Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

Each player can have a room.

This is not only an absolutely secure area, but it also creates storage space; the more upscale the room, the larger the personal storage space.

A standard room is 20 square meters.

The storage space is roughly the same as a large suitcase.

Xiao Yu used the token to upgrade, and his room immediately became a large apartment with a one-bedroom, one-living room layout, a separate toilet and bathroom, and the storage space also increased to the size of a van.

The treasure chest also yielded equipment, heroes, and soul stones.

The quality of the items, from lowest to highest, is: gray, white, green, blue, purple, red, orange, silver, and gold.

Resources were extremely scarce in the early stages.

Gray equipment is also very valuable.

A chilling longsword appeared in Xiao Yu's hand. Its material appeared to be some kind of steel, yet it gleamed with a faint gray light. This was no ordinary weapon, but a weapon with extraordinary properties.

All equipment has adaptive capabilities.

There will be no issue with the fit.

[Fine Iron Sword], Gray Superior Grade, Base Attack +3, Durability 10.

Xiao Yu took out the Heroic Spirit, a gray transparent bead from which a transparent figure could be seen, wearing leather armor, carrying a quiver of arrows, and holding a longbow.

[Nameless Archer Heroic Spirit], gray quality, a complete heroic spirit of a nameless archer, can be trained up to level 10, and can be contracted by consuming 10 points of spiritual power.

What is a Heroic Spirit?

It is both a way of summoning a baby.

It is also a cultivation technique or skill book.

Xiao Yu decisively injected his spiritual power, and the shattered soul pearl's spirit merged into his body.

[Mental Strength -10!]

You have formed a contract with the "Nameless Archer Heroic Spirit"!

You can acquire the skill "Precision" from the "Nameless Archer"!

Open the player panel.

The information has changed.

-

Name: Xiao Yu.

Level: 1.

Contracted Heroic Spirit: Nameless Archer (Level 1).

Life: 10/10.

Spirit: 0/10.

Soul Essence: 0/50.

Skill: Precision (Not activated).

Talent: Omniscient Saint.

-

not difficult to see.

Player attributes depend on level and equipment.

The core abilities depend on the Heroic Spirits. The stronger and rarer the Heroic Spirits you can collect, and the higher the level of the Heroic Spirits you can train, the richer and more powerful the abilities you can obtain!

If you can obtain top-tier ancient characters.

For example, Lü Bu, Li Cunxiao, and so on.

The effect it can have and the increase it can generate will be extremely exaggerated!

Even if an unnamed archer is trained to the level 10 cap, its combat power and abilities are still quite limited, and it can only provide two or three low-level skills at most.

Heroic Spirit Skills will be unlocked as you level up.

Currently, the archer is only level 1 and has only one skill called "Precision," which Xiao Yu needs to consume some soul essence to cultivate.

This skill is only so-so.

This heroic spirit is only the lowest-ranking gray spirit.

Even so, it can play a huge role in the early stages, and is at least a very good choice for the transition.

100 gray soul stones were found inside the treasure chest.

This is the hard currency for purchasing goods and services.

The Ark Shop offers a variety of daily necessities, medicines, and other consumables. You can also buy or repair equipment, and even purchase several initial Heroic Spirits.

Open the shopping list.

I bought a batch of water and dry food.

A total of 5 Soul Stones are enough to last for ten days.

Xiao Yu checked the medicine catalog and found that the only medicines available for purchase were "Life Dew Crystal (Gray)" and "Spirit Dew Crystal (Gray)," each costing as much as 3 Soul Stones.

They represent red medicine and blue medicine, respectively.

Each use restores 10 points of health or spirit, but the restoration process takes a full thirty seconds and the effects do not stack.

In order to execute the next plan.

[You have purchased 20 "Spiritual Dewdrops" and 60 Gray Soul Crystals!]

[You have purchased 10 "Life Dewdrops" and 30 Gray Soul Crystals!]

"That's about it!"

Because all of his mental energy was exhausted.

Xiao Yu felt extremely tired at this moment.

However, there is no need to use "spiritual crystals" to restore mental energy. These consumables are important strategic resources in the early stages, and mental energy can be slowly restored through rest and sleep.

