Chapter 1 Our Family Has Fallen

Chapter 1 Our family has fallen...

Lin Bei seemed to have had a dream while he was in a daze.

In the dream, his name was Lance, and he lived in a world similar to the medieval society.

Both his parents were scholars who studied ancient history, and they wandered around the ruins of the world all year round, and he was entrusted to an old professor to take care of him.

Until the news of his parents' disappearance came from afar, Lance also grew up under the care of the old professor, and became an ancient scholar influenced by the materials left by his parents.

But before Lance graduated from the college and embarked on the road to find his parents, a letter was delivered to him.

The messenger was an old man who called himself a butler. He was hunched and thin, wearing a pair of worn round-frame glasses. Although his clothes were old, he could still vaguely see the glory of the nobles in the past.

For some reason, looking at his stiff smile gave people a terrible feeling like a zombie just crawling out of the grave.

He conveyed family news that I had never heard of before. My noble distant relative passed away, leaving behind a huge inheritance and vast territory waiting for my inheritance.

Just when I was surprised that such a good thing happened to me, the special mark on the wax seal of the letter made me feel uneasy.

It was a mark of a half arc divided by five short lines. I could not identify it even after searching through the knowledge in my memory.

Although I felt uncomfortable, for some reason I still opened the envelope, hoping to learn about distant relatives and the inheritance.

Until I saw that sentence.

"Our family has fallen..."

I remembered it, I remembered everything!

At this moment I understood the terrible truth of this world. (Virtue of the Thorn Crown)

"Shit! This broken game won't let me go even in my dreams."

Lin Bei suddenly woke up as if he had a nightmare, but what he saw was not the familiar room, and the violent turbulence reminded him that he was constantly moving.

By the chandelier emitting dim light, Lin Bei saw that this was a dim wooden carriage, and there were two people sitting in front of him.

A man wearing full armor of a medieval knight, with a long sword leaning against his body, and the cross pattern in front of him indicated that this person had a church background.

Another man in an old leather coat, with a scarf wrapped around his neck to cover half of his face below his eyes, a short sword on one side of his waist and an antique short-barreled flintlock on the other.

Looks like~ Too much like...

The strange dream just now and the scene in front of him gave Lin Bei a bad premonition. He looked down at his clothes. On the outside, he was wearing a waisted coat with a medieval style, with a fine linen lining inside, and narrow trousers and riding boots underneath.

Turning his head to look out the window, there was only a dark haze. The glass mirror reflected a handsome black-haired young man, who had a somewhat weak temperament of a scholar.

The lights on the carriage were blocked by the darkness after only two or three meters, but the twisted trees and randomly placed tombstones on the roadside could still be vaguely seen.

No way!

Seeing this, Lin Bei already knew what happened, but he still forced himself to find the letter from his body to seek the final comfort.

When he saw the first sentence, he could only accept the reality.

He traveled through time, and he traveled to the world of the game.

Lin Bei, an ordinary person who was playing games in front of the computer the previous second, became the heir Lance who was running on the old road the next second.

But this discovery made him panic. The indescribable pressure was like a boulder pressing on his chest. Even breathing made him exhausted and almost had heart failure.

If he really went to accept the noble inheritance, he would laugh to death. Although the Middle Ages were chaotic, inheriting the noble inheritance was equivalent to jumping from an ordinary person to the noble class all at once. At that time, he would be exploited severely and that was it. This good thing could still be his turn!

But the problem was that the main theme of the world view in the game he traveled through was despair and darkness.

The main plot was that an old ancestor who was tired of extravagant life spied on the ancient god under the old house, and then began to dig, explore and study, and directly or indirectly created many troubles in the process.

After seeing the evil god sealed underground, the old ancestor began to lay out in order to become a god, leaving a letter to throw all the troubles to the protagonist of the game, asking him to start killing in the territory in the name of the family, and all the creatures that died on this land would provide power for the old ancestor to become a god.

Players will fight against unimaginable enemies, famine, disease and the pressure that constantly erodes their minds, and finally kill the ancestors to stop the evil god from coming to the world to destroy it.

No one here knows better than him that what he inherited is not a noble territory, but a meat grinder that devours flesh and blood.

There are enemies, beasts, evil, demons, blood descendants... all kinds of monsters and ghosts hidden in it, and they have to fight famine, curses, plagues, and human nature.

Being abused in the game at least retains the opportunity to restart and accumulate experience and strength, but if you really live in this world full of despair and destined to be destroyed, it is basically a dead end.

Thinking of this, Lin Bei couldn't help but hold his head with both hands and grab his thick black hair.

I want to go home~ (torture)

"Ding! The service you subscribed to is online, please check."

But the voice that came from nowhere made him sweep away his anxiety just now, and on the contrary, he showed an ecstatic expression.

Looking at the panel in front of him, he understood that the plug-in had arrived.

…………

Name: Lance Hamlet

Occupation: Otherworldly Dependent

Level: Traveler

Equipment: Empty

Skills:

[Sacrifice]: Sacrifice the enemy to an unknown existence to obtain a gift

[Blessing]: Consume the gift and grant enhancement

Trait:

[Shelter]: Your soul is protected by an unknown existence and is not eroded

[Ancient Bloodline]: The blood flowing in your body allows you to gain inspiration far beyond that of ordinary people

[Inheritor]: The identity of a noble heir makes you convincing

[Gifted]: Your strong talent improves your learning efficiency

…………

"So my name is Lance now~"

Living in the modern era of information explosion, he has a strong ability to receive and grasp information, and quickly accepted his current identity, while extracting some key points from the panel.

[Alien Dependent] is a profession that has never been seen in the game. From the word "Dependent" combined with the description of the skill [Sacrifice], it can be seen that it involves an unknown and powerful existence, which is probably the key to his own crossing and plug-in.

Level represents the quantification of strength. In the game, the traveler is a level 0 blank board, and above it there are apprentices, braves, elites, masters, champions, and legends.

The difference between skills and traits is that one is active and the other is passive, and traits can reflect the origin to some extent.

[Shelter] and [Gifted] correspond to immunity to pressure and doubled experience to some extent.

In addition, [Ancient Bloodline] corresponds to the special bloodline in Lance.

It is not a good thing to have too much inspiration in a story with the background of Cthulhu mythology.

I am afraid that this family bloodline hides some secrets, so the ancestor will show extraordinary characteristics, and with the blessing of blood brew, he can even peek into the seal of the evil god buried deep underground.

But all these have to be put aside for now. Now his first priority is to find a way to survive from this world.
