Lord of the Black Mist: Begin with Infinite Activation

Chapter 1
sunset.

The sky that should have been blue was gradually covered with layers of black mist, as if falling from heaven into a dark abyss.

However, the residents living under this sky did not raise their heads, and had become accustomed to this change of day and night.

What they care more about is how to stir up the situation among the same kind and become the winner among them.

……

"Oh!"

The thin boy was pinched by a man with scars on his neck, and thrown out of the gate of the Gray Pigeon camp, falling heavily on the ground.

The man with the scar had great strength in his hands, and the cold ground hit the boy's chest with pain, making it difficult for him to get up for a while.

"I'm in a good mood today and let you go, go away."

At this time, there were many people watching at the gate of the camp, but no one reached out to help.

This is not surprising.

The boy's name is Alan, and he is the adopted son of Crete, the leader of the Gray Pigeon camp.

In the eyes of these people, the Gray Pigeon camp has changed owners, and the original leader has had his throat cut by the power grabber.

Then, as the adopted son of Crete, Alan was driven out of the camp is the doomed result.

However, this is not the mercy of the opponent.

Because in this world, leaving the shelter of a camp is worse than being executed.

At this time, all the people in the Gray Pigeon camp were waiting for Alan to beg for mercy with a playful look on their faces.

Appreciating the former superiors falling into the quagmire seems to give them great pleasure.

"What are you looking at, Mr. Odd is merciful, why don't you hurry up?"

"The cubs of the defeated do not deserve to be in the camp!"

"Krit himself is useless, and raising a child is also a fool!"

……

Allen struggled to get up, his eyes swept across the door, and all kinds of bad words came immediately.

People who used to say hello to him when they saw him, now they seem to be the vicious guard dogs who drive him away.

Allen was not surprised, he knew that these people were waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

However, Allen did not intend to let these people succeed.

Instead of begging for mercy, he withdrew his gaze and turned around resolutely, wrapped his thin clothes tightly, and resolutely walked into the icy sea breeze.

……

……

The broken stone pillars stand among the mottled rocks, supporting a temple like ruins.

Legend has it that this temple belongs to the goddess of the sea, and her followers have prayed to her countless times here, and the two snake-tailed female statues on the stone platform at the entrance are her divine guards.

It's a pity that only one is preserved intact, and the other has been broken in two.

And this temple ruin is the escape route left by Alan in his memory.

"I guess he is the worst foreigner in history."

Allen sneezed and sighed with a wry smile.

Five days ago, Allen was an ordinary student on Sky Blue Star.

As usual, I stayed up late reading novels until five o'clock in the morning, and then passed out with severe chest pain.

When he woke up again, he came to this world and became the adopted son of Crete.

It is said that he is an adopted son, but Crete once said that Allen was the son of a nobleman, and Crete was his guardian knight.

Later, Allen lost his identity due to a family coup, and Crete took him to flee to Black Reef Island to set up a gray dove camp, and then raised him.

And now the camp has also been taken away by outsiders—that's what Allen just experienced.

According to the memory in my mind, this world is called Ausen, an island world full of darkness and danger.

And the source of darkness and danger is the black-purple mist floating on the endless sea that never dissipates.

This kind of black mist not only hides terrifying dark monsters, but also makes human beings lose their minds until they become crazy bloodthirsty monsters and are swallowed by the mist.

During the daytime, the black mist on the sea is thin, and the island is also thin, which has a weak influence on people.

And when night falls, these fogs will pervade the land of the island.

At that time, the mist will dye the entire place as black as ink.

And in the dark night shrouded in fog, people must stay in the place illuminated by the light source so that they will not be affected by the fog and live safely.

Allen looked at the gradually darkening sky, and a faint mist had already appeared around him.

He didn't stay any longer, and quickly walked into the dilapidated temple.

Forcefully removed a stone slab leaning against the wall, a half-person-high cave appeared in front of Allen's eyes.

In the dimness, a row of downward stone steps could be vaguely seen.

Allen bravely got into the hole, only to find that the space inside was much wider than the hole, and he would not touch his head even if he stood upright.

Relying on his memory, Allen lit the torch on the stone wall, and turned around to block the hole with stone slabs.

Then followed the faint light of the fire, and went down the stone steps.

