Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Li Qianyi didn't expect to encounter a popular character from the novel so soon.

Amun, the son of the ancient sun god and the former king of angels.

"Is this an Easter egg in the game, or is it really Amon?"

Li Qianyi looked at the three options in the game.

"The first option is to know, which is tantamount to deception."

"But this guy Amon was once the true god of Sequence 0, Mr. Error."

"The greatest conman of the past, deceiving him is no different from wielding a great sword in front of Guan Yu, so he cannot be selected."

"As for admitting that he is his father, that option is probably a trap as well."

Amon may seem carefree, but the era when the ancient sun god still existed is a past he cherishes but can never return to.

It was the place where the shallow humanity of this former King of Angels first sprouted.

Bringing up matters related to his father in front of him is no different from provoking his sore spot.

Li Qianyi chose to tell the truth.

You don't know who this crow is, but such a strange creature must be extraordinary. It's best not to provoke it. Sincerity is the best way to express your goodwill.

You honestly tell the crow that you don't know where the crow's father is.

You see the crow tilt its head, you hear it praise you as an honest child, and it wants to give you a gift.

You casually accepted the monocle that the crow offered you.

[Place it on your eye socket, then smile slightly.]

【you are dead】

"Are you toxic...?"

Li Qianyi was dumbfounded. Where was the logic? Where was the reasoning? What kind of garbage game was this?

Even if I tell the truth, I'll get eaten?

As an angel of redemption, where is your instinct for redemption?

Li Qianyi hurriedly pressed the pocket watch to reverse time.

The options reappear.

"Although I don't know what's wrong with Amon, at least the option of telling the truth has been ruled out."

Li Qianyi's lips twitched. He knew this game was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult.

He looked at the game options and this time chose to deceive the other party.

Because rather than becoming his father, showing off some rudimentary fraud techniques might please this former god of fraud and get him to let him off the hook.

This crow seems kind, but it's actually full of evil intentions and is quite despicable. Are you planning to give it a taste of its own medicine?

So you tell him that you saw his father in the jungle on the right, a place with a smell of decay and decay, where powerful monsters might be lurking. For you, the best outcome is for the crow and the monsters to fight to the death.

However, your clumsy and ridiculous lie seemed unable to fool this strange and peculiar crow; you only heard a low chuckle.

You uncontrollably accepted the monocle offered by the crow.

[Place it on your eye socket, then smile slightly.]

【you are dead】

Damn it.

Li Qianyi pressed the pocket watch hard, and time flowed backward.

After dying twice in succession, Li Qianyi was left with only one last option: to claim to be the other party's father.

However, this choice is logically the most unreasonable and most likely to provoke Amon's resentment.

"I don't necessarily want to fawn over Amon, but it would be unwise to oppose Amon unless absolutely necessary."

"So, the game presents a completely dead-end option?"

Normally not, but this game involves extraordinary forces, and it's suspected that it was orchestrated by three pillars of Lord of Mysteries.

It's not impossible for them to break the mold.

"Give it a try."

Just as tadpoles searched for their mothers in ancient times, so too does a baby crow search for its father. It's hard not to feel a pang of pity for a homeless child.

So you bravely stepped forward, yelled at the top of your lungs, and shouted, "I'm your father!"

"Holy crap, what kind of father are you..."

When Li Qianyi saw the text that appeared in the game, he was completely dumbfounded.

He had thought the two would have a touching father-son relationship, but he never expected his character to be so tough.

"It's all over, it's all over..."

Any normal person would be angered by such insults, let alone an archangel.

Li Qianyi dared not be distracted, gripping his pocket watch and staring intently at his phone screen, ready to rewind at any moment.

[You are weak, but bold; you dared to hurl insults at an unknown being whose power level is unknown. Once you calmed down and realized what you had said, your diminished intelligence seemed to return. Your face turned deathly pale, your legs trembled, and just when you thought you were doomed...]

You heard the crow's wicked cawing, and a faint glint appeared on the monocle.

[How interesting! You hear the crow cawing so strangely, as if you've just pulled off a prank you wanted to play.]

His father was a great being who was almost omniscient and omnipotent, so naturally he couldn't be a weak and pitiful fellow like you.

But your words seem to have achieved some purpose for him. Since you made him feel happy, the crow let you go and flew away.

That works too.

Li Qianyi was speechless.

The game text continued to appear.

As you slowly approach, you notice two new things on the boulder.

[Did you pick it up?]

Li Qianyi's heart stirred, and he chose to pick it up.

You have obtained one "Singing Black Mushroom".

[You have obtained the dungeon pass "Elegy for Sunset Glow" *1]

Li Qianyi clicked on the entry.

