I Have a Sailing Game

Chapter 387 - 243: Reality? Lamp of the Dying

It should greatly enhance Gelin.

However, Rogel doesn’t plan to use it right now.

He plans to use it once he’s on Magrela Island.

"Keep it for later."

Rogel put it away.

After gently patting the leaves of the Exotic Grape Species, he turned and left the planting area, returning to his room.

Then, he took out the Cave Key obtained in the Lava Rock Prison.

Now, he finally has spare time to explore this new cave.

"Let’s see first, if the monsters inside are of low level, I’ll leave them for Lina to grind levels."

Rogel thought as he used the Cave Key.

...

The transition darkness on the screen gradually disappeared.

The game character stood up from the floor.

Only then did Rogel take a good look at his surroundings.

At this moment, he seemed to be in a closed room.

In the four corners, hanging were four oil lamps, casting a very dim light in the room.

Rogel controlled the game character to explore the room for a while but found no exit or door.

There was only one interactive option.

This was a lamp shining with white light.

Unlike the surrounding oil lamps, inside it was a free-floating light point like a firefly, drifting while also providing illumination.

[Would you like to enter the Lamp of the Dying?]

[Yes/No]

Lamp of the Dying?

What is this? Is this cave trying out a new trick?

After saving the game, Rogel clicked confirm.

Upon Rogel making the choice, the game character sat cross-legged in front of the white lamp, then slowly extended his hand.

The free-floating light point inside the white lamp gradually drifted out, landing in the palm of his hand.

The pure white light slowly blossomed, eventually gradually enveloping the entire mobile screen...

...

[You’ve entered a special location.]

[In this area, your original Tier, abilities, and Skills are temporarily locked.]

[You will experience the next story from a brand-new character perspective.]

[During this process, your main task is exploration, and after completion, you’ll receive rewards based on your exploration degree.]

After the white light dissipated.

The contents on Rogel’s game screen changed.

His original game character vanished, replaced by a slender young girl in a white cleric robe.

"?"

Rogel was momentarily stunned.

Then his eyes lit up, he tried controlling the game character.

He found that this game character indeed followed his actions, forward when he moved forward, backward when he moved backward...

"Damn, why is freedom so limited?"

Rogel regretted a bit.

Then he tried switching to True Perspective.

[Unable to toggle to True Perspective in current state, please exit the area first.]

Seeing this, Rogel felt somewhat helpless.

Seems there’s no way to experience what playing a female character feels like.

After dismissing this notion, Rogel began examining his surroundings.

She seemed to be in a small dark room or a Detention Room now, with only a bed and a few small windows on the wall, nothing else.

"Is she imprisoned?"

Rogel pondered.

After a moment, he decided to open the info panel for a look.

[Title: Sela]

[Level: 5]

[Body: 5]

[Spirit: 5]

[Faith: 9]

[Tier: None]

[Special Skills: Wolf Spirit Manifestation lv3.]

The info panel could be viewed, but beneath Special Skills, the Life Skills had disappeared.

However, Sela still had a special skill, which should be a summoning skill.

Then, he started exploring around.

But found nothing.

Indeed, a small dark room is just a small dark room, nothing at all.

The only door was tightly closed from the outside.

Rogel was puzzled, does he have to find a way to escape himself?

Maybe that’s actually the case.

After all, he can’t stay here forever.

"Let’s try this Wolf Spirit Manifestation."

Rogel planned to use the skill to see if he could break the door and leave.

[Lacking necessary equipment, skill cannot be used.]

"..."

Rogel was speechless.

This must be Prayer, and without the Mark, it can’t be used.

This was quite a headache for Rogel.

No Mark means no skill usage.

Could it be that Sela, this little girl, has to punch down the door directly?

You wouldn’t believe it, but Rogel really tried.

As you might expect, it unsurprisingly didn’t work, useless.

While Rogel was pondering other escape methods, suddenly there was some movement in the game.

With a clatter, a hole appeared in the ground behind Sela.

A little figure crawled out of it.

Meanwhile, there were sounds from outside, seemingly a large group of people running, mixed with some roaring.

"Quickly, Sela."

Then, two options appeared in front of Rogel.

[Go into the tunnel/Stay put]

Rogel was surprised.

Then he saved the game without hesitation and clicked "Go into the tunnel."

Upon making the choice, the two little figures entered the tunnel, and the screen went black.

Moments later, Rogel appeared outside a city.

The little figure who helped Sela escape also began speaking, with her name appearing in the dialogue box.

Daomai: "The Church’s Tooth Spirit Knight has invaded the castle, victory is within our grasp."

At this, Sela automatically spoke.

Sela: "With the Tooth Spirit’s shelter, we shall certainly achieve final victory."

[Exploration Degree: 5%]

Then, Rogel’s screen went black again, the scene changing once more.

He was somewhat surprised.

He barely did anything, just followed the person ahead into the tunnel and had a conversation, yet gained exploration degree?

Though the exploration degree is way too little.

Frowning in thought for a while, Rogel loaded the saved game.

This time, he chose [Stay put].

Sela: "Daomai, you go ahead, I want to stay and prove my choice is right with action."

Daomai hesitated for a moment then said: "Alright, but be careful and avoid getting caught up in the war."

"Here, take this."

Saying that, Daomai handed her something.

[You acquired: Tooth Spirit Totem×1.]

[You can now use the character’s Special Skills.]

Having said that, Daomai turned and left.

Sela sat back on the bed.

"The freedom of this choice should be higher, maybe I’ll earn some rewards or something."

"Let’s go out and see first."

Rogel immediately decided to use the special skill to see if he could leave this place.

This time, under Rogel’s control, Sela successfully used the totem in her hand to summon a semi-transparent little white wolf.

"Break the door."

Rogel ordered it.

The wolf spirit loyally followed Rogel’s command.

Bang bang bang!

The little wolf spirit continuously rammed into the prison door.

Moments later, accompanied by a poof, the little wolf spirit dispersed into smoke.

The prison door remained motionless.

"..."

Rogel was exasperated.

What kind of nonsense was this, such a weak little wolf spirit, what use is it?

Still can’t get out, right?

Rogel took a deep breath.

The sounds outside the room were getting louder, the clash of swords, knocking, fighting sounds, growing more intense.

Seems no matter which path, the war will continue.

After waiting for a while without any movement, Rogel couldn’t help but look at the tunnel on the ground.

Although he chose to stay put, since he can control Sela, this tunnel...

After pondering for a moment, Rogel manipulated Sela to enter the tunnel.

Then, the screen blacked out.

Moments later, Sela reencountered the previous Daomai.

She seemed to be guarding the tunnel entrance.

Daomai: "Weren’t you going to prove them? Why come out from here?"

Sela: "..."

Daomai: "Nevermind, it’s not important, the Church’s Tooth Spirit Knight has invaded the castle, victory is within our grasp."

"..."

[Exploration Degree: 5%]

Rogel covered his face.

Seems, the tunnel path only yields a five-percent exploration degree no matter what.
