…

After Su Hao woke up, he found himself in a strange room, the wall was covered with yellowed posters of various colors, and an old clock that looked like an antique was hung, and there was a pitch-black notebook in his hand out of thin air, and the words "Devil May Cry" were written in gilt font on the leather cover.

Is this a reminder to read the information inside?

Su Hao opened the notebook, and after flipping to the first page, there was a red Gothic script on it, as if there was an invisible but blood-dripping severed finger drawn on the paper, and its content was the above information.

Under the influence of the nightmare space, he actually came to the world called [Devil May Cry]? Still need to complete the main quest?

Su Hao looked at the unfamiliar environment around him in disbelief.

Nightmare space? Devil May Cry?

In order to answer the question in his mind, Su Hao had to get more information, so he flipped to the second page.

The title at the beginning of the second page is: "Devil May Cry - Origin" Related"

[Since this is your first experience of the world of the "Devil May Cry" series, Nightmare Space will provide you with relevant information on the worldview.] 】

…

The world was born of darkness, but also of light, so the world was divided into two parts:

The Domain of Light... The human world.

The Abyss of Darkness... Demon Realm.

Light and darkness balance each other, and the demon world and the human world are at peace. But 2,000 years ago, the Demon Emperor [Mendes], the ruler of the Demon Realm, led the Demon Legion in order to realize his ambitions, and brazenly launched an invasion war against the human world.

The demons are strong, the humans are weak, and the disparity in the power of the two sides is huge, and Monds's ambition is about to succeed.

But at this moment, the legendary swordsman of the Demon Realm [Sparta] stepped forward and fought for the human race!

He did his best to inflict heavy damage on Munders, sealing him at the entrance to the human and demon realms, and he himself guarded it for two thousand years.

Time flies, time comes to modern society, Sparta meets the human girl [Eva], the two fall in love at first sight, and then they are combined, and then a mixed-race twin is born:

Pursuit of strength, hard work, self-discipline, elegant and cold brother [Virgil]

Carefree, bohemian, calm and reliable brother [Dante]

The family maintained a happy life for a long time, and the twins slowly grew up and gradually showed superhuman fighting talents.

But the good times didn't last long, and one day, Sparta disappeared, as if the world had evaporated.

At this time, the sealed Demon Emperor Monders was about to wake up.

The remnants of the demons who remain in the human world are also ready to move with the imminent awakening of their king.

…

Su Hao will play games to relax in his spare time, and he has dabbled in the game Devil May Cry, which can be regarded as a familiar understanding of the plot. He read the information in his notebook twice, and made sure that it matched his memory, and it was the Devil May Cry he knew.

Immediately afterward, he flipped through another page, on which there were only a few words:

"If you have any questions, or would like to access any information you have received, then gather your consciousness on the Nightmare Mark on your chest, and you will receive a response within your authority."

"Good luck!"

Su Hao turned dozens of pages in a row, until the last page, all of them were blank, and it seemed that there was no more content in the follow-up.

Immediately afterwards, in order to verify the so-called nightmare mark, Su Hao simply opened the chain of the jacket, and then unbuttoned the top 3 buttons of the undershirt, and found that on the firm and smooth chest, a tattoo of the head of a sheep's horn demon slowly emerged.

The ghost's head tattoo was vivid, like life, the texture of the horns on the top of the head was clear and distinct, the ugly and hideous facial muscles were trembling, and the terrifying scarlet eyes were even more suffocating, and they even winked at themselves!

Is this the Nightmare Mark?

Although in the era of information bombardment on the Internet, Su Hao has learned such settings from many novels, but when faced with such a strange and surprising phenomenon, Su Hao also had to take a deep breath and suppress the fluctuating emotions.

Then, following the prompts of his notebook, he gathered his consciousness on the tattoo, or nightmare mark, and a stream of information poured into his mind.

…

[Current World: Devil May Cry - Origin]

【Location: Mori Castle】

[Difficulty: Easy (Grade D)]

[Pain Reduction: 50%]

[Base Attribute Bonus Enhancement: 50%]

Note 1: The current world is peaceful, and there is no reward for killing the contractor.

Note 2: You have mastered the dominant language of the current world, and you will forget it when you leave the world.

Note 3: Your appearance has been processed to match the current world.

…

When this information came out of thin air in his mind, Su Hao walked to the mirror and found that he had turned into an angular white brother, and he couldn't tell that he was a good-looking Chinese before.

Su Hao finally understood that he had indeed crossed over. Because notebooks are easy to forge, temporary scenes are easy to arrange, and tattoos can be improvised, but this large piece of information that is born out of thin air in the mind, as well as the white face in the mirror, cannot be faked.

At this time, the nightmare mark stinged, and Su Hao received another message:

[Please select a main quest to perform within 1 minute, otherwise it will be erased.] 】

"Gada, Gada."

Su Hao followed the prestige and found that the dusty clock and second hand on the wall had begun to rotate strangely.

This old antique has been eating ashes for many years, I don't know how long it has been suspended, and it started abruptly at this moment, obviously reminding myself to choose the main quest as soon as possible, otherwise when the time comes, I will really be "erased".

Time is pressing, the countdown has begun, and the footsteps of death are approaching, but Su Hao is still thinking.

Consider the pros and cons of these two main quests.

As we all know, a considerable number of movies, novels, and games have fixed routines, no matter how complex the plot setting is, but it can basically be summarized as "the protagonist defeats the villain".

And "Devil May Cry" tells a story of "the protagonist defeats the villain".

Who is the protagonist of Devil May Cry - Origins?

It's Sparta, which wields a sword for humans and defeats invaders, and it's a demon hunter who fights against many demons... All people who share the same goals as Sparta can be counted as the protagonist and the protagonist's side.

And what about the villains?

It is the ambitious demon emperor [Mendes] who does not hesitate to invade the human world and slaughter human beings, the demon remnants who survived the human world after the failure of the invasion of the human world, and the human traitor who betrays his compatriots and takes Munders as his faith.

Mission 1 [Hunt the demons walking in the world!] ], the goal is to kill 3 demons.

Mission 2 [Dedicate your heart to the birth of a new king!] ], the goal is to kill 1 Demon Hunter and dig out their hearts.

On the surface, the goal of both missions is to complete the hunt, but in reality, they are forcing you to take sides.

Hunting demons means that you are on the side of the protagonist and the enemy of the villain, and killing the demon hunter means that you are on the side of the villain and the enemy of the protagonist.

Is it on the side of the protagonist, or on the side of the villain? For Su Hao, of course, he is the protagonist.

Because in almost all novels, role-playing games, movies and TV series, the plot revolves around the protagonist, and Su Hao can grasp the direction of the world's development as much as possible when he stands with the protagonist.

The sound of the mechanical clock stopped abruptly, and the air was terrifyingly quiet, and at the same time, Su Hao also made a choice.

He chose Main Quest 1:

[Hunt the demons who walk in the world! 】
