2024-10-29 19:42:56Adam fell silent for a moment. He had formulated several scenarios during the discussion session, even skipping most of the debates at that time. And in the end, he arrived at one plan.
To win the game, understanding the rules well was crucial. In this case, Adam wanted to use the game's rules to lure out the holder of The Fool card on their own."Actually, I've devised this considering James is on my side. And with Thys here, it's even better," Adam smiled."First, we need to complete the mission," he said.[Chaos Points: 6]He managed to kill two level C beasts and two level D beasts....Time passed quickly, and the sun began to rise from the east.Both Adam and Trevor had gathered materials to complete their missions. Thanks to the curse received by Adam because of The Hanged Man card, they were able to encounter beasts continuously.And luck didn't stop there. They didn't encounter any level A or even l

Rashard immediately embraced Adam while saying, "Lockwood really dislikes the idea of taking turns on missions. If it weren't for necessity, I doubt he would do it."The goal of Adam, Rashard, and Trevor was to make Leon take the bait quickly. It was quite simple; they just needed to steer the conversation to the point where Leon would be curious about the cards held by the three of them. It wouldn't be difficult, considering Leon had already allied with Elly from the beginning.However, seeing that Leon seemed a bit closed off due to his traumatic first experience, they had to improvise."Besides, Thys also has a little interesting secret. The Empress card should be held by a woman!" Rashard joked halfheartedly."Shut up. If I could choose, I would also prefer a card that sounds cool like yours, The Devil," Trevor joked. He deliberately used the same phrase as Rashard's response when he and Adam questioned his card.Leon's eyes widened,

[Granting special rights to the holder of The Fool card to guess other players' cards][Note: Missing cards cannot be guessed until the next session][Time: 5 Minutes]Similar to the voting system, the guessing system also treats things the same. The system will track brain activity and enable the guesser to make guesses without arousing suspicion.At the moment, Elly was confident in the information brought by Leon after seeing that Adam truly held The Hanged Man card!Therefore, she didn't doubt any other information. "System!" she said inwardly.[System ready]"I will guess the cards of two players."[Give your guesses!]"Rashard James as The Devil and Trevor Thys as The Empress," she murmured confidently and confidently to herself.After five minutes passed, Elly began to think about her next steps to choose another scapegoat. But a few moments later, she suddenly stomped her foot, contrary to what s

Elly realized that what was happening to her right now—becoming impatient—was the effect of guessing wrong. Therefore, there was nothing she could do to stop it."You've shown enough of your foolishness to me, your carelessness to everyone else, it will all lead to one thing: You'll just be the subject of ridicule," Rashard continued.Actually, whether it was William, Andrew, Darrel, Edward, or others, they didn't quite understand why Rashard was cornering Elly slowly instead of accusing her directly. But even after seeing that, no one stopped him."What are you saying!? I'm not guilty!" Elly panicked, turning to Leon and immediately pointing at him, "Ask him! He knows I'm innocent!" She tried to avoid anything that had happened by pointing at Leon.The gaze turned back to Leon. Leon looked confused and didn't say anything. His expression was full of concern and disappointment.Seeing Leon unwilling to vouch for her, Elly slowly began to

Surprised by this, Adam immediately stepped back a few steps, taking his arrows and small backpack with him."Did you get the same notification? This is what I don't like about the system. Hufff," the man sighed before turning back towards the forest. However, before disappearing into the darkness, he said, "You know, being part of the Underworld faction is quite torturous. So far, I only know a few players from the Underworld faction who have survived until the end.""And this is a warning. Be cautious of players affiliated with the Prayers faction. They can be quite challenging for the Underworld faction."His silhouette slowly merged into the darkness and disappeared, leaving a silence that made Adam repeat his words in his head just to remember them.After a while, he immediately asked the system."System!"[System ready]"Who was that?"The answer came unexpectedly. It was a vague sentence as if a sensor ha

"Hey, what are you doing?" Adam stood at the gate, leaning against it. He just wanted to start a conversation with small talk.John glanced at him for a moment before returning to his activity.Feeling annoyed at being ignored, Adam restrained himself and tried to remain calm. Then he asked seriously, "Why are you so suspicious of me?"John looked back at him again, and with a clear sigh showing his effort, he said, "Have you ever killed someone?"Adam furrowed his brow. "Is he still thinking I killed Rachel Gray!?" He muttered to himself.Adam was about to answer when John continued, "I can see it."Adam asked, "See what?""A number," John said.He continued to dig into the dark soil while talking, "I have a Skill that allows me to see whether someone has killed or not. It projects all that into numbers depending on the number of people killed by the person I'm looking at when activating this skill."T

