The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Those looks reminded him of the disdainful looks his aunts and uncles gave him when they found out he was a shut-in. Only, the looks these villagers gave him were even worse.

"Isn't it strange why they're looking at you like that?" Just as Lu Ming was feeling a bit annoyed by the villagers' malicious stares, Dex arrived at Lu Ming and Lily's temporary home, carrying large and small bags, along with a female elf with a pretty face like his but not at all burly, and four tiny children.

After Weiwei greeted Dex, the Nezha-like spirit's family, Lu Ming looked at the large bags Dex was carrying and asked, "Are you moving?"

"Ah~ because I threatened the village chief yesterday, I can't stay any longer. So my family and I are going to rely on you!"

"Damn it!" Lu Ming was startled when he heard that the Dex family wanted to pin the blame on him. But after looking at the four innocent children, he had no choice but to agree: "Alright, alright! It's my fault, I'll take the blame. But you'll have to kill the Demon Rabbit with me from now on."

"No way? I'm a really good hunter! How could I possibly go and fight a demon rabbit!"

"I don't know who got bitten by the Demon Rabbit and had their hand bleeding, but I was the one who chased the Demon Rabbit away in the end!"

"You chased it away? Are you kidding me! If it weren't for me, you would have been devoured by the demon rabbit long ago!"

After making a few jokes, Lu Ming, who could no longer bear the villagers' malicious gazes, led the Dex family into the house.

"They hate you so much because you, a commoner, defeated several nobles." As soon as they entered the house, Dex put the bags on the table and explained to Lu Ming.

Are they afraid that the nobles will take their anger out on them?

"No. They only did it because you defeated the nobles."

"..." Lu Ming glanced out the window somewhat unhappily, then suddenly laughed and asked Dex, "If I were also a nobleman, would they still act this way?"

“I think… no way!” Dex raised an eyebrow at Lu Ming and laughed, “But what kind of backwater nobleman are you? Dressed in such rags!”

"You! Hmph! One day, I will become a nobleman too! When that happens, I'll show those guys that I, a magic apprentice, am not someone to be trifled with!"

"You!" Dex laughed at Lu Ming's pretentious manner and said, "If you become a nobleman, don't dress so shabby anymore!"

Before Lu Ming could retaliate against Dex, the door to his and Lily's temporary home was knocked on.

Upon opening the door, one sees a beautiful woman, looking rather unwell, standing outside. Behind her stands Fren, his face bruised and swollen.

Without asking, Lu Ming knew that this beautiful woman was Yusaha, whom he had defeated yesterday.

"What is it, 'noble' sir?" Lu Ming looked at Yusaha and Furen with displeasure and asked with a cold smile. He deliberately emphasized the word "noble".

Young and hot-blooded, and having just been beaten up by his sister, Fren became angry when he saw that Lu Ming didn't respect him or his sister. However, since his sister hadn't said anything, he didn't dare to say anything either.

"I've come because I have something I'd like to ask our know-it-all!" Yusaha smiled slightly as he led Furen into the house and spoke to Lu Ming.

"What's going on?" Lu Ming glanced at the bewildered villagers outside the door, then quickly closed it. He then looked at Yusaha with obvious displeasure.

"About this thing." Yusaha, in front of Lu Ming and Dex, undressed, revealing his naked body. Then, to their disbelief, he turned around and pointed to a dark ring on his back that emitted a black mist!

"The Ring of Darkness!?" Lu Ming exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the black ring.

Although he hadn't actually played Dark Souls 1 or 2, and had only watched some of his friends play them, that didn't stop him from knowing what the ring was. Moreover, needless to say, he had already reached the Twin Princes' side in Dark Souls 3 before his transmigration.

“What if you knew, Mr. Lu Ming!” Yusaha smiled slightly, slowly putting on his clothes while looking at the astonished Lu Ming.

"I never expected you to be an immortal!" Lu Ming, who thought he had just transmigrated to an ordinary other world, took a while to force himself to calm down.

"An immortal?" After getting dressed, Yusaha looked at Lu Ming, whose expression was uncertain, and asked, "What does 'immortal' mean? Does it mean I can't die?"

Lu Ming did not answer Yusaha, but instead asked, "As far as you know, how many people have this kind of ring?"

"Besides me, only my sister has it. No one else has ever found it."

"..." Upon hearing Yusaha's reply, Lu Ming subconsciously took out his phone, opened the message bar, and began to check the messages one by one. However, in the end, he still couldn't find any evidence that this world was the world of Dark Souls.

"The Undead are also called Wandering Souls. Because of the Dark Ring behind them, their humanity and soul are constantly being drained away, eventually turning them into living corpses that chase after others and steal their human form and soul!" After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming gave Yusaha an answer that she might not be able to accept.

