SHADOWS_SCYTHE

In a world where reality and virtual games collide, humanity faces its greatest trial. A mysterious game-like system, known as World of Chaos, descends upon Earth, awakening talents within individuals. These talents dictate survival — from basic skills to mythical powers.

Qin Sheng, once humanity’s strongest warrior, met a tragic end — betrayed by his own sister and killed in cold blood. But fate had other plans. Moments after his death, Qin Sheng awakens ten years in the past, just one hour before the catastrophic World of Chaos system descends upon Earth.

Armed with memories of the future and the rare and unparalleled SSS-Rank Talent: Extraction, Qin Sheng is determined to rewrite his destiny. With the power to extract skills, talents, and attributes from fallen enemies, he gains an unmatched advantage. But that’s not all — his talent allows him to enslave elite and boss monsters by forging contracts, turning these once-feared beings into loyal minions.

As chaos erupts and cities crumble, Qin Sheng embarks on a perilous journey, bridging the gap between game mechanics and real-life survival. Facing monstrous beasts, rogue players, and hidden conspiracies, he rises not only as humanity’s beacon of hope but also its greatest threat.

Will Qin Sheng master his growing power and change the course of history, or will he fall victim to betrayal once more?

After logging in the next day, Qin Sheng found Lia waiting near his stall. Her new bow gleamed, and her expression was filled with determination.

Qin Sheng nodded, gesturing toward the forest. "We'll start by farming some mid-tier monsters. Should help you level up fast."

They ventured deep into the forest, with Qin Sheng leading the way. Lia struggled initially but adapted quickly with Qin Sheng's guidance. Her arrows flew straighter, landing critical hits on weaker monsters.

Suddenly, a System Announcement echoed:

[System Notification: A Limited-Time Event has begun! Hidden Treasure Chests have spawned across Novice Zones. Find them before time runs out!]

Lia gasped, "We should find one! The rewards could be amazing."

Qin Sheng hesitated but then agreed. "Fine, but stay close."

Together, they scoured the area. After a tense search, they found a shimmering chest guarded by a group of aggressive monsters. With Lia covering him from afar, Qin Sheng fought through the horde.

[Treasure Chest Unlocked: Reward – 100 Gold, Rare Weapon Shard, and Minor Experience Boost Token]

They split the rewards, Lia taking the Experience Boost while Qin Sheng pocketed the Weapon Shard.

As they rested under a large tree, Lia looked over at him. "Thanks for today. I've learned a lot."

Qin Sheng gave a rare smile. "You're improving fast. You'll survive this chaos yet."

Lia blushed slightly before logging out, leaving Qin Sheng alone with his thoughts. Looking at his minions, Gorath and Velnar, he felt the weight of responsibility but also the thrill of power.

Tomorrow would bring even greater challenges.
