"The Second World" Update Log Version 0.21

Refined the series of systems such as creature level, affection, and race reputation

Shiki glanced at the detailed instructions

Affection and race reputation have added a progress bar (0/100).

For example, his current relationship with Mana Kin is friends (50/100).

And the attitude of the Goblin race is neutral (50/100).

In addition, the nine major levels of creature levels, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and EX, have been further refined into ten smaller levels, such as E1, S9, SSS10, etc.

Shiki looked at himself, and in the form of a human being with the blood of the Black Dragon King, he was SS nine stars, and in the form of undead, he was EX ten stars.

The shape-shifting witch, Vikith, is S five stars.

Forum players have also simplified these levels, such as E1, S9, SSS10, and so on.

After this update, the levels of some creatures can be better divided, allowing players to better understand the differences between creatures. For example, the weakest C-level dragon clan has become B5. Rorosa and Lilisa are such examples.

"The game developers are really diligent..."

To be honest, if it were him before, he might really believe that this is just a game, because the game has updates, it cannot be a real parallel world.

But now, he has doubts because the updated content pushed out only updates the player system and does not really affect this world. It just provides players with clearer information divisions...

Deep in thought, Shiki could only continue on his journey. There was nothing he could do about thinking too much. All he wanted now was to familiarize himself with the game and make a fortune during the open beta.

"Master, we have arrived..."

Shiki and Vikith stopped in the forest in front of the mountains and found a hidden spot to tie up the horse.

According to the instructions on the map, they would have to pass through the forest and mountains to reach the location of the ruins.

"Vikith, watch your surroundings. Mana Kin said there are cyclops here..."

Vikith nodded and became alert.

On the other side, in the mountains, a fully armed squad was conducting a thorough search.

"Captain, nothing was found here!"

"Keep searching!"

"Yes!"

They were a squad sent by The Stan Duchy, responsible for finding the ruins hidden in this area.

"Those goblins are eyeing something. Hmph, we can't let those cunning dwarves find it..."

In the Goblin Merchant Association in Tenfang City

"Kin, do you really trust that adventurer? If the pocket watch is lost, both of us will be sent to slavery by headquarters..." Mana Jones found time to talk to his son.

Mana Kin didn't expect his father to know, but he thought for a moment, "Father, didn't you stop me either?"

Mana Jones smiled slightly, "Yes, this is indeed a gamble. The people from The Stan Duchy have also sent someone there..."

"Our friend has been baptized by dragon blood, and that dragon is definitely not weak..." Mana Kin believed that Shiki would be able to overcome the difficulties.

"Well, if your friend can bring out more useful information and things from the ruins, headquarters will definitely reward us nicely. Our position will also rise..."

- - -

In the mountains, Shiki encountered no beast attacks along the way.

"It's strange, it seems like someone has swept through here..."

Shiki had a feeling that there were other people searching for something in these mountains. Judging from the nearby footprints, those people hadn't gone far.

More importantly, the footprints left behind by these people were very different.

The depth of the footprints was deeper than that of normal people, obviously due to heavy armor.

And those who could afford such heavy armor were probably not ordinary adventurers; there was a high probability that they were an army.

At this moment, Vikith came over, and the two searched separately for the traces of others. Shiki didn't find anything here.

"Master, I found them. It's the army of The Stan Duchy, about a hundred people..."

Vikith reported what she had seen and heard to Shiki."A team of 100 people, came here to find something..." Shiki didn't expect the goblins to be so attracted to what she had. She couldn't let others get their hands on it.

"Vikith, let's go check it out."

Vikith led the way, and the two of them found the gathering place of the army.

The people from The Stan Duchy were searching aimlessly in the mountains, they didn't have the map Shiki had.

"It's a bit troublesome, these people have taken over the path to the ruins..."

According to the game, you just eliminate anyone blocking the way, but these people must have received some orders to come here. If they were all killed, it would definitely raise suspicions.

"Master, should I take care of them?" Vikith asked.

"No need, it's better for us not to expose our identities, I'll go alone..."

The transformation mask was a good item, Shiki changed back into her undead form in an instant, and the area was immediately enveloped in the effect of the undead catastrophe.

The soldiers were stunned in place, unable to move.

"Some of the wild beasts' corpses here will be useful to me..."

Using the Sovereign's Conjuring spell, Shiki revived the beasts that the soldiers had cleared and directed them towards the soldiers.

The captain of the soldiers struggled hard to break free from the restrain of the undead catastrophe, but his current combat power definitely couldn't compare to before. It was terrifying, what on earth was this thing?

He scanned his surroundings, and suddenly he saw an extremely dreadful person...

No, was that a person?

That person looked at him and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

"Ah!!!"

The soldiers around screamed in horror as the revived beasts tore into the immobilized soldiers.

"Undead..."

The captain never expected to encounter such a powerful undead creature here, but he was helpless now. His neck was bitten off in one bite and he fell into a pool of blood.

"...Is it a bit cruel?"

Shiki muttered to herself, this scene was indeed a bit bloody. But that's how undead creatures were, they were hated by most living beings. Should they hold hands and be friends instead?

After these soldiers were eliminated, Shiki turned the beasts back into corpses, so that she could fake the scene as an accident.

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

Seeing Shiki's actions, Vikith's heart was also stirred up. Was this the power of the Death Sovereign?

Even though she was not affected by the undead catastrophe, the impact it brought was still huge. Weak living beings had no way to stand before the Death Sovereign.

Rongse City, the main city of The Kessel Duchy.

The incident with the giant dragon in Leshi Town had already been reported to the adventurer's guild in the city, along with the matter of the five zombies.

The identities of the five zombies were quickly investigated. They had appeared in the town's adventurer's guild not long ago, but then disappeared. When they appeared again, they had already turned into zombies.

The president of the adventurer's guild in Rongse City frowned when he saw this news.

"Zombies, could it be people studying necromancy?"

He held the report and walked to the window, looking outside.

"If it's true, then it's too dangerous. The church should be happy to send people to investigate..."

The president smiled slightly. He didn't plan to handle this matter himself, but rather leave it to the people from the Bright Church. Dealing with undead required professionals...
