Chapter 1: Escape

1325 Sacred Calendar, November, Severe Winter.

In the forest, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, against the wind and snow, on the narrow path, hard to advance, cold night, long road, the young man did not dare to stop for a moment. Before dawn, the earth is at its darkest.

"It's so cold!" A biting chill burrowed into Allen's body, "I can't fall here!" ”

Alan was wearing a coat that did not match his body at all, and the brown and black coat wrapped him like a small brown bear, and the smell of alcohol and blood on the clothes was from time to time, which made people feel disgusting. Wearing a pair of worn cowhide shoes under his feet, Allen's toes hurt, but the boy still gritted his teeth and struggled to move forward.

"A few kilometers later, escape to the town, and you can rest for a while." In the snowstorm, Alan kept reminding himself to stay conscious, if he fell unconscious in the reckless snow, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In the wind and snow, Allen's tired eyes were full of determination, silently thinking about what happened to him. A month ago, as the top legendary mage of the giant virtual game "Holy Continent", Allen led his team to break through the bloody dungeon and face the undead lord Saldor.

Under the attack of more than 100 professionals, regardless of life and death, Saldo fell into a state of weakness, and the undead aura dropped to the lowest point since the game was launched. The structurally stable underground palace suddenly collapsed at a critical moment, and Allen and Saldo were buried at the same time.

After waking up again, Alan was surprised to find that he had not entered the in-game temple of reincarnation, but had instead become a slave miner in the Bolton Mountains of the Northern Frost Lands. Not only did all the spells disappear in his body, but even his physical fitness had dropped to an outrageous level.

As a professional gamer, Allen's first reaction was to complain offline, but he found that he couldn't quit the game no matter what, and gradually, as time went on, Allen realized an unavoidable fact and traveled to the real world of the Holy Continent.

"What happened at the last moment in the bloody dungeon, before I fell unconscious, the huge tearing force, could it be the turbulence of time and space?" For a month, Alan tried to figure out the reason for his crossing, but the conditions were limited, as a level 2 slave miner, Alan no longer had the same way as before, using his powerful spiritual power to mobilize the elements for his own use.

"I didn't think that my soul would travel to a slave miner, it's really a trick of fate." Thinking about the glory of the game in the past, Alan sighed for a long time, and looked at his own attribute template, which made him even more embarrassed.

"Compared with the first time I entered the Sacred Continent, my intelligence is higher, but my perception is 10 points lower." Alan was very emotional, in the game, the mage profession has very strict requirements for intelligence and perception, and it is possible to complete the inauguration only if both attributes reach more than 15 points.

Is it destined that he will not have a chance to be a mage? For a professional mage, such an attribute is frustrating. However, the racial expertise of the miner slave gave Alan a new direction for his career development.

Soul Perception: The precious blood elf bloodline gives you a certain degree of soul perception ability.

Tenacity: You have a tenacious will, which allows you to maintain a rare level of sobriety when you are seriously injured.

For a player who is familiar with the state of career development in the Holy Continent, it can be seen at a glance that Eren now has the potential to become a summoner. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan to escape from the mine, and in order to survive, Alan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and became a warlock.

Of course, now is not the time to think about getting a job, for Allen, running for his life is the most important thing, if he does not find a warm place to rest quickly, Allen may fall into a coma due to continuous hypothermia.

Step by step, gritting his teeth, finally, in the midst of a cloud of frost, Alan saw a slightly wider dirt road. The wheel tracks on the ground prove to Allen that this is a path that humanity has blazed. Wrapped in a thick coat, he continued to move forward, and soon after, a wall more than four meters high appeared in front of Allen, and the town in his memory arrived.

It was still dark, and the gates of the town were closed. Alan had never been here, but from the memories of the slave miners, Alan knew that it was called the town of Combe, where more than 3,000 civilians lived, and that a mayor led the town, and that there was a patrol in the town.

There was still more than an hour before dawn, and Alan could only wait. Fortunately, the walls of the town blocked a lot of cold wind for Allen, which made Allen, who fled there overnight, feel comfortable, and recalled the scene at night.

A few hours ago, in order to leave and escape from the mine, Alan did an extremely bold thing and killed his own miner leader. It's been a month since Eren traveled to the Sacred Continent, and in the case of the absentee slave he possessed, Eren felt his fear and disgust for the miner leader.

