Chapter One Warmth

  "Alas, a group of poor kids." Lin Wu gazed at the computer and let out a soft sigh.

  Now he is playing a game called "Dungeon and Warriors", he just formed a team of three to brush the tragic cry, but unexpectedly only one was left in the first picture, this is not because their technology is poor, equipment is poor, but...

  "My god, I've been disconnected." Before long, Fatso's QQ avatar was flashing non-stop. Fatso and Lin Wu were the best of friends and had played this game together since its internal testing phase.

  "It's just a disconnection, calm down and say it's been a few years, who hasn't dropped a few times." Lin Wu replied to Pangzi.

  For Lin Wu's words, Fatso replied with a super large sweating emoji, "Alright, wait for me to finish this map, I'll accompany you to PK." Lin Wu took advantage of the monster's empty attack to reply.

  "Who doesn't know your name, sir? You're the number one swordsman in our district, the first person to reach the revered 10th level. I'm just a small fry, no match for you, I don't seek to be humiliated." Lin Wu's message had barely been sent when Fatso began chattering nonstop.

  Upon seeing the message from Fatso, Lin Wu cracked a faint smile. At this moment, he was engaged in a fierce battle with the demon sword of Wailing 2nd Diagram. As for Wailing, Lin Wu had long since become familiar with it; to him, even the King-level Wailing was child's play.

  With a light swing of his last sword, the demon sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound. As the demon sword fell, another demon sword appeared nearby. Lin Wu was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw the row of pink words: Demon Sword: Apophis.

  At that moment, Lin Wu felt a sense of being surrounded by happiness. He could even recite the attributes of this first weapon that had been hyped up on the forum, which was a symbol of RMB. Quickly taking a screenshot, Lin Wu sent it to Fatso at the first opportunity, and couldn't help but wonder "Hehe, Fatso will definitely be so shocked he'll spit blood when he sees it."

  As expected, after Fatso was silent for 5 seconds, Fatso's QQ avatar suddenly burst out, and the "beeping" sound instantly surrounded Lin Wu's ears.

  Ignoring the chubby kid's desperate reply, Lin Wu's character in the game arrived at the magic sword with a comfortable and controlled mood, lightly putting down X (item pick-up), however, Lin Wu's face suddenly stiffened, and he put down X again, still without any reaction.

  "No, it can't be." Lin Wu suddenly had a bad feeling, and the prompt box that popped up on the screen next confirmed his feeling.

  "Network connection interrupted..."

  "My grass!!" After seeing this line, which was called the six-word mantra by all players, Lin Wu suddenly burst out in anger. The feeling of being pulled out from happiness made him furious, and the furious Lin Wu violently grabbed a nearby water cup and smashed it towards the computer.

  "Bang!!" Along with a loud shattering sound from the computer screen, Lin Wu suddenly felt his whole body go numb and then lost consciousness.

  ……

  It is said that the magic sword in the game is exploded on the 4th map, but I'm not quite sure about this either. Having played for so long, I've never seen pink equipment, so I'm also unclear. This section is just an introduction, and everyone doesn't need to pursue it too much.

  "Devil, kill him." A voice full of disgust sounded in the darkness, and with that sound, a faint light flashed in the darkness, and a scene suddenly burst out.

  Lin Wu followed the sound and saw a group of 7 or 8-year-old children surrounding a frail figure, stones and wooden sticks flying from those children's hands towards the frail figure in the center.

  "Stop!!" Lin Wu shouted in anger, but suddenly he realized that he couldn't make a single sound, nor could he move.

  The sudden change made Lin Wu feel a sense of unease. "What's going on? Ah, I think I got electrocuted... and where is this place?"

  Just as Lin Wu was getting anxious, a furious roar suddenly rang out, "Run, the devil has gone mad." The children surrounding him heard the voice and scattered in all directions, screaming.

  As those children left, a boy of about 8 years old crouched on the ground, tightly hugging a gray object in his arms. "Woo~" Suddenly, the gray object in the boy's arms moved and let out a whimper, and a small gray dog crawled out from the boy's arms.

  The young man looked at the little grey dog with gentle eyes, but when he stretched out his hand, the little grey dog suddenly took on an attacking posture.

  The situation on the young man's side caught Lin Wu's attention, "This is..." Lin Wu looked at the young man's outstretched hand in surprise. It wasn't a normal person's hand, but a twisted blood-red arm, emitting a strong dark aura.

