Having wasted too much time on the Advancement talent, Jack Miller had no time left to check his newly learned skills.
However, he could always check the skills after entering the game.
After briefly glancing at his slightly changed attribute panel, Jack Miller prepared himself to enter the game.
His attributes hadn't increased, only his Mana cap had risen from 200 to 600.
His Spell Power had also become 30 points.
Additionally, the Free Attribute Points gained per level had increased directly from 5 to 15 points.
Looking at it this way, the Death Sovereign's attribute bonuses and growth were triple that of a regular Undead Mage!
Without counting equipment attributes, that's nine times that of a normal class!
Such power truly deserves the name of an exclusive hidden class.
"Sarah Hayes, Ryan Thompson."
Thinking of that treacherous couple, a cold glint flashed in the depths of Jack Miller's eyes.
People could actually die in the Multiverse Game!
The starter zone still had protection mechanisms - death only resulted in level loss.
But once you left the starter zone, each death would not only drop your level but also cost 10% of your lifespan, minimum ten years!
In other words, if a player had less than ten years of lifespan remaining, they could never resurrect after death.
Of course, there were items in the Multiverse Game that could increase lifespan, but players had to explore and find these themselves.
The three of them hadn't been far apart before the transfer, and according to the Multiverse Game's information, even if they weren't in the same starter zone, they'd definitely be in the same city after leaving it.
Jack Miller couldn't wait to find the two of them and make them experience how desperate he had felt back then.
As the countdown ended, a flash of white light filled the celestial chamber, and Jack Miller found himself in the starter zone after a brief blur.
[Welcome Earth players to the Multiverse Game.]
[This is Starter Zone #9527 of the Dragon Empire. We wish you all safety in your upcoming journey.]
The system's voice echoed above the starter zone as players kept appearing around Jack Miller in flashes of white light.
"Waaah~ How do you even play this game? Any guys want to teach me?"
"I have early morning classes, why am I being forced into this? Let me go back!"
"Heh, forget about returning to Earth, better think about how to survive here."
"Haha, digitalization! The fantasy from all those novels has finally come true. We're all starting from the same point, this time I'll definitely rise to the top!"
"Same starting point? Bro, you're dreaming - ever heard of high-tier talents?"
"I awakened an S-tier talent right from the start, I'm definitely gonna blow up!"
"Hey boss, need a sidekick?"
"Let me join your party, D-cup Priest here, plenty of heals!"
"B-tier Mage LFG!"

The surroundings were filled with players' discussions.
The Multiverse Game's appearance was too sudden, everyone had been forcibly pulled into this digitalized world.
Some were anxious, some confused, some excited, some despairing...
For those who were already penniless and had no attachments, the Multiverse Game was clearly an opportunity to change their lives.
But regardless, there was no going back to Earth now.
Players began leaving the descent plaza, using their past gaming experience to start talking to NPCs in the starter zone, hoping to accept quests.
However, things weren't as easy as they imagined.
The NPCs in the Multiverse were all real entities, not like the mechanical quest-givers in Earth's old games.
Jack Miller didn't follow the crowd. He stood quietly observing for a moment before turning to walk towards the village outskirts.
Time waited for no one - he only had one year of lifespan left. He needed to level up quickly and find items to increase his lifespan.
Rather than waste time in the starter zone looking for low-level quests, it would be more efficient to go straight out and kill monsters.
It had already been over ten minutes by the time Jack Miller reached the starter zone's exit.
During this time, many players had passed him and already engaged with monsters outside the village.
This was because his Agility attribute was only one point, making his movement speed rather pathetic.
In the Multiverse Game, the same attributes manifested differently for various classes.
Physical classes gaining Agility would increase movement speed, attack speed, critical rate, and other attributes.
For classes like Archers and Rogues, it would also add some Attack Power.
For magic classes, besides increasing movement speed, it would slightly improve casting speed and such.
Worth mentioning, there were no dodge or hit rate attributes here.
The Multiverse Game was a digitalized real world - hitting enemies or dodging attacks relied solely on your own reactions.
Of course, increased Agility would provide some boost to reactions.
Therefore, in Jack Miller's view, Agility was essential for any class.
Fortunately, the Death Sovereign gained enough Free Attribute Points on leveling up. He only needed to reach level one to catch up with normal players.
Along the way, Jack Miller had finished checking all his skills.
[Summon Lesser Skeleton]: (F) Level 1, Active Skill.
Summons a weak skeleton to fight for you.
Cast Time 3 seconds, Cooldown 30 seconds, Mana Cost 20 points.
(Lesser Skeleton's stats are affected by player's Spirit attribute.)
[Sear]: (F) Level 1, Active Skill.
Release soul fire to burn the target, dealing 150% Spell Power as magic damage over five seconds.
Range 30 meters, Cast Time 2 seconds, Cooldown 5 seconds, Mana Cost 10 points.
These were the Undead Mage's basic skills, all lowest F-tier skills.
The Lesser Skeleton summoned by an Undead Mage would exist forever unless killed.
When not needed, it could be recalled to the Summon Space at any time.
Level one Summon Space only had one slot, meaning an Undead Mage could only summon one Lesser Skeleton at a time.
But Jack Miller wasn't just any Undead Mage - he was the exclusive hidden class Death Sovereign!
[Life Link]: (A) Level 1 0/2, Active Skill.
You can link with one of your summoned undead creatures, sharing Health with it.
Instant cast, Cooldown 10 seconds.
This skill meant Jack Miller no longer had to worry about his Health cap.
As long as his summoned undead creature remained, he wouldn't fear sudden death.
[Summon Enhancement]: (S) Passive Skill, No level.
Summon skill cast times reduced by 50%, cooldowns reduced by 50%, summoned creature stats increased by 50%, Summon Space cap increased by 500%.
The second skill was even S-tier, a noble percentage increase skill.
Such skills became increasingly powerful in the late game.
Besides these, Jack Miller had also received an exclusive item.
[Book of Death]
Class Exclusive (Nightwhite)
Off-hand Item
Cannot be dropped, Cannot be damaged, Cannot be traded
Level: 0 (Follows character)
Attributes: Unlocked at level 1
Special Effects: Unlocked at level 10
(This is a book of laws that only you can read. Once requirements are met, you can learn Death Sovereign exclusive skills from it.)
The Book of Death currently had no attributes, but from its description, this equipment was clearly extraordinary.
However, Jack Miller's level was too low to even open it now.
When his gaze fell on the catastrophic properties after his class advancement, Jack Miller couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath, his pupils dilating.
Worthy of a unique forbidden-tier talent, truly terrifying!
