Translator: 549690339
As an experienced gamer, Su Nan had played many games and knew that some games had extremely strict control over the use of the game bracelet. Once used, it would automatically bind the player’s identity and directly cut off the possibility of trading the bracelet.
But what he was experiencing now was the first time.
“According to the descriptions of other players on the forum, in this game, players have one life every day, and even if they die, they will be revived the next day. There is no situation where a role would be permanently dead.”
“Could it be that the death referred to here is the actual death of the real-life player?”
He suddenly thought of a possibility.
After this thought, Su Nan immediately felt ridiculous about it.
He had just met the owner of the bracelet not long ago.
It wouldn’t be possible that the owner of the game bracelet had already died in such a short time.
Besides, even if the owner of the game bracelet was really dead, how could the game know?
After thinking for a moment, Su Nan could not figure out the reason, so he chose not to think about the problem and continued to look at the game’s prompts. Another question arose.
“It seems that the game’s starting lineup does not give away talents. What happened to me?”
He had seen many games that give away divine equipment and divine beasts at the beginning, but he had not seen any information about this on the game forum just now.
“Is this some hidden setting in the game?”contemporary romance
After thinking for a moment, he did not hesitate too much, and directly chose to confirm the inheritance.
[Talent ability acquisition complete, please check the Personal Information Panel.]
As the words jumped, the scenery in front of Su Nan changed, and he arrived in a dim world.
He was standing on the edge of a towering cliff at this time.
[In Daxuan Year 1785, you came to this world ruled by the Twelve Demon Emperors. It is a world where demons wreak havoc, and human life is like a grass. In this world, human status is extremely low, and monsters are the masters of this world.]
[It is said that the ancestors of mankind were the masters of this world, but unfortunately, due to a disaster, the Heavenly and Earthly vitality was cut off and the practice was lost. Since then, humans have become the blood food of monsters.]
[Until thousands of years ago, someone accidentally discovered that by using some methods, the bloodline of monsters could be integrated into their own bodies, thereby possessing part of the abilities of monsters, which gradually allowed humans to have the ability to barely survive.]
[Unfortunately, this method has a fatal drawback. After the fusion of the monster’s bloodline, the human body will gradually change into the appearance of the monster, becoming a non-human, non-demon existence.]
[What’s worse, as more and more monster bloodlines are integrated, various bloodlines cannot be well balanced. Eventually, they go out of control, and human consciousness is influenced by the demonic blood’s evil energy, turned into a monster controlled by evil energy.]
Lines of text jumped before his eyes, quickly presenting the background of the game world.
He had seen this information on the forum just now, and Su Nan just glanced at it now.
In short, the background of the game is a world where demons wreak havoc, and to become strong in this world, one must constantly integrate the bloodline of demons.
However, it is not so easy to fuse the demonic bloodline, as it is full of dangers. Not only can it lead to changes in appearance, but it can also lead to bloodline conflicts resulting in loss of control, being controlled by evil energy.
[The Demon World is full of dangers; here, you cannot trust anyone but yourself.]
[As an outsider, if you want to survive in this world, you must constantly integrate the bloodline of powerful monsters to gain their power.]
[In order to survive better in the Demon World, please set a name for yourself in the Demon World.]
“Wang Nan”
He would naturally not use his real name, and he simply made up a false name.
[Character template creation successful]
[Character randomly descending…]
[Character descent successful, Outsider, please start your game and have a pleasant journey.]
A sudden feeling of weightlessness came over him, as if he was falling from the sky. The scenery in front of his eyes changed again.
Opening his eyes, Su Nan found himself lying in a room covered with straw. Right in front of him was an extremely thick metal door.
“My head hurts so much, it feels like someone hit the back of my head hard.”
Intense pain made Su Nan gasp involuntarily, and he subconsciously touched the back of his head. Thankfully, he did not feel any obvious blood.
Acidic pain and weakness came from his limbs at the same time. Leaning against the wall, Su Nan used a lot of effort to barely get up.
Taking deep breaths of damp, moldy air, he felt as if his whole body had been hollowed out, extremely weak.
The room was dimly lit, with only a reddish-yellow light shining through a small hole above the metal door.
Various sensory inputs came one after another, making Su Nan have an illusion that he was in the real world.
“Is this game a bit too realistic?” Su Nan was surprised. This was the first time he had ever played such a realistic game.
“You didn’t die?”
Without waiting for Su Nan to continue exploring, a surprised voice came from behind him.
Turning around, he saw that there were other people in the room.
The room he was in was not large, only about twenty square meters. Squatting in the two corners of the room were four young men in their twenties.
They all looked haggard and ragged, as if they had been through a disaster. The young man who had just spoken was on the left, his clothes tattered.
This was a prison cell!
His current identity was the same as the other four, all prisoners in this cell.
