Chapter 1 Night in the Castle

　　This seems like an ordinary city.

　　On both sides of the street, high-rise buildings are lined up in rows, and the line network starts from the central area of the city and radiates in all directions. Trams are the only means of transportation in the city and go everywhere.

　　There are very few people taking the tram because the area is strictly graded and few people dare to wander around.

　　The entire city is shrouded in fog all year round.

　　Squares, shopping malls, main streets...huge projection screens are filled in every corner of the city. On them are server-wide rankings similar to games.

　　Those who can be included in the top one thousand will be revered and sought after in the city.

　　There are two types of projection screens in the city, which respectively display the ranking level and the currently ongoing dungeon match. In the dungeon game, the player numbers and game status that entered are densely listed. Most of them are yellow, which represents the normal game state. One of the matches marked in red stands out.

　　"A copy has entered the endgame."

　　"There are players ranked 1,000 in it. No wonder the dungeons of twenty people were killed until only three were left." The speaker raised an eyebrow, "Someone else was dragged into the endgame. The number at the beginning of [46], oh, It’s a newcomer.”

　　"Which newcomer is so unlucky?"

　　The old players watching the excitement looked at each other: "Do you want to bet on how long he can live?"

　　"A low-level gambling game," another person shook his head and refused. "Newcomers usually run away in fear after entering. There are many people who are killed on the spot. What's more, it is the end game. Death is only a matter of time."

　　Zizzi.

　　Strange sounds echoed intermittently in his ears. The moment Wen Shi opened his eyes, everything around him was blurry. After a while, everything within his field of vision became clear again.

　　Directly in front of him was a street lamp, and he was on a dark path. On the path, a slender pole stood tall, with an old black street lamp at the top.

　　The lights were too dazzling, accompanied by strange sounds from time to time.

　　There is water under the street lights, and a large area of sewage has accumulated in the low-lying terrain.

　　The white coat and glasses were reflected in the water.

　　Wen Shi was stunned for a moment, and later realized that he was dressed as a doctor. He was not nearsighted before, but now he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

　　Wen Shi began to recall what happened before he fainted.

　　He was walking on the road without any problems, and there were street lights around him, but then the safety buckle on his body started to heat up for no apparent reason. He couldn't bear it anymore and tried to throw it away, but only the red rope came off, and then the safety buckle seemed to disappear. The skin all over his body felt like it was being burned, and he lost consciousness after that.

　　The sizzling sound continued.

　　He didn't care to study how he was dressed like this and where he was. Wen Shi was worried about getting an electric shock and carefully avoided the sewage. At the same time, his attention was diverted by something more majestic.
