You and me under the world tree

No.17 Rune: Lost.

Perhaps it is difficult to understand the meaning of the seventeen runes themselves in a literal sense.

Because when I saw them for the first time, I even wondered if these were really the so-called original runes.

After all, what is in it?

Doesn't it mean that the original rune covers almost everything in this world?

In fact, Huo De also thought so when he first came into contact with this so-called original rune.

But with learning and understanding, these seventeen runes seem to be describing a short story.

Maybe it's a personal story, maybe it's something else.

And, the story isn't quite over yet.

After all, this is not a pure game.

In the game, players cannot access the so-called fate, let alone the No.18 rune that was deliberately preserved by the king of the gods.

But here is the real Nine Realms.

And of course, he came into contact with it, and this rune was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Then a series of resonances arose.

No.18 magic particles are fully displayed.

At the same time, its name slowly emerged.

No.18 Rune: Destiny.

This does not seem to be a beautiful word.

At least in human cognition.

It seems strange to say, because when it comes to the future, people's first reaction is unknown, and they are full of confidence.

However, once the word 'fate' is involved.

Then everything will be different.

Because 'fate' seems irresistible.

When talking about the future, they subconsciously associate it with personal efforts, but when talking about fate, most people become extremely pessimistic.

So, what is the relationship between the so-called destiny and the future that has not yet happened?

Are there any conflicts between them?

But now, these seemingly esoteric topics don't seem to be important.

The important thing is the so-called talent tree and skill points that appeared in his mind.

Now, he still has the remaining skill points on hand.

If you want, you can also light up the rune called fate.

However, this so-called skill tree itself is unusual.

It's more like a road.

A path back to the past, leading to the original.

And every step will bring him closer to the God of Darkness!

Chapter 120: Sharing

Regarding this point, Hodder has actually already guessed, and he has even shared his thoughts and ideas in this regard with others.

In other words, the skill trees that players of "Nine Realms" can see and come into contact with are all part of the fallen God of Darkness.

Then the problem is coming.

What is your situation now?

If it is said that almost all the players of "Nine Realms" are in this situation.

So what about yourself?

After so many battles, can he defeat the ancient dark God of War at the level of martial arts?

Unknowingly, such an idea popped up in Hodder's mind.

suddenly.

But vaguely, he couldn't help feeling anxious in the depths of his heart.

He said, why did he have such an idea that sounded so ridiculous.

This seems to be easy to understand.

On the one hand, he didn't want to admit the connection between himself and the ancient god.

For this, he even developed a feeling close to hatred.

On the other hand is self-esteem.

martial arts.

In other words, skill.

It is different from magic that is linked to talent, as well as natural physical fitness and divine power. For humans, the weakest bottom race in the Nine Realms, only martial arts can be polished.

In theory, it has no hierarchy at all, it is just constant practice.

Although the so-called martial arts cannot be completely distinguished from physique and strength.

It is already common sense that human beings are inferior to gods in all aspects.

But self-esteem itself is such a strange thing.

Even Hodder himself understands this, but after all, there will be such an unconvinced thought.

In the final analysis, it is because of the question that seems to be omnipotent and has the ability to vent one's dissatisfaction:

"Why..."

He sighed.

But soon, he threw out all the messy self-esteem in his heart.

His attention returned to the magic skill tree again.

"If it was before, I would probably be very happy."

he said in a low voice.

To be honest, now he can't help but miss the past.

A long time ago, without knowing anything, he regarded the "Nine Realms", which was like a huge conspiracy, as a pure game.

At that time, he was still a pure player.

As a player, you will definitely be eager to spend all the skill points you have accumulated.

But now, everything has changed.

Although because of the problem of memory being modified, he didn't know when he gradually gave up that naive idea.

But when he came back to his senses, he found that reality forced him to move forward step by step, and then he had to raise resistance... No, it should be the banner of revenge.

Then the problem is coming.

Who is he avenging now?

In fact, this point has gradually become blurred when the memory has been modified by himself.

Can he ask with a clear conscience that he is avenging the Volsung family?

No, it can't.

Because in his memory, he had discovered the secret of the game before he went back and re-examined all of this.

For quite a while, he still treated these people, including Siegfried, as NPCs.

So, is he taking revenge for the betrayed God of Darkness?

I don't know, I don't understand.

But he hoped otherwise.

But no matter what, one thing can be confirmed, that is, there is still anger lingering in my heart.

Even if the memory is modified, he has experienced a lot after all.

Some things never change.

For example, that grief, that anger.

Maybe once, he forcibly labeled the memories in his mind as 'games', but he still felt uncomfortable.

"Humph."

In the end, he did nothing.

Even in front of his eyes, the No.18 rune that he had been thinking about before was right in front of him.

However, he eventually gave up.

Sufficient skill points?

No, to be honest, he hasn't touched the so-called skill points for a long time since he filled up the evil dragon's talent tree.

And after fully knowing the truth of the game and coming to this era through the special item 'Time Turner', he does everything by himself.

In the final analysis, why can you learn talent by pointing out talents with skills?

It is nothing more than an exploration of the individual soul, those traces left in the soul, those things that do not belong to him.

"Hodder!"

At this moment, the girl's voice rang in his ears.

She seemed anxious.

And when the skill tree in front of him completely dissipated, he shifted his gaze to her.

"What's wrong."

"Did you see it?"

"Ok?"

"I see it, I seem to have learned it, and I can show it to you."

She said.

Somewhat strangely, her interest seemed to be extremely high.

As if something happy happened.

Immediately afterwards, she slowly raised her hand, as if she wanted to draw something.

But before she could draw the newly learned rune, Hodder reached out and grabbed her.

"I……"

"Dietrich!"

Howard couldn't help raising his voice.

"what."

"Wake up."

"..."

Dietrich didn't respond positively, she just kept silent.

But eventually, she seemed to wake up fully.

Then, she noticed Hodder's eyes.

In fact, it's nothing, because she sensed his concern.
