Chapter 314 - Cursed City (1) (1/2)

”Over there!” Auron pointed out at their eleven o'clock direction.

It was a big vast place with building rubble all over the areas. The place was as wide as a city. It was actually an ancient city.

Long ago, the city was prosperous and magnificent. It was one of the top cities in the kingdom back then. However, one day, due to some unknown reason, the people inside the city suddenly gone.

The kingdom had sent their people to investigate, but there was no clue at all. What's more, the kingdom had sent some people to live in that city for a while. Unfortunately, the people that were sent there also gone missing.

What made it weirder was that there were no screams or struggles when the people went missing. Moreover, the missing case only happened when a person stayed overnight inside the city. If someone remained outside the city, then he would be safe.

That was why no one wanted to stay near the city. And, the city got a nickname, Cursed City.

With no one wanted to manage the city, slowly, the city deteriorated. Moreover, an earthquake had happened in the past and destroyed the city. The building started to collapse. Of course, there wasn't any victim since no one lives there.

One year ago, the king had thought about revitalizing the city. The place was vast, but it was abandoned. It would be a massive loss for the kingdom.

The first step to revitalize the city was to investigate what caused the person who stayed in that city gone missing. After a long preparation, they had decided to revitalize the city starting this month.

However, due to the instability in the Bridge World and also the demonic monster appearance, the plan was postponed indefinitely.

But, all of it only what the NPC all this time had known. When Auron stepped inside the city, several notifications appeared.

[You have entered the Cursed City]

[A dark and mysterious power watching all of your actions]

[You have 06:10:20 to get out from this place]

[If you don't get out in time, you will suffer a mysterious death. The death penalty will be doubled]

A countdown timer showed in front of Auron. There were 6 hours left for him to leave the city. As the notification had stated, if a player didn't get out in time, then they would immediately die and sent back to the resurrection point. Moreover, they would lose two levels because of the death penalty.

Even for high leveled players or the maxed leveled players, they would also die when they could not get out in time. At first, the players didn't know about this and tried to experience this.
