In the tall building at the center of the city number 3.
A group of bounty hunters had a discussion.
"Are you sure they will use the sun card to clear the challenge on the 100th floor?"
Asked one of the four bounty hunters who was sent to the Fifth planet.
Another one answered,
"I am sure.
You know the tycoons are stuck there for a while now.
The Sixth planet is nothing to worry about, the seventh planet is based on your own abilities, but the eighth planet?
You need those tycoons from the fourth planet to get there and help the rest clear the 'stages' there with the season-end rewards they got on the way."
Another bounty hunter chuckled,
"Why do you think there is no tycoon on this planet?
All of them are either stuck on the previous planet or already on the eighth planet, waiting for the rest to get there so they can clear the stages."
The previous bounty hunter nodded,
"That's why there are only 2000 participants on the ninth planet.
Everybody gathers on the eighth planet to go up together with the least casualties.
Most participants who are aware of this matter are staying on this planet to farm points.
And those who don't know about the eighth planet will be forced to wait for more participants to reach there."
The first bounty hunter who spoke said in understanding,
"Then I'm sure when the tycoons saw the bounty hunters, they will try to reach a deal with them."
While the four bounty hunters were speaking,
A fifth person was listening under their table.
When they didn't have anything important to discuss anymore, the fifth person, who was naturally Little Mortal and came here to take them down personally, nodded.
Then he took out his infopad and sent a message.
[All units in city number 3, are you in position and ready to take action?
Yes/No]
The message was for the newborns active in city number 3, and everyone pressed 'yes'.
This planet only had 4 bounty hunters.
It seems not many participants in higher planets were interested in taking the risk of committing thievery and getting caught by those agents.
After years of interaction with the cyborgs and agents, they were 'wiser' and knew there wasn't a good ending for them if they did anything against the cyborgs and agents.
Little Mortal slowly unsheathed his sword and sent another message to his soldiers.
[All units, pay attention!
The cancel card will be activated with a 1-second delay after the separation card.
Be ready to take action!]
And two timers appeared on everyone's infopad.
[ 00:00:58 separation-card ]
[ 00:00:59 cancel-card ]
Less than one minute later.
When the timer of the separation card reached zero, there was a moment of confusion.
The confused ones were naturally the participants, who suddenly felt they had lost 'connection' with the citizens and newborns through the 'sadness' they inflicted on them.
One second later, there was a moment of panic.
The panicked ones were naturally the participants, again.
Because they suddenly saw all their equipment, newborns, weapons, and any other card that was active,
suddenly retrieved back to their infopad's inventory by itself!
And the second after that comes the moment of fear,
Because every participant in city number 3 saw themselves being besieged by a group of assassins in black suits, fully equipped with sunglasses.
How could they face them if even their equipment wasn't working?
The old man who brought Little Mortal to the building with the bounty hunters was now looking with interest at how his boss was going to take care of the four bounty hunters.
On their way here, he suddenly saw him disappear, and he didn't know where he was anymore.
He himself, while invisible, was outside the window of the bounty hunter's room, ready to take action.
But to his surprise, when the cancel card was activated, this group of people didn't lose their equipment.
The old man knew the reason was that their equipment consisted entirely of special cards!
And because the separation card was activated a second before the cancel card, they were already aware that something was wrong!
The first thing the bounty hunters tried to do was to pick up their helmets from the table and put them on.
The old man who saw this scene was going to send a message and tell his boss about the development here,
But he saw the table where these 4 bounty hunters were sitting suddenly shatter into pieces!
The next moment, a little boy was between the four of them, mid-air, while spinning!
Then there were 4 *BAM* sounds, which resulted in 4 dumbfounded heads hovering in the air without a body.
The old man gulped down.
He only saw the bodies of the bounty hunters, as if something had hit their chests, sent them flying towards the four walls of the room!
At the same time, their heads were still hovering in their original place, looking with a shocked face at the spinning little boy.
The little boy, who cut the heads of the bounty hunters in his first spin and kicked their unconnected bodies in the spins after that,
landed on the ground and sheathed his sword slowly.
The 4 heads, as if only now realizing there was no body under them to keep them there, fell to the ground shortly after.
Little Mortal looked at the old man who was going to enter the room from the window to support him, but now was frozen on the spot, and said,
"Is it possible to transfer cards with our infopad?"
