A month ago, at the edge of a village in the western part of the Isle of Glimpse.

"Why? Why is this happening? ”

A young man fell to his knees, his hands covering his face, his nails already piercing his face and forehead. Blood slowly slid and dripped onto the dark yellow earth, soaking the ground.

"Who did that?"

The young man let go of his hands and hung limply on his sides, his bloodstained face lifted up, revealing a burning village in front of him. There was no scream from anyone in the village, only the "click" of flames burning the earth and houses. It was night, and the moon had avoided its figure under such a blazing flame, and in the gloomy sky, dark clouds gradually gathered. Maybe it's a thunderstorm coming, and the sky is shining, isn't it making a dull sound, as if mourning for the village.

The young man stood up weakly, step by step towards the flames. There was no focus in his eyes, and at this time, he was like an unconscious empty shell, moving with the empty soul. The blood soon stopped, condensed on the young man's face, and became even more terrifying. As the young man walked into the flames, his figure grew smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the flames. Or rather, engulfed by the flames.

"Woo~" seemed to make a mournful sound from the sky, but when you listen carefully, it's just thunder. Finally, a flash of lightning flashed, and thunder began to sound. Gorgeous rain rains down from the sky, crashing against the charred ground and houses engulfed in flames. The thunderstorm was blowing, but the people in the flames could not survive that moment, they quietly 'fell asleep', waiting for the flames to shatter their bodies.

In the morning, on the outskirts of the village.

"Don't worry, I'll get it, trust me."

A young man, who did not listen to the dissuasion of his parents, insisted on going to the suburbs to look for "Seven Star Grass".

"My body doesn't matter, so if you don't get it, come back early. Ahem—"

The young man's mother said, and coughed a few times.

"Then I'll go first and take care of Mom, Dad."

The young man looked back, and then admonished.

The parents' eyes were full of love, and the young man smiled, but they didn't know that this was a huge change.

"Not this."

The young man squatted and plucked a grass, looked at it, and then threw it away. Looking around, there are not enough weeds, and even special grasses may not be visible, let alone any "seven-star grass".

"Well, it seems that I still can't find it."

The young man sighed and stood up. The breeze swept through the bushes, and the silence around made the youth feel eerie. In fact, since he entered the forest, he felt that there was a gaze staring at him, but he couldn't find anyone, which made the young man panic.

"It's up to you to go back or not."

The young man thought so, but then shook his head and walked deeper with a firm step.

Dusk also came, and the sun met the horizon, staining the earth red. The young man also returned the same way, and there was nothing to gain from this outing, so he had to go back as soon as possible, so as not to worry his family. Then back to the edge of the village, there was a scene of fire.

In the sea of fire, the young man lay in the center of the flames, the lack of oxygen had already made him unconscious, the heat burned his skin, and all kinds of toxic gases entered his body, and it seemed that he could not wake up for a while.

"Are you willing?"

A voice sounded in the young man's head, a strange voice that could not distinguish gender and age.

"Your subconscious tells me that you don't want to die. So, why do you plan to wait for death like this? ”

The voice paused, and then said again in a sonorous voice:

"Go ahead! Go after your life and live! It's not your fate! ”

"Ahh

The young man woke up, and now his brain was telling him very clearly: Live! The discomfort caused by the lack of oxygen, high temperatures, and toxic gases has all disappeared, and now only the desire for "life" remains.

"Ha~Ha~"

The young man gasped boldly and ran outside step by step. All kinds of figures kept appearing in his mind, and the process of their lives also appeared one by one, and at some point, his eyes were already moist. However, he has already come out. Kneeling at the edge of the village again, tears falling along with the raindrops.

"Guys, I'm sorry for my timidity."

The young man's voice was already choked, looking at his home in the flames, he felt very uncomfortable, thinking that his friends and family were buried in the flames one by one, and his tears could not be controlled. Tears and rain washed the blood off the young man's face, leaving scars one after another, and he knelt like this, as if he wanted to wait for the flames to be extinguished, for the people's understanding.

Finally, the flames were extinguished and the sky was plunged into darkness, but the rain was still falling. The young man finally stood up, but he didn't go in, let the rain hit his brain, he knelt for hours, his legs were no longer felt, as for how to stand up, he didn't know, his consciousness had also flown out of his body. I wanted to move, but my body didn't listen. His eyes were blurry, but they weren't tears, his tears had long since dried. The sight in his eyes gradually shrank, and finally turned into darkness. He knew for himself that his vision was useless, that he was blind. Eventually, he barely dragged his right foot, but moments later, he fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, guys. I don't know if I'll make it to the next day, but if I do, I'll avenge you! I, Ain Leachman, will definitely get my revenge! ”

After this baptism of fire, he has been reborn, and this is a real, nirvana rebirth! He is no longer visible, he can't see the sorrow of this world, he can't see the cruelty of this world. He was unconscious, he no longer felt sad, he didn't feel cruel anymore. He has shed all his tears, his patience with the world, and his last shred of kindness. He learned to be strong, to be cruel, and to understand that only the strong will survive in this world where the strong eat.

