The sky was dark, and stars began to illuminate, the crescent moon hanging sixty degrees in the sky, and the sun had long set.Gong!Adam suddenly awake by the sound of the bell. The sound reverberated in his ears, a feeling of déjà vu!As he opened his eyes, he immediately choked and coughed. He quickly spat out salty water from his mouth.Cough!!His body was almost numb, but with a little effort, he managed to drag himself out of the waves' impact on the beach."Haha... It's all over..." He said almost despairingly.He was here, on the edge of the beach, and still breathing was a miracle.The last thing he remembered was when his emotions were raging and difficult to control. The effects of the mishap made him more vulnerable and unstable.After nearly five minutes, he adjusted himself.Struggling to stand, he surveyed the island's condition.With stars and the moon providing illumi

Adam sighed and stood up, "Take me to him," he said.He had acquired some wounds, on his forehead, calf, and lower abdomen. The first was caused by a rock thrown by Greg, while the others he got when the ship "The Hanged Man" sank.Navigated by Bryan, Adam descended the stairs to the lower cabin.There, Lucas sat hugging his knees, burying his face in them.As Adam arrived in front of him, he lifted his head and looked at Adam with a strange gaze."Damn! Just seeing your face makes me want to punch you... Too bad, I'm smart enough to know that you're all fake. Heh," he grinned madly.At that, Adam chuckled coldly, "Stay like that, you're perfect bait for the Beast, it could save time and energy when the Beast attacks the ship..."Adam had no way to deal with Lucas's current mental issues. However, he at least wanted to try to convince him that this is the real world.Lucas's dense thoughts about believing that t

Adam stepped out of the cabin, walking on the deck with careful consideration. Bryan didn't dare to follow him. Both he and the other crew members could only watch as he approached the Moon Crawler, which clearly emitted a dangerous aura."The player is the embodiment of the card itself... Although there are exceptions with The Hanged Man card, it doesn't make me immune to the card's characteristics," he had gathered much information throughout the game.At this moment, he could only hope that one of The Hanged Man's Characteristics truly became a part of him, "Equivalent Exchange..."Adam knew after meeting the Ghost Rider that S-level Beasts consumed other beast cores to strengthen themselves. "I don't know what happened to it, but I'm sure it's in a less than optimal condition, most likely injured," Adam concluded from the Moon Crawler's appearance.The characteristic of "The Hanged Man" is sacrifice, equivalent exchange, and imbalance. Adam co

At that moment, one by one, they crouched down and pulled the bowstring with all their might, making the small arrows reach maximum tension.Adam frowned and then realized something important. This was a trap!These hunched figures were luring him to the edge of the cliff, intending to attack and corner him!"Shit!"Adam instinctively took a breath and summoned Gallows, which he could now use again. He lifted it and made it a suitable shield.Arrows were released simultaneously, accompanied by strange and eerie screams from each crawling person. "Winghhhh!!"Adam's ears rang.Lucas beside him didn't have enough protection and willingly threw himself into the abyss.Influenced by the pull of the rope he held, Adam lost his balance and immediately slipped on the rocks, the spikes cutting his calf before finally falling into the steep abyss filled with darkness."...Why did it turn out like this?" He natur

The bottom of the gorge has a vastness that's difficult to describe. Many areas branch off, making it feel expansive. Without a Minimap, they would easily get lost.As Adam walked at the forefront, the rock wall beside him suddenly heated up and gradually melted.Seeing this anomaly, Adam immediately stepped back, followed by Clarice, who did the same.Looking at the Minimap, there were no points indicating it wasn't a B-level Beast or below.Adam pulled the rope binding Lucas and hid behind a sharp rock, turning to a different path.On the melting wall, lava poured, and a lizard the size of a mature horse appeared. Its skin was burned by orange fire, and the surrounding area gradually melted. The creature had a head that bloomed like a corpse flower, spraying hot lava from its mouth.[Earth Penetrator—A]Adam frowned while holding back his voice.The creature didn't notice Adam, Clarice, or Lucas."Alt
