Chapter 1: The Death Lord
update icon Updated at 2023/7/12 19:07:46

At the beginning, it should be mentioned that the content of this book is purely fictional in an alternate world.

"The largest online virtual reality game is now online!"

In a small dorm room, a young man with quick reflexes pressed the volume button on his phone.

"Whew..."

He breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, his roommate had already gone home; otherwise, it would be too awkward.

"Why does this damn advertisement MMS have a voice?"

He turned off the automatic download of MMS and took a look at its content.

Once again, it was a rubbish game advertisement.

Something like "no need to recharge, receive divine weapons as soon as you go online."

But to be fair, the promotion of this MMS was quite unique.

A virtual reality game, three chances to draw the most compatible destiny race with you.

An otherworldly realm that is different from reality, enjoying the benefits of being a time traveler...

It sounds tempting, but is it possible?

Shiki ignored it and scrolled down.

"The game equipment has arrived. Please check, and on July 20th at 12:00, join the closed beta with other 99,999 players..."

"Damn it!"

He deleted the MMS, packed up his things, and the summer vacation had finally arrived. He could finally go home~

Skipping the journey back home, since no one wants to read about it.

Just as Shiki reached the entrance of the neighborhood, the auntie at the small store stopped him.

"Xiao Qi! There's a package for you!"

"Huh?"

Shiki was taken aback. He didn't order anything, he was practically unable to afford anything himself.

With a hint of suspicion, he accepted the big box, on which the sender was written: Mr. Xiao from Sanshui Wood Game Studio.

"???"

Holding the big box, Shiki returned home. His parents weren't at home; they were busy managing a small supermarket in the back building.

He opened the box, inside which was a complete set of gaming equipment, including the virtual game helmet that only existed in novels.

"Is this real?"

Shiki could hardly believe it, but he remembered the content of that MMS.

He took out the instruction manual and started doing his homework. Tomorrow was July 20th.

If it was true, he would make a fortune!

If it was false, he wouldn't lose anything!

On the next day at 11:30, Shiki had already mastered the equipment. He put on the helmet and followed the instructions in the manual to enter the game.

Inside the white space, he looked at his own body, which was exactly the same as in reality. It had scanned his entire body before, saying that the game account was linked to his personal information.

"Welcome to 'The Second World,' Chosen One~"

A voice echoed in the space, it was the system.

"The Second World" was the name of the game, representing the second world where players live.

And the Chosen One naturally referred to the players.

"Please draw the race that is most compatible with you, you have three chances~"

The space was filled with cards representing different races, and Shiki's eyes were dazzled by them.

Finally, they all converged in front of him for him to pick.

"Drawing cards is such a bad civilization..."

Shiki didn't mention that he himself was African; he just directly drew the first card from the deck.

"Goblin!"

Accompanied by the squeaky voice of a goblin, Shiki was confused: "???"

"Next!"

This time, he drew the bottom card from the deck.

"Greater Goblin!"

The roar of the Greater Goblin resounded, and Shiki's face turned serious.

"You have one last chance, please make your choice quickly," the system urged.

"Wait a minute!" Shiki shouted, "I want to sacrifice the game designer first before drawing!"

The standard ritual of drawing cards, sacrificing the game designer.

Shiki closed his eyes and reached into the deck to draw a card.

"Undead!"

The sound of death's howl resounded, and Shiki opened his eyes. It didn't seem too bad?

"Please choose one from the three cards."

Shiki weighed his options.

Both the goblin and the greater goblin were humanoid monsters.

Individually, they were not outstanding, and only had combat power when in groups.

The former was small and agile, while the latter was tall and slow.

If he chose them, Shiki estimated that he would have to be a villain in a cave, the kind that encounters adventurers and then ambushes, killing the men and dragging away the women. A thousand words are omitted here.And the undead are quite special. The undead are basically despised by all races, almost everyone sees them as enemies, and there is not a single friendly creature towards the undead, while demons and monsters maintain neutrality towards them. Apart from this drawback, the undead are quite weak in the early stages, like those pathetic skeletal soldiers. Of course, there are also advantages. The undead are the most easily formed race to create an army. In this game, you can be a hero who defeats the demon king, or a monster who robs houses, or a lord who manages and develops, or even launch wars against other races... Anyway, you can do whatever you want. But, whether it is true or not, Shiki doesn't know. If it is true, how did this game pass the review? Too lazy to think so much, let's just go in and play first. "Undead is undead, introverted player starts!" Having chosen the undead, Shiki directly enters the game. "Huh? Where's the character creation? What about entering a game name?" Shiki is dumbfounded. The voice of the system comes: "Since you are the only player who chose the undead in the closed beta, awaken the unique power: Death, bestow the special destiny: Death Sovereign..." "Huh? Good era?" Everything turns black in front of Shiki, and he can't see a single ray of light. His body is also completely immobile. "Hey! System! Why can't I move? Is it a bug on the first day of the game's launch?" "Because you are the only undead player, you possess a special exclusive plot..." The system window pops up in front of Shiki, with a unique mission written on it: The Resurrection of the Death Sovereign. Mission description: A thousand years ago, a terrifying undead known as the Death Sovereign appeared in the world. His undead army terrified all living beings. Angels, humans, demons, and countless other races were no match for his army. The united forces were pushed back in front of his army, and all living beings were horrified, believing that the disaster had struck. However, the undead army suddenly vanished, and the Death Sovereign was only left with a shocking sword of the dead. The surviving living beings wanted to destroy this sword, but all failed and could only build a tomb to bury everything related to the Death Sovereign... Mission completion condition: Reincarnate once again. Mission reward: Unknown. "I've finished reading it. So, how do I get out?" Shiki did not expect that his inherited identity would be so powerful, but how does he get out? Just as he was in distress, he heard some sounds, footsteps approaching this location. "Could it be grave robbers?" Shiki could only think of this, but does this mean he can get out? Outside the stone coffin is the tomb where the Death Sovereign is buried. Several young boys and girls broke in. Unlike humans, they all have dragon horns and tails. "Hurry up! We're almost there!" The red-haired youth leading them shouted to his companions behind. The others quickened their pace. "Rorosa! Lilisa! What's wrong with you?" "Hahaha! They must be scared, cowards~" "Not at all!" The two girls in the back, one with blue hair and the other with red, were different from the other boys and girls with dragon horns. The horns on their foreheads are only a single one, with the red one on the left and the blue one on the right. "Sister, you're trembling." The blue-haired girl whispered. "Shut up, Lilisa!" The red-haired girl endured her fear, but her hands were still trembling slightly. "Don't worry about these two troublemakers, let's go in!" "Okay!" Leaving Rorosa and Lilisa, they entered the tomb chamber at the end. There are several texts left behind by different races on the walls at the entrance to the tomb chamber. Roughly translated, it says: Kingdom of the Dead, No Entry for the Living, Violators: Death.
