Starting with a dead apostle, unlocking the game system and still needing to upgrade? Author: Dai Dai wants to sleep Summary: The Dead Apostles were weakened, but not completely destroyed. Victor, a man who traveled through time and aspired to become a great magician, was unexpectedly forced to embark on a path he had never imagined. It was branded with the curse of the Embrace. "I am helpless to see them change sides just like that." Victor was holding his hair in his hands, looking at the fierce-looking "superior" in the corner with a headache on his face, who seemed to be ready to kill him if they disagreed with him, and said helplessly: "By the way, how did you, a dignified True Ancestor of the Dead Apostles and a true princess, end up in this state?" ……………… Semi-game system, the protagonist's innate ability (source) is [gamification], and as the ability improves, unlocks include but are not limited to maps, dungeons, teams, and even card drawing systems.
Semi-time travel, the copy system includes major event simulations, gates to other worlds, challenges from powerful enemies, etc. Semi-invincibility is a common problem among certain authors. It emphasizes logic rather than being brainless. A small setback is sometimes for a bigger plan. A semi-villain, the protagonist prioritizes self-interest, but doesn't mind showing a little kindness once in a while. However, he is not a saint, and is in the camp of the dead apostles and the selfish magicians. Chapter 1: Instances and Game Systems Boom—boom— The dark purple stars stirred up the dark clouds, and thunderstorms accompanied by huge water droplets exploded in the sky— "Rush!!" "Stop them—" Along with the unwilling howls and sounds of fighting, the continuous rain and the sound of close combat between the soldiers formed a wonderful drumbeat, and a symphony filled with blood and despair was slowly played. Blood is flowing and drums of war are beating. Victor's cold eyes revealed a bit of madness. He let a bolt of lightning and an arrow pass through his face, causing blood to bloom, but he ignored it and fiercely thrust the sword in his hand into the ground! The whistling sound in the distance penetrated the gaps in the thunderstorm, and the spiral tornado rolled up the yellow sand, green grass, and the scarlet water marks to form a solid barrier around him. Arrows exploded in the distance, four or five purple thunders fell, and a shadow flashed across the sky. It was a galloping figure. She coldly retracted the bow and arrow, looked sternly at the man on the battlefield filled with mud, broken limbs and blood, narrowed her eyes silently, and pulled the bowstring. Aiming and locking on with murderous intent, the meaning is self-evident. Behind the man, countless corpses dyed the ground red like a sea of blood, but were quickly washed away by the falling rain. A soft and cool tentacle silently emerged and touched the scar on Victor's face. The wound quickly healed under the cool feeling. It was an aquatic elf leaping lightly in the air like a jellyfish. Its transparent and clear body was completely different from the storm around it raised by Victor. He turned his eyes slightly, looked at the pink-haired girl in the distance, and nodded slowly. Of course— The next moment, thunder exploded from the sky, and a sharp arrow crackled with purple lightning, directly piercing through his storm barrier.
