Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

Du Kang looked at the huge stone tablet in front of him with a puzzled expression.    

"Power of the Moon" was not difficult to understand. It must be some kind of power related to the moon. But the third phase... this thing still had a stage? Why did it sound like Taekwondo or karate?    

Or rather, like a game.    

Whether it was rank or rank, in the end, it was still a clear classification of ranks - and the main purpose of the classification was to promote it. After all, without a clear hierarchy, everyone could only rely on their own abilities. There were only a few people in the same industry who could use it as a reference - this was especially obvious among martial artists.    

There was no second place in martial arts. This was not something that could be said with one's mouth.    

However, with a clear classification of ranks, it was different. People did not need to focus on defeating their peers. They just needed to take the exam step by step. This way, they could know their approximate level. Different levels would compare with each other. It was very easy to bring up a wave of courage from the inside. This was especially obvious for beginners who had just entered the school. Every increment in the level was an encouragement to them.    

Moreover, it was very suitable to brag about the level. If the level was higher, it would appear to be very orderly.    

But if Du Kang did not guess wrong, the rank of the third rank was obviously not high.    

Otherwise, the surrounding young men and women would not look at him with this kind of mocking gaze.    

"Third phase? Another third phase?"    

"Last year, it was third phase. This year, it's still third phase. What a waste."    

"This kind of trash should have been chased out of the family a long time ago."    

Facing the ridicule of those young men and women, Du Kang did not care at all. They were just a bunch of half-grown children, and they were only putting on a show of strength with their mouths. If he really wanted to fight, he could beat all of these half-grown kids to the ground with a single hand.    

However, before Du Kang could react, his viewpoint automatically took a few steps back.    

Immediately after, a young girl walked out from the crowd and stood in front of the giant stone monument.    

"Wei Lin, moon Qi, eighth stage!"    

Looking at the big words on the stone tablet, the corners of the young lady's mouth curled into a proud smile. Then, she looked around at the surrounding crowd.    

Of course, she could see the envy, jealousy, or something else in those eyes. However, she did not care. She was now a seed level figure in the family, so how could she lower her value to compare with these mediocre people?    

However, there was a gaze that she did not notice.    

"This expression... Did you get full marks in the exam?"    

Looking at the girl's expression, Du Kang had a rough idea in his heart.    

It might not be full marks. But definitely the better batch. In other words, the Moon Qi was higher level than the Power of the Moon. As for the level... since there were eight levels, could it be that every eight levels would increase by one level? Or would the Moon Qi rise one stage every nine stages?    

Since he had not collected enough information, Du Kang could not figure out the level classification of the so-called Power of the Moon for the time being. But at least he understood one thing.    

The third level of the Power of the Moon just now." Without a doubt, he couldn't even reach the average level. In other words... he failed.    

It might even be the last place.    

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work..."    

Just as Du Kang was thinking, a faint sigh sounded above his head.    

"Sigh."    

"... Hmm?"    

Du Kang was stunned when he heard the voice above his head.    

He thought that the scene he was going through now was like an animation at the beginning of the game. When the time was right, he would be the main character in the game. But now, it seemed like... the main character wasn't him?    

The sound came from about two feet above his head. Then, he compared it to the height of the young men and women around him... In other words, he was actually only at the height of someone else's palm?    

"What the heck..."    

Du Kang tried his best to raise his head and finally saw a slightly desolate face.    

He finally knew what kind of situation he was in right now.    

If he was not mistaken, he was probably in this person's hands right now.    

In other words...    

He had turned into a ring.    

"I..."    

Du Kang was so angry that he could not say a word.    

Well, he thought that what Nyarlathotep said about reading would be a novel thing. In the end, it was novel. However, he was really f * cking reading it. It even turned into a ring reading it. It was a complete waste of his anticipation of being the main character of the show.    

However, it didn't matter if he could only look at it. In any case, it would be Nyarlathotep who would be the one getting beaten up if it didn't look good.    

"Next, Wei Ying!"    

In Du Kang's line of sight, another girl was called in front of the stone tablet.    

This time, when it came to beauty and temperament, the girl on the stage was a bit better than the previous one. The young girl in a purple dress had already attracted everyone's attention just by walking up to the stage. However, she did not reveal any complacent expression. She only placed her slender hand on the stone tablet.    

After that, the crowd boiled.    

"How is that possible!"    

"I'm shocked!"    

"[Moon Qi 9th stage... How can it be 9th stage?]"    

"Reaching ninth stage of Moon Qi at such a young age, just a step away from condensing the Power of the Moon... This Wei Ying is so terrifying!"    

... "Ah?"    

Du Kang was stunned when he heard the voices around him.    

It was not the low level Power of the Moon, but the low level Moon Qi.    

In other words, this guy who seemed to be the main character on his hand was the high level contestant? But why would low-rank players be sought after, and high-rank players be mocked?    

Could it be because of his looks?    

Du Kang raised his head again to look at that lonely face. He felt that he had guessed the truth.    

That's right. No matter how capable this kid was, his face was just a public face. Of course, he wouldn't be chased by the crowd like those two young girls. Coupled with the fact that he had shot a bird that stood out, it was normal for him to be ostracized.    

"Sigh..."    

Du Kang couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.    

He was clearly capable, but he was born in a world where one looked at one's face. What happened to this kid reminded him of Abeino Seimei, who was once a human.    

Unfortunately, this old friend of his had already given up on humanity. And after that...    

"Forget it."    

Du Kang shifted his attention to his surroundings, trying his best not to think about those sad thoughts.    

However, even if he tried his best not to think about it, this kid in front of him still managed to gain some favorable impression from him. After all, he had always been treated as an ugly ghost. So, from a certain point of view, he could understand a little about this kid's feelings.    

"Do your best."    

Du Kang smiled at the young man in front of him.    

"Looks are not that important. As long as you have the ability, you can go to the world..."    

"Wei Lang!"    

Just as Du Kang was about to give his blessings to this young man, the girl on the stage, Wei Ying, passed through the crowd and walked towards the young man.    

After that, a slender hand grabbed the youth's palm.    

"I'm penetrating!"    

Feeling the temperature on his palm, Du Kang could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and cursed.    

He wanted to take back the words' empathy '.    

They were different.
