BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1: Reborn Ten Years Ago, the Launch of the Eternal Game
Chapter 1: Reborn Ten Years Ago, the Launch of the Eternal Game
He felt as if there was someone in his arms, soft and with a fragrant scent.
This dream feels so real...
Just as he was thinking this, Luca suddenly jolted awake.
No way!
Wasn't I incinerated by The King of Rage? How can I still hear sounds?! With this thought, Luca abruptly opened his eyes.
He then saw, beneath him, a delicate and beautiful face full of shame and anger.
The girl looked only seventeen or eighteen, wearing a loose cartoon T-shirt, pinned under him, her fair face flushed red, eyes filled with embarrassment and anger.
And his big hand was currently placed on her pert chest, feeling soft to the touch.
"Susie? Weren't you dead ten years ago?" Luca looked at the girl beneath him, eyes full of shock.
Ten years ago, with the launch of the Eternal game, monsters quietly descended.
He remembered very clearly that the girl from the neighboring family and her relatives had tragically died at the hands of monsters in the first year of the game's arrival. In the end, it was he who buried Susie's family's remains in the Greenhill Cemetery of Celephais City.But what's happening now?Am I in hell?
Luca was bewildered, not understanding what had happened.
Susie, upon hearing his words, became even more furious and exclaimed, "Luca, you pervert! I came over kindly to bring you the game helmet, and not only did you take advantage of me, but you also cursed me!"
"Just wait until Uncle and Aunt come back, see how I'll report you!" With that, Susie grabbed Luca's hand and bit down hard.
"My God, it hurts! Are you a dog?!" Luca winced in pain and quickly got off Susie.
"Serves you right! See if you dare lay hands on me again!" Susie huffed angrily, very upset.
However, seeing the small teeth marks with her saliva on Luca's hand, her face blushed a little.
"Eternal is about to launch, you got lucky this time. I won't hold it against you, but if there's a next time, see how I'll deal with you." After saying this, Susie fled the bedroom, her face as red as a ripe peach.
But Susie didn't know that Luca had no time to care about her at this moment.
"This isn't a dream?!"
Luca felt the pain in his hand, eyes full of disbelief.
He had actually been reborn!
And he was reborn to ten years ago, on the day the Eternal game launched!
This is a day he would never forget.
On July 7, 2077, today, the national phenomenon-level virtual game "Eternal" is officially released!
This game, developed by the world's leading technology company "Zenith Technology Company." claims to have 100% realism and fully intelligent NPC characters, constructing an incredibly vast fantasy world.
As a result, Eternal quickly became a global sensation upon its release, attracting countless players and clubs to join!
But Luca knows that the game "Eternal" is far from being as simple as it seems!
In the previous lifetime, shortly after the launch of the Eternal game, many supernatural events started occurring worldwide.
Initially, no one paid much attention.
However, as time passed, more and more Eternal players acquired abilities from the game, and the monsters in the game started appearing in the real world.
It was only then that people realized the seriousness of the problem.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
A year after the launch of the Eternal game, the first Spatial Interaction between the Eternal world and the real world occurred.
Countless monsters broke through the Spatial Nodes, descending upon various corners of the Blue Star.
In this sudden disaster, cities were destroyed, millions of people were slaughtered, and The City of Celephais, being one of the first cities to be hit by the monsters, turned into ruins almost overnight.
It was on that day that his friends and family all perished at the hands of the monsters.
That was the most painful and despairing day of Luca's previous life, a day that remained vivid in his memory even after ten years.
"Since the heavens have given me a chance to do it all over again, I will never let those tragedies happen in this lifetime!" Luca clenched his fists, eyes blazing with determination.
In the previous life, although he was one of the first players to enter the game, he only treated Eternal as a pastime and did not take it seriously.
Therefore, when the Eternal world descended, Luca did not gain significant power at first, which left him with countless regrets that he would rue for life.
Now, with the experience from his previous life, he not only intends to make up for these regrets but also to find the scoundrels who created the Eternal game and make them pay for their actions!
The secrets of "Eternal" were not fully uncovered in the previous life. Luca only knew it was a game created by a highly advanced civilization.
But until his death, he had never seen the true face of this race, nor did he know their true purpose.
In this life, he will drag these scum out and turn them into mincemeat to honor the souls of those who died!
After calming his emotions, Luca checked the time and found it was already 8:14 in the morning.
There were only a few minutes left until the launch of "Eternal."
Luca didn't dare to delay.
He picked up the game helmet on the table, put it on, and lay down on the bed, entering the game in advance.
[Virtual helmet activated, scanning identity information...]
[Scan complete, player "Luca" identity confirmed successfully!]
[Establishing neural connection...]
[Neural connection established successfully, welcome player "Luca" to the world of Eternal!]
...
With the prompt, a flash of blue light appeared.
Then Luca found himself in a magnificent, majestic hall.
On either side of the grand hall stood six statues, each holding different weapons. They represented the six classes in the game: Warrior, Mage, Ranger, Assassin, Priest, and Life Skills professions.[Please choose your initial class!]"There's no way I'm choosing Warrior again!" Luca gritted his teeth.
Each class had its strengths and weaknesses.
In the previous lifetime, Luca was a Berserker, a type of Warrior. Early on, he enjoyed the high damage and strength, but as the game progressed and other classes developed, the Berserker's advantages were significantly diminished.
Additionally, upon selecting an initial class, each player would awaken a talent ability based on their class.
In the previous life, after choosing Warrior, Luca only awakened a useless B-level talent, which led to his defeat by The King of Rage, the leader of the Seven Demon Lords, on the extraterritorial battlefield.
So, in this life, he would never choose Warrior again!
After some consideration, Luca finally walked to the Mage statue.
[Are you sure you want to become an Apprentice Mage?]
Although Mages didn't stand out much early in the game due to low damage and weak health, they were the highest damage dealers in the later stages of the game. A single spell could kill thousands of monsters!
Luca also remembered a highly overpowered hidden class for Mages called the "Demonic Rune Mage."
This class could learn spells and use runes to enhance their body, making them extremely powerful in both close combat and ranged attacks. It perfectly combined the strengths of Warriors and Mages, born for battle!
With this in mind, Luca no longer hesitated and chose to confirm.
[Ding! Initial class confirmed successfully!]
[Congratulations on becoming an Apprentice Mage. Awakening your talent...]
[Congratulations on awakening the SSS-level talent "The Person Favored"!]
[The Person Favored (SSS-level): Unique talent, you are favored by the heavens, born extraordinary, with full attributes from the start!]
...
"An SSS-level talent?!" Luca was in disbelief as he looked at the game prompt in front of him.
He thought that choosing Mage might lower his talent level, but he never expected to awaken an SSS-level talent after choosing Mage!
Talents were ranked from E-level to SSS-level based on their strength.
The strength gap between players with different talent levels was enormous. An E-level talent player might struggle against ordinary monsters, while an S-level talent player could defeat Lord-level monsters!
In the previous lifetime, ten years after the game launched, there were only a handful of Human Race players with talents above S-level.
But those individuals became the top powerhouses of the Human Race!
Luca clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
With the experience from the previous lifetime and this super talent, his strength would improve at a rocket-like pace. When the monsters descended, he definitely wouldn't be as helpless as before!
At this moment, a game prompt appeared before Luca.
[Ding! Global Announcement!]
[The Eternal game has officially launched!]
[You are about to enter the world of Eternal. Please prepare!]
