Chapter 0002: The Dimensional Codex

In fact, to put it simply, the matter is not complicated. The small noble family where he is staying possesses a secret treasure. Not long ago, a group of knights from the Holy Kingdom approached this small noble, claiming that the treasure passed down through his family was an evil and ominous entity, demanding that he surrender it. Naturally, the small noble was unwilling and simply drove the knights away. Initially, he did not think much of it, but what they did not expect was that on the very night they were expelled, this group of knights launched a surprise attack on their estate, resulting in a massacre.

Not only did they kill our comrades, but they also desecrated their bodies and souls! Such behavior is absolutely unforgivable! In the name of the Goddess of Order, we will never allow our comrades to die in vain! Justice will ultimately be served!

Dimension point count: 0

This young nobleman named Williams, merely a minor knight, had never encountered such a scene before and was naturally frightened, immediately fleeing with his family's secret treasure. Initially, he had hoped to enter the city to seek assistance from other noble families, but instead learned that the Holy Kingdom had publicly announced that the Williams family was colluding with a cult, branding them as enemies of order and issuing a bounty for their capture

This is the dimensional codex that Fangzheng obtained after arriving in this world

The process of the treasure being damaged is hardly worth mentioning. Faced with the pursuing soldiers of the Holy Kingdom, Williams planned to take a desperate gamble by activating the treasure for a mutually destructive outcome. However, it is unclear whether the issue lay in the specific steps or if he was simply unlucky. When Williams infused his magical power into the treasure, it shattered with a "bang," and he immediately fainted—then it was Fang Zheng's turn to make an appearance.

When the brilliance of the morning sun emerged from the other side of the horizon, Fang Zheng finally sorted out the memories in his mind and clarified the sequence of events.

My sister, what have you discovered

Naturally, the Williams family was also involved in some dirty and dark dealings behind the scenes. According to Fang Zheng's perspective, even without the Holy Kingdom acting on behalf of justice, by the laws of his world, this family would be deserving of execution a hundred times over.

Fang Zheng had indeed considered hiding in the task world and not coming out. However, he was well aware that he had set a time limit for each stay in the task world. Moreover, just like the soul stone, every time Fang Zheng exited the task world, the teleportation function would enter a cooldown state and would only be activated after a certain period. Therefore, Fang Zheng could neither remain hidden in the task world indefinitely nor evade the pursuit of the Holy Church and the Doomsday Sect by continuously executing tasks.

And most importantly, this is the game system designed by Fang Zheng before his rebirth

Looking at this task prompt, Fang Zheng couldn't help but grind his teeth. He already understood that the so-called soul power mentioned here likely referred to human souls. To complete this task would mean that Fang Zheng had to kill one thousand people...! This is not just a thousand pigs! Even if a thousand pigs lined up for him to slaughter, he probably wouldn't finish in a day!

This is a new mobile game currently under development, titled "Codex of Dimensions". In this game, players assume the role of a young individual, with gender and avatar selection being customizable. According to the game's narrative, players will be drawn into a temporal vortex for some reason, and upon awakening, they will find themselves in a completely new world. Here, players will encounter a large book called "Codex of Dimensions", thus beginning their new journey.

Perception: D (Being observant in all directions and attentive to everything around you is a fundamental operation for you)

In contrast, although he himself possesses some abilities, Fang Zheng believes that he is absolutely inadequate in the face of magic and those extraordinary swordsmanship skills. As for this reborn body? Hehe, Fang Zheng has already realized that this Williams only has the strength of a squire knight, and the so-called Doomsday Sect he believes in has not granted him any divine blessings or similar powers. If nothing unexpected happens, then based on what Fang Zheng has seen before, one of those knights could easily defeat ten of him.

Upon thinking of this, Fang Zheng raised his hand, and with his movement, the previously magnificent and heavy tome reappeared once more. It was only at this moment that Fang Zheng carefully observed the large book that had materialized in his hand. It appeared to be as thick as a dictionary, yet surprisingly felt as light as a feather in Fang Zheng's grasp. The dark, heavy cover displayed a luxurious gem, radiating a spectrum of colors, embedded in its center. Surrounding this gem, silver circles radiated outward, resembling the orbits of planets swirling in the cosmos.

Another method is to fully activate the power of the Soul Stone. During the activation period, Fang Zheng can utilize all the abilities possessed by this existence, and it is nearly indistinguishable from the original version. It is as if the true power of the Lich King, which he previously demonstrated in battles against those knights, is now at his disposal. In the presence of that King of the Scourge, even the regular knights of the Holy Kingdom appear so fragile and vulnerable.

