Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 1 Fun People Path
Looking at the crimson moon outside the window, Rowling spent three minutes receiving information and confirming a few things.

First, he traveled through time and space to the world of "Lord of Mysteries". Now he is called Rollin Zoroast and is suspected to be a descendant of the old man Pales in the original work.

Second, the fragments of power in his body belonging to the legendary Thousand-Faced God Nyarlathotep were cut and transformed by Yog-Sothoth, whom he summoned. Using the special rules of the Lord of Mysteries' world, they were transformed into something similar to Beyonder characteristics, creating a new path to God called the Path of Chaos.

Although Rowling didn't know why that being wanted to help him, the fact was that Rowling only needed to mix these Beyonder characteristics into potions according to the rules and consume them, and then perform, digest, and advance normally from Sequence 9 like the humans in this world, and he would be able to completely master the power of Nyarlathotep and turn it into his own power.

Third, Luo Lin's innate "Shadow of Time" skill can still be used. This is a skill related to time, similar to the historical projection of ancient scholars in the world of the Lord of Mysteries. There are two ways to use it. One is that Luo Lin has a high degree of favorability with the existence, so he can summon the other party's "Shadow of Time" to merge with himself, thereby borrowing the other party's power. The higher the favorability, the more power can be borrowed.

The second is to directly use the existence related to the other party, or the other party himself as a medium, to summon the other party's "Shadow of Time" and seek help from the other party.

At first glance, the second method seems to be simpler than the first method, but there is actually a very tricky thing here. The shadow of time summoned by the second method will really project the summoner's past consciousness into the shadow of time he has pulled.

For this reason, the Shadow of Time pulled out by the second method will not necessarily help Luo Lin. It would be okay with a favorability bonus, but without a favorability bonus, although the Shadow of Time cannot harm him as the summoner, it may not be willing to work for him.

It can be said to be a very powerful yet very disappointing ability.

In the past, Rowling worked hard to gain the boss's favorability in order to pull out the Shadow of Time. Now that the world has changed, it can be said that all the previous favorability gains were in vain.

"Forget it. It's good enough that my skills can still be used in another world. What's the big deal?" Luo Lin consoled himself, but he felt a little confused. "But why did I travel through time? Could it be that Yug sent me here..."

To be honest, Rowling was not actually familiar with the being named Yog-Sothoth. He only knew about him from ancient books. He knew that he was the only Outer God who had no malice towards humans and might even have good intentions, and that he seemed to have a bad relationship with Nyarlathotep.

So in their world they encountered Nyarlathotep, the incarnation of the God of Fun. When all resistance failed and the world was on the verge of destruction, Rowling, with the attitude of trying everything possible and dying together, used the connection between Nyarlathotep and Yog-Sothoth to summon the god's Shadow of Time.

Then, with the appearance of billions of glows, Rowling almost lost consciousness, but he also saw the demise of Nyarlathotep's clone, and saw that the time in his hometown seemed to reverse, and everything returned to the time before it was destroyed.

Finally, Rowling saw Yug looking at him. To be honest, it was hard to say whether the indescribable god, like glow and bubble, had eyes, but at that moment, Rowling felt that the other party was looking at him.

Seems curious, surprised, and like a sigh.

The other party seemed to say something to him, but Luo Lin didn't hear it clearly.

Luo Lin then lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he was in another world, the power of the destroyed Nyarlathotep's clone sealed within him. "So what does this master mean? Does he know me?" Luo Lin was truly confused at this moment, but he couldn't recall when he had ever been associated with such a master. After much thought, he could only attribute it to the master's liking for him.

Anyway, Luo Lin felt that the other party should not have the intention to harm him, otherwise he would have been dead.

Luo Lin suppressed his doubts, sighed, and muttered to himself, "I don't know what's going on in my hometown, but at least based on the situation before I traveled through time, it should be fine..."

"Anyway, I've tried my best. If the world is still destroyed, there's nothing I can do." Rowling smiled bitterly. He was not a good person in the conventional sense, but no matter what, he still had some feelings for his hometown and naturally did not want his world to be destroyed.

"Forget it. No matter what, I should take care of myself first. This world is not peaceful either." Luo Lin shook his head. Thinking of the situation in the world of the Lord of Mysteries, he felt like complaining for a moment.

He had just solved the problems in his hometown, and now he came to a world that was about to face doomsday. What's the difference between this and wasting a version in vain?
"The only thing to be thankful for is that I'm finally not the savior of this world. Honestly, who would have thought that I, a fun-loving person, would be the one to finally stand up and save the world? Is that appropriate?"

Luo Lin complained, but couldn't help but smile: "That's good, this way I can be a pure fun person."

After laughing foolishly for two seconds, Rowling began to plan his next goals.

The first thing he had to do was naturally to find a way to advance to Sequence 9, embark on the path to extraordinaryness, and use the power of Nyarlathotep in his body as soon as possible, lest this time bomb explode one day.

The second thing is to get to know more big guys and increase their favorability so that you can get combat power for free.

Finally, of course, it is natural to find as much fun as possible for yourself in the process.

"Well, let me see, Sequence 9 of the Chaos Path is... the Fun Man?" Rowling was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about Nyarlathotep's character, he understood it for a moment, and then looked at the other information about the Chaos Path left to him by Yog-Sothoth.

"The main ingredients for the Leziren potion can be directly made with the pre-cut properties. Let me check the auxiliary materials. In addition to common spiritual materials, any high-sequence item related to the Gou San Family or Quan Wu Family is also required..." Luo Lin raised an eyebrow at this and pinched his chin to think.
"It would be best if it were a Spirit Bug, a Time Bug, or a Star Bug...hiss, this is a bit difficult."

Luo Lin then searched the memory of his current identity and confirmed that the current timeline should be when the plot of Lord of Mysteries just began. If nothing unexpected happened, Mr. Fool should be surprised by his imaginative self in the mirror.