Adam tried to open his palm as a distorted black smoke formed into a ball above it. It looked evil and terrifying, but for Adam, it brought warmth.He quickly swung his hand holding the distorted black ball upward and immediately created a cross-shaped pole where at its highest point there was a rope in the form of a circular knot.The wood was dark brown with some signs of decay visible on it. Additionally, an unpleasant aura emanated from the object, strangely making Adam feel more comfortable with his body and movements felt very smooth.Adam immediately remembered the same scene from his dream. In his dream, Leon also died hanging himself on the same object Adam created now![Creating Gallows]"That's really similar!" He exclaimed in surprise.He didn't expect a dream to display something he hadn't even encountered before. And here he was![Doubling ability effects][Stealth Step doubled][Poison Touch double

At the castle, some players were still going about their activities.Groups began to form, consisting of three to five players. Of course, these groups were merely for chatting.True to his purpose, Adam quickly found his place and started designing his arrows.He didn't consider other alternatives like axes, swords, or spears, given his expertise in precision aiming. It was a skill he couldn't afford to waste!Night fell quickly.Campfires began to flicker in various chatting groups.Adam took his place by the edge, next to the non-functional fountain.Surprisingly, he also had his own group consisting of five people!William Sambus, Trevor Thys, Rashard James, John Gates, and himself gathered around a single campfire.John Gates no longer showed explicit hatred towards him, but there was still an anticipation that seemed to erect a wall between them."So, anyone want to guess the next game?" Rashard, who was always smiling, asked, trying to lighten the mood.Trevor, who was skewerin

Adam absorbed the information while thinking hard. "The usefulness of points isn't explained well... Should I ask the System for clarification?""Besides, to earn points, we have to destroy other players' ships or free pirates' ships... Free pirates..." Adam muttered the phrase.It confirmed that besides the players, there would be other free pirates, "Are those humans other than us?"He then recalled some information from The Hanged Man feature."Order points can be obtained by killing humans, and the amount will depend on whether the human is a cardholder or not." Additionally, he remembered the mysterious man whom he thought was an S-rank Beast before.On the other hand, there were ship crews that would assist the players. Adam reluctantly concluded one thing based on this information, "There are other humans on this island!""Is that what the other players meant by the mysterious man?" Adam thought calmly and with a hint of e

Chapter 56: The Hierophant
As the sun set once again, Adam sat on the main deck of "The Hanged Man" ship, examining the gold-covered book in his hands. He had flipped through the book repeatedly, finding only blank pages. He had also experimented by trying to tear the book, but it returned to its original condition.Clarice, on the other hand, was busy with her crew, whatever they were doing on "The Emperor" ship.Adam, wearing a half-height hat, gazed out at the distant sea shrouded in thick darkness."Considering the time I needed to get to this island... I doubt Collin White will arrive in less than a week. That would allow me to use this book freely..."Moreover, he had many wild ideas in his head. Previously, when he used the skill "Equivalent Exchange," he sacrificed Mini Sun, an artifact belonging to The Sun, which he had taken over at the time, as an exchange material. He wondered if he could do the same with the Book of Repetition to eliminate the reverse effect on

"Dock now!" Adam ordered firmly.Topper nodded, immediately steering The Hanged Man towards the shore where the molten rocks formed a pattern indicating the entrance.Both ships, The Hanged Man and The Emperor, began docking near the shore. Clarice led her group to prepare to disembark, while Adam directed his crew to guard the ship."Don't let anyone approach our ship," Adam commanded Topper and several other crew members. "We don't know what we will encounter in there."Clarice jumped down from the ship and landed on the rocks that had started to cool after melting. She looked towards the now more visible entrance."Derrick, Clint, come with me," she ordered her crew. Both immediately disembarked and stood by her side.Adam also disembarked, followed by Bryan, while the others stayed behind to guard the ship from any potential attacks, as this time the ship was not hidden.Clarice nodded and approached the entrance, tr

