The word "legacy of time".
This wasn't actually the first time Roger had heard of this.
Very quickly.
He searched for relevant information from the depths of his memory.
He had seen this affix in the developer log of the game in the preview of the next version!
In the preview.
This thing seems to be a copy of a small game.
There shouldn't be any problem with safety.
Roger remembered it in the mechanism of Legacy of Time.
Players will have the opportunity to enter a "history that has nothing to do with the present world".
However, the conditions for these histories to be close to the 'present world' are very harsh.
Once missed.
The next time we encounter it, it may not be the same history.
And I don’t know how long I have to wait.
Take into account the time compensation mechanism of Legacy of Time.
It would be a huge loss if you don't go.
Before the countdown ends.
Roger used the protection of the "Queen's Right Hand" to quickly perform a divination.
After confirming that the Feather of Time in his hand posed no safety risks.
He immediately entered the 'historical world'!
…
"Hint: You have entered 'Legacy of Time: The Legend of Farlook'..."
…
"In order to avoid attracting the attention of the gods of the corresponding world, your power will be sealed 6 times. Given that your basic lifespan is 30 years, the rules for unsealing are set as follows:
…
1. Automatic unlocking: Every 5 years, you will automatically unlock 1 layer of the seal;
After 30 years, you will reach your prime in the historical world.
Within 3 minutes after all the seals are lifted, you will be expelled by the gods of the corresponding world.
…
2. Active unlocking: You can find the 'opportunity' to unlock the seal through 'clues', so as to restore your own combat power without increasing the 'abnormal value';
…
But please keep in mind.
No matter how you unlock the seal, please do not wantonly display force that does not belong to the corresponding world in public, otherwise your "abnormal value" will increase dramatically.
Excessively high 'outliers' often mean special attention from the gods.
The gods' gaze means that you are very likely to end this historical journey early."
…
"Sealing completed! You have obtained the first character card in Legacy of Time."
…
In the dark vision.
Lines of light yellow fonts floated by.
That moment.
Roger seemed to be in the starry sky.
There are endless stars under his feet and above his head.
A brand new character card slowly appeared before his eyes.
First up is the basic column.
…
"Name: Roger"
"Gender: Male"
Age: 18
"Status: Healthy"
…
"I didn't expect that I would have the chance to be 18 again..."
Roger chuckled.
Immediately, his eyes moved down to the attribute bar.
…
"Appearance: ★★☆☆☆" (Your appearance is above average, and the girls in the town will occasionally mention your name when talking about their lovers and their families)
…
"Health: ★★☆☆☆" (You are relatively healthy and strong. Given your age, you can withstand heavy physical labor for a certain period of time, but over time you will also suffer from hidden diseases and eventually cause injuries)
…
"Energy: ★★☆☆☆" (You have relatively strong energy and can spare a short period of time for reading and studying after a long and busy day at work. You should be thankful that most people do not have extra energy to improve themselves after work.)
…
"Inspiration: ★☆☆☆☆" (You lack artistic talent and psychic talent. Not to mention your life, even your dreams seem dull and vulgar, not worth mentioning. You lack the potential to become a painter, writer, singer, performer, etc. As for being a psychic, forget it!)
…
「Wealth: ★☆☆☆☆」 (Your wealth level is at the bottom of any society)
…
"Combat: ★☆☆☆☆" (Standard combat strength of an adult male: You can defeat poultry and livestock with your bare hands, but you cannot defeat wild beasts)
…
"Combat capability 1 star?"
"He's just an ordinary person..."
See here.
Roger frowned slightly.
Fortunately, he can be sure that—
Even if you die in the "Legacy of Time", it will only end your "historical journey" early.
Taking into account the 'outliers' etc. mentioned earlier.
Roger gradually realized that the 'Legacy of Time' was probably not the kind of dungeon that could be cleared directly by force!
This is really a weakening for him.
But Roger didn't really care.
Than using your brain.
He has never been afraid of anyone!
So he looked down patiently.
…
"Reminder: The basic character card has been created. Please select 'Destiny Traits'"
…
"In the initial state, you will receive 6 random destiny traits, and you can choose 3 of them as supplements to the character card..."
