Chapter 1: The Dark Crow of Destiny

It was so hot in July in Kyoto that pedestrians on the streets were complaining why Hou Yi didn't shoot the tenth sun as well.

In the rental house, Yang Qizhou was lying comfortably on the sofa with his legs hanging down, playing games while playing music. He had just fired his boss and was about to lose his temper.

Suddenly the phone screen flashed and the download interface entered.

[The world of mystery] is loading.

Loading completed.

Will the brave explorer enter this unknown world full of mystery and treachery?

whether.

"My phone is infected? What kind of junk software is this?" Yang Qizhou was about to uninstall it.

This software cannot be uninstalled.

???

He was just acting like a rogue. Yang Qizhou tried a few more methods, but they all failed. He just clicked Confirm to see what this was all about.

The background interface is a bizarre, twisted and indescribable pattern. There is no huge CG opening, only rows of text appear in front of you.

"You are a bold explorer."

"You are exploring an ancient ruins. It is said that the god who controls destiny was worshiped here. You found a statue of the god in the ruins. You think this statue will be very valuable. You want to take it away despite the obstruction of your companions. You are blinded.

Lost consciousness."

"You wake up in the wilderness with a strange realization coming to your mind."

"You know that you have left your original world and come to this land called the old days, where evil gods are around, mystery is rampant, weirdness arises, terror is rampant, unknown and mysterious coexist, distortion and evil coexist."

"You were eroded by the breath of the past, and in a trance you saw countless dead souls wailing in the gray river, the dirt and uncleanness flowing on the earth, and the indescribable shadows behind the endless curtain in the sky."

"The power of destiny on the statue is with you. It has noticed your plight and is sending blessings."

"Blessing to generate..."

"You can choose any one of the following blessings."

"Bloodline of the Titans: Your body is filled with the bloodline of the Titans. They are the ancient rulers who hold the power of decay. The effect of the gift: you will awaken the weak power of decay and have a high probability of being accepted by the Titans.

"

"The Raven of Destiny: The Raven of Desecration of Destiny. In the face of fate, no matter gods or ancient rulers, once you make a choice, you cannot regret it, but you can. The effect of the gift: you can make the last choice again. The original choice

Destiny is still preserved. You can only use the gift of 'Dark Crow' for each choice once, and the daily usage limit is: 5."

"Affiliates of the Ancient Gods: Your characteristics will be favored by the Ancient Gods, which will make it easier for you to get the blessings of the gods. You can go further in this old land full of weirdness and horror. The effect of the gift: you will be more likely to get the blessings of the gods.

The favor of the ancient gods."

"Special reminder that each blessing is unique and will not be regenerated until the original owner dies. Explorers should choose carefully."

This is a text adventure game.

Yang Qizhou could read between the lines the weirdness and terror of the old land and the vastness of the background of the game [World of Secrets], but he felt disgusted in his heart. What kind of era is it now? There is still such a renaissance. I wonder if even many well-known game companies are doing this.

3a masterpieces are beginning to be unpopular.

I have played all the time,

Just be a little more serious.

Yang Qizhou carefully analyzed, "This should be the step of creating a character. The blessing of fate is the initial talent, which determines the development of the character and the direction of the plot."

"The bloodline of the Titans is a good choice. Not only can it be accepted by the Titans, but it can also gain the power of 'decay'. The benefits are real."

"The risk of being blessed by destiny as an Ancient God Affiliate is quite high. First of all, I don't know what level the 'Ancient God' is in the world of the game. If it's very strong, that's fine, but if it's a rookie and a weakling, it will be difficult in subsequent games.

It certainly won’t be a pleasant experience.”

"This Lucky Dark Crow is a bit interesting..."

The blessing from fate actually contained the power of blaspheming fate. Yang Qizhou guessed that if there were no bugs in the text, this blessing must be extraordinary.

"There are five opportunities to make new choices every day. Isn't this just a rollback? The only difference is... other people's rollbacks clear their data, but I can still keep the benefits I gained from the plot."

"So when there is a fork in the road in the plot, other players can only choose one line, but I am different."

"I can choose them all."

