Because on this very night, the vanguard dark elves of the Dark Legion successfully launched a surprise attack on Glaston City. What followed was a massacre: all 150,000 residents of the city were slaughtered within a single day and night, their souls sacrificed by the dark elves to their deity, the Spider Queen Lolth. In the end, fewer than a thousand survived!

The sacrificed corpses piled up in the Glass River outside the city, nearly blocking the flow, and the river ran blood red.

Glaston City was reduced to ruins overnight.

This event became known as the ‘Blood Moon Incident’!

Afterwards, a terrifying war swept across the entire Ferroman continent, marking the beginning of the Dark Age, which showed no sign of ending even after more than twenty years—instead, it only grew more intense.

All of this is the history of the game “Myth,” but after comparing it with the memories of the youth in his mind, Luke Carter realized that the world he was in now was almost identical to “Myth.”

The only difference was that, in his previous life’s game, the year was already 1076. At that time, the Radiant Faction was suffering defeat after defeat, losing more than they won, their territory shrinking, and internal chaos rampant—their situation was extremely dire. But now, the world was at the very beginning of the catastrophe.

Tonight, the Blood Moon Incident would occur!

Luke Carter felt a chill in his heart. He turned and saw a pocket watch on the nightstand, hurried over, picked it up, and opened it. The watch’s hands glowed in the dark—dwarven craftsmanship—making the time clearly visible: 9:35 PM.

“Less than an hour left before the dark elves’ assassination begins!” Luke Carter shuddered inwardly.

That night, the first to wreak havoc were the dark elf assassins. They had infiltrated Glaston City early, disguised themselves carefully, and devised an extremely thorough assassination plan.

In the game’s history, the assassinations began at 10:30 and lasted for an hour.

During that hour, 99% of the people in the city who could have stabilized the situation were killed; most of the survivors were gravely wounded. When the dark elves began their assault, the entire city was plunged into utter chaos, and the dark elf army met almost no real resistance.

How did he know all this so clearly?

Because in the game “Myth,” every player who entered would experience a Blood Moon Night as their novice quest—their mission was to escape from Glaston.

Luke Carter had gone through it as well, but he never expected to experience it again in the real world.

“What should I do to save myself?”

Luke Carter paced back and forth in the room, asking himself over and over.

He was about to experience a terrifying massacre in another world. If he didn’t escape, by morning, he would definitely be one of the corpses floating in the Glass River!

The impending disaster made Luke Carter’s heart pound, but as a god-level mage in the game, his mental fortitude was extremely strong. Though shocked, he didn’t panic or complain about his fate. Once he understood his situation, he immediately began thinking about how to deal with it.

Suddenly, Luke Carter felt a jolt in his heart, and then he sensed a glowing number appear in his mind: 20.

“This is... free points? The God of Radiance was telling the truth?” Luke Carter was instantly elated.

In the game, the God of Radiance is the main deity of the Radiant Faction. The same was true in this other world, as the youth’s memories confirmed.

In the strange space he experienced before transmigrating, the Lord of Radiance told him that, to help him escape from Glaston, he would be given 20 free points. By spending these points, he would gain initial magical power.

This made Luke Carter’s eyes light up. He was only a god-level mage in the game and knew nothing about the principles of magic. If he wanted to truly master magic, he would have to study at a magic academy, which would take a lot of time—something he simply didn’t have in this urgent situation.

“How do I use free points?” he asked immediately.

A light flashed at the edge of his vision, and Luke Carter saw a line of glowing, clear text appear at the edge of his view—just like in the game.

The text began to scroll down.

‘Game system loading... loading complete.’

‘Scanning target body attributes... scan complete.’

“Player: Luke Morley (Noble)

Title: Magic Apprentice

Mana recovery rate: 0.2 points per hour.

Mana cap: 1 (mana consumption refers to the free point consumption table)

Currently mastered magic: Level-less Mage Hand (consumes 0.2 mana)

Current equipment: None.”

Luke Carter was baffled: “What is this? Why does it look so much like a mage’s game attribute panel... But this body is really useless—these stats are almost no different from an ordinary person.”

Immediately after, the game system provided a detailed explanation.

“To help the player quickly adapt to the real Ferroman world, the player’s body has been integrated with the game system. The game system will issue tasks to the player. Upon completion, the player will receive more free points.”

“But what exactly are free points for?”

New information instantly appeared in his vision.

“Free points can be used to exchange for player body attributes.”

“Exchange rate: 1 free point = 1 point mana recovery rate = 10 points mana cap.”

“Free points can be used to purchase magic.”