…
"Selecting destiny traits! Please wait..."
…
"It's time to compete again."
Roger was slightly looking forward to it.
But he was not too nervous - after all, he had the "Fate Dice" given by Brother Xuewu, which gave him an extra chance to refresh the characteristics of his fate.
It really doesn't work.
Just roll it again.
Between thoughts.
The initial six characteristics appeared before Roger's eyes one by one.
He read it carefully.
…
"Silver River (Epic): In your childhood, you dreamed of a long river flowing with silver, lead and mercury.
There are birds flying on the river with branches in their mouths.
Someone is faintly calling your name at the bottom of the river.
You were terribly scared.
He ran away without looking back.
This dream was once a shadow of your childhood, but as you grew up, you gradually forgot it.
But recently, I don’t know why——
This dream appears in your midnight repeatedly.
You feel a little anxious. To relieve this emotion, you can make the following choices and get different clues:
…
Choice 1: Seek confession from a priest.
…
Choice 2: Find out where the strip club is.
…
"Effect: Your initial inspiration +2/initial clue +1"
…
"Note: The clues point to unusual encounters in ordinary and boring daily life. Not every clue can lead to extraordinary things. Some clues may end in danger, while some clues will eventually return to ordinary life. It all depends on your choice."
…
Epic Trait!
Roger's eyelids twitched.
I never expected this.
My luck is so good!
Please note the details next to it.
Roger knew that destiny traits were divided into four levels: "Normal, Excellent, Epic, and Mythical".
He felt that he had no connection with mythology.
It's satisfying to be able to roll an epic.
The "River of Silver" trait is quite high quality.
With Roger's many years of gaming experience.
Since the mechanism of 'outliers' has been set up.
Then this copy is most likely the type where you need to do less and make fewer mistakes to survive.
This trait has no negative effects.
It can already be called a small top-grade product.
"As long as the subsequent ones are not too bad, I won't restart randomly..."
Roger thought so.
Subsequent characteristics gradually surfaced.
…
"Family Fall (Excellent): You used to be a rich second-generation.
Your father committed suicide due to bankruptcy and was left with a lot of infamy after his death.
But he secretly left you a fortune.
This inheritance is enough to keep you going for a while.
But it won’t last long.”
…
"Effect: Your initial wealth +1"
…
"Low-class person (ordinary): Your speech is vulgar, your temperament is reckless, and you always exude the aura of a low-class person."
…
"Effect: Concealment in public places +1/Difficult to enter high-class places"
…
"Ladies' Favorite (Excellent): You have a pretty face and a strong physique, and you are the favorite of ladies.
And in daily life, you are also considerate and good at serving women."
…
"Effect: After completing the first stage of the task, the probability of obtaining a fixed income is increased by 40%;
The probability of being challenged to a duel by a noble man increases by 5%.
Your reputation -1"
…
「Lonely person (normal): You cannot fit in with the crowd and can only survive on the fringes of society.
You have no friends, no wife, no one to associate with.
You can’t get a stable source of income.”
…
"Effect: Your initial energy +1;
Your probability of dying from illness increases by 70%;
Your chance of starving to death +40%"
…
"Depression (common): You have been depressed since childhood.
You think no one in this world can understand your pain.
You are alive today only because of the mercy of others, but now you only think they are hateful .
You really want to die, but you don’t have the courage to put it into practice yet.”
…
"Effect: Suicide probability +100%/clue +1"
…
“Hmm…”
Read all 5 traits that will be updated later in one go.
Roger's expression became uncertain.
To be honest.
The five traits refreshed later are a bit disappointing.
"Depression" and "introverted people" are purely negative effects.
"The Lowlifes" and "The Lady's Pet" are rotten in their own ways.
Except for the "family decline" one which is pretty good.
If Roger had to choose one of the remaining four -
"I choose to eat soft rice and hard food..."
"never mind!"
"I'd better choose to roll again! I won't be so unlucky next time, right?"
Thinking so.
Roger decisively chose to use the extra refresh opportunity!
