A bed that traverses countless worlds

A flash of white light appeared before Lin Yu's eyes, and when he opened them again, he found himself lying in bed, in a gloomy and eerie world.

A thick aura of darkness surged in like a tide, almost engulfing him.

The air was thick with the pungent smell of sulfur, making it difficult for him to breathe, and it felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest.

"Damn, this smell is even more pungent than my socks that haven't been washed for a month!" Lin Yu couldn't help but complain, forcing himself to look around despite his discomfort.

The entrance to the Shadow World, as its name suggests, is pitch black, resembling the gaping maw of a colossal beast.

Twisted trees stretched towards the sky like ghostly claws, the ground was covered with withered bones and rotting plants, and a chilling wind howled.

"System, this environment is too gloomy! Can't you give me a five-star rating and a teleportation point?" Lin Yu complained inwardly.

Darkness surged toward him as if it were a physical entity, and the heavy pressure made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

This feeling is like facing a mountain of review materials before a final exam, which can be incredibly disheartening.

"Luckily, I'm lying flat. No matter how much pressure I'm under, it won't break my bed!" Lin Yu comforted himself.

He stared at the eerie entrance before him, his heart filled with tension and unease.

This feeling is like going on a blind date for the first time, not knowing whether the other person is a human or a ghost.

"System, are you sure we can clear this level? Or are you sending me to some cult's lair?"

Suddenly, several hideous shadow creatures sprang out of the darkness, letting out sharp roars, and pounced on Lin Yu.

These creatures came in all shapes and sizes; some resembled giant spiders, others winged lizards, and still others humanoid skeletons. Without exception, they all emitted a nauseating stench of decay.

Lin Yu did not retaliate immediately, but tried to use his own power of light to influence them.

A soft white light emanated from him, illuminating a small area around him.

The shadow creatures were startled by the sudden light, and they all stopped in their tracks, letting out puzzled growls.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot! The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore!" Lin Yu earnestly advised.

The fallen knight standing to the side, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha! What a fool! To actually think he can use light to redeem these creatures devoured by darkness! What a pipe dream!"

The Fallen Knight had barely finished speaking when he charged towards Lin Yu...

The Fallen Knight brandished his greatsword, slashing at Lin Yu with a whooshing sound.

A thick aura of darkness swirled around the blade, as if it were about to devour everything.

Lin Yu quickly maneuvered the bed board to roll and dodge, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

"Wow, that attack speed is faster than my hand speed during my twenty years of being single!" Lin Yu exclaimed, feeling his adrenaline surge.

The giant sword slashed at the ground, producing a deafening roar that shook the ground violently and sent fragments of rock flying.

Lin Yu felt the bed frame vibrating and buzzing, almost throwing him off.

"Luckily, my bed is sturdy enough, otherwise I would have been turned into a meat pie!" He patted the bed board with lingering fear.

The Fallen Knight's attacks grew increasingly fierce, each strike carrying an overwhelming force. Lin Yu felt like a small boat in a storm, about to be swallowed by the giant waves at any moment.

He attempted to purify the fallen knight with the power of light, but the suppression of the dark power made it difficult for him to fully exert his power, and the purification effect was negligible.

"This dark power is even more intense than the resentment of my ex-girlfriend!" Lin Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

The Fallen Knight's attacks became faster and faster, and Lin Yu's room to dodge became smaller and smaller.

He felt like prey trapped in a spider web, forced to watch helplessly as the predator approached.

At this critical moment, Lin Yu suddenly discovered a subtle flaw in the Fallen Knight's attack—after each attack, his body would pause briefly.

This flaw was extremely brief and almost imperceptible, but Lin Yu still managed to spot it.

"The opportunity has come!" Lin Yu thought to himself with delight. He manipulated the bed board to lunge forward, dodging another slash from the Fallen Knight. At the same time, two spikes popped out from the bed board and accurately pierced the Fallen Knight's abdomen.

"Ah!" The Fallen Knight screamed in agony as the dark power around him surged violently. He staggered backward, clutching his wound, a look of pain on his face.

"You didn't expect that, did you? This bed of mine isn't just any ordinary bed!" Lin Yu said proudly. "It's a multi-functional artifact that combines attack, defense, and healing!"

The Fallen Knight glared fiercely at Lin Yu. He never expected to be injured by a human lying in bed. It was an utter disgrace to him.

He took a deep breath, preparing to launch another attack.

Just then, Lin Yu suddenly froze, his eyes becoming unfocused, as if he were lost in some kind of memory.

He muttered to himself, "I wonder how they are now..."

During a lull in the battle, Lin Yu thought of the female characters far away on the Shattered Continent.

His longing gaze was filled with determination, and his heart was brimming with tender emotions, highlighting his desire to return.

"I wonder how Liliana and Alice are doing now..." he said softly, recalling the time he spent with them with tenderness.

Suddenly, the Fallen Knight lunged at Lin Yu again, his greatsword hurtling towards him with a whistling wind.

Lin Yu quickly snapped out of his reverie and skillfully maneuvered the bed board to dodge.

He keenly spotted the Fallen Knight's weakness, and the two spikes on the bed board once again pierced the opponent's flanks with unerring accuracy.

This time, the Fallen Knight screamed as his body was purified by the power of light, and the dark aura immediately diminished.

Lin Yu seized the opportunity, maneuvering the bed board to slam it into the ground, sending the Fallen Knight flying.

The Fallen Knight crashed heavily to the ground, his body shimmering with purifying light as the dark power was gradually dispelled.

Lin Yu let out a long sigh of relief, manipulated the bed board to rush forward, and finally broke through the defenses of the entrance to the Shadow World.

Upon entering the Shadow World, Lin Yu immediately felt a surge of intense dark power, as if it were about to completely erode his soul.

The light emanating from him temporarily dispelled the surrounding darkness, forming a dazzling halo.

In the brief moment of light, he saw the dark forest ahead, the tall and twisted trees seeming to beckon him, and more unknown dangers awaited him.

"It seems this battle has only just begun..." Lin Yu smiled slightly.
