THE FAIRIES I FLIRTED WITH IN THE GAME BECAME REAL?!

The hidden paradise in the eyes of the world, a peaceful haven far from strife, was actually a Land of Curse filled with curses and evil spirits?

The truth was so unexpected it made Li Muyang’s brows knot tightly.

If the Ark Beyond the World was so sinister, why had it become regarded as a peaceful haven?

Had the people on the Ark Beyond the World already been replaced by evil spirits?

—Realizing it was a horror game, countless elements of Chinese horror sprung to mind for Li Muyang.

That was why he was reluctant to get involved with horror games.

He was too prone to overthinking.

Once he played something with horror elements, he would think more and more terrifying thoughts, growing more and more frightened until he scared himself.

Quickly shaking his head to dispel those terrifying guesses, Li Muyang muttered to himself, “Anyway, let’s go in and see what’s going on…”

Judging from the opening CG of the game, this Ark Beyond the World was indeed related to the ancient immortals.

In the CG, the Ark was monopolized by a blurred-faced Immortal Venerable.

In the end, was this Immortal Venerable cursed to death by the other immortals, with no place for burial because he monopolized the Ark?

Then, the final BOSS of the game must be this Immortal Venerable, right?

Li Muyang pondered the content of the game and clicked on [Start Game].

As he entered the game, darkness flooded in like a tide.

About two seconds later, the darkness slowly receded.

And the environment surrounding Li Muyang had changed dramatically.

At that moment, he stood on a barren piece of land.

In front of him, a chilling wind howled, and within the blowing sand, ghostly, mournful wails could faintly be heard.

Behind him lay a precipice-like void.

This scene was clearly at the edge of the Ark Beyond the World.

Had he actually arrived on the Ark?

But the Ark Beyond the World within sight was starkly different from the one in reality.

In reality, the Ark Beyond the World was picturesque with Spiritual Energy converging, truly a rare and hidden paradise.

However, the one Li Muyang saw was rough, dilapidated, and on the verge of collapse, with dark and chilling winds blasting over the cracked, desolate earth, and shrill, piercing howls coming from the depths of the Black Wind Sand.

Far in the distance, numerous huge ghostly figures could be seen wandering deep in the sandy wind.

This was in complete opposition to the real Ark Beyond the World, a truly sinister and dangerous place.

Li Muyang observed for quite a while, but there was no storyline. He opened the system interface and found out there was no mission panel and not even a character attribute panel.

Inside the system interface, there were only two options: [Backpack] and [Destiny].

Opening the backpack revealed it was completely empty.

And opening the Destiny interface, it turned out to be a skill tree-like interface for assigning points.

But the skill tree was now completely blank, with no elements at all.

This was definitely the worst start Li Muyang had ever had.

Not even a bowl at the start, and no system prompts either.

Li Muyang frowned and looked around in contemplation when suddenly, a line of text appeared in the upper right corner of his vision.

[Wu Ming: …I have to go in, to prevent the tragedy from happening.]

Seeing this line of text suddenly appear, Li Muyang was stunned.

“…Is this me talking?”

Or rather… is the game protagonist talking?

Li Muyang looked at his body only to discover he was actually a skeleton, with not a single piece of flesh on him.

The pale skeleton stood alone in the midst of the sand and wind, with the grit from the wind striking against the bones, making a crisp, stinging sound.

“Although I’ve played many protagonists, it’s my first time being a skeleton…”

Li Muyang tried jumping on the spot and discovered that the skeletal body was very light, almost weightless; he could jump three meters high with one hop.

—But that was the only thing that was light.

The fragile skeleton had no mana, not even the skeleton’s structural integrity was high.

Li Muyang swung his hammer against the ground with all his strength and actually shattered the tips of all five fingers on his right hand, sending tiny pieces of phalanges flying everywhere.

Li Muyang was somewhat speechless, “This weak?”

He finally managed to collect the scattered phalangeal bones and put them back in place before stepping into the winds and sands ahead.

Getting familiar with the key bindings at the start was his usual practice when playing games.

But this time, the protagonist was frighteningly feeble.

Following the conventions of the game, if he continued forward, he should encounter a beginner’s guide, a beautiful fairy who would help him unlock his skill tree and gain power.

Then he would embark on the path of leveling up by slaying monsters and bosses.

— That was Li Muyang’s original plan.

However, as he walked into the winds and sands and saw the dark shadow ahead, he stopped in his tracks.

What appeared in the winds and sands was not an NPC to guide him but a huge, rotting brown bear.

This massive brown bear had several wounds on its body, with rotting flesh and even a piece of intestine dragging along.

But that did not stop it from charging over and crushing Li Muyang into debris with one stomp.

[You have died, game over]

“Damn! Why is there a brown bear here? And it’s a zombie bear!”

Li Muyang looked at the game over screen somewhat speechlessly and chose to continue the game.

Familiar darkness engulfed him once again, and after a scene transition, Li Muyang returned to the starting point.

He stood at the edge of the Ark Beyond the World, with roaring Black Wind Sand coming from ahead and the vast shadows of ghosts wandering in the depths of the sand, along with continuous, eerie wails.

“So I have to move faster, or I’ll run into the brown bear if I’m too late?”

Li Muyang muttered to himself, and this time, without waiting for the protagonist prompt, he started running directly into the winds and sands.

Soon, Li Muyang arrived at the spot where he had previously suffered a violent death.

In the howling winds and sands, what appeared in Li Muyang’s field of vision was a row of the brown bear’s footprints and the crushed and scattered eerie white bones beneath them.

Looking at the pile of white bone fragments, Li Muyang paused for a moment.

“Huh?”

Why are there bones this time?

Could it be…

He turned sharply, and suddenly two blood-red eyes emerged from the sands behind him.

Following that was the large dark silhouette of the zombie brown bear.

Li Muyang held his forehead, his face aching.

“Damn it…”

The massive zombie brown bear, roaring, charged over and smashed him into pieces.

[You have died, game over]

The game over CG popped up again, and Li Muyang instantly cut it off and re-entered the game.

Still at the edge of the Ark Beyond the World, with howling winds and sands ahead.

Li Muyang ran straight forward, returning once more to the place of his two violent deaths.

Sure enough, there was another pile of white bone fragments.

He had died violently twice here, leaving behind two piles of white bones.

And as Li Muyang turned his head, the large dark shadow of the zombie brown bear emerged from the winds and sands as expected…

[You have died, game over]

“… Great, I understand this game now.”

Li Muyang massaged his temple, looking at the game over screen in his view, not in a hurry to enter the game.

After dying violently three times, he finally confirmed something.

This game had no reloads!

Instead, the protagonist was an undead who kept reviving!

Or more accurately, an undead skeleton!
