In the distant and mysterious continent of Atlantis, magic and battle qi criss - cross. Ancient city - states stand in great numbers, and mysterious ruins are hidden among the lofty mountains and deep valleys. Legend has it that this continent was born from the power of the creation gods. Although the glory of the gods has dimmed, the endless mysterious power left behind still attracts countless powerful people to vie for it.
Reynold, an 18 - year - old, was originally an unremarkable blacksmith's apprentice in the Dawn City - state. He was thin and spent his days with the forge, fire, and hammer, living an ordinary and poor life. However, a sudden disaster changed the course of his fate. One night, a group of mysterious black - robed people attacked the city - state, ransacking it for some precious items. In the chaos, in order to protect Alicia, the girl next door, Reynold was accidentally hit by a strange black light. Thinking that he was about to die, he didn't expect that this light actually planted a mysterious "Demon God System" seed in his body.
When Reynold woke up, he found a strange system interface in his mind, emitting a faint blue light. It showed various tasks, skills, and a mysterious store that he had never seen before. The initial task was: "Within three days, enter the Sunset Mountains, find the fragments of the Demon God's Heart, and start the inheritance path of the Demon God. Otherwise, you will suffer soul annihilation." Knowing that he had no choice, Reynold simply packed his bags and, without telling anyone, set off towards the dangerous Sunset Mountains.
As soon as he entered the Sunset Mountains, Reynold truly felt the cruelty and wonder of this continent. Tall ancient trees blocked out the sky and the sun all around, and strange roars of beasts could be heard one after another. The magic elements were chaotic and violent. With the primary insight skill given by the system, he carefully avoided the territories of many powerful magic beasts and moved forward with great difficulty. In a hidden valley, he finally discovered the faint red light emitted by the fragment of the Demon God's Heart, the target of the task.
Just as he was about to reach out and take it, suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew, and a graceful figure flashed out. It was Lina, a female thief wearing red leather armor, holding a long whip, with a cunning look in her eyes. She had long coveted the Demon God's Heart and would not let Reynold get it easily. Without saying a word, Lina lashed out with her whip, and the tip of the whip sparked as it cut through the air. In a panic, Reynold's system suddenly prompted: "Trigger an emergency mission - repel Lina, and the reward is the初级魔法护盾技能 (Primary Magic Shield Skill)." At the critical moment of life and death, Reynold's potential burst out. Following the system's guidance, he cast the shield and used the surrounding rocks and terrain to周旋 (circle around) with Lina.
After a bitter battle, Lina gradually became interested in this seemingly weak but tenacious teenager. In addition, Reynold timely expressed his willingness to share the power of the Demon God with her. Lina put away her long whip, smiled sweetly, and joined Reynold's adventure team.
The two continued to penetrate deeper into the mountains and encountered many difficulties. Once, they accidentally entered the territory of a sixth - order Frost Bear. The bear roared and spat out a cold breath, instantly freezing the surrounding trees. Lina's attacks had little effect on the bear's thick fur, and Reynold was also shivering from the cold. At a crucial moment, the system activated again: "The host is detected to be in crisis. The time - limited lottery is opened, and you can draw life - saving items." Reynold closed his eyes and prayed. Fortunately, the goddess of luck favored him, and he drew a "Flame Rune." After activating it, the cold was instantly dispelled. Cooperating with Lina, they managed to seriously wound the bear and successfully escape.
After leaving the Sunset Mountains, Reynold obtained part of the power of the Demon God with the fragment of the Demon God's Heart. His strength increased greatly, and his reputation gradually spread among the city - states. However, troubles also came one after another. Various forces, either trying to win him over or threatening him, all wanted to learn the secrets of the Demon God from him.
In a magic competition held by the city - state, Reynold, in order to obtain more resources to improve his strength, resolutely participated. In the competition, he met Evelyn, an elf girl with outstanding talent. Evelyn came from the distant Elf Forest. Her long green hair was like a waterfall, and her eyes were like clear lakes. Every move of hers was full of elegance. She was good at nature - type magic, and the vines and flowers she summoned could all be used in battle. When fighting with Reynold, Evelyn had the upper hand at
