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
Game Of Arcana Chapter 26: Ships [1]
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

Adam looked at him carefully, assessing the man's condition.Aside from his pirate-like attire, interestingly, the man's physique seemed ordinary. His skin wasn't even particularly bronzed, which made Adam doubt their experience as pirates.Soon, Adam felt his thoughts were too narrow. "Perhaps they're also here not by their own choice?""Judging from their appearance, they seem too ordinary, and although they have a seemingly hostile gaze towards me, they don't intimidate like real pirates."After finishing observing the man, Adam immediately nodded, "Yes. I am The Hanged Man."The man fell silent for a moment before politely inviting Adam to the small boat. "I am Bryan Georgia, I will be your first mate.""Bryan? His name sounds modern. As I suspected, are they also players? But all players have their own cards..." Adam nodded understandingly, still showing calmness to assert his authority.Bryan, who had a soft face b

Adam silently watched.After that, he went out and stood on the deck to watch the crew work together."Henry, Ginny, always be prepared for battle at any time. We will encounter many obstacles." He smiled at the two crew members responsible for the weapons.This decision was based on the fact that Adam had a Curse that attracted beasts towards him. In the vast sea, surely there would be a variety of beasts. The chance of encountering B-level beasts would be much higher. Furthermore, if they encountered A or S-level beasts, it would be a nightmare.According to the map in the cabin, this large island was surrounded by many uninhabited smaller islands. And further out, there was only vast ocean. At certain points, some descriptions were added to the map. No ship could pass far from the main island.Considering this, Adam concluded that there was indeed a limit to how far he could sail.Also, along with this, he had already determin
Game Of Arcana Chapter 29: Damage To The Ship
The spear flew swiftly and immediately struck the creature's head.The one-and-a-half-meter-long spear was embedded directly into the giant sea creature's skin without scales and made it dive back into the sea.At that moment, the vibrations on the ship were felt again.[Ship hull damage reaches 50%]Adam gritted his teeth as he prepared a second spear. He didn't care if Jormungandr would extend its head again after receiving the attack, but if this continued, the ship would be destroyed and sink!He had to do something.At that moment, Adam widened his pupils."What if I use the Gallows? Considering its effect as a trap that directly attracts the target's soul... Would it work?" After thinking for almost five seconds.Adam turned towards the Gallows standing in the middle of the deck.In the midst of the shaking, Adam ran towards the Gallows and grabbed it. Lifting it was quite easy for Adam, it was no
Game Of Arcana Chapter 30: Mr. Death
In the daytime, Adam regularly shot arrows at the level C beasts swimming alongside the ship. By attaching a string to the end of the arrow, he made it unlimited ammunition.This way, Adam could collect both Chaos Points and special points for this game wave.[Chaos Points: 40]The amount was quite impressive.[Special Points: 13]On the other hand, it seemed to require more effort to get special points. Not all Beasts would give them!During his spare time, Adam approached the crew to understand them better. For some reason, since Jormungandr's attack, they seemed more willing to communicate. Even Jenna could now smile at him. Of course, she was the only one who openly showed a smile.In his leisure time, Adam began to understand his crew a little better.Bryan had a cold but professional temperament, especially when it came to his expertise, navigation. Rick and Jack had their own stiffness, especially Rick, w
Game Of Arcana Chapter 31: Questions
Adam calmed down and continued to ask, "What does Hunter want from me?""Mr. Death wants to assess whether you are worthy to be his partner or not," the woman suspected to be Rachel Gray answered."... He did offer cooperation before," he immediately remembered the last word Edward said when they parted, "...So she is the subordinate you meant," he scoffed inwardly."Are you Rachel Gray who died?"The woman nodded slowly, "The soul inhabiting this body when alive was indeed Rachel Gray.""So, my memory wasn't wrong..." He muttered to himself."The Death card is closely related to death, resurrecting the dead is not an impossible thing..." Although he thought so, he still felt it was too broken."What will you do if I am not worthy to be your master's partner?" Adam asked again.The woman paused for a few seconds as if assessing Adam. "Then I am ordered to kill you and sink this ship."Adam almost couldn
Game Of Arcana Chapter 32: Island
[Experience Points: 50/200]"Convert fifty chaos points into experience points," he restrained himself from exchanging chaos points for new abilities. His focus was on leveling up The Hanged Man.Because the cards worked differently, Adam was sure that The Hanged Man's way of distinguishing experience points from chaos points would make him a player with a lagging level. Of course, this was just a hypothesis. Besides, Adam also wanted to see what changes The Hanged Man would bring at level three.After archery for almost four hours, Adam vaguely began to see the outline of land still in gray silhouette.He narrowed his eyes to be sure that it was land.At the same time, Bryan approached him. He was back to normal, and politely said, "We will anchor soon.""Good," Adam said.He then continued, "Tell Lucas and Eron to get ready. We'll search for materials to repair the ship." That was under the premise that the island woul
