for an hour.
Ding!
[System notification: Congratulations!Due to your hard work, you have earned 1 contribution point!]
Unfortunately, just contribution points alone was useless; I needed levels!
At that mont, there was a notification at the bottom right
[Wind Cloud Platform battle countdown: 2:59:59]
"Wind Cloud Platform?"
I was, once more, totally confused.
Little Secretary blinked her eyes and explained patiently, "Wind Cloud Platform is a duel arena. Only the strongest undead in the younger generation of Black Castle can stand out. Master, once you beco the final victor in Wind Cloud Platform, you will have the right to descend as a Boss into public maps. After killing players, you will be able to earn contribution points."
My body shook. "I am so poor now; do you think I can win on Wind Cloud Platform?"
She burst into laughter and gave a finger heart. "In Little Shu's heart, my master is the best!"
I laughed.This was such a thoughtful secretary!
However, with this countdown tir, didthat not an that the first Boss in the beginner village would appear in three hours? That was possible.
Fate was such a funny thing.This ti.. I seed to have joined the NPC camp. Since that was the case... I shall blend in!
Not long later.
Dong dong~
In the outside world, Ah Fei knocked onto my helt. "I am going to pee; are you going?"
"No, what level are you at?"
"Level 4."
"Level 4 and you want to pee?"
"Ahaha! I drank too much water in the afternoon! What level are you?"
"Level 0!"
"Wow... It seems like we are about to fail on the first day!"
"No no, calm down."
"Right, what are we eating tonight?"
"We didn't even earn any money; let's just eat cup noodles."
Okay!
Since I was heading to Wind Cloud Platform, I had to prepare. Apart from the Shura Secret Codex, I had two advantages, which were the two other items in my bag.
I took out the black bracelet, and the mont I confird that I would wear it, a bell rang in my ears
Ding!
[System notification: Once this item is bound, it will be unable to drop and it will be unable to be taken out. Are you sure to use it?]
Unable to take off?
I was stunned.That was tough. What if this ended up being trash. If I was unable to take it off in the future, then would my account not have fewer stats than others? I would be naturally weaker!
Still, if I did not wear it, I would be unable to accept it. After all, the server had just opened and the forums were all people cursing at the poor drop rate. Even white-colored armor was not dropping, much less anything else. To have such a bracelet now would an that I was in the lead. Moreover, with my rich gaming experience, items that could not be dropped and were boundhad to be great.
Take a gamble!
Confirm, wear it!
The mont I put it on, there was a ringing sound. A blue light released from the bracelet. The old surface started to change, and so small patterns appeared, giving off an old copper glow. Moreover, the stats actually appeared!
(Excellent)
Defense: 15
Strength: 9
Property: Can evolve.
Special effect: Has recognized its master.
Weng~
My mind went blank once more. I was rich; this was actually an Excellent-grade item. The na was in dark green, which was such a win!
Illusionary Moon's equipnt wascategorized:Gray and whitewere the lousiest;green ranged from Strong to Excellent;blue was split between Rare and Super Rare;purple was either Precious or Treasure grade; and lastly, orange was equipnt at Unique and Legendary grade. Every Illusionary Moonequipnt was based on color. At the current state, with almost all players still in beginner villages, dark blue equipnt was no different from godly weapons. anwhile, my bracelet could be evolved, so it was definitely a treasure!
All of a sudden, I could not help but kiss it. I felt great.
I then took out my third lucky charm, the Achievent Manual. I touched and activated it right away. A bell rang in my ears
Ding!
[System notification: Attention, do not reach requirents!]
However, it did not show what those were. I had no choice and could only continue shifting bricks in Reincarnation Valley.
Thus, after two more hours, I finally gained 3 points.
After eating cup noodles, I continued online. Not long later, a bell rang in my ears once more
[System notification: Please pay attention; Wind Cloud Platform will be activated.Will you join in?]
Confirm, join!
I had the Ancient Bracelet protecting , so I had nothing to fear!