However, at this moment, he remembered what Lily had said the night before. An unkillable monster is most likely a zombie.

"Is that so? Then, is there any way to get rid of this thing?" Contrary to Lu Ming's expectations, Yusaha was not so weak. She frowned, looked at Lu Ming, and sought to remove what could be called a curse.

"I only know of one person who can remove the Dark Ring. However, I don't know if she is still alive."

“…” Yusaha fell silent after hearing Lu Ming’s answer.

After a while, she got up and prepared to leave with Fren.

But at that moment, Lu Ming's phone suddenly received a message.

Just one glance was enough to startle Lu Ming.

"Because you bestowed your skill upon a native intelligent being, I took it upon myself to extract that skill from her and grant it to some capable mages. As compensation, I added a dimensional dungeon system to your phone."

When you see this message, the dungeon system will have been installed and activated. Have fun on your first dungeon run! Also, if there are other players in your location when the dungeon starts, it will automatically select four of the strongest players to team up with you for a pleasant dungeon experience.

From: God of Magic~

After reading the message, Lu Ming hurriedly opened the copy application that the so-called God of Magic had installed for him, and then saw that there were two seconds left on the countdown.

"Fuck your god of magic!!!" Amidst Lu Ming's furious curse of being tricked, Lily, Dex, Yusaha, and Furen all lost consciousness along with Lu Ming.

Chapter 9 - Dungeon [Hyde's Giant Fire Tower] Part 1 (Seeking Recommendations)

"Where am I? What is this?" Lu Ming, who had lost consciousness due to the application of the God of Magic's dungeon, gradually regained consciousness after an unknown amount of time. But feeling his face pressed between two soft, squishy things, he instinctively reached out and grabbed at them...

"Ah~!!" Then, he heard Lily scream.

"Uh..." Lu Ming, who was still in a daze, suddenly woke up and hurriedly got off Lily. He blushed and didn't dare to look at Lily. Lily also blushed and covered her chest.

"Aren't you two engaged? What, you're getting shy so easily?" At this moment, Yusaha, who had been tricked just like Lu Ming and Lily, stood not far away, looking at the two of them, and teased them.

Upon hearing Yusaha's teasing, Lu Ming immediately looked in her direction, only to discover that Fren and Dex had also been tricked.

However, Lu Ming ignored them, stunned by the sight before him. A lighthouse stood by the sea, and behind it was a church of similar height. Although the road leading there had crumbled over the years, no longer possessing its former glory.

Yet, bathed in the sound of the waves and the afterglow of the setting sun, it remained magnificent, sacred, and holy.

Since ancient times, ancient knights clad in heavy bronze armor have remained here, upholding their ancient oaths and protecting this place. They safeguard the peace of the sanctuary and the lighthouse, preventing any undead from violating its sacredness.

"Hyde Fire Tower..." Lu Ming was stunned as he looked at all of this.

"What, you've been here before?" Hearing Lu Ming's murmur, Furen frowned and asked Lu Ming.

"Wait, wait..." Lu Ming didn't answer Furen, but instead frantically searched his pockets for his phone. However, when he found it, he discovered that the phone was completely empty except for the attribute bar and inventory. There wasn't even a map. Let alone any information.

“I think you don’t need to look at that magical item.” Dex, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up when he saw Lu Ming fiddling with his phone.

"Huh?" Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at him with confusion.

Then he pointed to a large pile of writing on the ground at the intersection of the road leading to the lighthouse and the sanctuary, which was glowing faintly, and said to him and the others, “Because the God who brought us here has written down what we need to know.”

"Wait a minute! You're saying God brought us here?" Hearing Dex's words, Furen was somewhat incredulous.

"Who else did you think it was?"

"..."

Because his messaging app was missing from his phone, Lu Ming walked over there, intending to glance at the words on the ground to analyze the situation. However, he discovered he couldn't recognize any of the characters and yelled, "What the hell is this?! What kind of writing is this?! God of Magic! I'll curse you!!!"

Upon seeing this, Dex and the others were startled. They wondered how Lu Ming dared to insult a god.

However, remembering that Lu Ming had already cursed the God of Magic before being teleported, he decided not to say anything more.

Knowing that Lu Ming probably couldn't understand the words, Dex had no choice but to translate them for him and then explain them to the others as well.

"Because I extracted the Seed Machine skill from your fiancée, out of guilt, I, the God of Magic, have specially granted you compensation—the instance you saw earlier. And by now, I imagine you're already in the first instance with some good friends. However, since this isn't our world, please be careful; if you die, you're truly dead. If you're immortal, please ignore this message. From: God of Magic~"

"Wait a minute! Isn't that a god? Then why is He using honorifics in His message? And what does He mean by the 'seed-extraction machine' skill?" The one complaining wasn't Lu Ming, but rather a completely bewildered Fren. After listening to Dex's translation, he felt the amount of information contained within was simply overwhelming!

