Transcendent Dawn

“Damn it… I hardly caught up with the Beast Tide, and I hardly managed to pick up any Crystal Cores. I’m so unlucky!”

The Lord God game is connected through dreams, and players can enter the game by simply lying down to sleep. However, their bodies still need to eat, bathe, exercise, etc.

There are already companies that have developed special gaming pods that periodically replace a nutrient solution. It even has a weak electric current to stimulate the muscles, perfectly meeting the body’s needs. They claim that even if you are in ‘hibernation’ for an entire month, your body won’t become weak; it will instead become stronger.

However, such a device is clearly not something that a commoner like Luo Fei can afford.

The average lifespan of humans on Guni Star has reached 200 years, but wealth disparity still exists.

Luo Fei, 31 years old, from the 22nd District.

Unemployed, single, lives in a 20 square meter apartment.

“Eat and exercise quickly… then reenter the game.”

Firstly, he stood up, and the metallic furniture around him ‘melted’ in an instant. The bed and table disappeared, and with only the showerhead and sprinklers left, the whole bedroom immediately turned into a bathroom, and hot water rained down.

After taking a quick hot shower, a large amount of steam was recycled—a liquid metal formed the table and the lounge chair, turning it into a study.

This metal can not only change shape at will but also adjust its hardness. Sitting on the lounge chair was as soft and comfortable as a sofa.

“Ding! Your nutrient solution has arrived.”

At this time, a hole opened in the wall, and a takeaway box was passed in.

Luo Fei expressionlessly gulped down the nutrient solution, while tapping the table.

A laptop appeared. This was one of his few possessions.

“I need to work hard; I need to strive! Social classes are now solidified, and the possibility of climbing up is getting lesser. The only chance is the Lord God game…”

Luo Fei took a deep breath, encouraging himself.

He opened the internet and skillfully navigated to a forum.

Many posts on the forum were very popular, and there were various bits of information about the ‘Inner World’.

This was a very popular player’s forum in the 22nd District, and it also attracted many non-players.

Luo Fei knew very well that in the black market, the price of an invitation to the Lord God game had been speculated to over a hundred thousand Neil.

For this extraordinary game, outsiders who aren’t players are very curious.

Unfortunately, after the initial ‘secrecy’, ‘small-scale exchange’, and then ‘explosion’, the number of players stabilized at around one hundred million.

From this perspective, Luo Fei was at least luckier than 199 other people.

At this time, a pinned news post caught Luo Fei’s attention.

“The Destruction Dragon Boss Appears Again! The War God Guild is Wiped Out!”

“Huh? So the Destruction Dragon’s lair has been found? The War God Guild wanted to keep it all to themselves and ended up failing completely? It’s no wonder since it’s a world-class Seven Colors Boss, it’s truly tough!”

Because of a certain sense of jealousy, Luo Fei couldn’t help but feel some secret joy.

He looked at the time. This post had just been posted; it was probably done by a player from the War God Guild who had ‘died’ in battle.

While Luo Fei was hesitating whether or not to log on immediately to join in the excitement, more posts came out.

“Strong! Discussing the Three Ways to Attack the Destruction Dragon!”

“The Above Poster is a Liar! At this stage, no one can take down this Ultimate Boss!”

“Secret Post – Discussing the Abilities and Battle Power of the Destruction Dragon, as well as Speculating about its Origin!”

“The Hope for Professional Advancement – I will buy the Crystal Core dropped by the Destruction Dragon at any cost! Contact number XXX!!!”

“Dammit! The Shameless Destruction Dragon has run away again!”

“Hmm?”

Luo Fei clicked into the last post and found a Scattershot player who was complaining about the situation with teary eyes.

After the War God Guild was wiped out, the coordinates of the Destruction Dragon’s lair were leaked. Various guilds and players immediately organized a siege.

This time, they were well-prepared. After only half a day and at a loss of more than a hundred thousand, they managed to injure the Destruction Dragon severely.

However… that cunning and shameless Boss ran away again!!!

Below, players summarized their experiences, saying that it is definitely a wisdom-type boss, and it seems to be one that wanders around the entire world.

According to the latest information, it has already moved to another main city.

The guild there is currently organizing a new round of siege.

“Sigh… too bad, it’s not my problem.”

Luo Fei sighed after reading it all.

“Hehe… it might not be such a bad thing that you’re not involved.”

Just then, he suddenly heard an old voice sounding directly in his ear.

“Who?”

Luo Fei was startled, but when he looked around, there was no place in the room to hide a second person!

“Hallucinating?”

He slowly opened his mouth wide, touching his own forehead.

“There’s no need to look, I’m in your brain…” The old and joking voice sounded again.

“In my brain?” Luo Fei turned pale in an instant: “Oh no… I’m hearing a conversation from another personality, I have schizophrenia!”

“You fool, you don’t have a mental illness, and I’m not your personality! I am… a great being from outside the Spirit World!”

The voice spoke again.

“Being from outside the Spirit World… Spirit World?” Luo Fei unconsciously followed: “What place is that?”

“Hehe… haven’t you made the connection yet? The so-called Spirit World, is your game world!”

Su Lu said with a chuckle.

“Game world? You… who are you?”

Luo Fei was speechless. He got up: “No… my symptoms of schizophrenia are getting worse. I need to see a doctor… ”

‘This kid…’

In the Mental Secret Realm, Su Lu, who was watching all this, was somewhat speechless: “Should I say he’s smart or foolish?”

Due to the special circumstances of the world, he didn’t immediately descend into the Material Realm. Instead, he chose to ‘possess’ this Guni person named ‘Luo Fei’ at will.

At this point, he was just watching coldly as Luo Fei, an otaku, walked out of his residence and into a city full of science fiction flavor.

In the half-open space, transparent tubes were visible, and numerous ‘cloud-mobiles’ were shuttling back and forth within them.

The Hospital.

“Number 134, Luo Fei… everything is normal.”

After registration at the psychiatry department and a series of tests, a doctor impatiently waved his hand: “Young man… you don’t have a mental illness. What are you pretending for? Are you trying to escape legal punishment?”

“No… doctor, please check again. I think I’m really sick… ”

Luo Fei howled miserably, was kicked out of the hospital, and collapsed on the steps.

“Hehe… how is it?”

At this time, in his mind, the old voice sounded again: “According to your Guni personality tests and examinations, you’ve confirmed that you’re not suffering from multiple personality disorder. Don’t you believe me now?”

“Then who are you exactly? Where are you from?” Luo Fei, holding his head, suddenly asked.

“I’ve told you, I come from outside the Spirit World… you can call me ‘grandpa’.” Su Lu inside the Mental Secret Realm slightly curled the corners of his mouth into a mischievous smile: “And I won’t possess your body. I will leave soon, and before I leave, I’ll give you a little help and gift…”
