Chapter 417 -417-Task 3, Interesting
Caelan remained excited for quite a while before finally calming his emotions.
At the same time, he focused his attention on his final [Class Mutation Request].
[Task 3: Inverted World. Rule Task.]
[Description: You need to enter the Void Frontier and participate in the Instance: [Legendary Adventure of the Inverted World].]
When Caelan saw this description, he was slightly stunned.
Wait.
What the hell?
[Legendary Adventure of the Inverted World]?
Why had he barely heard of this Instance before?
Subconsciously, he opened his communicator and began searching for information related to this Instance.
However, what he had never expected was that the introduction to this Instance was extremely simple, and the number of reviewers was pitifully low.
There was only one thing that could be confirmed.
The death rate of this Instance was terrifyingly high!
[Legendary Adventure of the Inverted World]
[Content: You will find yourself in an Inverted World. Everything you encounter may be reversed. Be careful. Do not let other beings discover that you are a normal person, or you will die a miserable death.]
???
Caelan immediately frowned.
Based on his experience clearing Instances during this period, conceptual Instances like [Legendary Adventure of the Inverted World] usually had extremely difficult clearing conditions.
Aside from requiring sufficient hard power, they also demanded enough imagination and luck.
He subconsciously wanted to search for more guides.
In the end, he really did find a forum that resembled a survivor discussion camp.
However, after seeing the comments on it, a strange expression appeared on Caelan’s face.
"Someone save me! I got taken advantage of by a bunch of old ladies! The worst part is, I don’t dare resist, or I’ll be drowned in a pig cage! Why is the status of men in this world so low?!"
"Help! I never want to rob a bank again! I just want to honestly be a law-abiding citizen! Why do they have to sentence me to death? Wait, is this even right?"
"Brother upstairs, how did you make the word ’trash’ sound so fresh and refined? Trying to be a law-abiding citizen in the Inverted World? You’re clearly just weak as hell!"
"The feeling of morals, law, and order... tsk, tsk, how familiar. I love this world. I love Los Santos!"
...
The messy and chaotic comments made Caelan seriously suspect that the awakeners who had participated in this Instance had gone insane.
Why did it feel like their minds had already broken?
But from another perspective, this was enough to prove how terrifying this Instance was.
After all, its persistently high death rate was right there.
A 76% death rate almost placed it among the ranks of extremely difficult Instances.
However, relying only on these comments was still not enough for Caelan to gain a complete understanding of [Legendary Adventure of the Inverted World].
After all, the most important thing required to clear this Instance was to understand its underlying rules.
After a full half hour of intense summarizing, Caelan more or less summarized several patterns of [Legendary Adventure of the Inverted World].
For example, after entering the Inverted World, a task and a world would be randomly assigned.
Only by completing the task could one clear the Instance.
However, this kind of clearance was only clearance in the ordinary sense. It would not grant the true reward of the Instance.
Moreover, different assigned worlds had different types of inversion.
For example, the comments mentioned many kinds of Inverted Worlds, such as worlds where women were superior and men were inferior, chaotic worlds, underground walkers, and so on.
Based on the intelligence currently available, the inversion rules of the Inverted World actually had very high priority.
It was common for many awakeners to enter the same Inverted World.
The only difference was that their tasks were different.
Some were very simple, while others were extremely difficult to complete.
Of course, different tasks also meant different rewards.
Aside from the tasks assigned at the beginning, one could also accept other tasks inside the Inverted World.
In addition, no matter which Inverted World it was, as long as one’s identity as a normal person was discovered, it would count as complete failure.
After that, the monsters within the Instance would surround and attack them until they died.
Caelan narrowed his eyes.
He immediately felt that [Legendary Adventure of the Inverted World] was not going to be easy.
However, the most frustrating part was that he could not even make proper preparations in advance.
There was no way to determine what kind of Inverted World he would enter.
Everything was full of randomness.
Just then, his communicator vibrated several times in succession once again.
Caelan immediately came back to his senses. His figure flashed, and he vanished from where he stood.
He had almost forgotten the important matter.
Caesar, Otto, and the others were still waiting for him!
Caelan’s figure instantly appeared outside the office door of the Ironclad Legion’s commander.
However, at this moment, his mind was still thinking about something else.
He kept feeling that the Instance [Legendary Adventure of the Inverted World] was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Also, the "him" from another timeline seemed a little off.
Why would he tell Caelan the truth this early?
Caelan rubbed the space between his brows.
Then his mind ran through countless deductions.
In the end, he arrived at the greatest possibility.
What the other "him" truly wanted to say might be hidden behind these truths!
It was only because of some special reason that he could not directly remind Caelan.
That was why he had chosen to remind him by telling him the truth.
But...
What could possibly be more important than the truth?
Caelan knocked on the office door, only to discover that it was not locked.
After walking in, he happened to see Caesar and Orlando holding magnifying glasses, carefully observing several Fragments of History.
The surfaces of these Fragments of History were covered in numerous grooves of varying depth.
Yet they seemed to contain some kind of special pattern.
Caelan narrowed his eyes, and the [Eye of Insight] activated.
Gradually, those grooves of varying depth transformed into words he could recognize.
"Little Caelan, you’re finally here!"
A gentle smile appeared on Caesar’s face as he lightly patted Caelan’s shoulder.
"Do you remember when our warbands joined forces to excavate the Fragments of History?"
"Look. These are all Fragments of History we dug up. Of course, this is only a small portion."
"But I can tell you that these few pages of Fragments of History are extremely valuable."
"Because written on them is a journal entry."
A journal entry?
Caelan was slightly startled and was just about to ask when Orlando continued.
"Don’t underestimate this journal. It should have been deliberately left behind by a powerful awakener."
"According to his description, his class was called ’Ruinblade Swordsman.’ He seems to have been quite an extraordinary figure as well."
"What’s strange is that we haven’t been able to find any more information related to the ’Ruinblade Swordsman.’"
"It’s as though he... appeared out of nowhere!"
