Chapter 514: Arad Continent
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
It was noon, and many people were playing games. However, with only a few games on the screen, the new game icon attracted many people’s attention.
After the incident with the three saint factions and the counterattack of Dajin, and the demon catastrophe in the Morning Star Sea Realm, the players in the Half City Shop and the Jiuhua City Shop included not only big forces but independent cultivators, independent warriors, and people of small and moderate forces from nearby areas.
After seeing that this game was free…
– In the Jiuhua City Shop –
An independent warrior sat before his computer and yelled, “Hurry up and look! This game doesn’t need activation to play!”
Someone had tried to click on the game. “It’s indeed free! I’m in the game now!”
While they were talking about it, some young masters from other cities had just entered the shop. Upon hearing this, they looked over and asked, “It’s free? Really?”
They exchanged a look. “Should we try it?”
…
– In the Yuanyang City Shop –
As a new player, Sia was very eager about this new game.
She immediately returned to her seat and clicked on the game.
While she waited patiently for the game to load, she heard crisp musical notes sounding by her ear, which were quite enjoyable.
Lou Piaoling who was sitting next to her looked over at the sounds. “What’s this?”
“The newly-released game. I want to try it.”
“A newly-released game?” Lou Piaoling started thinking once he heard that. In this morning, he asked around and got lots of information; he was still not familiar with this new stuff but wasn’t as ignorant as before.
A new game meant a new starting line and a chance to fairly compete with others.
Acutely, his sharp senses told him that something was unusual.
A new game that was just released? He had heard that in a virtual world such as the Legend of Mir 2, the players who entered the games before others would obtain lots of advantages.
Should I try it too?
At this moment, they entered the game with many other players from the three shops at the same time.
The Character-Creation Interface was decorated in the classical western style. On the bottom of the screen was a row of metal boxes, in which were complicated-looking, medieval emblems representing different classes. The sword represented Slayers, the gun represented Gunners, and the cross represented Priests…
It was only a game, but it gave people the feel of an ancient ceremony. When one class was chosen, the character for the class and the related introductions would appear on the screen.
It must be noted that, when the original game was first released, there were no Female Slayer, Female Gunner, Female Priest, Male Mage, and Male Fighter.
However, the virtual reality remake by the System was as real as it could be, and there was no chance for imposters. Therefore, in this remake version, there were both male and female characters for all five classes.
“Can this class use greatswords?” Sia clicked on the Female Slayer and started.
Lou Piaoling also chose Male Slayer.
Meanwhile, the guests from the Deserted Sea Realm had also started the game.
For example, Song Qingfeng chose the class of Fighter.
Xu Zixin chose to be a Female Gunner.
Tang Yu, Wang Xie, and others of the Spiritual State chose classes such as Male Gunner and Male Mage respectively after reading the introductions on each of the classes.
“Boss, what should I choose?” Jiang Xiaoyue stared at Mr. Fang questioningly, intending to choose the same class as Mr. Fang.
Fang Qi said after a moment of consideration, “You can choose Mage; I want to play Slayer.”
“Okay…” She chose to be a loli mage reluctantly.
This was an adventure story that happened on th eArad Continent.
When the crystal wind-chime-like music faded, players opened their eyes in the darkness and found that the world suddenly lightened.
The clouds before them scattered, and they looked down from the high sky, seeing a vast world of mountains and oceans. The sky was engulfed in an extremely huge magic array, and the distant tower reached high into the clouds. Faint shadows that looked like huge beasts moved behind the clouds, and everything showed that this continent was strange and special.
Even the warriors of the Ultimate West Realm were amazed.
“I feel like I’m in a new world! Is it really not a small world in a spiritual artifact?” Lou Piaoling asked in surprise.
He could feel wind flowing around him, and everything felt real at the touch. When he opened his eyes again, only fuzzy memories were left in him.
He remembered a vicious and bloody-red demonic hand, and the creepy atmosphere startled him out of his sleep as a cold corpse lay beside him
When he woke up, he found that he had fallen asleep leaning on a big tree in a huge forest.
Reaching out his hands, he found that his left hand was locked in a huge chain, and it looked vicious and bloody-red, giving him an ominous feeling. A huge sword that was as long as one person lay on the ground on his right. He was dressed in a simple short vest, which didn’t seem like his clothes.
“I’m…” Lou Piaoling shook his head and found some information and memories in his head. “Is this the Slayer?!”
With wonder and surprise, he looked at his left hand which seemed to contain demonic strength. “Kazan…?”
Dark-green skinned monsters walked out from the shadows in the forest and surrounded him.
Each character that the players controlled in the game came to this land with their own dreams and goals. The slayers wanted to find Kazan and seek revenge, male gunners were squeezed to a corner in the Empyreans and fell onto Arad, priests fought with the imposters of ‘Curse of Blood’ with holy missions, and the female slayers came to this land to seek revenge on the empire as the products of the empire’s Metastasis experiments…
The slayer on Luo Piaoling’s screen waved his huge sword and slaughtered all the goblins that surrounded him in the forest. The adventurers (players) who walked out of the forest would enter Elvenguard, the spawn place in the game.
It must be noted that the forest in the spawn place was an open map instead of a dungeon. A character called Seria would be rescued by the first group of adventurers, and she would be friendly to later adventurers because of that.
Elvenguard was a station built in the forest. Only when the players entered Hendon Myre riding in horse-drawn carriages would their adventures really began.
“Wow… It’s huge!”
The players saw a huge, prosperous city with white walls and red tiles. In the streets lined with many green plants thronged all kinds of pedestrians from all over the world, including adventurers, merchants, and scholars.
As a free city that advocated a magic civilization, Hendon Myre had many magic infrastructure and devices around the city.
Seeing the pedestrians walking on the streets and the prosperous scenes, the players all exclaimed in amazement.
On the street, many pedestrians were talking, and sometimes…
“Giggle… Boss, look at that guy! He’s so funny!” Jiang Xiaoyue pointed at a vendor on the street and giggled.
“Come on! Make money with money!” A cunning merchant with a weird pot on his head called out to people like Fang Qi and Jiang Xiaoyue in a croaky voice.
“I don’t believe your non-sense!” Jiang Xiaoyue snorted. While glancing around at the adventurers and pedestrians who were walking on the street, she said, “Boss, we’re here to look for Master Pungjin, right? Where is he?”
“He’s easy to find. He might yell ‘My name is Pungjin, and I’m a Wind Fist instructor!’” Fang Qi tried to mimic Pungjin’s voice.
A bald man, who was wearing yellow clothes and walking from the opposite direction, looked at them in disapproval. “I’m the Wind Fist Instructor Pungjin!”
“…” Mr. Fang felt embarrassed that it was so easy to find his target.
