Pro Player: Conqueror
Chapters 3.
I ate about 250 grams of beef and drank a few glasses of liquor, but my body still did not feel warm. Very quaint.
I checked the time and noted that it is 10:30, which means that “Surgawi” will start in just an hour and a half. Hundreds of millions of gaming fans had to stay close to their gaming equipment and wait anxiously for the moment; the moment in which they enter an entirely new virtual reality and create a legend of their new and immortal self.
I turned on the computer and saw the MSN avatar blink rapidly. He Yi had sent a total of 47 messages while I was away—
“Lu Chen, are you there? I'm in the hospital now. Where you ... “
“Lu Chen, I've tried calling your phone, but I can't get through ..”
“Lu Chen, I couldn't find you even after I returned to the crash site. Where're you? “
“Wuuu, please don't scare me, Lu Chen ..”
“Lu Chen, what happened to you? Where do you Please .. I .. “
“Wuuu, Lu Chen ..”
Seeing these messages made me feel very uncomfortable. My hands are on the keyboard, but I don't know what to type. In the end, I came to a difficult decision. I won't call He Yi. Because right now, I am not helping the Ancient Dream Sword Soul guild. It would be better if he forgot me completely than dragging a burden like I was with him.
So, I deleted my MSN account and searched on the official website “Heavenblessed”.
……
Now, the number of people waiting online to join the game has reached a whopping number of seven hundred million. It was definitely an unprecedented feat — and for now, unbeaten —!
Moreover, there was a news headline presented in capital letters on the official website of Spirit of Grief: Falling Dust, the genius of the era, suffering a great defeat before leaving that place with the deletion of an account.
Over thirty thousand people left replies to news posts. Countless people feel sorry for me.
I gulped down another spicy drink before smiling in relief. The best way to deal with this goddamn life is a little optimism. “Heh, Heavenly, I'm coming!”
I waited for a while until after 11. Then, I put on my gaming helmet.
Green flashes and retinal scans confirmed my identity. When I entered the game registration page, I noticed that the opening scene had been added to the— page
The world has been ravaged by war. Bright and red blood color spread. The forests withered, the main cities of humans collapsed into rubble, there were plagues everywhere, and mountain-high piles of corpses. There were humans, elves, succubi, barbarians, and many other races. A foul smell occasionally entered my nose, and the corpses stretched all the way to the horizon. Giant trees could be seen standing high up on the barren horizon.
It was the World Tree, the origin of all life and protector of the laws of nature.
But the World Tree began to wither, and the gods perished one after another. The entire Heavenly Continent was dipped in blood as the terrifying race slaughtered all the lives that entered his sight.
The images changed, and the scenery turned to the battlefield in the huge valley. I was immediately stunned to see the scene in front of me—
There were many armies made up of different races. The clang of the weapon never stopped, and the sky was almost destroyed by the banner. The barbarian king dressed in heavy armor swung his battle axe and let out a terrifying roar as his tribe swung their weapons towards their opponents with all their might. However, their enemies were quick and deadly, and their counterattacks pierced through the bodies of the soldiers like nothing. The entire place was filled with screams and the smell of blood.
Under the lion banner, the beautiful human queen pulled her sword and shouted, “Serang!”
Countless human warriors responded to the command, raised their swords and charged boldly towards the front. The witches hiding in the dark muttered inaudible chants, their incantations, huge fireballs that shot towards their enemies.
The fighting is increasing and getting more intense. The cries in the valley were deafening, and the smell of blood was thick and ever-present.
The human queen grew a pair of beautiful butterfly wings and plunged into the battlefield. Wherever his sword danced, countless undead heads flew high into the air.
However, a mist suddenly descended to the ground, turning into a mysterious figure. A cold flash later, the human queen collapsed, and her head was propped up by her killer. His mist-like corpse let out a terrifying roar, as if ordering all races to submit to it.
The ground is colored red. The soldiers turned into cold, lifeless bodies.
In the end, only one human warrior was still standing on top of the corpse hill and slashed apart the monstrous creature in half.
Drenched in blood but refusing to give up, he raised his sword and roared furiously at the undead leader. The two combatants charged at each other at the same time as the two heavenly Armaments clashed, dominating the spotlight to the point of engulfing the entire world!
“About!”
Metal rings do not die even when everything slowly fades. Finally, a word slowly rose from the horizon — Blessed!
I took a deep breath after it was over. What an impressive opening scene! It was no wonder that Heavenblessed claimed to be a classic that would surpass the Spirit of Grief. The cinematic promotion alone was enough to make my blood pump!
My soul slowly flew towards the welcoming temple. A fairy danced in front of me before the sweet female synthetic voice entered my ears—
Ding ~!
System Notification: Hello, valued users. You are confirmed as CGL Hall of Famer server China. Will you bring your previous ID: Falling Dust?
I thought for a moment before rejecting the option. Then, I entered a new ID: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!
