I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [251]

----- Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli) has joined the group chat -----

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: Lately, I keep feeling like the world has subtly changed somehow.

[Canned Food Reigns Supreme! (Yuuri)]: Same here. I used to feel more connected to despair, but now I feel like I'm getting closer to hope instead! Despair? Who even is that?

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: I feel it too. At the very least, the possibility of wiping out the entire disgusting Tendo family seems more real now. I'm just feeling... happier. Ahh, hurry up and let me learn how to surpass this world—how to surpass the power of human governments. When that time comes, I’ll finally be able to kill every single person I hate.

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: Miss Tendo, it seems like you’re holding onto so much anger and pain in your heart... But please, don’t let it consume you. I know you might not listen to what I say, though.

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: I know. Even though my heart is scorched by rage, I don’t hate everyone. At least I still go to school like a normal person. I still hang out with friends... At the very least, I can maintain the appearance of normalcy.

[Canned Food Reigns Supreme! (Yuuri)]: Kisara, I get the feeling you’re getting along better with despair now.

[Canned Food Reigns Supreme! (Yuuri)]: But hey, it’s the apocalypse in your world, right? Totally normal. In my world, I’ve met quite a few people who ended up becoming best buds with despair. Don’t worry about it, don’t worry about it. As long as there’s chocolate to eat, as long as there’s canned food left, then none of it really matters, right?

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: .....

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: I may not understand fully. But Yuuri, for some people, there are things more important than life itself.

[Canned Food Reigns Supreme! (Yuuri)]: Hmm, okay, I guess I don’t really get it.

[Kumoko (???)]: Hold up a sec!

[Kumoko (???)]: First: Never take life lightly.
Second: Never give up hope.
Third: In the face of despair, charge forward even harder.

[Kumoko (???)]: In desperate times, your companions rise! Captain Kumoko, shining debut!

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: ??? Miss Kumoko, do you have some deep life advice to share?

[Kumoko (???)]: Nah, I just thought those lines sounded really cool and always wanted to say them. Sorry, got a little carried away.

[Kumoko (???]): But seriously, I do think that even if you’re stuck in an apocalyptic hellscape, you shouldn’t lose hope. You should fight on for yourself and the ones you care about. Keep pushing till the very end, never giving up—that’s what someone trapped in despair should do.

[Kumoko (???)]: Of course, the most important part of all this... is keeping a positive attitude. As long as you stay upbeat, there’s no hardship you can’t overcome!

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: Pfft, such boring righteousness. I know what you said is correct, but a human heart can’t contain absolute truths.

[Kumoko (???)]: Mm, fair. I was just spouting off. If you think I’m wrong, just ignore it.

Kumoko (???): Anyway, I didn’t join the chat today just to shoot the breeze.

@Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli) — Mr. Zhongli, are you coming to my world today? I already received your 1,000 points. I can now buy a Low-Level Mission Card!

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: Yes. Thank you for your help.

[Kumoko (???)]: Hehehe, Mr. Zhongli~ Actually, I have a tiny, tiny request. Would you maybe be willing to hear me out?

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: If you already know it’s an unreasonable request, then perhaps it’s better left unsaid.

[Kumoko (???)]: …..????

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: Just kidding. Since I’ve already benefited from your help, aiding you in return falls within the bounds of our contract. It’s part of the deal.

[Kumoko (???)]: Thank you so much, Mr. Zhongli! [Spider Rubbing Hands.gif] It's hard to explain everything in the chat, so I’ll tell you more once you arrive in my world.

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: No problem.

[Kumoko (???)]: ….
[Kumoko (???)]: ….

[Kumoko has generated a Low-Level Mission...]
[Timeframe: Mid-Term; Official]
[Requirement: Combat-Ready Participants]
[Mission Objective Description: This is a world drowned in despair. Endless desire destroyed it. A divine power from a higher plane reset it. Human souls can never find rest—they must endlessly sacrifice their strength. Death, suffering, sorrow, and the terror of being unable to live accompany humanity throughout its existence. Why hasn’t this world become a full-blown apocalypse yet? It’s only because the higher being known as “D” finds it amusing. In this world, the only way to survive is to please her. If you dare resist... well, you can guess the outcome.]
[Warning: This mission is extremely dangerous. Not recommended for group members without top-tier combat power.]
[Reward: 1,000 points (auto-generated by Low-Level Mission + 10,000 additional points provided by the user)]
[Note 2: As a Low-Level Mission Card, high or top-tier combatants cannot enter. Recommended for all group members to forgo this mission.]
[Note 3: You're broke, unlucky, and stingy. Only a bleeding-heart saint or some incomprehensible entity that doesn’t care about points would even think of accepting this mission.]

[Kumoko (???)]: ....
[Kumoko (???)]: Why does it feel like the mission description is personally mocking me? Whatever. @Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli) — Mr. Zhongli, are you coming now?

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: Yes. I'm on my way.

[Kumoko (???)]: Hahaha! Anyone else want to come too? Kumoko’s world is super awesome and open to visitors today!

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: That "Note 2" and "Note 3" clearly say your world is ridiculously dangerous. Who in their right mind would go there?

[Kumoko (???)]: Hahaha, how shallow! My world is a gamified data world. That means if you train, you will gain skills! If you try, you will improve! Isn’t that way better than most worlds?

[Kumoko (???)]: Eh, whatever. You guys just don’t get it.

[Kumoko (???)]: Mr. Zhongli, Mr. Zhongli! Hurry up and come on over!
