What the hell is this world?

After Fang Zheng was killed for the Nth time, he sat by the campfire and was speechless.

At this moment, he has already felt the deep malice that this world has brought to him.

At first, Fang Zheng thought it was an ordinary-looking world, but now he doesn't think so anymore. If it was said that being killed by the knight for the first time was careless, then in the next few times, it was clear that Fangzheng was completely prepared, but he would still be ruthlessly pressed to the ground by the other party. However, these efforts were not in vain, and after several attempts, Fang Zheng found that the "bounce" that he had previously thought was useless was unexpectedly useful. Mastering this technique, he successfully blocked and rebounded the knight's attack, and then seized the opportunity to stab his opponent in the chest.

Originally, Fang Zheng thought that all this was over, but before he could draw his sword, he saw a strange black liquid suddenly emerge from behind the knight, and then twisted and condensed into a huge monster with a snake head, and then bit at him in one bite.

At that moment, Fangzheng's heart was broken.

At first, he thought it was a normal wasteland-like world.

Then, he felt that this should be an ordinary world with strong combat power.

But now......... What the hell is this monster!!

Do you have to fight such a huge, inhuman-like thing by slashing and slashing your sword?

The world is too desperate!!

Although there are monsters in the dark world, at least they have skill protection!

And here, I can only roll, block, cut? No skills, no magic, no artifacts, not even teammates yet?

The mentality explodes in an instant, okay!

It's a nightmare!

Fortunately, Fang Zheng remembered that he had come to this world to exercise his sword skills and consciousness, otherwise, he would have preferred to commit suicide. To survive in this kind of world, it doesn't just take a big heart.

Luckily, however, there is also a small refuge in this gloomy world. After defeating the knight with great difficulty, Fang Zheng passed through the gate and entered a place called the Fire Transmission Sacrifice Ground, where he met a young girl wearing an eye patch——— who called herself the Fire Girl. And from the mouth of the fire prevention girl, Fang Zheng also learned about the situation of this world.

The world was originally a chaotic place, but one day, a flame known as the First Fire was born, and people found the King's Soul by the First Fire, and defeated the ancient dragon with the power of fire. After that, the age of fire began, and mankind built a glorious civilization. However, the fire will eventually be extinguished, and in order to keep the flame burning, the hero with great power continues the burning of the flame with himself as firewood.

And now, all of this has come to an end.

The flame of inheritance has been extinguished, and the bell has sounded, awakening the ancient Salary King, who had fallen into a deep sleep.

However, they have abdicated their throne.

His duty is to defeat these salary kings and light the embers again.

After talking to the fireproof girl, Fang Zheng finally understood the general "setting" of this world, for example, this world is like a bonfire, which once burned, bringing light and warmth. But now, it's only a pile of ashes. All you have to do is find enough firewood to light the bonfire again......... Otherwise, it's all over.

It's really a desperate world.

But luckily, at least there was a soft girl like Firegirl to soothe Fangzheng's battered mind, at least much better than the musclesmith and the old witch, compared to her, these two guys were like undead trapped here——— and the guy who sat on the steps with his sword in his hand, muttering all day long and not knowing what he was talking about.

Originally, after the previous hard battle, Fang Zheng felt that he had mastered the skills of how to survive in this world, so he was content to follow the guidance of the fire girl and teleported to the walls of Lothric through the campfire, intending to start his next adventure. In fact, at the beginning, the monsters on the city wall did not pose any threat to Fang Zheng, even those undead people with big axes were easily repulsed by Fang Zheng, and then executed with a sword.

This made Founder's self-confidence begin to swell unprecedentedly......... Well, that's not right either, but at least, he feels like he's got the hang of how to fight.

Until he meets a guy named Knight of Lothric.

This guy was also the same as the knight Fang Zheng had seen before, dressed like a dog, but he couldn't communicate at all. The moment he saw Fangzheng, the knight immediately roared and rushed towards him.

Fang Zheng was no longer as surprised by this as before, he had already found that except for the few people in the Fire Transmission Sacrifice Ground, anyone he met outside seemed to be irrational beasts that could only fight, and they would fight when they saw him without saying a word. So Fang Zheng also stepped forward decisively, waving the shield in his hand and preparing to block the execution again.

But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that after the Lothric knight rushed over, he raised his shield and slapped him, directly knocking him unconscious, and then before Fang Zheng came to his senses, he saw the other party's hand raise and fall......... With a bang, the world was quiet.

Fang Zheng finally found that he was still a rookie in terms of using cold weapons.

He was able to defeat Stone before, relying on the special effects of the Royal Cross swordsmanship and Sky Breaking, although Stone also pointed out that Fang Zheng's shortcomings after this were that he did not have a deep understanding of the sword art itself, but Fang Zheng was still somewhat unimpressed. In his opinion, he actually didn't use all his combat skills, for example, if he gave himself an invincible attack and then rushed over to face Stone was a divine storm, the other party would probably die even worse.........

Not to mention, even if you encounter a strong enemy in the future, won't you still have a soul stone if you can't beat it?

But now, in this world, Fang Zheng knows for the first time how powerless he is.

Without the addition of soul stones, and without the ability to use paladin skills, he would be so weak!

How many times has he died since he came to this high wall?

Sitting in front of the campfire, Fang Zheng frowned, if he was still confident enough in his own strength before. So this encounter in this world, Fang Zheng finally realized how bad his true strength was. Thinking about it carefully, in the first battle of being reborn into this world, he relied on the power of the soul stone to avoid the scourge of killing. And in the dark world, he also relied on the soul stone to kill Magda, these are all brought to him by the system, but these are not completely his own powers, but the system gives him a plug-in.

Could it be that I was already a little lost before?

If at the beginning, Fang Zheng only came here with the attitude of exercising, then now, he has begun to seriously reflect on whether his previous ideas are correct. Do you need to rely on the help of the system for the rest of your life? Although the system can indeed give him a lot of help, if he is not strong, it is not in vain?

"It's still too careless........."

While shaking his head secretly, Fang Zheng stood up with a wry smile. He was not a warrior before he was reborn, and although he received military training, Fangzheng's duty was not to focus on bloody battlefields. So he wasn't very familiar with face-to-face combat itself, and Fang Zheng didn't think it was a problem, but now, he had discovered what he was missing.

Perhaps, this is the reason why the system chose this world for itself.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng clenched the long sword in his hand again, stood up and walked to the edge of the high platform, looking towards the city that had been reduced to ruins. The howling of the wind, the hoarse roar and heavy footsteps could be heard everywhere, and the walking corpse-like monsters still roamed the city, wielding weapons and trying to kill everything they saw.

Fang Zheng didn't know who the other party was originally, what they had done, and what they were fighting for, but now, there was only one thing that he knew very well.

That is, those who stand in his way are his enemies.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng clenched the long sword in his hand and strode towards the bottom of the stairs.
