“It’s said that… people vanished from a few more towns in the Orc Kingdom lately…?”

Not only the orcs players in the shop, but Mercenary Crete who had just entered the shop had heard about the news.

“It seems like the border area of our homeland isn’t peaceful lately…” Mr. Dirk was also talking about it with his audience.

“Have they found out what had happened?”

“It seems like not yet.”

…

In the endless void, a huge shadow seemed to be spreading in silence.

Hovering in the dark void, it emitted death and horror that could swallow everything.

As if summoned by something, it got closer and closer to the huge continent.

Sitting in the high and dark void, its huge eye looked down and monitored everything that was happening in the world.

…

“Ms. Dicas, do you think there really are gods in the world?”

“What are you talking about? Those miracles and catastrophes were not fake, and the ruins of those catastrophes can still be seen in some nations.”

“You’re right.”

On the screen, Mr. Fang’s livestream teaching session for beginners was approaching the end.

“Now, you’re facing two bosses. But still, you must attack and kill these mobs with well-organized moves. You need to kill the priest first before handling the paladin,” Mr. Fang said.

High Inquisitor Sally Whitemane was a powerful priestess and accompanied Commander Mograine as his lover. She had a more powerful resurrection spell than the one that players had.

The players were not strangers to resurrection since they had seen it in Diablo 2. The lords of Hell in Diablo had been killed many times, but their souls still remained in the world.

Likewise, the resurrection spells of World of Warcraft could pull back the players’ souls, repair their bodies, and bring them back to life.

It was well known that the conditions required for the resurrection spell that the players had learned were very strict. Even though the paladins and priests in the game were extremely devoted and faithful by default, they could only cast the spell in an extremely quiet environment without any disturbance.

If the players were attacked during the casting process, the spell would be interrupted.

However, Whitemane only needed to put the players to sleep for a little while and then quickly cast the resurrection spell.

“We must kill this priestess first,” Mr. Fang said, “Otherwise, you’ll face a paladin who can’t be killed.”

Of course, it wasn’t easy to kill the priestess who stood behind and was protected by a powerful and fierce paladin.

If the enemies had a mage with them, they could form a team of warrior, mage, and priestess to battle the players since paladins could count as half a warrior.

Their current partnership of warrior and priestess was still a combination very hard to defeat.

“So, we need a nimble class which can bypass the paladin. Meanwhile, our tank must hold off the enemies on the frontline.”

In fact, this was more like a PVP instead of PVE.

It was how it felt like when five low-level, poorly-equipped players fought with two high-level, well-equipped players with special abilities.

It must be noted that in the system version of World of Warcraft, Mograine would flee with Whitemane’s corpse after they were defeated. Only when someone took back the fallen Ashbringer from Mograine’s father, Old Mograine, who had been resurrected as one of the powerful Four Horsemen under the Lich King, could Mograine be finally killed.

Of course, that wouldn’t happen for a long time.

With the boss fleeing, the players looted in a different way compared to the original version. After Fang Qi and his party defeated their enemies, a loot chest appeared in the center of the cathedral. [Loot gathered after searching the cathedral.]

“Aegis of the Scarlet Commander?”

“The attributes are so good…”

“With such a shield, the tank will be unrivaled!”

The equipment triggered waves of exclamations. Of course, Mr. Fang backed out of that conversation since his purpose was teaching the new players some basic knowledge and terms in the game.

…

Female Knight Helen of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion came to the shop very late today; she didn’t play the game through the night yesterday, but her face looked haggard.

Lately, she always dreamed of some strange and weird things, which gave her an inexplicable feeling.

Fear could erode and eat away one’s will like a horrifying plague.

At this moment, an invisible plague seemed to be spreading in the crowds silently.

– In the distant Silver Moon Forest of the Elf Clan –

Several elders of the Elf Clan gathered on the bank of the mirror-like lake.

“Do you sense… the force of horror in the darkness…?” The silver-haired and silver-bearded old elf murmured, “It’s getting stronger each day. Fear… can erode people’s will, and darkness will swallow their remaining consciousness… Eventually, they will become the puppets of fear…”

“We must find the followers of those shadows as soon as possible,” another elder said, “We can’t let it continue! Otherwise, we’ll completely lose all power to resist them when they arrive!”

…

“Ahh-!” In the new shop, a shrill scream sounded. Helen seemed to have bumped into someone and then jumped away like a startled rabbit.

“What’s wrong with you? You scared me…” Mr. Fang looked at her disapprovingly.

“No… nothing.” Her voice was as quiet as the buzzing of a mosquito’s wings. “I’ll go and get online.”

“Am I so scary…” He did nothing but send this girl flying with a sneeze before.

At this moment, Fang Qi seemed to feel a tiny but extremely creepy force invading his brain.

Mr. Fang shivered, but this force seemed to have done no harm to him and soon disappeared.

At this moment, Fang Qi suddenly received a new prompt.

[With the number of players in the new shop reaching 5,000, a special movie will be activated in the new shop.]

[You have obtained the right to release the special movie, The Avengers, in the new shop, and you can also choose to release it in the old shops at the same time.]

[New Task: A New Round of Mental Strength Cultivation

Task Objective: As a shop owner, you must have a tougher mind than the customers. Please enter the game cultivation room for special training until the task is finished.

Task Reward: Outlast: Virtual Reality Remake

Task Description: After training in this game, our mental fortitude will be even more powerful]

Although the system had once released Silent Hill which could also toughen one’s mental strength, the bigger feature of that game was to remove inner demons and patch up the holes in people’s minds.

Obviously, this game was a bit different.

“Outlast…?” Mr. Fang glanced at the System Interface, and his expression turned dark. “Your aim is not to strengthen my mind but to shatter it, right?”

Words appeared on the System Interface, [A product of the System.]
