A bed that traverses countless worlds

Ignoring the castle ghost's warning, Lin Yu grabbed the magic book.

The cover felt cool to the touch, and a strange energy surged into his body through his arm.

"Holy crap, what's going on?!" Lin Yu felt a jolt run through his body, as if he'd been electrocuted.

The magic book opened automatically, its pages densely covered with strange symbols, resembling tadpole script or some kind of ancient hieroglyphics.

Lin Yu didn't recognize a single word; it felt like he was reading a book written in a foreign language.

"System, translate this!" Lin Yu silently prayed, but the system still didn't respond. This damn thing always messes up at crucial moments.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth and could only grit his teeth and continue watching.

He discovered that these symbols seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power. Whenever he tried to identify a symbol, he would feel dizzy, as if his soul was being sucked in.

"Could this be some kind of evil magic book?" Lin Yu wondered to himself, but his strong thirst for knowledge compelled him to continue reading.

Time passed second by second, and Lin Yu felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit. He was surrounded by darkness, with only those strange symbols flickering with a faint light.

He tried hard to grasp the light, but it felt like slippery eels, always slipping through his fingers.

"No, I can't give up!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth, forcing himself to concentrate and decipher each word one by one.

Suddenly, a powerful dark force surged from the book, like a giant black hand, and fiercely seized Lin Yu's soul.

"Ah!" Lin Yu screamed, feeling his consciousness being devoured by this dark power.

He struggled desperately to break free from the control of this force, but found that he could not move at all.

At this critical moment, the magical bed within Lin Yu's body suddenly emitted a dazzling light, forcing back the dark power.

"Phew..." Lin Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just escaped from the gates of hell.

"This bed really is my lifesaver!" he thought to himself, which strengthened his resolve to decipher the magic book.

However, the dark forces have not completely disappeared; they are still stirring and waiting for their chance to strike.

Lin Yu knew that he had to decipher this magic book as soon as possible in order to completely get rid of the threat of this dark power.

He took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to the symbols on the page, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

"I'll see what secrets this tattered book holds!"

Lin Yu's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, staring intently at the tadpole-like characters on the magic book.

He felt his brain was working at high speed, like an overclocked CPU, frantically analyzing the meaning of these symbols.

The dark forces continued to erode his consciousness, crashing against his mental defenses wave after wave.

"Trying to devour me? No way!" Lin Yu roared inwardly, mobilizing all his willpower to fight a desperate battle against the dark forces.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: these symbols were remarkably similar to an ancient script he had encountered in a game before!

"Wow, I see!" Lin Yu exclaimed excitedly, as if he had found the key to unlock a treasure.

He quickly compared these symbols with the text in the game and, combining them with his own understanding, began to translate them word by word.

As the translation progressed, Lin Yu's understanding of the magic book deepened.

He discovered that the magic book did not contain evil magic, but rather an extremely powerful force of light.

This power can dispel darkness, heal wounds, and even control time and space.

"Amazing! This is practically a cheat code!" Lin Yu thought to himself, secretly delighted, wishing he could immediately claim this power for himself.

Finally, the last symbol was also translated.

Lin Yu felt a powerful energy surge into his body, instantly filling his limbs and bones.

The light emanating from him grew increasingly dazzling, illuminating the entire castle like a small sun.

The surrounding ghosts all knelt down and worshipped him, their eyes filled with awe and adoration.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!" a ghost said in a trembling voice, and the other ghosts joined in, shouting in unison, "Long live the King!"

Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes, which shimmered with golden light.

He felt full of power, as if he could control everything.

"Finally, I succeeded!" He smiled confidently, a slight upturn to his lips.

He turned and walked toward Su Yao, Aisha, and Alice, the three beauties who had been waiting for a long time.

Their eyes were filled with adoration and love, as if they wanted to melt him.

Lin Yu gently embraced them, feeling their warmth, his heart filled with happiness and contentment.

"I'm back," he said softly, his voice full of tenderness and affection.

Su Yao gently stroked his face, her eyes filled with tenderness: "You've worked hard." Aisha hugged him tightly, afraid that he would leave again.

Alice proudly raised her chin, but tears welled in her eyes: "I knew it, you could do it."

The four embraced tightly, enjoying this moment of peace and warmth.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps shattered the beautiful atmosphere...

"Cough cough..." an old voice rang out.

Deep within the ancient castle, the heavy wooden door, long sealed off, slowly opened, and a hunched figure emerged, leaning on a cane.

The castle butler, dressed in a worn-out tailcoat, had dark green eyes that gleamed with a complex light.

He walked shakily to Lin Yu and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have offended you in the past. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Immediately following, the Ghost Knight also knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "My King, the Knights are willing to serve you!"

Lin Yu laughed and patted the Ghost Knight on the shoulder: "Get up, all of you. What's past is past. From now on, we're all brothers!" These magnanimous words immediately lightened the solemn atmosphere of the castle. The ghosts floated over one after another, cheering and jumping for joy, as lively as if it were New Year's Day.

"System, what is the secret of the castle?" Lin Yu asked silently in his mind.

"Ding! The secret of the castle is..." The system finally logged in, but the way it was phrased made Lin Yu want to complain: "Are you doing this on purpose? Trying to keep me in suspense?"

"Ding! The secret of the castle is a sealed portal leading to the abyss of demons." The system continued to announce without any emotion.

Lin Yu looked around and noticed that the fountain in the center of the castle had suddenly started to rotate, forming a huge vortex that emitted an eerie light.

"Holy crap, that portal effect is pretty cool!"

As the portal opened, the black mist that filled the castle gradually dissipated, and sunlight shone in again. The once eerie and terrifying castle now appeared peaceful and serene.

The ghostly figure of the castle gradually became transparent, eventually turning into specks of starlight and dissipating into the air.

Before disappearing, the castle ghost bowed deeply to Lin Yu: "Thank you for lifting our curse."

"This is a +1 in merit, I feel like the Virgin Mary." Lin Yu thought to himself with a sense of satisfaction.

Suddenly, Lin Yu felt a strong pulling force coming from the rotating portal.

A pungent smell of sulfur filled his nostrils, causing him to frown.

"What's that smell? Rotten egg smell?"

"Ding! The system has detected that the host is being summoned by the Abyss of Demons. Do you wish to proceed?" The system notification sounded at the opportune moment.

Lin Yu's lips curled into a confident smile.

"Of course I'm going! How can I level up, fight monsters, and get equipment if I don't go?" He took a deep breath, leaped, and jumped into the portal.

"Brothers, wait for me to come back!" Lin Yu's voice echoed in the castle before disappearing.

Su Yao, Aisha, and Alice exchanged glances. Alice spoke first: "He... went and courted death again."