Unfortunately, no one answered him. Because, apart from Lu Ming, everyone else, like him, didn't know what was going on.

Lu Ming, however, focused his attention on the two key points: 'those who will die' and 'those who will not die'.

At this moment, Lu Ming also discovered that the platform they were on was originally the location of the passage connecting Rumi and the Hyde Giant Fire Tower, but now it was gone. Instead, it had become the small platform they were standing on now.

"There's no exit here. The only way to leave is to defeat the dragon riders or ancient dragon hunters here. But is everything here exactly the same as the old Hyde Tower of Fire? Are the ancient knights still so stupid? Or have they become smarter?"

Lu Ming knew exactly what a dungeon was. But the current situation was that he had to complete it before he could leave—a powerful dungeon. He couldn't escape until he finished it.

However, Lu Ming was somewhat worried that the monsters in the Hyde Tower of Fire, which had become part of the real world, might be much smarter than those in the game.

Because he's terrible at games, Lu Ming only played up to the port of Mirkham in Dark Souls 2 before giving up. Besides, if it weren't for his friend playing, he wouldn't have been able to play Dark Souls at all – a game that's a nightmare for players with poor hand-eye coordination. However, having played Dark Souls 2 and been captivated by the story, and even watched a playthrough video, he knew what monsters were in Hyde's Tower of Fire.

But can these five people really break through here?

After thinking it over, Lu Ming decided to try out one of the Hyde Knights sleeping at the crossroads first, to see how strong the monsters were here.

So he pointed to the helmet with several arrows stuck in it, and the knight, as white as a corpse, leaning against the roadside railing, commanded Dex: "Dex, shoot that undead man awake!"

"That guy is alive?" The others were startled when they heard Lu Ming's words. To them, the knight Lu Ming was pointing at was a corpse.

"How can someone who doesn't die die so easily?" Lu Ming, who had been tricked by the God of Magic, turned around angrily and asked, only to find that Yusaha's already pale face had become even more unpleasant.

However, since she didn't have a good relationship with Yusaha and the others to begin with, Lu Ming wouldn't bother with her.

"Dex, we have no other way back now except to finish this fight. So this guy is our first enemy, and also the benchmark for testing the strength of the enemies in this place. If we can't even beat him, then our only option is to jump into the sea and commit suicide!"

Hearing Lu Ming say this, Dex didn't think much of it. He immediately raised the bow and arrow that had been teleported with him, and, imitating Lu Ming, cursed, "Fuck your god of magic!" He then shot the arrow into the gap in the helmet of the knight wearing white armor.

Knight Hyde was perfectly at peace with his feigned death when Dex was inexplicably shot with an arrow. Enraged, he immediately drew his longsword, lowered his head, and charged at Dex like a blind man.

"Dex back, Fren up!" Seeing Hyde Knight running over, Lu Ming, who had served as a temporary commander when playing games with his friends back in the day, immediately started giving orders.

Unfortunately, after Dex ran away, Furen completely ignored him. After all, he had absolutely no connection with Lu Ming. Moreover, he had been severely beaten by Yusaha yesterday because of Lu Ming.

Seeing that Fren wouldn't attack, Lu Ming had no choice but to use the Seed Machine skill on the Hyde Knight who was about to charge. In an instant, a series of seeds were sprayed out and hit the Hyde Knight.

However, just like the blind man, when the seed machine was aimed at him, Hyde Knight suddenly used his Hyde Longsword to cut down most of the seeds, leaving only a very small number of seeds to hit him.

After being hit by the seed, Hyde Knight's armor and barrel-like helmet shattered, revealing his mummy-like body that had been hidden by the armor.

"Roar~!" The Hyde Knight, who had forgotten how to speak, suddenly pulled out the arrow that had been stuck in the gap of his helmet and hit his eye. Then he opened his almost blind eyes, roared, and changed his target, rushing towards Lu Ming.

"Although I knew the Undead weren't good-looking, I never imagined they were this bad. Fine Snow!" After making a slight complaint about the disgusting appearance under Hyde Knight's helmet, Lu Ming froze Hyde Knight's body with Fine Snow without saying a word just as Hyde Knight was about to kill him.

Compared to level 3 light snow, level 4 light snow is much colder.

With just one skill, Hyde Knight's armor was frozen.

Although Hyde Knight could still move thanks to her strong willpower, the chill of the fine snow made her movements very slow!

At this moment, Dexter, who had run away, also re-nocked his arrows and drew his bow fully.

Lu Ming drew the Sage's Candlestick and, before Hyde Knight could forcefully attack under the frozen snow, plunged the Sage's Candlestick into Hyde Knight's chest.

But this didn't kill Hyde Knight directly; instead, it knocked Lu Ming to the ground with a single punch.
