Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate

Inner Ring World, Padilla Kingdom, inside a luxurious villa.

A crescent moon slanted the moonlight on a white-haired old man.

The old man's face was pale and distorted. He was clearly asleep, but his whole body was twisting and struggling.

…

"Brother, save me!"

"Boss, don't abandon us."

"Jin Zai, everyone depends on you!"

In the dream, Lu Shen completely lost his old age in reality and transformed into a green young man again.

In front of him, countless familiar faces were begging.

Among them, there is his own sister.

He has a girlfriend who is his childhood sweetheart, and a brother whom he has known since childhood and whom he has always loved.

But for some reason, everyone is now looking at him eagerly.

…

"Where is this?"

"Why am I here?"

Lu Zhen looked around in confusion. This seemed to be a city that had been devastated by war.

The air was filled with the smell of smoke and blood.

For some reason, Lu Shen always felt that this place was very familiar, but when he thought about it carefully, it felt very strange.

…

"Run, run quickly."

"The man-eating monster is coming!"

Just when Lu Shen was confused, his good brother pointed in one direction in horror.

Lu Shen looked around and saw a monster with a split head and blood-red serrated teeth rushing towards them.

The moment he saw the monster, Lu Shen felt a huge panic in his heart.

This kind of panic seemed to have eroded him countless times. The steps Lu Shen originally planned to take immediately froze in place.

…

"Brother, run quickly!"

"Brother, run!"

"Jin Zai, run away!"

After discovering that Lu Shen was "alone", all the relatives and friends who had fled immediately rushed back and bravely stood in front of the monster.

However, what awaited them was to be completely torn apart by the saw teeth.

Flesh and blood splashed onto Lu Shen's body, rendering his whole body and even his vision red.

However, the fear was so deep into his bones that even though Lu Shen was struggling in his heart, his body was still unable to move.

…

Hate, he hates it so much!

Lu Shen hated this monster city that had become a purgatory, and even more hated the monster's ferocity and his own cowardice.

Everyone should obviously be protected by themselves, but now everyone is dying to protect themselves.

Lu Shihao was unwilling to give in. He wanted to completely change everything.

However, the next moment, the bloody monster rushed directly in front of him and completely tore him into pieces.

…

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The old Lu Shen suddenly woke up from the luxurious bed. At this time, his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

Everything in the dream was so real that it even made him feel like his whole body was being torn apart.

After a full 15 minutes, Lu Shen's body and mind finally calmed down.

This shows how miserable his current body is.

…

"I'm having a nightmare again!"

"I dreamed about Angsa City again, and I dreamed that everyone was killed by monsters."

"Fake, everything is fake."

"No, everyone will be fine!"

"I didn't run away, I didn't escape, I didn't want to leave everyone behind."

"I just suddenly returned to my world. Angsa City, I will definitely go back."

"Little sister, Qingqing, everyone must wait for me!"

"I will definitely save you from that purgatory."

…

Lu Shen, who was completely free from nightmares, began to mutter to himself.

His expression became dazed and struggling again, as if he had fallen into a new nightmare.

However, Lu Shen was sober at this time, sober as never before.

Because he knew that what he was recalling now was not a dream at all, but his personal experience.

…

57 years ago, Lu Shen was just a street cartoonist who had just entered the industry.

Today, he has become the world-famous Teacher Lu, and has created "The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul", a phenomenal comic that is enough to become a god.

57 years ago, Lu Shen lived in a small rented house and lived by grabbing the crumbs of steamed buns from rats every day.

Now, his wealth is comparable to that of some small countries.

Money, beauty, fame, everything I once fantasized about, I already have.

However, his happiness was gone, and there was an irreparable lack in his soul.

…

"I remember it very clearly. It was an afternoon when even the setting sun made me feel desperate."

"I met a bunch of weird people who asked me if I wanted to sell my soul."

"With no other choice, I was tricked into signing a contract, and then I appeared in a laboratory."

"Those guys integrated a withered branch into my brain."

"Then my brain turned into an endless dark forest."

"At that time, I didn't realize that the forest was transformed by my brain."

"I kept walking in the dead jungle, and finally walked out of the darkness and discovered the city of Angsa."

…

Lu Shen once again recalled the past, which he would do every time he experienced a nightmare.

It's as if this memory itself has turned into "salvation."

Otherwise, it would be impossible to dispel the fear in his heart.

…

"The moment I entered Angsa City, my life completely changed."

"I actually experienced reincarnation and became the son of a small businessman in Angsa City."

"That was the happiest moment in my life. Family, friendship, love, everything was made up for."

"However, fate is always so cruel!"

"A sudden plague destroyed everything, and all humans in Angsa City began to mutate."

"But what's incredible is that, faced with such changes, I secretly rejoiced, as if I had found the meaning of my own time travel."

…

Lu Shen was intoxicated in memories, or reminiscing about another period of his life.

In Angsa City, where everyone began to mutate, Lu Shen was the first to awaken his superpowers.

It was also that awakening that allowed him to see through the mystery of the womb and recall his [past life].