The old man, hearing his voice, came back to his senses,
"Y-yes, but nobody tries it with special cards because -"
He was going to say, because if others find out, they might steal it, but Little Mortal interrupted him,
"I don't care why.
See which one of my 'wise advisors' is in the other cities, so I send them the cards.
I don't want to travel between cities.
You guys clear the other cities by yourselves."
The old man nodded and first explained to others that the Cancel card did not affect the special cards,
And then asked who wants to receive the two cards in each city.
Then he came back to Little Mortal, who was playing with a sun-card in his hand that he had just found among the bounty hunters, and said,
"Boss, everything is arranged.
You only need to give them access to your inventory."
Little Mortal nodded and accepted some 'inventory access requests' that he saw on his infopad.
Then he gave them access to his cards.
"Tell them to use whatever they want."
The old man nodded and left while sweating.
Seeing him playing with that sun-card that could incinerate everybody in this city was like torture!
...
2 hours passed.
Little Mortal, with a bunch of elderly and newborns, was strolling around the city while singing a song to himself, with a group of newborns following him.
"I walk where shadows never die,
Where screams become the lullaby,
Chains that rattle, skin that bleeds,
I’m the whisper behind your pleas.
Broken bones and shattered cries,
Fuel the fire that never dies,
I wear the pain like sharpened thorns,
In this endless night, I’m reborn.
No mercy here, no soft regret,
I’m the hand you’ll never forget,
In the dark, I carve my name,
A minion forged within the flame."
The city was now extremely quiet, unlike before.
The sound of the little boy singing was the only thing that echoed through the city at this moment.
Many of the newborns had experienced this planet before, and seeing it like this was unbelievable to them.
They wondered what this psychopath was going to turn it into?
Just hearing what he was singing was the promise of a dark future..
*Ding*
A couple of elders received a message.
It was the news from other cities, saying they were done cleaning up.
*Ding*
And Little Mortal received one too, but from the system.
He stopped singing and opened the message.
Because he was too short, everyone could basically peek into his infopad and see the message too...
[ - SYSTEM MESSAGE -
NOTICE: Due to the elimination of all +1.4 million registered participants, their points have been reset to zero.
In accordance with planet regulations, the event cannot be concluded without a valid winner.
Therefore, to finalize the event, the only unregistered participant must now accumulate 20 million points.
Until this condition is met, the game will remain active.
End of message. ]
The crowd gritted their teeth.
What they feared finally came...
It was now their Boss's turn to gain points using them.
Little Mortal, while rubbing his chin, said,
"Alright.
To reach the limit of sorrow points as fast as possible, we need to make people sad."
Then he pointed at a random girl in the crowd,
"You, lady, what is the most efficient way to make a group of people sad?"
The newborn girl, who was asked a question out of the blue, flinched,
"I-I don't know..."
Little Mortal was speechless.
He was going to ask someone else, but saw everyone looking away, trying not to make eye contact with him.
Lilith sighed,
"They are scared that you use it as a way to force 'sadness' on people.
So they naturally won't give you any idea that comes to their mind."
Little Mortal shook his head in disappointment,
"Alright, I'll tell you myself.
If it's a single person, the most efficient way is to let them see someone close to them go to the afterlife.
But if we are talking about a large number of people, like in our case,
The most efficient way is to let them watch their most beloved countryman go to the afterlife."
Then he pointed at another random newborn,
"Who is the most beloved citizen around here that we can send to the afterlife and farm sorrow points with?"
This time, nobody really knew the answer, so they just looked at each other to see if anyone did.
They just got here and didn't know the citizens or who was the most popular.
Little Mortal placed his hand on his forehead in frustration.
"Alright, if nobody knows, let's find out.
As you know, as a man of democracy, I always start a survey for everything important, and I respect the result.
So the one with the most votes will be the one going to the 'afterlife'."
Then he took out his infopad and started typing something on it.
The crowd was confused as to what he was going to do.
*Ding*
Not long after, a familiar 'Boss notification' sound came from everyone's infopad.
The newborns in every city immediately opened their infopad to see what new order their boss had.
What they saw was actually a survey.
[ Who is the most beloved person in your life?
1. Mortal, the strongest
2. One of the 100 wise advisors (write the name)
3. Someone else (write the name) ]
When the group of people around Little Mortal noticed that the part about the 'beloved person' needing to die was missing in the survey, they panicked!
Who would dare to vote for anyone else except him if they didn't know this 'beloved person' needs to die and go to the afterlife?
Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
In their panic, they started voting for themselves and messaging everyone not to vote for him!
"Boss, please cancel the survey!"
"We didn't have a chance to start a campaign!"
"Boss, I want to fight for the 'beloved' title, give me a chance!"
But it was too late.
Except for the newborns here, everybody else,
Young and old, women or men, without hesitation, chose 1. Mortal, the strongest.
Who would dare to say otherwise?
If he, the psychopath minion from the underworld, asked who the most beloved person in their life was,
They would choose him without hesitation every time.
All of them already knew some stories about this wanted criminal who even killed an agent outside before starting a chaos in the level 3 civilization's mainland,
and then ran here in the end, unscratched!
He even stole an invitation card from the Queen of Hell!
What else should he do to let everyone know he won't tolerate any opposition?
So, without needing anyone to tell them, everyone chooses one, except for about 20 people who were here with him.
Little Mortal, seeing the result, smiled.
But the smile was cold, so cold that everyone shivered!
"So, you guys want me dead, huh?!"
One of the old men was going to say That's a misunderstanding,
But only one glance from Little Mortal forced him to swallow his words.
"As I said, I respect your decision, even if the cost of it is... my own life..."
And sighed sadly.
The moment he sighed, his name registered in the ranking.
The crowd was speechless!
He actually became 'sad' and gained a 'sorrow point' just now?
Did they break his heart?
Little Mortal, after a brief moment of silence, said,
"So be it then.
Let's hold my funeral in a week or so!
Call over my wise elderly group, I need to talk to them about this matter, and how it needs to be arranged."
The crowd,
"!!???"
Can someone tell us how things escalated to this conclusion?
......
Fifth Planet - Day 20.
The atmosphere of the 5 cities was completely different now.
Seven days ago, the citizens suddenly saw millions of people, all in black suits and sunglasses, appearing in their cities with only one goal.
To spread 'happiness', bring joy, prosperity, and a bright future for them.
Their sad world suddenly turned upside-down.
Even the newborns from this planet were forced to help with these changes.
The elderly group forced them to do this so they could forget about what they experienced here.
While it wasn't enough, it was the first step.
Could this continue, or would they end up in the same 'hell' under the leadership of the underground psychopath?
That was unknown.
But newborns, by nature, liked to do 'good'.
Either way, everyone in the city knew the reason for all of this was a man called 'Wise Sage', and his pictures were everywhere on the city walls.
He was a small, 1-meter-tall old man with a long beard, completely bald, wearing a white robe.
One look, and you could tell he was a good man his whole life, from the start to this point.
Just what he did for them in these past few days made everyone grateful to him for their entire lives.
Everything gets better and better in these 7 days.
Until today.
The citizens suddenly received unexpected news.
[ The 'Wise Sage' predicts his departure.
He knows tomorrow is the last day of his life, and this is his message to you.
'Don’t be sad for me. Tomorrow, I take a path we all will walk one day.
But as my final promise, I guarantee that the happiness you feel today will stay with you for as long as you live!
This is my vow, as the strongest being ever existed!
And as my last wish,
I hope to see you all at my funeral, tomorrow, for one last time...' ]
If the messenger of this news wasn't the men and women in 'Black Suit', nobody would believe it.
They might even slap the messenger's face.
But it was them, the followers of the Wise Sage, who spread the news so they couldn't doubt it.
The 5 cities turned silent on this day.
The 7 days of 'happiness' were promised by the Wise Sage to continue for 'eternity'.
But the departure of the one who brought it was nothing short of a tragedy...
.....
Fifth Planet - Day 21.
Outside of City Number 3.
The venue for the funeral.
Close to 50 million citizens and newborns were gathered.
In the morning, the newborns, which were 30 million in total now with the new batch added,
Went to the cities and brought the citizens here.
The number of citizens was fewer than the newborns, so they only needed to pick one and fly to this place.
In front of the crowd, on a high platform, there was a coffin.
A corner of the coffin was slightly open, so a certain little Wise Sage could peek outside while checking his sorrow point on his infopad.
Today was the day of the funeral...
The day of the sage’s funeral was heavy with silence, broken only by the quiet sounds of people crying.
A sea of faces, some standing shoulder to shoulder, others kneeling with their heads bowed.
Many clutched pieces of cloth or their sleeves, wiping away tears that wouldn’t stop.
A group of elderly people went to the coffin, which closed slowly as a chuckle came from inside.
While speechless, they pick up the coffin.
