King's Return

The first thing I saw was the login screen for the game "War of the Gods." I had just entered the correct password and hadn't even had a chance to enter the game when Mofeitosi's voice came through.

Mofeitosi: "Hey, have you decided what character you want to play yet?"

Xiao Yu: "I've already decided, this time we'll play Undead."

Mofeitosi: "Undead? What's so fun about Undead? Dragon Clan are way cooler."

Xiao Yu: "Dragon Clan, did you even read the game description? This game doesn't offer Dragon Clan to players."

That's right. In the War of the Gods, Dragon Clan are considered a high-level monster race and are not available to players. There are many other similar monsters as well. Basically, any monster with a particularly high level of prestige is not available to players.

Xiao Yu: "The three of us all play Undead, so it'll be easier to team up. I'll play a skeleton, you'll play a zombie, and there's a girl playing a ghost with me."

The main reason for choosing the Undead was their unique attribute of Undead immune to mind control. Other creatures with similar attributes include constructs (mechanical units) and elemental creatures. However, he didn't want to play with robots, and he was tired of playing with elementals, so he decided to try out the Undead.

Mofeitosi: "Walking corpses? Damn it, I'm not playing as a walking corpse. Stinky, filthy, covered in rotting flesh, I'm not a pervert. Forget it, I'm not hanging out with you anymore. I'm going to play by myself. What kind of nonsense is this, not even allowing Dragon Clan to play? I'm going to play as an adventurer."

After saying that, Mofeitosi fell silent.

Damn it, this is so disorganized and undisciplined! Xiao Yu cursed inwardly. They had agreed on everything before, so why did they start disobeying as soon as they got started? These days, people's hearts are scattered, and it's hard to lead a team.

"What are we going to do now, master? We can't play without a tank!" Chenghong Moli teased from the side.

According to the game's description, even with monster templates, it's impossible for one person to dominate like before. There will be distinctions between tanks, healers, and DPS. Mofeitosi was Xiao Yu's designated main tank, but unexpectedly, he quit.

Xiao Yu said, "Don't be afraid, I know plenty of people. I can easily bring a couple over."

"Hey, is this Esmehalda? I'm playing War of the Gods right now. Interested in playing monster characters together? I've already designed one for you. You play the zombie, and I'll play the skeleton. We can be inseparable, right? -- Hey! Hey! Huh, why did you hang up?"

Xiao Yu sent another message to Leah Bloodmoon.

"Hey, Xiaoyueyue, are you there? Want to play a game together? War of the Gods, yeah, it's the monster template. What kind of monster? I've already arranged it for you. You can play the zombie, okay? Hey, why are you swearing? If you don't want to play, then don't play. Why are you getting so worked up?"

After two phone calls, he figured it out: most people couldn't handle such a grotesque monster character as the zombie. No, he needed to find someone with a more extreme taste who could endure it. After thinking about it, he realized he actually had someone in mind, so Xiao Yu sent a message to Big Water Cunt.

"Hey, Yishui, are you there?"

Despite his realistic appearance, Big Water Cunt name Liu Yishui.

"Hey boss, why did you suddenly contact me?" Big Water Cunt asked, flattered.

"Have you been playing any games lately? I recently found one and I'm planning to get into it. I'm currently missing a tank. How about we team up?"

"Great! What character are you planning to play, boss?"

"This time we're playing the Undead route. I'll play the skeleton, a girl will play the ghost, and you'll play the zombie. How about that?"

"No problem, I'll be right there."

Big Water Cunt readily agreed, five minutes later.

Big Water Cunt: "I've already set up the account, which newbie village should I choose?"

Xiao Yu: "Burying Ground."

Big Water Cunt: "OK, add me as a friend first, then contact me when you're online."

Xiao Yu thought to himself that his old subordinates were indeed more reliable. Those young girls were clearly not suited for playing games. What's wrong with playing zombies? Why were they being so picky?

"Alright, everything's settled. Let's get into the game. Remember to choose the ghost role, don't go and choose something else just for looks."

Chenghong Moli said, "Don't worry, I'm not a newbie player."

After saying that, I entered the game.

Xiao Yu shook his head and entered the game as well.

The game's animation begins, presenting a spectacular scene of war. The screen is divided into two distinct halves: light and darkness, gods and their followers, constantly battling and killing each other.

Narrator: Welcome to the game world of War of the Gods. This is the Lost Continent, a forgotten corner of the universe. The God of Light, Aier, and the God of Darkness, Mula, each lead their followers and servants in a relentless war to become the King of All Gods and the ruler of this world.