  "Ghost Hand!!" Lin Wu was of course very familiar with the appearance of this arm, it was exactly the cursed Ghost God's hand of the Ghost Swordsman in the game.

  Suddenly a melancholy breath passed into Lin Wu's mind, and he slightly stunned then looked towards the young man, only to see him withdraw his hand dejectedly.

  "Woof!" The little grey dog barked loudly at the young man before turning and running away.

  At the moment when the gray little dog turned around, a sharp arrow pierced its small body. A group of villagers in full armor held their weapons and stared at the young man with eyes filled with hatred: "He's an evil devil cursed by ghosts, kill him."

  But the young man's gaze was fixed on the dead gray puppy, and in a hoarse and low voice, he muttered: "Why, why do you have to treat me like this!!"

  "You're a cursed soul, a bringer of misfortune." Along with the youth's words, a sturdy figure swung a long sword and slashed towards him.

  Suddenly the entire space seemed to freeze, and then a demon covered in blood appeared, "Kill!!"

  With that word "kill" filled with cruelty, Lin Wu's mind suddenly shook violently, and a surge of hatred rushed towards him.

  When Lin Wu came to, a blood-soaked youth stood amidst the corpses, his apathetic eyes scanning the surroundings before slowly walking away.

  Then, the young man's growth process appeared in front of Lin Wu one after another. There was only killing, hatred and resentment in the young man's life.

  But there was an exception, that on a winter morning, the cold wind blew as the young man indifferently gazed at the city in front of him. Suddenly, a horse-drawn carriage stopped not far away, and several maids got off the horse, carrying food to distribute to the wandering beggars.

  However, the young man did not go to beg like other beggars. His eyes were filled with cold indifference, his heart was closed off, and this world was repulsive to him.

  "Why don't you go get some food?" A gentle and intoxicating voice sounded, the young man raised his head to look at the source of the sound.

  She was a young woman, wearing a simple but elegant white cotton-padded jacket, with skin as smooth and luminous as jade. Her face, absolutely beautiful, now radiated warmth and gentleness, and her presence seemed to dim the sky and earth.

  "It's so beautiful." Lin Wu murmured.

  "Here, take it quickly." The woman said, taking out a steamed bun wrapped in a handkerchief embroidered with golden roses and handing it to the young man.

  Looking at the steamed bun in the woman's hand, the indifference in the young man's eyes suddenly melted away, and a feeling that was hard to put into words surged through his heart.

  For the first time, the young man finally understood the meaning of warmth and for the first time felt the taste of being cared about.

  He stretched out his hand, the young man wanting to accept that warmth, but suddenly he thought of that ill-fated hand, and the young man withdrew it again, hiding his cursed right hand behind him.

  Seeing the boy's strange behavior, the woman was stunned for a moment, then grabbed his left hand and put the steamed bun in it.

  "Take it." The woman said softly.

  "Th...thank you......" He gently shook the hand that the woman had grasped, and the softness of her touch was like a gentle breeze soothing the pain in his heart. Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes as the young man thanked her in a voice that had not been used for a long time.

  "Live well and life will get better." The woman gently encouraged the young man.

  Looking at the distant carriage, the young man suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a firm light, following her, protecting her, and willing to pay anything for her. That warmth gave the young man hope, he wanted to guard that warmth.

  Then, the young man stepped out with his legs and chased after that hard-won warmth...

  Rushing out of the city, the young man ran in the direction where the horse carriage disappeared, traversing mountains and rivers. Finally, in a forest, the cursed ghost hand burst forth. The young man gazed up at the sky, and suddenly a faint smile appeared on his face, after which he ended his miserable life.

  Lin Wu let out a long sigh as he looked at the young man, his experiences had moved Lin Wu's heart with pain, yet also made him feel comforted that he was able to find that warmth in the last moments of his life.

  In a dense forest, a young man slowly opened his eyes, feeling the chaotic memories in his mind. The young man said softly: "Since I borrowed your body to be reborn, I will help you fulfill your wish and guard that warmth." As he spoke, the chaotic memories all disappeared into the depths of memory, and from this moment on, the miserable young man was gone, replaced by Lin Wu, who was reborn in another world through the body of this unfortunate young man.