When the crowd saw the coffin being carried by the elderly group, a wave of sorrow seemed to ripple through them.
Soft sobs grew louder, and some people covered their mouths, unable to hold back their grief.
The coffin was simple, yet dignified — just like the man they had come to honor.
As the procession moved forward, the crowd followed in solemn silence.
Flowers were scattered along the path, and their petals were crushed underfoot, but no one seemed to notice.
Some whispered his words, gentle reminders of the wisdom he had shared, as though speaking them would keep him close a little longer.
The Wise Sage inside the coffin, who never said any of those wise words, was dumbfounded!
When they reached the burial site, the coffin was lowered into the ground.
The moment it touched the earth, a hush fell — a silence deeper than before.
The crowd didn’t move or didn’t speak anymore.
Only tears continued to flow, but there was also a strange sense of peace, as if his final lesson was sinking in: that death was simply another step, not an end.
Even the newborns started crying like rivers.
Some for themselves, some for the cruel days they experienced on this planet,
and some because they felt this might be the day that this little psychopath may never come back, and go straight to the underworld from his grave, even if it was an unrealistic thought...
One by one, people began to drop handfuls of dirt or flowers into the grave.
Each soft thud was like a quiet goodbye. And as the grave was slowly filled, the crowd stood there — not just mourning, but remembering.
The little Wise Sage inside suddenly gasped in shock and muttered to himself,
"There are 50 million people outside,
And I told my soldiers to tell everyone to drop handfuls of dirt or flowers into my grave.
If I use my unlimited wisdom to calculate the time it takes...
If each citizen does it in 5 seconds, 50 million x 5 is equal to 250 million seconds,
and if I convert it to years, it takes close to 8 years for everyone to 'say goodbye' to me..."
Little Mortal's jaw dropped when he calculated the time using advanced mathematics!
Lilith chuckled,
"Partner, you are thinking too much.
Your funeral will be over soon."
And sure enough, after a *Ding* from Little Mortal's infopad, everyone outside turned to cards.
The sorrow point naturally reached the minimum 20 million points, and the planet's event ended.
So many people, each one generating half a point, were enough to get the minimum 20 million points needed.
Little Mortal kicked the coffin door open and jumped out.
Looking around, he didn't see anyone.
"Alright, I didn't waste any bullets on this planet.
Time to go and clear the next one from its sinners!"
[......
Fourth Planet (Hope) ?
Bullet used:
1 bullet used on silly chip
Fifth Planet (Sadness) ?
Bullet used:
0
999,999,990 bullets left ]
While writing down his bullet count, or in reality, writing down the name of the planet he just became its secret guardian,
The light pillar descended and took him away.
On their way to the sixth planet, as always, Lilith transferred the citizens to Planet Lubo,
And brought the new batch of newborns to receive their 'guardian territory citizenship'.
.....
Sixth planet - Day 21.
The light pillar disappeared, and Little Mortal found himself high up in the sky, falling down!
"O_O"
While surprised as to why he got off the elevator mid-air, he looked at the planet below.
From the sky, the planet appears mesmerizing yet ominous, radiating an aura of ancient power and untamed wildness.
From where Little Mortal was, he could see the vast continents of extreme biomes dominate the planet.
Molten rivers of glowing crimson carve through obsidian mountain ranges,
ethereal crystal forests stretch across twilight zones, and towering storm-clad peaks pierce the planet's thin clouds, crackling with arcane lightning.
Looking farther away, he could see the start of a deep blue and purple ocean near the poles, and a silver sheen near the equator.
As he fell and got closer to the ground, he took a look at the sky.
The planet's atmosphere was glowing faintly with a violet tint, and swirling clouds rippled with unnatural colors — green lightning storms, gold dust clouds, and occasional flashes of crimson meteors streaking downwards in different parts of the sky.
The planet's appearance was a balance of untamed natural beauty and an ever-present sense of lurking danger — a place that promises both glory and ruin.
Little Mortal nodded,
"Beautiful place."
Then he looked down,
"There is still time to reach the ground, so I can take a look at the system guide."
And opened his InfoPad while free-falling.
[ - SYSTEM GUIDE : WELCOME TO KYRETHRA -
Planet Designation: Kyrethra — The Planet of Bravery
Current Population: +900,000 Participants
Event Title:
Eclipsion: The Thousand-Year Trials
- Setting:
The event takes place on the vast and mysterious planet called Kyrethra.
