Prologue: The Forgotten Library

Next Chapter

The underground world with dim magical lights, surrounded by neat bookshelves, spiral staircases hanging from the dome to the ground, and the structures that make up the walls are also huge bookshelves, countless books are placed in a dazzling array of books, and tens of thousands of magic books will form a sea of knowledge here.

Mephis sat at the central round table in the Great Library, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the guild log, entrusting countless memories of feelings to preserve zΓ i here, no matter how many bloody pasts, sharing countless sadness and joy, here, after all, is just a game. Obviously, I made an appointment to play the game until the server was closed, but just yesterday, the last companion also called to inform me that I was going back to my hometown to get married, so I announced that I would quit the game...... I really want to burn all the traitors who have left the regiment to death.

The fully immersive game mode allows people to experience a completely different world here, the style of the perfect different world, green mountains and rivers and rich adventure stories, players can explore and discover a variety of legends in the vast land, or become a legend themselves, the high degree of freedom and rich classes bring high praise to this game, whether it is quite a traveler or an adventurer, or a general lord who fights on the battlefield is no problem.

Mephis likes this game very much, the original goal of this guild is to travel the whole world, find out all the secrets of the game, this underground library was born from this, Mephis they recorded all the adventure logs and stored them here, the total collection rate of literature reached 94%, almost every version of the story was excavated, and the second place on the list was only 76% collection rate.

Many hard-to-discover secret histories have been found by Mephis, and many of the methods of perfect collection are cumbersome and difficult, almost driving other guilds and players crazy. Due to the need to raid one difficult copy after another to collect historical documents, before you know it, the combat power of the guild has also climbed the leaderboard, and the guild with the most casual players is admired by people, and almost every version is on the list, and the unique fight makes other guilds miserable.

However, since the first version of the Lost Land, it has been six or seven years, to say the least, and looking back, the reason why I chose to enter the game at the beginning was probably that there were mostly elements of escapism, and I didn't dare to face reality and was asked to do such and such things. Dad always wants to arrange a good job for Mephis, and always thinks that Mephis's decision to insist on becoming a novel author is wrong, thinking that he has no talent and has a poor memory, and his mother, of course, also hopes that he has a stable job income, instead of an intermittent and unstable source of life like the author of the novel, Mephis writes the experience in the game into a novel, signs a contract on the Internet, and gets a considerable income. There are no professional players in the guild, but everyone in the guild has to put a lot of money and energy into the game.

Mephis wasn't a genius, but his father expected too much of him and thought he could do it as long as he 'worked hard', but no matter what he did, he was far from it in his father's eyes.

As for what I want to do, I choose a free way to adventure with my friends in the game, walking in the forest around the bonfire under the faint light of fireflies, a group of people sitting by the river watching the celebratory fireworks dye the sky red, and every adventure log is full of laughter and warmth. In the wasteland again and again, the group is wiped out, laughing and running corpses to sell cuteness, and then throwing himself into the process of suffering without hesitation, wittily passing the level in various unexpected situations, racking his brains to finally solve the thrill of solving the puzzle and clearing the level, and achieving achievements that others can't achieve, and the sense of honor after achieving it can make people forget the troubles in reality, and then enter the next cycle.

Fate is fate, it always becomes cruel when we feel sweet, and the banquet that will not be dispersed in the world will become a legendary guild, and this legend will eventually come to an end one day.

Mephis knew that she couldn't continue to escape from reality and indulge in the game, and just like now, her friends returned to reality one by one. As if in a dream, just after a phone call with his last friend and a blessing, Mephis sat alone in the ornate library he was proud of, and was soberly aware.

When the legend finally comes to an end, it's time to wake up from the dream.

Mephis sighed faintly, stood up and spread her arms around, finally embraced the dream, and then put away the complex emotions surging in her heart.

[System Prompt: The Reverse Blood God is attacking the guild station, please return to the station immediately to defend against foreign enemies.] 】

Hearing this, Mephis's eyes flashed a series of numbers, and after reading the news quickly, he raised his head and looked at the library with a barely visible dome, and a little frenzy flashed on his face.

From the start of the game to today, their guilds have more than once stolen the limelight of those top few guilds on the leaderboard, because everyone is a member of society, out of love and peace are not willing to invest too much in PK things, so friends have donated their salaries to invest money in the guild, smashing those who fight guild wars every day, and at the same time making this their ideal township, equipment, props to the guild level, without exception, all reached the apex early.

Every guild ranking battle, their guild adopts the strategy of defending and maintaining the position, and the numerical disadvantage is indeed insufficient to attack, but with excellent terrain and defense, no matter how many guilds are attacked, they can score points for a steady defense. Many large guilds have encountered them and hated them so much, let's fight, if you can't get in, give points in vain, don't fight, Mephis's guild can profit when the battle is at its most intense.

But even if it's a person, Mephis still has a strong self-confidence, this is the crystallization of everyone's wisdom, the collection of tens of thousands of large libraries in the game, as the owner of this place, there is a good reason to bury those uninvited guys.

Then, Mephis flashed brightly, holding the Book of Origin in one hand and the Sword of Breaking Law in the other, and since it was about to end, he chose a dignified exit stage.

This rival guild is one of the top battle guilds in the game, and everyone in it can be said that they have stepped through the game and leveled countless dungeons.

Mephis waited silently.

