Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

Chapter 61: The reappearance of mandatory tasks and the tragic Korean nation

Just as Wu Ming was struggling with the question of whether he should continue to stay in the abandoned dungeon and frantically kill monsters to level up after changing his job, or bravely step out of his comfort zone to look for new bosses that had not yet been defeated by other players, the mysterious time traveler ring in his hand suddenly trembled without any warning.

This sudden movement startled Wu Ming. Then, a dazzling light flashed, and a mandatory task information suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

I saw eye-catching golden fonts flashing on the task panel.

[Special Untimed Mission: Fusion of Two Worlds!]

Seeing this title, Wu Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes, secretly wondering what kind of reward was hidden behind this task and why he needed to complete it!

After carefully reading the task details, Wu Ming's expression became more serious.

Just as it was said at the beginning that the MapleStory world could be surpassed, the Supreme God of the MapleStory world is engaged in a fierce battle with the will of the Blue Star world, and the outcome of this battle will determine which side can successfully devour the dimensional nodes of the other world.

What is even more shocking is that there is a passage in the mission details that the time traveler once went to Blue Star in person to investigate the situation, only to find that the entire planet seemed to have been shrouded in dark magic and fell into chaos.

Moreover, according to the diary left by the time traveler before his death, the initial fusion between the two worlds actually started from Rainbow Island.

Now Wu Ming is faced with a difficult choice.

Either accelerate the fusion of the two worlds, or let it develop naturally. Fortunately, no matter what choice he ultimately makes, he will not be punished, but the corresponding rewards are also full of uncertainty.

And even if Wu Ming did not interfere with this mission, the two worlds would merge at any time in the future.

"Oh my goodness! I was just figuring out how to plan my next course of action when this mandatory mission suddenly popped up! But the question is...how exactly do I even begin to complete this mission?"

Wu Ming frowned, racking his brains for a response. Faced with such a complex and far-reaching situation, he felt unprecedented pressure and confusion.

Wu Ming stared wide-eyed at the mandatory task interface before him, which only had a confirmation button, his heart filled with confusion and unease. He had no idea how this task would unfold, but he had no choice.

I had just rested for a night and traveled to the MapleStory world, but after just over an hour of thinking, he felt a severe headache and his head seemed to be about to explode.

However, the situation was pressing, and Wu Ming knew that if he continued to stalemate, he would be trapped in front of this screen forever, unable to see the road ahead. In desperation, he took a deep breath and clicked the confirm button with trembling hands.

At the moment Wu Ming confirmed it, a black light that no one had noticed gushed out from Wu Ming's body like lightning, rushing straight into the high sky, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. No one could detect the whereabouts of this mysterious black light.

Meanwhile, on Blue Star, a small island called Bangzi Country is undergoing a dramatic transformation. With most of its residents having traveled to the MapleStory world to level up, the already impoverished village is now even more desolate and deserted.

Suddenly, without warning, the clear sky was shrouded in a thick darkness. This darkness was not a prelude to the coming of night, but rather a thick, ink-like substance that clung to the horizon, creating a feeling of extreme oppression and foreboding.

People looked up in horror, watching the darkness spread and expand, as if something terrible and strange would happen at any time.

At first, the Korean people were stunned, their heads raised to the mysterious sky, their eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement. They stared blankly at this unprecedented and bizarre sight, secretly wondering what could have caused such a shocking scene.

However, just a moment later, an unprecedented fear surged into my heart like a tide.

As darkness gradually spread, it was as if a hideous beast, with its bloody mouth wide open, was devouring the land mercilessly. The buildings on the ground began to tremble slightly, emitting waves of creepy "creaking" sounds, as if they were groaning and wailing in pain.

Shrouded in darkness, the tall buildings teetered like candles in the wind, ready to crumble. Under the immense, invisible pressure, they began to crumble, their once sturdy structures becoming fragile.

With a loud bang, the window glass instantly shattered into countless tiny fragments, shooting out in all directions like raindrops. These sharp fragments streaked cold light in the air, making people shudder.

At the same time, the reinforced concrete walls began to undergo strange changes. Deep, bottomless cracks quietly appeared, through which the scene in the next room could be clearly seen.

The walls seemed to be wantonly kneaded by a pair of invisible hands, twisting and deforming beyond recognition. The entire city fell into chaos and panic, people fled in panic, screams and cries rose and fell, and the ears were endless.

Even more terrifying, this dark force showed no signs of stopping, instead expanding its territory at an unimaginable speed. In the blink of an eye, it had completely engulfed the skies above South Korea, driving away all light without a trace, leaving behind only endless darkness and deep despair.

At this moment, the originally clear sky was suddenly shrouded in endless darkness, as if a huge black net fell from the sky and swallowed up the entire world.

The birds soaring in the sky were also swallowed by the darkness. They seemed to have lost their wings and fell straight to the ground. For a moment, only the dull sound of heavy objects hitting the ground could be heard.

In the streets and alleys of South Korea, houses were instantly riddled with holes, and the window glass was shattered into countless pieces, scattered on the ground, flashing cold light.

In this sudden disaster, those vibrant lives were reduced to mangled corpses, lying in a pool of blood. People stared at the suffocating spectacle in horror, their mouths gaping, unable to utter a word.

Amidst this chaos and despair, some people suddenly caught sight of a mysterious and huge object slowly emerging from the darkness of the sky.

This object looks like an extremely large island, but after closer inspection, you will find that it is not just an ordinary island.