…

Then Lu Shen drifted away. As a time traveler, he completely replaced himself as the protagonist in the comic.

Traveling through a different world, encountering great changes in the world, awakening superpowers, pretending to be cool and getting slapped in the face, upgrading and attracting beauties along the way, until the whole world is saved.

This is what Lu Shen thought and did.

…

At the height of his power, Lu Shen already occupied 1/3 of Angsa City.

Next, we only need to destroy the other two weaker forces to unify Angsa City.

Unfortunately, just before the final battle, Lu Shen "woke up".

…

"When I woke up again, I once again appeared in a dilapidated rental house."

"If it hadn't been for three months, and there was another huge sum of 1 million in my bank card."

"I thought everything was just a hallucination after I fainted from hunger."

"The excitement brought by money made me addicted to reality and completely put that time-travel experience behind me."

"Then it's just a dream."

There was a trace of self-mockery on Lu Shen's face. At that time, he was really a life full of vulgar taste.

In just six months, he completely squandered all 1 million.

After poverty made him sober again, Lu Shen found that he had no way out.

…

Although the so-called "selling his soul" did not cause any damage to Lu Shen's body, it just caused him to have a strange dream.

But this period of luxurious life completely ruined Lu Shen.

He even lost the courage to commit suicide and just wanted to enjoy the world with great greed.

…

Faced with despair again, after struggling several times, Lu Shen chose to pick up the paintbrush again and regain his "dream".

Of course, his current dreams are completely filled with money.

Lu Shen just wanted to paint the experience in his dream and sell it for money.

Ironically, he succeeded.

…

Even though Lu Shen blurred the background of the story, he completely transformed the plot.

But relying on that "lifelike" experience, the characters in Lu Shen's works seemed to have come to life.

The dark, oppressive, cruel atmosphere of desperate struggle was vividly described by Lu Shen.

…

To this day, Lu Shen still remembers what happened when he submitted another article.

The fat pig who had rejected himself several times before and claimed that he had no comic talent.

After reading his new work, he knelt down in front of him and shouted that he was the god of comics of the new generation.

At that moment, Lu Shen was as calm as ever.

Because he knows he will succeed.

…

And this is indeed the case. Lu Shen's "Purgatory Ghoul Biography" caused quite a stir once it was released and quickly became popular.

And it’s getting more and more popular and popular.

[The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul] is like conquering a city, conquering the comic market of each country.

What followed was countless wealth and fame.

Lu Shen once again had everything, and it was countless times better than before.

…

Stimulated by wealth and fame, Lu Shen began a long serialization journey.

However, various stimulations in the real world have their limits after all.

After only 10 years, Lu Shen was tired of everything he had been addicted to in the past.

If that were the case, Lu Zhen might choose to retire like other successful cartoonists.

After all, he has no more desires.

…

However, with the serialization, something incredible happened.

Perhaps because he often recalled that experience, Lu Shen's cognition began to deviate.

That memory became more and more real, and Lu Shen felt more and more that it was a real life.

…

Especially after Lu Shen lost interest in the real world, he became even more fascinated by that world.

After all, although the latter is extremely bloody and cruel, he has super powers.

Lu Shen, whose health has begun to decline, of course longs to regain his youth.

…

As this tendency became more and more serious, Lu Shen began to suffer from schizophrenia.

What is extremely ironic is that in this state, Lu Shen wrote with even more energy.

The style of "Purgatory Ghoul" has improved by leaps and bounds, making it even more appealing.

…

Each of Lu Shen's paintings has even been called a work of art by the outside world.

Then [The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul] became completely popular.

It is no longer limited to a certain area of ​​human civilization, but has become popular throughout the inner ring world.

It was at this time that the strange group of people found Lu Shen again.

…

"Lu Shen, your experience was not just a dream."

"The city of Ansa is real, but it's just buried in the past!"

"That period of your life was real and true."

"Your relatives, your lover, your friends, your comrades-in-arms, they are still waiting for your appearance in Angsa City."

"And now, you have the opportunity to take them out of the bloody purgatory!"

"As long as your [Purgatory Ghoul] is popular enough and becomes a cultural phenomenon."

"You can drag Angsa City back from the past and bring it back to the world."

…

Lu Shen was panicked when that group of people came to his door again.

Because he thought the other party wanted to collect his soul.

However, Lu Shen never expected that the other party would claim that he was the savior.

Only he can save the city of Angsa, and that is his mission across time.

…

Faced with such "nonsense", Lu Shen, who was no longer a passionate young man, naturally didn't believe it.

However, when the other party really showed his superpower in front of him, Lu Shen's world view was completely shattered.

It turns out that extraordinary power really exists and is not just a fantasy.

…

So Lu Shen no longer resisted contact with the other party and obtained many benefits from the other party.

Including but not limited to all kinds of extraordinary common sense, as well as various medicines that can keep the body active at all times.

Without these, Lu Shi would not have been able to complete such a long series for 50 years.

