"I never expected that in the real world, there really exists a magical place called Nightmare Space. With all the bizarre species that have been appearing over the past few years, along with so many Spatial Passages, perhaps it won't be long before this world undergoes a great change..."
However, all of that is just fleeting thoughts. As long as I can survive, as long as I can keep my family safe, I don't care about Nightmare Space. Even if it means facing infinite horrors, I will fight with all I have.
Listening to the countdown in my ears, I took one last look at the home I've lived in for over twenty years. Wen Changqing took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
I don't know how much time passed.
Suddenly, Wen Changqing's mind became clear. However, he did not immediately open his eyes; instead, he kept them closed and focused on listening to the sounds around him.
In fact, no one knew that he possessed a special Ability. However, once this Ability was activated, it would consume half of his Stamina, so under normal circumstances, he would never use it.
This was a trump card, a secret known only to himself.
But now that he was back here in Nightmare Space, it was absolutely necessary to be cautious about what might happen.
The fact that he was still alive proved that he was temporarily safe.
Moreover, since Nightmare Space had brought him here, it shouldn't have thrown him into a place where death was certain. Therefore, rather than hastily opening his eyes and alarming any potential 'enemies,' it would be better to continue pretending to be asleep and listen to the surroundings.
Although he had been pulled here by that strange force without having time to react, the scene from that moment remained vividly in his mind!
He was someone with an eye-based Ability and also half a cultivator. His greatest strength lay in his ability to accept mysterious phenomena and the willpower cultivated through long periods of meditation.
When faced with such bizarre events, his capacity for acceptance far exceeded that of ordinary people; he would not foolishly speculate that he was experiencing an illusion!
Because what is called an illusion or 'ghost wall' would crumble and disappear under his keen gaze.
He believed that even if someone in this world could create such terrifyingly realistic illusions, he would still be able to spot even the slightest flaw.
"Sure enough, there are people here, and there are five of them!!!"
Wen Changqing heard several steady breaths, along with a man's light chuckle, as if he had been surprised by something and then let out a laugh.
But just as he was about to continue pretending to sleep, a frivolous male voice rang out slowly, "Oh ho, I didn't expect that among this batch of newcomers, there would be some with decent physical qualities and conditions! Waking up in just two minutes is quite surprising!"
"And since you're awake, you might as well open your eyes and use those relatively calm brains of yours to recall. I believe Nightmare Space has left you enough information."
Waking up in just two minutes?
Wen Changqing slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat. How could that frivolous man, who exuded a lazy aura, not feel anything unusual?!
His scalp tingled, and chills ran down his spine!
Wood glanced suspiciously at the guy who had woken up first but had been pretending to sleep. The fear evident in his eyes was unmistakable—was he scared?
No way!!!
Suddenly, a chilling sensation lightly brushed against his neck, causing his entire body to tense up instantly. However, he was no longer a newcomer and quickly relaxed.
At that moment, in the open wilderness, four older men who had been lying on the ground pretending to sleep suddenly flipped over and stood up. Although their clothing varied, they all shared the same calm demeanor.
They all focused their attention on the man holding a dagger, whose entire body was shrouded in darkness except for his eyes.
There was a man sitting on the ground, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. Beneath his handsome exterior, he possessed a tall and robust physique.
He first surveyed the four wary individuals before him with a look of mild surprise, then slowly spoke, "Not bad, not bad! Think carefully; the space has already injected information into your minds. Also, my dear friend behind me, you can put down your dagger. I mean no harm."
"Of course, if you had even an ounce of murderous intent, that blade would have already pierced your artery." The figure, whose face was mostly obscured except for his eyes, suddenly made the dark, matte dagger vanish and retreated several meters.
In their minds?
Although Wen Changqing was astonished by the man's strength—able to cover several meters in a single step—this thought barely formed when a series of low voices echoed in his mind.
"Contractor No. 11956, welcome to Nightmare Space."
"This is your first Nightmare World experience—Night Transmission: The Rise of the Wolf Clan."
"This is your first Nightmare World, so if you have any questions about this world, you can query relevant information through the Nightmare Mark. Notice: Under normal circumstances, only this world has such privileges."
"Warning: You may interact with narrative characters but must not attempt to disclose any information about the Nightmare World and the real world in any way; otherwise—erasure!!!"
"Warning: You must complete the main quest within the specified time; otherwise—erasure!!!"
"Beginning digital simulation attribute matching. Countdown to enter the Dimension of Night Transmission: The Rise of the Wolf Clan is now activated..."
"Data organization complete. Displaying mission log..."