As soon as the thought crossed Su Nan’s mind, he quickly made a rough judgment about his current environment and his identity in the game.
Not waiting for Su Nan to speak, the young man who spoke before sighed and continued: “What’s the use of not dying? It won’t be long before we die anyway.”
The despair in the young man’s voice gave Su Nan a bad feeling.
He was about to ask about the situation when suddenly he heard faint footsteps outside the room.
Dada…
Dada…
The footsteps, from far to near, sounded rhythmically.
Upon hearing these footsteps, Su Nan remained unfazed, but the others in the prison cell shuddered as if they had heard something terrifying.
“They’re coming! They’re coming again!”
“It’s over, they take away two people every time, and now there are only five of us left, it might be my turn this time!”
“I don’t want to die… who will save me…”
The faces of the young men in the prison cell turned pale, as if they were facing a great enemy.
At the same time, a series of messages appeared in front of Su Nan.
[An unknown danger is approaching, panic is spreading rapidly. Even though you don’t know what’s going on, you realize that you might die here if you don’t do something about it.]
[Novice Task has been activated, Task Panel is now accessible.]
[Personal Information Panel is now accessible.]
[Personal Space is now accessible.]
“The Novice Task is here!”
Su Nan’s eyes lit up. From the forum, he already knew that the main gameplay of this game revolved around tasks.
Players could upgrade their game characters by completing daily tasks and mainline tasks.
“Open the task list.”
Without any hesitation, Su Nan summoned the task list through his consciousness.
[As an outsider, you are protected by Heaven and Earth. You can gain power by completing Novice Tasks.]
[Please choose any one of the following tasks to complete, and unlock subsequent Daily Tasks and Mainline Tasks.]
[Novice Task One: Escape from Cell No. 19.]
Task Difficulty: Two-star.
Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra.
[Novice Task Two: Kill a prison guard.]
Task Difficulty: Three-star.
Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, 15 Demon Points.
[Novice Task Three: Kill the Uncontrolled Warrior.]
Task Difficulty: Four-star.
Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, 30 Demon Points, Technique Seeds.
[Note: Tasks refresh daily. The selection and completion of Novice Tasks will directly affect the opening of subsequent Mainline Tasks and Daily Tasks, so please choose carefully.]
Among the three tasks, Su Nan could choose any one. After a quick glance, he immediately found it strange.
“Aren’t Novice Tasks mainly one-star difficulty tasks? I have a three-star difficulty task here, and even a four-star difficulty task?”
“Why are there no one-star difficulty tasks?”
In the Demon World, the task difficulty levels range from one-star to four-star, with four levels of difficulty within each task.
Whether there are higher levels above four-star difficulty is not yet known.
In the forum, most players get one-star level tasks, and only a very small number of players can get two-star level tasks.
Even so, many people have not been able to complete one-star level tasks up to this point.
Players who can get three-star level tasks might exist, but they are extremely rare.
As for four-star level tasks, they are unheard of.
“This isn’t right. My Novice Task even has a four-star task. This is outrageous!”
“Is it because there is something wrong with the place where I started the game?”
Su Nan suddenly thought of a possibility.
This possibility was highly likely. If the place he was in was not a novice map but an advanced one, even the simplest tasks would be extremely difficult for him at this stage.
“Starting with a four-star level task, is it good luck or bad luck for me?”
Su Nan remained silent. The game’s tasks were extremely difficult, so much so that many players could not complete tasks and simply quit the game.
Although he inherited another player’s talent at the beginning, he was not so arrogant as to think that he could complete tasks that other players couldn’t based on this talent alone.
His gaze swept across the three tasks, and he did not make a choice immediately.
The Novice Task was of great importance, and choosing required careful consideration.
Rewards in the game consisted of three parts: bloodline, Demon Sutra, and demon power.
Bloodline was the foundation for cultivation. Only with a bloodline could you cultivate the Demon Sutra, which in turn required demon power to advance.
In his three tasks, the two-star task had two rewards- bloodline and Demon Sutra, while the three-star task offered another reward of 15 demon power points.
The rewards for the four-star task were even greater, giving not only 30 demon power points more than the two-star task but also an additional Technique Seed.
Such rewards were nothing short of generous.
“Perhaps this is also a good thing. The higher the task difficulty, the more generous the rewards.”
“And since the Novice Task is related to future Mainline Tasks, if I can complete a two-star Novice Task, the subsequent Mainline Tasks will surely be no easy feat.”
Su Nan quickly adjusted his mentality and comforted himself.
Most players haven’t even completed their Novice Tasks yet. If he could complete a two-star, or even a three-star task, he might catch up with most players, even if he joined the game later than them.
This might be his chance.
With this in mind, Su Nan quickly summoned his Personal Information Panel.
He wanted to see what kind of talent he had inherited.
