Chapter 259 Signs Rising


    Arcadia unified into one.


    One huge continent boasting the size of the earth.


    Within it, billions of people were living in this virtual world as protagonists in different stories, enjoying adventures in their own way.


    “They say they are recruiting mercenaries in the Cavell estate... What kind of hidden dungeon exploration are they talking about?”


    “Ummm..... A special item came in this time. Are you interested?”


    “Someone said they saw a mysterious blue bird flying over the mountain the other day. Could you do some research on this?”


    “Hehehehehe. help! anybody there?”


    A world full of adventures and secrets, full of mysterious and deadly threats. There were many people who happened to get a special opportunity in it, but most of the content was just in and boring.


    “what. Is this allpensation...?”


    Lung Shao stares at the old man with a cold expression and who is clearly sick. As he looked at the few shiny silver and yellow coins in the old man''s hands, he asked in an annoyed tone.


    “I’m sorry. This is all I have...”


    He lives in a dpidated dugout that looks like there is no ce for money toe out. Looking at the old man who offered a penny he couldn''t even save, he muttered with a distorted face as if he was pitiful.


    “Sheesh. I did something special this time. It was trash after all.”


    A quest I received by chance while passing through a refugee camp like Harlem. Normally, he would have just ignored it without snoring, but he epted the request just in case.


    [Sudden quest ‘Get the herbs'' has been created.]


    The old man asks to find some rare herbs because his only granddaughter is in critical condition. I bought it at the auction house and gave it 2 gold, but the reward was only puny money.


    [Sessfully delivered the Root of the Red Sun.]


    [Surprise Quest Completed.]


    [Obtained 8 Silver and 23 Bronze.]


    [Derbin''s granddaughter''s illness has eased.]


    [Preceding value increased by 10.]


    [ Acquired 10 reputation.]


    A garbage quest that was worse than not doing it.


    It was a pity to waste time and money on such a quest, but it was none other than the rise in the number of good deeds that enraged Ryong more than that.


    “Hey, you fucking old man. Do I look like a nice guy now?”


    Whoops.


    With cold eyes, he raises his strength. The dark mana spewing out around him was threateningly threatening to take Dervin''s life right now.


    “Heh warlock.....”


    A warlock who follows the devil and brings blood and darkness, a being of death and fear.


    Realizing the identity of the young man who had helped him, Dervin banged his head on the floor with fearful eyes and shouted.


    “Sorry. That''s all right now, but if Joe gives me a little time, I''ll somehow be satisfied...”


    Derbin, shaking and trembling, begged for forgiveness. However, that could not bring his twisted nting back to its original state.


    “I do not need.”


    “yes....?”


    As if he was thinking of something else, he smiled viciously. He spoke to Derben in a cold voice.


    “How much would it be worth to bring a bug like you as a reward anyway? I don''t need that penny. It would be better to lower the number of good deeds raised because of you and increase the bad karma.”


    “What do you mean by that...”


    Derbin asked cautiously with trembling eyes as if he was not sure. In response to his question, Ryong chanted in a low voice with the mana of darkness raised to the fullest.


    “The Corrupted Chloride.”


    Roaring.


    manifestation of ck magic.


    At the same time, seeing the old dugout behind him burning with ck mes, Derbin screamed in fright and ran toward it.


    “Oh, no. Ariel...! Ari...”


    Derbin runs with his eyes wide open to save his only granddaughter who is lying in a dugout grunting. However, before he could even get close to the hut, he was struck by a dark sphere flying from behind him and copsed.


    “Don’t resent me too much.”


    A ck me that aggressively devours a pit. Derbin, who was dying as he looked with despairing eyes at the mes that spread throughout the dugout and fiercely consumed everything, heard his muttering andughing in his ears.


    “I have no feelings for you. It''s just that, for me, it''s far more profitable to raise your bad karma than to see your granddaughter get well.”


    Those who think that there is no need to feel emotional satisfaction or pride in a mere game. To him, the situation between the two was just a setup without any inspiration.


    [Derbin''s family was murdered.]


    [Shocking cruelty. Everyone who seeks good despises you.]


    [The bad karma level rises by 100.]


    [The rted incident spreads throughout the slums of Saeil Vige.]


    [Satisfying certain conditions. The guards do not pursue the yer.]


    “Hmm.... As expected. This is why slums are good for raising bad karma.”


    He smiles deeply as he checks the status window that has popped up in front of him. He muttered with a satisfied smile.


    Numerous crimes taking ce in the town.


    Among them, killing an NPC was one of the most severe crimes.


    [If you kill a resident of Arcadia without any reason, you will be sentenced to imprisonment for at least 30 days.]


    Unless it was self-defense, it was a heinous act that had to suffer enormous damage from the attack of the guards. That''s why it was a crazy thing that no one would try, but even so, those with dark jobs sometimes turned into killers without asking.


    - Tips for raising bad karma. kill and bounce How to avoid guards.


    -Indiscriminate PK or NPC killing is the best. Try sneaking it at night.


    -How to raise the bad karma level by more than 1000 at once.