…
"Hint: You have refreshed your 'Destiny Trait'"
…
"The new destiny traits are as follows, please make your choice -
…
1. Two-Faced Man (Epic)
2. Cultist (Epic)
3. Eunuch (Normal)
4. Childhood sweetheart (excellent)
5. Frustrated in love (normal)
6. Barber Apprentice (Excellent)
…」
“Wuhu!”
Double purple traits!
Roger couldn't help but whistle.
"What else is there to choose from?"
"No one would choose "unlucky in love" or "eunuch", right?"
"As for my childhood sweetheart... well, it's okay to give her a girl at the beginning, but unfortunately women will only affect the speed at which I accumulate historical knowledge..."
Almost in an instant.
Roger completed the check with extremely fast speed!
After determining the characteristics.
More descriptions about the dungeon mechanism of "Legacy of Time" began to appear on the data bar.
Because there is no time limit for this part.
So Roger read it very carefully.
…
First of all, the setting about 'death'.
In the historical world.
The small town youth played by Roger may die of old age, die of illness due to poor health, or die in an accident...
But the most important thing to be vigilant about is that if the 'outliers' are too high, they will be discovered by the gods of the corresponding world and then 'killed' or 'expelled'!
Roger entered the world of history.
But the characters and gods in the corresponding world do not know this.
What he does must fit in with the image of a 'native of the historical world'.
Otherwise, the 'outliers' will be pulled very high.
The final outcome was a messy ending.
To sum it up in one word.
Just have to survive!
Roger felt that he was quite good at this.
…
The second is the news about 'background'.
This data column only provides a brief introduction.
…
"Legacy of Time: The Legend of Overlook"
…
"Location: Yuanwang Town (a coastal town located at the foot of a volcano, once prosperous, but now much declined, but still a major transportation route to the north;
There are many legends of supernatural beings in the town, but the church forbids talking about it;
The town has a permanent population of over 10,000 and several times that number in circulation, but outsiders usually stop at the dock...)"
…
"God: Meng (???)"
…
"Strength: A small amount of necromancy, cantrips, and spellcasters; low-level firearms; a small amount of monsters"
…
"Map: The tile-roofed house area and commercial area of ​​Yuanwang Town (unlocking maps of other areas requires additional clues and opportunities, please explore the specific methods yourself.
Leaving the character's familiar area without permission may cause your character to encounter unexpected events)
…
Not much information though.
But Roger read it with great interest.
Somehow.
He suddenly found the feeling he had when playing board games in his previous life.
"I don't know what it's like to enter it specifically?"
Just think of this.
Roger chose "Confirm" with great anticipation.
…
"About to enter 'Farview Town', special mechanism inspection in progress..."
…
"It is detected that you have 'Blessing: High Dimensional Perspective', you can use it in certain special occasions"
…
"It is detected that you have 'Expertise: Lifespan Accumulation 3'. You can choose 'Basic Lifespan Adjusted to 90' or 'Obtain 2 Feathers of Time' (First-time Entry Reward)"
…
"Hint: You have obtained 2 Feathers of Time"
…
"Special mechanism check completed!
About to enter 'Yuanwang Town'...
Please keep this in mind.
Every person you meet has lived in this world before.
But now.
They are just historical figures.
It only exists in the history that 'does not belong to this world'! 」
…
Lines of information flashed by.
After making a decision that required almost no thought.
A gray scene appeared before Roger's eyes.
There is the sound of dripping rain in my ears.
A series of bright mirrors appeared before his eyes.
A corner of the mirror.
A series of information that only Roger could see flashed by.
…
"Record: In the 162nd year of the Third Era, you arrived at 'Farlook Town', and your destiny traits are loading..."
…
"Two-Face (Epic): You work for more than one secret organization.
Obviously, this is extremely risky, and if you are discovered, you will be dead.
But you never get tired of it and regard it as the spice of life.
You have gained a lot of ill-gotten gains as a result.
But it also offended some people.”
…
"Effect: Your initial wealth +2/clue +1/initial enemy +1"
…
“Cultist (Epic): In life, you are humble and gentle, and are considered a promising young man by your neighbors and friends;
And in the dead of night, you reveal your true colors:
You secretly serve a cruel evil god called 'The Lighthouse'.
