So, it really is a game world?
Accepting decades of memories is quite unsettling, especially since Ethan Drake himself had some unresolved issues with soul fusion.
But he patiently organized and integrated the memories of this person's life.
He got what he wanted!
And even some unexpected gains!
Originally, he only wanted to understand the world, but it turned out this person was a time-traveling future visitor.
This probe brought a great gift from the future.
What a bargain for him!
The rules and background of the game world, the future trajectory, information about the real world...
Everything,
All the secrets and foresight possessed by the future person were now known to him.
Past, present, and future were all in his mind.
In an instant, with so much information converging,
He wasn't sure how to define the world he was in.
It's a game, yet it has a history that rivals the real world, with brilliant races and civilizations, each individual possessing unique will and wisdom.
It's real, but with the arrival of these 'players,' it has acquired many game-like traits.
Respawning wild monsters, a data-driven world, various factions, and professional mentors generously teaching players...
The native inhabitants of this world showed no unusual emotions towards these players, treating them as ordinary people.
A strange world.
And himself,
What should he be considered?
Ethan Drake looked down at his mountain-like, dragon-scaled body.
According to the memories he received,
There's some regret,
He doesn't seem to be a hero!
He is the ultimate evil in this world, the end boss of the game!
In simple terms, it seems he is the game's final boss!
So Lucas Hayes referred to him as the Lord of Cataclysms, the Endbringer Dragon.
From the game background information transmitted through Lucas Hayes's memories,
The gods prophesied that the coming disaster would wield destructive power to plague the continent, causing turmoil in the world. If not stopped, the raging flames would turn the world to ashes.
In this context, the righteous players who arrived in this world grew stronger, fought wild monsters, and tackled various dungeons.
Eventually, heroes would rise to challenge the final boss,
The legendary Endbringer Dragon, which is Ethan Drake!
However, more detailed information was not fully revealed.
When Lucas Hayes traveled here, the game was only in its mid-to-late stages.
Players were growing stronger, and the continent's secrets were gradually being uncovered,
But there was still a long way to go!
The so-called final boss had not yet made an appearance.
Nevertheless, the final dragon's shadow subtly appeared behind many major dungeons and events, and players eagerly speculated and looked forward to the final scenes of the game.
How magnificent would the powerful final boss and the terrifying Endbringer Dragon be?
Due to the fame of the Twelve Demon Pillars and some major world events, Ethan Drake's presence as the Endbringer Dragon was continuously highlighted.
But it's just a game, and some even favored his villainous strength, domineering and fierce, giving him a unique charm.
He was quite popular among players.
"…"
After digesting everything,
The fearsome dragon, entirely black, squinted with a human-like expression, and his immense dragon eyes seemed to glimmer with wisdom.
"The Endbringer Dragon? The Lord of Cataclysms? Nice names!"
He gazed up at the smoke-filled sky, a hint of playful amusement on his face.
Anyone who suddenly woke up to find themselves labeled as the destroyer of worlds wouldn't be too pleased, right?
Gods? Prophecies?
What right do these beings have to define his future?
"Since the game has begun, high and mighty ones, if you're not averse to handling a hot potato, let's play!"
Ethan Drake's eyes turned cold as he murmured softly.
He merely wished for a peaceful slumber!
But since those lurking in the shadows want to drag him into the game, use him as a pawn, and manipulate the situation,
Then he'll entertain them!
Let's see if the so-called saviors' "pure water"
Can extinguish his world-burning inferno!!!!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The extreme southern region erupted with earth-shattering roars, a terrifying force sweeping across the entire forbidden zone.
It was as if the apocalypse had arrived, with life withering and destruction descending!
"Roar!"
The roar of the dragon was deafening.
For a moment, everyone on the continent felt a jolt, a sense of unease.
Instinctively, they all turned their gaze to the same direction.
The south!
An indescribable terror had awakened!
