Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Latest news, the anticipated holographic online game Infinite Worlds will officially open at 12: 00 today!”

“A real holographic online game, or a second world for humans!”

“This epoch-making game is about to unveil the mystery!”

“…”

In front of the computer, Chu Qi looked at the various messages on the Internet with an indifferent expression.

A month ago, an unknown game company announced a holographic online game, Infinite Worlds. Once the game was announced, it attracted the attention of players all over the world.

In just a few days, the game world had undergone an earth-shattering change. All the major game guilds and professional players fought to join.

After all, this was the first real holographic online game in the world.

“So far, the development trajectory of the world is exactly the same as in my previous life…”

Chu Qi, who was browsing the information, smiled slightly..

That’s right, Chu Qi was a reborn person.

He used the forbidden item, Time Hourglass, to reverse time and return to the day of the game launch.

In his previous life.

After the game invaded the real world, Chu Qi happened to obtain this item.

However, in a subsequent battle, human civilization was completely defeated. Chu Qi had no choice but to use the [Time Hourglass] to return to the day of the game launch.

Unfortunately, Time Hourglass was a one-time use item. It vanished forever after being used.

“A year later, the game will invade the real world. If I can awaken an S-level talent like in my previous life, in addition to my future memories and combat skills…”

“Maybe this time, my strength can reach an unprecedented level.”

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Chu Qi’s eyes.

He looked up at the time on the computer.

September 25, 2025, 11: 59 p.m.

The game would be launched in one minute. Chu Qi lay in the gaming capsule and logged into the game.

When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in an imposing temple.

“Welcome to ‘Infinite Worlds’. Please head to the hall to awaken your talent.”

After hearing the system prompt, Chu Qi walked straight to the Awakening Array in the hall.

“Awakening talent 10%… 50%… 70 %…”

Ding… congratulations on obtaining forbidden talent [Soul Reaper (Unique)]. ‘

Chu Qi’s pupils suddenly constricted.

“F*ck!”

“There’s actually a Forbidden-level talent?!”

Chu Qi exclaimed after seeing the awakened talent.

In Infinite Worlds, talents were divided into E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.

He originally thought that an SSS-level talent was the strongest, but he never expected there to be a Forbidden-level talent.

Wouldn’t he just become strong right away?

“Fuu…”

Chu Qi took a deep breath and calmed down. He then looked at the talent introduction.

Soul Reaper (Unique)

Level: Forbidden

Effect: After killing monsters that are not lower than your level, you can harvest their souls. You will obtain 1 point for all attributes and a skill. The skill you obtain will be transformed into a passive skill that is compatible with your class. At the same time, your pets and summoned items can also be used.

“This talent… is too strong!”

“As expected of a Forbidden Talent. You can actually obtain all stat bonuses and passive skills!”

With his previous life’s memory, Chu Qi knew very well that the strength of the Boss was not only its high health and attack power, but also its various powerful skills.

If he could obtain the Boss’ skill, wouldn’t he become a humanoid Boss?!

Thinking of this, Chu Qi was extremely excited.

Ding… Talent has been awakened. Player, please choose your class. ‘

Ding… discovered that the player has awakened a special talent. The corresponding hidden class has been activated. ‘

As the system notification sounded, statues of various professions appeared around Chu Qi.

The figure and appearance of the statue were identical to Chu Qi’s.

Especially after wearing all kinds of equipment, his already outstanding appearance appeared even more handsome and extraordinary.

On the head of the humanoid statue were the names of the various occupations.

They were the Warriors, Assassins, Mages, Archers, Summoners, Paladins, and Guardians.

At this moment, Chu Qi did not pay attention to the other professions. Instead, he looked at the hidden occupation mentioned by the system.

[Undead Lord]

Introduction: A summoning-type mage that can control undead creatures. Not only does it have terrifying damage output, its survival ability is also very outstanding. It is unable to carry out subsequent Class Advancement, but it can increase its level.

“This…”

Chu Qi also knew that there were hidden occupations in the game, but only those who entered the game would have the chance to change their occupation.

Now that he could choose directly, he had undoubtedly won at the starting line.

No!

With his Forbidden Talent and his hidden job, he was almost at the end of the road.

Thinking of this, Chu Qi did not hesitate and directly chose the [Undead Lord].

When summoned creatures could enjoy the effects of the talent, [Undead Lord] was very suitable for this talent.

Just think about it, after Chu Qi plundered countless Bosses, not only would he be extremely powerful, his summoned creatures would also become Boss-level existences.

At that time, Chu Qi could only use two words to describe it:

Invincible!

Ding… job chosen. Please enter your ID. ‘

“Falling Dust.”

Chu Qi decisively used the name from his previous life.

“Character creation completed. Player interface has been created.”

ID: Falling Dust

Level: 1

Occupation: Undead Lord (First Stage)

Health: 100

Magic Power: 160

Magic Attack: 32

Strength: 10, Intelligence: 16, Agility: 10, Constitution: 10

Defense: 20

Critical Hit Chance: 0

Talent: [Soul Reaper (Unique)]

Technique: [Summoning Skeleton Warrior (Iron)]

[Summoning Skeleton Warrior (Iron)]

Skill Level: 1

Effect: Summon two skeleton warriors of the same level as the players to help in the battle. The various attributes of the skeleton warriors are affected by the intelligence of the players. There can be two at most.

Mana Cost: 30, Cooldown: 60 seconds

…

The basic attributes of the Undead Lord were similar to that of ordinary jobs, but because it was hidden, its Intelligence stat was 6 points higher than other jobs.

It had to be known that every level up in the “Infinite Worlds” would reward one with 3 Free Attribute Points. 6 Intelligence Points represented two levels of attributes.

With 1 Intelligence point equal to 2 Magic Attack points, Chu Qi had 12 more Attack points than the others at level 1.

After entering the game, they would directly be far ahead of others.

After checking his attributes, Chu Qi closed the interface and walked to the teleportation formation at the side.

Ding… Do you want to enter the game immediately? ‘

Seeing the notification in front of him, Chu Qi chose to confirm without hesitation.

“Ding… according to the actual coordinates, you will be assigned to the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon’s sphere of influence.”

After the notification ended, Chu Qi entered the game wrapped in a white light.
