A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

Cheng Yi closed the specialization selection panel and opened his Trickster spellbook.

A level 5 Trickster can learn three second-circle spells.

He glanced through the list of available spells, his gaze lingering on a few.

First and foremost is Dark Magic, a must-have for board control.

In a dark environment, Cheng Yi's abilities based on shadows can be maximized.

Although there is now a Twilight Shroud as a substitute, the magical darkness created by Dark Arts is superior.

At the very least, you could cosplay as someone using blindness magic...

Moreover, after this period of time, the multi-dimensional mapping provided him with 3 more story points, so Cheng Yi pointed out [Eye of the Fallen Shadow] and [Death].

Eye of the Fallen Shadow

Type: Story Skills/Insight

Description: Your eyes have adapted to the deepest darkness. You gain 60 feet of blindsight and 240 feet of dark vision, and an advantage on perception checks in dim or dark environments. Furthermore, you can see through magical darkness.

Unlock cost: 1 Story Points

Fatal

Type: Story Skills/Assassination

Prerequisite: Dark marks

Description: Your first attack on a creature with full health deals double damage if it hits. If the attack is a critical hit, the damage is doubled again. This skill also applies to sneak attacks.

P.S.: Your second sword pierced his eye socket and went through his skull. If it hadn't been pulled out, it would have been a magnificent work of art. —Jason, the Cruel Observer

Unlock cost: 2 Story Points

The most abstract aspect of dark magic is that even the caster cannot see through the darkness of the magic. But this does not apply to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi then chose the detection strategy.

The wild ideas we had during exams in high school were often derived from the answers in our teachers' minds...

Is this a kind of compensation for the past?

Even as graduation approaches, I realize that exams are probably the last time standard answers will have any effect...

As for now, an assassin who doesn't want to gather intelligence isn't a true wanderer.

After thinking for a long time, Cheng Yi chose the last spell.

Silence spell. (Treat this as part of the spell expansion table)

In the future, Cheng Yi will inevitably encounter more and more magic-based enemies.

At that time, the silencing spell was undoubtedly a devastating blow to spells that contained linguistic elements.

Cheng Yi has decided to follow the classic route of stealth assassination. The Silence spell is also very useful in battles resulting from failed assassinations.

At the very least, it greatly reduces the probability of someone dying during a series of assassination attempts...

[Detection Ideas (Second Ring Road)]

Prophecy School

Casting time: one standard action

Casting range: Self

Cost: 4 mana

Description: With a magical act, you may attempt to penetrate the mind of a target. The target makes a perception save. If the save fails, you learn of their logical reasoning, emotional state, and significant thoughts in their mind (such as worries, loves, and hates). If the save succeeds, the spell ends. In either case, the target will know you are peering into their mind until your attention is removed from it.

P.S.: After reading this, I decided never to read about anyone's family relationships again. —A retired spiritualist

Silence (Second Ring)

Illusion School

Casting range: 120 feet

Cost: 4 mana

Description: You designate a point within casting range. A spherical area with a radius of 20 feet centered on that point will be unable to produce any sound during the spell's duration, and external sounds will also be unable to propagate within this area. Any creature or object completely within this area will be immune to thunder damage, and any creature completely within this area will become deaf. Furthermore, spells containing verbal elements cannot be cast within this area.

P.S.: A series of gestures, crude sign language, a series of gestures... — censored —

Cheng Yi closed his eyes, feeling the magical knowledge flooding into his mind.

It was late at night, but summer nights are always the noisiest of all the seasons.

Downstairs, children were still playing and adults were calling for people to come home.

Cheng Yi closed the window.

[Enter Weekly Dungeon: Mountain Fortress Guarded by the Demon Army (Nightmare)?]

"Yes."

[Teleporting character to the instance...]

A fairly standard feeling of dizziness...

When Cheng Yi opened his eyes again, he was standing on a winding mountain road.

The wind blew in from the depths of the canyon, carrying the smells of sulfur and rust.

The sky was leaden gray, with low-hanging clouds. In the distance, a black fortress stretched between two mountain peaks along the ridgeline.

The fortress walls were covered in green, malevolent flames, which were particularly glaring against the gray sky.

The flames didn't look like normal burning; they looked more like something alive slowly wriggling.

From a distance, a corrupted soldier could be seen patrolling the city wall every ten steps or so.

Cheng Yi walked up the mountain path, stealthily making his way up.

As they approached the vast open space before reaching the fortress walls, a layer of mysterious twilight emanated from Cheng Yi, almost invisible in the dim light of day.

Dusk was falling.

Cheng Yi sensed the surrounding environment, which had become dimly lit, and a thought struck him.

The Dark Scale Armor flashed with an eerie light as the Shadow Cloak technique was activated.

Cheng Yi's figure suddenly disappeared at the edge of the mountain.

He began to move toward the city wall. In the gloomy mountain wind, no one knew that a wanderer dressed as a woman was approaching them.

(So ​​that's why the Dark Scale Armor isn't considered women's clothing. If it was in the past, it still is now!)

Cheng Yi walked to the foot of the city wall and looked up.

The city wall is about ten meters high and is made of rough black stone bricks.

A tiny spider climbed up the city wall.

The spider looked around to make sure the corrupted soldiers were far away.

A grappling hook silently rested on the edge of the city wall's battlements.

Cheng Yi leaped up.

He wasn't completely unprepared after all these days.

Silent hook

Type: Hook

Quality: White

Origin: Kokorolo Halfling Enchantment Workshop

Description: A practice piece by an enchanting apprentice, simply a regular grappling hook with the Silent enchantment applied.
