Traveling through the game world, starting out as a third-rate villain

Buzz!

The sound of the vortex echoed in the room. The flickering light on the screen illuminated the darkness of the room, and a burly man stood in front of the screen.

"They're done," he said, looking at one of the screens.

Click!

Two figures walked out of one of the portals, one of them carrying a person on his shoulders.

"Mission accomplished." said the man carrying the person.

Bang!

Then the man threw a body on the ground.

“Hmm…” The burly man approached the body lying on the ground, lowered his head, squinted his eyes and observed for a while, his eyes lit up with a blue light.

"Good," he nodded. "He's not hurt." He then turned his attention to the masked figure in the center of the room, surrounded by countless black tentacles.

The burly man's eyes met those of the masked figure, and it was clear that the burly man was the one seeking cooperation.

"Thanks for your help," he began, a sense of urgency in his tone. "But we don't have much time."

The burly man said, motioning to the young man on the ground. "I have fulfilled my part of the agreement. Now, it's time for you to fulfill your part."

As the burly man finished speaking, the masked figure moved slightly. The shadow covered his face, and no features could be seen clearly.

"Yes. Now it's my turn."

As he finished speaking, a special structure made of dark energy began to emerge in front of them. The details gradually emerged, and finally formed a small holographic building.

call!

The masked figure extended a hand and pointed at the model building of Black Manor. As they moved, the details in the model gradually emerged, and every wall, every window, and even the complex structure of the building were clearly visible.

"How...how is it possible?"

Caesar, who was lying on the ground, made a startled sound. He had woken up and was looking at the small model.

The masked figure continued to shape the model, revealing the rooms, secret passages, and hidden compartments within. It was a perfect replica of the manor, accurate to the smallest detail.

"There." The masked figure pointed to a secret location in the model, a secret room hidden from sight. "That's where they keep it."

The burly man moved closer, narrowing his eyes as he studied the location. "Excellent. Now tell me more about this object and the security measures surrounding it."

"There's nothing special there." The masked figure said. "You just need to take this." After that, a vial filled with blood was handed to the burly man. "This will allow you to enter without using force."

The burly man took the blood bottle and carefully put it into the pocket of his uniform. He knew the importance of this bottle, which would serve as a pass to enter the Black family manor without triggering any alarms.

"Your help is crucial." He said in a businesslike tone, his blue eyes meeting the masked figure's gaze without flinching. "But remember, this is just a necessary collaboration. If anything goes wrong, or you betray us, you know what the consequences will be." As he spoke, every word carried a huge pressure, hanging over the masked figure.

The masked figure did not flinch. "You have your motives, I have mine. This deal is mutually beneficial. As long as we each achieve our goals, betrayal is unnecessary."

"Glad to hear that." The burly man said, then turned his gaze to the screen and tapped the microphone, "Fox Squad, prepare for action."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of mana was sucked in, forming another portal at the back of the room. A group of men in black entered the portal without hesitation.

"How do you know this?" Caesar Black realized the importance of the matter, and his heart began to feel uneasy. He realized that this person knew the location of "that thing".

"Don't you understand yet?" the masked figure responded in a questioning tone. "I always thought you were very smart."

When these words came out of their mouths, Caesar's face turned pale instantly.

"No... Impossible... You... You're already dead."

The masked figure let out a low, mocking laugh. "Caesar, death is not the end. There are always ways to escape death's grasp, and I have found a way to return."

As his mysterious words echoed in the air, Caesar began to feel a cold reality closing in. The masked figure's behavior, the way he spoke, and the past between them all gave him an undeniable sense of familiarity.

Caesar could not shake off the feeling of déjà vu, as if a shadow from the past was slowly emerging from the darkness. The secrets and resentment in the masked figure's words hinted at an unfinished story.

If this person is still alive, doesn't that mean...

"Impossible..." Caesar's voice trembled, unable to hide his inner shock. "Why... How could it be... You betrayed the family... You were exiled with them... You..."

The masked figure's voice was still cold and low, and Caesar clearly felt his mockery.

"Heh..." The masked figure scoffed softly. "The betrayal you're talking about...isn't that what you and your father did together?"

Caesar's body shook unconsciously, and he tried to stay calm. "This... This is for the benefit of the family, and you know that."

The mask of the masked figure cracked slightly, revealing resentful anger. "You think this is for the good of the family? For wealth and power?" His tone became more intense, full of suppressed resentment. "Her life is more important than all of this combined. But you never understood, right?"

The words echoed heavily in the air, carrying a deep silence. Hidden secrets and buried emotions resurfaced, weaving a complex history of contradictions between Caesar and the masked figure.

"None of this matters anymore." The masked figure raised his head and looked at the ceiling. "Eventually, I will bring her back to life. I will do whatever it takes to do that."

Caesar couldn't shake the foreboding feeling in his heart, and he realized that he was in a situation far more dangerous than he understood.

It’s as if a complicated past is unravelling, revealing long-buried secrets and deep emotions.

He was full of questions and stared at the masked figure, trying to understand his intentions. "What are you going to do?"

Caesar wanted to know what his fate would be. What he wanted to know most was what kind of ending he would face.

The masked figure still stared at the ceiling, his tone carrying a strange purpose. "I have found a way, a path guided by divine power and ancient prophecies. I will do whatever it takes to bring her back to life, even if it means going against the most powerful family that has pushed me into hell."

The masked figure finished, turning his attention to Caesar.

"And you... you will be the first piece of the puzzle on this road..." On his shadowed face, two green eyes flashed with an empty light. "Next, it will be the 'Saint' in the prophecy. The Chosen One of the Sun."

As his cold words echoed in the darkness, Caesar swallowed and quietly waited for his next fate...

......

[Fox Squad, reporting.]

In the core area of ​​Black Manor, in a narrow corridor, four figures were moving forward quietly, surrounded by layers of powerful magic barriers and top-level magic tools to protect them.

Their bodies were covered in black tights.

"Fox Team reporting. We have arrived at the designated location." The man standing in the front said in a serious tone as he came to a small door.

The door was flashing with light, and countless lasers could be seen behind it. Normally, they would use mana interference to destroy these magical instruments, but this door was different.

These magic tools do not rely on the mana in the environment, but are supplied by the mana source under the manor. This is a special technology that only top families can master.

The wall is made of the most expensive material in the world and has the property of [Mana Resistance]. This is why they know the exact location of the vault and cannot open the portal directly in the vault.

[You have three minutes left.]

"clear."

After the man answered, he reached into his pocket and took out a small bottle filled with red liquid. He dropped a drop of blood into the small circle below the door.

The moment the blood drop touched the circle, the complex barrier and laser defense system around the door began to fail one by one.

[System identification...]

The sound of a mechanical closing in the room announced progress.

The other members of Team Fox held their breath as they watched A continue to drip blood into the circle.

This is the Black family's bloodline identification system, a guarantee to protect their most precious secrets.

【Recognition passed. 】

Click!

As these words echoed in the room, the vault door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the core of the vault.

"Fox Team reporting in. We are now inside the vault."

A reported while using hand gestures to signal the other team members. According to the information they received from the masked figure, there would be no danger here, but they remained alert because he was not completely trustworthy.

【Very good. Get that thing quickly and don't let your guard down.】

He heard the order coming from his headset and immediately signaled the team to enter the vault.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a burst of quick footsteps, the team members quickly entered the vault without wasting any time.

whoosh!

However, they did not realize that behind them, a shadow-like figure was quietly following them.
