Couldn’t be more fitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left with no better option, he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, it’s up to you now—Blacksmith, I choose you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have possessed the Shell of the ‘Corrupted Blacksmith.’]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Lin Xun had recalled his warhorse just in time before the church was destroyed—saving it from becoming collateral damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned the steed again and mounted it using the Blacksmith Shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Which direction do you wish to go?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You begin heading south.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You arrive at the end of the road. A colossal figure looms before you…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Sea Dragon Boss again, Lin Xun expected to get another batch of ridiculous options like melee taunt, begging for mercy, or using a skill and running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The ‘Corrupted Subspecies Sea Dragon’ lets out a furious roar the moment it sees you. Its foul jaws open wide, gathering a searing red light within!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on! I changed disguises—how do you still recognize me?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three new options appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Doomed Apostle, where will you flee to?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[1. Back toward distant Fox Castle.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[2. Toward the bloodstained tower in the east.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[3. Toward the ruins of the Clocktower in the west.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed the third option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You gallop toward the west at full speed. Just as you reach the Clocktower ruins…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A red Dragon Breath fills your entire vision.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You died!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect. Mission accomplished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun nodded in satisfaction. The Blacksmith and his warhorse had died gloriously—for the greater good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The feeble wandering soul revives in the familiar small chapel…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He possessed the Yellow-Robed Bishop again and returned to the crossroads near the White Moon Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game text had changed for the westward path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To the west: The rubble of Saint Rance’s tallest landmark—the Artemis Clocktower—has been leveled by a world-destroying force. The small mountain of bricks and debris has been reduced to flat, scorched earth.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You discover a ‘new road’ among the ruins.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Would you like to proceed?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hidden map—confirmed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun pumped his fist in excitement and pressed “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You follow the ‘new road,’ eventually reaching the outskirts of Saint Rance.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The area is desolate and lifeless. After some searching, you discover a metal hatch in the ground.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You lift the metal plate and find a stairway descending underground.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Foul crimson wind wafts from the dark hole. You can faintly hear dripping water and running streams. This appears to be the entrance to the ‘Saint Rance Sewers.’]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you wish to enter?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sewers, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just hearing the name told him there would be monsters inside—probably disgusting ones too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Lin Xun didn’t hesitate and pressed “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You cover your nose and mouth and descend the steps into the dank, dark sewers.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The ‘Thunder Dragon Staff-Spear’ in your hand glows with golden light, illuminating your surroundings.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The sewers are cramped and narrow. The arched ceiling is barely half a Shell’s height above your head. Pungent, black sewage water rises to your ankles.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You follow the curved tunnel forward.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[From the darkness ahead, you hear a slithering, crawling sound. Do you want to investigate?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh. You think you can bait me with this cheap scare?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing this cursed game’s usual antics, “investigating” probably meant a red ‘YOU DIED’ message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without bothering to find out what kind of abomination lay ahead, Lin Xun opened the skill menu and cast Corrupt Sunlight straight into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cautious Apostle, you raise your staff-spear and begin chanting…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A red flash!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A piercing, agonized scream echoed for a long time through the cold, damp sewers.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have defeated the ‘Corrupted Crawler.’ Experience increased slightly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You obtained: Foul Dungstone (Junk).]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The crawling sounds have ceased. You carefully move forward, guided by your weapon’s light.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Shell of the ‘Corrupted Crawler’ is a deformed humanoid torso crawling on all fours. Once covered in writhing maggots, it died from a searing blast of energy. The stench is nauseating—but it oddly smells like cooked meat.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why doesn’t this thing have a Compatibility rating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading further, Lin Xun realized—this creature had only an upper body, which didn’t meet the full-body requirement for Shell possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly dismissed the idea of possessing it. Even if it did have compatibility, there was no way he’d use such a revolting Shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As you examine the corpse, fragmented memories stir within your Shell…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Before the Blood Sun’s corruption reached Saint Rance, there were already believers of the Blood Sun cult living in Moonlight’s Hometown. Under the orders of Yellow-Robed Bishop August, they were executed by the White Moon Church’s Guardian Knights—cut in half and discarded into Saint Rance’s sewers, left to rot and be forgotten.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh—so these mobs are my doing? Never mind then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied, Lin Xun selected the option to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You step over the rotting corpse and continue onward.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Up ahead, you spot a familiar flicker of light.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You hurry toward it and discover a large, floating page at the tunnel fork ahead.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have found a missing page of the Book of Salvation—Resting Page!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s a respawn point. He had been hoping for a treasure chest or something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You reach out to touch the Resting Page. The residual divine power makes your soul tremble. The feeble soul and the page resonate strongly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have bonded with the Resting Page of the ‘Saint Rance Sewers’…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun set the new respawn point, then refreshed by resting once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he turned back to continue farming the Corrupted Crawlers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grinding EXP? Totally valid strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing a few waves of small mobs, Lin Xun noticed two diverging paths behind the Resting Page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like it’s a maze-style layout, just like the mines.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to past experiences, he got up from bed and began mapping his routes on the computer—just in case he got lost or missed any areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, as he explored further, the Saint Rance sewers turned out to be just as he suspected—full of twists, turns, and mobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the Corrupted Crawlers, there were also Corrupted Giant Rats, Corrupted Twisting Worms, and Corrupted Red-Eyed Bats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of these monsters dropped anything particularly valuable—mostly junk like dungstones. Only a few yielded spiritual essence items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite cutting down dozens of creatures, the Yellow-Robed Bishop still hadn’t leveled up. It seemed experience requirements became massive after level ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Lin Xun wasn’t in a rush. Once the sewers were fully explored, he’d return to the Resting Page and happily grind EXP again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You continue forward and discover a slightly ajar wooden door on the tunnel wall. Faint orange light flickers from within.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you want to open the door and enter?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oho?
