Chapter I

"Yawn"

In a filthy room, a few small bugs swirl around a dim incandescent lamp, and a slightly sloppy man with loose hair is sitting in front of a computer, tapping on the keyboard from time to time.

"Denofi Continent".

As a game that has been in operation for 12 years, "Denofi Continent" has swept most of the game industry in an instant with its super popularity.

And the man who is manipulating the character walking on the Denofi Continent, although his appearance is not too outstanding, almost every player who sees this face "Denofi Continent" will immediately blurt out a name - Falcion.

This is the name of a legendary player in the professional circle of "Denofi Continent", and the name of the game character who is walking slowly on the computer screen of the man in front of him.

Ever since the in-game Denorfi Pro League was formed ten years ago, the name Falcion has continued to create the number one myth.

But none of this seemed to have anything to do with the man in front of him, because until this year, he had to retire from the professional world with Falcion, who had been with him for twelve years, due to his age of 27, which exceeded the age limit for professional gamers.

Looking blankly at the familiar map on the screen, the name Falcion easily attracted the attention of the surrounding players, casually blocking the friend application function, he looked up at the ceiling, sighed, and casually poured a sip of beer into his mouth.

Just as he was about to get some supper, his eyes inadvertently swept over the screen again.

"Huh?"

He sat back down in front of the computer, a look of doubt in his eyes.

It's not surprising that you don't see players on this remote map, but it seems that since the beginning, not to mention the players, even the monsters have never appeared again.

"This ...... Is it a bug? ”

The man scratched his head, in the twelve years since the operation of "Denofi Continent", due to the accident of player card BUG leveling, after that, the official big change, I haven't heard of bugs or anything like that.

"Wait, what's this?"

As he was manipulating Falcion as he explored the familiar and unfamiliar map, a blurry black shadow appeared on the screen, full of gibberish.

"What's weird? npc？ Or is it a hidden mission? Strange words...... Why don't you even have a health bar......? ”

Manipulating Falcion around the strange black shadow a few times, but nothing happened, he poured beer into his mouth again, and with a mouse movement, Falcion slowly began to move towards the black shadow.

"You...... Very...... Strong ......"

At the moment when Falcion came into contact with the black shadow, a noisy voice came, which could only barely make out the characters, and the man's body was stunned, interested in the black shadow on the screen.

"Is that really weird?"

Tapping on the keyboard with interest, with a flick of the mouse, the man was about to go to the official website to check out this strange "black shadow monster", after all, as a twelve-year-old player of Denofi, he could be sure that he had never seen such a wild monster.

But no matter what he did, the computer screen always showed the strange black shadow on the map.

"Say...... Adventitious...... You...... Can ......"

As another noisy sound came into his ears, the man only felt his head sink, and there seemed to be this invisible gaze in the dark shadow that was staring at him, staring at himself outside the screen......

And at the last moment when his consciousness disappeared, he saw that the character he controlled in the game slowly faded the four words of Falcion on the top of his head, and was finally swallowed by the strange black shadow along with the character......

……

"Take a quick look at the number one !! in the combat power list"

At this moment, countless players in the Denofi Continent were staring at the battle power list, only to see that the four golden characters of Falcion, who was the first in the battle power list, were slowly fading away, and finally disappeared completely, while the second player did not fill this vacancy, and the dazzling blank was extremely weird.