- The Goal :
Survive, fight, and conquer for 500 years until the bravest soul stands at the pinnacle of Kyrethra.
The event begins with an 11-year 'Resonance Phase', and new participants from other ongoing events can arrive through elevators in this time period.
The planet slowly awakens, with its creatures, traps, and mystical forces growing in strength.
The brave use this time to test Kyrethra’s mysteries, while the cowardly may retreat before the real trials begin.
- Challenges and Duels:
After arrival, participants can issue direct challenges to each other.
A magical system ensures that once a challenge is accepted, both parties are transported to an Arena of Bravery.
The victor gains bravery points, and the loser will be sent to the waiting room.
- Planetary Trials:
Every century, the planet itself spawns a Legendary Trial, releasing ancient beasts, chaotic events, or time-limited quests that force participants to unite or betray one another.
Defeating these trials or clashing with any force on this planet gives participants 'Bravery Points'.
Reminder :
Bravery Points aren’t just about fighting — it’s about surviving harsh environments, making tough decisions, and protecting allies.
Endgame:
At the end of the millennium, the top 100 participants must face The Final Proving — a cataclysmic event where the planet itself tests their bravery by combining all its forces, creatures, and natural disasters into one chaotic battleground.
Those who survive can advance to the next planet.
Season End Reward: Lantern-card ]
While still falling, Little Mortal rubbed his chin and muttered to himself,
"The system guide says,
The goal is to survive, fight, and conquer for 500 years until the bravest soul stands at the pinnacle of Kyrethra.
So, do I need to waste 500 years for that when there is no braver soul than mine?"
Then he checked his 'Challenge-card', the rank 1 reward from the previous season, to see if he could figure out how to use it in this season.
There was extra information added to it now.
[ Challenge-card and Rank 1 Privilege :
Unlimited forced Single Challenges:
The holder can issue an infinite number of random challenges (limited to 1 challenge per hour) by using it to challenge one participant at a time.
Your challenge can not be rejected.
Cautious Rule:
The card will expire immediately if used to challenge more than one participant at once. ]
Little Mortal nodded, took out his 'Separation-card', separated the two evolution cards from it, and merged them with his handgun again, evolving it into the mini-gun with tracking bullets.
Then he went to his InfoPad and activated the 'Challenge-card'.
Not long after, before he even reached the ground, a pillar of light descended again and took him away.
Though,
this pillar of light wasn't the only one this time.
All over the planet, the light pillars descended, taking away everybody.
Their destination?
Arena of Bravery!
....
Kyrethra — The Planet of Bravery.
Arena of Bravery.
A pillar of light disappeared, leaving a participant behind.
He was now inside a glass container with a blurry surface that didn't allow him to see or feel what was outside.
The Arena of Bravery always worked in this way.
You would receive a challenge message, and if you accepted it,
Then the light pillar would descend to bring you here and face the one who challenged you.
After 10 minutes, which was the time for both sides to get ready, the glass container would disappear, so the two could start the battle.
The arena itself was big, though.
The participants on the sixth planet were all at level 6, and naturally, a large and enhanced area for them to fight was needed.
Even if their law wasn't their original law from outside, the random ability they received at the first planet was now a lot stronger.
The only things this participant, who had just arrived, didn't understand were how he was forced to come here and why the challenger's name wasn't registered in the ranking.
In the system message, his name was [ unregistered ], which means he or she didn't have any bravery points yet.
While confused, he activated his equipment cards and got ready to fight.
In the challenge, you knew there weren't any friends.
Even if the sixth planet was big, it was still the beginning of the season,
So the danger in the environment was minimized because the planet wasn't 'awakened' yet.
If anyone was thinking about 'talking' to you, they could just ask you outside to meet somewhere specific before the start of the season.
Which means whoever forced him to this challenge was here to kill him.
Time passed.
The 10 minutes finished, and the glass barrier disappeared.
The man who was ready to attack gasped at the first thing he saw.
There was actually someone beside him.
In the challenges, the two sides were always on opposite sides of the arena, far away from each other.
So, how could someone be so close to him?
The man took a quick glance around and noticed that the participant close to him wasn't the only one nearby; there were actually more.
A lot more.
So many that he didn't have the time to count because a sound brought everyone, who was as confused as he, back to their senses.
*BRRRRRRRRRRRT*
And after that...
Well, there wasn't anything after that for him, because he was dead.
....
