[The spiritual link is stable...... The spiritual link ends steadily...... Player's Real-World Strength Level: Gold Intermediate. Maximum tolerable acceleration time speed: 64 times. 】

[——Do you want to experience the rise and fall of civilization?] Want to know more about ...... Is there a meaning in life? ——】

[-Yes/No-]

In a small single-family villa in the southern part of Moldavia, Priest sat in his room, rubbing his chin in confusion and staring at the 'yes/no' button in his spirit.

"How do I feel that this choice has a deep meaning......"

"Priest, what are you doing here?"

Just as Priest was talking to himself, on the other side, Sur, who was using magic to hold a sprinkler and water various magical plants and ordinary potted plants in the house, happened to pass by Priest's room, and the ghost elf girl looked through the wall with some doubts: "Go home and sleep in the afternoon, are you going to the ring to compete, are you too tired?" ”

Suer was also an X-year-old elf before his death (the girl's age is a secret), and his strength is also silver high-level, and after his death, he can directly touch the elements because he can touch the elements, and his magic control has been strengthened.

As for the ring she said, it is a well-known public martial arts arena located in the eastern outer city, and there are often students of Wintercastle Academy who want to settle personal grievances or compete to rent, naturally, there are also some mercenaries who will go there to practice their skills in their leisure time, so as not to be idle for a long time, and Priest is also a frequent visitor there.

"No, it's something else, Sur, you can get busy first - and next time, don't go through the wall casually, I also have privacy."

"Slightly~"

Hearing Priest's answer, the elf girl slowly retracted her head back into the wall after sticking out her tongue and making a grimace, and after the other party's interruption this time, Priest also made a decision, he shrugged his shoulders and said to himself: "Forget it, look at this, it should be something new that the teacher has made recently, it shouldn't be harmful." ”

In front of the card bar, after discovering the novelty in this spirit terminal, Priest decided to go home directly and study what this 'full infiltration game' called the Continent of Discord is, and after getting a lot of tedious mental tests, he is also qualified to enter the internal testing server.

Anyway, if you have a lot of time, just try it first, if it's not fun, it's a big deal and don't play.

Thinking of this, Priest simply clicked 'yes' in the mental space.

However, the moment Priest's spirit touched the 'yes' button, he felt an incomparably huge force coming across the magic net, completely enveloping his spirit.

Then, darkness fell, and all the colors in the spiritual terminal space faded, leaving only the blood-colored icons floating in the void, shattered swords and wands intersecting in front of the broken shields, and metal chains constantly turning, bringing black fire like sin.

A deep, familiar male voice rang in Priest's ear.

"Welcome to the Continent of Discord."

As soon as the words fell, a super powerful hypnotic circle from an unnamed spiritual master was activated, and Priest simply fell into the 'deep infiltration' mode.

……

By the time Priest wakes up and realizes that he has entered the so-called deep dive mode, and when he starts the game, the darkness around him has disappeared, and a blue sea appears around him.

Above the sea, the sun was blazing, there were no clouds in the sky, there were no islands or waves on the sea, and he could easily see the end of the horizon...... There is also a silver menu floating in front of you.

[Before starting the game, please set up the character first]

Since he often visits forums on the spirit terminal and does magic net shopping, Priest is no stranger to things like menus and setting characters - it's just a face, who will trade on the magic web with his true face - and this game called the Continent of Strife actually provides a face pinching function!

After admiring the beautiful scenery of the sea for a while, he decided to pinch himself handsome this time, lest his sister and Sur always complain that they were pinching the same as the chaos monsters, and it would make people unable to eat when they looked at it.

However, after a few seconds, Priest frowned and shouted, "What the hell is this? ”

Is this also a set character?!

It can be seen that what appears on the screen in front of Priest's eyes is not the virtual character settings that are common in various forums and exchanges - in fact, there is basically nothing on it, only a small point that is insignificant, and it is not even completely invisible if you don't look at it carefully.

No matter how much Priest zooms in, he can only see a small dot and some of its subtle and complex structures...... If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be confused at this time, but because there was still an alchemist in the team, a member of the team who was quite passionate about biology, Priest could barely see that this small dot was actually not a simple dot, but a 'cell' in a sense.

And the so-called character setting is nothing more than determining what type of cell this is.

"Carbon-based...... Amino...... Silicon-based ...... Hey, and subdivisions? Partial plant and biological lines, or a mixture of the two? ”

With a frowning brow, Priest scrolled through the menu, and he suddenly felt that this setting was quite interesting, especially when the young warrior found that the structure and introduction of these 'cells' seemed to have something to say, as if they had really existed: "Wait, there are still elemental creatures?" The natural rune aggregate of the fire element, and the entanglement of psionic energy fluctuations?! ”

Seeing this, Priest couldn't help but be surprised - because he had been tutoring under Earl Radcliffe, he knew that elemental creatures actually had their own structure, just like human elves and other flesh creatures, rather than just a group of soul-based energy bodies, and the structures called 'Natural Rune Aggregates' and 'Psionic Fluctuation Entanglements' were cells similar to flesh and blood life, and were the most basic life structures for elemental and psionic life.

Being able to choose so many types of 'cells' suddenly made Priest curious, with his experience in a hundred battles and the insight of exploring many other worlds, of course he could see that these structures were not nonsense, all of them were true, so even if Priest didn't know how to play in the Continent of Discord now, he began to look forward to it: "In that case, I'll choose the one I am most familiar with...... The 'cells' of flesh and blood life. ”

After clicking confirm, there was originally a section to select the appearance, set the talent ability, choose the place of birth and difficulty, etc., but Priest, who was quite curious about the content of the game, had no patience to set them one by one, so he simply clicked 'All Random', and then selected 'Start Game' on the silver menu.

[After setting, start random ...... Randomized Finish: Carbon-based lifeform, continent world adaptation, innate ability is 'Elemental Affinity', dungeon difficulty is 'Medium']

[Random race name 'Elemental Cell Body', start loading the newbie dungeon......]

After choosing to start, Priest immediately fell into the strange darkness at the beginning, and in the darkness, the originally incomparably tiny 'cells' began to gradually grow larger, bigger, and then just like that, engulfed Priest, and then a jump, submerged into the sea.

And before Cell completely engulfed Priest, he saw the last flickering passage in the silver menu.