The rain capital, as the name of the city suggests, is that it rains all the time, never stopping. Even in the middle of the night, it doesn't stop. Raindrops fall on the streets of the rainy city at night, people step on the steps, splashing a little ripple, many newcomers are used to walking on the street, admiring this unchanging rainy night.

Among the people wandering in the rain capital tonight, a man in black hurriedly walked, with a black coat and trousers, plus black hair and pupils, as if he wanted to merge with the night. But unfortunately, the rain kept hitting his head, and his black patent leather shoes made a splash on the land that had accumulated about 2 centimeters high. The man's black eyes continued to shoot a murderous light......

200 meters away from the suburbs in the west of Yudu, there is a small dark alley, and the rain falls on its own, and it doesn't disturb the interest of the two men in the alley.

"Big sister, are you interested in playing with your uncles?"

A fat man with a beard and an authentic Northeast accent said in an extremely obscene voice (I'm not from the Black Northeast).

"If you don't answer, that's tacit!"

The other also spoke in an extremely obscene voice, and was about to reach out his hand to touch the face of the girl who was forced against the wall.

"Smack!" The girl casually slapped the man's hand away, and continued:

"This isn't a killing city, do you want to be tough?"

The girl's voice was calm, as if it had become commonplace.

"Why can't you be hard? We're here to bring you to your knees! ”

The lust of the two of them was burning brightly, and they pounced directly.

"There is only a desire to have nowhere to vent, and it is simply a group of primitive animals in estrus."

The girl said lightly, striking both of them in the stomach with both hands, then an elbow to one of them in the jaw, and a knife to the throat of the other.

"Uhh

"Ahem, ahem—"

The two men were directly repulsed.

"Damn!"

The big brother in the northeast covered his chin, and the clear pain made his brain dizzy.

"Idiot."

The girl pulls a sword from her inventory.

"Let you clearly engrave the 'carnival' tonight!"

The girl's cold voice echoed through the narrow alley, reaching the ears of the two of them, and they will never forget this night......

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems to be celebrating what it is. But apparently, tonight was just a normal night, and people were sleeping, playing, having fun, and suffering as usual. The emotions in their hearts will not be washed away by the rain, because they have become accustomed to it. The man in black sat on the rain-soaked staircase, letting the rain wash everything, his black patent leather shoes beating rhythmically in the puddle.

"I didn't expect the result to be a bit unexpected."

The man in black held his chin with his right hand and smiled slightly.

"Do you want to do it in Kujiri? It's funny. ”

The man in black stood up and took off his black coat, which was a T-shirt with a "Four Loli" painted on it, and she sat on top of her angel, the Frozen Golem.

"Although I am in charge of the order of timidity, it does not mean that I am a cowardly person."

The man in black said righteously, and then strode away.

Kill the city.

Inside a restaurant where couples are seated.

"Okay, let's go, what's the matter? I know you're not going to be okay and come to me. ”

Night Ru smiled, staring at the shadow in front of her.

"Okay, then I'm not going to beat around the bush."

With that, Shadow Slayer slashed open the taskbar, and then pushed it in front of Night's True Ruu.

"The two of us team up to complete a bounty mission."

Shadow Kill points to the top mission: Smiling Death - SSS Class!

Smiling Grim Reaper: Quest Type: Slash Target: Player Quest Level: SSS Tier

Content: Kill the "Smiling Reaper" who often travels to and from the killing city, with an ominous real name, an ominous rank, an ominous appearance, and an ominous professional weapon, and has killed nearly 1,000 people so far.

Reward: 90,000,000 gold, unknown

"Cough, cough, cough. SSS-class mission?! ”

Suya Maru couldn't hold back, stood up, and asked loudly. The people around couldn't help but look at her. Realizing that something was wrong, Maru, her cheeks were slightly red, and she sat down slowly.

"Are you sure?"

Night Tracer Maru looked at Shadow Kill Road again.

"Basically, no."

Shadow Kill doesn't lie either, and says it very seriously.

“.... It's really your style. But since you want to challenge the strong so much, then I'll accompany you. ”

Night Tracer Real Ru smiled, he understands shadow killing, he just likes to challenge the strong from all walks of life, not for rewards, just for a battle.

"Thank you, you still understand me."

