Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

At fourteen, he has already awakened to the question: Can I kill everyone?

Katana Master: "Do you have a katana to play with?"

These four short comments simultaneously encapsulate the four sins: sloth, lust, tyranny, and pride. Players truly deserve to die!

If four are like this, what would happen with thirty million?

Ryan was determined to drive away all players and make this game a complete disaster, one that wouldn't even survive the open beta!

The church bells rang, and the stained glass windows let in the dim sunlight. Ryan knelt on one knee, holding his longsword horizontally in front of him.

“In the name of all the ancestors of Lu Ming, Ryan Lu Ming hereby makes this vow.”

Ryan whispered the vow he had made, praying daily to enhance the paladin's abilities.

“I swear, I swear in the name of my father.”

"I swear that I will abandon all formalities."

"I swear that I will correct all errors and falsehoods."

"I swear that I will annihilate all extraterrestrial demons."

The sun was swallowed into the graveyard of the mountains; twilight had arrived, and the lightless beings from beyond the realm would descend at this moment.

New players always need a guide.

Ryan is the Lord of the Darkness. In the original timeline, this generation of Lords of the Darkness would be chosen as an Apostle.

He then saw the silvery solar eclipse and heard distorted whispers in his ears, calls coming from the white sun.

Ryan opened his mind and accepted it.

【Lyan Lumin (Azure Silver Apostle)】

【The Curse/Blessing of the Silver Eclipse】

[Task: Complete the guidance for the Lightless and issue them your first beginner quest]

[Punishment for failure: Loss of Apostle status]

[Reward Amount: 0.1 Blessing x10 (Note: Can only be given as a mission reward to those without light)]

Chapter 30 I'm afraid you'll appear in the 3D zone

As the sun sets, the sunlight flows like molten gold.

【Lyan Lumin (Azure Silver Apostle)】

Ryan raised his hand, and a silver corona suddenly appeared on his wrist, then gradually dissipated. This was the mark left by the Silver Witch, and he was the infamous apostle of the witch.

Legend has it that there have been Plague Witch Apostles, Hunger Witch Apostles, War Witch Apostles, and Death Witch Apostles.

But Ryan is the only apostle of the Azure Silver Witch in the world.

He was not guiding ordinary people without light, but rather players.

Each time a guided task is completed, a so-called reward amount can be obtained.

This quota is not for him, but for the players.

Ryan has the authority to allocate these funds; he can assign any task to the players and use these funds as task rewards for them.

All right.

Now think about how to embezzle it!

Ryan fell into deep thought, and after a second of deep contemplation, he had a brilliant idea: to deduct all of these benefits.

"Ryan, are you alright?"

Just then, Miss Jasmine's slightly hurried voice came from the doorway.

"The white sun just trembled."

“There are traces of the Azure Silver Stone in the Sunset Forest, which is very close to our location.”

The appearance of the Azure Silver Pactstone means that the 'Lightless Ones' are also near, because that is their save point.

Jasmine disliked those without light, and even Mr. Kiri, who was infected with venereal disease outside the door, was more pleasing to the eye than those without light.

Discriminating against people without sight is practically a form of political correctness.

After all, no light means darkness, and the one without light is a resurrected ghost, so the one without light is darkness ().

"Go and see."

Ryan picked up the sword from the ground, thought for a moment, and then said, "By the way, Jasmine, in front of the Lightless Ones, cover your face with shadow... well, just cover your whole body with shadow magic."

"Why?" Miss Jasmine asked curiously.

"I'm afraid you'll appear in the 3D zone."

Ryan spoke earnestly, looking at Miss Jasmine, who was dressed in a white shirt and boots, her beautiful face bathed in warm light. "This is sincere advice."

Guys who play games are all sexually repressed.

Beautiful female character models can motivate players to play the game, and attractive characters are also an important reason for the success of the original work.

Ryan has no intention of giving the players any treats.

"So why?" Jasmine persisted.

"Because you're good-looking." Ryan didn't bother arguing with her.

"Ugh... I don't understand what you're saying," Jasmine said, feigning indifference, her elven ears perking up.

Although she couldn't understand, Jasmine accepted Ryan's wages and did as her boss asked.

The shadow climbed up her ankles, eventually enveloping the girl. She was an assassin of the Shadow School, and her second-circle shadow magic, 'Shadow Body,' allowed her to fulfill Ryan's request.

Ryan pushed open the church door, where Viscount Kiri, whom Miss Jasmine believed to be infected with 'Varicocele', was waiting.

Since contracting the disease, Kiri has been unable to enter this church, as the light of the blazing fire would scorch his body.

"You felt it too, didn't you?"

Kiri was still thinking of persuading Ryan to leave, as he didn't like dealing with such noble scions. "The Azure Silver Stone has appeared outside the city, and the Dark Ones are very close to us this time."

