Meng Xingyan transmigrated into the game world of Glory Era and was stunned.
He hadn't become a player. Instead, he was a cannon-fodder NPC who got killed off just one month after launch: a level-one elf prince named Xingyan Legolas.
Luckily, he not only brought with him memories of every future game update, but also awakened a one-of-a-kind [Echoes of the World] interface!
When the open beta began and billions of players descended, earning them the title of “The Fourth Calamity” from every native, only Meng Xingyan gazed at the lively “leeks” with shining eyes.
The hostile prince's schemes? In his hands, they became “limited-time epic dungeons” for players.
The empire's ace assassin? Perfect. He could be a “world boss” for Meng Xingyan's guild to claim the world's first kill.
An exclusive hidden class? He had the only guide. Want to change classes? Work for him first.
He issued quests, sold information, and resold equipment, gradually turning naïve players into his sharpest blades and strongest shields.
While players fought and died on the front lines, Meng Xingyan raked in mountains of experience behind the scenes, and his level skyrocketed.
From an impostor dancing on the edge of a blade to the mastermind controlling The Fourth Calamity; from cannon fodder struggling to survive to a faction leader who made the entire continent tremble.
Many years later, when the name Xingyan Legolas had become an immortal legend, the players finally realized: the strongest NPC in history, the one they revered, had been playing them from the very start.
