"The graphics and the style seem pretty good, it looks like it could be played!"

Lin Ke looked at the screen in front of him, which he had unintentionally downloaded and had already entered the initial tutorial, and found it inexplicably interesting.

At this moment, the computer screen displays a ferocious, rock-gray monitor lizard.

The monitor lizard, with its short legs, lunges forward with its massive mouth wide open.

And in front of it as it pounced was a silver-haired knight wearing leather armor.

The knight's face was filled with utter despair. He collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the giant lizard that was about to bite him.

The visuals are incredibly realistic, rivaling even some high-quality cinematic images.

The opening CG scene alone completely piqued Lin Ke's interest.

"Go for it, this is worth a shot."

Lin Ke didn't dawdle any longer; after all, playing the game was more important, so he just went for it.

Furthermore, the computer game screen had already frozen at this point, and there were text prompts for him to make further choices.

[Welcome player Lin Ke to 'Real Game'. Your randomly selected character has been confirmed as a swamp monitor lizard.]

Please select the subsequent options for the current scenario.

(Note: Once this option is confirmed, the player's subsequent gameplay mode will be officially fixed. Please make your decision carefully.)
Option 1: Kill the pioneering knight.

Option 2: Let the pioneering knights go.

[Option 3: Intimidate the pioneering knights and force them to sign a master-servant contract with you.]

Please make a choice:

Looking at the subtitle options on the screen, Lin Ke fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Three options to determine how to play the game afterwards?

Based on this, it seems that this game should have three different gameplay modes.

Option one is to kill someone, and you are putting yourself in the role of a Warcraft player.

So, if I choose to kill the knight in front of me, does that mean the game mode afterward will be against humanity?
Option two is to let them go without killing them?

Does this mean that monitor lizards became friendly with humans and thus joined the human camp?
Is that even possible? Ha.
If this person gets released, it would be a miracle if he didn't form a group to hunt giant lizards.

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts." How could Lin Ke not know this principle? So there's no need for such naive thinking.

But since option two exists, it must also imply a game mode, it's just unclear which one it belongs to.

It can't be that they really let the Knight escape, and then he came back and ganged up on them, causing them to be at their peak from the start and then GG?

Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

However, regarding option three, Lin Ke has another guess.

That means if you let this knight escape, there's a high probability that the knight will find someone to come back and team up to attack you.

Then, he was beaten and captured alive, thus becoming a creature similar to a pet.

Lin Ke felt that the probability was actually quite high.

Option three is precisely the reverse version of this speculation.

"interesting."

Lin Ke smiled slightly, already having made his selection while holding the mouse.

[Option confirmed: Three]

The player chose to intimidate the pioneering knight and threaten him into signing a master-servant contract.

[Further gameplay features have been unlocked for players]

[When players first enter the scene mode, they begin to immerse themselves in the role and take on the character. Countdown: 3, 2...]

When the computer-generated subtitles kept appearing until the very end.

Lin Ke was momentarily stunned, but this stunned moment did not last until he saw the countdown reach 1. He then lowered his head and started typing on the keyboard.

The central border of the Orank continent, a desolate swamp.

"What a joke!!!"

"The message clearly stated that the magical beasts in this swamp were only Tier 1!" "Why are they Tier 2?!"

"I don't want to die!!! I can't die! I absolutely can't die!"

"My mother and Lucia are still waiting for me!"

"Escape!!! I can definitely escape back!!! I definitely can!"

"."

York fled frantically through the jungle surrounding the swamp.

But at this moment, his face was already filled with despair.

As a baron's illegitimate son, he had no right to inherit the lands.

Therefore, if he wanted to obtain a noble title, he only had two options.

One option was to join the army and wait for an opportunity to earn merit and thus be promoted to a noble title.

But such opportunities are rare and hard to come by.

Therefore, he has another relatively easy option.

That is, as a nobleman's son, he can go to the wasteland as a pioneering knight after becoming a formal knight.

If he succeeds in clearing the land, he will be able to rightfully become a lord.

At the same time, he could rightfully take his mother away from the baron's mansion, and only then would he be truly qualified to marry Viscount Callum's second daughter.

However, all of this now seems to have vanished like a bubble.

"Everything was going so smoothly!"

"Why!!! Why!!!"

York's face was streaked with tears of resentment and despair.

At that very moment, a large number of earth spikes suddenly burst forth from the ground.

Although he narrowly escaped a fatal blow, his thigh was pierced by a spike, and he tumbled to the ground in a sorry state.

As he hurriedly propped himself up to pick up the fallen sword, a ferocious, gigantic maw appeared before him!

At that moment, in York's eyes, the whole world seemed to freeze.

A series of images kept flashing through his mind.

"Do not!!!"

"Gods! I don't want to die!!!"

York screamed in terror and despair, tears and snot streaming down his face.

That sight would surely break the hearts of anyone who heard it and bring tears to their eyes.

However, at that moment, time seemed to stand still.

The next moment, something happened that York had never expected.

The ferocious swamp lizard suddenly stopped, its massive body landing right in front of York.

It held its head high and looked down at York.

The two pairs of eyes met, both looking completely bewildered.

At that very moment, a strange, inhuman mechanical voice suddenly rang in York's mind.

[Following an ancient covenant, an unknown and great being descended upon the mortal realm.]

Those who venerate the 'Swamp Giant Lizard', a creature passed down through generations, will gain favor from destiny.

【Frail mortals, make your choice!】

"what?"

York looked dazed, as if he hadn't quite come to his senses yet.

"An ancient pact? An unknown entity? A being from the mortal realm?"

Does it refer to the second-tier swamp giant lizard in front of us?

York was given no time to think; the fear of reality and the immense joy of surviving the ordeal made him make his choice immediately.

"I do!!!"

"Great being, great god! I am willing to serve by your side!"

"Please bestow your grace!"

York looked up at the swamp monitor lizard that was looking down at him.

At this moment, he could even see that the swamp giant lizard's eyes had revealed a wisdom and scrutiny that shouldn't belong to a magical beast.

He shouted, his expression full of pleading.
