Sigh! Creation is really too hard.
I had to think for more than a week to completely revitalize this book so I would be able to continue writing.
OK! enough glooming.
To all my dear readers out there, thank you for being patient and not deleting the book from you library. Trust me, writing isn't easy.
And please do me the honor of reading to the end before deciding to read or delete as you wish.
Now, I made some changes to the overall book but unlike my other novel, I will still follow the main timeline and the changes to everything in general won't exceed 20%.
The main reason why I even dare to change I is because my number of readers isn't much.
only more than 250 collections. Pitiful, isn't it😁
OK, the first announcement is that the power ranking system has changed. My original intent when starting the book was to have it in the same format as Solo Levelling.
However, I wanted mine to be different from the regular online video game novels so here are the new rankings.
Martial Artists/ Beastmasters and Newborns
Martial Artists: Attribute related Characters that increase their physical attributes. After reaching a certain level, they can harness Qi and spiritual energy.
Those who advance in the martial part in the modern world are usually those who didn't awaken an Ability and couldn't be classified as a newborn.
Basic stage Martial disciples
Intermediate stage Martial disciples
Advanced stage Martial disciples
Adept Realm Martial Artists
1st Stage to 5th stage ( After reaching this rank, they can begin to absorb Adept energy )
Warrior realm Tier martial artists
1st Stage to 5th stage ( After reaching this stage, Adept energy turns to Qi )
Master Realm Martial Artists
1st Stage to 5th stage
Grandmaster Realm Martial Artists
1st Stage to 5th stage
Origin realm Martial Artists
1st Stage to 7th stage [ Qi turns to origin energy ]
Spirit realm Martial Artists
1st Stage to 7th stage [ Creating the inner Core ]
Spirit Lord realm Martial Artists
1st Stage to 8th Stage [ Formation of Void Energy ]
The rank will continuously be updated after I get to a level where I need to introduce a higher stage of martial artists.
....
BeastMasters: Those who were born with the ability to contract with powerful or mediocre beasts. Their physical prowess is on a whole level weaker than Martial artists but their powerful beasts nurtures their body to a certain extent through spiritual power.
Their fighting abilities are mainly derived from their beastial companions.
[Their other capabilities will be introduced as you read along]
Starting Ranks.
Basic level beast apprentice
Intermediate level Beast disciple
Advanced level Beast User
Beast Tamers
Ranks: 1 -5
Beast Warriors
Ranks 1 - 5
Beastmasters

Beast Grandmasters
Rank 1 - 5[ Able to achieve beast Fusion ]
Epic Beastmasters
Rank 1 - 7
Legendary Beastmasters

Soul Beastmasters
Rank 1 - 8
More ranks will be added and updated when I introduce stronger characters.
And finally, my personal favorite, Newborns
Newborns!
A set of people blessed with special abilities that allow them to do the impossible. Unlike Martial artists and Beastmasters, Newborns don't use Qi or spiritual energy but rather, Mana!
[FYI! they aren't mages]
They don't focus on improving their physical stats but rather, their unique abilities and just like Beastmasters, their overall attributes are lower but their destructive power is much higher.
[This was my original focus and was drawn from JKS manga's My Vampire System]
Starter Rankings
Rank 0
Level 1 to Level 8 [That Is literally their power levels in the early stages. Their overall combat strength at the Level 8 is equal to an Advanced level Martial artist and Beast Tamer.

