Chapter 3: Misfortune (I)

In the darkness, suddenly a beam of light illuminated the path under Ivan's feet, and slowly spread out, leading into the depths of darkness.

Ivan in the light is the appearance of a little Shota, exactly what he looked like when he was a child.

Ivan walked the white path into the dark depths, and Ivan looked back to see the darkness swallowing up the path he had walked.

I don't know how long I walked, but Ivan got older and older, and the road branched more and more, and the time came to the day when he was 18 years old.

The same road appeared not far away, and the figure that made Ivan miss appeared on the road - Zhang Xiaoyu, she is a lovely girl, petite with a ponytail, speaking with a glutinous accent, and always accompanied by a faint fragrance.

Ivan sat at the table in front of her, and for the first time Ivan realized that this girl was the one she was performing for the girls at the table, her soft fingers, skin as if she were boneless. She can hold her hand to an unbelievable level, and Ivan can't help but worry about whether her hand will break, but Ivan's worry is unnecessary, and Zhang Xiaoyu seems to be comfortable with this matter.

In the days that followed, gradually, Ivan fell in love with the girl.

Until the advent of the college entrance examination, life slapped Ivan hard, and the road between the two of them gradually drifted apart under the light.

Some people say I'd rather the two of them be a parallel line, and even though they won't intersect, at least I can keep looking at her.

Ivan's father was one of the chefs in charge of the state banquet, and his mother was a civil servant. After graduating from the undergraduate program, Ivan got involved in the catering industry with the help of his father's friends, and Ivan did have a talent for this area, and for several years he was a well-known chef in the industry, but not limited to chefs. He formed his own catering team, because Ivan found that no matter how hard a person worked, it was difficult to compare with the team's cooperation, so he put down his body and invited many talents to form this team, which is one of the reasons why Ivan was chosen.

"N-don't go." Ivan shouted. Ivan ran towards her with all his might, but he stayed where he was, and the distance between the two gradually increased, leaving only Zhang Xiaoyu's smile slowly disappearing into the darkness.

"No... No... No! Ivan gasped and rose from the wooden bed padded with animal skins. With his right hand on his head, he got out of bed tremblingly.

"Huh... I had that dream again. Looking out of the window, which was white, Ivan smiled bitterly at himself.

"However, when this world is reborn, everything is different, and if you can't go back to the past, let it pass." Ivan said to himself.

The port was crowded. Merchants, hawkers, and dock workers bustle with crews up and down, creating an uninterrupted flow of people. Exotic animals howl mournfully in iron cages, and their fate is to become entertainment in the Colosseum, or a collection of curiosities in the courtyards of wealthy families. Food from all corners of the Runeterra was unloaded from trade ships in droves and distributed to feed the countless inhabitants of Isad's barren homeland. It's an amazing sight, the estuary of new goods, new cultures, and new ideas flowing into the empire, making it expand, enrich, and make it stronger.

After receiving the scroll thrown to her by Okari, Kaliyah began preparations for the war.

Looking at the tall and large battleship, Kaliya smiled confidently, looking at the immortal fortress in the distance, believing that he would one day be qualified to stand there.

"Quickly load the cargo and get the crew ready to go." Kaliya's expression changed to seriousness, and he gave a solemn order.

The crowd prepared in an orderly manner, and after a while, with the waves on both sides, the warship sailed towards the land of Ishtar, which was surrounded by two mountain peaks.

"By the way, you know, this time we are going to face these strange Vastayas again, and I heard that the Vastayas have the ability to transform this time." Said a man with a heavy tomahawk. "Yes, the ability of the Vastayas this time is very difficult. However, the head has already planned, and when the time comes, an order will be given, and Molotov cocktails will be thrown at their tribe, and whoever doesn't throw it will be killed hahaha. The other man replied. Even if we don't look at our boxes of equipment, how can the stupid natives of Vasaya compare with us. The three of them looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Boxes of baggage were brought down, and as Noxus' forces marched toward Ishtar. They landed in the southern part of Ishtar, more than a thousand kilometers from their destination.

Touching the totem, Ivan asked Niko, "Does your totem have any meaning?" "Secretly urging the system, you can take the opportunity to steal a part of the natural magic power of the Vastaya Chaos in the totem." We Vastaya people are the descendants of humans and Vastaya Sere, and the image on the totem is the appearance of our shape-shifters. Niko explained.

The days in the Wuwei tribe are very fulfilling, and the hunting team in the village is very profitable every day, and I also have a deeper understanding of this magical country.

After a few days in the Mistails, Ivan left the Misty Tails and began to follow the map given to him by the Mistail Patriarch and set out to the port south of Ishtar, intending to sail to Bilgewater, a port city where there were no laws.

A portion of the energy stolen from the Mistail Totem allowed Ivan to repair the system's character templates, shop templates, and quest templates.

Name Ivan

Race: Human

Item: Hextek Revolver, Life Potion, ×2, Amorphous Shape, Reshaping Scroll, Valoran, Universal Language Translator

Ivan looked at the 700 points he had accumulated over the past few days, and he knew about them these days, and he could earn them by killing creatures and doing quests. "The system opens the store." Ivan said in his heart.

The shop refreshes once a week, and the items that can be redeemed are currently available

Longsword 350 (can be combined into a Vampire Scepter after opening the Synthesis template)

Lizard Elder's Gift 1000 (Attack deals extra damage and slows for 1 month)

Barrier 1500 (can be shielded on the target, absorbs a lot of damage, has a cooldown of 3 months)

Reusable Potion 75 (slowly regenerates one Life Potion per month)

Demaser 550 (fires a ray to kill enemies)

Ivan thought about it and bought the deplitter and the multiplexing potion, if the long sword is currently given by the Fogtail Clan, it can still deal with it, as for the lizard elder's gift and barrier, Ivan can only think about it. There are 150 points left, and for saving points to buy these things, Ivan's game experience in his previous life told him that there is no need, and it is the king to convert money into strength as soon as possible.

Dodging the swimming vines, Ivan walked out of this living dense forest, during which time Ivan's marksmanship has also improved considerably, and he can now shoot at a distance of 15 meters. Out of the dense forest, along the river, Ivan encountered a caravan bound for the southern port of Ishoken.

Seeing the ragged Ivan, the caravan guards' vigilance was relieved a lot, and they returned from the eastern continent of Shurima, and on the way they encountered an attack by a bandit group with heavy casualties, and this caravan could no longer withstand the toss.

Lin Shan, the captain of the guard, kindly accepted Ivan and invited him to go to the southern port with him, and Ivan gladly accepted the invitation.

"Hmph, I'm going to bring another burden again." Liu Tian, the leader of the caravan, thought dissatisfied, but if he wanted to rely on Lin Shan's support, he could only endure him first.

"Eh, little brother, do you know? The tribes began to stir up, as whispers came from the heart of the desert that it seemed that the city of Shurima was about to rise again. A skinny man said to Ivan. Is it? Shurima is rising? Ivan asked. I'm telling you ... The man gushed on
