Chapter 1 The Hell Joke(1/2)

Lin Xiuge looked at his body, feeling a little confused, a little sad, and at the same time feeling a little funny.

In less than three minutes after his death, his mental journey had gone through countless circles.

He watched his former colleagues gather around his body, constantly trying various first aid methods. However, only Lin Xiuge knew clearly that no matter how hard they tried, they could not change the sad fact before him.

He is already dead.

The soul has left the body.

Lin Xiuge turned his head sadly and looked at the wall next to him, where there was a poster.

It was a fantasy poster with a unique style and excellent craftsmanship - above the somewhat dilapidated spire buildings, a huge black sun hung high, and at the bottom of the poster, there was a line of large characters written.

"There is only one day left before the launch of "The Age of Black Sun"!"

Looking at the familiar poster in front of him, Lin Xiuge began to wonder if it was because he had seen too many hell jokes that he ended up dying like a hell joke.

As the main person in charge of the plot and world view of the game "Age of Black Sun", he died suddenly in the early morning of the day when the game project was launched. Death came so quickly that he did not even have a deep understanding of the concept of death.

He returned to his work station melancholy, looking at the familiar things around him, watching the familiar body that belonged to him being taken to the elevator by the medical staff and colleagues who arrived...

Lin Xiuge instinctively wanted to catch up, but a sense of fatigue and sleepiness gripped him, making it impossible for him to stand up from the office chair underneath him.

"This is the end?"

He muttered to himself in helplessness, and then closed his eyes in response to the sleepiness.

The sleep at the soul level did not last long, because there seemed to be a sound coming from somewhere. The sound came from far to near, from weak to loud, and finally completely shattered Lin Xiuge's hard-won sleep.

He opened his eyes angrily, wanting to see who the bastard was who had the heart to ruin a dead ghost's sleep quality.

There was still a familiar office scene in front of him. He was still sitting at his most familiar workstation. However, the studio that should have been extremely bright has now become extremely dark and depressing. Everything around him seems to be shrouded in heavy darkness.

Make it impossible for people to spy.

He couldn't see anyone.

So Lin Xiuge turned to look out the window. What surprised him was that the world outside the window was also pitch black. The darkness was so uniform, as if someone had covered all the windows with black curtains.

Same thing.

While he was wondering, the sound that woke him up came again. Lin Xiuge stood up hesitantly and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a faint light in the darkness far away.

It was flickering slightly, and it sounded like it was the sound coming from a certain fighting game. He could even identify the sound effects when one of the characters released skills and combos.

"What are you doing..."

Lin Xiuge squinted his eyes and glanced twice in the direction of the light, but then his eyes were attracted by the computer screen beside him.

For some reason, there were some strange and unfamiliar words floating on the computer screen. They looked like ink suspended in the air, floating up and down in front of the screen. When Lin Xiuge focused his attention on

When they were on it, their corresponding meanings appeared in Lin Xiuge's mind very naturally.

"Two fangs of a mountain troll."

The moment he understood this line of text, Lin Xiuge froze on the spot.

After coming back to his senses, he immediately turned his gaze to the side, whereupon he saw more black words floating on those computer screens, office lockers, and even the tablets on the desktop.

"Five hundred universal gold coins."

"Three vials of Swamp Witch's Back Moss."

"The eyeball of any mage's apprentice."

"The left ear of an adult earth dragon."

"A set of orthodox female noble accessories from the Kingdom of Walter."

All kinds of strange words and sentences filled Lin Xiuge's mind.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch these floating words and the things behind them, but his palm seemed to have touched a transparent wall and was unable to do so.

"Universal gold coins, earth dragons, swamp witches, Walter Kingdom...these are all terms in our own game worldview."

Lin Xiuge carefully came to the dark corridor while thinking. As a plot planner who has rich experience and has been poisoned by all kinds of messy culture, he has some vague ideas about what is happening in front of him.

Guesses and thoughts, but he didn't dare to be sure, so he could only explore towards the only place that gave out light and sound.

This corridor is not long. Close to the wall, there are snack racks and drink cabinets provided to the project team. There are also several vending machines next to them. However, now, these things also have that weird feeling floating on them.

The text made it impossible for Lin Xiuge to find out.

At the end of the corridor is a resting corner.

