(The final reward will be evaluated and given based on the individual’s various choices, depth of investigation, and various performances. As the route of investigation and exploration has not yet been chosen, a reward baseline cannot be given at this time.)

……

“Single-player mode… a unique progression format?

Just what the hell is the fate event I chose? Other than the type, the introduction, requirements, rewards are all unknown.

It’s completely different from the fate events I’ve experienced before.”

When Han Dong came to his senses, he was sitting upright in the spacious hall on the first floor of a villa…

Dressed in loose and warm pyjamas, he was holding a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and a remote control in the other…however, no matter what, the TV just wouldn’t turn on.

“Power outage?”

At this moment, the system prompt came.

“Single-player mode, plot guide activated.”

Pre-story Introduction to “Mist”:

You are a freelance writer who came to this beautiful remote American small town for an outdoor piece.

One day, a sudden storm hit the small town where you were staying, causing a large number of trees to fall, power facilities to paralyze, and signal base stations to be damaged.

The private house you temporarily rented was also damaged.

The horror story in the mist begins here… you will have 30 minutes of free activity time.

Han Dong immediately fell into thought.

“Plot guide… maybe there will be some compulsory requirements in the following actions.

Speaking of which, I’m quite familiar with the movie “Mist”. After all, I watched this movie in a film appreciation course during my undergraduate stage and even wrote a report on it.

I remember the main content of the movie was about the mist engulfing the small town, and some of the townspeople, including the protagonist, were trapped in the city’s supermarket, encountering the monsters in the mist.

The absolute fear and helplessness of being trapped in the mist were very well portrayed, and the human conflicts in desperate circumstances were quite good.

But, the movie also has some issues.

The ‘origin issue’ of the mist monsters is learned through a somewhat uncertain oral narration by a private.

It seems that the military was conducting some secret experiment on the other side of the mountain, originally intending to open a “window” to peek into another world, but actually opened a large door connecting to another world.

From the other side of the door came all kinds of indescribable horrors.

But is the actual truth like this? The movie did not give a clear answer.

And then, at the end of the movie.

The director deliberately wanted to create a sense of despair and powerlessness, and then an unexpected reversal… such a terrifying life form, how could it be controlled by the military in a short time?”

In Han Dong’s view, what is shown in the movie is only a very small part of the truth of the matter, and the story is far from over.

Just as Han Dong was quickly reviewing the movie plot.

Preparing to release the two summoned creatures in his brain to go through the fate event together.

“Huh…what’s going on?”

Han Dong could not sense the presence of the containment item… he couldn’t even make contact with the big brain.

“Due to the special nature of “Mist”, all abilities not sourced from the Fate Space are sealed.”

“Oh no!!”

The abilities from outside the city were an important support for Han Dong.

If the outside city abilities were blocked, Han Dong’s abilities would be greatly reduced… he couldn’t use the Little Demon Eye, couldn’t summon the two containment items, and couldn’t fuse with Duo Zeya.

This situation has never happened before in the fate events.

“However, with the progress of the investigation and exploration, part of your abilities can be used under specific conditions.”

“Huh? So many rules… can’t they all be said at once?” Han Dong couldn’t help but retort.

In the blink of an eye, five exquisite cards appeared on the coffee table, corresponding perfectly to Han Dong’s ‘sealed abilities’.

(1). Ability Card – [Demon Eye]

The jade-green border card was painted with a vertical single eye surrounded by weird formation texts. Through the change of gloss on the card surface, a ‘living eye’ eerie effect was created.

Consume 3 Omen Points for a duration of one hour.

Effect: The Demon Eye can help you dismantle the illusions in the mist, enhance the observation range, and discover the weaknesses of the monsters.

(2). Item Card – [Bone Feather Armor]

The white-bordered card was painted with a delicate black feather jacket.

Every use requires 1 Omen Point (lasts for 30 minutes), consuming 5 Omen Points at once permanently equips the item.

Effect: Provides full attribute protection ability and extra action ability.

(3). Ally Card – [Crowman]

The black-bordered card was painted with a terrifying crowman with two heads, squatting at the end of a tree branch.

Every summon requires 1 Omen Point, lasts for one hour. (If the ally dies during the summoning period, the card will be permanently deactivated and can’t be summoned again)

Description: The Crowman from Gaine Forest has outstanding detective skills but weak combat power.

(4). Summon Card – [Evil Woman]

The red-bordered exquisite card was painted with a red-dressed woman standing in the corner of a room, her kitchen knife gleaming with silver light.

Category: Human

Every summon requires 1 Omen Point, lasts for one hour. (When the summon is heavily wounded, it will disappear immediately. The corresponding card will enter a cooldown period and cannot be used for a period of time.)

(5). Summon Card – [Hell Raiser]

The lava-bordered card was painted with a bald man being whipped in the depths of Hell.

Category: Demon

Every summon requires 1 Omen Point, lasts for one hour. (When the summoned creature is heavily wounded, it will disappear immediately. The corresponding card will then enter a cooldown period and can’t be used for a period of time.).

“Hmm… this is barely alright, as long as it doesn’t completely seal my abilities, anything is acceptable. Otherwise, this fate event might truly become dangerous.”

Han Dong immediately tried to use the ability from the Fate Space.

Plague, Yellow Sand and some non-pollution-based Crow Abilities could all be used normally.

“Speaking of which, how do I acquire these [Omen Points] required to use the cards?”

Just at this moment, another mysterious item appeared on the coffee table… something like a black candy bag.

The first thing that came to Han Dong’s mind was that the candy bag might have something to do with the Omen Points.