Victor narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze locked on the enemy general standing on top of the cloud, and the sword in his hand was aimed at the arrow. At this moment, he heard a sound like falling leaves in the wind. Another elegant young man came in at some point, and with a violent whirlwind, he chopped the arrow with the sword in his hand with a bang! "what!" The young man fell to the ground, and the arrow that flashed with thunder lost its luster: "Don't let the wind, rain and villains... stop you from moving forward." "Crow." The pink-haired general whispered softly in his ear: "Go forward... there is only one chance... "You are now... hope." "I understand." Victor lowered his eyes silently, no longer paying attention to the girl's slightly hopeful look - he clenched the sword in his hand, and a green pendant on his arm burst out with green light. Step and run! The invisible wind automatically followed his steps. With one strike of the sword, the blood of the enemies in front of him gushed out. With every step, the heads of groups of soldiers were separated. At that moment, his heart seemed to stop beating, and his eyes were fixed on the blood-covered steps and - the city gate in front of the once prosperous city wall. The enemy general standing on the cloud-high city wall saw this scene and silently drew his bowstring again. This is your only chance. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward, beheading the enemies who blocked his way one by one. When he raised his head and locked his eyes with the front, a figure slowly stepped out of the city gate. His bloodstained light clothes were reflected in the other person's narrow, cold and arrogant eyes. The general who had drawn his bowstring to lock onto him was slightly stunned, and put away his bow in astonishment: "...General..." "If you can block this knife, I will accept your audience and listen to your advice—" She stood proudly in front of the city gate, looking down at the young man who was advancing in the wind and rain. …… Is it finally here? Hearing this, Victor pursed his lips slightly and sighed. This was the second challenge of a six-month dungeon... In that familiar memory, the plot that the skippers never cared about now stands in front of them like a chasm. As my thoughts raced, the sky darkened. The next moment, he only felt that between the sky and earth raging with thunder and lightning, it seemed as if everything had been lost, leaving only the fleeting flash of lightning in front of him, just like his fleeting... consciousness. In an instant, the magic circuits all over his body burst into infinite light, and his last trump card made him burn his own vitality to burst out a power system unique to another world. Water, endless water surged in, swallowing up the sky, but—— That one blow of the sword still easily cut through the tsunami-like force. Ah, it’s still not enough… or rather, it’s still too difficult to pass the level by force! In an instant, this thought flashed through his mind before he fell into darkness. ……
"..." In a remote town somewhere in England, Victor's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and then he fell into thought. As a third-rate magician, challenging the dungeon is really too much of a stretch, isn't it? Victor looked blankly at the old wooden ceiling, listened to the sound of raindrops dripping beside his ears, and sighed helplessly. The road to becoming a great magician is long and arduous! Tsk, that’s difficult. Victor curled his lips. He actually traveled through time. Just five minutes ago in real time, he had no choice but to accept the reality and lowered his head to study his "benefits of time travel". A gaming system. In other words, a game system was forcibly developed by a damn dog planner who cut countless functions. Map (M), Quest (J), Skill (L), Character (I), Backpack (B), Mall (P) and Dungeon (T). Seven panels. Also, the light golden digital talent point (3), sky blue attribute point (5), and red source crystal (10) in the upper right corner. It looks normal, right? It has everything it should have, right? But what if these seven panels are all gray and require talent points to activate? And just activating it is not enough, you still need to use talent points to upgrade it. Although it has not been activated yet, when Victor tentatively clicked on the map panel and found that it began to sprout like an illusory seed and grew into a lush "skill tree" in an instant - do you know how shocked and how much he roared in his heart? Is this a training mechanism that a normal carbon-based breeder planner could come up with? ! ! The abilities that follow are all question marks, but the few lines at the beginning have already shown the nature of this crappy game— The first is the core [Magic Perception]: When it is lit up and the map function is turned on, it will automatically light up and learn the core skill [Magic Perception]. This expertise has no consumption. Then there are three branches: Specialty [Focused Observation], after being lit, the magic perception range is additionally enhanced by 50%. This specialty consumes 2 talent points. Expertise [Magic Acumen]: After being activated, magic perception will be more sensitive to other magic sources. This expertise consumes 1 talent point. Skill [Enemy Search], after lighting up, you will gain the skill Enemy Search, consume some magic power to enhance perception. Within a certain period of time, any hostile target entering the perception range will be marked and highlighted on the minimap. This feat requires 5 talent points. Note, this skill has an additional feature - solidification. This skill is a system rule type and is not affected or enhanced by any other skills. Then behind these three branches, there are dense question marks and a small lock, which indicates that - [After lighting up the current expertise/skill, the next stage will be opened. ] Damn it!! It must be said that all three specialties are very useful, especially the third skill. Victor is well aware of how terrifying it is to have the ability to retrieve the enemy's position with 100% certainty and expose it, but the problem is... out of five talent points, he only has three in total now. He couldn't even unlock all seven panels, let alone upgrade. Therefore, he had to prioritize three functions as his initial system, and he chose [Character], [Task] and [Copy].