    A bad karma value that is always required to carry out important quests or wear high-ranking items among brutal and brutal people such as ck magicians and dark knights. Even from Satan''s point of view, it was only possible to climb the mountain bymitting an heinous act to the point where the words ‘Ah... this is a bit...'' woulde out naturally, so they struggled and struggled to do bad things even if they were forced to do so.


    - Killing NPCs is a double-edged sword. You can quickly raise bad karma, but if you do too much, you will never set foot in that territory or country again. be careful.


    -I was caught trying to hide, but I was sentenced to 4 years in prison. what about this...? Are you really X?


    -??? How the hell did you kill so much that you got it like that?


    -There should be no witnesses or eyewitnesses, so I just destroyed a vige.


    -???


    Killing an NPC with a huge penalty. But Ryong had already killed dozens... no, hundreds of Arcadia''s residents. without incurring any penalty.


    A slum where people of unknown status who do not pay taxes live.


    Living in a dpidated dugout and leading a bottomless life, they were abandoned people who did not even care about the guards who resided in each vige. By killing them, Ryong came to realize a certain hidden condition quite by ident.


    That the guards wouldn''t even move their heavy hips enough to kill a few outcasts living in the slums if they didn''t cross a certain level.


    “Hehehehehe... Although it''s virtual, this kind of experience isn''t bad either.”


    A crime against humanity that would never be possible in real life. However, the idea of fiction in the virtual paralyzed his morality, giving him the feeling of ying GTA and making him perceive it as a game. He smiled sincerely, enjoying the feelings of depravity and deviation that strangely boiled in his heart.


    And at that moment.....


    A message suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.


    [Your story of ughtering hundreds of innocent people goes back and forth between the slums.]


    [Children stay awake at your story, and adults look out the window, afraid of your unexpected visit.]


    [Title ‘slums'' ‘Nightmare'' has been obtained.]


    [The bad karma level rises by 3500.]


    “Huh...?”


    Totally unexpected ie.


    The fact that he had obtained a title as well as a huge amount of bad karma that he had to kill dozens more people, his eyes shed as if he was surprised, but that wasn''t all.


    [In the mire of despair andmentation. You hear a whisper calling you from the depths.]


    [All specific conditions have been met.]


    [You have obtained the quest ‘Whisper of Darkness''.]


    [Please check the rted information.]


    “The quest...?”


    Quest created suddenly. Until now, he had never experienced a situation like this before, so his face was full of doubt as he opened the quest window.


    “Go to the ce where the whispers are heard...?”


    Quests with vague poetic expressions and almost enigmatic phrases telling you to go somewhere. In addition, there was no sound in his ears, so his face was full of confusion as he opened the quest window and carefully examined its contents two or three times.


    “I don''t know what this is... but I''ll have to look into it...”


    I''m not sure, but I instinctively feel that it''s worth investigating. He closed the connection to find Arfandia, the treasure trove of all knowledge and information.


    “log out.”


    He disappeared without a trace with a short starter word.


    In the ce where he was, only the same silence as before lingered.


    A dugout that had turned to ashes without a trace.


    Looking at the burning nest with despairing eyes, he couldn''t even close his eyes, leaving only the gray corpse of Dervin, who had died unjustly.


    Passsss.


    And the corpse and the dugout soon disappeared, turning into dust in an instant.


    As if it wasn''t even there in the first ce. without leaving a trace.


    forever.


    * * *


    Demon world.


    A fierce and heartless world where only the strong survive and only the vicious and vicious are valued, it is the Arcadia Hell ruled by Satan, the lord of all the fallen.


    [Kieeh!]


    Kuung. cooong.


    [Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]


    A ce full of gigantic-sized monsters and bizarre-looking monsters that will make you lose your appetite for three days just by looking at them. This atrocious environment full of fire and brimstone was always a world full of chaos and destruction, but even within it, systems andws existed in their own way.


    [Interesting...]


    The corpsmander in charge of the Pandemonium''s 2nd corps.


    Nargal, Lord of ughter.


    He had great interest and curiosity about a series of events and changes that had recently urred, and all his senses were focused on what was happening far away on the continent of Arcadia.


    [This is how the dimensional wall with Middle Earth is getting thinner. This is the first time since the Holy Demon War.]


    In the past, Nargal fought a fierce battle with Heaven and fought a fierce war to upy Middle Earth. However, after realizing that the dimensional wall, which had be so strong that he could not even interfere with his line after that war, had recently weakened tremendously, he used all his subordinates and subordinates under his control to carefully monitor the situation on the continent of Arcadia. Observed carefully.


    [The world tree awakened again. And it''s a middle ground united into one...]


    He didn''t just rise to the position of corpsmander. The corpsmander''s time umted over an eternity of time. And the actions of his great monarch, who recently vacated his meeting and did not show his face, awakened the demonic instincttent in Nargal''s heart.


    [The time hase... My people.]


    Therefore, he repeatedly spread the message to all possible fallen ones.


    [Reopen the Hell Gate dormant in the middle world.] The


    most important cause of the Great War of the Holy Spirit in the past and the points that were hidden all over the continent. He muttered with a strange expression on his face as if he was imagining his longing for a dream.


    [The moment the door connecting the demon world and the middle world opens wide again...]


    [Arcadia will once again worship the great dark lord and kneel before the greatness of hell.]
