That meant he effectively had two lives to burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Castle Region in the game had already been fully explored, with no areas left unchecked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun, controlling the Yellow-Robed Bishop, made his way back to where his journey had begun—the White Moon Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the church’s crossroads, the familiar options reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already explored the tower to the east and the castle to the north. To the west, to the right of the church, was a dead-end filled with ruins. And straight ahead to the south…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun pondered. He had just obtained a Level 32 Shell the previous night. Wouldn’t fighting the Sea Dragon Boss with that Shell be practically guaranteed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, the bloodied Engineer had been one-shot by the Yellow-Robed Bishop’s skill last night—but in full health, the Engineer would’ve annihilated the Bishop. The level gap was just too big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought, the Engineer’s Shell had way less potential compared to the Bishop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving the enormous experience reward from the Boss to the Engineer would mean the Yellow-Robed Bishop wouldn’t get to level up—a tough sacrifice to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to think long-term. He couldn’t sacrifice growth just for temporary convenience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it was daytime right now. Don’t forget—Shells not aligned with the Blood Sun faction would go insane and die if exposed to sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun made up his mind. He blew the horn to summon his warhorse and selected the southbound option!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You begin your journey to the south.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You arrive at the end of the road. A colossal figure blocks your way…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Its body is mountainous in size. Patches of decaying flesh show through its shedding, mottled scales. Hooked fangs line its gaping maw. Its fin-shaped limbs are thick and muscular. Its enormous tail smashes craters into the ground with each swing.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The ‘Corrupted Subspecies Sea Dragon’ has noticed your presence. Crimson eyes lock onto you…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What will you do?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[1. Shout “What are you looking at?!” then charge in on your warhorse and stab its rear with your dragon-slaying staff-spear.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[2. Kneel and beg, “Great Dragon King, I’ve brought you a sacrifice,” and smile slyly as you offer your Turkoman Bloodhorse as a snack.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[3. Raise your staff-spear, cast “Corrupt Sunlight,” then flee while shouting, “Hahaha~ can’t catch me!”]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Can I just choose none of these?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun stared at the three options, squinting at the text—realizing that every line practically screamed “DEATH.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sigh, he resorted to the process of elimination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option 2 was out immediately. In a game this hellishly dark, begging would probably make him the snack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option 1 wasn’t viable either. Setting aside how suicidal it was for a mage to go melee—even if he switched to the Paladin of Discipline for a charge attack, if the Boss didn’t die in one hit, he’d just be delivering himself on a platter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, with the Yellow-Robed Bishop, he had two lives. If it really couldn’t be beaten, he could always wait until night and switch to the Engineer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides, he had the Thunder Dragon Staff-Spear, a weapon specifically made for slaying dragons. What was there to fear?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resolved, Lin Xun selected the third option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Brave Apostle, you raise your staff-spear and begin chanting a spell…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The ‘Corrupted Subspecies Sea Dragon’ watches you with puzzlement, not understanding what the little creature is doing.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A flash of red light…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Corrupt Sunlight strikes the Sea Dragon’s massive head—blood sprays!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It roars in fury, opening its foul, gaping maw, where a dangerous red glow gathers…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Knowing you’re outmatched, you decide to flee. Where to?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[1. The White Moon Church behind you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[2. The bloodstained tower to the east.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[3. The ruins of the Clocktower to the west.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen turned blood red and began to shake violently—the choice was clearly timed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun had no time to think and reflexively picked the safest option—the White Moon Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You flee on horseback toward the White Moon Church, not daring to look back.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[After a mad dash, you arrive at the church door. You stumble off your horse and even slam the doors shut behind you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun let out a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d just go out again, toss another skill at the Sea Dragon, and keep running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repeat the process—wouldn’t that be a no-damage kill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, he couldn’t help but grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As the Apostle smirks with glee, convinced he’s safe…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You see a blinding red Dragon Breath engulf your entire vision.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You died!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really underestimated just how cursed this game is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun clutched his forehead—his blood pressure spiking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The feeble wandering soul revives in the familiar little chapel…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the safe zone isn’t safe?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the Thunder Dragon Staff-Spear—wasn’t it supposed to be imbued with real dragon-slaying power after reforging, even if it was made from imitation parts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had reforged it by fusing it with the White Moon Silver Scepter—it had to be better than a normal version!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cheap knock-offs can’t be trusted!” Lin Xun cursed bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what now? Was this a dead end? Did he have to use the Engineer Shell—an “out-of-bounds” method—to win?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t joined the organization, hadn’t killed the Engineer last night and taken his Shell… would this part of the game just be a hard stop?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun didn’t believe the game would leave him no options. There had to be a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could operate the Shell Reshape function with his eyes closed by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending 1 Soul Strength, he revived the Yellow-Robed Bishop at the White Moon Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the text that appeared next left him utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The central structure of Saint Rance—White Moon Church—has been leveled by a world-destroying force. Only broken walls and ruins remain.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell?! The Boss can vaporize even the safe zone with a single breath?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun stared in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he didn’t need to worry about whether to give the EXP to the Engineer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this level of destructive power, even the Engineer would get roasted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the point of even playing now?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun wracked his brain but couldn’t figure out a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading over the Boss fight text again, every option felt like a guaranteed death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You couldn’t even survive in the safe house. And the White Moon Church was gone. What hope did the other locations have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of sick game lets a Boss flatten your safe zone with one move?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t set his respawn point to the chapel inside the castle, he couldn’t even imagine what the next screen would look like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought hard for a while—and suddenly noticed something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm? Leveled to the ground?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it! Leveled to the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of insight jolted his brain—suddenly everything clicked into place!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the White Moon Church’s crossroads, the western option had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To the west: Saint Rance’s tallest landmark—the Artemis Clocktower—has collapsed. A small mountain of bricks and rubble blocks your path.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if the Sea Dragon Boss’s Dragon Breath could flatten even the safe zone, then maybe… it could also flatten the rubble of the collapsed Clocktower—clearing the way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hidden map!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those three words exploded in Lin Xun’s mind!\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-05-30T04:23:11.631Z","2026-06-01T04:30:17.920Z",1,"novelbin.me","0f872e8c42b5167b8547671d793a4d8e85f8e1fb95ce117fcc12a793d3300000","i-save-the-world-in-a-doomsday-text-game-chapter-37","i-save-the-world-in-a-doomsday-text-game-chapter-35",825,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-save-the-world-in-a-doomsday-text-game-cover.jpg"]
