End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

After reaching level 10 with the "Gluttony" skill, an active devouring effect was unlocked.

If Jeremy actively devours an enemy, there's a chance he will acquire a certain trait from them.

Moreover, Jeremy could clearly feel that his rate of absorbing soul essence had increased significantly.

At his current absorption rate, he could enhance his mental attributes by at least 300 points per day!

If others knew about this, their jaws would drop.

Because this is almost equivalent to a piece of platinum-grade equipment of blue quality!

In other words, staying here for a day was like obtaining a piece of platinum-grade equipment.

And this enhancement continued to increase as he got closer to the core of the Land of Death!

Jeremy closed the interface and gazed into the distance.

The sky was dimly lit, and through the edge of the Death Desert, a vast, majestic mountain range could be faintly seen.

Rays of light emanated from behind the mountains, making it seem like another world compared to the darkness of the Death Desert.

As Jeremy looked towards the mountains, a notification from The Eye of Omniscience appeared before him.

[Note: Sunrise Mountains, Recommended Level: 40-60!]

There was still some distance to the Sunrise Mountains.

Jeremy didn't waste any time and quickened his pace.

...

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Capital Presidential Palace.

The meeting room was considerably more crowded than before.

Not only had the heads of major departments arrived, but even the military marshal, Daniel, was present.

Matters concerning the lives of one billion people were at stake, and everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.

At this moment, everyone was watching the messages being relayed back from those who had entered the Land of Eternal Night.

As each piece of information was projected onto the screen, the faces of Edgar and the others grew increasingly grave.

The environment in the instance was extremely harsh. Out of the one thousand federal official players, at least three hundred had lost contact within 24 hours of entering the instance.

It's important to note that these were not ordinary players but elite members of the Federation who had undergone rigorous training and selection.

It hadn't been long, yet a third of them were already dead.

Despite their worst-case scenario planning, the difficulty of the instance exceeded their expectations.

Zachary set down the organized information and sighed, "It's only the first day of the event, and so many have already died. I'm afraid normal players won't last 10 days."

Zachary was Benjamin's sibling from the same mother. He was not only the head of the White Family but also the Director of the Intelligence Bureau.

Marshal Daniel, who was standing nearby, frowned and said, "The main reason for such severe casualties is that the monster levels in the Land of Death are too high. The lowest level is 20, and in some areas, monsters reach level 50. This is beyond what ordinary players can handle."

The expressions on everyone's faces were heavy.

The average player level was still below 20. Aside from some higher-level players, it was nearly impossible for ordinary players to survive against these monsters.

Daniel sighed, "We can only hope that someone among them clears the instance soon. Otherwise, many people will likely be trapped there forever."

Even as he said this, everyone knew in their hearts that the chances were very slim.

Surviving in the Death Desert is already a challenge, let alone venturing into the core of the Land of Death and clearing the Tower of Exile.

For a moment, the meeting room fell silent, and a heavy weight seemed to press down on everyone's hearts.

Just then, new information was transmitted from the instance.

[Jeremy has passed through the Death Desert and reached level 35!]

This brief message sent a shockwave through everyone in the room!

Excitement spread across their faces.

Jeremy had actually made it through the Death Desert?!

Someone exclaimed, "Good boy, we didn't misjudge him. He crossed the Death Desert so quickly!"

Edgar, elated, added, "If he can maintain this pace, he might actually have a chance to clear it within 10 days."

Hope ignited in everyone's hearts.

...

Meanwhile, at the Lannisters' mansion in the Imperial Capital, Kean also received news about Jeremy.

"Damn it!" He gripped his teacup tightly, his expression turning incredibly grim.

If Jeremy hadn't seized the divine artifact from him, he wouldn't have such terrifying power.

Originally, Kean had plans to reclaim the divine artifact from Jeremy.

Now that Jeremy had entered the Land of Eternal Night, even if Kean wanted to make a move, he couldn't.

This left Kean feeling extremely frustrated.

The exquisite teacup in his hand shattered.

Kean's eyes were filled with murderous intent, his expression icy as he muttered, "You think entering the instance means I can't get to you?"

Immediately, Kean called for his butler, Farmer, and ordered, "Find out if Jeremy has any family or friends in the Moonlight City. Locate them!"

...