The swordsman, covered in magic armor, stepped through the door of the library and walked in, followed by an influx of various professional players, the mage holding the elemental will, surrounded by a faint frost, blessed with the power of thunder and fire, the death knight's two-handed greatsword deep black armor, dark blue eyes silently telling the will of the undead, the assassin hiding under the twisted cloak, his figure looming and erratic.

As far as the eye can see, he is alone against a small group of twenty-five people who are fully armed, and this battle is usually a treatment that can only be enjoyed by dungeon bosses, but I didn't expect to face them as a player today.

"I have heard for a long time that the financial resources of the 'hermit' are amazing, and the deployment of the battle puppet is no different from that of a large dungeon, just passing through the hall of the meeting is hard enough, you really have money and no place to spend, and you have enough leisure. There have been many people who have declared war on you before, but when I see me today, I don't think so, it's very deserted here. ”

"So what? When you declare war, you are nothing more than taking a fancy to our collection of out-of-print exclusives, as well as the 10% of the wealth plundered after victory, and more importantly, to take a fancy to the hermit itself. ”

"Since you know, you should know the current affairs, anyway, an antique player like you should have quit a long time ago, so it's better to use this guild to sell some milk powder money when you quit."

"If you say sell it, don't I lose face? So it's better to see the real chapter under your hands.,Although it's a game.,But don't just talk about it.。 ”

Mephis gripped her sword and pointed forward, smiling.

"Go ahead, don't cower there, I haven't tried to pick a group in the game for so long."

"Since you said so, don't blame me for not giving face, do it!"

Mephiss took a step forward, and the sword blade swiped a graceful trajectory, like a music conductor, guiding the surrounding bookshelves to vibrate, hundreds of books slowly floated out, activating each magic book here, they immediately opened the pages of the book and released the magic array, turning into a 360-degree turret with no dead angles in the sky, and the barrage formed a torrential rain and poured down on the enemy.

The enemy has obviously made sufficient preparations, not to mention the powerful guilds that have emerged in recent years, and the guild leader relies on strong financial resources to acquire old players, and the accumulated funds and equipment cannot be underestimated.

Mephis clearly remembers the glory of the game's unbeatable bosses, they may have hundreds of millions of vitality and powerful recovery abilities, but they still fall at the player's feet, this is because the player is fully equipped and can run corpses.

Of course, being able to run corpses is the key to defeating all kinds of powerful bosses.

Mephis found that these people are all famous masters on the PK rankings, none of them are dry, and the skills are very skillful, the mage forms a barrier in front of him to block the barrage, and the swordsman and other melee professions launch a surprise attack, in such a battle, Mephiss even if he is entangled by a person in close quarters means defeat.

Hovering on the edge of the ranged class's attacks, stepping on the gaps between the melee classes' attacks, using his familiarity with the library environment and invoking the Wizard Book to create obstacles, Mephes survived in the midst of bullets, playing hide and seek in dark corners with Assassins and Rangers.

The demon hunter formed by the flames tracked Mephis's footsteps, and once discovered, thunder fell from the sky covering a large area, and the thick arc of the bucket washed the floor and left a charred black mark.

The assassin suddenly came out of the corner, the dagger with poison was sent into the heart, Mephis copied his skill, and disappeared in the next second, the assassin pouted and sighed pity, but the next moment he found that he could not act, and in the blink of an eye he was bombarded by the group of magic books that returned to defense.

At the end of the game, it's a good feeling to fight as hard as you can.

Mephis slowly eliminated those opponents who were rushing on the periphery, and the props and consumables on his body were almost exhausted, and he calmly observed the Qiqi around him, both excited and warned himself not to make any mistakes, looking for opportunities again and again to kill the lone enemy in front of him

With reduced health, broken armor, bottomed out magic power, and severe poison consuming lives, the amazing battle still hasn't ended, and less than one in ten players survives on the battlefield, leaving only the swordsman and the oracle, the former is a profession with swordsmanship and spell skills, and the latter is a nurse with a powerful ability to restore fΓΉ, and it is self-evident who she chooses to kill.

Mephis occupies the commanding heights, the spell bombardment below zero, the oracle died an embarrassing death, but the swordsman uses his defensive skills to break through the encirclement, killing in front of Mephis's eyes, the extreme cold strikes, forming an ice wall around Mephis, the swordsman eagerly pulls back the weapon, and is about to slash the fatal blow to Mephis, emptying the bottom of the blood.

"You are powerful, but victory is not yours!"

"Quite the opposite."

Mephis no longer has magic power, but he still wields the long sword, blocking the attack extremely strongly, and then suddenly lets go and let the Demon Breaking Sword be bounced away, the swordsman is overjoyed, and hurriedly attacks, the next moment he suddenly feels his heart numb, the last vitality is gone, the blood bar is broken, the game character is declared dead, and the swordsman's body is pushed off the platform by Mephis.

"The dagger is the last dignity of a mage."

The final blow deprived his opponent of any hope of victory, and the swordsman immediately vanished as a speck of light and returned to the Temple of Resurrection.

[Congratulations to the Hermit Guild on its victory]

"Hoo ......"

Mephis staggered and sat down on the bookshelf, checking the consumables in the backpack, there were no life potions and magic potions left, any consumables related to the battle were used without money, against twenty-five people, even if there was a home advantage, it was not easy, but the result was very satisfying, Mephis clapped his hands, closed his eyes and recalled the battle just now, thinking that he would leave the game after this, and suddenly felt a little loss in his heart.

One last glance at the familiar guild, a large library full of memories, Mephis chose to go offline.
