Game Over Not Over for Me novel Chapter 78

**Chapter 78: Footprints of the Snow Corpse!**

Fiona’s voice rang out with a clarity that demanded attention, drawing the gaze of every noble in the grand hall like moths to a flame.

The atmosphere shifted palpably, an undercurrent of tension weaving through the crowd as their expressions subtly morphed.

It was evident that they were all privy to the existence of the dungeon.

Footprints of the Snow Corpse.

Alden felt a jolt of surprise course through him.

+20 Free Coins.

Earlier, after he had harnessed the energy of a corpse, a quest had materialized before him, urging him to confront the Footprints of the Snow Corpse.

Despite the echoes of memories from his previous life, he found himself at a loss regarding the origins of this particular dungeon.

But now, clarity washed over him.

Only Abraxis had the power to unlock the Footprints of the Snow Corpse, which explained why the name had never crossed his ears before.

He observed the subtle shifts in the nobles’ expressions surrounding him, each flicker of their eyes revealing that this dungeon was far from ordinary.

“Frost King,” the king intoned, his voice both regal and commanding, “since my queen has already spoken on your behalf, I shall leave your fate in your own hands.”

“Two weeks in prison, or you may attempt to clear the Footprints of the Snow Corpse.”

Alden’s heart sank as his expression hardened, the weight of his predicament settling heavily upon him.

There was no escape route now; Fiona had effectively cornered him.

He could feel the ominous aura of danger that cloaked this dungeon.

It could potentially be one of those rare dungeons where players would respawn right at the location of their demise or at a predetermined point within its confines.

He recalled peculiar incidents from his past life where players faced such fates.

Instead of reappearing in the main city, they would either return to the exact spot where they had fallen or be sent back to the very first stage of the dungeon.

Which meant…

The only feasible option was to clear it.

Once upon a time, a team had been ensnared in a dungeon of this nature for an extended period.

Their escape had only come after they meticulously mapped out the terrain and employed a relay battle strategy to emerge victorious.

Dungeons like these shared a common thread—monsters would not respawn until the area was cleared.

+20 Free Coins.

If Alden managed to conquer the first stage and progressed to the second, the first stage would remain cleared, regardless of how long it took him to advance further.

That team had exploited this mechanic to their advantage.

They ensured that their group was not wiped out all at once.

If one of them fell, others would rush back from the first stage to rejoin the fray.

For the majority of players, a dungeon like this was a waking nightmare.

But for Alden?

This was the ideal scenario.

It was precisely the kind of challenge he relished.

He could infinitely stack his health.

The more formidable the dungeon, the better it suited his needs.

It was a veritable paradise for maximizing his HP.

Moreover, he already possessed a quest that would lead him there.

Two objectives, one expedition.

“Very well, Your Majesty,” Alden declared, his voice steady and resolute.

“I will accept the challenge of the Footprints of the Snow Corpse.”

Fiona let out a soft sigh of relief, a flicker of gratitude passing between them.

King Abraxis’s lips curled into a satisfied smile as he nodded in acknowledgment.

“Excellent. I eagerly anticipate your success in clearing the Footprints of the Snow Corpse.”

Alden turned his gaze toward Clarice, and their eyes locked with an understanding that transcended words.

Ding! “You have completed Clarice’s quest. Reward: Attribute Points 300, Blink 1.”

Blink: 1 Star.

18:03 Tue, Dec 16 Mj •

Effect: Instantly move 4.5 yards in any direction, even through solid objects.

Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Proficiency: 0/1000.

Alden’s brows arched in surprise; this was an unexpected boon.

The skill not only allowed him to phase through barriers but also came with no mana cost.

If he could enhance its star level, the advantages would be monumental.

“Frost King,” Abraxis said, his voice resonating with authority, “I am now opening the Footprints of the Snow Corpse for you. Are you prepared?”

Alden nodded firmly, determination etched on his face. “I’m ready.”

With a flourish, Abraxis raised his hands high, chanting an intricate sequence of glowing runes that twisted and danced in the air.

Then, a brilliant light cleaved through the space before Alden, revealing a shimmering portal that swirled with an ethereal glow.

Just as Alden had surmised, only Abraxis possessed the key to unlock this realm.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and crossed the threshold.

There was no level indicator present, but the difficulty was unmistakably set to one standard.