In the Land of Death, as Jeremy quickened his pace, he drew closer to the Sunrise Mountains.

A swift figure darted across the Death Desert.

The surrounding monsters didn't even have time to react before the figure had already left them far behind.

The Sunrise Mountains, although appearing close, were actually quite distant.

Even at Jeremy's full speed, it took him several hours to reach them.

As he approached the Sunrise Mountains, Jeremy finally realized their immense scale.

The vast, majestic mountain range stood tall in the desert, resembling a colossal beast ready to devour anyone, blocking all sunlight outside its bounds.

Within the mountains, lush trees soared into the sky, occasionally punctuated by the roars of beasts from the forest.

The dim forest seemed like a gaping maw of the abyss, instilling fear in the hearts of onlookers.

When Jeremy reached the foot of the Sunrise Mountains, he sensed a noticeable increase in his soul essence absorption rate, gaining more mental attributes than before.

Gazing at the dark forest ahead, Jeremy drew out his Bone spear and, without hesitation, stepped inside.

Upon entering the mountains, the howling wind vanished instantly.

The entire forest was eerily silent and incredibly dark, resembling the night, with only vague outlines of trees and rocks visible.

Jeremy raised his eyes to survey his surroundings.

The Sunrise Mountains were a level 40-60 instance, with some monsters that even he couldn't easily handle, requiring utmost vigilance.

As he walked through the shadowy forest, Jeremy could feel his presence attracting the attention of several monsters.

Their crimson eyes, filled with hunger and greed, slowly approached him.

Jeremy's expression remained unchanged, as if he was completely unaware.

Sensing no immediate danger from Jeremy, some of the monsters started to get restless.

"Swish!"

Before Jeremy had walked much further, he suddenly felt a malicious wind at his back.

A massive black python, over ten meters long, descended from the trees like a lightning bolt, its gaping maw aiming for Jeremy's neck!

"Can't wait for it?" Jeremy sneered. As the black python lunged at him, his spear emitted a dark red glow, and a violent aura burst forth.

" Disaster Blade!"

Facing the ambush from behind, Jeremy shifted slightly, twirling his spear and thrusting with tremendous force.

The Bone spear cut a cold, white arc through the darkness, striking the black python behind him.

" Poof!"

Foul-smelling blood sprayed everywhere!

Jeremy stood tall, his spear impaling the terrifying black python!

The massive snake, over ten meters long, had been killed instantly by Jeremy's single strike through its head!

[You have slain level 43 "Black-Scaled Python" and gained 32,849 experience points!]

Jeremy flicked his spear, sending the python's corpse flying into the darkness.

"Boom!"

In the silent forest, a deafening crash echoed as a massive tree was instantly shattered.

Amidst the flying wood chips, a three-eyed black panther, poised for an ambush, was revealed behind the fallen tree.

It hadn't anticipated Jeremy's sudden strike and, caught completely off guard, was sent flying by the tremendous force.

[Three-Eyed Black Panther (Elite)]

[Level]: LV45

[Attack]: 113,000 - 118,000

[Defense]: 12,736

[Skills]: Assassination, Stealth, Steel Blade...

[Note]: High speed, low defense, excels in stealth attacks. Weak point is the eyes. Killing it will yield a piece of diamond-grade equipment.

"Roar!"

The three-eyed black panther got up and roared angrily at Jeremy.

Baring its cold, sharp teeth, it charged at Jeremy with powerful strides.

Jeremy remained calm as the panther rushed toward him.

With a thought, a skeletal staff appeared in his other hand.

The next moment, a torrent of fiery serpents roared toward the black panther!

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion echoed through the forest.

In an instant, the ferocious dark red flames engulfed the three-eyed black panther.

"Roar!!!"

The three-eyed black panther let out a piercing wail, but no matter how much it thrashed about, the Flames of Sin clung to it like an unshakable curse, relentlessly scorching its body.

[You have slain level 45 "Black-Scaled Python" and gained 88,000 experience points!]

The smell of burnt flesh filled the forest.

At the same time, a golden light of leveling up enveloped Jeremy, raising him to level 36.

[You have reached level 36 and gained 40 free attribute points!]

[You have gained fixed class attributes: Strength +50, Spirit +50, Stamina +25, Agility +25!]