Equipped Skills: None

This cursed sword yearns to devour souls filled with suffering, and all you need to do is satisfy its desire—Frostmourne, hungry (The holder is required to obtain no less than 1000 soul power in the next task world. A successful completion will yield a random reward of +1, while failure will result in the holder being cursed by Frostmourne, with a countdown of 24 hours)

As one turns the pages of the book, one can see their name at the top of the page. In the center, there is a recess, and at this moment, a beautiful white gem is embedded within that recess, surrounded by a cold frost mist that imparts a sense of chill to its surface

Riding atop a Pegasus, a man dressed similarly to the silver knight previously seen by Fang Zheng carefully gazed at the ground and then quietly inquired. Upon hearing his question, the female knight riding on another Pegasus closed her eyes, sensed for a moment, and then shook her head.

In the game, after obtaining the "Codex of Dimensions," players will become a "Dimension Mage." As the name suggests, this is a mage who travels through various dimensional worlds. They can use this codex to teleport to different dimensional planes to complete a variety of tasks in order to earn dimensional points. These points can be used to summon soul stones that contain the "power of beings with strong souls from other planes," or to enhance the attributes of these soul stones themselves.

Looking at this cover that was too familiar, Fang Zheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Previously, he had only speculated, but now he could be certain—this was indeed the system he had developed and manufactured

According to Williams' recollection, the family outwardly professed faith in the Goddess of Order, yet in reality, they were devout followers of a cult known as "The Day of Destruction." This cult believes in the end of all things, claiming that one day, everything in the world will be destroyed, including the deities themselves. At that time, the God of Destruction will resurrect and rule the world. The followers of this cult are tasked with weakening the power of those who serve the Order as much as possible, in anticipation of the return of the God of Destruction, among other trivial matters.

Upon realizing this, Fang Zheng no longer hesitated. With a sharp clap, he closed the dimensional codex in his hands and murmured to himself. Soon, the thick dimensional codex in his hand suddenly transformed into a series of luminous rings, surrounding Fang Zheng within them. In the next moment, Fang Zheng's figure vanished in an instant, and the scattered rings quickly dissipated, turning into specks of light dust that disappeared without a trace

Executor: Fang Zheng

[Equip Soulstone: Arthas]

At the bottom of the interface, there are three options: [Summon], [Enhance], and [Teleport]

At this point, the man forcefully waved his hand

What he never expected was that not only did he die just like that, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had actually been reborn into another world

At this moment, what Fangzheng is equipped with is the soul stone he obtained during his first "Newbie Summon"—the Lich King Arthas

The events that occurred to the owner of this body, which has been reborn, left Fang Zheng at a loss for words

There is also this dimensional teleportation

Not long after Fangzheng disappeared, a flurry of wing flapping sounds arose, followed by the sight of several winged, pure white Pegasus descending from the sky, landing in the place where Fangzheng had previously hidden.

What is even more frustrating is that, through absorbing Williams' memories, Fang Zheng helplessly discovered that not only had he become a notorious wanted criminal in the Holy Church's nation, but he could no longer stay with the Doomsday Sect either. The reason is quite simple: according to Williams' memories, the so-called sect's treasure had already been damaged by him during his escape!

First of all, he indeed died. This left Fang Zheng at a loss for words. All along, Fang Zheng considered himself a cautious person. He always made it a habit to prepare for various unexpected risks. From breaking up with his girlfriend to the bankruptcy of his company, from cash flow disruptions to partners absconding with funds, from being targeted by robbers to encountering a drunk driver while crossing the street. Fang Zheng meticulously considered all kinds of risks and potential accidents, and made corresponding preparations. He liked this life where everything was under control; responding to change with constancy had always been Fang Zheng's philosophy of dealing with the world, and it was precisely for this reason that he could achieve the success he has today

The cursed cultist

Exclusive Task: The Curse of Frostmourne

As the producer of this game, Fang Zheng is certainly aware of how to use the Soul Stone. There are two ways to utilize the Soul Stone. One is to simply "embed" it in the Dimensional Codex like this, which allows Fang Zheng to obtain a permanent buff. This buff can only provide Fang Zheng with a certain degree of enhancement, unless he uses dimensional points to enhance the Soul Stone, thereby gradually acquiring new abilities and skills for use, similar to leveling up in the game.

