Time flies, and before long, it was afternoon.In the western square of the city, which spans over a thousand square meters, more than two hundred students from Yun City High School, who had reached the age requirement, had gathered, awaiting the opening of the newbie dungeon.The newbie dungeon was located at the center of the square. It was a pitch-black and deep vortex, suspended about ten centimeters above the ground. It resembled the mythical portal, exuding a mysterious aura.On one side of the vortex, there were eight golden human statues. They were life-size and made of pure gold. The sculptures were finely crafted, looking lifelike.The square was crowded with people, mostly professionals. As they passed by, they all bowed respectfully to the statues, their eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.The leading teacher also brought Su Mu and the others to the statues, had them pay respects, and explained the origin of the statues.It was then that Su Mu learned that the eight statues represented the top-level players who had reached the 100th level, also known as the highest gods of the game a hundred years ago.A century ago, after the game fused with reality, these eight individuals led humanity in resisting the invasion of game monsters. In the end, they sacrificed their lives during the beast tide to protect Blue Star and eliminate the human extinction crisis.They had died for the country, sacrificed themselves for humanity—they were heroes, worthy of eternal remembrance. That was why these statues were built to honor them and allow people to pay homage.At the base of each statue was the name and title of the respective hero. Su Mu looked at them one by one.Wandering Sage Luo Xue, Totem Warrior Liu Tianman, Elven Archer Feng Ling'er... Goodness, they were all familiar faces!Looking at the statues before him, Su Mu couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Almost all of these individuals were people he knew from the game.Over his ten years in the game, he had often interacted with them. Even Wandering Sage Luo Xue was his guild's vice-president.Before he had transmigrated, he had been teaming up with her to take on the Time Dragon boss. At that time, she was still only level 96, and she had been a fan of Su Mu.Who would have thought, in just half a day, their roles would be reversed.Su Mu had become an 18-year-old high school student in the new era, while they had already passed away a century ago and become heroes who had safeguarded humanity.Su Mu's gaze lingered over the faces of the eight statues, his heart filled with mixed emotions."Alright, students, come over here and line up for the newbie dungeon. This is a multiplayer dungeon, and you all know the basics. I believe everyone is ready, so I won't repeat myself.Just a reminder, if you are lucky enough to be randomly grouped together inside, you can help each other. Working together may lead to higher scores. I wish you all good luck."The teacher clapped his hands and called Su Mu and the others forward. Everyone obediently lined up to enter the dungeon, their faces not showing any signs of nervousness.In the new era, children were trained in martial arts from a young age. The high school students were no slouches when it came to combat, so they weren't afraid of the trial.Moreover, the newbie dungeon had been around for years. Most people had an idea of what to expect and knew what to do, the only question was whether they could perform well.Su Mu calmed himself and followed the others. Soon, it was his turn. He took a deep breath, stepped into the vortex, and his figure immediately disappeared.[Detected unawakened player entering the dungeon, data scan in progress, attribute panel being generated...]The familiar system prompt rang out as Su Mu found himself in a dim, dark space.A halo of light appeared before him, forming the figure of an 18-year-old high school student. It was exactly his current appearance.It was the first time Su Mu had the chance to clearly observe his new self after his transmigration. His appearance wasn't bad.He stood at 1.8 meters tall, had neatly trimmed short hair, and wore a white school T-shirt with the Yun City High School emblem on the left chest. He paired it with blue jeans and sneakers.His face was fair, his nose straight, and his eyebrows were quite refined. He gave off a slight scholarly vibe. If he were born in ancient times, he would likely have been a handsome scholar.In short, he looked very good—just as handsome as he had been in his past life. The moment he saw his handsome face, Su Mu immediately connected with his new identity, and any lingering discomfort vanished.A scanning-like light shimmered over his figure, continuing for about a minute. Then, text appeared beside him, one line after another.However, before the text could even fully display, the system prompt sounded again.[Ding! Abnormal data detected, player identity has been registered, judging... Data syncing in progress...][Sync complete!]Player: Su MuLevel: 1Class: Abyss Summoner (S-level)Talent Skill: Abyss Summon (Communicate with the abyssal space to summon abyssal creatures for battle. The strength of summoned creatures depends on the player's power. The stronger the player, the stronger the summoned creatures.)Current Summon Limit: 10Class Equipment: Undead StaffStrength: 10Agility: 12Constitution: 10Spirit: 30(An average adult's attributes are typically 10 for each stat)As the system prompt rang out, the text beside Su Mu shifted and changed, eventually displaying his attribute panel.Unlike the other players' initial panels, Su Mu already had a class—and it was even the S-level Abyss Summoner from his past life.This meant that Su Mu had gained an S-level class without even undergoing the assessment, something that other players could only dream of.Even if he exited the dungeon right now, he would already be the biggest winner of the day's trial.Su Mu couldn't help but feel elated. He had thought that with his transmigration, all his past achievements would vanish, but to his surprise, his Abyss Summoner class had followed him here.Although his level had been reset to 1, and his skills and equipment had returned to their starting state, he didn't care. He had already come this far—what more could he ask for?Moreover, summoner classes were some of the fastest-growing classes and required the least in terms of equipment and skills.With the ability to summon minions at will, clear the map, and push dungeons—this was the summoner's ultimate style.Su Mu used to do this all the time in his past life, and now, it seemed like he was about to experience it all over again.He clenched his fists. With such a powerful S-level class, his future was bound to be bright. Even if he had to walk the same path as in his past life, step by step, he would still reach the peak.Besides, with ten years of experience, how could he repeat the mistakes of his past?Ten years was too long. This time, Su Mu was confident that in just three years, he would return to the pinnacle of level 99. This was the confidence that came with being the number one player in Wan Zu.[System prompt: Detected that player Su Mu already has a class, which does not meet the requirements for entering the newbie dungeon. The following choices are now available.]1. Exit the dungeon voluntarily, keeping the current class.2. Enter the dungeon, accept the completion task, and upon successful completion, the S-level Abyss Summoner will be upgraded to SSS-level and receive special rewards.Please make your choice, player Su Mu.What?! SSS-level!!!Su Mu widened his eyes and let out an exclamation of surprise. He never expected the system to offer such a choice.SSS-level class! He had never seen one in his ten years of playing Wan Zu!An S-level class was already rare, and Su Mu had dominated the game for so many years with his S-level Abyss Summoner.Now, the opportunity to upgrade to SSS-level was right before him—how could he hesitate?It was just a matter of completing the newbie dungeon. He was in!Su Mu made his decision immediately. "I choose option 2. I accept the completion task."
