Yang Shung blinked, staring at the glowing words in front of him.
[Eye of Judgment, Authority of Judgment, what's the use?]
Yang Shung felt a bit confused.
He closed his eyes.
In the dark, it felt like an eye—an eternal one—was watching him!
Then, a line of words appeared before him, glowing and flying towards his eyes.
—
[Eye of Judgment (activated)]
[Unique attribute: Authority of Judgment!]
[Authority of Judgment: The most real and ancient original authority in the universe. This authority overrides rules and order (You currently do not have 'divinity' and cannot activate the authority, but the passive effect is active.)]
[Passive authority: When entering the God Forsaken Game, you will automatically obtain the highest level of talent.]
—
"Original authority…" Yang Shung muttered, his voice filled with shock. "It overrides rules and order?"
Rules, order—these were the most powerful forces people could gain from the God Forsaken Game.
In his previous life, a powerful player had escaped from the 'Land Forsaken by the Gods' and reached the 'Land of Order,' where he gained the 'Power of Order.'
For nine years, no one in the world of Blue Star had acquired the power of order.
But now, Yang Shung had gained the 'Original Authority,' something superior to order and rules!
"Although I don't have divinity yet and can't activate the authority…"
"But the passive effect means I'll automatically get the highest-level talent when I enter the game…"
"This is invincible!"
His heartbeat quickened.
In his past life, his talent was Emerald-level.
Emerald-level was the seventh rank.
And in the God Forsaken Game, there were a total of thirteen talent levels!
"Inferior, ordinary, bronze, silver."
"Gold, platinum, jade, diamond."
"Epic, legendary, mythical, ancient, immortal."
"If I get Immortal-level talent, that would be insane."
Emerald-level talent had already placed him among the top 100 strongest in the world.
Immortal-level? He couldn't even imagine it...
He reached for his phone.
"The time is... 8 AM."
"The God Forsaken Game has quietly arrived."
"In my past life, I was scolded by my boss for being late. I didn't even find out about the game until noon. After a long argument with my sister, it was already evening when we entered the game."
"That wasted a whole day of progress!"
Now, with his rebirth, Yang Shung had no time to waste.
He wasn't going to do anything unnecessary!
"From 8 AM, any adult who falls asleep will enter the 'Land Forsaken by the Gods' and join the God Forsaken Game!"
"At the same time, our physical bodies become virtual…"
"Although the virtual body is visible, it cannot be touched. It doesn't really exist in the real world."
"That means, after our consciousness enters the game, our bodies are in a state of invulnerability, 'unselectable,' in a different dimension!"
Because of this, the God Forsaken Game spread fast.
In just half a day, it was all over the world…
"I didn't expect to be reborn right when the God Forsaken Game arrived."
"Good thing I suffer from insomnia. I have some prescription drugs to help me sleep."
Yang Shung decided to enter the game.
On one hand, he was curious about his high-level talent.
On the other hand, he knew he had to enter quickly to grab the opportunity!
The first time you enter the game, you have to be asleep—this was an iron rule.
So, Yang Shung didn't waste time.
He took the pills, lay down, and prepared to sleep!
---
At the same time, Jianghai Normal University.
Fallen leaves covered the campus as groups of students rushed to class.
A girl in a white long skirt, with long hair flowing behind her, hurried alongside her best friend to the classroom.
Her short-haired bestie asked curiously, "Xiaoyou, aren't you going to apologize to your brother? We skipped the exam yesterday and secretly went to Song Fei's concert. Your brother must be really mad at you..."
The girl with long hair was Yang Xiaoyou.
She laughed, "Apologize? He's not even my real brother. Why can't I go to Brother Song Fei's concert? He's too controlling, don't you think?"
The short-haired friend sighed, "But he's so good to you. Besides being strict, he buys you everything you want... I really envy you for having such a brother~"
Yang Xiaoyou shrugged indifferently. "I inherited most of my parents' fortune. Even without him, I can still live just fine. Who cares..."
They soon entered the classroom, ready to start the lesson.
Little did she know, Yang Shung was no longer the brother she could rely on...
And the disaster was already silently spreading across the world!
Videos were being shared, showing that when people fall asleep, their bodies turn ethereal, looking strange and unreal.
But no one knew what was really happening to those sleeping people...
It would take a couple of hours for the news of the 'God Forsaken Game' to fully spread.
---
Yang Shung had already fallen asleep.
As soon as he did, his consciousness was pulled across a distant world and into a dark space.
"It's this familiar scene again…"
Yang Shung found himself surrounded by darkness, with no light to guide him.
Suddenly, a flicker of grayish-white light appeared, forming into the Daxia characters he recognized:
—
[Welcome to the 'God Forsaken Game!']
[You will go to: the land abandoned by the gods…]
[Please choose your profession!]
[After you choose your profession, you will randomly get a talent that matches your profession. Good luck!]
—
The grayish-white text vanished, and a spinning wheel appeared in front of him.
It showed various professions: warriors, mages, priests, shooters, assassins, and more!
Normally, one would pick from these basic professions.
But there was also an option for 'random profession.'
Choosing random gave a small chance of getting a hidden profession.
"In my last life, I chose warrior to protect Xiaoyou."
"Warriors are strong but slow, not ideal for solo play…"
Warriors had good survival but weak monster-killing power.
"Anyway, I have top-tier talent now. Any profession will work."
"Why not try random? Maybe I'll get a hidden profession."
Yang Shung didn't hesitate. He selected—random profession!
