Reincarnator Chapter 217:
Reincarnator - Chapter 217 : Exodus (1)
“Phew…”
Hansoo got up as he felt the pain from his creaking body .
‘ . . . I lived huh . ’
He felt like he was going to die when he had been crushed by the silver liquid but it seems he had survived and came up .
Hansoo first checked his body before checking his surroundings .
And then sighed .
‘ . . . It seems not even 10% of my original strength can be used . ’
It wasn’t from the damage to his body .
It was from his body that had been altered for that single attack .
Of course a body for a single attack was not a good body for fighting .
Since it wasn’t like he was going to lay down after a single strike of his spear .
‘Houp!’
Hansoo breathed in deeply and then started to forcibly change the parts of his body .
With his hands and brute strength .
Uuudududuk .
Duduk .
Kaddduk .
He released the twisted muscles and refit the bones and joints .
He massaged his veins and used pressure to reconfigure his spine .
Hansoo quickly reconfigured his body to how it was he had used the Nine Dragons Spear .
Though the Racial Metamorphosis had run out, the Mana Jade, Body Enhancement Surgery and the Dragon Essence Blade quickly healed the damaged cells and injuries .
Crunch!
Hansoo hit his spine by his neck, reconfigured the twisted structure and then nodded as he figured out the reason for all those twisted changes after moving his body around a bot .
And then smiled .
A skill for which one needed to even shift and twist their own bodies to use .
There was a huge risk .
But the reward was much larger .
The power .
Anybody at similar levels as him would die from just a single hit .
A single strike of ultimate destruction that cannot be dodged or blocked .
And even more so since Hansoo’s original battle style revolved around a single deadly strike .
‘This is good too . ’
Whooosh!
A red powder flew out from the end of Hansoo’s hand .
Integration .
The evolved form of the Pandemic Blade which he had been able to use by borrowing the strength of the Mana Engine in the past .
Though he wouldn’t be able to use it in a huge area since the Mana Jade was a weaker version of the Mana Engine, the fact that he could use it like this was good enough .
Hansoo checked the status of his body and then activated the Fragment of Seven Souls .
He needed to check the situation below .
Oooooong .
The owner of the soul fragment in the Yellow Zone, Khan, started to speak .
<Are you okay? We were worried, it has already been three days . >
Hansoo made a bitter expression at those words .
For him to be unconscious for 3 days .
‘I really should be careful when I use it . ’
Hansoo then started to ask about the situation:
<Any casualties?>
Khan nodded as he replied .
Everything had been taken care of completely below .
A tremendous shock wave was created from the explosion of the Gael-Tara, not much damage had come their way since it happened deep below the sea .
Though the seaside had become a mess, nobody lived there anyway so there were no issues .
10 Satellite Fortresses were more than enough for control .
<What about the Sages?>
Khan chuckled as he responded .
<That… . The 1st rank ones got beaten up to death . By the 3rd and 4th ranked ones . It seems like they had forced them to sacrifice their lives by deceiving them . This was found out and it was all fruitless so…>
<The surviving ones?>
<They didn’t have any power left so they accepted to stay in isolated areas . There were too many who had sacrificed their souls so . . . There aren’t many that are alive . Maybe they’ll be useful for repairing and maintenance of the Satellite Fortresses . >
This wasn’t bad at all .
As Hansoo nodded .
Khan hesitated but then spoke .
<Uh . . . I don’t think anybody will be able to come up for a while . >
According to what he had heard, humongous tornadoes and tsunamis were happening at the sea because of the explosion of the Gael-Tara .
They would die before they could even reach the depths to the next Zone if they went in there .
Hansoo nodded at those words and then nodded .
‘Since it has come to this, I guess we can implant the Mana Pools with the Satellite Fortresses . ’
It would’ve been much more convenient if he had a few more people with him but since it had come to this, there was nothing he could do .
The things above here would be easier for him to do alone anyway .
It was better to work alone, create a method of control and then call up the people as he saw from the example of Kaltus .
Since people whom he could not control were the same as walking disasters .
And even more so since their numbers had increased and every individual had gotten stronger .
‘I need to move out . ’
His body had healed up quite a bit and it wasn’t uncomfortable to move around anymore .
Hansoo got out of his seat and then sent a message to Khan .
<I’ll head out so stay well . >
Khan laughed as he spoke .
<There are a lot of people who are upset here . There’s nothing we can do . A few people here are quite envious of those who had crossed over . >
<Crossed over?>
Khan nodded .
<There weren’t enough people when we checked the numbers… It seems a few people who were nearby when the Garmeia transformed into the Gael-Tara just jumped into the Silver Sea while looking for a place to hide . >
Hansoo nodded .
