Under the shadow of a Night Cherry Blossom, Gu Mo watched expressionlessly from afar in that direction, which seemed to be a low depression terrain in the village, surrounded by raised dirt mounds, and within it was clearly a somewhat chaotic cemetery, with gravestones and mounds scattering everywhere.
A massive ox-headed monster stood upright, donned heavily in Samurai-like armor, its eyes emitting a bloodthirsty crimson glow. It pushed a nail hammer iron rod as thick as a sturdy tree trunk with one hand, pacing back and forth in the cemetery, as though inspecting its land of death...
This is it indeed!
Gu Mo held his forehead, his eyes vacant, perhaps due to the design for gameplay in games differing from a real place, so he didn’t realize immediately upon seeing the village what this place was.
But after consecutively seeing the Night Cherry Blossoms, the cemetery, and the ox-headed monster within it, it would be strange if he didn’t react.
So this scene belongs to the world of the Nioh series...
This should be Thirteen Sakura Village, a village that once thrived by providing cattle, horses, and post stations, but ultimately couldn’t escape the ravage of wartime destruction, and with the chaos, wild souls bred numerously, inevitably causing a demon outbreak, leading to the village’s destruction overnight.
"I’m doomed, how am I supposed to pass this quest..."
Gu Mo withdrew his gaze from inspecting the distant ox-headed ghost, cautiously holding his breath, not daring to make any sound.
And let’s not mention this thing, the ultimate BOSS at the village shrine in Thirteen Sakura Village is also a horse-headed ghost of the same level, is this a quest he can tackle now?
In the game, the wife he created... ahem, the pretty maiden he crafted can indeed show off her moves, easily dominating everything, with her return later making even the BOSS’s health bar disappear.
But in the real world? Look at that ox-headed monster nearly three stories tall, clad in heavy armor, Gu Mo doubted that even if he raised his power to 20 points, he might still lack the strength to push that nail hammer iron rod it’s dragging single-handedly...
Health bar disappeared? Yes, certainly the health bar disappeared, but I won’t say whose it is.
Speaking of which, did my hack choose the wrong enhancement direction, striving to give the enemy a thrilling gaming experience while slamming myself? Otherwise, how to explain the functions provided to me being full of bugs and incomplete services, yet while I am grinding quests, it instead offers scenes clearly beyond newbie difficulty—
Especially looking at this for a newbie like him, it’s way too hardcore.
Although in the game, this is the Newbie Village, speaking not just of the game data of the wife I created, but merely in terms of setting, that’s the greatest demon of the Warring States period, able to crush Yoshitsune and kill Ootakemaru during the strongest half-demon’s newbie period, how could it compare to a newbie period for an ordinary person like me?
Just as Gu Mo’s face fluctuated uncertainly, feeling trapped in an unsolvable deadlock, light footsteps suddenly came from behind.
He instinctively turned back, and after a slight stun, his eyes brightened instantly—
"Wife!"
There’s hope!!
"?"
On the path behind, a black-haired maiden with a veil covering her face, a sword at her waist, and a bow slung on her back, noticeably froze for a moment.
Seems there’s another living person in the village, but what is this person saying?
