Temple

It contains a hidden paradise.

Han Dong, who landed on the cold ground, did not sense any ghosts of the Mexican workers, nor did he have the slightest premonition of danger.

The beam of the flashlight illuminated a large door that glowed with a yellow light.

Countless charred Mexican corpses were clustered on either side of the giant gate, as if drawn by some force to enter... however, they seemed to be ineligible to enter.

It seems that even his soul was annihilated because of the contact with the door.

"This is!!"

Han Dong was shocked.

It wasn't because of this hidden underground door,

It's not because of these poor Mexican workers whose souls have been drained.

Instead, the door's surface was marked with symbols familiar to Han Dong.

"Yellow Seal"

That's right!

It was the special mark left by the mysterious Yellow Robe on the back of Han Dong's left hand... that was now imprinted on the surface of this underground gate.

Immerse yourself in the unique K-pop film system.

Both the Faceless Head and the yellow mark on the back of his left hand were sealed off.

Currently, the mark icon cannot be activated on the back of Han Dong's left hand... It seems that the yellow mark is blocked to a higher degree than the head.

Push the door open!

The door, which appeared to be shrouded in a pale yellow glow, was easily pushed open by Han Dong, granting him access to the interior.

In an underground Stone Chamber the size of a supermarket, stands a statue nearly four meters tall.

His appearance was exactly that of the mysterious Yellow Robe that Han Dong had seen.

"So this is why the supermarket is being protected!? Why is it related to the mysterious Yellow Robe Man...?"

They even said that this incident was directly related to me, which caused the unusual yellow mark on the back of my left hand to appear in this way?

Just as Han Dong, filled with doubt, approached the stone statue step by step.

Several small yellow dots are reflected on the surface of the statue.

The spots continued to expand until they completely stained the stone carving yellow.

The soft yellow robe slowly opened from the center, as if wanting to give Han Dong a loving hug...

The inner layer of the yellow robe is a mesmerizing scene of cosmic constellations; gazing at it for too long will leave one completely lost in it.

At the same time, a system notification sounded:

The Yellow Temple has been discovered.

Card Upgrade or Exchange for High-Tier Cards can be performed in this area. (Note: The Yellow Temple will protect this area from attack; it is an absolutely Safe Zone.)

Basic Card Upgrade Instructions:

Upgrade method: Sacrifice the mist monsters

(Note: 1. The monster to be sacrificed must be a living creature and must be brought to the Yellow Temple.)

2. The amount of sacrifice required for each card is different.

Upgrade effect: The cost of the basic card remains the same, but its basic effects (duration, power, etc.) will be comprehensively improved.

High-tier cards available for exchange:

[Ability Card] - Tentacle Power.

Content: Allows permanent use of tentacle-like abilities, but each use consumes Mythical Energy Mythical Energy (which can be obtained by preying on, hunting, or sacrificing monsters in the mist).

You need to successfully overcome the ' Level 3 ' ominous sign to obtain this card (requirement met).

[Ability Card] - The Faceless Walker's Dreadful Head.

Passive effect: No longer affected by brain-related effects such as hallucinations, madness, and delusions below the head level.

You can obtain this card by successfully passing through the ' Level 5 ' ominous sign.

Remark:

After upgrading your basic cards and acquiring higher-tier cards, you can explore the open world of mist and seek opportunities to escape it.

Of course, if you have absolute confidence in your own abilities, you can start exploring in advance.

A message from the temple. "The longer it goes on, the thicker the fog will become."

"Hmm... So it's about the Safe Zone and upgrade settings."

However, the system also explained to me the ultimate goal (escaping the fog) and a contradictory problem that I had to consider.

I can choose to stay in the absolutely safe supermarket area for a long time, wait for the ominous signs to appear and deal with them, until I have enough Omen Points and upgrade all the basic cards.

However, as time is wasted, the terrifying creatures lurking in the fog will grow even stronger.

This is where I need to weigh the issue of time.

I have experienced discomfort from witnessing horrific scenes multiple times, but this will no longer be the case once the Faceless Head is unlocked.

How about this?

If the next ominous sign arrives and it happens to be at Level 5 difficulty.

Once I successfully pass through, I will receive Ability Card and begin a full-scale exploration of the mist.

If the next ominous sign isn't at Level 5 difficulty, I'll try to explore... Waiting too long will only lead to death. After all, the Faceless Head only provides mental immunity; encountering a powerful being will still result in certain death.

Han Dong will handle the conflict appropriately to maximize the probability of survival.

Because the Level 3 ominous sign has been successfully overcome.

Han Dong reached his arm deep into the body of the yellow-robed statue and retrieved the [Ability Card - Tentacle Power] from its form, which resembled the depths of the starry sky.

As stated in the system explanation.

These high-level cards take effect immediately upon being used.

For a moment, Han Dong could feel a 'wriggling sensation' in many parts of his body... and was able to normally use his former tentacle abilities.

The power consumed by this ability is Mythical Energy.

In other words, Han Dong needs to absorb as much energy as possible from monsters when the [Mythical Stage] arrives, without consuming any extra Omen Points.

"Ominous signs, reality, the yellow mark, and the ability that should have belonged to me, but was indirectly sealed away in the form of cards..."

The puzzles are increasing, but if these puzzles are all closely related, aren't they also clues to understanding the current Destiny Event?

Perhaps I've already mastered two completely different ways to beat the game.

The supermarket's back warehouse.

Just as the protagonist David and his group were convinced that the foul-mouthed writer was dead, and considering that there was a terrifying monster lurking below, they were preparing to reseal the hole they had dug.

"You bunch of idiots, are you just going to abandon me like this? Hurry up and throw down the rope to pull me up."

Hearing the curses coming from below the cave entrance, the group of people dared not delay and quickly used ropes to pull Han Dong up.

Some people were not concerned about Han Dong's safety, but rather whether there was Way Out down there.

Is there any chance for us to survive down here?

"There's not much chance of survival! However, a stone tablet below records the origin of the [Mist]. To survive, we have no choice but to escape the area shrouded by the mist."

The fog isn't indefinite; we have a chance to escape.

Han Dong deliberately fabricated a lie to lay the groundwork for future events... After all, once he survived another ominous sign, Han Dong planned to explore the fog and try to escape its range.

Hearing this reply, a faint spark ignited in everyone's hearts.

Just then.

"Ah!!!!"

Screams came from the supermarket lobby area.

Immediately afterwards, the Omen Pouch at Han Dong's waist also began to shake.

"Something happened first, then I had to draw a card? It really is the ominous sign affecting reality..."
