In a certain world, a red light flashed.
Richard appeared kneeling, then stood up and looked around.
He discovered that this appeared to be an ancient village, and he was currently located outside the village.
He carefully examined the village...
A long wooden fence simply enclosed the entire village, and the main gate had a gate resembling a memorial archway with three strange characters crookedly written on it.
Richard frowned, searching his memory for a long time, but couldn't find a similar font.
Looking into the village from the gate, most of the buildings are thatched huts, with the better ones being two-story wooden houses...
At that moment, a white light suddenly flashed one meter inside the village gate.
Richard was startled and immediately assumed a defensive stance, with two red Rings of Raggadorr appearing on his fists.
He seemed to hear a 'ding' sound.
Richard didn't have time to investigate; he stared wide-eyed at the figure that appeared after the white light disappeared.
It was a young man, wearing nothing but boxer shorts, and carrying a wooden stick...
The man looked down at himself, seemingly very Wrath.
He raised the wooden stick, yelling "woo-li-wa-la" as he rushed out of the village gate.
As she passed by Richard, she glanced at him and gave him a look of envy and jealousy.
So he shouted even louder and ran even faster...
Watching the man leave, Richard was somewhat bewildered. He put away the Rings of Raggadorr and suddenly remembered the 'ding' sound.
Before he could figure out where the sound was coming from, a transparent panel suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Holy crap!" Richard stared at it in shock; the font displayed on it was pure Chinese characters.
[Character: Richard ]
[Race: Human Race ]
[ Mana: lv 4]
[Skill: Energy Shield Lv. 5]
Richard:???
Richard looked at the panel with a puzzled expression, his first thought being:
So simple...
Furthermore, the Mana " likely refers to the " Divine Power " within him, as for the Energy Shield...
Could it be the Rings of Raggadorr that he just released?
Richard immediately realized...
This panel is activated because of the skill I used?!
His eyes lit up, and a bold idea began to form in his mind.
He opened his right hand, and with a 'bang', an orange-red fireball appeared in his right palm.
'Ding~'
Richard's eyes widened instantly. He quickly looked at the panel, where a new skill had appeared in the skills section...
[ Fireball Lv3]
"Holy crap, it really is true!"
"Try again!"
Richard silently chanted an incantation, and the orange-red fireball in his palm slowly turned a golden yellow.
'Ding~'
[ Fireball. 6]
"Again!"
Richard's eyes lit up with excitement as he continued to silently recite the incantation for ' Pyroblast '...
'Boom~'
The fireball in his right palm swelled to the size of a basketball, and its color changed to a beautiful blue-white.
'Ding~'
[ Fireball Lv 9 (max)]
Wow!
Richard looked at the Fireball, which had become level 9, with surprise.
Lost in his excitement, he didn't notice that Dark Clouds were gathering in the sky above the village...
At that moment, a white light flashed, and a new man in boxer shorts appeared. He immediately spotted Richard outside the village, dressed in mysterious ( Combat Mage ) attire, holding and dragging a blue-white fireball.
"Holy crap, this is amazing!"
Richard suddenly turned his head; he had actually understood what the man in boxer shorts had said.
The man in boxer shorts carried a wooden stick out of the village entrance, glancing enviously at Richard and the fireball in his hand. The next second, he excitedly charged out, brandishing the stick.
"Aaaaaah!"
" Wild Chicken outside the village! I'm back again!"
Richard dispersed the fireball and fell into deep thought.
Wild Chicken? Boss?
Could this world be some kind of Game World?
"Holy crap, why is it getting dark?!"
A gasp came from the village, waking Richard.
He looked up abruptly and saw a vortex of dark Dark Clouds gathering above the village, with lightning crackling at its center, as if brewing some terrifying attack.
" Heavenly Punishment! It's Heavenly Punishment!"
A girl wearing white underwear and carrying a wooden staff suddenly screamed in horror.
"Holy crap? Heavenly Punishment?!"
"Could it be that there are Cheater here too?!"
Cheater?
Richard was wondering when he suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitations.
Oh no, those things in the sky are aimed at me!
He dared not stay any longer, so he raised his hand, opened the Portal, and rushed inside.
'Ding~'
The moment the Portal opened, another notification sounded.
As soon as the Portal disappeared, the vortex in the sky froze instantly.
A mechanical, electronic voice, indistinguishable between male and female, faintly sounded.
'No anti-cheating program detected... Heavenly Punishment System is shutting down...'
Spatial fluctuations detected... Tracking System activated...
Richard knew nothing about this Game World, so the Portal he opened was a random teleportation.
Stepping out of the Portal, he found himself in what appeared to be a valley.
On the grassland in the middle of the valley, there were groups of goat-like animals with two long horns on their heads...
He looked closely and realized that these goats were game monsters, with red Health Bar and a bright LV16 level above their heads.
Just as he was about to observe further, the Goat Monster suddenly became agitated.
Then the sky darkened again...
Richard looked up and saw Dark Clouds gathering above the valley, and a vortex of Thunder rapidly forming...
' Cheater detected... Heavenly Punishment System activated...'
Richard's expression changed as he heard the barely audible mechanical electronic voice.
He quickly swiped his hand and teleported away again.
The vortex of Thunder in the sky froze once more.
Spatial fluctuations detected... Tracking in progress...
This time, Richard was teleported to a boundless sea of flowers, and what made his scalp tingle was that every single flower in the sea of flowers was a monster!
A monster resembling an orchid at his feet suddenly bloomed, revealing a mouth with sharp teeth, and lunged to bite his foot.
"Holy crap!"
Richard quickly stomped on the Orchid Monster and flattened it!
'Ding~'
The notification sounded again, but Richard didn't dare to delay. He opened the Portal again and left the dangerous sea of flowers.
After he left, a crack appeared in the sky above the sea of flowers. The crack opened, revealing a huge eye flashing with Thunder!
' The Cheater has left... Continue tracking...'
Richard will be randomly assigned to an island, and his location happens to be right by the sea.
This time he dared not delay; his intuition told him that this Game World was extremely dangerous for him right now!
He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and sensed the Magic Mark he had left in the Marvel.
"Open the Spirit Path World-Expansion Channel!"
Crimson energy surged from his body, and a diamond-shaped Portal slowly opened.
'Ding~'
Richard ignored the notification sound, nervously watching the slowly expanding Cross-realm Portal, silently urging it on.
Faster, faster!
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and Giant Eye of Thunder opened.
' Cheater detected... Heavenly Punishment activated...'
