The class system among the people also changed. As Awakeners who wielded great powers started to spread their influence everywhere. They took over the power and control of the countries and other Kingdom's.
There was also a division between the Awakeners caused by their class. Being an S class defined the few strongest Awakeners, while the F class hunters were called losers with power no different than a normal human.
At that time, in such a critical moment, Emperor Jiang awakened as an A class hunter and kept his position strong. All the princes also awakened not too long, as A and B class, wielding power and authority as they raided dungeons.
Since others awakened with high stats, naturally, everyone had great expectations for Jiang Meng to awaken as a A or B class healer. Since she had a compassionate mind and love for humanity.
World seemed to come down crashing when Jiang Meng awakened as a F class little trash, while Ling Yu was forced to awaken her powers and became a D class hunter with support skills.
In a panic, everyone was determined to hide and protect Jiang Meng who awakened with a trash class, while they decided to throw Ling Yu out in the frontlines to fight against monsters.
It doesn't matter if she died or came back alive as long as they can claim all the valuable loot and reward she got from raids and steal her credits to give them to the Jiang brothers.
With the skills and experience she gathered from the years she wasted, Ling Yu would've been able to kill all of those trash bastards and wipe up the entire Royal family, but no, Ling Yu didn't do that.
'I don't know why the system helped me though, and I also don't know why the system appeared before the calamity started.'
But…
'I have the skills and power ahead of others, things that people will gain in the future.'
But there is no time, nor any reason to kill a royal family and spend my entire life hiding… I can take care of them when the time is right.
Ding!
[Congratulations, Hunter!]
[Please claim the rewards for clearing the A class dungeon!]
'It's here.'
The last dungeon she cleared in her last life, she wasn't able to claim the rewards before she died.
Despite having high class skills, Ling Yu didn't have any defense skills to support or protect herself. This was one of her biggest weaknesses, and also the reason for her fall down.
'If you really brought me back to the past, then give me some defense skills, you system bastards!'
Ling Yu cussed out loudly in her head, but there was no response. Instead, her eyes fell on the down left corner of the status screen, showing a countdown timer.
[Remaining time : 6 months 13 days 5 hours and 26 minutes]
What is that?
She seemed to have missed it when she looked at the screen a while before?
6 months?
What will happen after that?
Ling Yu couldn't apprehend the countdown that seemed to be a new problematic addition. She thought deeply, her eyes never leaving the timer.
Maybe…
"...!!!"
No way…
"This is…" As if enlightened from the darkness all of a sudden, Ling Yu laughed out, like a crazy, madwoman.
So, that means the gate will appear six months from now on?
Was it some kind of joke?
Unfortunately, the system's warning and hints were too important to be wrong or to take as a joke. Which means only one thing, that the gates will appear soon.
But why so soon?
Ling Yu could clearly remember that the 'Gates' appeared two and half a year later from now on. At that time, she was supposed to be around twenty years old, unless it had something to do with her turning back in time.
Though Ling Yu returned, she didn't get any explanation from the system as to why they helped her. Usually the hunters who die during dungeon raids are buried in the place where they died, because it's a hassle to bring them back.
However, Ling Yu died without a proper burial, did she actually die?
She regressed right after she died, and she was the one in a disadvantage. So why did they help her?
They didn't explain anything, but the regression time now collided with the time the Gates appeared in their world.
If so, then she needs to prepare way quicker before that happens!
Since she got the rewards that were still on hold even in this life. So she can now start to properly use them in full blow!
Ling Yu smiled at the screen popping up as she clicked the [YES] button. There is no time to delay.
[Acquired 'Infinite Subspace' (S)]
[Acquired Golden Thread 1x.]
[Acquired new skill : Flaming Thunder]
…
For now,
Ling Yu looked down at the bag beside her leg, which contained the money she got from Jiang Xun.
Yes, this is the money she asked for in order to leave the family.
Just the right time to use this subspace.
But where would she put the 5 billion yuan?
There is no way she could just leave them outside anywhere, even the bank vaults wouldn't be a safe keep once the disaster starts.
But Ling Yu had one less thing to worry about.
As soon as she bent down a little inside the car, her hands reached out and found the bag holder, mumbling.
"Appraise."
[Skill 'Appraisal' is being used!]
[Authentic stack of Yuan bills.]
[Authentic stack of Yuan bills.]
[Authentic stack of Yuan bills.]
…
There was nothing more needed to be checked, Ling Yu mumbled a word, [Store]. And the bag of money was emptied down in an instant.
"That's some good stack of money, but it's a shame that it's not enough…" Ling Yu shook her head as she let the bag dangle from her finger.
She needed more money to buy and stock the necessities that would become scarce during the first five years of the appearance of the 'Gates'.
