‘Finally, I’ve found it. The key to reaching “that woman.”‘

The girl later comes to know.

His desire is to find the “Witch’s Limbs” and, moreover, to kill the “Witch of the Blue Rose.”

What exactly is the “Witch’s Limbs” he speaks of?

And why does he vow revenge against the “Witch of the Blue Rose”?

The girl named Ari, given a name by Hunt, was bought only to be exploited by him.

Some games require agreeing to this statement in order to play.

Even if it's not necessary for the game, the game typically begins with a similar disclaimer guiding the player through the precautions.

Although the advantage of a game is the 'immersion' that no other medium can match, starting with such a statement disrupts the immersion from the beginning despite everyone knowing the work is fiction.

There is no mandatory need to include such a disclaimer, so why do it?

It is likely to emphasize a fact that everyone should always remember.

The man with tattered clothes and an old sword said, "So, I *can* kill."

He did not have any particularly memorable appearance.

He was likely not a well-known person, at least, not to the mercenary he was killing.

The important fact was that the man who had been stabbed by the worn-out sword was now dying in front of him.

"Ugh..."

When the man pulled the sword out of the mercenary, the mercenary's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. He no longer had the strength to resist.

He wanted to raise his arm to swing his sword, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He gritted his teeth and wanted to cast a spell, but he lacked the focus to do so.

"Why... you... how?"

Thus, the mercenary chose to give up on resisting and opened his mouth to speak.

Why had the man suddenly attacked him? He had only seen him collapse and moved him to a nearby cave.

What kind of person, what kind of thoughts had led him to do this as soon as he woke up?

The mercenary was so curious that he asked the question.

"How fascinating."

The man stroked his chin as he stared at the dying mercenary.

The sight of the man in his worn-out clothes pondering was somewhat terrifying.

Soon, as if he had reached a conclusion, the man broke his silence.

"I never knew I could attack an NPC. Is that how the game is made?"

"...What?"

The mercenary couldn't understand the man's words.

NPC, not knowing an attack would work, game. He couldn't make sense of any of the words the man said.

Having spent his whole life living as a mercenary according to his "setting," he could never understand what the man was saying.

'No, you must respond properly. Properly—'

But he couldn't continue his next words or even think about the meaning of his response, and the mercenary's consciousness began to fade.

A killing driven by nothing but curiosity, with no reason.

That was the first death experienced by NPC Aiden Oliver. <<less

The sect leader of a certain small sect took in a personal disciple rumored to be a total loser who hadn’t broken through the initial three stages even after five years. The other disciples were in an uproar. They watched in disbelief as the sect leader treated this “useless basket” like a treasured pearl, stuffing her hands with top-grade spirit stones and high-quality spiritual treasures as if money meant nothing. The disciples thought the sect leader had gone mad.... more>>

Unexpectedly, just days later, the sect leader insanely kicked her into the territory of their rival sect, under the guise of encouraging her to gain more experience. The disciples of the Tuo Yue Sect pitied her, thinking she would be terribly bullied at the Shui Yun Sect.

However, within days, calamitous news spread:

– Disciples of the Shui Yun Sect encountered a beast tide, a disaster seen once in a millennium!

– The Shui Yun Sect was struck by lightning, destroying their temple!

– The ancient ancestor of the Shui Yun Sect failed yet another tribulation attempt against the lightning!

– The guardian beast of the Shui Yun Sect broke through its barrier and went mad, causing the senior elders to intervene and sustain severe injuries!

Within two months, the development of the Shui Yun Sect regressed by thirty years.

Meanwhile, Mo Yu, a once powerful figure who was killed by a tribulation lightning in her previous life, is reborn as a lowly errand disciple in a minor sect. Nonchalantly, she decides to just coast along, doing daily check-in tasks and sweeping around, living leisurely.

Suddenly, she is noticed by the sect leader, taken as a personal disciple, and even sent as an exchange student to make the sect proud. Well, she thought, wherever she goes, she just needs to survive, right? But as she continues this laid-back life, the sects around her keep collapsing, while her own sect’s status skyrockets.

Watching her master smiling with various top-tier cultivation resources in his arms, she realizes with a dazed expression:

A supreme calamity body? Capable of bringing misfortune to those around her? Comparable to a karmic tribulation? Turns out, she’s a jinx! <<less