The sun slowly moved, tilting 60 degrees to the west.Topper, who was standing guard on a sharp rock, noticed movement from the forest, then saw his Captain walking with someone else. At first, he thought it was Lucas, but quickly discarded that thought upon seeing that the person with his Captain was a woman. He frowned.Signaling to the others, they quickly gathered to greet them."Prepare the ship," Adam said to Topper and the others.Meanwhile, Bryan approached and asked in a low tone, "What happened to Lucas?"Adam shook his head, "I don't know, just hope he's okay.""Are we going to leave him?" Bryan asked again.Adam glanced towards the sea, then towards the island. "We’re going to circumnavigate the island and find The Emperor's ship," he said casually.Bryan quickly shifted his gaze to Clarice, nodding politely before saying, "Alright."Clarice looked somewhat surprised to see The Hanged Man's

Chapter 53: Book of Repetition
"Explain what actually happened..."[Ancient Artifact of The Hierophant—Book of Repetition, has repeated the story. The coverage area of this ancient artifact encompasses the entire island, effectively returning the island to its original state after the artifact was integrated into it.]"Repetition..." Adam muttered softly."So, why are all my skills acting strange?"[Your condition has been reset to how it was before you entered the island. However, since you are not part of the story, a side effect has occurred because you became involved in a process you were not supposed to be involved in. All your skills will experience Reverse Effects.]Adam's face twitched."Gallows, which should be very light, has become impossible to lift... The Shadow Hand that I should be able to control now doesn't obey my commands... And instead of gaining order points after killing humans, I'm being fined..." He muttered to himself while looking at

Adam landed smoothly and simultaneously swung Gallows like a giant axe, sending several hunched humans flying.Meanwhile, Clarice, who jumped nearly twenty meters high, also landed smoothly. Her pupils suddenly turned gold, "Authority Aura"!Some of the hunched humans received its impact.Not stopping there, more hunched humans began to appear, like a pack of wolves growling."Grrr!!!"Adam twirled Gallows in his hands, adjusting to the situation."We've made it out, now the problem is how do we deal with these hunched humans? Should we kill them?" Adam found himself puzzled.Clarice, on the other hand, didn't hesitate to fight the hunched humans.At that moment, Adam remembered something, "I left Lucas!"He turned back into the circular hole and his gaze stopped at the one-foot table that previously held the book, also an Artifact. The book was gone!Briefly, he saw movement in the entrance ar

On the other side, Clarice had completed all her preparations, with the red flag bearing the golden crown emblem standing in the middle of the area. She raised her sword into the air, and a fireball the size of a palm flew towards her, merging with the sword, turning it into a flaming sword. Adam furrowed his brow, once again comparing his cards to Clarice's. "How many skills does she have!?" Adam quickly counted his own skills and found that he only had six, and some of them weren't very useful at the moment. With the flaming sword in hand, Clarice sliced through the air, causing the mist to dissipate not too far away. Vaguely, it revealed a figure on the other side. A creature twice the size of a normal gorilla, with elongated arms covered in brown fur. Its eyes looked like a musical note symbol. With sharp teeth and flowing saliva.

Adam followed from behind, his Gallows long turned to ashes. The red flame moved slowly, illuminating the square-shaped room. Clarice prioritized a path close to the wall, as that's where she found the right path during her first attempt to find a way out. The problem was, she wasn't sure where exactly. Even the markers on the minimap stopped before this room. Adam followed Clarice from behind along with Lucas, still bound by the rope. After walking for almost five minutes, Clarice suddenly stopped. "Wait," she said, raising her index finger while focusing her hearing. Adam wanted to ask "What's wrong?" but immediately refrained from doing so, he followed Clarice and focused on listening. Vaguely, they heard the sound of paper rubbing against each other. Rubbing! "What's that?" Adam thought about the possible causes o

Chapter 49: Entrance
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

Clarice sighed, "Why don't you try following the path indicated by the system?" As if challenging Adam to do it.Adam understood her meaning, "Is there any obstacle that makes it impossible to get out? Something like traps? Puzzles? Or beasts?" His mind tried to conclude."What's the problem?" Adam wanted detailed information.Clarice didn't plan to hide the facts and willingly gave an overview, "At the end of the path, there's a giant door, I can open it, though it requires great strength. And that's when the creature comes and attacks... It's a miracle I survived.""A creature?"Clarice reaffirmed, "It's an A-level Beast guarding this gorge."Adam's memory spun, recalling information in his mind. His imagination worked, and the appearance of the Gigantic Boar that devoured humans appeared in his head, then changed to the sea creature with large, sharp fins that almost sank his ship. It was clear that an A-level Beast was still
