I Have a Sailing Game

Seeing this, Rogel fell into deep thought.

Actually, the path before him wasn’t just a simple fork; there was another route.

That was to ignore this hidden path and choose to head straight to the altar.

However, doing so would mean that Sela would go to the altar without knowing the truth.

"Let’s see what’s different among the three options."

Rogel thought to himself.

Soon after, he made his choice.

He chose to go to the altar after discovering the truth.

[You thought of the pain from being deceived all this journey, and the tribe and crops deceived to death by the Tooth Spirit.]

[Whether from guilt towards your tribe and grandfather, or hatred for the evil totem of the Tooth Spirit, you must not let it just devour Qina and achieve its goals!]

[Thinking of this, you resolutely threw away the manuscript in your hand, took a deep breath, and walked towards the altar with firm steps.]

[Upon reaching the altar.]

[As expected, you saw the Tooth Spirit, statue-like in appearance, but it seemed so repulsive in your eyes now.]

["My devout believer Sela, I need you to touch the evil Stone of Qina..."]

[The feigned majestic and mysterious voice of the Tooth Spirit echoed in your ears.]

[You suppressed the anger in your heart, respectfully saluting it, then walked forward under the pounding of your heart and its watchful gaze, and touched the Stone of Qina.]

[The Stone of Qina radiated brilliance, and your body gradually began to fuse with the Stone.]

[Your courage was acknowledged by the Stone of Qina!]

[The Tooth Spirit beside you bared its fangs as a hideous smile appeared on its face.]

["I’ve waited for this moment for a long time!"]

[At that moment, the Tooth Spirit suddenly became gruesome, opening its huge mouth full of foul saliva, devouring you and Stone of Qina whole.]

[...]

[After you were devoured along with the Stone of Qina.]

[You struggled relentlessly with the power of Qina, vowing to perish together with it.]

[However, it seemed the Tooth Spirit had foreseen this.]

[Your struggles were in vain.]

[The power of the Tooth Spirit, you, and the Stone of Qina began to fuse in an eerie manner at this moment.]

["My devoted follower, your courage is commendable..."]

[The Tooth Spirit let out a hearty yet sinister laugh.]

["But from now on, you will be an indispensable part of me."]

["I will use you and Qina to spread Faith, while I hide in the shadows, biding my time, devouring flesh, becoming the lurking filth!"]

[With that, the body of the Tooth Spirit gradually crouched, lying down, limbs on the ground.]

[Its face was deeply buried, almost embedded into the scapula.]

[Meanwhile, Qina’s face appeared on what was originally its forehead, and a layer of smooth, bright fur grew on its body.]

[It now looked indistinguishable from Qina, except its pupils were dull and lifeless, and black oil continuously oozed from its jaw.]

[You fused with Qina but did not dissipate, and the origins and enmity between it and Qina were also revealed to you.]

[You and it became one, fully aware of each other, but it was in control of your body.]

[Held tightly by the Tooth Spirit, in its mind, you watched this in despair, crying out frantically...]

[But no one could hear your screams.]

[The worst ending unfolded.]

[The Tooth Spirit awakened and completely devoured the power of Qina, using your fused form with Qina henceforth to spread Faith and attract believers.]

[Meanwhile, it continued lurking in the shadows, conducting secret rituals, devouring flesh and filth.]

[In endless time, you would helplessly watch yourself become an accomplice of the Tooth Spirit...]

[Exploration Completion: 100%]

[Ending Achieved: Sacred Shell.]

[Unlocked Scenario: Tooth Spirit Sacred Land Qina.]

[With exploration completion reaching 100%, all scenarios have been unlocked. The Lamp of the Dying will soon vanish, and automatic exit from the Lamp of the Dying will commence.]

[Rewards are about to be distributed.]

Seeing this scene unfold.

Rogel’s brows furrowed deeply.

The scenario unlocking was completed, meaning there were no more scenarios left to unlock in the Lamp of the Dying.

One was forced to become an accomplice of the Tooth Spirit; the other, battling the Tooth Spirit to the death, resulted in it becoming the source of filth, contaminating the entire Qina Island.

It seemed no matter what, Sela and Qina Island were doomed to a bad ending.

"Oh well, let’s see the remaining two endings first."

Rogel decided to watch all the outcomes of the choices.

Soon after.

He saw the results of the remaining two paths.

The first was to "return the way you came" upon entering the hidden passage. After selecting this option, it returned you to the entrance of the hidden passage.

At that moment, besides going to the altar, a new [Escape] option appeared.

However, this option had a very poor outcome.

Upon choosing this, Sela was encountered by the "Bishop" mentioned multiple times before she even stepped out.

She would be forcibly taken to the altar by the Bishop.

This confirmed Rogel’s suspicion.

The hidden passage was indeed a deliberate ruse by the Bishop.

The purpose was for her to summon the Stone of Qina with enough courage even after uncovering the truth.

Unfortunately, the Sela who chose the [Escape] option lacked the qualifications to awaken the Stone of Qina.

This infuriated both the Tooth Spirit and the Bishop, who mercilessly reduced Sela to ashes...

Then came the final path, heading directly to the altar without entering the hidden passage.

This route was the most dramatic.

Unlike Sela who went after discovering the truth.

This path’s Sela could be described as fanatical.

She still held the qualifications to awaken the Stone of Qina, and was similarly devoured by the Tooth Spirit, becoming an accomplice.
