Chapter 19: Game Descend: Utopia

The rest, he acknowledged, depended on luck. If he gained a good talent in the game world, his level and equipment farming would increase, but if not, he would have to put in more effort.

Satisfied with his analysis, Rahul clicked on "Taunt" on the panel.

[You have selected Taunt [Mid] talent]

[Simulation game world—Game Descend: Utopia started]

Without even understanding what had happened, Rahul fell into the blank space.

"What just happened? I felt something..." His eyelid grew heavy and with a thud* unconsciously fall on the ground, but the system prompts continued to appear before him.

[Ding...]

[You woke up to find yourself in a simple room, looking confused. Your eyes soon fell upon the mirror, and you were shocked by the reflection staring back at you—your appearance was unchanged. Undoubtedly, you realized you had been transported to a simulation world.]

[Panic briefly gripped you. "Why am I here? Is this merely my consciousness? Or my physical body?" You muttered, "Neo?" but received no reply from the system. Negative thoughts began to flood your mind.]

[An idea dawned on you, and you peeked under your pants, confirming that your size remained the same. At that moment, you knew that you've messed up but then you noticed your clothes in the mirror, different from when you entered this simulated game world.]

[This realization suggested that your simulation system differed from others and that you hadn't been physically transported. It was more akin to a double existence, where only your consciousness had entered. You convinced yourself that everything was as it should be and calmed your mind.]

[Your lips were dry, and your mouth was parched, so you drank a glass of water. You understood that this was a real test, where your life might be at stake. Therefore, you resolved to proceed cautiously, as you knew nothing about this world beyond its genre, relying solely on your integrated memories.]

[From those memories, you learned that you were 18 years old, an orphan, but fortunate enough to inherit money and this house. You had also saved enough money. Furthermore, you discovered that you had been considered a top student during your school and intermediate years but squandered your first and second years of university playing games.]

[Most disappointingly, despite wasting two years, you hadn't achieved anything, not even in games, leading to a decline in your status within society.]

[A year ago, the government announced the launch of a virtual game. Nine months later, the virtual helmet and capsule also hit the market. You started saving money, and today is the launch date of the virtual game: "Game Descend: Utopia."]

[Fortunately, there's still an hour left, and you have enough money for the virtual helmet. Without a second thought, you ordered the virtual helmet from the official website, which cost you one hundred thousand coins. Now, you're almost broke, but that doesn't bother you.]

[After completing some basic tasks, the virtual helmet arrives at your house. You stare intently at the helmet, realizing that this virtual game isn't just any normal game. If it were, the system wouldn't simulate this virtual game world.]

[However, you're glad you chose the virtual game world, especially since the death ratio is very low, which calms you down. You turn on the television to watch the news, where you learn some basic information about the virtual game.]

[This virtual game is the result of a joint effort by various countries, which may seem ridiculous to someone thinking rationally. This news confirms your suspicion that this virtual game is the key to uncovering the truth. You also realize that you have a better chance than other players if you have knowledge.]

[As the time for the game's launch approaches, you lay on the bed, thinking it's good that there's no one to disturb you. You then put the virtual helmet on your head, and the timer starts running.]

[3... 2... 1...]

[Game loading...]

[Identification complete]

[Welcome to the game "Game Descend: Utopia."]

[You find yourself in the game, where an angel stands before you and an interface appeared. With your knowledge of the game, you fill out the application and use 'FallenAngel' as your name, recalling some information about the game world.]

[Soon, it's time for talent extraction, which takes the form of a roulette wheel. You click, and the wheel begins to spin. As it slows down, your heartbeat quickens, and you even close your eyes.]

[Finally, the roulette wheel stops. You hear an announcement: "You have obtained the Talent: War Survivor [A]."]

War Survivor [A]: When your HP drops below 30%, your 4-dimensional stats increase by 40%. If your HP drops below 5%, it will heal by 5% continuously till 30%.

[You understand that you've acquired a powerful talent, one that could help you achieve many things in the game if used wisely. You silently hope that no one gets a cheating talent, as it could disrupt the game's balance.]

[Another interface appears before you.]

[Select one of the classes:]

1. Swordsman

2. Assassin

3. Archer

4. Shield

5. Mage

6. Priest

[Seeing the interface, you decide to choose the 'Swordsman' class because it fits well with your talent.]

[Upon making your selection, you find yourself in a starting area where other players have already arrived, but you ignore everyone and mutter, "Panel." Instantly, a panel appears before your eyes.]

[Upon seeing the panel, you realize that you might be the reason for the high attributes. You also understand that you have the capability to become a magic swordsman. Due to the maximum attributes of spirit and intelligence, your magic damage is also at its peak.]

[Despite believing that your magic damage would be the highest in the entire game, you don't indulge in happiness. Instead, you decide to distribute your attributes, adding 3 to Physique and 2 to Strength, thus maxing out all attributes.]