I saw wisps of black mist surrounding the "island". These black mists were swirling around like ghosts, making the entire "island" look vague and unclear.

Some people even wondered if they were seeing things or experiencing some kind of hallucination, but no matter what, the feeling of unreality lingered in their hearts and could not be shaken off.

Just as everyone was still immersed in astonishment and confusion about this mysterious "island", the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to tremble violently.

What started as a gentle tremor quickly grew into an earth-shaking tremor, with buildings lining the street crumbling, walls cracking, and roofs collapsing.

Deep, bottomless cracks appeared on the ground, as if they were about to swallow everything in. People fled in panic, their screams and cries intertwined, resounding through the sky.

On the ground, enormous cracks stretched out like the mouth of a terrifying abyss, baring their fangs and claws. Some cracks expanded at an alarming rate, their depths terrifying. There was no end in sight, as if the other side of the crack connected to the other side of the earth.

In an instant, the surging sea water gushed out from these cracks like a beast bursting its dam. It rushed and roared madly, ruthlessly washing away everything on the earth.

The originally tall buildings collapsed one after another under the impact of the sea water, turning into ruins, and all kinds of garbage were swept into them and drifted everywhere.

Faced with this sudden disaster, people were terrified, with screams and shouts coming one after another.

At first, everyone instinctively scattered, running as fast as they could towards higher ground, hoping to find a relatively safe refuge. However, in the face of this apocalyptic horror, their running seemed so insignificant and full of powerlessness.

The children were so frightened that they burst into tears, their heart-wrenching cries were heartbreaking. The adults, on the other hand, cried for help while tightly protecting their children, their faces filled with fear and despair.

What's more, at this critical moment of life and death, he was forced to use skills that could only be used in the MapleStory world. But even so, it was difficult to withstand the invasion of this catastrophic disaster.

At the same time, the whole scene was in chaos, accompanied by the deafening sound of the remaining buildings collapsing.

The cries of children, the screams of adults, and the light and sounds emitted when skills were used intertwined with each other, as if playing a symphony of urgency and despair on this land where there was once only kimchi.

Those who had finally managed to escape from the rubble and reach an open area frantically pried open the doors of each car and anxiously tried to start the car.

They were like a group of headless flies that had lost their direction, driving their vehicles aimlessly in this chaotic scene of doomsday, crashing here and there, with the only thought in their minds being to escape from this terrible hell as soon as possible.

At this moment, there was a group of people whose souls, after sufficient rest, were strong enough to once again withstand the tremendous spiritual pressure brought by traveling through the world of MapleStory.

So without any hesitation, they resolutely chose to cross directly into the seemingly safe world of MapleStory in order to avoid the catastrophic disaster that might come again.

In contrast, those pitiful people who had just been forcibly sent back to Blue Planet by the MapleStory world could only stand there, uttering shrill cries. They desperately waited for death to approach step by step, as if the hourglass of life was mercilessly draining away the last grains of sand.

When everyone was plunged into extreme panic and helplessness, an unexpected scene occurred. The endless darkness that triggered this terrifying doomsday scene suddenly disappeared without any warning! Just as quickly as it suddenly appeared at the beginning, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the scene unfolded before their eyes, a horrifying sight. The once solid earth suddenly cracked open, as if being torn apart by an invisible giant hand. From these cracks, icy cold water continuously seeped out, spreading rapidly and submerging large tracts of land.

And those skyscrapers that once stood tall and reached the sky have now collapsed to the ground, turning into piles of broken wreckage.

These buildings, once symbols of the city's prosperity and splendor, now lay in ruins, a desolate scene. The entire city's appearance had undergone a drastic change in an instant, all its vitality seemingly vanishing with the disappearance of those bizarre phenomena.

Especially the cities in South Korea were plunged into an atmosphere of absolute silence at this time.

People stood there in a daze, their eyes wide open in disbelief. They looked around blankly, seeing only devastated ruins. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not accept the horrific scenes they had just experienced.

Even though the sun in the sky once again cast its warm light on this devastated land.

Soft light gently brushed across everyone's face, but the dazzling light seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, unable to penetrate the deepest corners of their hearts. There, thick haze and deep fear still lingered.

Just when everyone was still in panic and confusion, the Korean government finally responded, claiming that this series of strange phenomena were caused by a sudden and strong earthquake.

As for the heart-pounding darkness covering the sky, it was explained as a combination of an earthquake and some special light factors in the sky, just like the aurora commonly seen in the Arctic region, except that this time it was on a larger scale and the scene was rarer, so the general public was urged not to panic too much.

Such a far-fetched statement obviously cannot convince the public, but the matter ultimately ended abruptly and without any result.

Of course, these things happened in the next few days, and after they happened, there were more than 100,000 casualties, but the Korean authorities chose to block the news!

Let’s turn our attention to the world of MapleStory again.

At this time, Wu Ming was staring at the mandatory task displayed on the screen in front of him, his brows furrowed, and he was lost in deep thought.

He racked his brains, trying to figure out a clue, but faced with such an impossible task, he didn't know where to start.

Just as Wu Ming was thinking hard, suddenly a slight prompt sound rang out. It turned out that the private chat box began to flash non-stop.

"Huh? Why is there a reminder for messages in the private chat box? Didn't I block the reminders in the private chat box before?"

Looking at the reminder that suddenly flashed in the private chat bar, Wu Ming gave up the thought of the world fusion task and looked at this special private chat message.