Sounds artistic and poetic, right? It reflects Roberto Baggio's sadness and Gabriel Batistuta's heroism, and it sounds pretty cool enough to lure one or two beautiful women. It really is one of a kind!
In the previous game, after becoming one of the twenty-seven most famous players from the Chinese server, I was given the prize of this very valuable gaming helmet.
Two years ago, I was one of the hottest and most powerful players in the Spirit of Grief. But life is not as predictable as the weather, and after a car accident damaged my brain stem, my whole life was delayed a full 3 seconds. What this means is that each instruction sent by my brain takes 3 seconds to process before the appropriate action occurs.
The most eagerly awaited young star in the Chinese territory simply vanished. Genius became trash, and I became the biggest joke of the CGL Hall of Fame China. My friends left me, and for a moment I was at the lowest point of my life.
But a woman stretched out an olive branch and pulled me out of it. It was my boss, a beautiful, strong and charismatic woman. But I let him down, and the guild lost again and again. In the end, we lost to Candlelight Shadow so badly and thoroughly that our three thousand guilds were slaughtered until only the five of us remained.
Our opponent is very scary.
Candlelight Shadow is proudly known as “God of War” in the gaming industry. He is also the number one player of the Chinese server.
……
I smiled . There is no denying that I was good and completely damaged in the previous game. It is true that I was the winner when I entered the CGL Hall of Fame, but the countless defeats I suffered after the car accident also marked me as a loser. That's why He Yi defines me as “winloser”!
That's why I named myself “Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand”. It was a reminder for myself not to fall into the same trap again, like how Su Qin tied his hair to the ceiling and stabbed himself to study harder!
Now it's time to confirm my race and class, also the most anticipated part of the registration process. Hmm, I want to be a cool and handsome human knight with high defense and explode. It will also help cover up my shortcomings.
Heavenblessed is a full-body virtual reality game. There are ten classes to choose from: Warrior, Magic Knight, Mage, Archer, Wanderer, Tactician, Tamer, Priest, Bard and Assassin. They all had their own specialties, but there was nothing I liked about it other than the melee classes. A real man should always fight close and personal on the battlefield!
A series of character models appeared in front of me. There was a Warrior wearing armor, a Magic Knight riding a horse, a Mage swinging around, an Archer holding a bow, a Tactician, a Priest and so on.
The system also scans the player's body during the character creation process. I feel a slight pain in my head – something like mosquito bite – and blood sample taken from my body.
Ding ~!
System Notification: According to the scan, your heart rate is 30% lower than normal people!
System Notice: According to the scan, your body temperature is 70% below normal standard!
System Notice: According to the scan, your blood activity and viscosity is 40% below normal standard!
System Notification: According to the scan, your brainwave activity is 20% higher than that of a normal person!
System Notification: According to the scan, your vital signs are 50% weaker than normal people!
The notice kept coming, and I was very surprised. Whatisthis? Is my VIP level gaming helmet actually fake?
That's when the notification bell rings again.
Ding ~!
System Notice: Your physique matches the requirements to obtain the hidden warrior class, the Dead Swordsman. Do you accept?
I was stunned for two whole minutes. Then, I looked up and laughed like a madman!
“Hahaha, what an amazing gift! To think I would get a secret class before even entering the game! Undead warrior, melee class with a special race? Only an idiot would refuse this offer! “
I clicked accept without hesitation.
Moments later, a game character appeared before my eyes. He was a cold zombie, wielding a sword wearing black armor from head to toe in a bloody battle armor!
The design satisfies me. A smile involuntarily flashed across my face as I said to myself, “Not bad. Now, I have to get ready to enter the game! ”
It was 11:57 pm, less than 3 minutes from the official start of Heavenblessed. My heart was beating fast, and blood was boiling inside my body. The past is putting itself back in my head. Hmph, I will take back all that I have lost with my own hands!
Time kept ticking as I waited at the welcome temple. I'm sure many players around the world feel the same desire and anticipation as me.
Finally, the hour hand reaches 12. The game is now officially released!
Ding ~!
System Notification: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, do you want to enter the game immediately?
Aye!
Light flashed before my eyes, and I entered the Heavenly world. Then, a ding told me that the first player to enter the game, i.e., I, was given the opportunity to shoot the lottery. Congrats! You have obtained a super heavenly Armament — Great Lord Sword!
And then I woke up. Obviously, it was a complete pipedream.
……
My eyes were covered by an endless curtain of mist. I heard a slow sigh from far, far away. “Wake up, oh left dead!”
Rustle…
The sound of the ground rolling entered my ears as I dug the ground covered myself with all my might. Finally, I broke through the ground and was immediately greeted with grunts and death. If that wasn't enough, the person in front of me surprised me even more!
I will call him the man wearing the black magician robe, but he is not a real man. His face was rotten, and he lost more than half of his flesh. The only intact organ in his body was probably an eyeball swirling in its sockets, and calling it scary would be too little statement. The hand he used to grip the stick was completely rotten, left with white bones.
He is an undead witch!
