Online Game: Start as a Godslayer, Get Stronger by Killing Monsters

The darkness receded, and light once again flooded into our vision.

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes, and heard a cacophony of voices around him.

Before me lies a small town brimming with medieval charm.

The stone-paved street stretches into the distance.

Wooden taverns, blacksmith shops, and general stores are scattered throughout the area.

The air was filled with the aroma of beer mixed with earth.

Sunlight streamed down, and a gentle breeze blew.

You can even feel the temperature changes transmitted through your skin.

On the street, countless players were looking around in shock.

"Holy crap! This is so realistic!"

A young man pinched himself hard, wincing in pain, and even displayed injury statistics.

【-twenty four】

"Damn it! Even hitting yourself takes damage, and I only have 20 HP left. What about you guys?"

Someone nearby immediately chimed in, "Me too! Level 1 should have a maximum of 20 HP. If it weren't for this UI, I'd feel like I wasn't playing a game, but actually transported to another world!"

"The feel, the air, the lighting—this doesn't feel like a game at all!"

The entire starting village was in an uproar.

Everyone was amazed, but Lin Ye remained remarkably calm.

He knew it better than anyone else.

This is not a game, but another real world.

Just then, a blood-red interface that only he could see slowly appeared.

[Talent: Plunder of All Things]

[Weapon: Beginner Wooden Sword: 5-6 Attack Power]

The moment the job title appeared, the entire panel seemed to be stained with blood.

The scarlet veins flowed slowly, making it far more imposing than ordinary UI panels.

Immediately afterwards, a skill information popped up.

【Mark of Godslaying】:

Looking at this exaggerated skill description.

Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a profession modified using fragments of divine origin.

It possesses god-like foundation from the very beginning.

However, now is not the time to test skills.

His time is precious.

Lin Ye quickly left the square and headed towards the far corner of the village.

There squatted an old beggar in tattered clothes, who seemed to have no presence at all.

However, in his previous life, it wasn't until three months later that a player accidentally triggered his hidden quest and ultimately received a legendary equipment reward.

One piece of equipment sold for 50 million yuan, and even made the news. At that time, even Lin Ye, who did not play games, knew about it.

Now, Lin Ye went straight to the beggar and said:

"Old man, did your son die in the Crimson Flame Mine?"

The old beggar's body jolted suddenly, his cloudy eyes fixed on Lin Ye.

How did you know?

Lin Ye didn't answer, but continued, "And you've been searching for your son's keepsake, that flame badge, am I right?"

The old beggar became completely agitated: "Young man! I don't care who you are or how you know all this. If you can help me find it, I'm willing to pay any price!"

Hidden Quest: The Lost Flame Emblem

【Whether to accept? 】

Lin Ye confirmed it directly.

The next second, the mission route automatically appeared.

The hidden quest was discovered three months later, thanks to the efforts of countless players.

Lin Ye got it in a minute.

But that's not all. After accepting the mission, Lin Ye didn't stop for a moment and quickly went to an abandoned forest outside the village.

Find a rusty key precisely among countless fallen leaves.

He continued along the route and eventually stopped in front of a mountain wall.

To the average player, this is just a stone wall.

But based on the news report from his previous life, he knew that the stone wall was actually a hidden entrance.

Lin Ye inserted the key into the gap.

Boom—!

The mountain wall slowly cracked open.

A wave of scorching heat hit us.

[Hidden Area: Crimson Flame Mine.]

A notification pops up at the top.

Lin Ye did not hesitate and stepped inside.

next second.

A terrifying heatwave swept over my entire body, and the air felt like it was on fire.

The rocks underfoot were reddish-brown, and lava flowed all around, making the entire cave resemble the interior of a volcano.

You are affected by the burning sensation.

[Health Points -1]

[Health Points -1]

[Health Points -1]

Bright red numbers kept popping up.

Even if you stand still, you are constantly losing health.

Keep in mind that ordinary players start with only 20 HP. If they stand here, they will be burned to death in less than half a minute.

And this is only the periphery.

Deeper inside, the faint growls of monsters could be heard.

Lin Ye looked ahead, his eyes slightly cold.

past life.

His greatest weakness was his resistance to fire, which ultimately nearly cost him his life.

I never imagined that I would have to start all over again from here.

This time, however, he will not leave any flaws.

And at that very moment.

A monster slowly crawled out from beside the lava.

It was a monster that was nearly two meters tall.

Its body was as black as charcoal, with molten lava flowing from its cracks.

It has curved, sharp horns on its head, and it spews out sparks with every breath.

Fire resistance

狂暴

When health drops below 30%, enters a berserk state, increasing attack speed by 40% and attack power by 30%.

With its exaggerated stats and terrifying appearance, it seems like an invincible force to newcomers to the game.

But Lin Ye had lived two lives. In his previous life, when he was at his wit's end, he was still unafraid in the face of the gods. How could he be intimidated by this little elite monster now?

"roar--!"

The lava demon roared and lunged forward, swinging its giant claws at an astonishing speed.

Lin Ye dodged to the side, and swung his wooden sword in the process.

*Thud!* It struck precisely in the neck.

The damage numbers popped up—it was a critical hit!

-89!

The lava demon roared in pain and charged again.

"Sword Shatters the Universe!"

But as soon as Lin Ye finished speaking, a sword aura flew out, blocking the Lava Demon's attack.

-209!

The damage was considerable, which further enraged the Lava Demon, causing it to unleash an unprecedentedly fierce offensive.

If any players were here, they would be so shocked they wouldn't be able to speak.

Because Lin Ye's movements were too fluid.

Each dodge perfectly avoided the attack range, making it incredibly easy and effortless.

Every strike of the sword precisely hits the weak point.

But this is not a skill; it is a fighting instinct accumulated over a century of fighting.

A few minutes later, Lin Ye gracefully retreated to dodge his opponent's desperate attack, and whispered, "Sword Shatters the Universe."

As the sword energy flew out, the lava demon crashed to the ground, causing an explosion on the spot, but only a few scattered sparks landed three inches in front of Lin Ye's feet.

[Slay the Lava Demon]

[Experience Points +500, God-Slaying Mark +1]

[Upgrade to level 3 and gain 20 free attribute points]

The next second, a blood-red notification appeared.

[Plunder of All Things Initiated]

[Dropped Equipment: (Silver Amulet) Lava Bracers*1, (Bronze Boots) Burnt Boots*1, (Bronze Bracers) Molten Core Amulet*1]

[Dropped Material: Lava Core *1]

[Attribute Plunder: Strength +35, Agility +18, Constitution +40, Spirit +12]

[Affixes: Fire Resistance, Strength, Frenzy]

"Heh..." Even Lin Ye couldn't help but chuckle when he saw such a harvest.

As the entry was successfully stolen, the burning pain significantly lessened.

The rate at which health decreases also begins to slow down, with a health depletion notification popping up only every half minute.

Just as Lin Ye was putting on his equipment and sorting out his loot, another ungrateful lava demon roared and charged at him.

"roar--!"

The enormous, terrifying monster approached at a terrifying speed, determined to smash its target to pieces.

But Lin Ye remained unhurried, glancing at the panel at the last moment before engaging the enemy.

The blood-red panel was put away.

Lin Ye smiled faintly, a hint of a deadly smile on his lips, and nimbly dodged the charge, as if it were a leisurely stroll.

then.......

"Sword Shatters the Universe!"
