Perhaps a treasure chest is a trap. After finally climbing up and opening the chest, you find that you can't get down anymore and have no choice but to commit suicide to return to the camp.
The first time they encountered this trap, everyone had a "WTF" expression on their face.
But after experiencing it many times, one gradually becomes numb and indifferent.
—What? You got crushed by the game? Isn't that normal? Do you have some misunderstanding about mortal souls?
After almost a night, most players finally cleared the first level.
A small number of players who stay up all night playing the game may be ahead in the progress.
According to the official website's achievement statistics, about one-tenth of the players have successfully reached the boss guarding the second map.
[I was so dazed from the beating that I felt like I'd been raped. I could barely walk straight; I just wanted to roll away.]
This game should be called "The Soul of a Sadist," because the main storyline revolves around training players to become masochistic...
[Masochistic Training Simulator :)]
[This is insane! I can't even beat one small monster, and now three of them have swarmed around this corner to gang up on me!! I'm just a lowly gourd spirit, why are they doing this to me?!]
Because of the unique mechanics of the Mortal Soul, many bosses can be run right past it, allowing you to enter another map without killing the boss.
So on the first day of the game, many players started doing this as "runaways".
Many people, upon seeing the monsters, don't even think twice; they immediately roll away on the spot, scrambling and crawling away—they can't possibly defeat them!
Just enjoy the scenery! Don't have any inappropriate thoughts!
At this moment, many players finally recalled the fear and humiliation they felt back then when they were dominated by the cult leader's smiling face...
Then everyone dug up Mingyan's speech at the carnival back then.
Host: "So, the new game is also an adventure mode? Like in Minecraft, where you go out to fight monsters at night?"
He stated, "It might be slightly more difficult than that, and I have high expectations for our players."
Chapter 72 The Cult Leader's Malice
Listen to this statement, is this even human language?
It might be a tiny bit more difficult!
They also have high expectations for the players!
Players: "..."
Looking back, I finally understand the profound meaning behind the leader's words back then.
The message boils down to one thing: Suffer :)
The devil is still the devil; he won't change just because the game genre changes. When playing his games, just cry it out...
On this day, many of the tens of thousands of Ming Cult members in the Sixth Province changed their names and signatures.
For example, if someone's name contains phrases like "newcomer to the cult" or "suffering newbie," then they are definitely a member of the Ming Cult.
If your signature contains phrases like "Old Buddha," "Discourage Guy," or "Parry Mentor," it means you were mercilessly tortured by the first boss, Sisyphus, while playing Mortal Souls.
Other games start with a tutorial level that's about kindergarten level difficulty, allowing players to transition smoothly, but the final boss raises the difficulty to the maximum level in this game.
However, the mortal soul is pure and unpretentious.
It starts at the highest difficulty level of other games, and it gets progressively harder with each level...
The week of the release of the game "Mortal Souls" saw a reshuffling of the major charts.
At this point, its data was no longer the focus of attention; players were asking the various platforms—
Why don't you guys release a game difficulty leaderboard?
Yes, they just wanted to cry out in despair about what had happened to them!
If there were a ranking of game difficulty, Mortal Souls would definitely be number one, and it might even get more votes than all other games combined!
Because it is not only difficult, but also reasonably difficult, making it quite fun.
Making people suffer while simultaneously being compelled to continue suffering willingly... that's exactly what a "masochistic training simulator" is.
Seven days later, game videos related to Mortal Souls were finally available online, and the eagerly awaiting streamers began their live streams.
A short video went viral online in a short period of time!
This is a female streamer with the ID "Xia Xia". The video content includes her entire process of clearing the second map of Mortal Soul.
Her skills weren't very good, so she was cautious and went through a lot of hardship throughout the entire process. After stepping over almost all the traps on the map, she finally arrived in front of the BOSS.
Then she died more than a hundred times on this BOSS.
It really was over a hundred times!
The video edited together these deaths and played them at several times the speed, showing the girl dying in various creative ways.
Some were killed by the BOSS's hammer, some were pushed off a cliff by the BOSS and fell to their deaths, and some simply rolled around and lost their footing and fell to their deaths...
Even with the playback sped up, it still took several minutes to finish playing; it was truly awful!
But these are not the main points.
