2025-08-06 20:55:32Boom—!!!
The deafening explosion made the entire castle groan.
Boulders from the ceiling mixed with dust and came crashing down; Veridian's consciousness was torn violently out of endless chaos by that very shock.
What greeted him was an agony more unbearable than death.
It was as if someone were stirring his brain with a red‑hot iron rod!
Two utterly different sets of memories collided and tore at his mind like madmen.
One belonged to the twenty‑first century—the corporate drone who had been slowly eaten alive by cancer in a sterile hospital room.
Another presence belonged to this world: a young bloodkin named Viridian.
A vampire?
He collapsed onto the biting cold stone floor, gasping laboriously.
His sharp canine teeth had pierced his lower lip; a faint metallic tang of blood spread through his mouth, reminding him of the absurdity of this reality.
What made it worse was that the memories in this body were filled with a despair deeper than a cancer ward.
He belonged to the thirteenth clan of the bloodline, the "descendant of Cain" whose blood was the thinnest and status the lowest.
A waste.
A disgrace who couldn't even perform the initial embrace to turn an ordinary person.
And now, the only value of his existence was as a chess piece discarded by his family.
"Boom!!"
Another earth-shattering roar came from the main hall of the castle.
A blinding golden radiance, like the sun of divine retribution, fell to the ground, turning half the night sky into daylight!
Holy light!
It is the Holy Light of the Radiant Church!
That pure, majestic energy, full of devastating purifying power, made Veridian's soul instinctively scream and tremble!
"Malignant undead, beneath the Holy Light, you shall all be ash!"
"Praise Luminos, God of the Sun! Purify this place!"
Outside, the paladins' hymns—frenzied to the point of distortion—blended with the clanging of heavy armor, composing a grim symphony of death.
In the depths of his memory, his supposed "elder brother" had locked him in this side chamber just hours ago.
On that handsome, ruthless face was written nothing but contempt.
"Viridian, this is your final contribution to the family. To die at the hands of the Holy Light Knights—consider that your glory."
Glory?
Screw your glory!
In his previous life, he lay on his sickbed, watching his vital signs tick down to zero with helplessness.
In this life, he was treated as cannon fodder, waiting in the cold stone chamber for the despair of purification.
Two waves of extreme negative emotions crashed together, almost grinding his reason to powder!
Why?!
Why must I die so helplessly again!
I don't want to die!!
I want to live!!!
The hysterical roar in his heart seemed to have struck some law hidden in the void.
A strand of golden holy light, like a cunning viper, slipped in through the cracked door and precisely "kissed" the back of his hand.
"Sizzle—!"
A smell like roasting meat, scorched and sharp, rose with thin tendrils of smoke.
A burning pain that reached into his bones made his whole body jolt.
Yet, just at the instant that the agony peaked!
A cold, deathly, emotionless mechanical voice, like an oracle from beyond the ninth heaven, suddenly exploded deep within his mind!
[Host's intense will to survive detected...]
[Conditions met...]
[Proficiency System, formally activated!]
Viridian's body froze instantly.
Immediately after, a translucent, ghostly-blue panel that only he could see unfolded slowly before his eyes.
[Name: Viridian]
[Race: Bloodline (Descendant)] [Health: 10/10] [Strength: 3 (adult male: 5)] [Agility: 6 (adult male: 5)] [Constitution: 2 (adult male: 5)] [Spirit: 7 (5 for adult males)] [Skills: None] [Talents: None]The corner of Viridian's eye twitched violently.
These ridiculous stats—especially that abysmally low 2 Constitution and a mere 10 hit points...
If a passing knight sneezed outside, they'd probably blast me to bits, right?!
"Bang!!"
Just then, the already battered wooden door was utterly smashed to splinters by a tremendous kick!
A young knight clad in silver-white armor, wielding a long cross-shaped sword, charged in.
The holy light emanating from him was like an all-consuming furnace with no shadows—an intense blaze that seared every inch of Viridian's skin!
Agony! Piercing, bone-deep agony!
The numbers on the status panel flickered clearly, jumping for a single beat.
[HP: 9/10]
Immediately after, a new line of golden text flashed and popped up on the panel.