Agility: D (Being faster than others is always advantageous)

A night has passed

Apart from enhancing his own strength, he had no other options. Moreover, Fang Zheng had a premonition that if he did not go to the instance now, he might never be able to escape again

Attraction: D (As long as one is not blind, they will notice your external beauty)

Ah...

The Holy Kingdom holds a revered position on this continent, while a minor noble like Williams is merely a small fish in a vast sea, naturally unable to be compared with it. In desperation, they had no choice but to continue their flight, but unexpectedly, they ultimately could not escape the pursuit of the Holy Kingdom and met their demise here

Gain: Undying Monarch (50% increase in detection of undead creatures, 50% increase in damage to undead creatures, 50% increase in protection against undead creatures)

And his intuition has always been very accurate

However, it is fortunate that in this world, while everything may be lacking, unexpected events are never in short supply

But to ask him to give up this task? Hehe... Fang Zheng has played World of Warcraft before, so how could he not know how terrifying this sword is? The curse of Frostmourne, if he can withstand it, then it would be a miracle.

Upon thinking of this, Fang Zheng felt an immense headache. Others who traverse are either characters with deep-seated grudges or protagonists with hidden attributes. Why did he have to end up as a despised cultist that everyone wants to strike down?

I did not sense any presence, my friend, I believe the other party has already left this place

Upon hearing the female knight's response, the man clenched his fist tightly

But what Fang Zheng did not expect was that the world is always so wonderful, filled with all sorts of unexpected events that he could not imagine

We shall proceed and continue the search; that cultist cannot have gone far! He must be nearby, search for him!

How did I end up reincarnating into such a body?

You deserve to be hunted for a lifetime

Unfortunately, although the activation mode appears to be quite exhilarating, it comes with many limitations. Firstly, once activated, there will be a temporary cooldown period, similar to a skill cooldown. Secondly, there is a limit to the number of activations; for instance, the soul stone of 【Arthas】 summoned by Fangzheng can only be activated a total of five times. Once the activation count is exhausted, the soul stone of 【Arthas】 will completely collapse and disappear. Additionally, there is a limit to the number of activations; for this instance, the soul stone of 【Arthas】 summoned by Fangzheng can only be activated a total of five times, and once the activation count is exhausted, the soul stone of 【Arthas】 will completely collapse and disappear.

For instance, when he jumped into the river to save someone, Fang Zheng never imagined that after successfully rescuing the person and watching them leave in the ambulance, he would be struck directly by a suddenly severed high-voltage wire above his head

Looking at the panel before him, Fang Zheng let out a long sigh. If possible, he truly did not want to complete this task. After all, no one knew which world the system would take him to. However, Fang Zheng was well aware that if he did not go, with his current strength, as soon as someone from the Holy Church Kingdom arrived, he would only be left with the option of surrendering.

Moreover, through William's memories, Fang Zheng learned that this is a world with a highly developed system of power. In this world, there are not only magic and knights, but also various monsters and beings such as dragons and undead. Not to mention the deities and their messengers! Unlike the religions in Fang Zheng's world that are merely deceitful and money-grabbing, the sects here truly have divine backing.

From the perspective of Fang Zheng, the third party, it is undoubtedly believed that this Holy Teaching Nation must be one that appears virtuous on the surface, yet is filled with male thieves and female prostitutes who enjoy playing with young boys behind the scenes. However, after absorbing the memories of this young noble, Fang Zheng was dismayed to discover that the assassination order under this Holy Teaching Nation was indeed not unjust towards him at all

Constitution: E (When a person is killed, they will die)

This is really troublesome

Swish ... ... swish ... ...

However, what puzzled Fang Zheng was that he did not know how he had drawn this item, because Fang Zheng clearly remembered that he had only completed the main framework and settings of the system. As for the soul stones and other task dimensions within it, Fang Zheng had not completed them at all, and the programming team had not started working on them either. But why was he able to summon the soul stone through this unfinished product, and it was the soul stone of the Lich King?

Strength: E (You are no different from ordinary people)

One can imagine that if the day of one's destruction were to come and one were found by the cult, and one could not produce that secret treasure, then there would truly be no way out. Cults, regardless of the world, are the same; they employ all kinds of torture, endlessly and inexhaustibly, leaving one unable to live or die. ... Thinking this way, perhaps being captured by the Holy Church would be better; at least they would grant you a swift end with a single stroke of the sword

In this case, Fangzheng can only choose either to summon other soul stones again or... there is nothing left but to wait for death
