This is the story of a crazy lich who possesses an internal game system and brings catastrophe to the entire world. “Let’s look at the daily quests today… it’s the damned choose one-of-two-options-type again. Destroy a town with a population of 30,000 people or above; reward: 10,000 evil points. Steal lollipops from 3 children; reward: 1 evil point. If neither of the quests is completed, then 2 points will be deducted.” “Tsk! You think I’m stupid? If I really destroyed a town, a crusade of Myth-ranked Holy Knights would definitely come hunting me down. Even if I earned the points, there wouldn’t be any life left in me to spend them. I better just go be a kindly lollipop bandit.” I’ve already had enough of being a notorious lich. Who says a lich can’t be a good person? I’m definitely going to beat this damned system and be an upright and dignified good man.
In a way, this "volcano eruption" incident was a coincidence as well as an inevitability.
We made many preparations for the Holy War, such as turning the entire Northlands into an ironclad alliance. The Northlands became a difficult place to conquer, with few benefits to be gained here even if you conquered it. Additionally, as time passed, the Northlands became ever stronger.
While this sounded quite nice, even as we calculated, others were calculating against us.
Although the Northlands would be difficult to conquer, with few benefits to be had here, meaning that nobody wise would intentionally choose such a difficult opponent… the Chaos Faction still managed to find the Fire Elemental Lords, who wouldn't care about losses, forcefully turning the Northlands into a battlefield.
