our family is gone

Chapter 1 Our family has fallen...

In a daze, Lin Bei seemed to have had a dream.

In the dream, he was called Lance, and he lived in a world similar to medieval society.

Both parents are scholars who study ancient history, wandering around the world's ruins all year round, and he was entrusted to take care of an old professor.

Until the news of his parents' disappearance came from afar, and Lance grew up under the care of the old professor, and became an ancient scholar under the influence of the materials left by his parents.

Just before Lance graduated from the academy and embarked on the road to find his parents, a letter was delivered to him.

The sender was an old man who claimed to be a housekeeper. He had a stooped figure and a thin face. He wore a pair of worn round glasses. Although the clothes on his body were old, he could vaguely see the glory of the nobles in the past.

For some reason, looking at his stiff smile gives people a horrible feeling like a zombie that just crawled out of the grave.

He conveyed news to me from a family that I had never heard of. My noble distant relative passed away, leaving behind a huge inheritance and a vast territory waiting for my inheritance.

Just when I was surprised that such a good thing happened to me, the special mark on the wax seal of the letter made me feel uneasy.

It was a mark of a half-arc divided by five short lines. I searched all the knowledge in my memory but couldn't identify it.

Uncomfortable, but for some reason I opened the envelope, hoping to learn about distant relatives, and about that legacy.

Until I saw that sentence.

"Our family has fallen..."

I remembered it, I remembered it all!

In this moment I know a terrible truth about the world. (Crown of Thorns Virtue)

"Hey! This broken game won't let me go even in my dreams."

Lin Bei woke up suddenly like a nightmare, but what he saw was not the familiar room, but the violent jolt reminded him that he was constantly moving.

Lin Bei could tell from the dimly lit chandelier that it was a dark wooden carriage, and at the same time there were two people sitting in front of him.

A medieval knight wearing full body armor, with a long sword leaning on his body, and the cross pattern on his body indicates that this person has a church background.

Another man was wearing an old hard leather coat, with a face scarf wrapped around his neck covering half of his face below the eyes, with a short sword and an antique short-barreled flintlock gun pinned to his waist.

Like~ so much like...

The strange dream just now and the scene in front of him gave Lin Bei a bad premonition. He looked down at the clothes on his body. On the outside was a medieval-style waist jacket with a fine linen lining and narrow trousers and riding boots underneath. .

Turning his head to look out of the window, there was only darkness, but the glass mirror reflected a handsome black-haired young man with a somewhat frail temperament of a scholar.

The lights hanging on the carriage were blocked by darkness only two or three meters away, but the twisted trees and randomly placed tombstones beside the road could still be vaguely seen.

No!
Seeing this, Lin Bei already knew what happened, but he still forced himself to find the letter from his body for the last comfort.

When he saw the first sentence, he could only accept the reality.

I have traversed by myself, and I have traversed into the world of the game.

Lin Bei, an ordinary person who was playing games in front of the computer one second, turned into the heir Lance running on the old road the next.

But this discovery made him panic. The indescribable pressure was like a boulder pressing on his chest. Even breathing made him exhausted, almost to the point of heart failure.

If he really went to accept the aristocratic inheritance, he would die laughing. Although the Middle Ages was chaotic, inheriting the aristocratic inheritance by oneself is equivalent to jumping from ordinary people to the aristocratic class. When the time comes, the exploitation will be over. This kind of good thing can take turns to him!
But the problem is that the main theme of the world view in the game I travel through is despair and darkness.

The main plot is that an ancestor who was tired of the extravagant life spied on the ancient gods under the old mansion, and then began to dig, explore and research, and caused a lot of trouble directly or indirectly in the process.

After seeing the evil god sealed underground, the ancestor started to make plans to become a god, leaving a letter and throwing all the troubles to the protagonist of the game, asking him to start killing in the territory in the name of his family, and all died on this land All creatures will provide the power for the ancestors to become gods.

Players will fight against unimaginable enemies, famine, disease, and the pressure that constantly erodes the mind, and finally kill the ancestors to prevent the evil god from descending and destroying the world.

I am afraid that no one here knows better than him that what he inherited is not a noble territory, but a meat grinder that devours flesh and blood.

Enemies, beasts, filth, strange demons, blood descendants lurk here... all kinds of monsters and ghosts, and they have to fight against famine, curse, plague, and human nature.

Being abused in the game at least retains the opportunity to restart to accumulate experience and strength, but if you live in this desperate and doomed world, it is basically a dead end.

Thinking of this, Lin Bei couldn't help holding his head in his hands and grabbing his thick black hair.

I want to go home~ (torture)
"Ding! The service you subscribed to is online, please check."

But the voice that came from nowhere made him sweep away the restlessness just now, and instead showed an expression of ecstasy.

Looking at the panel in front of him, he understood that the plug-in has been credited.

…………

…………

"So my name is Lance now~"

Living in the modern age of information explosion, his ability to accept and capture information is strong enough, and he quickly accepted his current identity, and at the same time extracted some key points from the panel.

[Family of another world] is a profession that has never been seen in the game. From the description of the word "Family" combined with the skill [Sacrifice], it can be seen that an unknown and powerful existence is involved. The essential.

The level represents the quantification of strength. In the game, the traveler is a level 0 blank board, and above it are apprentices, braves, elites, masters, champions, and legends.

The difference between skills and traits is that one is active and the other is passive, and traits can reflect the origin to a certain extent.

And [Asylum] and [Innate Talent] to some extent correspond to immune pressure and experience doubled respectively.

Also, [ancient bloodline] corresponds to the particularity of the bloodline in Lance's body.

It's not a good thing to have too much inspiration in a Cthulhu mythology story.

I'm afraid there are some secrets hidden in the bloodline of this family, that's why the ancestor showed characteristics different from ordinary people. With the blessing of blood brew, he could even spy on the seal of the evil god buried deep in the ground.

But these things have to be put aside first, and now his first priority is to find a way to survive from this world.