[Ding! You are continuously receiving faint Holy Light damage. Passive skill [Holy Light Resistance] has been unlocked! Current proficiency: 1/100.]
[Ding! [Holy Light Resistance] proficiency +1!]
[Ding! [Holy Light Resistance] proficiency +1!]
Viridian's breath, in that moment, completely stilled.
His pupils suddenly contracted into dangerous pinpoints.
He stared fixedly at the prompt that kept pulsing, and in his mind it felt as if millions of thunderclaps had exploded at once!
Injured… can that unlock skills?
Getting a singe from the holy light… is that increasing proficiency?!
The trainee knight noticed him too; his young face was a tangle of first-time battle nerves and a feverish sense of mission.
"An isolated vampire whelp? Filthy thing, receive the purification of the Sun God!"
He raised the long sword high, and a gentle yet lethally deadly holy light for Viridian gleamed along the blade.
The brilliance of death.
A moment ago, it had been a life-stealing poison.
But now...
In Viridian's eyes, that fear and despair of death were, in the space of a single second, utterly replaced by a morbid, feverish radiance mixed with ecstasy and madness!
A dead end?
No!
What the hell kind of dead end is that!
This was clearly a broad highway to immortality! A divine "newbie gift pack" that others could never beg for!
"Heh heh..."
"Hehehehe..."
Under the stunned gaze of the trainee knight, the vampiric whelp who should have been trembling under his holy light and howling for mercy not only did not retreat, but instead let out a low, eerie laugh.
That laughter seemed to come from the abyss, making the young knight feel a sudden, inexplicable pang of dread.
The next second, a scene that would haunt him for the rest of his life unfolded.
The gaunt member of the bloodline not only failed to dodge, but instead reached out with the one hand that had been seared by holy light, flesh torn and raw, toward that ever-closer golden radiance!
Madness! He must be mad!
Sizzle—!!
A burning pain ten times fiercer than before washed over him; flesh curled, white bone exposed!
Agony flooded him like a tide, as if it would shred his nerves apart!
[HP: 8/10]
But at the same time!
The tortures from hell were accompanied by the gospel from heaven!
[Ding! You are scorched by Holy Light, [Holy Light Resistance] proficiency +5!]
[Ding! [Holy Light Resistance] proficiency +5!]
[Ding! You have been cut by a sharp object (shard). The passive skill "Tough Skin" has been unlocked. Current proficiency 1/100!]
[Ding! You are enduring excruciating pain. The passive skill "Pain Endurance" has been unlocked. Current proficiency 1/100!]
A barrage of system notifications, like the most splendid waterfall, crazily flooded Veridian’s mind!
That cold mechanical voice, at this moment, sounded like the most beautiful, most enchanting symphony in the whole world!
Refreshing!
So fucking refreshing!
"You... you monster! What are you doing?!"
The trainee knight recoiled half a step at the bizarre scene before him; he had never seen such a sinister undead creature.
Viridian slowly lifted his head, his pale face contorted with excruciating pain, yet bursting into a grin so radiant it was grotesque from overwhelming ecstasy.
His crimson eyes locked onto the knight, and that look was not that of someone facing a judge.
It was more like he was looking at a...
A walking, steaming, unimaginably huge experience bundle!
He licked his split lips; his voice was hoarse, but carried a chilling sort of pleasure.
"Just a little more…"
"Your holy light is too weak!"