【The Singing Black Mushroom: As the name suggests, this is a singing black mushroom. It will involuntarily sing out the deepest emotions of its holder, expressing the most profound feelings. It seems that mixing it with certain other substances and consuming it can grant extraordinary abilities.】

"This is... the main ingredient for the potion recipe of Sequence Nine [Mystic] of the [Hanged Man] pathway. Amon actually gave me this."

A thought struck Li Qianyi, and suddenly a black mushroom appeared in his hand.

The next moment, he heard the black mushrooms begin to sing.

We are all living life to the fullest.

The singing was incredibly lifelike and exceptionally beautiful.

You sang very well, but don't sing it again next time.

Li Qianyi quickly put it back into his backpack, and then opened the dungeon pass again.

A Lament for the Setting Sun

[Item Type: Dungeon Pass]

[Instance Level: Not Recorded]

[Use this to enter the special story dungeon 'Elegy of the Setting Sun'. Clearing the dungeon will reward you with abundant rewards.]

[Dungeon drops: various potions and potion recipes, sealed artifacts, 'Old World Ruins', 'Old World Remains', Knowledge Charms, Thunder Charms, Spirit Control Bullets...]

"Dungeon pass?"

Li Qianyi could understand magic potions and spells, but what were "Old World Remains" and "Old World Relics"?

There seem to be quite a few modifications to the game.

Just as Li Qianyi was about to use the 'Dungeon Pass Card' to check the depth, he found that the game had already sent a notification.

The road ahead is open to you, but you, lost soul, have exhausted your energy for today's exploration; you feel utterly weary.

Adequate rest is crucial for your exploration of Paradise Lost. If you do not wish to return to the embrace of Eternal Darkness, please wait until your exploration power recovers tomorrow before continuing your exploration.

[Current Exploration Power: 0/7 — Exploration Power is the energy that Lost Ones must consume to walk in the Lost Paradise. Each branch choice will consume one point of Exploration Power. One point of Exploration Power can be exchanged for 1 point of Health or 1 point of Sanity]

[Redeem or not?]

"no."

He only has 15 points of sanity and 14 points of health; how could he possibly afford to squander them like that?

It was only at this moment that Li Qianyi finally realized the value of that Omibella umbilical cord.

"If you choose Omibella's umbilical cord, you can get an extra 5 exploration points and a higher health bonus every day."

"But if I had made that choice, I would probably be a mother by now."

Li Qianyi shook his head, and then he realized something.

"Am I the only one playing this game? Or are there other players who have also obtained similar amazing items?"

Previously, Li Qianyi was somewhat caught up in the extraordinary power and hadn't had the mind to think about it in depth.

Now that he's calmed down, he finally realizes the unusual nature of the situation.

"Such a big thing can't possibly go unnoticed online..."

Li Qianyi opened a webpage and searched for the text-based game "Lord of Mysteries".

However, the result exceeded his expectations.

"No." Li Qianyi stared at the empty webpage.

Not to mention the download link for this word game, all information related to Lord of Mysteries and Ring of Destiny has been lost online.

Li Qianyi then entered the character names Alger, Klein, etc., but the results were all ambiguous.

The creator of the mysterious octopus game, who loves diving, has disappeared directly from the Chinese website of the game.

Li Qianyi took out his phone and silently dialed his roommate Wang Kun's number.

"Hey, Yi Zi, what's up?"

"Kunzi," Li Qianyi said after a moment of silence, "Do you know Klein Moretti?"

"Who is Klein Moretti? Is he the new male protagonist of an anime? Or the male protagonist of a novel, probably from a Western fantasy?"

Li Qianyi gasped, then asked:

"What about Lumian, Audrey, and Amon?"

"Who are they?" Wang Kun replied on the phone, "Didn't I tell you before that I don't read Western fantasy? You don't need to recommend them to me."

"Oh, right, I'm not coming back tonight. If the dorm supervisor comes to check, could you cover for me? Thanks, bro."

Wang Kun seemed to be in a hurry and hung up the phone hastily.

Li Qianyi put down his phone and tapped his fingers on the table.

"Wang Kun didn't like Lord of Mysteries at first, but after the anime adaptation aired, he became obsessed with the novel."

"They would discuss the plot of the mystery and the constellation with me from time to time."

The two had a good relationship, and Li Qianyi believed that the other party would not play pranks on such matters.

"Besides, if Wang Kun really wanted to mess with me, he couldn't possibly get the entire internet to cooperate with him."

After all, the world doesn't revolve around one person.

"Is it possible that I've transmigrated to a world that's neither entirely the same nor the world of the novels Lord of Mysteries and Ring of Destiny...?"