Shadow Kill scratched the back of his head, feeling a sense of dazedness.

"So, I helped you, should you repay me?"

Ruru smiled mysteriously.

"Return... What do you want? ”

Shadow Kill looked a little panicked.

"Grant my three wishes."

Nightshade Ru stretched out three fingers and said. Shadow Kill looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry, it won't be hard."

"First, you are not allowed to refuse my kindness to you in the future."

"The second, go on appointments with me at least twice a week."

"I haven't thought about the third one for the time being, I'll keep it for now."

The three wishes couldn't help but make Shadow Kill stunned, they were all related to him, and they were all aspects of love. Night Shadow Ru smiled slightly, and couldn't help but let Shadow Kill look stunned for a second. Nightshade is really beautiful, but she has always had a lilac veil that covers her face, and basically no one has seen her "true face", but Shadow Kill has seen it, because just like the previous two wishes, Nightshade Trueru likes Shadow Kill.

"Uh... This, that...."

Shadow Kill is a bit incoherent.

"Huh? Is it so hard that this little wish cannot be fulfilled? Then don't think I'll help you complete the bounty task. ”

Nightshade pursed her lips as if she was throwing a tantrum.

"Hey, okay, I promise you."

Shadow Kill agreed on the surface, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It's not that he doesn't like Night Tracking, as the saying goes, men chase women across the mountain, and women chase men across the veil, not to mention that Night Tracking True Ru has also taken off her veil. It's just that he doesn't want to fall in love now, he must get stronger strength now in order to protect the people around him, and he didn't even think about being friends with others before he had absolute power. Only Nightshaven is different, she chases Shadow Kill backwards, and despite Shadow Kill's constant and clear refusal, she still insists.

"Yay! It's a success! ”

Ruru cheered, as if she had won a game. Jumping up happily, she once again gained the attention of others.

"Nighttime... Let's eat first. ”

At some point, the food that had been ordered at the beginning was already on the table.

"Understood!"

After answering the answer, she immediately sat down. During the meal, he still hummed a little song, and seemed to be really happy.

Memory.

Lingyun gulped down his meal, while Nobu Izaki and Kannatsuki clinked glasses to each other, indulging in their drinks.

"I just remembered that Kannatsu, aren't you the store manager? What is it to eat with us? ”

Izaki Shin took a sip of wine and asked slowly.

"Of course you have to chat with old customers! Don't worry, I'll give you a cheaper one. ”

Shen Wuyue said with a big grin, and then turned sideways to Ling Yun on the side and said:

"Ling Yunjun, let's talk about it too, it's boring to eat alone."

"I... Ahem—"

Ling Yun chewed and said:

"I just remembered that I also took a bounty mission, there is a time limit, it will end at 12:00 tonight, it's 11:06, I have to eat quickly."

After speaking, he put down his chopsticks and said:

"I'm full."

Ling Yun stood up, then put on his coat and walked towards the door without saying a word.

"Do you want us to help?"

Izaki Shin shouted at Ling Yun's back.

"No need!"

Ling Yun waved his hand behind his back, leaving a word and running away.

"Okay, leave him alone, we'll drink ours."

Shen Wuyue picked up the wine glass again and said. Nobuya Izaki could only pick up the glass and salute it in return.

Ling Yun stepped out of the store in one step, and the cold air hit Ling Yun's cheeks, and Ling Yun, who had just become accustomed to the temperature in the store, still shivered when he encountered this temperature difference.

"Alas~"

Ling Yun walked briskly, and then opened the task list, Ling Yun rubbed his hands and looked at the first task on top: Suburban Warrior - B-rank

Warrior in the Outskirts: Quest Type: Slash Target: Player Quest Level: Tier B

Description: Kill a male player armed with a sword, estimated to be around level 30, frequent on the outskirts of Memories Hill, and have killed nearly ten players so far, and the killed players all have one thing in common - they are all loyal to the "New World". Therefore, it is currently speculated that it is the "Old World Formation Guardian School", and it seems that it will also use the sword skills of the "Old World" (that is, some swordsmanship of the original world).

Rewards: 50,000 gold, dark gold*10 (The main attraction of bounty tasks is the large bounty, and basically the rewarded items are generally not good things, so ordinary people are just aiming for the high bounty of bounty tasks.) ）

"A simple B-class mission has such a high bounty, what does this so-called 'new and old world' mean?"

After reading these refined languages, Ling Yun couldn't help but think. Then he closed the taskbar and ran intently. On a cold night, the dark sky is dotted with twinkling stars, like a galaxy paved with fine quicksand slanting above the dark and boundless sky, as if it is about to fall like an uncontrollable meteorite.