The gods of the Lost World joined both sides and participated in the war.

There are also neutral deities who secretly plot to take advantage of the chaos.

Even within the camps of light and darkness, there are those who secretly covet the throne of the God-King. In the end, there can only be one winner in the War of the Gods, but who that winner will be remains unknown.

Every god is expanding their followers and spreading their faith, and nations are constantly at war. Now, you have come into this world.

[System prompt: Please select your faction.]

Although Xiao Yu bought two client applications, he planned to take the monster route, so he naturally chose the dark faction.

Narrator: You have chosen to join the dark side, becoming a member of the evil army of the God of Darkness.

[System prompt: Please select the monster type you wish to create.]

Unlike Sky World, this game doesn't allow you to create hundreds or thousands of different characters.

Players can only choose from monster types, such as Undead, demons, beasts, spirits, humanoids, etc.

Xiao Yu directly chose the Undead.

[System prompt: Please select your birthplace.]

The spawn points for the Undead are naturally places like Great Graveyard and ancient battlefields. There are hundreds of such spawn points throughout the game. Based on his previous plan, Xiao Yu directly chose the Burying Ground.

[System prompt: Please select your previous identity setting.]

The game is incredibly detailed. For example, the appearance of the skeletons is related to their appearance in life, which is very realistic. After all, the appearance of the Undead that humans, elves, dwarves, etc., become after death is definitely different. In comparison, Sky World is much worse in this respect.

In addition, although there are fantasy races such as dwarves and elves in this game, they are basically hidden races that exist only as background elements. You can find many elf and dwarf ruins in the game, but real elves are very rare. The largest continent in the entire game is called the Lost Continent, which is full of humans. Elves, dwarves and other alien races have disappeared for some reason.

There are indeed humanoid creatures like Orcs, Goblin, and Tauren, but these creatures are extremely savage and Bloodlust, existing entirely as monsters, with no semblance of civilization. In other words, in "War of the Gods: Legend of Light," players can only choose the human race, while in "War of the Gods: Dark Age," players have many more races to choose from, even humans, since there are many humans who have joined the dark side, such as bandits and robbers.

However, humanity has also divided into many countries, and each country has its own style and slight differences in race. Xiao Yu finally chose the Rhine Empire as his birthplace, a country with a style similar to the ancient Roman Empire.

[System prompt: Please name your character.]

"Azathoth." Xiao Yu simply copied the old name.

[System message: Sorry, this character name cannot be used due to special circumstances.]

Xiao Yu was taken aback. Generally speaking, there are two situations where a character name cannot be used. The first is that it has been taken by someone else. In this case, the system will prompt that someone has taken the character name.

The second reason is that, for some reason, such as an NPC in the game having that name, the name is prohibited to avoid confusion, or it is a taboo word.

What's going on with Azathoth? Is there an NPC named Azathoth in the game? Or has Azathoth become a taboo word?

It's just a name, so if they don't allow it, they don't have to. After thinking about it, Xiao Yu finally chose a different one.

"The King's Return." The name is a bit chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), but nothing less would be enough to show his awesome status and strength. Xiao Yu's chuunibyou has now penetrated to the bone, and he is completely divorced from the word "low-key." Finally, he has successfully created it this time. I guess most people wouldn't dare to use a name with such a strong chuunibyou vibe.

[System prompt: Please select a profession from your previous life for your character.]

This time it became a multiple-choice question, with dozens of professions to choose from, such as soldier, farmer, blacksmith, and so on.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and chose the soldier.

Xiao Yu guessed that the reason for this choice was that the Undead attribute should be related to the profession in life. It's a pity that there was no profession related to magic, otherwise he would definitely have chosen those. If he had chosen a soldier, he would probably have had an attribute advantage.

It's easy to see from these settings that this War of the Gods is much more elaborate than the Sky World, with even the dead having a background and identity. It's just unknown how much this will affect the characters in the game.

[System prompt: Please set your character's age at death.]

Xiao Yu was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Does this also need to be set?" However, he guessed that it should be related to the character's attributes, just like the job settings.

So they set it to be 30 years old, dying in the prime of life, so the bones would probably be relatively strong.

[System prompt: Character creation complete. Do you want to enter the game?]

Xiao Yu was taken aback. "Hey, I haven't chosen a specific character yet! Didn't you say the Undead had several branches?"

He looked around at the air and asked, but no one answered his question.

However, it seemed that this option was not actually available. Xiao Yu thought it might have been modified after the closed beta, so he directly selected to enter the game.
