<"Infinity" Server Launch for Ten thousand Years: What Kind of Universal MMORPG Is This?>
...
In the classroom, scrolling through various news about the MMORPG "Infinity," Eric's thoughts gradually became clearer.
He had traveled through time, arriving in this grand era known as the "MMORPG Epoch."
However, he had physically traveled back, regressing to infancy, and due to insufficient brain capacity, temporarily lost his memories of his previous life. It was more like a second chance at life, a second childhood. He vaguely remembered filling out some kind of time traveler application form, but the details were hazy...
Ten thousand years ago, the mysterious MMORPG "Infinity" descended upon Eearth, allowing all its inhabitants to enter and explore the vast, endless world of "Infinity."
In the world of Infinity, even a disabled person, with enough effort, could not only regain their limbs but also attain infinite lifespan and extraordinary powers.
Driven by such power, the people of Eearth developed frenetically, constructing three colossal entities over ten thousand years.
First: The official forces formed by various nations, known as the "Eearth Federation."
Second: The formidable groups that rapidly rose to power by capitalizing on the server's initial benefits, known as the Eternal Families.
Third: The ordinary system led by countless average players.
Compared to the "Eearth Federation" formed by various nations, it was evident from the nuances in various news reports that the Eternal Families were the most powerful force in the MMORPG Epoch, even surpassing the "Eearth Federation."
"Infinity? Does it mean boundless and endless?"
"So, this is the MMORPG I'm about to log into?"
As for MMORPGs, was quite the veteran. Although he had been a workhorse in his previous life, everyone has their hobbies.
Thud thud!
Footsteps echoed from outside the classroom, and soon, a handsome young man walked in.
He wore a sleek, green long-sleeved shirt and pants, standing straight on the podium. His sharp, eagle-like eyes scanned the room before he spoke slowly.
"Children, congratulations on successfully enduring 18 years of toil, studying hard until your 18th birthday."
"This age is considered the time to stand on your own in Xia Country, and in Infinity, it means you can officially log in."
"Enough chatter, I'll reiterate three things."
The young man spoke with a firm, resonant voice, extending three fingers and retracting them one by one as he continued.
"First, protect your initial three death chances. Once they're used up, you'll either remain in Infinity forever, becoming a skeleton under someone else's feet, or you'll have to obtain extremely rare revival coins."
"Second, in Infinity, don't fully trust anyone until you have enough strength. Although you've learned a lot of basic theoretical knowledge over the years, it's all just theory. Practical application is far more challenging."
"Third, Eearth is a beginner's zone. Killing in any form is prohibited, and powers cannot be brought back to Eearth, but lifespan can! So, all of you, strive to survive! Understood?"
With the young man's loud shout, the entire class erupted.
"Teacher, we will!"
"Good, I believe in you! I look forward to your return in seven days."
The young man nodded with satisfaction and continued.
"Now, everyone, calm your minds. Follow the method taught in the textbooks, visualize the words 'Infinity,' and log into the world of Infinity."
"Finally, I wish you all the best of luck in obtaining excellent talents and having a perfect start."
Eric took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement. He followed the young man's instructions, calming his mind and using the method recorded in the textbook to visualize the words "Infinity" in his mind.
In the next second, a faint light emerged from the void, shooting into the depths of Eric's brow. Lines of text then appeared.
[You are connecting to "Infinity"]
[Detecting your regional population]
[Eearth - Human - Xia Country Citizen - ID 000099999, welcome]
[Detecting your physical attributes, randomizing your initial talent]

With a "swish," a panel visible only to Eric appeared before his eyes.

Seeing his talent, even though Eric had mostly integrated the memories of this life, he still experienced a moment of confusion and doubt.
In the MMORPG Epoch, which had developed over ten thousand years, talents were divided into six levels: C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. He had never heard of a "Unique" level.
"So, is this a perk for being a time traveler?" Thinking this,Eric couldn't help but gasp. If the talent truly matched the description, it was undoubtedly an unparalleled super talent. With it, he might not achieve immortality, but at least he could live a decent life.
However, was the movement speed a bit too low? 1.2m/s, on Eearth, that would be a laughable speed. But recalling the textbook's explanation, in the world of Infinity, level 50 was equivalent to an adult in reality, and level 1 was akin to an infant in that world. An infant's speed being a constant 1.2m/s wasn't just reasonable, it was almost excessive. Of course, there was another version, a rumor that the Eternal Families had, long ago, gradually reduced the initial attack and movement speeds of new players. Originally, both should have been 10.0.
At that moment, the light spot between his brows grew brighter, soon enveloping his entire body. A massive void then appeared above his head, pulling him completely into the world of "Infinity."
Not just him, but the entire class, and indeed all 18-year-old students worldwide, vanished at that same moment.
The young teacher placed his hands on the desk, staring blankly at the vanished students.
After teaching them for three years, how many would return alive after their first login?
This was no longer the early days of "Infinity." After ten thousand years of development, many things were no longer changeable by the new generation.
Even in the vast world of Infinity, class stratification had begun.
Resources, beauty, power—all had been divided over ten thousand years. If one couldn't swallow their pride and serve others, it was truly difficult to achieve anything. Reflecting on his own experiences, the young teacher let out a long sigh.
"damn~"
"When will the first chapter, 'The Ancient Era,' finally end?"
"It's been ten thousand years~"
"Do we, and these new players, still have a future?"
