Chapter 1: Frustrating Talent

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Year 2100.

Planet Aquamarine, New North City’s No. 4 High School.

On the leveled school field.

The students from each class lined up in an orderly manner and walked towards the huge round house in front of them.

“Jack, the Talent Awakening is about to begin. How exciting!”

A young man who didn’t look very big chatted nonstop.

From how he was constantly twisting his limbs and his words, one could tell that he was very nervous.

In particular, he was originally a chatterbox. At the moment, he chatted incessantly.

“60 years ago, when the Divine Realm game descended, humans were able to awaken their talents in the game!”

“50 years ago, the Divine Realm game mutated and fused with reality. The abilities in the game could be reflected in reality.”

“Two years later, a huge change occurred above the sky. The outer realms tried to invade Planet Aquamarine by creating wormholes, but they were defeated by the combined forces of the Human Race and the Heavenly Realm!”

“45 years ago, in order to defend against the invaders from the outer realms, the Heavenly Realm Federation ordered the establishment of a Guardian University. Through the college entrance examination, they recruited talented and powerful students and groomed them to become Guardians, so as to provide fresh blood for the front line.”

“Save it. It’s not like we’re preparing for a history exam right now. It’s almost our turn.”

Jack rubbed his forehead as he interrupted his friend Mike’s nagging.

He was really afraid of Mike’s incessant chatter.

He could understand Mike’s nervousness.

In this era, most young people would be nervous, afraid, expectant, and excited before awakening their talents.

They looked forward to obtaining a powerful talent, but were also worried that their talent would be too useless.

Compared to them, Jack appeared especially calm.

He was a transmigrator from Earth.

His experience as an adult in his previous life prevented him from showing his emotions.

Jack was very glad to discover that his good looks had not changed because of his transmigration.

He followed the line to the end.

“Year Three (3) Class, Jack!”

Hearing the teacher’s call, Jack hurried up to the front.

After the teacher verified his identity, he was given a helmet which gave off a sci-fi aura.

Jack read about this equipment in the textbook.

It was used for talent awakening.

If one entered the Divine Realm without this helmet, they would forever lose the right to awaken their talent.

Any normal person would not enter the Divine Realm without awakening their talent.

Because that would be too much of a loss. If one didn’t awaken their innate talent, they would have to struggle at the bottom of the human race.

After all, this era was not like 60 years ago. Playing games was the only way to gain power.

Jack took the helmet from the teacher and slowly put it on.

The teacher reminded him.

“You might feel a little dizzy and nauseous entering the Divine Realm for the first time.”

Right after the teacher spoke,

Jack suddenly felt his vision go black as a sense of weightlessness swept through his body. It was as if he was doing a high altitude bungee jump.

Time passed.

The sense of weightlessness gradually disappeared. Jack opened his eyes, only to see an illusory transparent space in front of him.

There were many mysterious symbols floating in space.

This place was also called the Starting Ground and Creation Space, and there were numerous names in the textbooks.

But that was not important!

Jack looked around. Sure enough, an ethereal voice sounded.

“Welcome, adventurer.”

“Begin to draw talent!”

The voice was emotionless and mechanical.

“Drawing Grade B Talent [Growth]: Every time you level up, 5 attribute points will be converted to 6 Physical attribute points equally divided.”

“Grade B Talent? Growth?”

Jack was disappointed.

He originally thought that he would be able to obtain a talent that could increase Strength or Attack.

At the very least, he would be able to protect himself in this world.

However, the information he received after his talent awakened made him somewhat disoriented.

Growth?

Every time he leveled up, 5 attribute points would be converted to 6 Physical attribute points equally divided?

What was this?

Jack had learned in school that every time he leveled up in the game, he would get 5 attribute points and 1 skill point.

Players could freely add attribute points to their five-dimensional attributes.

However, his talent [Growth] took this flexibility away, and added to his Physical attribute!

Jack felt his character was a dud.

What kind of useless talent was this?!

Character attributes were divided into: Strength, Intelligence, Defense, Agility, and Luck!

Among them, Strength, Defense, and Agility were the Physical Attributes. They corresponded to the Attack and Defense attribute bonuses, and the upper limit of Health Points.

The increase in Intelligence represented the increase in Magic Attack, and Spirit was the upper limit of MP.

Luck unknown.

Jack hadn’t learned about it in classes before, and he wondered that maybe he’d have to go to college to get the appropriate knowledge.

The Physical Attributes mentioned in [Growth] referred to Strength, Agility, Defense, and other related occupations such as Warriors, Hunters, Assassins, Shield Envoys.

Jack’s original plan was to become a Mage!

After all, any man would have the dream of becoming a Wizard.

Most importantly, in this world, Strength in the game could be brought to reality.

With a wave of his hand, the destruction of the world was no longer a dream.

Mages had the most Area of Effect damage skills, and they were the fastest to level up!

This was too important for an orphan like him.

Jack understood the importance of that!

Before transmigrating, he was already a high-leveled mage!

However…

None of this had anything to do with him anymore.

It was as if the time had come.

After obtaining his talent, Jack was forced to exit the Starting Ground directly.

Jack slowly put down his helmet and looked very dispirited. Seeing this, the teacher knew that the awakening of this student’s talent was not so ideal.

He stepped forward and scanned the helmet, identifying Jack’s talent level.

Grade B?

The teacher consoled him, “A Grade B talent is already quite good. Good luck!”

“Thanks,” Jack replied.

The teacher nodded and said,

“Next.”

“Year Three (3) Class, Mike!”

Mike walked forward and started awakening his talent.

Only Jack remained beside.

Recalling his previous life, he realized that even after coming to this world, he was still so ordinary.

Even in this magical world, he was trapped with such an ordinary talent.

With this in mind, Jack immediately cursed.
