This is what’s known as a left-right swing, somewhat similar to a displacement, it can be considered a special [Movement] of a 2-square Giant Card.

The second flexible term, its utility is quite obvious.

It enables [Overlord Below] to start with a full charge.

A full charge is 5/5, and activating the active skill [Stele Suppression] requires 3 point energy.

Its [Seal] is already highly threatening because it can ignore outer cards and directly affect the outer card regardless of obstructions.

If you unveil a card with a full charge, it is akin to granting it instantaneousness.

Originally, because of its attributes, the overall mechanics of this card were slightly in conflict with its active skills, which made it somewhat awkward.

Because [Overlord Below] is a card that requires patience, it should not be revealed too early, it needs adequate time cycles.

And [Seal], being a critical control skill, is typically played in the second round after the opponent, leaving [Overlord Below] little time to develop.

Most crucially, it’s also a Determination Card.

Determination Cards, like Breakthrough Cards, require a warm-up to energize.

Moreover, Determination Cards warm up much more passively compared to Breakthrough Cards.

By the time [Overlord Below] accumulates 3 point energy, the card that needs to be [Sealed] on the opposing side may have already been eliminated, or one’s own card face has already collapsed.

Therefore, despite [Seal] being able to ignore obstacles, the opportunities to use it effectively are not as frequent.

Now, with this revelation and subsequent charging, it completely compensates for this shortcoming.

It’s as if [Overlord Below] has become both Determined and wise, extremely fierce.

Revealing the card with full health and mana, anyone would dread facing this.

Combined with the covered card skill of [Azure Dragon], it is simply incredible.

The final term belongs to the exclusive titles of [Gluttonous Dragon].

It does not accept any recovery effects, so only this type of maximum health increasing buffs can benefit it.

It already has 200 health, plus 50 points, making it 250 points.

Using its skill once consumes 40 points of its maximum health.

Without being attacked, 200 points can sustain the release of five skills.

With 250 points, it becomes a bit more powerful.

Releasing six skills consumes 240 points, resulting in 10/250.

That means, without taking hits, it can release seven times, which is two additional times.

After collecting these cards, Ree Shil’s Dragon Year rewards came to a conclusion.

Next, all he needs to do is wait for the next round of competition to start.

During the rest period, however, he received some good news.

That was the S-level material path to the Instance Crystal for [Higan Fairy] was delivered.

This Instance Crystal has a rather grandiose name.

[Instance Name: Immortal Land Struggle]

[Instance Participants: 1 person]

[Suitable Level: None]

[Time Ratio: 3:1]

[Follower card: 0, Equipment card: 0]

[Instance Tips: This crystal is a free crystal with no mission or time limit]

As he didn’t make any specific requests, the Association Headquarters thoughtfully provided him with a crystal without time limits or missions.

For Ree Shil, this was exactly what he wanted.

The time ratio of this world is 1:3, which isn’t considered very time-saving.

He’s also not clear about where that King God’s Tomb is and how long it will take to find it.

But it can be anticipated that it’s liable to be a relatively extensive mission.

So, Ree Shil rested for a few days, got a bottle of temporary leaving potion before entering the Instance.

Buzz...

With the entry into the crystal, he found himself in the familiar Pure White Space.

"This is interesting."

Such a scenario made him feel that this world might be slightly different.

Because normal Instances are only settled after the Instance has ended.

And the appearance of the Pure White Space before the formal entry into the Instance World has only happened during the Administrator’s concentrated training before; here, it was the second time.

[On a certain day in the year 2024 of the Continental Calendar, dark currents surged across the entire continent...]

At this time, a voice echoed in the Pure White Space.

To this, Ree Shil thought it was a bit odd.

Because, unlike the emotionless mechanical prompt voice that couldn’t distinguish gender before,

this voice was clearly brimming with humanity, and it was a female voice.

[Welcome, newcomer of this world].

At this moment, the owner of the voice appeared out of nowhere before him.

She was a fairy dressed in luxurious silk brocade.

"Oh, hi~".