Chapter 128: Voyage Through the Void — The Shards of Law Amid the Sea of Stars
The moment the Expedition pierced the barrier, the world before Veridian changed completely.There were no stars. No light. No shadow.This was the universe’s reverse side—the scrapyard of laws.Everywhere he looked, a storm of fractured principles swirled—a tempest of radiant chaos.Broken chains of causality writhed like serpents of lightning through the void,while shards of shattered time flickered,casting phantoms of past and future.This was true nothingness—a realm so unstable that even void itself could not hold form.The conceptual ark, Expedition, drifted across this chaotic ocean like a solitary leaf.Any single storm of law could have torn it apart,reducing it to the rawest fragments of concept—to absolute erasure.Veridian stood at the bow, Lilith held gently in his arms.His scarlet eyes were tranquil,showing not
Chapter 127: The Clash of Laws — The Barrier of Nihility and the Primordial Light
The direct confrontation with the Supreme Being began earlier than anyone could have foreseen—and in a way no one could have imagined.Veridian hovered before the deck of the Expedition, Lilith held tightly in his arms.His scarlet eyes gazed calmly at the unseen barrier that stretched across the void before him.[ACCESS DENIED]The command—woven from the pure concept of Termination—was cold, absolute, undeniable.Go around it?There was no point.On the level of law, the barrier had no thickness, and yet it was omnipresent.It did not seal off space—it sealed off the very concept of advancement.Veridian’s expression remained utterly still.He understood well: this was Nihility’s final warning—and a test.A test of how much worth this newly crowned Lord of Law truly possessed.To retreat would mean e
Chapter 126: The Descent of the Void — Expedition to the Primordial Land
Viridian did not summon storms nor clash head-on with the vast will of the Void that loomed across the stars. He chose restraint.To fight the Void now would be to overturn the board itself—and a true chessmaster never does that when he’s just discovered there’s a wider game beyond it.Direct confrontation was the last resort.The Void’s “Primordial Wither” project was not a battle, but a cosmic reformatting—a system purge meant to overwrite existence itself.In that case, the “Primordial Land” and the unknown world that had sent its faint cry for help were like the unformatted partitions of a dying hard drive—places the Void’s code had not yet reached.Perhaps, within them, hid the true source code of the virus capable of rewriting the entire system.Viridian’s will fixed upon two sets of coordinates. One shone like a lighthouse—clear, stable, and
Chapter 125: Beyond the Chessboard — The Call from an Unknown World
Viridian’s will hovered like a dead and silent universe—vast, cold, and infinitely deep. He was ready. Ready to face the final judgment of the Void, ready to push this war that had devoured the stars to its ultimate conclusion.Yet just as he prepared to turn his will into the first blade to pierce the heart of the Void, a tremor rippled through the soul-link that bound him to Lilith.It wasn’t an alarm.It wasn’t danger.It was something far more delicate—something distant, almost trembling.Viridian’s consciousness plunged into the link.He could see it clearly now: Lilith’s radiant “Primordial Core” was releasing two distinct pulses of resonance. One was bright and steady, like a lighthouse in an endless sea, pointing directly toward the coordinates of the “Primordial Land”—the home of creation itself.The other... was faint, elusive, and heartbreakingly fragile.
Chapter 124: Unification of Laws — The Perfect Cycle of Termination and Origin
Viridian’s will withdrew from the battlefield where laws intertwined.Like the retreat of a tide, it faded silently, returning to the sealed chamber of the Saint Abyss Workshop.His body remained seated upon the metal throne, utterly motionless, as though he had never left.Yet his soul-core had undergone a transformation so vast it could no longer be measured by mortal standards.The wrath of [The Void] loomed above him like a storm of cosmic darkness—cold, suffocating, and filled with murderous intent that pressed against his awareness like the weight of infinity.Viridian ignored it.He closed his eyes calmly and began counting his spoils.A siege meant to hunt down three of the Apocalypse Knights had, in the end, become a grand feast—one devoured entirely by him.The authority of Pestilence, the law governing disease and decay, coiled within his soul like gray, venomous vines.The authority of Annihilation, born from the Inquisitor’s power to erase concepts themselves, rested like
Chapter 123: Requiem of Death — The Symphony of Origin and Termination
Viridian’s will stood like the coldest of spectators, observing a symphony of laws he himself had orchestrated.At the heart of the secret outpost, the battlefield had transcended matter, becoming a clash of concepts.From Lilith’s small frame, pure light of [Origin] poured forth endlessly. Around the Apocalypse Knight of Death, shadows of [Termination] coiled and thickened.The two forces intertwined with violent intensity.Yet there was no explosion. No thunderous roar.This was no brawl of destruction.Lilith’s awakening had not chosen resistance. She had chosen embrace.The light of Origin spread like a tide, gentle yet irresistible, flowing across Death’s domain. It did not purify darkness. It declared the existence of light.For the first time, the Apocalypse Knight of Death found his law confronted by an opponent that made no sense.His essence was deletion.Lilith’s essence wa