It was precisely because of the oppression and abuse of the miner leader that the original half-elf slave was seriously injured and unconscious, and was finally fused by Allen's soul. In the past month, Alan has also been beaten by the miners' leaders, and when he is powerless to resist, Alan chooses to suffer in silence like other miners.

After a month of adjustment, Alan finally recovered a little bit of vitality, as a former high-level professional, Alan was not willing to accept the fate of a slave miner, only after leaving the mine and regaining his strength, Alan was able to understand what happened to him.

The only way to escape the mine is to obtain the key from the miner's leader.

The cold winter helped Alan a lot, and in order to avoid the cold, the miner leader would drink a lot of liquor every night and fall asleep. At night, Alan broke into the boss's house and finally retrieved the key to escape from the mine from under the boss's dirty coat.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the boss gradually woke up, and his rich game experience told Alan that the fat guy was about to get up and relieve himself. Once the miner leader wakes up, what awaits Alan will be a beating and death, and at the moment of life and death, Alan took a dagger and decisively ended the leader's life, which can be regarded as avenging the little slave he possessed.

Allen, who killed the leader of the miners, stripped off the leader's coat and cowhide boots, broke into the wind and rain, and finally came to the front of the town after a whole night of trekking.

As a murderer, entering the town is extremely risky for Allen, and once discovered, what awaits him will be capital punishment. But there is no way, in order to complete the inauguration, Alan can only venture into the town and buy the items he needs.

Alan could only hope that the death of the miner leader would be discovered later, so as to buy time for his escape.

He managed to survive until dawn, and as soon as the gates of the town opened, Alan followed closely behind a small caravan, handed over ten copper coins, and entered the city.

The news of the death of the mine leader is like a sharp sword hanging over Allen's head, and he doesn't know when it will erupt, and after entering the town, Allen does not dare to relax at all, and immediately starts to carry out the system task.

The character attribute template that Alan can view is from the game "Sacred Continent", and Alan also gets the task template in the game.

Time: 1325 in the sacred calendar.

Mission: Obtain civilian status.

Success Reward: 100 XP.

Failure Penalty: Unable to complete the adventurer's inauguration.

The time on the template is a crucial reminder for Allen. Alan clearly remembers that two years later, "The Sacred Continent" will be released due to man-made destruction, time and space collapse, and chaos, which will make players around the world feel enthusiastic.

The sacred continent has fallen into an unprecedented chaos, with undead, lichs, and demons rising everywhere, breaking the original pattern of survival on the continent, and the aborigines of the continent have formed a powerful anti-demon force, and launched a protracted confrontation with the powerful disaster army, and hundreds of millions of professional adventurers and aborigines have died, the pattern has changed, and the legend has risen.

It was under such circumstances that Eren entered the game and became a high-end legendary mage through his extraordinary talent awareness. In nearly 100 years of gaming career, Alan gradually discovered the secrets after the natural disaster, but just before touching the truth, he was tragically reborn.

In this life, if there is a chance, Alan will definitely regain the lost power and get a glimpse of the truth of the chaos of time and space behind the natural disaster!

But only if Alan has to be a professional.

In the face of the crisis that may be encountered at any time, the inauguration of a mage, according to Allen's current situation, is obviously no longer possible, and the only thing left is a warlock who is relatively close to the mage profession. Of course, it just seems close, and Alan knows in his heart that there is a huge gap between the two professions, and he will not be able to turn back if he chooses a warlock at all.

The only thing to be thankful for is that both classes require spellcasting, and Eren definitely has the top sense of spellcasting!

In his previous life, Eren was a powerful mage with the strength to lead the army on the side of the "Justice League", but in this life, Eren was reborn in the chaotic Three Northern Kingdoms, and giving up the profession he is most familiar with is a difficult choice for anyone.

Now that he is a warlock, it has become Allen's only choice.

However, he must first become a civilian.

There are many ways for Alan to get rid of his status as a slave miner, but in order to save time, Alan can only choose the most convenient and fast way - throwing money.

With ten silver coins knocking on the door of the town clerk's housekeeper and a thick gold coin to drive the housekeeper to run errands, in one hour, Alan obtained a certificate of commoners in the town of Combe, stamped with the seals of the mayor and clerk. For this, Alan had to pay five gold coins again.