The Silver Sea was actually the best option to run away from that beast .
Since that thing couldn’t chase beyond dimensions .
Khan spoke to Hansoo .
<Maybe they’ll meet you if they’re lucky . Stay strong . >
Khan saluted with sincerity and then stopped the communication .
‘I should move out . ’
Green Zone .
This place was very special .
Hansoo looked around .
An entirely white space .
It looked similar to the private dimension of Karmen from before but it was different .
The moment Hansoo took a step .
Craaack .
The air split apart as a familiar face popped out .
“Ah, as I expected! You were alive! I believed in you! Heheheh . How was it? It’s an amazing skill right?”
“ . . . ”
Hansoo made a small sigh as he looked at the mess of his body .
The Fairy enjoyed Hansoo’s reaction for a bit and then spoke as it spun around Hansoo .
“Now . . . The people ahead already departed . Only you need to go now . But before that . . . You need to listen to the important details . ”
As the fairy said this .
A panel opened up in front of Hansoo .
[Please choose the location to Log in/out]
-Kasias village/Beltirum’s mountain .
-Holy ground of Epos/Akainu’s valley .
-Garimto village/Lake of Achilles .
…
“Well… I should explain right? Heehee . ”
The fairy smiled and then started to explain about the details .
“The login area will tell you about the place where you start off . If you press them a brief explanation will be shown . ”
Hansoo pressed a location after hearing the Fairy’s words .
Chwaaaak!
Simple information regarding the village came up .
There wasn’t much of a reason why Hansoo tried pressing it .
Only because this was the place Hansoo had gone to in the past .
Of course he had to go to a different place this time .
The fairy spoke towards Hansoo who was expressionlessly flipping through the villages .
“The logout area would be determined by the login area . The logout areas are simple . It tells you how far you need to go until the next zone . Let’s see . . . Where to go? You will go to…”
As the Fairy played around, Hansoo mumbled quietly .
‘Exodus . ’
<Exodus>
The Green Zone’s nickname .
A realistic game .
A game-like reality .
The name of the virtual reality game that was actually being hosted in a world that was created by the **** .
‘It’s probably similar to modern society . ’
Even without having been there, one could determine a few things about this place .
A world where the virtual reality, <Exodus>, that **** had created was being run on .
The residents of that world didn’t realize that **** had created this game and enjoyed an alternative life after logging in .
It was the most famous game in that place .
The fairy’s explanations started to come into Hansoo’s ear .
“Well . Just think of it as a game and enjoy it . You played a lot of games right? Thankfully your systems are similar to this game . There are skills and items . You just need to continue what you were doing . Enjoy it like the residents there . ”
‘It's the same you say?’
Hansoo scoffed .
It was indeed similar .
The players could obtain artifacts, learn skills and increase masteries like them .
There were just a few core differences .
The first one being the logging in and out .
The players could log in and out whenever they wanted .
Like a game .
But he and the others were different .
Login .
After coming in here from the Yellow Zone .
Logout .
Going into the Blue Zone’s entrance after coming out of the Green Zone .
Towards the exit corresponding to the entrance .
Of course the entrance and the exit wouldn’t be close to each other .
If one picked a wrong starting point here then they would taste true **** .
The difficulties were similar at the entrances but the difficulties of the exit zones were like the difference between heaven and earth .
The true meaning of <Exodus>, <The great escape>, was very befitting .
And the second thing .
The Fairy continued to speak .
“The Exodus is a really well-made game so there are no bugs . Well, that’s obvious . Look who made it . Hehe . But as the players observed, there is actually a strange bug . ”
Players would receive a small penalty or a larger one depending on the situation at death .
But there was a common result .
They revived .
They all died differently but they would all eventually revive .
But the players of Exodus found something strange .
9 years ago according to the time of this place, after the 4th patch .
There were people who didn’t revive when they were killed and instead dropped every single artifact they had .
And these guys dropped such large amounts of experience, finding people like this between the players was basically a very lucky break .
The people were curious so they asked their company, Exodus .
Why this was happening .
The company’s response was simple .
<They’re bug players . People who login illegally . There wouldn’t be an issue to kill them on sight . Just think of it as a part of the game . >
Everyone rejoiced .
There was nothing to lose .
PK was limited to a large degree but there were no penalties for killing these guys and they were even rewarded with large amounts of experience and artifacts .
There were actually people who found out the charracteristics of bug players and chased these guys around .
This was what the residents of that world knew them as .
And this was the cruel reality for them .
They were players .
And…
He was a bug player .
“You . . Get what I mean right? You are now a walking treasure chest . Mister bug player . Shall we start?”
The fairy spoke while giggling .