I spent almost the entire next day resting in my room.

As mental energy gradually recovers to full.

We're about to set sail.

Xiao Yu teleported to the deck.

The place was overcrowded with nearly a thousand people gathered there.

Xiao Yu was not surprised at all; in the end, the vast majority of people would choose to board the ark, and each initial ark could accommodate 1000 people.

This ark is located on a university campus, so university students around twenty years old make up 60-70% of the passengers!

Everyone was filled with trepidation, fear, and excitement, and of course, there was also fervor and anticipation.

Many elderly and frail professors are now full of energy.

Many teachers and students have awakened all sorts of strange abilities.

The discussion was lively and bustling.

"Holy crap! Everyone, come quick! Li Zihao from Automation Class 2 has awakened the ability to launch fireballs!"

"Awesome! Awesome!"

"So cool!"

"I'm so envious!"

"What's so special about that? Professor Yang from the law school can control lightning!"

"I still think Zhao Xuezhu from our School of Economics and Management has the real ice-freezing ability!"

"Hahaha, this is awesome! It seems even us losers have a chance to rise up and become the protagonist!"

"..."

Every player possesses physical abilities that exceed human limits, and many teachers and students have even acquired extraordinary abilities, which is undoubtedly a miracle to them, filling them with trepidation, fear, and anticipation.

The Amazing Ark.

It showed people endless possibilities.

However, most of these people were eliminated in the early stages, so even Xiao Yu had no information about them, but a few survived to the middle stages.

In addition, there are many talented individuals with great potential.

This deserves close attention.

Without thinking too much.

The old ark trembled.

Everyone received a notification.

[The Ancient Ark is setting sail, all players please prepare!]

Everyone can see this clearly.

After the Ark started to operate.

The light of all galaxies in the universe is fading rapidly.

When the old ark broke through the boundaries of reality, enveloped in a pale golden protective shield, it entered some kind of viscous and strange medium, entering a space that transcended the limits of cognition and imagination.

"Where am I?!"

Everyone stared in horror at what was happening before them.

A bizarre, grotesque, and indescribable abstract world.

That was a chaotic space composed of countless illusory energy flows. Hundreds of millions of lightning bolts that should have disappeared in an instant passed by, but instead of disappearing, they solidified and then, like vines, entangled and grew wildly, constantly tearing apart space and time.

Where the ark passed.

Projections of various civilizations.

Various magnificent cities appear and disappear.

Yet the buildings, which are made of inorganic matter, seem to be alive, growing tentacles, eyeballs, teeth, or deformed tumors and skeletons, while uttering all sorts of strange babbling.

Clusters of nebulae and mists spread and enveloped billions of stars in the distance, constantly churning and evolving into terrifying forms, from which a malevolent god, billions of light-years in size, was born.

Countless historical fragments.

Countless phantom spirits.

It filled this chaotic space.

Human understanding of common sense and physics becomes meaningless; life, energy, matter, space, time, and even all concepts lose their proper boundaries, ultimately forming an absolutely chaotic world.

Xiao Yu knew.

This is the "deep sea"!

Humans cannot truly see the deep sea.

Human beings have very limited sensory organs.

What we see is only a fraction of the refracted projection.

Secondly, the Ark acted as a filter, isolating all pollution and protecting minds; otherwise, even if all of humanity's rationality were combined, it would be like a flickering candle falling into a raging storm.

"Where exactly is this place?"

"Warhammer 40K's warp travel? That's probably nowhere near as terrifying as this!"

"That's terrifying!"

"Can we really survive?"

"..."

After the Ancient Ark entered this place, countless indescribable evil gods from the distant depths of the void in all directions tried to capture it, and it was subjected to billions of chaotic torrents every second.

However, the Ark can temporarily counter these threats.

Its speed increased, and it broke through some kind of barrier again, like a submarine breaking out of the "sea".

boom!

All the illusory phenomena, all the bizarre madness, all the indescribable, and all the concepts and pollution beyond human comprehension, all fell and sank beneath the ark, eventually stabilizing and materializing into a gradually calming sea.

Everything is settled!

The old game has officially begun!