He didn't know whether his choice was stupid or smart, but it was indeed a choice he made after considering many aspects. The seven panels did not conceal their initial functions. [Map] was to gain magical perception, something he already knew a little bit about. Although it was not as powerful as the system, even a half-baked magician could use magic to obtain information. [Task] is to unlock the task trigger function, which will randomly trigger the task according to the current encounter, and there are daily tasks in the subsequent branches. Although the difficulty and reward of this task are not high, it is stable. You can get source crystals and experience every day, and the source crystals can be exchanged for talent points later, so Victor chose it without hesitation. [Skills] Needless to say, it allows Victor to forcibly improve his skill level through practice. Later, although Victor guessed that he could use this system to learn a lot of unique skills and even forbidden magic at a high level, the problem is that at a low level, Victor, who has already mastered a lot of magic knowledge, believes that its role should be put in the back. [Character] needs no further explanation. It can display the current status of the protagonist and prevent various diseases, poisoning, and even various adverse buffs such as magic reactions. Most importantly, if the character panel is not unlocked, it means that Victor cannot add points - he has not forgotten that he still has five attribute points to add. As for the rest, the [Mall] is an open purchase and recharge system. There is nothing on the purchase interface yet, and any special purchases needed need to be unlocked later. Recharge is even more useless because the code it requires is "source substance", the origin of the world. Everything can be converted into source substance, but the source substance of a stone, a table, or even a corpse is almost negligible on the scale of the system. As for valuable things, Victor feels that he will definitely not be able to get them in a short time. The primary function of the [Backpack] is to grant the skill [Space Ingestion], which has a capacity of ten grids. In a sense, this is a magical skill, which made Victor entangled for a long time. As for the [Copy], it is a random copy challenge. Successful challenges can get a lot of rewards, and because it is a virtual simulation, the host will not be in danger—— Without explaining the difficulty of the challenge and the cost of failure, Victor was naturally eager to give it a try. After all, what he lacked most at the moment was the talent points that could unlock all functions. But who could have thought. Victor smiled bitterly, glanced at the panel where all his ability points were added to magic power, and shook his head slightly. If you can't pass even if you try your best, even at the cost of your life, then there is nothing you can do. Thinking of this, Victor glanced at the copy interface with an idea - he saw that the original copy of the copy interface [Facing the Power of Thunder] had turned into ashes and slowly dissipated, and was replaced by a big question mark with a huge countdown of 59 days and 23 hours. Two months of cooling-off period, Victor sighed. But... he frowned again soon. After failing the copy, couldn't he challenge it again? what is this? Chapter 2: Dead Apostles He suddenly felt a little disappointed, not because the copy entered a cooldown period, nor because the copy disappeared, which resulted in the loss of the reward. It was because he was inexplicably worried... worried about the people in the copy. After all, it was clearly another world in his memory, and now that he thought about it, it was a little too real in terms of details. You know, he stayed in the copy for nine months, a full nine months. If it weren't for the copy countdown in his eyes reminding him all the time, he would have thought that he had traveled through time again five minutes after traveling through it. During these nine months, in order to complete the so-called copy challenge - to face the power of Thor, he, who knew part of the plot, almost risked his life to break into the rebel camp and delivered a lot of verbal attacks to their leader who was of amazing wisdom and strategy. And then... he was locked up. So, all the claims that one can be invincible with just empty talk are just lies. Victor touched his chin slightly irritably and subconsciously looked at his wrist. There... was where he wore the Eye of God in the dungeon. Didn't bring anything out... Come to think of it, it seems impossible that I can overcome that level of difficulty at the moment. Is it possible that my method of passing the level is wrong? Victor continued to reflect - his verbal attacks were not completely useless. He was locked up for a whole week. During this period, he was not stupid enough to use the magician's tricks to escape. Instead, he waited quietly. At least he knew the other party's situation and his eagerness to recruit talents.
Sure enough, a week later, he was asked to leave by the other party and had another secret talk. This time, he came up with something different - or rather, he had been revising his wording and ideas over and over again for a whole week. He put forward many advanced ideas. He suggested that the other party change "in order not to lose the dream" to "for the dream", and suggested that the other party be more strict with themselves and take the people's hearts into basic considerations. I racked my brains to figure out how to incite the people and steal their hearts, but... In response to all this, the other leader just listened with a smile, then shook his head slightly.
