Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

“Have you found treasures?”

Su Tianji was silent.

Bullet comments flooded the screen in her livestream room.

[Thanks to Entertainment Elder for the gift of ‘Awesome’.]

[Thanks to...]

“How did you die? How come so many people are showering you with gifts again?” Nalan Mingxue and the others were stupefied.

“I don’t know.” Su Tianji didn’t know what to say. “You guys come here. When I opened the treasure chest, it turned into a monster!”

“The chest turned into a monster?” After putting down her virtual reality headset, Nalan Mingxue looked over and saw on Su Tianji’s screen that the treasure chest stood up and changed into a pitch-black thin monster with a big tongue dangling out of its mouth. It was wandering in the room right now.

“We’re coming.” Using the same tactic, Nalan Mingxue dodged the huge dragon’s fire and dashed into the room. Then, she heard the monster’s deep snarls.

Then, she went downstairs.

Suddenly, she heard a strong wind howling sound!

Boom!

Nalan Mingxue felt as if her whole body was struck by a meteorite. Even the extremely hard wall behind her was shattered into dust.

Words appeared on her screen. [You died.]

“...” She was stupefied.

Even the viewers in the new shop were dazed.

“How come you’re dead too?” Song Qingfeng, who was still outside, froze.

“I was killed instantly!”

He looked over at Nalan Mingxue’s screen and saw that her whole body was smashed into the wall. “...”

Instantly, they sensed deep malice and a scheme.

“...”

...

Meanwhile, Mr. Fang had just beaten the boss before him to near-death and then put on the helm that resembled the mimic chests.

The description flashed across the item.

[Symbol of Avarice: Head of the avaricious creature that mimics treasure chests. The ancient godly race. The very form of this creature is thought to be a form of brand, a punishment for sin.]

Perhaps affected by the imminent fall of darkness, the dying flame, or the curse of the unkindled, they finally became such monsters after death.

...

Different from other games, in Dark Souls, the players could go through the main storyline without knowing anything except for linking fire. In fact, the players didn’t even need to know why they were doing this.

However, if the players collected the objects, items, and souls, they would get the complete story about the world by piecing together the information and clues that these things provided. These things contained countless heavy and dark stories from the ancient times.

After leaving Firelink Shrine, the players’ mission was to bring back the Lords of Cinder. In the meantime, the players embarked on a journey of exploration of the whole dark world.

Walking down the High Wall of Lothric, one could see a huge abandoned hall where the hard and thick floor had been smashed several feet down into the ground by something. Zong Wu, Gu Tingyun, and others stood in the hall with grim expressions.

A hill-like wild beast wearing thick ice armor roared before them with a huge hammer in its hand. It spat out frost air which instantly swept across the whole hall.

Meanwhile, Mr. Fang returned to the Firelink Shrine and handed a soul to the only remaining Lord of Cinders, Ludleth of Courland, who was a pygmy.

In Dark Souls, the pygmies referred to humans since all the other races were taller than humans)

The soul burned like flames. When it was picked up, there was the item description.

[Vordt was once an Outrider Knight who served under Pontiff Sulyvahn. He served alongside the Dancer of the Boreal Valley until their transformation.]

Soon, it was turned into a ring that had a weird black eye on it.

[Pontiff’s Right Eye: Bewitched ring that Pontiff Sulyvahn bestowed upon his knights. Knights who peer into the black orb are lured into battles of death, transformed into frenzied beasts.]

[No wonder the Pontiff only provides these rings to those dispatched to foreign lands.]

...

That was the general idea of the story.

If the players explored deeper into the world, they would gather more information about the plot little by little.

...

According to the progress of the game, the first Lord of Cinder that they would encounter was Farron’s Undead Legion, the Abyss Watchers...

Next, they would encounter Aldrich, who devoured gods.

Then, the Yhorm the Giant of the Profaned Capital.

Afteward, it was the Prince of Lothric.

The final part was the story of the main character, the nameless person without a past.

Right now, the players had just defeated the first few bosses and were at the stage of the ‘Abyss’ and ‘Farron’s Undead Legion’.

In fact, ever since their encounter with Gundyr, the players began to get in touch with the abyss. The horrifying people covered in pus were the result of the erosion by the abyss.

The power of abyss originated from darkness; it came even earlier than the first flame.

...

At this moment, Sala and other elves were progressing very slowly in the game, but it didn’t stop them from watching livestreams.

They were now sitting on the couches in the lounge area in a circle. “Look at this senior...”

Obviously, they were watching Nalan Hongwu’s livestream.

Nalan Hongwu had obviously played Dark Souls 1 and thus had more advantages over others.

The players walked out of the gate behind the Boreal Valley, flew over Lothric City which was divided into two halves by the broken mountain, and walked through the Crucifixion Woods and down the Road of Sacrifice. Then, they would reach Farron Keep.

This was the frontline of resisting the abyss.

Sala was now watching the livestream in which the crestfallen warrior in Firelink Shrine was telling the information about Farron’s Undead Legion with a mocking and somewhat sad tone.

“Gaining admission to the Legion is a matter of some ceremony. Inside their keep, snuffing out the flames of three altars opens the door to the wolf blood. Sworn by the wolf’s blood to contain the Abyss, the Legion will bury a kingdom at the first sign of exposure.”

...

The initial mission of Farron’s Undead Legion, Watchers of Abyss was monitoring the abyss.

When the bell tolled, they woke up from deep sleep. In confusion, they sensed the restlessness in the Abyss under Farron Keep and chose to perform their initial mission. They crawled out from their tombs and returned to their previous posts.

– On the screen of the livestream-

At this moment, more people walked over and stood behind them, including some newly arrived saint-level masters.

Sala glanced back. “So many people?”

At this moment, Nalan Hongwu controlled his character to push open the gate which had been sealed for many years.

They saw such a scene. Piles of corpses were inside, and the horrid army that could easily destroy a nation now only had a few of its members remaining standing.

The tall captain pierced one of its comrades through the chest with his huge sword, and the corpse slowly fell down.

Then, another one got up with dark eyes that had crimson lights flashing in them.

When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks into you.

None of them could escape the fate of being eroded by the abyss.

The unkindled resurrected endlessly, and the captain, the only one who had consciousness, had to kill his teammates again and again.

At this moment, he seemed to notice that someone had extinguished flames of three altars and came in through the gate

He slowly turned around. With his huge sword in his right hand pointing forward and his dagger in his left hand resting on his right arm, this man performed the unique greeting gesture of the Undead Legion.

To perform his obligation or accept the destiny to link the fire... all this would be decided by this battle.