Ree Shil wasn’t exactly drooling over the fairy but was new to such a situation and found it fresh.

However, the other party did not seem to be any real living entity; her face maintained a constant, unchanging smile, indifferent to his greeting.

[Please input your pseudo for the journey].

"It feels like playing an online game, let’s go with ’Great Fortune in the Dragon Year’."

[The pseudo has been confirmed, and I’m pleased to meet you,

Great Fortune in the Dragon Year].

"Huh?!"

[Next, please choose your initial character setup.

This time three panels popped up.

They were:]

[Genre][Profession][Talent]

"Really feels like playing a game."

Ree Shil was stunned.

After some thought, he opened the [Genre] option first.

Then he saw several familiar names.

"It seems the influence of Left Heart, the Lord God, runs deep. The so-called genres are these... Huh?"

But before he could finish his sentence, he noticed something was off.

This time, it was no longer the seven major branches.

Originally seven, now only five remained.

[Berserk Faction]: Using skills consumes Health Points

[Determined Faction]: Recover Energy when attacked

[Breakthrough Faction]: Recover Energy when attacking

[Wind Chasing Faction]: Recover Energy when moving

[Listening to the Wind Faction]: Recover Energy when stationary

As he opened the Panel, the fairy spoke up again.

[The energy recovery rate of each genre differs, with the Listening to the Wind Faction having the highest rate.

Please rest assured, there is no absolute strength or weakness between the different genres.

Our principle is to provide a good experience for players of every genre.]

"Hey, is this really a world set in an online game?"

Now he was sure that the creature in front of him was nothing more than an NPC.

But this wasn’t hard to adapt to, because many things in the card player Panel and quite a few Instance world settings were quite close to online games.

After a moment’s thought, Ree Shil eventually chose the relatively flexible Wind Chasing Faction.

[Wind Chasing Faction selected, do you confirm?]

"Confirmed."

[Selection complete, please continue with the other options.]

The Panel returned to how it was just now.

Next, he looked at the [Profession] option.

[Warrior][Knight][Fighter]

[Thief][Scholar][Hunter]

[Priest][Mage][Summon]

"Aren’t you saying it’s a world of immortals, but isn’t this a huge difference in style?"

Ree Shil couldn’t help but complain.

In a world of immortals, why were all the professions from Western fantasies, so awkwardly mixed.

Since the purpose of his journey was to touch someone else’s grave, he felt that [Thief] might be more suitable, so he selected it.

[Thief selected, do you confirm?]

"Confirmed."

[Selection complete, please continue with the other options.]

Following the [Genre], the [Profession] option also dimmed.

The last thing to choose was [Talents].

[Would you like to generate Talent options?]

"Confirmed."

[Talent construction complete, please make a selection.]

After a few seconds, the options appeared.

[Weeble]: You gain additional self-healing abilities

[Kassadin]: At Level 16, all your attributes double, but only at Level 16

[Vanguard of the Dead]: When you die, your soul’s movement speed increases

[Body Glows]: When you die, you leave a speed shrine at the place of death

[A’sharma Halberd]: Your agility is reduced, and your attacks include a health bonus

[Leave Everything to Fate]: Randomly generate a Talent

"Goodness, they all look so unserious.

Also, what is ’running soul’?"

[Would you like to refresh, available refreshes 3/3.]

"Give it a refresh."

After refreshing twice, Ree Shil didn’t see any particularly strong Talents at a glance.

On the contrary, there were many that looked unreliable.

After the last refresh, all the options turned into unreliable ones.

In a mix of laughter and tears, he had no choice but to select the [Random] option below.

[Leave Everything to Fate selected, do you confirm?]

"Confirmed."

[Selection complete, Talent is being randomly generated...]

After saying this, the NPC’s eyes began to look vacant.

As if she had half-crashed.

The wait this time was a bit longer, a full 30 seconds.

[Talent acquired, please check your personal Panel after officially entering.]

Her eyes regained their spark.

Hum!

A beam of light hit Ree Shil.

"Thanks."

However, he didn’t feel anything unusual.

...