"HAHAHAHA, DIE YOU SINNERS! DIE!"
This was what most participants heard before dying in the arena.
And the last thing they saw was a little person in green combat armor, wearing a distinctive helmet with a dark visor that concealed his face entirely.
He was standing in the middle of the now blood-soaked arena, with a mini-gun in hand, that was roaring and spitting a blur of metal and fury at them.
And as if the storm of bullets wasn't enough, each bullet, after hitting the first target, would turn into 338 more bullets, targeting the same body part of another 338 participants the first bullet hit.
And as if the storm of bullets and 338 extra targets wasn't enough, the bullets could even lock on their target and change direction slightly.
And as if the storm of a bullet, 338 extra targets, and 'smart-bullet' still wasn't enough, their card, if it wasn't a special card, was 'canceled' too.
They couldn't even use their newborns as a meat shield.
And as if even all of this wasn't enough, the bullets keep changing to different elements.
Fire, ice, lightning...
The only participants who could defend themselves for more than 5 seconds were the bounty hunters.
But even the bounty hunters, of which only two of them were here, didn't have a chance, because they were the first target of this 'Little killing machine', who laughed and roared while shooting at everything and everyone.
The mystery of who killed them, why he killed them, and how he challenged them all at once would be solved when they returned to the waiting room and met with his other victims.
But for now, they could only die.
*phew*
After the last target was killed, the little person, who was naturally Little Mortal, took off his helmet and said.
"This was without a doubt my best run."
He used the Challenge-card's one-time mode, and he challenged more than one participant even though it would expire.
And that 'more' he challenged was 'everybody'.
Then cleaned up the arena of bravery with his 2x evolved handgun, to show how brave he is.
Now, around him was filled with corpses, all missing different body parts.
Each 338 group of corpses close to each other, though, missed the same body parts.
Lilith chuckled,
"That will be a short nightmare for them that hunts them in their dreams for a while."
The Crystal vibrated, saying,
< A couple of participants were missing; they were probably already challenged by others and sent back to the waiting room before we got here.
We should go for a clean-up in there, too. >
Little Mortal didn't react and brought out the InfoPad to check his system message.
[ - System Message -
The special event, Last Man Standing, has been triggered.
You claimed absolute victory in this event by eliminating all remaining participants.
The path forward is yours — you are now granted access to the next planet and waiting room.]
"Alright, let me write down how many bullets I wasted on these sinners...."
[....
Fifth planet ( sadness) ?
Bullets used:
0
Sixth planet ( bravery ) ?
Bullets used:
99990
999,900,000 bullets left ]
"This thing's fire rate is no joke!
And what's this season's reward?
Lantern-card?
Its description says It helps me to be alone for once, and feel the real loneliness..."
Little Mortal snorted,
"Just say the next planet's theme is 'loneliness', why are you pretending to be mysterious, you silly system?"
Shaking his head, he checked the rank 1 participants and saw there were none, just like on the previous planet.
It seems the new ones were all stuck on the fourth planet, as the bounty hunters said, and the older ones were on higher planets.
Little Mortal shrugged,
"Whatever, I will meet them later."
And he added the new sun-card he found to the other 2 he already had.
3 sun-cards weren't a joke if he evolved them.
After that, he chose to leave the planet and go to the next one.
On the way, Lilith transported the citizens and managed the new batch of newborns' citizenship.
There were actually more than 20 million newborns here because of the 'bravery theme' and all of the big battles that were supposed to take place for a long period of time on this planet that needed a lot of manpower.
And thus, Little Mortal's strongest army jumped to 50 million newborns, he became another planet's secret guardian, and another group of participants didn't find the opportunity to use their abilities as he promised.
.....
Seventh planet - Day 21.
Before the light pillar disappears, Little Mortal receives a system message.
[ - SYSTEM MESSAGE -
- Flying is disabled.
- Spiritual sense is disabled.
- InfoPad will be disabled soon.
- Voice communication has consequences.
- There is no privilege for rank 1 from the previous planet.
- Endure 1000 years of loneliness, or be truly lonely.
The choice is yours.
- Season end reward: unknown
- Final words:
Your silence is crucial. ]
And then, his InfoPad turned off by itself after throwing the lantern card out.
It was like the system itself didn't want to waste its time on this planet because it was boring.
No planet name, no number of participants, no story, no nothing...
Surprised, Little Mortal checked his storage card, and saw everything important was still inside, but it was 'off' too.
"-_-"