“Young Master,” he said in a hoarse voice, “these things cannot be killed. Even if they die, they will be resurrected endlessly from the curse.”

"But you only have one life, and I can't protect you."

The Lightless are weak; they can be easily killed, but cannot be defeated.

Each death allows it to accumulate power.

Therefore, once traces of the Lightless appear near a town, destruction is not far off.

The locals firmly believe that these are not the reincarnations of the original owners' souls, but rather the filth left behind by the sedimentation of humanity under the light of the silvery sky.

The Lightless Ones originate from the primordial curse, the Pale Eclipse, which is even more terrifying than the third-generation curse, the Curse of Withering.

Kiri referred to the lightless as 'maggots of the soul'.

The decaying flesh breeds maggots, which decompose the nutrients of the original corpse to grow. And what is born from the decaying soul is called the Lightless. The afflicted with withering disease are corpses that have not yet died, while the Lightless are the maggots that breed from the corpse.

Ryan nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that the Dark Ones were indeed at the bottom of the social hierarchy, and even people with STDs could discriminate against them.

Kiri stated the facts: "The fall of Chuguang City was only a matter of time."

"This is your first day in office, but I regret to inform you that you must go home."

Viscount Kiri spoke matter-of-factly; in this critical moment, he had no desire to be the nanny of the young masters and ladies. “I must admit that you are somewhat different from other arrogant noblemen, but that’s all.”

“Although it was only a one-day gilding,” he said, “your resume is still quite impressive compared to other noble sons.”

"If I leave," Ryan asked casually, "what are your plans, Viscount?"

"I am the mayor of Blighttown, and I have been here for thirty years," Kiri said matter-of-factly, a simple statement without any further elaboration, just the literal meaning.

He is, of course, the mayor of Sickly Town, managing a town full of withered monsters, and it has been like this for the past thirty years, so he won't leave.

Even though there was no one in his town.

Although the Lightless can be resurrected, their spread can be stopped by continuously killing them.

"I am the city lord of Chuguang City, and I have only been here for one day."

Ryan replied simply, with his longsword at his waist, his silver eyes fixed on Kiri, his tone matter-of-fact.

"But even if it's only for one day, this is still my territory."

"It's not yours."

“I will not allow you to despise me like this again,” Ryan said coldly. “Kiri.”

The boy's eyes were frighteningly bright, so much so that even the mayor of Drysick Town avoided his gaze.

After a long pause, he slowly said, "...I will obey your command, Lord City Lord."

...

Sunset Forest wasn't far from Dawn City; when they arrived, the sun had just set.

From a distance, I could see traces of the Witch Cult. In this economic downturn, people believe in all sorts of things.

There's no big stage without light; come and do whatever you need.

Some people are superstitious about the sun, some about snacks from the sewers, and naturally some about the Azure Silver Witch, since the latter can barely be considered a person.

These followers call themselves the Witch Cult.

They believed the witch's curse was a blessing, and that the world of light would eventually wither away, so they prayed and praised Azure Silver day and night...

Of course, this applies to ordinary believers. Devout believers study the witch's doujinshi—Ryan was the witch's most loyal follower in his previous life.

These days, with the economy in a downturn, people are researching all sorts of things.

There are doujinshi about the sun, doujinshi about sewer snacks, and naturally, doujinshi about the Blue Silver Witch. But like I said, the latter can barely be considered human...

The book refers to a secret manual.

The Azure Silver Codex states: The inhabitants without light will gain radiance from the Azure Silver Pact Stone.

The Azure Silver Stone, originating from the ashes of a witch, is indestructible and immovable, rooted in the ley lines of the Dark Territory.

To put it simply, it's the players' save points.

In the first closed beta test of Eden, players were born in the Stone of Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest, adjacent to the Twilight Mountains, is the area with the lowest level of curse in the Dark Territory. It is easy to navigate, has beautiful scenery, and is a true beginner's village.

In his previous life, Ryan was among the first beta testers and was immediately awestruck when the game launched.

The game starts with a long, riddle-filled CG sequence, which elevates its sophistication.

With top-notch image quality, millions of branches and leaves rustle. After passing through a slightly dark path, accompanied by faint light, the twilight mountains suddenly appear before your eyes, indicating the start of the journey.

This world-class opening left a deep impression on him.

The first closed beta test propelled the previously unknown Eden to the top ten most anticipated games on the Steam platform.

The first impression of a game is the most important, directly determining player retention and overall evaluation of the game.

After all, the refund period is within the first two hours.

The opening sequence of Eden is undoubtedly world-class.

What Ryan has to do is destroy this world-class opening.

Ryan had already severed that fragile bond of the xylophone!

[Time until the ban is lifted: 10 seconds]
