Life Dungeon Game

This card also shimmered with a faint purple glow.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and continued looking at the next card.

This card doesn't have a complicated background.

The overall color scheme of the design is dark, and the background appears to be in a completely sealed, dilapidated building.

Most of the designs are portraits of a single person.

However, the shape of this 'figure' is a bit strange.

His lower body had completely transformed into twisted tentacles, with tentacles attached to the ground extending from inside the frame outwards.

His upper body still retained a human form, but his head was drooping, and his entire chest had been pierced by some terrifying external force, leaving only a huge hole.

Even through the pattern, He Ao could feel the twisted, insane aura emanating from the card, and the familiar whispers echoing in his ears.

His gaze shifted downwards to the annotations on the card.

[Those who overstep their bounds]

The word "usurpation" is very interesting. In the system of rites, usurpation refers to a person of lower status using ritual objects that they should not use, or performing rituals that are of higher status than themselves.

By extension, this term implies that, in a sense, those below want to attain positions above them.

He Ao naturally only knew who the person in the picture was, but he didn't quite understand why the system had labeled this person as a "those who overstep their bounds".

The two cards in front.

The first picture is of Joey.

The meaning of "The First Flame" should be that Joey was the first 'K'.

Starting with Joey, Heo spread the name of 'K'.

K has now acquired a certain mystical significance, so this [Primordial Fire] should be a form...

Rong Qiaoyi is the 'first'.

The second card is Vian.

This card is the easiest to understand. "King of the Night" refers to Vian's status in Kaya City. He is the uncrowned king of Kaya City, the actual controller of the entire city, and his every move can affect the fate of countless people in the city.

The third card is Nell.

Based on the first two cards, the "Usurper" label on this card should be some special property that Nell possesses, and it is highly likely that Heo acquired this property after entering the game.

【The Primal Flame】is said to be Joey, but is actually Hoo, who is using the identity 'K' for the first time.

Although Vian possessed certain characteristics of the "King of the Night" before Heo's arrival, he did not have the authority of a true king at that time. It was Heo who swept away the board of directors and completed the final consolidation of power.

And what about Nell? He couldn't recall 'Nell' or his own connection to 'usurpation'.

Usurpation is a matter of the lower class seeking to rise, while Nell's goal is more straightforward: to directly destroy the mining conglomerate that oppresses him.

If it's a 'presumption' in the context of complete destruction, then it's understandable.

However, He Ao felt that the 'usurpation' specifically marked by the system was not that simple.

Because, strictly speaking, 'Joey,' who destroyed the Anvis Electric Group, also had this kind of usurpation.

He Ao carefully examined the four characters: "those who overstep their bounds."

If this transgression is not a transgression of status, but rather an extension, it is an extension from status to position.

It is a usurpation of a person's status.

He recalled Nell's physical condition when he completed his mission. At that time, Nell had been completely corrupted by the God of War, and his entire body was twisting into a monster. The God of War seemed to want to resurrect him in some way on this body.

The design on this card also proves this point.

However, with the attack of the God of Knowledge, at the last moment before Heo left, the power of the God of War was resisted by the power of the God of Knowledge.

But the God of War is actually dead. Is it possible that at this time, Nell's body has already possessed a certain status that only gods have?

Therefore, the system labels Nell as "the usurper," referring to someone who usurps the divine.

However, the God of War is too high a level to be handled by He Ao. The card "Usurper" is also dim, meaning it is untouchable.

The system gave me a chance to exchange for character cards, which should be the three cards in front of me.

So what is the purpose of this character card?

He looked around but found no explanations or annotations.

It seems like I'll have to explore on my own again. The system calls itself a game, but it still looks rather rudimentary.

He Ao's gaze returned to the card in front of him.

Of the three cards, [The Usurper] might not be available for exchange due to its high rank or other reasons. Therefore, He Ao's only choices are [Primordial Fire] and [King of the Night].

If the character card's abilities are as he imagined, then the best choice at present is obvious.

He's attention was focused on the card "King of the Night".

You have one free basic redemption opportunity. Are you sure you want to redeem 'King of the Night'?

He Ao chose to confirm.

In that instant, he felt his brain vibrate, and all his memories related to security flashed back in perfect detail.

Immediately afterwards, the card [Primordial Flame] in his field of vision dimmed rapidly, while only [King of the Night] still shimmered with a faint glow.

He focused his attention on the card, and soon a small notification popped up.

Please use character cards in the game.

He Ao turned his gaze away from the card.