"Main quest: Survival!"
"Mission Brief: Survive! As a Novice, you must first learn how to survive and fight in this cruel environment! Cherish this opportunity, for it is the only one you will get. If you miss it, you will discover just how merciless this world can be!"
"Mission Objective: Survive for ten hours and kill at least one Low-Level Werewolf or Vampire."
"Mission Hint: Low-Level Werewolves in the Black After Jungle will awaken. Un-evolved werewolves are pure and ferocious beasts that will seek out anything they can eat!"
"Mission Hint: Upon accepting this mission, a beginner's weapon will be provided!"
"Mission Description: In the Dark Age, Undead Creatures roam freely, and humanity struggles to survive between Vampires and Werewolves, suffering greatly. They yearn for a hero to save them."
"Mission Hint: This Dimension is not only home to Vampires and Werewolves; it is also a chaotic realm where practitioners of mysticism such as Witches, Shamans, and Warriors engage in conflict. Proceed with caution."
"Side Quest 1: Kill at least 10 Vampires to earn the title of Vampire Hunter (Mission Reward: Complete to gain 000 Evolution Points; failure results in a deduction of 10 Evolution Points)."
"Side Quest: Kill at least 10 Werewolves to earn the title of Werewolf Slayer (Mission Reward: Complete to gain 000 Evolution Points; failure results in a deduction of 10 Evolution Points)."
"Notice: For every additional dark creature killed beyond the mission requirements, gain 100 Evolution Points; Leader-level creatures yield 0 Evolution Points."
"Notice: In this film, if infected by the Bloodline of Undead Creatures, the severity of the infection will be assessed. If the concentration of Undead Creatures' Bloodline reaches 70% or higher, it will be considered a mission failure, resulting in the loss of all rewards."
"Notice: Death during the mission is considered normal."
"This film's difficulty rating: Extremely Easy."
"Very good! Finally, we have a situation where everyone is normal!"
The man seemed somewhat satisfied as he slowly continued, "I have experienced the Nightmare World six times, so I am somewhat of a senior among you. Therefore, I will say this in advance: if anyone asks me whether this is a kidnapping, high technology, or an illusion, I will hang them on a flagpole and let the werewolves tear them apart!"
Ye Kai nearly laughed out loud at that remark. However, since he was currently playing the role of an assassin in this dark world, he remained steady in the shadows, trying to minimize his presence.
The simulated Nightmare Mark was truly impressive; it was perfectly chaotic.
After such a long time, the Nightmare Space had not detected any issues at all.
"First of all, this is your first mission scenario, and the difficulty will be very simple! Make sure to cherish this opportunity, Novices!"
Wood lit up another premium Cuban cigar and exhaled smoke as he said, "This is a trial scenario. Your abilities will be enhanced, and your pain sensitivity will be reduced. This will greatly improve your chances of survival!"
"Now, close your eyes and silently recite your attributes."
"Since you've arrived here, the space has already digitized your physical data. Heh heh! You are like characters in a game; you won't die immediately from a critical hit as long as your health points don't reach zero. No matter how severe your injuries are, you can survive—provided you can hold on until you return to the space!"
"Now, take a look at your attributes, Novices. Oh, of course, the one standing behind me doesn't count. Want to join in? No? Alright then, let's see each of your attributes!"
Clearly, this man was in a bad mood after encountering himself. However, Ye Kai merely shrugged and ignored him. Instead, he curiously recited his attributes in his mind.
Immediately afterward, a row of data appeared before his eyes.
"Contractor ID personal information as follows; the values in parentheses represent the average attributes of a normal adult male."
Your basic attributes are as follows:
Main Attribute: Strength: 5 (5). Strength determines the power of your attacks and enhances your ability to carry weight, allowing you to wear and use certain heavy and powerful armor or weapons.
Agility: 5 (5). Agility determines your mobility and attack speed, as well as your evasion rate. It also has a certain influence on physical ranged attacks.
Intelligence: 5 (5). Intelligence determines your energy limit. Energy can be converted into any attribute's true energy, magic power, mental power, and so on. (One point of Intelligence equals ten points of energy.)
Stamina: 45 (5). Stamina determines your resistance to damage and affects your endurance in running and fighting. It also partially influences your health recovery and defense. (One point of Stamina equals ten points of health.)
...
Profession: Assassin.
Profession Feature: Killer Instinct in the Dark.
Skilled with daggers, as the saying goes, "A short blade is a dangerous blade." You never know whether an assassin is feigning weakness or luring the enemy in.
Patient, calm, still when not moving, but when they do move—Thunderclap.
