Play however you want?

As Tang Hong emerged from the ghost realm, Lin Feng's voice echoed in his mind, and a dangerous thought popped into his head.

"Heh." A low chuckle escaped his lips, and his muscular figure soared into the sky, rushing towards the direction of the previous battle.

...

In a town somewhere on the northern continent, a chaotic atmosphere permeated every corner. The mages of Afaron and the Sanctuary had just retreated when a group of opportunistic, unaffiliated mages broke in, targeting the Set people who couldn't escape in time and had become monsters.

"I've discovered that I like it here."

A mage raised his right hand, the sacrificial fire flickering beside him, engulfing a wailing Seton and transforming it into magical power in his hand.

"Just two weeks ago he was smugly mocking us, but now he's nothing."

"The city lords only help the rich, and their lackeys only know how to change sides. Are we just supposed to be bullied?"

"Die, all of you! Die! I'm just trash, hahaha! I have nothing, but you all?"

"You act like you've lost the whole world just because you lost a dollar, and you expect me to apologize to you?!"

Hahahaha!

Maniacal laughter spread all around, and the magic, filled with intense emotions, transformed into a hurricane that swirled throughout the area, blowing through the hearts of all the mages.

"Money, money, money, hahaha, my money, I got my money back!"

"My house, my home, I'm finally back!"

"Hehehe, you're all dead, all dead! You bunch of trash are all dead, this place is mine now, hehehe!!"

Magic, madness, and roars erupted as the darkness that had been building up behind the town finally burst forth. More monsters seemed to emerge from the corners, dragging the crazed mages into battle.

After this frenzy, Lin Feng raised his arm, and the blood-red longsword in his hand pierced into a demonic cockroach, obliterating its faint intelligence.

Wandering in such an environment rife with desires, one's heart will always experience different feelings. It seems that since the birth of mankind, the human heart has not changed much, and it has been so decadent in every era.

Even in modern society, the so-called "seeing through everything and only loving money" is nothing more than getting stuck in another dead end.

Who was really in the wrong?

Lin Feng aimlessly killed a crazed mage, "learning" and "repeating" the mage's actions, then raised his right hand and used Sacrifice.

The chaotic desires were drawn into his arm, and the roar from not long ago echoed in his ears again, in the voice of that mage, over and over again.

People pride themselves on being clear-headed, and this clarity means eliminating all complex options and choosing the most intuitive method.

Money and power.

Unfortunately, what they like is not money itself, but the transcendence that money brings, the dominance that money brings over all others, not the prosperity that money brings.

Perhaps they understand, but money doesn't, nor do those driven by money, and those who are forced to see through it all don't understand either.

"Money, money, money, hahaha, my money, my money!"

"Humanoid Monster - Golden-Armed Giant (Greed)"

A gigantic cyclops emerged from the body of a mage, carrying a chest of gold coins on his back. Countless gold coins transformed into his arms, piercing his flesh.

Now all the money is his, and no one is going to steal it from him anymore, but is money still money?

"You're looking at my money?!"

"This is my money! It's mine! It's mine!!"

With just one glance, Lin Feng was targeted. The golden-armed giant's hand suddenly appeared and fell down, the golden light arousing Lin Feng's greed and creating an illusion for him.

The only difference is the illusion of greed; this mage only wanted to possess, while Lin Feng saw the prosperity behind the money.

But what's the use?

The blood sword pierced the giant's skull, and the nun's power shattered the giant's body, leaving only endless greed and a fist-sized golden eyeball.

"The One-Eyed Greed: Go and possess everything you desire!"

This mage had no choice. He was born into poverty, worked hard all his life, and finally earned some income, only to be swindled away.

This era is tragic; they have no choice. But some people have a choice, yet they still choose not to.

Eating while lying down always tastes the best.

Lin Feng walked up to a tall tower and looked into the distance, finding his target: a mage using forbidden magic.

The mage sacrificed his ears, and his lost hearing transformed into a pair of twisted, soft hands that slammed down on a giant eyeball protruding from a house.

He pulled out two ribs and threw them to the ground, where they turned into rows of white bone spikes that pierced through the entire house.

He took out the last green branch and quickly offered it as a sacrifice. The rich life force immediately entered his body and healed his injuries.

Lin Feng watched from afar until the man sacrificed the monster on the ground, then he looked away. This mage was the only one who had mastered a forbidden spell, and it was a new forbidden spell at that; the other party must have had contact with Merlin.

"You've been following me all this way." The mage's figure shifted, and a bolt of lightning burst forth from beneath his feet, carrying him over several houses and arriving in front of Lin Feng.

"I am very interested in the forbidden technique you just used."

"You want to learn?" The mage's eyes, hidden beneath his hood, were like a wolf's, fixed on the other person.

Lin Feng said bluntly, "I heard that someone is teaching forbidden techniques."

"Olympia Plains." Without any hesitation, the mage finished speaking and immediately disappeared from Lin Feng's sight.

The Olympia Plain, once the main battlefield for the Romulus and Set, laid the foundation for the rise of the Romulus Empire. Now it has become a desolate land that has lost its original natural environment, filled with the murmurs of the dead and endless monsters.

"Hehe, you're going to the Olympia Plains?" A thin mage approached, judging from his build and voice, he was probably only a teenager.

Lin Feng nodded: "Mm."

“I was just about to go too, how about we keep each other company?” The mage lifted the thin veil, revealing a somewhat handsome face.

Girl?

"I'm very powerful!" The girl stretched out her right hand, and a ball of flame floated in her palm.

Lin Feng did not refuse: "What are you going to the Olympia Plain for?"

"I want to learn advanced magic," the girl said cautiously.

Do you know the way?

"Yes, I know!" The girl immediately smiled. "My name is Lacey!"

"Let's go." Lin Feng jumped down from the tower, and coincidentally, a black cat that had turned into a monster emerged from under his feet. Lacey, who was above him, raised her gigantic wrist and slammed it to the ground.

Sacrifice!

A faint magic entered Lacey's arm, and a barely perceptible pain flashed across her eyes before quickly disappearing.

As they left the town, Lacey pointed in a direction and said excitedly, "It's about a four-hour walk there."

Lin Feng nodded indifferently. He knew the direction, and it would be easier to blend in than to go alone.

After holding it in for a long time, Lacey finally asked, "What's your name?"

"nameless."

Lin Feng continued walking forward, seemingly without any desire to communicate.

"Ha, you wouldn't happen to be the Nameless Mage, would you?" Lacey suddenly jumped out, waving her hands a few times, and looked at Lin Feng excitedly: "Wait, you don't know the story of the Nameless Mage, do you?"

Seeing that Lin Feng had no reaction, Lacey quickly said, "When I was a child, I heard a story about an unnamed mage who would come out to save the world. Later, for some reason, the person who told the story suddenly disappeared, and then very few people mentioned the story anymore."

"It wasn't me."
