After the message was sent, Kieran waited for Lawless' reply.
It was different from the usual quick reply.
This time, Lawless went silent for almost a minute before he replied to Kieran.
Lawless: There will be an accident!
2567: Accidents?
Lawless: Yes, all kinds of accidents!
Lawless: When the beta period ended, some players immediately left the virtual reality helmet and didn't log in for more than three months.
Lawless: Then … something unexpected happened!
Lawless: "Two of my friends, just like me, were inexperienced players. They decided to stay away from this terrible game, and then... when the three months were up, one of them fell down the stairs of his house and broke his neck, and the other one was electrocuted when he was taking a shower."
Lawless: All the players who stopped playing the game died in accidents without exception!
Lawless: It was like the Grim Reaper had arrived!
It took Lawless almost two minutes to type out this paragraph of text.
It seemed like he didn't want to recall the scene.
After reading the message, Kieran felt a chill at the back of his neck.
Although Kieran had been busy with all kinds of jobs, he hadn't watched the movie in detail. He had only heard about it once in a while, but he still remembered the various ways the actors died in the movie.
If something like that happened to him …
Kieran couldn't even imagine the scene.
Because it was really too strange!
Any small thing, any item, could be the culprit behind his death.
It was even scarier than the disease he was suffering from.
After all, the latter could still be traced.
The former was invisible and formless.
It was like the Grim Reaper's scythe. Once the time was up, the scythe would appear on the player's neck and slash across.
Huu! Huu!
Kieran panted heavily, trying his best to calm down his messy thoughts.
He knew that panicking at this time would not bring him any benefits.
It would only make him more afraid.
In the end, he would fall into the vortex of despair and die a horrible death.
Kieran was all too familiar with the process.
After all, this was not the first time Kieran had faced the threat of death.
Three years ago, when he had been diagnosed with a genetic virus during a routine checkup, he had experienced it himself.
And that time … Kieran had already touched the edge of despair.
If it weren't for the fact that Kieran had too many expectations and fantasies about life, he would've killed himself a long time ago!
At that time, Kieran did not make a cowardly choice.
This time … Kieran naturally would not do the same!
He wouldn't even think about it.
Because he had a new goal: not only did he want to live, he wanted to live well enough!
The burning 'hope' in his chest instantly dispelled the bone-chilling cold!
"The situation is much better than before, isn't it?"
After a few seconds, Kieran, who had completely calmed down, muttered to himself.
Then, Kieran typed again and sent a private message.
2567: Can I leave the game?
2567: The truly safe kind!
The emphasis in the message represented how serious Kieran was at the moment.
Lawless' reply was just as serious.
Lawless: Yes!
Lawless: You'll get the chance after completing 30 dungeons!
Lawless' affirmation made Kieran raise a brow.
It seemed like if Lawless was so sure, someone must have done it before.
Without a second thought, Kieran sent out his question.
2567: Who did it?
Lawless: The Witch, Cornelia!
Lawless: A crazy, scary woman!
Lawless: Remember when I told you about the Legendary-tier skill that started the war? It was all because of this woman!
2567: What happened after that?
Lawless: Then, that crazy woman lured all the veterans into the game and killed at least a hundred of them with her own hands!
Lawless: She killed half of the veterans who had cleared the dungeon and chose to stay.
Lawless: To be honest, when the system announced that the crazy woman had left, everyone, including me, heaved a sigh of relief. At that time, no one dared to join the team dungeon unless they had a high rank party contract because they were afraid of running into that crazy woman!
Lawless: Once you run into her, be it friend or foe, everyone will be slaughtered!
...
Then, Lawless activated his chatterbox mode.
He began to describe how terrifying Demoness Cornelia was.
Kieran, on the other hand, took a quick glance at Lawless and ignored him.
"Hmph!
There's still a chance!
As long as there's a chance! "
Kieran heaved a long breath in his heart.
Since there was someone who could truly leave the underground game, he could naturally do the same.
Even though he had to clear 30 dungeons before he could get the chance!
Still, it was better than nothing!
"The Witch, Cornelia?"
Kieran muttered the name softly.
There was no other meaning to it. Kieran treated it as a goal that he had to catch up to.
He wasn't chasing after her crazed killing intent, he was chasing after her footsteps!
Then, Kieran went through the conversation with Lawless.
Soon, he found another hidden message.
2567: Based on what I know, less than a third of the 3,000 players who cleared the newbie dungeon!
2567: Cornelia killed a hundred of them, and that's only half of them! Seems like there were a lot of players who chose to stay after clearing the newbie dungeon!
Lawless: It's all thanks to that guy!
2567: Who?
Lawless: It's the profiteer who hired us to complete the dungeon for the big client, Monien the Broker.
Lawless: Although I don't like that guy, I have to admit that he's smart. After he cleared the newbie dungeon, he used the forum to inform all the surviving players, warning us to be careful!
Lawless: A lot of people believe him, but some don't!
Lawless: I'm the former, so I'm lucky enough to survive! Then, they would owe that guy a big favor – all the surviving players would owe that guy a favor!
Lawless: That guy also knows how to make use of these favors. Not only did he gather a lot of veterans to set up a secret bazaar, but he also hooked up with a few players who were actually the children of millionaires in real life or were actually millionaires in real life. He opened up the exchange between Points and Federation Coins, allowing us poor players in real life to better invest in the game.
2567: What an amazing guy!
Kieran commented from the bottom of his heart.
Whether it was the opening of the secret bazaar or the exchange between Points and Federation Coins, it was shocking!
Lawless: That's right. He's really something!
Lawless: How could anyone who could get a Unique Title be simple?
2567: Unique Title?
Kieran unconsciously looked at the title in his character tab: Giant Crocodile Killer.
Ugh!
There was no ambiguity in the title, but Kieran really felt it was a little … simple!
He felt like he was a lucky fisherman who had just reaped a bountiful harvest.
Obviously, it couldn't be a Unique Title!
Kieran wanted to ask about his own title, but when he thought about how talkative Lawless was, Kieran was smart enough to keep quiet.
Lawless: Unique Title, Unique Title!
Lawless: In simple words, once a player gets a Unique Title, other players can't get it anymore.
Lawless: A lot of people are trying to get a Unique Title, but none of them have succeeded.
Lawless: And I'm sure there won't be another player with a Unique Title in a short period of time!
2567: Are you sure?
Lawless: Of course! After all, the Witch and Broker can't be replicated! Even I, the Dragon Slayer, didn't get a Unique Title, let alone those guys!
The first part of the sentence was normal, but when it came to the last part, Kieran couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Naturally, Lawless would not stop bragging at such a time.
Just as Lawless was describing for the fifth time how he carried the rocket launcher and bombed the land dragon, the party channel started to chime in.
