Darkness engulfed Lincoln in an instant, the slimy, wriggly motion accompanied by the foul stench of rotten fish reminding Lincoln exactly where he was.Inside the oesophagus of the colossal crocodile.He was meters away from the crocodile’s liver. He struggled hard, using his limbs and trying to stop himself from falling further down the beast’s throat. He was not keen on having a liver acid bath while the crocodile digested him into nothing.The fact that the crocodile could swallow gold like it was water only proved how strong its liver acid was. If Lincoln’s flesh came into contact with it, there would be nothing left of him.However, the slimy wall of the esophagus and the wriggly motion of the crocodile sent Lincoln further down the throat of the beast.Lincoln pulled out his dagger and stabbed it hard into the wall of the esophagus.He stabbed it with all his strength, but the dagger did not even enter one third of the flesh of the crocodile. It was like stabbing an extremely te

Lincoln had made his decision based on his skills’ optimum attribute growth and attacking power.[Knights of Saint Aurora Tempering Art] was at the top of the list, followed by [Hand-to-hand Combat] and [Sharp Weapon (Dagger)], [Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm)], [Evading],[Undercover], [Tracking], and finally the [Returning Kick], which was restricted by the level of the [Knights of Saint Aurora Tempering Art].[Knights of Saint Aurora Tempering Art] was a core skill to Lincoln, so when there was room for an upgrade, he would definitely take it.Both [Hand-to-hand Combat] and [Sharp Weapon (Dagger)]’s related attributes were Strength, Agility, and Constitution. The attributes overlapped, so in order to upgrade either skill, Lincoln would have to depend on the kind of weapon he would be able to acquire, either a dagger or a gauntlet.Lincoln preferred [Sharp Weapon(Dagger)], because it was cheaper by 1,000 Points than [Hand-to-hand Combat].According to his calculations, even if he cho

Lincoln frowned as he looked at his stats. Although his attributes had all increased, according to his calculations, his Intuition should have reached C- Rank.However, when Lincoln had leveled up the [Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm)] skill to Pro, the skill’s related attributes had all been capped and unable to level up any further, ruining Lincoln’s original plan for his Intuition."As soon as the attributes reach E+ Rank, the restrictions will be similar to the basic skills going from Master to Pro.""Using that as a base for further speculation, once my attributes reach E+ Rank and surpass ordinary men’s limitations, it will be hard to level up attributes by leveling up the skill itself. It might take two or three levels just to level up the attributes once, if at all!" Lincoln speculated.He kind of understood why a Legendary Skill Book’s appearance could spark a full-scale war.It wasn’t just because of the powerful skill. It was also because of the related attributes and charact

Lincoln PMed Evilgenius and waited for his reply. It was a little different this time. It took Evilgenius a whole minute before he wrote back....Evilgenius : Accidents might happen!2567: Accidents?Evilgenius : Yes, all sorts of accidents!Evilgenius : After the beta test, there were players who ditched their system and didn’t log in again for over three months.Evilgenius : Then... accidents started to happen.Evilgenius : Two of my friends, who were also beta players like me, decided to leave this deadly system. Three months later, one of them fell down the stairs and broke his neck, and the other one got electrocuted while taking bath.Evilgenius : Every player who stopped playing the system has died in an accident. There were no exceptions.Evilgenius : It was like Death came and took their lives....It took Evilgenius almost two minutes to type all these words. It seemed like he did not wish to remember the tragic death of his friends.Lincoln had been too busy working to

The salty sea breeze blew across the sea, the waves crashing one after the other. The ferry was carrying food, water and medicine as it cruised smoothly towards the island.Captain Ralph looked a little distracted as he stood in the cockpit of the ship, letting the first mate take over the wheel.He kept looking at the room outside the cockpit from time to time. It had originally been the captain’s cabin, but he had surrendered it over to those men voluntarily. He knew exactly why those people were on the ferry.Captain Ralph could not help but shiver every time he thought about it. Those people were on their way to the island to solve the mysteries.As a man making a living working at sea, Captain Ralph had witnessed countless incidents that could not be explained by science. As a result, he was afraid of certain things.One of those things were people who dealt with mysteries...."A ferry? Oh, I’ve missed this kind of transportation!" said a hunky, bare-chested man sucking on a cig