...
That's enough on the power rankings.
The second change is nothing serious. I will just be moving the opening of the game to a further Date in the story. So simply put, the opening of Reverb won't be at Chapter 8 like before but a little later on so I can work on my character and world building.
Anything else you discover that may be different are just tiny details that won't affect the overall storyline.
This is my first and Last Rewrite of this novel so don't be worried about me rewriting the whole thing 🤔... Well..... Enjoy!
...
In midday, Green will city middle division area.
A male youth was walking on the side pavements as a smile was etched to his face. His black hair fluttered slightly from the setting sun breeze that gave off a very cool and peaceful feeling.
Ethan turned his head from left to right like a foreigner on a sightseeing trip who had come out on vacation. Looking around, he noticed numerous familiar places he never thought he would be able to see again.
The whole place remained unchanged and was exactly like the last time he saw it, the only difference was Ethan himself.
Night Star pavilion at his upcoming left was a very popular place for all men in the city. At the entrance of the rather large building, were all sort of ladies with curvaceous figures in revealing clothes, throwing flirtatious glances at the passing men.
Seeing the hot figures of the ladies, some men couldn't resist and had to gulp down a couple of mouthfuls of saliva while stopping in their tracks for a moment to admire the 'good view'.
Ethan was no exception as he halted while admiring the view of the pretty ladies. On his face, he wore a pair of thick, black glasses which complimented his facial look.
"How long has it been? When was the last time I even had it, back then?" He thought as he could feel his little brother starting to rise, and a struggle started happening within Ethan's pants.
As his mind was a bit preoccupied, one of the females from the pavilion approached him. She walked in front of him and licked her lips slightly as her eyes were practically shining with dollar signs.
She had taken a good look at her target from a distance before coming over and seeing him up close, she couldn't help but be more impressed.
Dark black hair, a body that wasn't too thin or too muscular, fresh looking pink lips as well as a Louis Vuitton latest clothing set. Although she couldn't see his eyes due to the glasses on them, she had already imagined how they would look like, perfectly complimenting the rest of his face.
This handsome young man in front of her was definitely from a rich family. Even if he wasn't as filthy rich as her other clients, he should at least still be from a well-off family and was much better than most of her other clients.
Even those clients she entertained who were richer than him were not better in terms of good looks. So, she had to act fast to make sure this delicious prey wouldn't fall into the hands of her fellow female competitors, as she would like to call them.
"Little brother, are you perhaps a little lonely?" She walked close to him seductively and whispered in his ear while slightly lowering her body, exposing more of her cleavage.
Ethan's breathing became a bit hurried, and his little brother began to make an even more effort filled struggle in an attempt to make its way out of his pants. The sight of that snow-white cleavage was something marvelous to behold.
Seeing his reactions, Charlene, who was seducing him, chuckled inwardly and swayed her hips a little. She was very confident in her charm and clearly, this man was a pervert just like all the others.
As long as the girl was pretty enough, all men would become perverts. If they didn't show it, It's because the said girl wasn't to their liking.
"Maybe this big sister could..... help you with it. You know…. Relieve you a bit?" She said softly and wrapped one arm around his shoulder and the other holding his other hand and placing it under her skirt.
Then she helped him push his hand upward, lifting her already short skirt higher until it was directly over her soft ass. Ethan nearly had a nosebleed as his hands gripped unto her soft, succulent buttocks and realized that she wasn't wearing any panties.
She drew him closer until her massive mounds were directly resting on his chest.
Then she turned around letting her ass rub against his little brother and bent down as if she had dropped something and was trying to pick it up.
This caused Ethan to grip her ass a little tighter, which sent a certain vibe into Charlene's body, completely taking her surprised.
She could feel something running amok within her body touching very sensitive places, and before she knew it.
"Un~mm oh!" She clasped her hand on her mouth only after realizing she had let out a soft moan. This caused her to feel perplexed.
How could she moan just because of a light squeeze? Furthermore, that fact that she had moaned just because of that made her face heat up a little as embarrassment crawled up.
"Oh Camille! You haven't changed a bit, haven't you?" Ethan, who was quiet all along, silently imprinting the feel of her nice rounds buttocks in his hands, finally spoke with a small smirk on his face.
Charlene, who was about to stand upright, froze slightly. It was as if time had stopped as she maintained that pose for a while.
Ethan chuckled slightly as he found it quite funny. He released her from his grasp and started walking forward, directly past her frozen statue.
Now was not the time for any of this. He could bang bitches all day long when the time was right. However, for tonight, other plans must be made.
In a week, the global launch of Reverb was going to commence, and he couldn't afford to miss it even if he wanted to.
The game was too important and would have a massive impact on his life depending on the actions he took. He wouldn't waste this God given second chance for nothing.
Seeing his disappearing figure, Charlene who was shocked motionless finally snapped back into her senses as she yelled.
"You! Come back here! How do you know my name?" She ran after him, directly abandoning her post in front of the Night pavilion.
"If you want answers, don't take any more clients and wait for me to come back in half a month". He laughed inwardly, seeing her completely predictable reaction.
"Won't you get in trouble for leaving your post?" She finally froze and stopped moving. That's right! If she left, she would be in big trouble with the owner of the pavilion, who didn't like any disobedience.
However, she was reluctant to let him leave just like that. She wanted answers.
Ethan didn't turn back at all. He continued to walk forwards, soon after disappearing into the night. Charlene bit her lips and stomped her feet on the ground multiple times.
She could only return to her post and make sure that she wouldn't get in trouble.
Meanwhile, Ethan, who was hiding in an alley deep in the shadows saw her turn around to leave. He sighed deeply as he took off his dark glasses, showing something no one who saw their little spectacle earlier would believe.
His eyes were dull and gray, showing no light in them. Even Charlene herself would never believe that the man who had groped her, and she tried to seduce, was actually blind.
"Let's get back into Reverb and see if I can get my sight back. Maybe, then just possibly, I will come back for you and take you as my woman again, just like last time". He smiled slightly and put his glasses back on and resumed his walk.
"Ok, let's get back home. There is still so much to do". He said with a slightly excited expression, and turned around, making his way back towards the place he called home in his past life.
"But first! Plundering System Activate!"