This evil god is known for his hatred of women.
Therefore, your job is to secretly promote the evil of women.
You exaggerate and radicalize the flaws of a few women.
And hold the male group high.
This job does not interest you.
But you can make money.
You feel clear conscience.”
…
"Effect: Your initial wealth +2/clue +1"
…
"Barber's Apprentice (Excellent): When you were young, you followed the most famous barber in town to learn the craft, and it has been eight years now.
In addition to haircuts and shaving, your surgical skills have also surpassed your predecessors.
In order to win you over, your teacher decided to marry you to his daughter, a thrice-widowed woman.
The forty-year-old lady is notorious in the town.
But there is quite a bit of extra money.
You are unwilling to start your own business.
But this will offend your teacher..."
…
"Effect: Your initial energy +1/After completing the 1st stage task, you will 100% get a stable income/Lead +1"
…
"Destiny traits loaded, your historical knowledge (Yuanwang Town) +30"
…
“This is the perfect start!”
Glancing at the character card.
Roger was full of confidence.
Five star wealth!
Two-star energy!
Four clues!
Only 1 enemy!
If this isn’t a perfect start, what is?
Between thoughts.
The perspective in front of him gradually changed from fantasy to reality.
As a barber apprentice.
The character played by Roger is currently in a very spacious barber shop.
It was a midsummer afternoon.
He was the only one in the store.
People on the street outside were walking hurriedly.
The dullness before the thunderstorm really makes people want to doze off.
The barber's apprentice paced back and forth in the shop.
Occasionally he looked thoughtful.
It's time.
Roger realized that he could not fully control the barber's apprentice's body!
All he could do was issue some instructions.
For example.
…
"Pacing (Physical Strength -3; Anxiety +5)".
…
"Meditation (Energy -5; Inspiration +3)".
…
"Clue (starting a business/marrying a widow)"
…
By checking or confirming these options.
His body will do some actions.
While the action is in progress.
Roger could only watch.
In fact.
It was often difficult for Roger to be satisfied with what the character was able to achieve.
…
"What do you mean..."
“Is my role in this world limited to being a camera?”
Roger is still getting used to this new experience.
Suddenly someone pushed the door open outside the barber shop.
It was a man wearing a long black windbreaker, a sun hat and a mask.
"Haircut."
The man said briefly.
The words fell.
Time seemed to have stopped.
Two options suddenly appeared before Roger.
There is a 60-second countdown afterwards.
…
"Option 1: Receive guests. Guests are the gods, and every guest must be served enthusiastically!"
…
"Option 2: Reject and choose resignation—
…
'Sorry, the barber shop is closed today';
…
"Hello, please wait a moment. My teacher has told me to personally serve a distinguished guest like you. He is resting in the inner hall. I will go and ask him to come out."
…
"If I want to start my own business, asking the teacher or rejecting me outright doesn't seem right... "
"Um."
"You are new here, so your speech and behavior should be in line with your status. You should just receive the guests..."
Because it’s just the beginning.
Roger didn't think much about it.
I just clicked "Option 1".
In the field of vision.
The barber's apprentice began to work diligently.
He seemed to be watching a first-person movie.
Except the perspective is very shaky.
Somewhat boring.
But the next second.
The vision in front of Roger suddenly turned scarlet!
On the character card.
His "health" instantly dropped from two stars to 0!
…
"Warning: You've been stabbed 13 times!"
…
"Record: You encountered an assassination attempt, and you were 'killed' by your enemy" (from: Two-Faced Man)
…
"You have ended this time travel."
…
"You have learned a motto: Never make too many enemies before you are fully grown; the same is true after you are fully grown."
…
“You reach a new milestone: ‘This is the perfect start!’”
…
"'This is a perfect start': Indeed"
…
"Corresponding title: Unsuccessful mission (Vigilance +1)"
…
“Ah, this…”
"Is this possible?"
Roger was confused.
…
"It is detected that you still have 2 Feathers of Time. Do you want to consume 1 Feather of Time and re-enter 'Legacy of Time'?"
…
