Chapter 1: I Want to Go Home
On the endless desert, the scorching sun poured its own flames uncontrollably, baking the undulating sand dunes into layers of heat waves that blurred the vision, so that the entire dead desert glowed with a pale golden vitality.
A figure moved against the pale gold background.
"I ...... Want...... Go home......" he murmured, the hot sun burning his lips and cracking, and with each opening, the hot air took more moisture out of his mouth, and the thirst deepened.
But he kept muttering, repeating and emphasizing his wishes over and over again.
"I ...... Want...... ...... home."
His name is Kaneshiro, and more people call him "Golden God" because he is the most powerful arcane mage in the online game Miracles.
According to the tradition of the game industry, the strongest person in each class will be given the title of a god by fans, and the name of the game in Jincheng is "Jin".
The scene in his memory is that he finally completed a legendary mission that took three months to create a new body for himself with the power of the World Tree.
In in-game parlance, he managed to get his mage character to gain a health regeneration stat comparable to that of a paladin.
This is not the point, the point is that according to the setting of "Miracles", the mage's professional weapon is the magic tome, and in order to make the magic tome, the mages have to peel off a piece of skin from their body to cover the magic tome.
Of course, this is only the backstory of the mage profession, and the creation of the mage character will not show the player this slightly bloody process, otherwise it will not pass the approval of the General Administration of Press and Publication.
And after completing this legendary quest, the mage character of Kaneshiro will be able to restore the body that was mutilated by the creation of the Magic Codex, and then - you can make a second Magic Book!
Kaneshiro believed that with the reward of this legendary quest that he had figured out on his own, and with the crushing advantage of the two Magic Books, he would be able to win the fifth edition of The International to be held in the near future, and win the eight million dollars in championship rewards, so that those relatives and friends who usually sneered at him could take a good look......
However, when the light that represented the reward of the mission in the game fell on him, he suddenly lost all consciousness.
When I wake up again, I will see this desert with no end in sight.
"I'm getting out of here, I'm going back...... I'm going to put a finger in their face and tell them that esports isn't a bad business...... I'm going back! ”
Kaneshiro persevered, walking firmly in one direction.
He is a man with strong beliefs, otherwise he would not have become the golden god in the mouths of fans. A strong enough heart can support a person who has traveled far enough, and this is true in any field, and esports is no exception.
And in addition to the torment of the heat and dryness on him, his consciousness is also undergoing a tempering.
Lots of complicated information suddenly appeared in his mind, squeezing and pushing each other, almost shattering his brain.
It's as if someone made a hole in his head and forcefully poured a lot of information into it.
The information is: "Augustic Language", "Demon Text", "Complete Solution to the Creation of Magic Pages in the Magic Book", "Advanced Secret Magic Ability", ......
Knowledge, strange and familiar knowledge.
In the game of "Miracles", this knowledge is just an entry and a value of Jincheng's mage character "Jin", which represents the knowledge skills mastered by "Jin".
But since Jin Cheng woke up, the original entries and values have become detailed and orderly knowledge, and they have surged into his mind, as if they have been rooted for a long time, and every detail is extremely clear.
The huge amount of information hit Kaneshiro's brain, so much so that his mind became a little trance-like.
But the faith is unwavering.
"I don't care what it is...... I'm going back ......."
At the end of the field of vision, a patch of greenery looms.
"Oasis!"
Jin Cheng, who was in a trance, couldn't help but be happy, as if a stream of blood poured into his heart, and the ** of survival suddenly erected, and his steps immediately became much faster.
But at this moment, on the other side of the desert, a huge sandstorm appeared without warning. The sound of the wind became violent in an instant, and the fine sand and gravel were violently stirred up under the sweep of the hurricane, and rolled straight in the direction of Jincheng.
"Sandstorm!"
Jin Cheng was shocked, squeezed out the last trace of physical strength in his body, spread his legs and ran desperately.
It's just that his speed is no match for the wind, and the black curtain that swept the world ruthlessly pulled his distance.
"Damn! Damn it! ”
Jin Cheng cursed angrily, and just as the sandstorm was approaching little by little, he suddenly heard a few human voices.
“…… Goddess of Gifts! Elven Saint King! Ancient Ancestors! bless me! ”
A raging voice rang out at the front of the storm, and a panicked figure was whipping the beast beneath him, shouting unceremoniously to all the gods he knew, praying to escape the sandstorm behind him.
It seems that the generous god did not care about his attitude, and really performed a miracle to make him discover the oasis in the distance.
"Oasis! I'm saved! Thank you all as a family, Goddess of Grace...... Hey? ”
The figure laughed, and then his smile suddenly froze, as he had discovered Jincheng.
Kaneshiro was waving his hand and calling for help, hoping that he would be able to take himself.
The Beast Rider is a native of the Endless Sea, and it can run extremely fast in the desert, and only it can outrun the speed of a sandstorm.
Soon the figure approached Jincheng.
"No, if I take him with me, Sandwalker will be caught up by the sandstorm if he has too much weight!"
The figure made a quick decision, but as he was about to speed past Jincheng, he noticed that Jincheng was bent slightly.
"He's going to? …… Damn it! ”
Jin Cheng saw that the figure had no intention of saving him, so he could only choose to save himself.
At the moment when the Sandwalker swept past Jincheng, Jincheng pounced and successfully grabbed Sandwalker's saddle with both hands.
"Damn! Damn it! You're going to kill me! ”
The figure shouted angrily, but Jin Cheng had already quickly rubbed his back saddle.
"Go down! Go down! Don't hold on so tightly! Go down! Hey...... Passed out? Fainted and still clung so tightly? Go down! ”
The sandstorm is still approaching.
……
What woke Jin Cheng was a coldness, and he subconsciously moved his lips, and then a stream of wetness soaked into his parched mouth.
"Water!"
Jin Cheng woke up in shock, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a sparkling river in front of him.
"Water!"
Jin Cheng screamed again, and without hesitation, he threw himself into the river, plunging his entire upper body into the water.
The river moistened his body, and his strength regained at an eerie speed.
It was as if he only needed water and no food, and he could regain his strength.
After Jin Cheng finally drank a full drink, a mocking voice came from the side: "Boy, I saved your life, how are you going to repay me?" ”
It sounded a strange tone, but Kaneshiro understood the meaning.
He turned his head to see a sandworm lying under a tree by the river, and next to the sandwalker sat a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, who was the figure before the sandstorm.
"Poplar...... Sandwalker ......"
"This is a distant oasis, isn't it? A distant oasis of the Endless Sea...... I remember this river, and I did a one-month quest here to make a spell page of the wind and sand......"
"Sure enough......"
"I entered into a miracle ......"
Jincheng looked around, the strange and familiar environment, compared with the scene simulated by the virtual host, the real distant oasis is more vibrant...... It's also hotter.
"What are you muttering?" The young man approached suspiciously.
Shh
Jin Cheng suddenly tore open his already torn clothes and threw them into the river.
"What are you going to do?" The young man was taken aback by Kaneshiro's sudden move.
"I'm going to go home!" Jin Cheng turned his head and glanced at the young man, and said resolutely word by word, his eyes were a little intimidating.