It is no exaggeration to say that there may be other cartoonists more talented than Lu Shen.

But with his diligence and long standby time, Lu Zhen is confident that he can outlast any of his peers.

…

"Spiritual dimension, fantasy world, reality embodied."

"My 57-year serialization has created an illusory world of [Purgatory Ghoul]."

"I have hidden the foreshadowing of Purgatory for 57 years. Once it is fully revealed, the city of Ansa will appear in front of all readers."

"With the power I have accumulated through long-term serialization, once [The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul] is linked to Angsa City, it will be enough to drag it back from its lost past."

"As long as Angsa City returns to reality, my regrets will be satisfied, and everything I lost will be back."

"It's almost there. I feel it. Angsa City and [The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul] are urging me!"

"A new plot is already brewing in my mind."

…

After completing the memory [ritual], Lu Shen immediately turned into a strong old man after taking a lot of medicine.

Every time he finished recalling, Lu Shen would have a steady stream of inspiration in his mind.

It was as if his soul really stayed in the city of Angsa, which was the source of all his inspiration.

…

“I need to serialize now!”

"I'm going to draw the inspiration in my head!"

Lu Shen, who had completely adjusted his condition to the best, appeared directly in his studio.

The studio was empty except for densely packed brushes and drawing boards.

All fans of "Purgatory Ghoul" know that every stroke in the comic was done by Mr. Lu himself.

Lu Shen never needed any assistants when painting.

…

"Target is in good condition."

"The new serialization will be completed as scheduled!"

"What a diligent cartoonist!"

In a corner where Lu Shen couldn't notice, his every move was being monitored.

Hao said without exaggeration that if all the surveillance equipment in Teacher Lu's home were cleared out, it would be enough to fill a truck.

…

Of course, it is impossible for so many surveillance equipment to belong to the same company.

Lu Shen now is a giant gold mine that continuously produces gold.

All stakeholders in [Purgatory Ghoul] will naturally "protect" their own gold mines.

…

As for Lu Shen's strange whispers, all the monitors had already heard them.

As we all know, Teacher Lu suffered from schizophrenia 40 years ago.

So it is normal for him to go crazy and talk nonsense every day.

If Lu Shen stops talking nonsense, the monitors will worry that Teacher Lu is suffering from depression and is about to commit suicide.

…

To be honest, the major forces' "protection" for Lu Shen really wasn't because they were worried about him being assassinated.

They were even more worried that Lu Shen would "commit suicide" by himself.

It has been serialized continuously for 57 years, especially the painting style has become increasingly dark and sinking.

They didn't find it strange at all that Lu Shenruo had a sudden impulse and left a suicide note and traveled through time.

So they are really protecting Lu Shen!

They have even set up dozens of professional medical teams to be on call around the clock.

…

"That Lu Shen is still a human being?"

"interesting!"

"But signs of Skull and Bones activities were indeed found around him."

"It's a pity that I don't have time now, otherwise I would have to see what's special about his soul shadow."

In Babu City, the Imperial Viscount's spaceship was suspended quietly for several days.

Inside the spaceship, Chen Qi was browsing the information from Nantian Society.

…

Chen Qi sent someone to investigate Lu Shen, the author of "The Biography of the Purgatory Ghoul".

Of course, the main thing is to confirm whether it is still human.

If this guy is no longer human, Chen Qi would immediately report his work and remove it from the shelves. This is not unreasonable.

After all, anti-humanity is much more harmful than bad artists.

…

I didn't expect that this guy with such evil views was actually a human being.

However, relying on Nantian Society's powerful intelligence capabilities, some anomalies were still detected.

Lu Shen is indeed related to the Skull and Bones Society, and Chen Qi really did not accuse him unjustly.

…

"Haha, the new serial volume will reveal the setting of [Purgatory]!"

"Then I'll wait and see!"

Seeing the "crazy words" about Lu Shen in the intelligence, Chen Qi felt a sense of clarity in his heart.

The opponent's momentum has been established and they are about to launch it completely.

…

Even though Chen Qi had guessed something, he was helpless.

Even if Lu Shen is killed, it will not help the situation now, but will only add fuel to the fire.

In the real world, the other party has completely taken the lead.

All Chen Qi can hope for now is to win back the victory in the spiritual dimension.

…

"I really didn't expect that, after all the twists and turns, my fate would actually fall on this thing."

"I'll never scratch the walls again!"

Chen Qi casually dropped the information on a thin bronze manual.

…

This bronze booklet was naturally scraped from the wall of an ancient bronze temple by Chen Qi using the "technique of reduction" taught by Wang Tianlang.

When I was on Shengxian Island, the ancient dragon was born in the volcano, and the volcano erupted, resulting in the eruption of an ancient bronze temple of the biochemical path.

Chen Qi went in and explored, but there was no hair left, so he could only scrape away the wall.

…

At this time, on the cover of the bronze book, there was a human being with a third eye between his eyebrows, two wings on his back, and no shadow under his feet.

Under the bronze book, a pair of black and white wings were flapping automatically in the absence of wind.
