MMORPG: I Can See Hidden Information Novel - Chapter 94
Chapter 94: New Instructions From the Hidden Information
Fike proceeded to flip through the last few pages of the first chapter of the Primordial Power, and began cultivating as per its instructions.
This time, as he channeled the power, it didn’t feel the same as it did the first time.
Fike only felt his body become warm as a burst of golden light appeared above his head, shining brilliantly like a rising sun at dawn.
He did not feel any pain.
Instead, a comfortable sensation spread throughout his body.
Countless streams of golden light started to radiate from the pores of his body, as a third, golden eye appeared on his forehead once again.
“Ah!”
Fike cried out in surprise.
It wasn’t because he had been in pain.
Rather, this feeling was more like the sensation he had felt in the final moments of his intimate exchange with Molly.
A wave of comfort washed over him as all the rays of golden light reentered into his body.
Fike finally opened his eyes, finding a notification from the hidden message.
[Hidden Information: Congratulations on cultivating the Demigod’s Body. Upon successful cultivation of the Demigod’s Body, you have been enabled to roam freely throughout the entire world of Miracle. Aside from ancient spells and divine weapons, normal attacks will not be able to cause any damage to you.]
Fike blinked at the hidden message in confusion.
“Strange… The last time I cultivated the Overlord’s Body, the hidden message did not send me any notice. Why would it suddenly give me a notification this time?
“Could it be…?”
Just as Fike had been puzzled, another notification appeared.
[Hidden message: Hello, Fike, I am the chief designer and developer of Miracle. My name is Hankov. In the real world, we are detecting signs that the world of Miracle is gradually collapsing. Countless dungeons have been appearing, allowing new species to invade the program. We are unfortunately unable to make any adjustments or changes to this.]
[Hidden Information: As for Miracle itself, although this may just be a game to the players, the collective behavior of all players of Miracle may affect the developments that occur in the real world.]
Seeing as this guy, Hankov, had used the hidden information system to send him messages directly, Fike was a little excited. He thought to himself.
‘Can I talk back to the hidden message now?’
[Hidden Information: That’s right, dear Fike, you may indeed talk to us!]
After seeing the hidden message again, Fike asked.
‘Why can I see hidden messages, but other players can’t?’
[Hidden Information: Regarding your question, the developers of Miracle are unsure as well. Currently, Hankov is the only one who knows that you have this hidden message system.]
After receiving the feedback, Fike continued to ask.
‘Why didn’t Hankov communicate with me the moment he received the news? Why did he wait until now?’
[Hidden Information: Hankov has been attempting to make contact with you ever since he found out about your situation. However, due to technical limitations, he has been unable to get in touch with you after he sent out the message. For this, we are deeply sorry.]
‘Then will the hidden message be retrieved in the future?’
[Hidden Information: Currently, it won’t. The rate at which Miracle is collapsing is gradually increasing. It could be said that you may indeed be the last hope of Miracle!]
[Hidden Information: In order to allow you to more smoothly wipe out the Exotic Beasts and suppress the power of the evil god, Mr. Hankov has utilized his highest authority to endow you with a few treasure chests in the later stages of the game. You should have received them by now.]
Reading what the hidden message had just said, Fike immediately realized what it was referring to, but he asked regardless.
‘Are they the two that dropped when I defeated the Overlord-tier and Demon Prince-tier Exotic Beasts?”
[Hidden Information: That’s right, those are the two. Typically, in Miracle, the treasure chests dropped by Exotic Beast should correlate to their levels.]
‘No wonder simply defeating an Overlord-tier Exotic Beast had been enough to drop such a powerful Infinite Ring, the blueprints of the Auto Demon Repelling Formation, and even a Miracle Fragment.’
[Hidden Information: In exchange for providing you with these privileges, Mr. Hankov is currently wanted by the human headquarters. Mr. Hankov is about to log into the world of Miracle himself as a player. In the future, he will contact you.]
[Hidden Information: You need to level up to level 200 as soon as possible. Only then will you stand a chance of clearing the dungeon of the Beast Tower.]
Seeing the notifications from the hidden message pour in, Fike felt that the burden on his shoulders had become much heavier.
‘So Mr. Hankov has placed all his hopes on me?’
Fike’s tone seemed to be a little heavy as he asked this.
Truthfully, in his heart, ever since that day in Ledda City, he already knew that Miracle had become much more than just a game to him.
Suddenly thinking of something, he asked again.
“Hidden information, why was I told that day in Miracle Forest that I wouldn’t be able to log in again if I died? Could that possibly be related to the collapse of Miracle as well?”
[Hidden Information: That’s right. Based on our current estimations, we’ve deduced that the collapse is spreading towards the Royal City of Romon where you are now. We expect its arrival in three months.]
[Hidden Information: In a ‘collapsed’ area, if a player dies, they will not be able to revive or respawn. In other words, the death of the host will follow in the real world.]
Fike nodded in shock as he looked warily at the notification from the hidden message.
‘Looks like I’ll have to be more careful in the future.’
After the conversation with the hidden message had ended, although Fike’s heart had been stirred, it had not completely altered his state of mind.
He still had to rest well. After all, he was still in the running for the matches of the freshmen trial tomorrow.
…
The first rays of the morning sun broke into Fike’s bedroom.
Fike felt as if his body was being pressed down by something.
Opening his drowsy eyes, he found Sertia sitting on his body, gazing intently at his sleeping face.
“Fike, you’re awake?”
She whispered gently.
“Do you want to sleep for a while more? The competition will only start and finish! I’ll call you after!”
Hearing this, Fike hurriedly got up.
“No need! No need! By the way, how did you know which room was mine, and how did you get in?”
Sertia smiled as she replied.
“Are you stupid? I just looked up the information of the new students in your Spell School and I found your room number. As for how I got in…”
Sertia looked into Fike’s eyes that had not fully opened.
“Have you forgotten that I’m an assassin?”