Yang Qizhou's attitude towards this game was casual, and he had no psychological burden when making a choice. He felt that the "Dirty Luck Crow" was interesting, so he chose it.

There are still no magnificent CG scenes, just pale text sliding.

"The blessing of fate has been poured into your body. You are arrogant and think that with the Dark Crow of Misfortune, you can conquer this old land full of weirdness and terror. You completely forgot about the terrifying hallucination you just saw."

"You see the gray fog in front of you, and there are dimly lit candles, and you judge that it is a village. But without any awe, you look around again and find a statue in the woods on the left."

"You decided to ignore the statue and choose to go to the village behind the gray-white fog."

"We still need to go to the statue first and have a look."

"Conceited explorer, please make your choice."

As a keyboard king who knows a little bit about everything, Yang Qizhou has a relatively good understanding of the Ke family background. He knows that if you want to save your life in such a world view, it is best not to have too much curiosity, stay away from buildings that look problematic at first sight, and avoid interacting with others.

Weird people have connections.

It is obviously logically preferable to go to the village first to contact the NPC and trigger the subsequent plot.

"You decided to go to the gray-white foggy village, and you looked at the sun in the sky without knowing whether to live or die."

"You think the sun is so strange. It is completely different from the sun in the original world. It is twisted, purple-black, indescribable, and indescribable. You are completely attracted to it."

"You turned into a pool of blood."

"you are dead."

???

Yang Qizhou was stupid. He was killed by monsters and hacked to death. Even if he tripped and fell to death on the way, he could accept it, but he died after looking at the sun. What the hell is this plot.

besides,

Can your narrator speak human language? What does the disdain and disdain between the lines mean?

"Trash game, Zhuo."

The text continues to scroll,

"Your soul has left your body,"

"You see a turbulent gray-black river. There are countless undead sleeping in the lower part of the river. That is the river of death, where all the dead belong."

"Your soul is sinking, your consciousness is falling into chaos, and mysterious murmurs suddenly ring in your ears."

"You know that the power of fate has not disappeared with the end of the blessing. It is still looking after you. Your death ending is being rewritten. You can return to the living world, but the light of blessing is limited. Every time the death ending is rewritten

, will dim by a third, and will only reignite after twelve o'clock in the morning."

"You have to rely on the power of fate to rewrite the ending of death and continue to live on."

"Still prepare to be like a coward, letting your soul sink into the river of death, and use death to escape from the old land full of weirdness and weirdness."

This means that there are three resurrection opportunities every day, which are refreshed at 12 o'clock in the morning. If this number is exceeded, the character will truly die.

Yang Qizhou quickly interpreted the game information and prepared to choose resurrection.

"'The Lucky Crow' came into play at this time."

"With good luck as an explorer from another world, you now have one more choice. You can rely on the ability of the 'Luckless Crow' to retain your destiny this time and return to the last time you made a choice."

"So are you going back?"

Isn’t this nonsense? Of course I have to go back. Yang Qizhou chose to use the effect of ‘Luckless Dark Crow’.

"You have returned to the last time you made a choice, whether to go to the village shrouded in gray-white mist first, or to look at the strange statue in the woods on the left."

"I hope you don't make a stupid decision this time."

This time Yang Qizhou chose to go to the woods on the left to check out the strange statue.

"You have the fate of the last choice you made. You know that looking at the sun will kill you, so you are determined not to look at the sky."

"You have arrived near a strange statue."

"you……"

Yang Qizhou was shocked. Good guy, look at the literal meaning of this. No matter whether he chooses to go to the village first or to check out the strange statue first, he has to look up at the sun. It is really like the old man who has eaten arsenic and is dead.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, "bang bang bang", the hammering was quite loud.

"Who?"

"Yes, it's me, Brother Qizhou, hurry up and open the door. I bought a lot of snacks and I came here to share some with you."

"Xiao Douding is so loyal. Brother Qizhou didn't hurt you in vain before. Just wait, it's coming."

Yang Qizhou had just put down his cell phone and was about to open the door when he was suddenly startled, his eyes filled with horror... because on the back of his right hand, a tattoo of a jet-black crow appeared.
