Victor the Faithless

What he really wanted was the equipment that added spell slots. This guy had so many spell slots, so he definitely didn't rely on his own strength. He must have some top-tier magic artifact with him, maybe even a divine artifact (although it seems unlikely).

Even if you can't use it yourself, you can still trade it after it's opened.

I've only gotten one Soul Fire Fragment so far. Can Priest even use Soul Fire? It doesn't seem very reliable. Even if it's related to skills, it's a divine spell. I don't have a god to worship, so how could I possibly learn it?

Xiao Yu found this rather strange. This Priest wasn't wearing any holy symbols, making it impossible to tell which god he was Priest of. This was quite unusual.

However, some drops are better than none. As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed. You can't go through a dungeon and get nothing.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu said, "Um, does anyone need this Soul Fire? I'll roll for it first."

After saying that, use the ROLL command to get 14 points.

Ha, how pitiful.

Fortunately, although a few others wanted to roll, they could only watch helplessly since they had already requested items. After all, Xiao Yu, as the team leader, hadn't taken a single item from beginning to end, and it made no sense for such a righteous team leader to try and take things from him.

So nobody spoke at all.

Xiao Yu shrugged. "If nobody wants it, I'll take it." Without further ado, he stretched out his hand, and the Soul Fire Fragment entered his body.

His skill bar suddenly gained a new skill: [Soul Fire Fragment (Not Activated)].

This is somewhat similar to Memory Fragments; both require activation to access their specific content.

He wasn't in a hurry to activate it, planning to wait until after leaving the instance. Unfortunately, the church exuded a sacred aura, making it impossible to enter; otherwise, he could have gone in and looted it.

The group searched around Poli Village again, but found no more hidden bosses or treasures. Disappointed, they returned to the village entrance and went to the Undead Isaac to collect their dungeon rewards.

Isaac's reward was extra experience points. In the previous battles, everyone had already gained a lot of experience points, and after receiving the experience points as a reward for clearing the dungeon, they all leveled up immediately.

With a flash of golden light, Xiao Yu found himself having leveled up to level three.

I checked my own attributes.

Overall, this dungeon run yielded some rewards, but nothing particularly significant. Now, the question is, what exactly is this Soul Fire Fragment?

The group left the instance and then disbanded, as it was already late at night and some members were getting ready to log off, plus everyone was quite tired after completing the instance.

Even the Big Water Cunt logged off, told Xiao Yu, and then exited the game.

Only Chenghong Moli and Xiao Yu remained, because the two of them were together.

"So, what did you get from that Soul Fire Fragment?" Xiao Yu asked Chenghong Moli curiously.

"Just a boring memory," Chenghong Moli shook her head and said. "I'm going to level up by myself now. Contact me if you need anything."

Without waiting for Xiao Yu's reply, she walked away. Xiao Yu didn't mind. He could sense that the memory Chenghong Moli had obtained was definitely not simple, and it seemed to have touched her. But everyone has a few secrets.

With these thoughts in mind, he chose to activate the fragment of the Soul Fire in his hand.

The moment he chose to activate it, Xiao Yu found himself in a daze, and the scenery around him completely changed. It was as if he was falling into an Abyss, as if he had fallen into a dream.

This feeling is completely different from when Memory Fragments are activated, because Memory Fragments are part of his past memories. After activation, it's like something suddenly pops into his head, without much of a reaction.

However, because this fragment of the Soul Fire is someone else's memory, it must go through an absorption process. During this absorption process, he will relive this memory from the perspective of the Soul Fire's owner.

When the feeling of falling subsided, he found himself standing in ruins, surrounded by the burning remains of houses. Looking down, Xiao Yu noticed that he was wearing very tattered clothes, looking like a down-and-out vagrant.

There were many corpses on the ground around them, and they seemed to be from the same village as the owner of this memory.

He couldn't control his body; instead, he watched this memory unfold like a bystander.

The owner of this memory is naturally the Priest, but he is not Priest; he is just an ordinary person named Victor.

He could sense the anger in Victor's heart, seemingly because when the Orcs bandits destroyed and slaughtered their village, the gods worshipped in their village did not react in the slightest, and Victor's heart was filled with hatred for the gods.

Then Xiao Yu noticed that Victor was walking, and the scenery around him kept changing, sometimes it was daytime, sometimes nighttime, sometimes it was a country road, sometimes it was a wilderness, and sometimes it was a city.

He could sense Victor's exhaustion and pain.

Every now and then, Victor would appear before my eyes begging from the people, but I would also often hear the villagers cursing him.

From these conversations, he discovered that this Victor had another identity— Faithless.

Victor doesn't believe in any god, not because he hasn't found his own faith, but because he doesn't believe in gods at all and is someone who resists gods.

Because they lack reverence for the gods and are even filled with doubt and contempt, the Faithless cannot become followers of the gods. For this reason, they are despised by the world in the Lost Continent, a realm ruled by the gods.

However, Xiao Yu became curious at this moment. Since Victor was a Faithless, how did he eventually become a Priest?

Driven by this curiosity, he continued to observe Victor's experiences.

The scenes kept changing, and this memory seemed to be made up of countless fragments. On this day, Victor arrived in the wilderness, exhausted and hungry. In the previous village, he was besieged by a group of followers of the God of Order, who stole everything from him, leaving him only with a wooden staff. Moreover, he was covered in wounds and was now lying in a pile of weeds, looking as if he was about to die at any moment.

Of course, this guy definitely didn't die, otherwise there wouldn't have been the Priest Victor later on.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from afar.

"Victor, come here, Victor, come to us."