There was something he didn't quite understand: he had gone through eight dungeons, including the beginner dungeon, so why were only these three characters able to form character cards?

Is there anything special about them?

After thinking for a moment without reaching a conclusion, He Ao could only temporarily set aside his doubts and look around.

Now his entire field of vision is filled with a dense background of cards.

With a thought, the backgrounds of the cards slowly disappeared, leaving only three cards floating in front of him.

Then the three cards slowly disappeared, and a faint card icon appeared next to the personal attribute icon in the upper left corner of He Ao's vision.

He Ao can also open this character card interface just like he opens his personal attributes.

······

After He Ao had roughly studied the new functions of the system, the countdown in his field of vision began to gradually reach zero.

Welcome to the Life Dungeon Game!

[You are being randomly matched into a life role.]

[Matching successful]

Your role is: Pete, the Unemployment Supervisor

I'm having some writer's block.

Chapter 425 The Eighth Official Dungeon (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

[Age 0: You were born, and your parents named you Pete]

[1 year old: You were born in Limen City, a small city in the eastern part of the Federation, very close to the Federation capital, Ains City.]

[Age 2: You live in a working-class family. You don't have your own house and rent from others. Your father is a silent construction worker who often strokes your cheek with his rough hands.]

[Age 3: Your mother is a supermarket saleswoman. She often brings back many discounted items from the supermarket.]

As a supermarket saleswoman, she could always find the cheapest and best products. Because of your mother's job, you never lacked toys during your childhood.

Although most of these toys are not intelligent and are very simple and inexpensive, you like them.

[4 years old: Mother was pregnant and miscarried.]

Mother's health has been poor ever since she gave birth to you. Father often laments when he's alone that he shouldn't have gone to that private clinic, but he can't afford the bills at a regular hospital.

[Age 5: You should be old enough to go to kindergarten, but your parents can't afford the tuition, so you stay home and play by yourself. You've met some neighborhood kids whose families are similar to yours, and you've had a lot of fun playing together.]

[Age 6: You started attending a nearby public elementary school. The tuition wasn't high, but there was a weekly fee of seventy federal dollars for living expenses and classroom equipment. You didn't know that the desks, chairs, and even the e-reader screens on the desks were all chargeable, but your father warned you not to break any of the equipment.]

[Age 7: School life is very easy. You start school at nine in the morning and finish at three in the afternoon. The teachers don't discipline you unless you run around in the classroom during class.]

In spring and autumn, photographers come to the school to take pictures of you, and only at these times will the teachers be especially gentle.

Later you find out that these photo services are all paid services, costing 75 federal dollars per photo.

[Age 8: Your grades are not good. Although everyone's grades are bad, yours seem to be even worse. In the spring semester final evaluation, you got a D for the first time. During the holiday, the teacher talked to your mother alone. After your mother went home, she locked herself in the house for a long time.]

You're feeling terrible and want to comfort her, but you don't know how, or even what it means.

[Age 9: The neighbors all have two or three children, but you're all alone. Ever since you got a D, your mother has started tutoring you every night, and you've had much less playtime.]

[Age 10: Your grades are gradually improving, but your former friends have distanced themselves from you. They think you're deceiving them, and while they're playing, you're secretly studying alone.]

[11 years old: As the start of the school year approaches, the teacher opened a separate after-school tutoring class and said that interested students could participate. However, the tutoring class is not cheap. You know that our family is not well-off and my mother has always been in poor health. Every year, we have to spend a lot of money on medicine.]

Your grades are gradually being surpassed by other students.

Exceed.

Your mother somehow found out about this, and she scraped together the money to enroll you in tutoring classes.

[Age 12: Because of your excellent grades, you passed the exam for the most famous private middle school in the vicinity and received a scholarship. It was then that you realized that people are different from one another.]

Students are often driven to school by their parents, while you have to take a bumpy bus ride that lasts for more than an hour.

Many of your classmates wear advanced smart bracelets; they chat about the latest movies, the most famous plays, literature and authors, and celebrity gossip, while you, in all your life, have never even been to a movie theater.

[Age 13: Because you don't have much in common with your classmates, you don't have many friends in your class. You used to be one of the best students in elementary school, but now that you're here, you find that everyone around you seems to be just like you.]

When you are struggling with a difficult problem, your classmate tells you a clever solution that you have never thought of before. This solution was told to you by his tutor when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school.

Middle school teachers are very confident. They explain each knowledge point in detail and with substance, which is very different from the teachers in your elementary school who just read from the book and let you learn on your own.