There is also known as the "fishing corner". When he is not too busy at work, Lin Xiuge will occasionally talk about fishing there with his close colleagues, or play arcade games that can show off his skills.

He was certain that that was where the light came from.

Soon, Lin Xiuge came to the rest corner. He first saw the glowing screen. Just as he had judged before, this game console was running the latest sequel of the classic fighting game, and in

On the opposite side of the screen, a slender figure was leaning comfortably on a beanbag.

Lin Xiuge couldn't see the person's face clearly, and couldn't even tell the other person's gender. He could only see that the other person was wearing a fitted black suit, and his face was shrouded in a dark mist. At this time, he was concentrating on his hands.

Gamepad in .

"k!!!o!!!"

Familiar game sound effects came from the direction of the screen, and huge and eye-catching fonts popped up on the screen. In the light of the screen, Lin Xiuge stepped forward and wanted to ask something, but no matter how hard he tried,

, unable to make any sound.

"Shh."

The strange stranger raised a finger, making a silencing gesture, and then pointed to the wall beside him.

Lin Xiuge looked along and found that two huge doors had appeared on the originally empty wall.

Both doors are made of metal. On the door on the left, a huge ship is depicted. However, there are countless hands around the ship. It seems that these hands are trying to replace or disassemble the ship.

Component.

The door on the right is relatively simple. There is no pattern on it, but there is a line of text floating on it.

"Crown of the Black Sun."

As before, this door was isolated by an invisible wall and Lin Xiuge could not touch it.

So he could only go to the door on the left and try to put his hand on its handle.

The door opened, but behind the door, there was pure darkness.

At this moment, an indistinguishable chuckle came from behind. Just as Lin Xiuge was about to look back, he felt a sudden force acting on his body. As a result, he could no longer control his balance, so he

In this way, he fell into the abyss ahead in panic and fear.



"In the soft colors woven by the lights, that wonderful curve was once again reflected on the curtains. The young man stopped and held his breath. He could swear that in the past years, he had never been cold.

The God of Wind had prayed before, but at this moment, he prayed eagerly to the god who had no exact image, longing for Him to come here, cast his gaze towards the window like himself, and open the curtain on his behalf.

It’s so good to see the stunning scenery behind the curtains.”

"He took out the wine and took a deep sip into his mouth, and then a hot feeling flowed down his throat, igniting the fire in his eyes. At this moment, he was surrounded by countless

The God of Cold Wind who called for the first time seemed to be unable to hold back anymore, so a breeze blew and gently rolled open a corner of the curtain..."

Huge Ernst was lying on the table in the corner of the beer hall, writing furiously, but the sight from beside him made him stop writing very uncomfortably.

"Write! Keep writing!"

A hoarse voice urged from the side. It was the owner of this beer hall. He was obviously a little impatient. He reached out and patted Xiuge twice on the shoulder. When he saw the young man in front of him,

Still having no idea to continue writing, he changed his mind and said, "Okay, I'll get you a cup of sour beer, old recipe?"

"Yeah, same old thing, add more syrup and ice cubes."

The boss walked away in a hurry, and the blocked sunlight fell down again, shining on Sugar Ernst.

Xiuge turned his head and saw the face reflected in the glass again.

This is a dark-haired young man with deep-set eyes and fair complexion. Perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, the young man's face is thin, giving people the impression of staying up late and seriously lacking sleep.

Black hair and white skin are the most famous symbols of the Ernst family in the Walter Kingdom. However, as a dispensable illegitimate son in the family, Sugar Ernst was kicked to this small border town.

I can only rely on writing some "unfamous" things in exchange for royalties.

This is Lin Xiuge's current state.

Of course, if he were just a down-and-out young man, staying alone in a small border town and writing some gaudy literature, he would not find anything unpleasant. This was even very consistent with his job. However, in fact, he was

Faced with a huge problem.

After two consecutive days of repeated confirmations, Xiuge was certain that he had indeed entered the world view of the game "The Age of Black Sun". However, as the main person in charge of the game's plot and world view, he was not happy at all.

Because the era he currently lives in is a hundred years before the start of the main plot.

And he himself seems to have become a recurring character in the background setting.

In the plot outline created by Shuge himself, "Baron Ernst" plays a very important role - he will serve as a clue character to guide players through the initial main story.

It sounds like this is a "son of destiny" with an extraordinary status.
To be continued...