Soon, Allen walked to the end of the stone steps and stepped into his foothold - the spacious basement.

At this time, the surrounding fog became thicker, and the firelight in Allen's hand was faltering under the darkness.

There were also chaotic and noisy voices in his ears, and inexplicable irritability arose spontaneously, making Allen unable to help but want to go crazy.

The black mist was corroding his mind.

Allen bit his tongue violently, and the pain made him awake for a moment.

Not daring to delay, Allen ran to the corner and lifted the slate, and took out an old wooden box from underneath.

Allen opened the box, and there was only a dilapidated oil lamp inside.

Without thinking about it, he bit his finger and dripped blood into the oil lamp.

And at the moment the blood dripped, the dark basement was lit up, and the black mist around Allen quickly receded as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

This unremarkable broken oil lamp is the source of light.

The light source appears to be fire, but it is not an ordinary flame.

What really works is a white bead the size of a pigeon egg inside, which contains mysterious energy and is the nemesis of the black mist.

Because of this, light source is the foundation of survival in this world, and everyone is willing to pay their lives for it.

Light sources of different colors can disperse the black fog in different ranges.

Allen has the smallest light source in his hand, which can illuminate a room, and the beads are white.

According to the memory in my mind, the next ones are light yellow, yellow, gold, dark gold, orange and the legendary red light source.

The light source in the gray dove camp is supported by two lampstands made of light yellow light sources to keep it from being eroded by the black fog.

As for how much the red light source can illuminate, Alan doesn't know - he doesn't have any in his memory.

He only knew that the largest on Black Reef Island was the lighthouse standing on the highest point of the island.

However, although the oil lamp in Allen's hand is the smallest light source, it is also something that can save lives at night, and it is the dream of countless people.

The light source is usually recognized by the owner. If other people get Allen's light source and want to use it, there are only two options.

Get Alan's voluntary gift, or get Alan's passive gift - kill Alan, and let the light source have no owner.

Therefore, if you don't have enough strength, you must not show your own light source.

And this is also Allen's concern.

He didn't believe that the new leader drove him out just to obey the camp rules, and there must be other purposes.

Although he didn't know if he was being followed, if he was found alive by the people in the Gray Pigeon camp, then the other party would definitely know that he had a light source.

"Do you want to leave here?"

Allen thought.

But if you are not familiar with other places, where can you go?

I can't go out all the time to find something to eat, can I?

"Gollum..."

At the thought of food, Allen's stomach started to growl.

Alan hasn't eaten anything all day today.

He remembers a time when he kept some food in the basement and kept a chicken.

Thinking of this, Allen lifted the oil lamp and walked to the corner, only to find that the chicken in the cage was dead.

"Well, I hope it's just dead, so I can still eat a few meals."

The chicken in this other world is very big, almost twice the size of a normal chicken in the previous life.

Allen lifted the cage, intending to take out the chicken inside and dispose of it.

However, just as his hand touched the chicken, several red light spots suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

At the same time, a line of prompts appeared in Allen's mind:
[Discover the life essence that can be dissociated, and activate the infinite activation system! 】

……

"Infinite Activation System? Life Essence?"

Allen was surprised and suspicious, wondering what this thing was?
As soon as his thoughts flashed, the answer appeared in his mind:

[Now you can give life to all valuable dead things and turn them into absolutely loyal servants. 】

[It should be noted that items that have been baptized by history or spiritual sustenance are more valuable after being activated, and if they are both, they are designated as strong. 】

[The activation process needs to consume a certain amount of life essence, which can also increase the level of your servants. 】

"Giving life to the dead?"

Alan's eyes widened when he saw the prompt, "Isn't this the power of creation?"

Just when Allen was shocked, a reminder flashed through his mind again:
[Do you want to collect free life essence? 】

"……Yes?"

Allen hesitated and made a choice instinctively.

I saw that the huge chicken in front of me suddenly began to shake, and then there was a soft "poof", and the whole chicken turned into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared!

"My chicken!"

Seeing that the chicken disappeared, Allen couldn't help but let out a cry of grief!
This is food for a few days!

Now it is lost by the system at once!
If he knew this was the case, Allen definitely couldn't make such a hasty decision!

Just when Alan regretted a little, the prompt appeared again:

"Collect 10 points of life essence for the first activation!"
